So Mom and I had a pleasant morning. We hysterically laughcried the whole ride from the airport to home. As soon as we walked through the door, we hugged Nora and Sofia and laughcried some more. And while she showered, I made us scrambled omelets. Chocolate chip pancakes. And stirred … Continue reading
Things got a little rough these past couple of days. Just when life seems to be right on track, certain choices can steer it in a different direction. In fact my life seems to have taken a 180, heading the opposite way of where I was going. But I don’t … Continue reading
So Mom leaves for her conference in California tomorrow morning. Like many of you have suggested, there was something I really thought I should show her before she left on her trip. Remember this folder with the slides of Mom, Grandma & Grandpa inside? I wanted Mom to see this so … Continue reading
I asked Mom to meet me for pizza after class today, and she was happy to. It’s a favorite place of ours. And as Megan Tweeted, no one had to do dishes! (Always a plus in my book.) Anyway, for a while now, I’ve been agonizing over the best way … Continue reading
