I sorely miss him when he spends the night at Grandma's house.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-40497343914470043002012-09-12T21:30:49.609-05:002012-09-12T21:30:49.609-05:00Oh yeah...Aqua Net!

I really need to keep better records.<br /><br />************<br />Sioux,<br />My phone, which you must assume to be a toilet-seat-shaped Jitterbug, is quite sophisticated. It can receive emails while I am driving to school, and emit a tiny BLIP from its perch inside the outer pocket of my purse. A miniscule green light flashes when I have a new email or text or message. It's a regular Memo Minder like the one designed by Tom Cruise as Joel Goodson when he joined the Future Enterprisers in Risky Business.<br /><br />After backing into my parking spot way down two from the end, I check to see if that green light is flashing. If so, I take a quick peek at my emails before turning off the phone to go inside. An act hampered by the fact that The Pony has already carried in my school bag that contains my bifocals.<br /><br />Go ahead and call me to the stand, Ms. Prosecutor. I've got it covered.<br /><br />*************<br />Donna,<br />I LOVE science. Love it more than jumping through the hoops set in front of me by the state of Missouri. It seems like they only want the kids to learn the uninteresting things. We are so deeply ensconced in the inner workings of the cell and its phospholipid bilayer that we don't have time to delve deeply into the workings of the body systems. You know, stuff that might actually be useful later in life.<br /><br />Thank you. My goal is to better my 89th place finish from last year. I will be heartbroken if I don't make the top 100.<br /><br />**************<br />Becky,<br />If you ever saw my hair, you would realize that hairspray was not involved. My mom, however, never left the house without Aqua Net. It was like a bug bomb for children. We could not enter her bathroom for fear of asphyxiation.

Her mom sat in the passenger seat and there were three of us girls in the back seat. That woman always sprayed so much hair spray, it didn't just land on HER, but the fall-out landed in the back, on top of us. There was always much coughing and choking, but she didn't seem to notice, or care. Hmmmm.....maybe that explains a lot of things!

You were driving, correct? Were you reading your emails on your phone while driving? I imagine you were also putting on mascara, eating a scrambled egg sandwich, styling your hair, putting in earrings, reading some memos, and drinking a 44-oz. diet Coke--all done simultaneously while you're reading your email.<br /><br />So, you're one of THOSE, are ya...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-40049502117273184352012-09-11T20:58:03.597-05:002012-09-11T20:58:03.597-05:00Glad you entered the right contest.Glad you entered the right contest.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.com
