<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's called "pick up your toys when you are done playing".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Admittedly, it is a concept that should have been drilled in their heads several years ago, but hey, I am still new at this grandmother gig.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So today we, I mean they, worked on picking up what I like to call Barbie-land-from-hell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(I know what to call it because Mary and Audrey used to make the same mess.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(In fact, most of the Barbie stuff IS Mary and Audreys....)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As usual, they were very reluctant to pick stuff up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VpRiCcCHTTE/U9luorGILwI/AAAAAAAABZo/JFRu-6mWdRM/s1600/Barbie+clean+up+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VpRiCcCHTTE/U9luorGILwI/AAAAAAAABZo/JFRu-6mWdRM/s1600/Barbie+clean+up+1.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took a lot of encouragement on my part.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ySpRYm0F6Gw/U9lu_CmtC5I/AAAAAAAABZw/49uH6E0uqFQ/s1600/Barbie+clean+up+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ySpRYm0F6Gw/U9lu_CmtC5I/AAAAAAAABZw/49uH6E0uqFQ/s1600/Barbie+clean+up+2.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But they finally got it done!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then Neve came over with the Danny doll from the New Kids On The Block, and asked if i could put his Army pants on. As I struggled to pull the nylon camo pants up the plastic legs, I couldn't help but notice that Danny was still wearing the Brenda from 90210 doll's teal bikini bottoms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not being a judgmental person, I merely figured that life is a series of journeys...and Danny was on one strange journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We then had the following discussion - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neve: Mimi, I need to make a mess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: What? Why??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neve: I need to find the carnade for Ken (Danny).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grey: Neve, it's a GRENADE!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: Where are the grenades? (Sadly knowing the answer.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neve: In the bottom of the Barbie tub.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grey: Why does he need a grenade anyway?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neve: He needs a <i>garnade </i>because he needs to FIGHT!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mary is ready to have baby Henry. She has been busy feathering her little nest, getting things "just so" for her new little one. And her new life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I took her shopping for a new nightgown and robe because my mom said that it is criminal to go to the hospital for a new baby with an old robe.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Audrey is ready to move to Australia to live with her love Joel. She is busy packing and putting things in storage and trying to feather her new nest with just two suitcases. Two suitcases to start her new life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I've tried to be encouraging and helpful because my mom said that you have to be supportive and let them go and get a belly-full.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But mom never told me what to do when my baby girl excitedly calls to tell me that it's almost time, that it is down to mere hours. She is finally going to meet the new love of her life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And mom never told me what to do when I walk into my other baby's room and see that it is nearly all packed up and I realize that it is almost time. Just a couple weeks away. She is finally going to live with the love of her life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She never told me how to deal with this overwhelming surge of love and fear and protectiveness. This wanting to grab both of them in my arms and shield them from life for just a few minutes longer....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They might be grown women, but they are still my babies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Henry Ellis says:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> "All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks, mom, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">for not telling me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I probably wouldn't have listened anyway.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Boy did that bring back memories! Alan Sherman was big in the sixties - kinda like a very Jewish Weird Al Yankovic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My step mom owned this album and I just would sit and study the album cover. It fascinated me on so many levels. I wanted to grow up and look just like that woman. And when I told Larry about it that lead to a discussion about album covers - How they just don't look like they used to - what with that small area that the CD case allows - they just don't seem to have the same "artiness" that they used to have. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then we started talking about our favorite album covers ---</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out how her foot is turned....women just don't stand like that anymore. Larry likes the placement of Alan Sherman's foot. So classic....</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This, obviously was Larry's favorite album cover. Let me rephrase that</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> - it is probably the favorite album cover of all living breathing males of that era... Oh, that Herb Albert..</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much to Larry's dismay, he found that even if you stared at the album cover for hours, the whipped cream would just <i><b>NEVER</b></i> melt....<br /></span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, I had my own favorite Herb Albert album cover...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that's ok.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a grandmother. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wear Crocs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And glasses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I have decided to never dye my hair again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But every once in awhile, it's nice to feel, well, cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was kind of cool once...