2. I must print a retraction. In my story, “Alas, A Tween Missyism,” I wrote that my mom said something, “in her high pitch shrill.” I did not do justice in describing the situation. My mom does not have a “high pitch shrill.” On that fateful New Year’s Eve Day in what seems like a million years ago, my Mom, astonished by my lack of action, merely exclaimed that I get a towel and clean up the mess. The way I described the situation made it sound like my mom flew off the handle…that was actually not the case…she was more flabbergasted (and slightly amused) that I did not clean up the mess and instead, painted my nails.
3. My mom has no recollection of the above event...at all! That is too funny!
4. I am not going to make it a habit of printing retractions. I do it for my mom, who I hold in the highest of esteem...and in lieu of Mother's Day!
4. One of the best things that happened to me this weekend: these new Sex-and-the-City-FABULOUS shoes…that were 80% off the retail price! Oh Yea!
5. Irony (or luck): The result of me attempting to organize this weekend was that I found my two ice/heating pads (they can be put in the freezer or in the micorwave); so, while I gave myself whiplash by letting a box fall on my head...I was also able to give myself relief!
Could you please wipe that look of horror off your face! :0
Yes, we've now lived in the house for 8 months.
Yes, I'm still unpacking boxes!
It gets even better, though...
...some of the boxes that I unpacked...were boxes from when I lived in my apartment...
...boxes that never got unpacked at my last house, the duplex! (Boxes that have been pakced for 5 years!)
OH FOR SHAME! :0
I wonder what other treasures I'll find???!!! Getting whiplash sure isn't giving me any incentive to find out!
well missy,
ReplyDeletenot very suprised that something like a box fallin on your head acctually happened to u. O and dont feel to lazy bout the whole not unpacked thing cuz we r movin back to florida in june and we still havent unpacked a bunch of boxes!!
I love the line on "The Incredibles" where she calls her husband to tell him they've 'officially' moved in. He says, "What? We've lived here three years..."
ReplyDeleteShe says, I know... but I just unpacked the last box!!
Happens to all of us. (And shhh... but I still have a box packed since 96! It has little cherubs in it... and I just can't throw them away!)
sigh....
Unpacked boxes are just a sign that you lead a fun, busy life!! Or that you are overworked, or both!!! So I hope you always have a few unpacked boxes (but not because you are overworked!)!
