I like how I feel right now. Like life is going really good. But really, there isn’t a lot going on.
Tonight I need to talk to my mom, since I haven’t talked to her since Thanksgiving. The time difference really mucks things up. I called my parents and they were getting ready to have dinner. Then they called while we were watching a movie, which was ok, because we have a pause button. In fact, the movie was already paused because Dan’s dad called right beforehand.
Friday, I talked to my mom again, once because she and my aunt were out shopping at 6:30 a.m. and also because of a AOL/Vista problem my aunt was having with her computer. I think it was a rare time where Dan didn’t have the answer, because we don’t use Vista and AOL sucks. For some reason, I think we talked once more.
But I haven’t talked to my mom for a few days, and tonight I need to call again. The thing is, I never really know what to say, because nothing is really going on. I mean, Dan and I play World of Warcraft instead of watching TV, but that’s of no interest to my parents, so I can’t really talk about that. Then again, I can’t discuss Desparate Housewives with my mom, because I don’t watch the show. (Well, I can read about it on TV.com and usually can hold my own.)
Then, there is the weather. Well, it’s cold. Brrrr! But it still hasn’t snowed.
Then there is Christmas. But it is still 26 days away. Plenty of time there. Though, I do need to give her some Christmas ideas for Dan. (Mom, before I forget, he mentioned a Peet’s Coffee Gift Set. And he likes extra bold, no flavors. I send you the book, movie, DVD list.)
Then we talk about how Calem is doing. And his social calendar. Which is very heavy for a two year old.
Other than that, it’s the daily routine. Work, play, eat. Work, play, eat. And the stuff you don’t talk to your parents about.
Yet, conversations still tend to last over an hour. Because when my mom and I have nothing to catch up on, we really make sure there is nothing to catch up on!
I talked to mine yesterday. she called me. Man, she is such a nag…
I knew I shouldn’t have given her my phone number.
Yup thats my mom, she is so lonely she will keep me on the phone when we have run out of stuff to say. Sometimes its ok, other times it drives me batty
I hate the obligatory phone calls. I always want to call my mom when I have something to tell her. But if I don’t have anything for a couple days she calls me all upset that I have not called. And then the conversation stalls because I have absolutely nothing to say to her.
Gotta love moms!
My dad has the uncanny knack of calling at the most inopportune times and then gets all upset when he never gets me on the phone and has to leave a voicemail. But he always calls right as I am getting ready for work, right when I get to work, or right before I go on the air. It gets frustrating.
Dick Small - Maybe you would like to talk to my mom?
Mel - My mom and I usually end up finding stuff to talk about. If one of us has to go, we say so, then spend 15 minutes saying good-bye.
VP - My dad gets upset if I don’t say hi to him when I call, so I make a point to do that. My mom will call sometimes because she hasn’t heard from me for a while. I think it’s a mom thing.