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V1IZfc7fphI/U1Z885UTQeI/AAAAAAAABWY/1kOQ5-ljxfY/s1600/tube+top+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V1IZfc7fphI/U1Z885UTQeI/AAAAAAAABWY/1kOQ5-ljxfY/s1600/tube+top+(2).jpg" height="640" width="322" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was 17 and I rocked this tube top. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now my daughter Audrey - she's a hipster. She wears the clothes that I love but would never dare to wear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I pretty much live vicariously thru her wardrobe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other day she meandered into the kitchen in a sweatshirt that she had just doctored - she cut out the crew neck and it looked cool. And I thought - why, I could do that and mentally shelved that idea away.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday I was feeling achey and sore throaty and shivery, so I reached into my closet to grab my green sweatshirt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My green sweatshirt with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd on the front of it. I got it at a thrift shop for Mary more years ago than I care to remember. After it fell out of favor with her, it just naturally found it's way to my closet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I wore it to nearly every horse show when it was chilly - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I also always wore this blue scarf....</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And it was evidently the sweatshirt that was hanging out in the car because I wore it to the beach - on more than one occasion - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like this time - </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So it was just second nature to pull it out of the closet when I needed to snuggle down. I yanked it over my head and after I knocked my glasses off I remembered the one thing that I hated about this sweatshirt - the stinking neck was too tight!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But wait - I had a remedy - if it worked for Audrey, it would work for me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So out came the scissors and I cut that neckline out, and for good measure, I cut off the binding around the waist too. Of course,the whole time I was battling the thought of my ex-stepmom who was sitting on my shoulder horrified that I was cutting up a perfectly good shirt....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Afterwards I </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">put that baby on and it felt soooo good. So soft and comfy and sooo easy to pull over my head!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I looked in the mirror and sadly realized that I didn't look like a hipster at all. Just an older lady with a cut up sweatshirt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Audrey came home later and kindly suggested that it was probably the picture of Bugs Bunny that was doing the injustice - that if I turn the sweatshirt inside out it might look a little more fashionable - you know,like something out of Soft Surroundings - so I did it and darned if she wasn't right - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sminky crawled right up on my shoulder and cuddled up and fell asleep.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Larry and I will be married for 34 (that's THIRTY FOUR) years on Friday!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I borrowed this from Audrey a couple of years ago because I love what it says about Larry and me and because I love how it is written. I came across it by accident when I finished reading something else that she had written back when she was writing on the Bread and Circus website.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I read it. Then I read it again </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with tears running down my cheeks</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Then I printed it out and made Larry read it. And I feel the same way every time I read it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, I am the one who wanted to read this again - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you all enjoy this as much as Larry and I have!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's to thirty-four more years!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: #ffffe3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18pt;">My mom never takes off her wedding ring. Bathing, washing dishes, polishing the silver, dying her hair, painting the kitchen, gutting a turkey. The ring stays on. I would see her occasionally fidget with it, trying to pry it off. Unwillingly, it twisted up just enough to show a sun pardoned indentation, the result of twenty-eight years of solid location. Then she would slide it back into place, where it was simply another part of her finger, not a gleaming gold band.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: #ffffe3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0.2in 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She told me that, in her first marriage, she would take off her ring before doing any dirty or wet job. She was afraid of marring its shine or flawless surface, she said, but mostly I think she was just afraid of losing it down a drain… or up a turkey’s ass. She was staying with her in-laws while her husband was at basic training. Her mother-in-law always commented on how she would lose her ring if she kept taking it off. My mom brushed it off as one of many snarky comments. One day, before taking a shower, she took her ring off and left it on the sink. While she was in the shower, her mother-in-law came in to get something, lingered at the sink, and left. When my mom finished toweling off, she saw that the ring was gone. My mom confronted her mother-in-law, but the woman looked at my mom as if she was speaking a different language. All her mother-in-law said: “You’re nineteen years old, a mother, and a wife. You should be able to keep track of your belongings.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #ffffe3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0.2in 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mom says that’s when she knew her marriage wouldn’t last.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #ffffe3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0.2in 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn’t lose a lot as a child. I kept toys and books and school work, clothes and shoes and sunglasses. But I always lost rings. They’d end up at the bottom of the pool, or down the shower drain; or I would absently leave them on the sink after I washed my hands, walking away and forgetting I put them on in the first place. Sometimes I would put them on the night stand before bed, and not find them again for years.