Nagging works!
Peaches come back
You are quite right about Cybermom, Cherry. That email really pissed me off and I went to her little commercial enterprise website and looked at it and I wrote to her about it. I told her how I felt about the whole cybermom thing, and I found some things to criticize in her new website, which I very kindly pointed out
Unfortunately I was having trouble with my email at the time and I don't think that email ever got to its destination, so I can't say whether she just ignored me or not.
I am in the throes of sinus medication. I woke up with a big balloon head and took some meds and now I can barely type. My fingers are sort of numb and brain even number. That can't be right-- numb and number? Anyway, yesterday it rained allllllllll day, which sucked. DD and I went to the big city
to do some shopping and then to the coast for my sister's bridal shower. It was lots of fun; I only felt a tiny bit guilty for ignoring that side of my family; DD had a great time with her cousins. One is exactly the same age, another is a couple of years younger but they click really well. The rest are several years younger, so she mostly spent time with the first two.
I always feel a little bit awkward around my father's kids, especially now that he's gone, but I enjoyed the party. Especially when my oldest sister (4 years younger than me) who is sort of perfect (you know the type, thin, beautiful house, accomplished kids, interesting job, cute DH, all that) bumped into me while I sitting with a cup of coffee in my lap and I got coffee all over my nice blouse and blazer. For some reason, I found this rather funny. I don't get to see her being apologetic very often.
Then I found out something which was sort of embarrassing -- one of my sisters moved into a new house several months back and it turns out she lives down the street from good friends of mine (my cleanie dietitian friend who moved away last year)! I didn't tell her how often we'd been there in the past year -- especially the fact that we spent 2 days there at New Years!! EEK!! I guess I should have known; she must have sent me the address in a Christmas card or something, but I didn't make the connection.
See, Lush, you don't have to have anything to say. Just ramble on like I do. We like to see you even if you're boring. How's the family?
DD actually purchased a skirt yesterday -- that she liked!
That hasn't happened in years. I'm so thrilled. She can wear something besides jeans to her 8th grade awards ceremony (which is what we are pretending is a graduation).
I need to stop typing or I could apparently go on all day in this brain fog.
