Backstory: My mom is getting plastic surgery in a few days and will be on bed rest for two weeks…she thought she would get some early Christmas shopping done and told us to email her with gift ideas… although after our replies, I’m thinking we won’t be getting anything at all.

Mom: Ok Kiddies,
Since I will be laid up for some time starting tomorrow.  I’ll have plenty of time to do some online shopping.
How about sending me some ideas for Christmas gifts.
Love ya
Mom

Older Brother:
Kind of scared what gifts we’ll get if you’re shopping in a post-surgery, medicated state :D

Me:
who knows? With all that medication maybe this year I’ll finally get that pony I’ve always wanted…

Younger Brother:
I want to get branded with the Dallas Cowboys logo on my stomach.

Mom:
You are all just too hilarious.  Ponys and brandings?  Where do you think you all live?  The Ponderosa?

I am very excited about coming down on Friday night and going to the BEACH!!  It will give us some “bonding time”. Don’t worry, I have no agenda, I’m just using the old cliche. It will be fun spending time with you. You are a very intelligent woman and I learn alot every time we are together.  I went to a dinner put on by the drug reps on the HPV vaccine. It was informative and the food was incredible-it was at the Simon Pearce, an eatery (I tried to spell restaraunt but my menopausal brain is short circuiting this morning). The place is in Quechee, very la de da. Anyway, I should be getting ready for work, I don’t think I will make it by 8am since it’s 7:54 now. By the way-I do have a problem with my left breast implant-it has formed scar tissue and it’s encapsulated so it’s as hard as a rock. Massage and vit E are supposed to help loosen things up. The right side is great but on the left it’s a true Barbie doll breast. See you on Friday night.

Love