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #ffffe3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0.2in 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, even belly rings and brocade pins always found their way back to my jewelry box. But I have lost every single ring I’ve ever owned. My mom wears one ring. And she never takes it off. As a kid, I firmly believed my mom’s ring was the strength that kept her marriage together. I was thoroughly convinced that if she lost that ring, I would lose my father.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #ffffe3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0.2in 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And so, I thought that a ring would be the test for whether or not a man was to be “the one” for me. If he were to give me a ring, and I didn’t lose it immediately, he would be the keeper. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>And I would never take it off, because I would want to keep him forever. Just like my mom and dad’s marriage, mine would be as strong and stable as the ring on her finger.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #ffffe3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0.2in 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is their 32<sup>nd</sup> anniversary. Like their rings, their marriage has become an irreplaceable, permanent part of their lives. Something that they can twist and maneuver, but can never take off; something that gets marred and scratched, but still gleams. Best friends, partners, parents, but most importantly, two people who love, cherish and respect one another more with every year they’re together. They’re inspiring. And I’m beyond lucky to have been raised in their example.</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6009854110024466901" name="_GoBack" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;"></a></span></span></div>

She loves dresses, shoes, any kind of jewelry, nail polish, and especially scarves.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even waaaay back she loved scarves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She started loving shoes at an early age too. Here is Neve and her Coach booties....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So today I was in my closet trying to find something to wear when Neve wandered in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Mimi", she says, "can I play dress up with some of your shoes?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"OK," I said a little worriedly. As we all know, I am not big in the sexy shoe department.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I showed her a pair of brown pumps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Uh, No Mimi."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I showed her a pair of cloth black pumps that I have had since ohhh...1998.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She wrinkled her nose and just shook her head.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I pulled out my "good" black patent leather high heels that I got in Germany. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1986. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the Thrift Shop.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No" She sighed. "Not those."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I shyly got out my favorite shoes that I never wear because they hurt so bad. (They will fit well one day - I am sure of it!!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neve looked me straight in the face and said in a voice that showed every bit of her disappointment and dismay at my choices - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh Mimi...Are those your <i>BOWLING SHOES?</i></span><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">?"</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So she decided to take the black patent leather shoes, and left me alone in my closet of shame.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At least my cats love me and don't judge my unexciting shoes...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Living in stressful times, I think that it might be a good way to face Friday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will be a great way to use my pretty glasses and cocktail napkins and cute little bowls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, to quote Shirley Jackson, "<i>We all should live more graciously." </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, since Larry </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and I don't really drink, it will be an education.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's not to say that every drink will include alcohol - I think that ANY drink - even lemonade - would taste WONDERFUL if it is shaken with ice and strained and poured into a pretty glass!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I will report weekly on our progress and include recipes for the drinks and for the nibbles that go with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just not this week as I've only just decided to do this. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start with this week we shall have a small margarita (which I have a mix for because frankly, I have no idea how to make one!!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or rather, I <i>tried</i> to make cinnamon crust. I mean, what could be easier? You sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on leftover strips of pie dough and bake. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Boom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cinnamon crust.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I burnt the bejesus out of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I was looking at the smokey ruins of what was going to be my sooo cool hipster yuppie deconstructed pumpkin pie -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(pumpkin custard made with heavy cream instead of evaporated milk, scooped into antique green depression glass sherbet cups with a</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> lazy dollop of whipped cream and a couple of cinnamon crust pieces stuck helter-skelter around the side and </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">maybe </i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">just a scant sprinkling of nutmeg on the top..... -sigh...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, as I was trying to scrub the pan of the burnt sugar I realized that I haven't been able to make cinnamon crust that wasn't burnt since Feb 12th, 1975.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How can I pinpoint the date with such accuracy?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later that night I unexpectedly went into labor with my firstborn, Shayne.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My baby brother Bryan and I had the house to ourselves and we made some cinnamon crust and settled down to watch The Sonny and Cher Show. (Or was it just Cher then?) Anyway, Elton John was on and we wanted to see him. (Don't judge me - it was a simpler time.