My demented mother!

To get this story, if you haven't heard it already, you MAY NOT look at pictures at bottom until you have finished reading. Here goes:

Mom & I are leaving Town Club after yoga class. I say "oohh mom, check out that corvette next to my van, it's brand new". So we go over to just check it out, I thought. Then my mom starts putting her hands ON THE WINDOWS to peek in. So I figure the alarm is about to go off. Then she says, "I wonder if it's unlocked". She goes for the door handle as I start panicking telling her to stop it! The alarm is gonna go off! But no, she opens the door. By this point I figure someone's keychain is going off inside and some bodybuilder is gonna come running at us! Then she says"come smell the new car smell" as she proceeds to sit IN A STRANGERS NEW CORVETTE. At this point I am pacing in the parking lot telling my mom to get out of that persons car NOW! But she doesn't stop there. Apparently, the new cars have a push button start so she decides to see if it will start. It does. I am just about on the pavement unconscious. My chicken, shyest person I know, mother is going to get us arrested! I say very sternly: Get out of that car--I am leaving! She says"okay, okay" turns it off, shuts the door. In the back of my pea-sized brain I am still expecting a swarm of cops at any moment. As I start to stomp off to my car she pulls something out of her purse and shakes something at me:
Smiling like the evil woman she is, says, "IT'S MINE!" while shaking her keys at me. Yes, my mom totally punked me :) Then i got to drive it--So I forgave her. I only got it to 95mph because I was in town. Peeled out around one corner, she wasn't too happy about that! Can't wait to drive it outside of town on a highway! It is a gorgeous, beautiful car and her and my Dad totally derserve it!


Alek & Aidan were thrilled! Jeremy's Dad bought a white one about 3 years ago, so they just have the coolest Grandparents ever, huh?

A Recipe For. . . . .??

Start with a backyard more dirt than grass, add just enough snow to make mud,


dog sit an extra mutt,

Let Alek talk me into 2 friends staying over:

mix in a little brother trying desperately to keep up w/ the big boys

Add the necessity of this verbal threat: If my ceiling crashes in, I am calling your parents and ya'll R going home

What do I have? Someone tell me, make me laugh!!!

Valentine's Day

Yeah, it's a late post, but I have been having fun sharing these pictures. Dressing up 80's was really fun. Kipp, Kim, Charity, Ty, Jeremy and me all went. It was at the Nat Ballroom. They played great 80's music, but they missed "99 Red Luft Balloons"--Too Bad!!

Spatini Party

Felisha,Darlene,Takeita,Stacey,Amy

Here are pic's from my "spatini". Now, it may appear as some strange cult practice, but

I assure you, it's not!! If you haven't been to one or had one, I highly recommend it. We had a few drinks, snacks, a lot of laughs (thx Amy & Stacey!), and got pampered a bit. I am surprised at how much I like the Beauticontrol products. I have a link to my hostess's page, Karen, on the right. My sister-in-law, Takeita is having one towards the end of February, if anyone wants to go, let me know and you can come w/ me.

AHHH, HOWS THAT FOR RELAXED

Aidan quote of the day

We are in the van. Aidan asks me to roll down a window. I said the side windows don't roll down, are you hot? He replies, "yes." I said okay, and reached to turn down the heater. Then Aidan says, "Not like sexy hot, but regular hot." LOVE THAT BOY!!

Conversation of the day with Aidan

Today I asked Aidan if he wanted to get married and have kids when grows up or stay not married. He replied, "Well, I don't want my wife to scream." I didn't know if i wanted to hear the answer to my next question but I asked anyway. "Why would your wife scream?". Well, he said, "When wives have babies they have to scream." Sounds logical to me--LOL
