Have I ever told you guys that I love you??? Well, I do!! (No, I’m not drunk! Geez… Can’t a girl just show her loyal blog readers some luuuv?) Thanks for the wonderful birthday wishes!!
Sorry for those of you who didn’t get to play “Which one’s false?”, but I had to post the answers before my mom got here. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to blog in private during her visit. Luckily, the two-hour time difference meant she was out like a light by 9pm, giving me enough time to take a peek at my blog while I wait for Mr. T to come home (he e-mailed his schedule this time! The man is learning… ) Kudos to 2×4 for aceing the test, although you DID call me a liar!! But you’re a good blogger so I forgive you. 🙂
Things that make you go “hmmm”: Today I called the Mexican Donald Trump (MDT), the dude who called me last week about the great job/project (I Googled him and found out he’s some kind of magnate of Mexican land development). He had asked me to call this week to set up an appointment to discuss my involvement, but when I contacted him this afternoon he said: “We’re putting together the master plan right now and I’ll e-mail it to you in a couple of days to get your thoughts on where we’re placing everything.”
Um… That’s great and all, but how’s about you show me the money first, Trumpy? We haven’t talked about my participation in this project yet (and by participation I mean “cut”, “rate”, “moola”, etc.), so if he thinks I should be flattered to have the opportunity to share my hard-earned knowledge with him for free, he’s barking up the wrong wedding planner. The “S” on my forehead stands for “Sexy”, not “Stupid”. 😉 Stay tuned…
On another note, I must say: I LOVE MY MOMMA!! We haven’t stopped gabbing since she got off the plane! How is it that two women who just five years ago couldn’t stand each other can now be such good friends??? Well, for one, I think she finally realized it’s my life and she can’t tell me how to live it, while it dawned on me that maybe after 33 years of marriage she knew a thing or two about life. And also, we realized that we’re both a product of extremely different childhoods, cultures, and generations, so we couldn’t expect to react similarly to situations in our life. Whatever the case, I am thrilled that we are now such good friends. Woooohoooo!!!
All right, one more hour until Mr. T gets home, thank goodness for Blogroll… You’re getting sleeeeeeepy…

I had that kind of reaction to my parents around age 22. I came home from college, got a job, got an apartment, wasn’t dating, and started going out to eat with my folks or over to their house once a week or so, sans siblings. I found that I actually LIKED them. We talked about all sorts of things like normal adults. Weird.
Now that we’re 3000 miles apart I miss them more than anyone else.

Oh… and happy birthday, we love you too, and I meant the liar thing as a compliment.

isn’t it great when you can be close like that with your mom? this growing up business isn’t that bad. 🙂
happy birthday!

My Mom and I have always been close…it’s just recently that my Dad and I have become close….he was never one much for kids but we get along MUCH better now that I’m (almost) all grown up! 😉
Glad to hear you and your Mom are getting along so well! 🙂

Same things happened to me when my mom mellowed out and I matured.
Ahhh, life!
February 27, 2007 at 7:34 pm
Ahhh! Yo quiero the new header pic! Ayy-yay-yay-yaaay! Tell MDT to show you the money, baby!

Happy Belated birthday, my friend! So glad you are enjoying a nice visit with your mom. It almost makes the young adult angst worth it, huh?

Happy belated birtday! I know whatcha mean about the blogroll. The other day as I was cruising on down it, I realized that not having done so for a while (trip, illness) was part of the reason I was feeling sort of…off! So many cool viewpoints, observations and attitudes to check out and share.
Glad you’re enjoying your Mama. I love when Mom comes over.

Happy birthday!
Totally not raining on your project excitement, but remember: Mr. Trump holds all the cards. Don’t think of it as giving away your knowledge for free, but as a final job interview. Get with him, share your ideas, show that you and only you are perfect for running the project. If you are guarding your secrets while talking with him, you will appear guarded and that may not be the vibe you want to give off.
Congratulations. Knock his socks off and whatever rate you were planning to ask for, add 25 percent.