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wasn't feeling well and kept running to the bathroom. And my back hurt like crazy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finally called my dad and told him that my back was killing me and I couldn't get out of the bathroom before I had to go back in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Call your doctor" he said. And "I'm on my way home."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I refused to call my doctor because earlier THAT DAY she said that I was going to deliver early, but not until next week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I was holding onto that pronouncement like it was written in stone. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By Moses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Besides that, my grandmother was coming down the next day and we were going baby shopping. All I had baby-wise were two sleepers that my brothers had worn and a nightgown that had belonged to my sister.. That was it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So my dad got home and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">munched on some cinnamon crust while </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">watching me for a few minutes as I was laying on the couch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then he got up and demanded my doctors' number which I grudgingly gave him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The conversation went something like this -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My dad: I bringing my daughter in. She's in labor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My doctor: Well she might be but I don't think so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My dad: I am the oldest of six and I have five children. How many do you have?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My doctor: I'll meet you at the hospital.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, as a favor to my dad, I put on my chucks and climbed into his truck and he took off like a maniac.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(What he didn't tell me until later was that he'd timed my contractions and that they were five minutes apart.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BTW my first husband was stationed in GA going to school and blissfully unaware of what was going on as I had assured him earlier that evening that I wouldn't be having the baby until next week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We walked in and the nurse took one look at me and said "she'll be going home within the hour."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They got me all gowned up and checked my cervix and said "OMG she's 5 centimeters!! She's staying!!" They then did a few horrible things to me that I am happy to say they no longer do to laboring women. Then they let my dad back in. His girlfriend Georgia had gotten there and she stood on one side and my dad on the other as the nurses scurried about. My doctor finally showed up, popped her head in the door and the nurse just looked at her and said HURRY!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was being transferred to the delivery room when my mother-in-law Julia showed up. The nurses waited while she held my hand and told me that she wished she could take the pain away. I told her her in a most heartfelt way that I, too sure wished that she could. Then she looked in the labor room and saw my chucks on the floor and said "She wore THOSE??" My dad told her to be quiet - he was lucky to have gotten me there in the first place!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shayne was born sometime after midnight. I asked so many questions that I remember my doctor asked me to please be quiet for a minute so that she could get deliver my baby. So then I tried to squirm around so that I could see and nearly slid off the table...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shayne was in distress so they had to send him by ambulance to the next town that had a neonatal unit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So around two o'clock in the morning I was in my room, alone and totally dazed at the events of the evening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, as I recall, earlier I had made some pretty darn good cinnamon crust.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around 5:30 pm on Saturday we got a text from Audrey, our stalwart Basset Hound watcher.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But I just watched Sommersby again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And I am sad to say, they still haven't found a loophole. Or an appeal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jack Sommersby still died.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've been watching this movie for twenty years.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Obviously the grandbabies were spending the night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The opening scene has a huge magnet that draws everything metal up into space. And as I was watching it, my menopause addled brain had a thought - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: Wow! If there really was a magnet that size would it mess with the polar axis?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Larry: uh, no.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: But were you impressed that I used the phrase "polar axis" in a sentence?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Larry: well, yeah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HA! <i>Still surprising him after 34 years!!!!!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sue and Larry and I painted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sue and Lance and I cleared out the room. And oops Larry too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grey and Neve even got in the action and helped move things out and up and down the stairs and the pulled up painters tape that I had painstakingly placed on the baseboards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BTW - Taping things in prep for painting is going to be my new job in hell. Just sayin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So with all that hard work they deserved a little Amazon.com time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After we had ordered Neve asked if she could get some Crocs. We looked and couldn't find any on Amazon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then she said "Don't they have a buycrocs.com or something like that?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Indeed they do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I go to the website it always says "Welcome Kimberlee!" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So off we went to crocs.com.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And in the<i> sale section</i> we found <i>PINK HELLO KITTY</i> crocs that were <i>sheepskin lined</i>!