Today is the day that celebrates the birth of my mother, 28 years ago (again). She's already having a horrible day. Seems as though there was an electrical outlet problem already, which affected (or effected, I never know the difference) the internet connection. It always pisses her off when the internet connection gets jacked up because I think she may like chatting online with me. Weird right? And she's having typing difficulties today due to a band aid on her finger (I didn't even ask). Poor lady sent me a sad face with a tear and she's only been awake for a couple hours on her birthday. Well, I have a surprise in store for her.


I'm sending my dear cousin to get her some flowers and deliver them for me. It should look like this. Actually, I hope it looks nothing like that. That may be one of the creepiest things I have ever seen. Leave it up to the internet and Google. Due to the time difference, I probably won't get to be awake when Sammy picks out and delivers the flowers, but I'm sure it will all be amazing. I just hope that she doesn't cry. Well, I guess since I don't have to be there, Sammy will have to deal with it. I don't deal well with people crying.

^Me      &      Mom^

For those of you who DON'T know my mom, you're pretty much missing out. She's pretty much awesome. She and I, of course, didn't always get along, because who can really be friends with their teenage rebel daughter? I was pretty close to driving her crazy I'm sure. She is most definitely one of my best friends. We have arguments and all that once in awhile, of course, but we are both pretty laid back and we thoroughly enjoy each other's company. I'm not a big secret keeper, but my mom knows probably 98% of my business. She's pretty accepting like that.

Nick, Tonka, & Jealous Tate :)

And besides the fact that, while I'm here, she's at home, holdin down the fort. Taking care of Nick, who we all know can be a handful. She's also taking care of Tate and Tonka (the dogs), Ray and Haley (the cats), and Buster, Brutus, Shiniqua, Shasta, Barbie, Flampo, and Picachu (the fish). Ok, The fish don't have names, but if they did, I'm pretty sure those would be their names. Plus, I think there are more than that anyway. I'll have to name them all when I get back. Remind me. ANYWAY, yeah, Mom's at home, takin care of all the important stuff, while I sit here on vacation at my beach resort. Minus the beach. And minus the resort.

So, as I was writing a long awaited reply letter to Colie, I came to the conclusion that I REALLY wish I had a quarter for every time I heard someone say any rendition of the phrase "Learn something new everyday". I would be effing RICH. That being said, I'm off to bed. I have another eventful day tomorrow, and I have a lot of catching up to do on my beauty sleep. rawr.
