Geez Mom no wonder you sent your daughter running away. Holy meddling, Batman. Pass me a couple of those cookies.
KFG (from overnight) that was a good one. :-D I went to bed after 3:30 a.m. when Aaron’s squad got back to the station. Yawn. I’m not ready for prime time yet. Later . . .

OK, look at Cathy’s hair! It’s brown, isn’t it.? Normal. Now how do we tell the cartoon colorist to stop with the orange hair in the dailies? It just doesn’t seem like the real Cathy I’ve always known and loved (but never copied) with her hair in that odd color during the week.

Ugh, thank goodness my mother was never that bad. And out of my sister and I, she had to definitely wonder about me. LOL!!And there’s never an end to the questions… It starts out with “when will you get a boyfriend?”, then when you have a boyfriend, it’s “when will you get married?”, then it’s “when will you have a baby?”, then it’s "when will you have another baby?, and so on. Good morning, Susan, NotSillyBilly, summerdog and the rest of the morning crew! We got Girl Scout cookies yesterday, so I’m munching on those. Thin Mints… mmmm….Hello to SillyAaron, GsMom (tomorrow), KFG, gmforde, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!I’m off to a baby shower in about an hour, Lord help me. This is where I am not very girly because it’s so not my “thing” to gush over babies. I’m in a skirt though, so that’s momentous.Have a good Sunday and stay warm! It’s below freezing here. Brrrr!

But she’s not meddling—she’s just interested in her daughter’s life.
OK, fine—she’s meddling. lol.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Mom’s not meddling (yet), just being her usual nosy self ! Moms generally have their kid’s best interest at heart, even when they have strange ways of showing it. Love the appropriate eye roll. :-)

LOL….Mom is REALLY nosy, isn’t she??OK for those of you following my recent comments on my Aptitude exam…here’s the latest….2 docs (who don’t really know me) thought I cheated on the exam, because they don’t believe that a woman as young as me would know the answers to the questions…….like I’ve said before (and I’m not bragging, though it might seem like I am) I’m really smart, can’t help it…….blame my parents for being professors (dad- science, mom-english)…anyway the 2 docs are now looking into my school files from Yale……and are in the process of asking the 3 doctors that were in the room where I took the exam a bunch of questions….I do know that one of the mean docs is envious/jealous because his son took 5 years to complete med school, whereas it only took me 3 years………anyway that’s the latest…….sorry, but I had to vent………back to work in the ER tomorrow…….Evening Lightenup, Aaron, Dr. Billy, lindzcoop, Susan, Gretch’s ma, Viper guy, gmforde and the rest of the wonderful/crazy Cathy nuts :)