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well of course we ordered them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They came in this morning and they are just as cute as can be.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And since we've had the grandkids over for New Years Eve for the last few years, we figure that we're starting the New Year out just fine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, let me tell you about last night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We hadn't seen the kids in a couple of weeks - we went out of town and then they went to Wisconsin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So while they were gone Larry and I were living life kinda crazy....staying up until almost <b style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">9 pm...</b> (That's the earliest we could risk putting the dogs to bed) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last night we were yawning by about 7 pm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><u>OK. We're old.</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then it came up on 8pm and the kids shown absolutely NO signs of slowing down. We figured that it was time to take some slow down measures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Neve", I asked, "would you like to put your nightgown on and then put lotion on your legs?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Sure Mimi" she replied.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I am sitting in a chair and she puts her foot on my thigh which puts her knee pretty much level with her nose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried to remember the last time that I could stand on one foot with my other leg hitched up to the sky and 1) not immediately fall over or 2) not be shrieking in pain as my hip sockets broke. I turned around to Larry and said "when was the last time that you could stand like that?" He just shook his head in wonder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neve looked up at us and said kind of nostalgically - "I used to be able to put my leg up higher, but that was last year...."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year. When she was three.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sigh....</span><br />

Actually, <i>don't like</i> is such a pale word to describe how <i>terrified</i> I am when faced with driving and snow and/or ice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This phobia is well known in my family. And as the only one in my family who fears snow and ice, I am roundly made fun of <i><u><b>every time</b></u></i> there are one or two flakes lazily floating down to the earth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So on Monday I was less than thrilled with the weather. We waited until the sun came up and then scraped off the car. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is a text between Mary and I:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Me: The government is delayed for 2 hours. We are figuring out if dad is going to drive himself to the metro or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary: Alrighty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Later....</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><u><br /></u></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Me: Are you going in late?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary: Getting ready now. Lance is de-icing my car.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Much Later....</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><u><br /></u></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Me: Oh did I say that I was taking dad to the metro? By that I mean that dad is driving to the metro and I am in the passenger seat in a fetal position hiding my face and crying because i have to drive home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary: LOL.</span><br />

He handed over his driver's license and was unpleasantly surprised to hear that he had exceeded his monthly limit. Especially since he hadn't bought any sudafed this month...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we told Audrey about it at lunch, we told her we were going home and calling the store to make sure that they were correct because we didn't want to think that someone else was using Larry's ID.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Me: Good news! It was a mistake at Wegman's!!! Dad is NOT a methhead!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Audrey: A mistake at Wegman's?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Me: Re his attempt to purchase Sudafed last night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Audrey: Ohhhhhh! I read that as "meathead" not "methhead"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Me: Important difference.....</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a parent consistency was not my strong point. I mean the kids were clean and fed and clothed and schooled and put to bed at regular intervals, but perhaps the bed and fed and schooled times varied.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And at Christmas, Larry would always put up the tree - if he was there. And he would always take down the tree - if he was there. (One year during Desert Storm, the tree stayed up well into late January when I finally took it down and dumped all the ornaments into a big basket where they stayed in the corner until Larry got home sometime in March.) Single parenting is a bitch....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We do have a couple of traditions that we try to hold onto year after year:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) We have a nice catered Italian meal every Christmas Eve. I.E. we order out pizza. It started when Larry seemed to be gone a lot around Christmas time and it helped set the tone for the evening. We eat pizza while we watch Gremlins. (The girls have added the alcohol in the last few years.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) I make a massive breakfast after we open presents - and the last 20 years or so I've been making "Breakfast Bowls" a dish that I've unashamedly stolen from Bob Evans. It is also called "heart attack in a bowl" by my children, but I don't recall anyone turning away from them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And maybe the one thing that we all remember -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Our own personal Elf. My mom brought it back from Germany in the late 50's. And every year it gets just a bit more raggedy. We finally resorted to placing on a limb of the tree near the trunk because it is too fragile to hang. And placing it was always Joshua's job. He did it at the very end, just before Mary put the angel on the top of the tree.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(We lost it for a couple of years. While it was gone, my friend Lyndy picked up a bunch of elves at yard sales for us and it helped a lot, but when we found that stray box in the attic with our elf in it, we all breathed a sigh of relief.