She Found It!

Last year I wrote my mom a birthday post. I wrote a list of some of the great things she has taught me, and I may or may not have gotten a little emotional while writing it. That’s how I roll. In that post I alluded to my mom’s tech savviness:

Finding the link to my new blog is going to take at least another 6 months. And then finding this particular post…well, that could take years!

Well, wouldn’t you know, I received a call from my mom the other night telling me she had read my blog and by some gift from God (or WordPress) she found that particular post. Only took 15 months. She enjoyed it so much she printed off a copy, which was probably a good idea if she ever wants to read it again. Looks like I have only further cemented my status as the favorite child.

10 Things I Love About Mom!

My mom turns 70 today. Though she doesn’t look a day over 60. I don’t feel bad displaying her age because I’m pretty certain she won’t be reading this post. Not because she isn’t a good mom, but because she just figured out how to attach a picture to an email. Finding the link to my new blog is going to take at least another 6 months. And then finding this particular post…well, that could take years!

On the outside we are two very different people. But at closer glance she has influenced me more than I probably dare admit. As a tribute to my mom on her special day, I have compiled a list of things that I appreciate about her, inspire me, or simply make me laugh. So whether she reads this or not…Happy Birthday, Mom!

*Never leave for school/work without a hot breakfast, and enjoy a snack once you get home.

*Some people actually do drive under the speed limit.

*Never get into an unmade bed

*Triple checking to see if you made a mistake writing a check or if you left a light or other switch on will never change the outcome.

*The Yankees are still the best team in baseball even if the past few years have said otherwise.

*Persistence may not always result in the outcome you hoped for, but at least you can say you did all you could.

*Travel, travel, travel!

*Supporting your kids means so much more than just attending dance recitals.

*Every suit needs a pair of matching heels.

*Love can last forever.

Love you, Mom!
