Ditto here. Same grey, and a touch of the personal drearies too, as I am still procrastinating cleaning the cellar---actually avoiding walking down there to even get something out of the freezer for dinner for fear I will be stuck there forever. Dad not feeling good; he is upstairs watching the girl's play basketball. I have been puttering around, washed the wool socks by hand, folded some clothes, read newspaper, and talked to Chris and Barb, both of whom called this morning for a long chat. Now I need to find 2 photos that will be ok to send as sympathy cards to Ted and Joan, since J lost her sister Peggy. All I have handy are the sex- crazed pepper shots, which would hardly do ( for any occasion, it seems). So I have to do a lot of looking in back files...
Your birthday is coming up in a week. You haven't opened that present I sent back with you, have you? Did you get the package with the knitting patterns in it yet?
Of course tomorrow will be better. And I'll bet the rest of today still has some good surprises in it, too. Try a smile on, and fool your face. Then when something funny comes along, you'll be ready.
Love, mom
ps. Ron, Tucker and Jack are all very funny. Bet you'll laugh before the day is out!
Dear mom, The pepper shots will be good for valentine's day. Yesterday we looked at two stores for a couple commercial cards that I need to send out, and good god, there is NOTHING. pbthtbh. Of course I have not opened my birthday present. Hello? Do you remember which child you're talking to? Although one night Jack decided he wanted to help unwrap, so one corner of the present is a little raggedy. Ron opened the patterns that came in the mail yesterday (I was driving) and he said it said to not open til my birthday. So I didn't. See? I am saving things up even when I suppose I didn't need to.
Am listening to Barack Obama and John McCain on Face the Nation, talking about the surge into Iraq. Still think Barack sounds the most sensible. The scare tactics used ( if we don't surge, all hell will break loose) is logically countered with his statements of how we are already in hell over there, (my paraphrasing) which is exactly the point...
Why even look for commercial cards when all your photos, slipped into card stock, would be so much better than any you could find? I like the thought of people holding small fine art in their hands, and with the addition of words, getting a good feeling from the total experience.
The knitting patterns you can use right away... it was the card inside the mailed envelope that I didn't want you to open till your birthday. There was also an explanation that was supposed to go with that card, but darned if I remembered to put it in when I was getting everything ready to mail... so that will come later, or I can just tell you after your birthday...
And I have a perfect pepper shot for valentine's day, already picked out. Too bad there isn't a national sex day, I'd have enough for the next 20 years.