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe my kids will do Elf on the Shelf when they have kids.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope that they do that and eat pizza and have big breakfasts and pick a special child to put their elf on the tree.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe I'll even let them borrow mom's elf.....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thursday was Halloween and Friday was Shayne's surgery and then we had the kids afterwards and we were up early on Saturday so that we could get the kids home and get to Silver Spring to see Jesus Christ Superstar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">By the time we got home Saturday night we were dead tired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We stayed up for a couple of hours with Lucy and Ellie then staggered upstairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was eating some yogurt and asked Larry if he wanted to finish it. "Sure", he said, "what kind?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Without hesitation I replied "Potato."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He didn't even flinch as I handed him the <i>pumpkin</i> yogurt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Which begs the question -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><u>Exactly who was the most tired???</u></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was listening to WTOP (as per usual) when they broke with the story about the school shooting in Nevada.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you know, I have a niece and nephew who are students in Nevada.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WTOP did not mention the location of the shooting, so I was a little concerned as I went into the last store on my list. It was just a run in and run out kind of a trip so i just grabbed my credit card and left every thing else in the car.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I got back to the car about ten minutes later, there was a missed call on my cell phone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It had a Nevada area code, but it was an unfamiliar number.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My heart skipped several beats.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I called the number back but all I got was an generic voice mail recording.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I called my sister-in-law, but got HER voice mail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I called my brother, but got a text saying that he was busy and would call me back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was having a little trouble breathing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then WTOP broke back in and said that the school was near Reno. As relieved as I was about it not being "my" students, I felt so sad for the school near Reno.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got back home and turned on TV and sure enough, Grey's Anatomy was doing a show about a school shooting. Oh no.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My brother called me back - his was the unknown number - his new work cell phone. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He couldn't believe the timing of it all - he wasn't even in Nevada and wasn't aware of the shooting when he just randomly called me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so heartsick about the upswing in school shootings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It used to be that school was the safe place for your children to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But now it seems like there aren't any "safe" places anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So hug your family close and pray for Sparks, Nevada and all the school systems and students and teachers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And pray for a solution to all this madness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There has to be one out there....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Neve woke up this morning and within five minutes was downstairs bright-eyed and chirping about cats.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Grey, however, surveyed the situation, grabbed a pop-tart and asked if he could take it back upstairs.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--H-Lj5jWvF4/UmKDqrcePZI/AAAAAAAABMI/zwV1Bll-qbw/s1600/GM+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--H-Lj5jWvF4/UmKDqrcePZI/AAAAAAAABMI/zwV1Bll-qbw/s640/GM+2.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I, on the other hand, had staggered down the stairs two hours earlier at 6:15 AM to let the girls out and I hadn't progressed much past standing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I offered up donuts and bacon - it IS Saturday morning after all - and chocolate milk in fancy goblets.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Now the house smells agreeably like bacon and coffee... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And I savored my first cup.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turns out that there is a Very Important Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to watch so I need to join the chocolate milk swilling donut eating baconators.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I need an Owl.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I mentioned it to Audrey. She said "And would you like to be whisked away to Hogwarts too?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I mentioned it to my other children. Let's just say that I am sure if they keep making those faces that they are going to freeze like that. And then where would they be?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I mentioned it to Lucy and Ellie. They figured that if cat food is tasty - owl food could be even better!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would've mentioned it to Larry but he is out of town at the moment. But it's ok. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I mentioned it to the cats. They said "Owls?? Owls?? Baked or fried??"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hmmmnnn....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I guess that some dreams are better left unrequited....</span><br />

