Random Thoughts....and such

I'm almost convinced that an intervention is emminent between Amy and her addiction to brownies. That is along with her addictions to Starbucks, comfy sweaters, tivo, bossy-ness and other nameless indulgences!!! Nevermind, we'll just keep Amy the way she is! PRACTICALLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!!
Besides, I would hate to see the economic depreciation if Amy did not support all of these endevours! The mind reels at the thought! The dollar would certainly lose value, stocks might dive, we would all lose our investments, the lions in Finland would migrate to Russia, birds with large talons would invade America.......AAAAAAHHHHHH!
Amy, quick - go buy another latte!!
Whew! That was exhausting! I never realized the responsibility that Amy carries on her shoulders each day. KUDOS, Amy! KUDOS!

Moving on............. Rob, we miss your crazy antics on this blog! Have you abandoned ship??

Christmas is right around the corner (collective sigh), and sometimes the festive spirit can be so overwhelming as to make you do such things like putting up your Christmas Tree in early November. (Enter Deb!!). That's right. Mom has been taken. The tree is up. The house is decorated. The fireplace is ablaze - because dad believes if its November, there should be a fire. (His is the only house where you will find a fire going, with every window and door open at the same time!) Its classic!
When I called mom yesterday she was a bit winded when she answered. Before either of us said a word my imagination played a scene of what might have taken place just before the phone rang..........
There was Deb, surrounded by trinkets, lights, pine needles and the vocal stylings of Robert Goulet's Christmas album blasting over the stereo! 'Home For the Holidays' begins to play, and mom cannot deny her urge to celebrate with a Christmas dance! As she prances around, she tosses ornaments on the tree while singing as loud as she can, with enthusiastic agreement, in hopes her kids will here her plea 'IF YOU WANNA BE HAPPY IN A MILLION WAYS, FOR THE HOLIDAYS YOU CAN'T BEAT HOME SWEET HOME'! Her performance was so convincing that I thought she actually had 'met a man from Tennesse who was headed for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie'!
Then I called and ruined the whole thing! Sorry mama! You sing your Christmas songs and decorate your Christmas tree............CAUSE WE'LL ALL BE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!!
As it turns out, mom just tripped over her gown on the way to the phone and lost her breathe a little.
I like my story better!!
