I am writing for myself and strangers. This is the only way that I can do it... Gertrude Stein

Just another Manic Monday

This morning, I check my voice mail after leaving the cell phone to charge overnight in the mini-van and I have one message. This is the voice message that strikes fear into the hearts of bloggers.

"Hi, Jen, I just called to talk to you about your blog."

It is from? My mother.

I call later, and my dad answers. "Hi, I am just returning Mom's call about my blog."

"Yeah, did you get married and not tell us?"

All because I used the term sister-in-law. So, I take it back. Partner's sister.

No, we did not get married and not tell anybody.

But, feel free to send gifts anyway.