We sit and get mad at the daughter actor - I mean who talks like that without getting smacked? And we cry and cry. And we generally make the same remarks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning I was flipping thru the channels and saw that Stepmom was playing and since it was about half way thru so I turned it on. I figured it was safe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was by myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a mistake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was sniffling as I texted Audrey - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: Stupid Stepmom movie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: We didn't sing and do choreographed dances enough as a family. I hereby apologize.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Audrey: I feel like you say that every time you watch Stepmom. ...we've forgiven you...as a family. It's ok.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: I want Susan Sarandon's wardrobe. It's classic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: And her house too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: Thank you. And the two of them riding that ONE horse in the snow?? Did they not watch The Horse Whisperer?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Audrey: Apparently not...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we had to stop texting because she was at work and I couldn't see to text anymore because I was frankly sobbing by then. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stupid movie.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sun was shining and I was feeling good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked up Larry and even tho he had to work an hour later than usual, we figured that we were up for some shopping. So we made a plan....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> "We'll just run over to Costco on the way home and get a few things. We'll pick up water and bleach and milk etc. Then maybe swing by the Checkers drive thru and get a chili dog!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traffic was heavy and about and hour and a half later (or approximately 16 miles) we began to scale back our plans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We'll just go to Wegman's and get a little bit of water and some milk and save Costco for Saturday. Maybe run by McDonalds and try out the new Mighty Wings and get a hamburger...."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then about 45 minutes later (9 miles) we got on the exit to 29 and sat stock still for 10 minutes before we started c-r-e-e-p-i-n-g towards the bridge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And we scaled our plans back even further....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We'll just run by the McDonalds drive-thru and then stop at the B.P. and grab a couple of big Aquafina's and that will hold us until tomorrow!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like I said...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Best-laid plans of mice and men oft</span><span class="idir" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">en</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"> go astray....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12875414022467485993noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009854110024466901.post-14961302648518695192013-09-23T19:10:00.004-04:002013-09-23T19:10:58.081-04:00Momma Had a Girl<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mom loved getting her hair done. She loved trying out different styles and colors. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> And since mom got her hair done at least once a week, it was always a surprise to see </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">what she had gotten done. She always came home relaxed. And energized. And better able to face life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I knew that Audrey had inherited that particular gene the first time I took her to a salon when she was about 9. She settled into that shampoo chair with a look of pure bliss on her face. I sadly realized that I would never be able to trim those bangs again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nowadays, we have our hairdressers, or stylists, or beauticians. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back in the day, my mom had a "girl".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The one that I remember best was named Sally. Sally was married to a guy in my dad's Air Force unit, so mom and Sally were together for years. They were friends in and out of the salon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mom didn't take us along with her very often - that was her adult time. But when I could, I always loved to go along with her to her appointments. I'd try to make myself small and be really quiet so that I could listen to the ladies talking. After a while they'd forget that I was there and then things got interesting!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(We didn't have the Lifetime channel back then, so a girl had to get her life lesson info any way she could!!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was also to my advantage to be still and quiet and as invisible as I could. Then maybe mom would forget that she brought me in to get my hair cut too. As a young girl in the '60's with thick frizzy naturally curly hair the best way to control my hair was to "thin" it. With a razor. And it hurt like hell so I'd always end up crying. Very embarrassing. And painful. It could be why I didn't really start going to salons until I was a lot older. And when I find one that can cut curly hair I tend to stay with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nowadays, my girl is a guy named Brandon. A real rock star of a guy who went to school with Audrey. She sent me to him this spring with her credit card and said "Enjoy!" And boy, did I!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I was feeling a bit low and in need of a change in June and I made a spur of the moment decision to go and get my hair "did". I managed to get an appointment and started the 186 mile round trip to get my hair done and to get a little salve for my soul.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was just what I needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact, I liked it sooo much that I tagged along with Audrey at her next appointment and had it cut again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And here is the proof that my new hair cut was successful - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Saturday, I was sitting at the kitchen table, staring blankly at nothing, miserable with a sinus infection and some new meds, I was still in my jammies, hadn't showered, in fact I had slept on the couch the night before as part of a sleepover with my grandbabies; yep, real Miss America material.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Larry walked by, kissed the top of my head and said, "I know that you feel rotten sweetie, but your hair looks really nice."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow. Sweet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An unsolicited atta-boy from my husband of 33 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you Brandon! My hair looks great. And my soul was calmed. And I am </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">better able to face life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No wonder my mom loved her girls so much!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
