my mother is my minion
No song quote today. My title is true. My mother has become my minion. Bwahahahaaa! Not only does she send home lots of home-grown and home-canned veggies and soup bases, she sends frozen homemade bread. *rubs tummy* Also, she supports my sewing dreams and does all she can to acquire what I need. *more evil laughing* You get the picture.
In other news, today was definitely a MONDAY. Wow. I was flying by the seat of my pants all day. I went in to work after noon, and stayed late. My sister was visiting so that is the main reason for my tardiness. It is a long story, but it involves staying up into the late night hours last night and then legally breaking and entering with a big pair of bolt-cutters. Hee hee!
I got two letters from relatives in the mail today. I am so happy! It took *counts in head* almost 7 years from the year I sent out my first Christmas cards and letters for people to start sending Christmas cards and actually writing back. *is shocked--but pleased* Today, I got a letter from one of my mother's sisters. Her daughter is graduating college this coming year and has already interned with a marine biologist. Wow. I can't believe my
younger cousin is graduating and already started on such a cool career! I am very happy for her and am disappointed I haven't seen her since *thinks back to the last big funeral*...well, since she was 10. Wow. I bet she's totally kick ass now.
I also got a letter and a job ad from my uncle in Wyoming. Apparently there is a job I normally would be interested in (were in not in Wyoming) open. How cool is that? My uncle rocks! He's my favorite uncle too because he gave me an Apache Tear at one of my other uncle's weddings when I was a young kid. He gave it to me because I am his favorite niece (I think it's because we have the same red hair). Though I must say that I am sort of concerned about the last line of his letter. "Congrats on a great life!" Ok.....*is kinda weirded out*
Anyhow--I really feel like my mother now. I am amazed I haven't started talking about relative's ailments and treatments. *sighs* I wish I had something interesting to say. Other than that I had a great dream about Johnny Depp the other day (steamy!). Ciao!
