I found out that I’m not a greedy, materialistic person & that, although having money would be nice, I really don’t give too much of a rat’s ass about it when it all comes down to what’s important.
I think we all have a knack for fooling ourselves so, although I’ve always felt that this was true, I don’t think anyone honestly knows what they’d do or how they’d react in a given situation until they are actually in the situation.
The details aren’t important. Let’s just say that the trip to the elder care lawyer today was both enlightening and discouraging. And that if we were different, we’d probably have come away from the meeting feeling quite happy with the possibilities offered to us. But we’re not so… oh, well.
The good news is we did get to Cozymel’s for an early dinner. We took Mel (Frank’s sister) to Cozymel. Good Mexican food & beer always make things look good.
In other news, I had what I consider a highly amusing conversation with my daughter yesterday. Last night was when she’d get to find out who her Little was (sorority stuff) so she was out with one of her friends buying stuff for the big night and talking to me on her cellphone while shopping. She’s telling me about this guy and her friend is overhearing our conversation.
I hear an incredulous voice in the background saying, “Are you talking to your mother??” Theresa says yes. Then I hear, “That is so inappropriate!”
What? You mean not all nearly 20 year old daughters tell their mothers about guys they think are hot?
Well, daughters who are lucky enough to have a Monkling as a mother do!
I am so with you on the money/material things. But I will say this, and I know it for sure. The more I have, the more all of the people who are around me and who I love will have. If I have it, I want to share so my peeps have it, too. But, really, the bottom line always is, it’s not about what or how much we have, but who we have that is most important.
HA! I guessed right—I guessed you were at Cozymel’s. And now, I have to say it; I just have to say it– Frank’s sister, Mel? Was Mel Cozy? You know, at COZYMEL’S? C’mon, laugh. You know you wanna….
Yay, beer!
Yes, I believe I am one of those rare people who is willing to listen and not think you a moron for disagreeing with me. That said, I do not believe that that ability and idiots being funny are mutually exclusive. I find myself quite hilarious to be honest.
Kim, I think Mel was quite cozy at Cozymel’s. And I keep waiting to hit the lottery so I can share all that money. I have come to the conclusion that only rich people win.
Katie, Morons are actually extremely funny – when they’re not annoying the crap out of you. But I do think we are WAY funnier than any idiot can ever be.
My DD is the same way. Her friends think its funny that we discuss boys. We also discuss who is doing what with who among their friends…Enquiring minds want to know.
