Calculating the “Nerd Scores”
Backstory: I’m working on a Ph.D. in Medieval History. My mother despairs of me meeting “nice boys”. When I met a promising chap at a Chaucer lecture, she wanted all the details.
Mom: By the way what is [he] studying ….is he also history?
me: no, philosophy
influence of medieval ideas on twentieth-century thought
Mom: Ah…..and yet can discuss Jane Austen too! A little scary, no?
me: only in a good way
and it’s kind of mutual
Mom: oh goody…
me: so the Nerd Scores are even ;)
Mom: Ha! I forgot that part of the “list”…
“Matching Nerd Score!”
me: yes, it’s very important

Today in Mom News: How Did You Choose Your Child’s Name?
The excellent website Babble is fielding the following question from a stumped Momma-to-be: How do you pick a baby name? Jessica’s mom was inspired by the Merchant of Venice when she named her daughter. She thought she was being original. Little did she know that Jessica was the most popular name for girls in 1982. D’oh! We want to hear about how you chose your child’s name or how your mother chose your name. Post your stories in the comments below.
Think About It
I know I have reminded you to call Grandpa, Fran and Margaret. I know you’ve got a lot going on, but no one is that busy!
Ever heard the old saying, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
Please think about it.
Love, mom
Snuggle Time Coming Right Up
That sounds nice. (great that you are in the art show) I don’t mean to be rude, but I am going to get off this computer and try snuggling with your father. Don’t make snide remarks… If we had never done this stuff – you wouldn’t have been born.
Thought You’d Appreciate My Coolness
So today I was passing one of my mangers… who by the way is late 50s at best.. and I said ‘ what up ‘??
He said, ‘did you just say “what up” ??’ and I said ‘ word ‘
Thought you’d appreciate my coolness…
Love you!!

Those are the ones I am talking about. old witchy things
blessing to be thankful for today…..I have no witchy wart thingys…
No one is winning a thing on Price is Right today. :( I have not watched it in a long time and now it is a dud.
We saw a bit of Bachelor last night and he picked the nasty one. Read that on the internet today (didn’t waste
all our time seeing the end).
Sounds like I am tv slumming, doesn’t it? Just me in the trailer and my tv. I need some brew and cheez-whiz, huh?
Have a good afternoon. Love, Mom
Hockey Problems
Backstory: My mother comes from a country on the equator. She the watched America vs. Canada in the olympics, it was her first hockey experience.
The problem with hockey is that everyone has a stick.
Show and…Vibe?
Mom: I’d thought about buying a netbook, but I’ve decided against it. I think I’ll be fine with my iPhone.
Me: I think you’d get a lot of use out of a netbook. A guy in my Media & Society class brought his in for show & tell & he really likes it.
Mom: Oh really? What’d you bring…. Your vibrator?
