Mom: *placing a bundle of golden curly sticks on the mantle over the fireplace*
Me: Oh, that’s pretty. (It really is…you’d just have to see it)
Mom: Yes, it’s the golden fireplace fagot.

Thursday, November 28th, 2002Me: Holding a silver vase in my hands
Mom: Jennifer! Don’t drop that!!
Me: Um, I’m like almost 22 years old. It’s probable that I’ve learned to hold items of great worth in my hands without damaging them.
Mom: But you are as rambunctious as Satan.
poor jon.
Wednesday, November 27th, 2002Poor Jon. He just IMed me from his phone while vacationing in TN. It’s snowing, he’s lonely and he invited me to come up. I’m sure I could just hop in my car and drive up there, right? *sigh* Hurry up and come home Jon!
broken heart.
Saturday, November 2nd, 2002My mom came home from shopping this afternoon with two surprises. She bought me a new dress and she won me a fish. Her school was having a Fall Festival today and she dropped by to say hello to the kids. They pressured her into playing some of the games and after bouncing a tennis ball through a little round hole…she won a fish!
So, she hands me this cute little goldfish and says, “This is for you.” My fish and I snuggled for a few seconds and then I placed him in my bedroom. I was planning on going to Wal-Mart this evening to buy him some food.
Then, my mom broke my heart. I overheard her mention to dad that her kids really want a class pet and she’s thinking about taking my fish away from me. We have already bonded!
thanks for your prayers.
