So I’m sitting here typing an email earlier and I can hear the cows mooing.. and god they seem to be so much louder than usual….or maybe corey has his Tv really loud…but. it almost seems like they are right outside the window……and sure enough there are 20 cows standing in my yard……peeing, pooping and mooing.  They look up at me like, “What?? What’d we do??”

Backstory: this was after being married for 35 years.

Hey, I just signed your father and I up for Eharmony, apparently they have a computer that pairs you up if you’re compatible and i want to find out what it thinks.

Backstory: I had emailed my mom about being sick and particularly sneezy. She, of course, responded by telling me I should harness my sneezing to give her a grandchild.

About that sneezing thing I think you get that from me but you have it way worse. The good news is when you are about to deliver my first granddaughter I will get you to inhale some pepper and you can sneeze her right out. I just hope the Doctor is ready with her catcher’s mitt.

Backstory: My mother thinks she has a poor memory, so she writes lists of things she needs to talk to me about, and sends them to me.  This was today’s complete list.

Depression, Back problems, Bi-Polar, mood swings, unkind words, lack of reality, oblivious to financial responsibilities. Strange talk. No, not me!!!

Wow!
I really put a lot of very insightful thoughts in my journal tonight.
I want to read more by David Brooks.
I looked him up on wikipedia and can see I’m going to spend many hours with this amazingly  bright man.
Thank you!
Love Mom

Where did that hat come from,  when I saw it on the stairs yesterday am (I had just got out of bed) I thought it was cat throw up – its the same color – I thought the cat was really sick – couldnt see it was a hat till I was right up to it.  I think I need glasses.

Backstory: My mom and I were emailing about my childhood friend’s new baby.  She asked me the baby’s name, and I told her it was Myles.  Then the reminiscing began…

I dated a guy before I met your Dad named Myles.  He was VERY GOOD LOOKING, and he was Jewish.  He looked a lot like Michael Landon when he was very young.  Is any of this of any interest to anybody else besides me?
He worked where I worked.  There were four of us females in the office and we all couldn’t take our eyes off Myles.  We all had a “crush on him” sort of.  He and I went out, and he was WAY too needy.  He was TOO nice, and TOO attentive, and TOO caring.  I then had to kind of “dump him” but keep working with him.  A little awkward.  The other females couldn’t believe I didn’t want to go out with him again, but oh well…    Then a few months later I met your Dad.  I do, however, still remember how gorgeous he was.  ahhh….   Myles.

Backstory: My ma sent me this at 3 in the morning from a nye’s party. She finds a song she likes – last one was Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” – and plays it screamingly loud on repeat while she cleans the house.  She’s blown out 2 sets of speakers.

Cee Loo Brown or something AND I downloaded the Gwyneth Glee version as well.

actually…all three versions…forget you, forget you and fu

you know me, i love a song and play it repetitively!!!!!

Love, Mom

People say a person should learn something new each day and I learned that when you go to your dentist in the winter time you do not leave your fixodent in the car when it is in the lower teens.  IT FREEZES.  Now I am own my way to Food Lion to replinish my stock.

Have a Good Day.

Mum: Columbus just pooed on the floor!
Me: Why would I want to know that!
Mum: Needed to share it! About to make cheese straws!
