Expensive Homemade Cupcakes

Backstory: My mother is completely obsessed with Facebook, and will spend hours every evening on the computer. This was the night before her birthday.

Mom: I’m waiting for my cupcakes to be done so I can go to bed.
Me: You made cupcakes?
Mom: Yeah, and after all the money I paid for them I don’t want them to burn.
Me: Wait, you made your own birthday cupcakes? You baked?
Mom: No, on Yoville. I’m sitting at the computer waiting for them to finish – oh there, they’re done. NIGHT!

Living in Island Paradise

Backstory: My mom and I are into Island Paradise and she discovered a secret and wanted me to know, too. She and I are in competition for levels.

Okay, cuz you told me about the point thingy and not going for money, but xp points, and I’m ahead of R. by a lot (YAY!!!!) I’ll give you something I discovered. If you buy the old rusty bell, it will keep your goats from being plundered. I know you can lock, but in case you want to do that, you can. I bought one, then hid it behind trees. I didn’t want people to wonder why I bought it. (I also didn’t publish the announcement…that’s just plain stupid!)

Hope your day is going well. I missed you this weekend!!!

Mama

"I'm named after the song A Letter to Elise by The Cure, and my middlenames: Klara and Lisel were chosen because my mom had a dream about having a daughter named Klara, and she promised my great-grandmother that she would name me Lisel."
