Hello from Madison. This is Deb. Your mother is trying to teach me how to post on a blog. A skill I have yet to develop.
Our two guys are at the Badger Hockey game with Cate & Nate. Cate got the tickets for her Dad for Christmas & then called Ron to see if he would come for the game. That leaves your Mom & I sitting here with the "Classic Country Music" channel on & having a few libations. We have yet to hit the "crying in our beer" stage so might as well take this opportunity to give you a hard time. I do so love to tease you.
I just read your "26 Things About Me" blog. I received Meg's "31 Things" a couple of days ago. I think you both did a great job but you need to get a bit more honest with me!! Way to nice. Come on, there has to be some deep, dark aspects to the two of you that you did not fess up to. I believe Gretchen that you forgot to mention almost laying me out up at the cabin with that well placed punch to the solarplexus.
And Miss Meg, now let me see, what secret do I know about her?? So many to choose from, which should it be? That great swimmer who actually had to be dragged to swim practice in Biloxi, kicking & screaming. Who knew she would end up being the Swim Captain at Valpo. Wow, I am really having to stretch when I depend on your Mom to give me secrets!
Oh, wait, Gretchen, you forgot to tell everyone how much you "LOVED" your new baby brother when he came along. I do believe I watched you sneak around his highchair in Biloxi, only to give him a well placed pinch. The best part was the look of total innocence on you face when I asked you why you did that. Your reply was "What? I didn't do anything." Of course Mr. Mike was so busy stuffing oatmeal in his face. I think he was more angry about having to pause in his eating to scream. I still laugh about the picture he made in that high chair. He had his spoon clutched in one hand & was using the other hand to scoop the oatmeal in his mouth. What a pair you two were.
You both forgot to mention your life aspirations when you were children. You, if I remember correctly, were going to have 27 children. Of course you had no desire to have a husband, just children. When asked how you were going to take care of so many children, your response was, "I am going to live at home and my Mom will help me." Meg was going to be a nurse, just like her Mom. So my question to you is this, Meg actually followed through. Are you still going for the 27? I will have to say, you did quite well on the husband end. Josh seems like a pretty good guy. Not sure if he can handle 27 little people but I am sure he can handle a few.
So now that I have teased you enough I need to let you know, you keep sending me the wrong e-mail address. I sent you all of Bill's & my contact info for your resume & it keeps coming back as "undeliverable". Let me know if you still want it. We would both be happy to be contacted.
Now, I am going back to drinking more beer & doing less blogging. In fact, maybe blogging & drinking beer don't mix. One more item. Go back to your blog on the "Things About Me". I have just one very small correction. On your condiments comment you said you eat them in "access". Now Gretch, I do believe you meant.....Excess.
