The Truth Behind Dad’s Itinerary

Postcards From Yo Momma — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:30:40 +0000

Backstory: I’m in Spain for a semester abroad and Dad is coming for a visit.

Mom: Daddy flew home last night and spent the night in CT, then left this afternoon for the airport. He is excited about your weekend together. Heard that he rented a car. If my memory is correct, the roads in Spain between Madrid and Grenada can be steep and twisty so if anyone tends to get carsick they should sit in the front. He has your stuff (I hope) but I don’t see it anywhere around the house so that’s a good sign! Love, the Mama

Me: I was a bit curious why his itinerary showed him flying out of JFK. So he just came home for a day?

Mom: Quite frankly, your father came home for a booty call.

No Bam-Bam Allowed

Postcards From Yo Momma — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:45:44 +0000

Thanks for the info. I particularly like the “luxury coach with a bathroom” – yippee!!
Call me before you leave if you get a chance – if not I’ll check in with you over the weekend.
This sounds like so much fun.
Now the mother-announcement again – have fun, be careful, no going off with the natives, stay with people from the group, no bam-bam, probably only bottled water and bring pepto-bismol tablets!!!

love you – mom

Now That You’re a Loose Woman

Postcards From Yo Momma — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:30:58 +0000

Backstory: I spent a year backpacking and I called my mum all excited about a great guy I met. This was part of her response.

I had a dream last night about you and babies! Which prompts me to STRESS that now that you are a Loose Woman you absolutely don’t want, or should I say I don’t want you to become a surprised statistic. You know the ones that never think it can happen to them and then finds themselves pregnant. In this day and age there is no reason for that to happen.

I think it would be a good time to get onto the pill, and the added benefit is that your periods become less! Yippee! A good effect.

How to Save Money in Italy

Postcards From Yo Momma — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:30:28 +0000

Backstory: My brother Frank took our very fit and youthful 75 year-old mother to Italy for ten days… and found ways to stretch every dollar they spent!

Mom: We had a double room in Rome but we would have had to pay twice as much for two people to stay in it so Frank smuggled me in.

Me: He WHAT?

Mom: We never entered or left the hotel together. I would just pretend to be visiting another guest.

Me: Oh my God!

Mom: And to get a buffet meal you had to buy a token at reception and then present it in the restaurant. So I would really fill my plate and then Frank would slip into the restaurant and eat off it too. (Laughs).

Me: I’m just glad i didn’t have to call our embassy to bail you both out of jail!

Time is flying past. Before we know it we will be home with smiles on our faces and many wonderful memories to keeps us satisfied over the winter. We have many new friends to stay in touch with and will hopefully see again.

Speaking of staying in touch, that’s a great idea. Why don’t you try it

How to Fit a Bra, Via Warsaw

Postcards From Yo Momma — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:36:01 +0000

Backstory: My family is Polish and my mom is currently spending a few months in Warsaw. We email back and forth daily, and the above email came just the other day with the word “cyce” (boobs, in Polish) in the subject heading. I translated this little jewel from Polish for your reading pleasure.

I watched a program about how to select bras. A bra should be sufficiently tight around your bust such that the side panels and metal supports fall under your armpits and don’t bisect your breast, creating folds under your armpits (those folds that frazzle us in dressing rooms). When you put a bra on you should use your hand to scoop up all the excess skin from under your armpits and into the cup of the bra (this is our “lost” bust). Boobs become a size larger and the folds under your armpits disappear. I checked, and all my bras are now too small.

Contact Lens “Solution”

Postcards From Yo Momma — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:55:21 +0000

So, after we left you on Friday night, back at the campground I realized I had forgotten to bring along my contact lens case, No problem, because teaspoons will substitute nicely, in an Emergency. Unfortunately, Dad had cereal for breakfast, and ate my left lens. He’s such a fun, alert guy to hang out with!

Who Needs to Smell Anyway?

Postcards From Yo Momma — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:30:21 +0000

Backstory: I sent my mom a travel itinerary and got this reply. She looooooves Zicam but the FDA just advised people to stop using it at risk of losing your sense of smell.

Thanks honey! WOW what fun! Take the Zicam with you anyway (damn the FDA). Grab it TONITE while you can get it!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH – Mommy xxxxxxxooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooooooooxxxxxxxx

Everything’s Over the Counter in Europe!

Postcards From Yo Momma — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:30:06 +0000

Backstory: My mom has been traveling (aka eating and drinking her way) around Europe with her boyfriend, and this was the last entry on her travel blog.

PS Did you know you can buy Botox over the counter here? Wonder if the syringes would set off any alarms at the airport? Now if they just had a home kit for liposuction. I would really be in business!

You Are Keeping Yourself Occupied, but Not Regular

Postcards From Yo Momma — Fri, 22 May 2009 13:30:38 +0000

Your neurotic mother is concerned about your bowels. Granola bars and a roll for4 days is not adequate. Can’t you find any fruit? Please, at least get some juice. Of course, I would be happy if you got in a little protein. Isn’t there a market where you cold get some wonderful bread and ham? Do you have a kitchen in your flat? Take a little red pill if you need.

Are you sleeping? Are you over your jet lag?

I’ll call you this w/e. Just let me know when it would be best. Sounds like you are keeping yourself occupied. Buy yourself a ganga deal. You deserve it.

Love you,
Mama
