I'm Regular
I'm quite proud of myself. After a less-than-stellar beginning to 2009, I have been darn good at blogging three times a week lately. And what with my pending unemployment, it can only get better, right?
Even my Mom has noticed the change. And it's nice to get an email from her that isn't all, "Your lack of blogging is ruining my life!"
When I was little, I seriously suspected that she and my father procreated for the sole purpose of having little slaves to order around. Because, you know, we were oh-so obedient. Number of Old Styles fetched from the downstairs fridge circa 1975 to 1988: 1,375,002.
Lately, I've started to suspect that she had three daughters in the hopes that at least one of them would be able to keep her entertained in her golden years. And I am. That Daugther.
Anyhoo, here is Mom's email:
I am SO glad you are back to blogging regularly. It brightens my day (when it doesn't cause me to gasp). But you're pretty and I still love you. Love, Mommie Dearest
This woman slays me! I swear to God! I laughed embarassingly loud at work the first time I read it.
Now, is it just me, or is there some hidden subtext in this email? Something along the lines of, "Your blogging makes life worth living, and since you will soon be jobless, I will pay you to blog every day."
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
