Every Mom Has Her Day
Hey There!
Well, another week, another blog.
I hope you all are still all right from last week. I hope this flu isn't getting any of you down. And speaking of "the flu", it turns out that this latest bug that's among us, didn't come from a pig after all. It's real name is "H1N1". To make it a little more easy to remember, just think of it as an acronym for "hog (one) not! (one)", because this particular strain did not come exclusively from the pig. It also could possibly have come from birds (like that infamous bird flu from a couple of years back), and even people. So, you can all rest easy when eating that bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich and that slice of Spam with your morning eggs and toast, but be sure to wash your hands constantly and take a small bottle of Purell with you.
It's Mother's Day today, and it's time for all of us to give the most important woman in all of our lives, her just dues. After all, as someone once said (me), "A mother is like a mouth. Everyone has one." Ah, yes. Mother's Day is one of those rare occasions of the year when all the florists and candy makers and greeting card manufacturers do their very best business (Christmas, Valentines Day, and Easter are the other holidays). For my and my brother's one and only, I'm the one whose preparing this evening's repast. Yeah. As it turns out, I do know a thing or two about cooking, having hung around my mother as she cooks in the kitchen. Even though she has her own business and works very hard five days a week, she is an exceptional cook, as I hope to be one day when I grow up. I'm getting there, although I have to constantly watch and pay attention to what I cook and don't forget about it. I have a tendency to burn what I cook if I don't carefully watch over it (a good example of how cooking and DVD watching don't mix). I'm paying close attention to tonight's dinner so it won't burn. However, if the unthinkable happens and it does burn, it also helps to know the phone number of the nearest pizza delivery service.
Until next time, be well, and stay well!
Sincerely,
Marley Sue
