Getting older...

I've had kind of a roller coaster week with emotions, so I'm not going to get into all that. But, I definitely want to get into the topic of getting older. That's the theme for this week. The thing that's made me laugh the most. 2 stories. Short update, but totally worth it.










Story 1: The dreaded letter...
This is am email that I received from my dad this past week...

I got some very disappointing mail over the weekend.

And I'm sure that you will also have this experience, and much sooner than you might think. I had a pretty big pile of mail after being gone for a week. As I got about halfway through it, there it was. I have heard about it, but you can never quite prepare for the shock. A personalized invitation to AARP, and at 49 yrs.

Holy cow.

On a bright note, your spouse is automatically included with full membership. So please everyone, help me welcome Liz as a full-fledged member of AARP!!

This coming from the guy that gave me a birthday card on my 21st birthday that said, [outside] "Eat healthy, exercise a lot, and take care of your body..." [inside] "...because the better you look, the better I look!"

HILARIOUS.














Story 2: Who is THAT?
Remember the story about the guy who asked me if my LITTLE BROTHER taught me how to shuffle cards (because obviously a girl has to learn it from a man)?? Well, that guy (Hugo) visited my house for the first time the other day. Here is what happened:

Hugo: I like your house.

Michelle: Thanks. Me too.

Hugo: [Looks at all the photos on the wall. Points to my best friend, Katie.] Is this your...............mom?

Michelle: [Erupts in laughter.] No!! That's my best friend!! Geez!!

Hugo: Well, I didn't know! She looks just like you!!

Michelle: Hold on. [Continues the laughter...tears start flowing...breathing is difficult. Calls Katie and puts her on speaker phone.]

Katie: Hello?

Michelle: [through bursts of air] Hey, Katie! Remember that guy that asked me if Jeff taught me how to shuffle because women can't learn that on their own?

Katie: [smiling] Yeah...

Michelle: Well, he's in my house right now for the first time. And he just said, 'Is this your......mom?'

Katie: WHAT??!! HOW OLD DOES HE THINK I AM??!!!

Michelle: [barely able to talk...translates question]

Hugo: [Stares at Michelle thinking, "Why is this gringa always laughing or yelling at me?]

Katie: IT BETTER NOT BE MORE THAN 27!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!! You know, I am finding grey hairs all over the place. I can't take this right now!!

Michelle: [continues to die laughing...stomach pains...tears all over...]

Hugo: [staring at Michelle]

Katie: I MEAN, HOW OLD DOES HE THINK I AM??!!

Michelle: [again, barely able to translate]

Hugo: 27.

Michelle: He says 27.

Katie: Well, at least he knows how to answer!! Ok. I'm over it. But I'm kind of getting irritated at you for finding this so humorous!!

Michelle: [continues with the laughter and says goodbye]


Priceless stuff here. :)

Miss ya! More updates soon!!
