My poor ST friend was dreading Mother's Day, because she was taking her difficult and Alzy mother out to eat. sigh.

My friend said the nicest thing, in her mother's day wishes: You're a good mother. Your children love you, respect you and like you. That is a heady combination and says something very positive about you.

I know it's rude to toot my own horn, but that was just such a beautiful thing to say!

MLette worked and so far nobody did anything for me for Mother's Day! I will have to plan somethng next year! Mr ML Jr keeps asking periodically if I want to do something. sigh So far, all I've done is box up 2 cartons of VCR tapes (emptied a bureau they were in) and took a long nap. Mr ML is watching 'Notting Hill' on TV for the umpteenth time - almost as bad as me with Twilight.

Sorry about the lying cheating florist, Wen. My friend wired me flowers once, and I never got them either! I think they delivered them to the wrong house and the people just kept them.

That's terrible they put you through so much aggravation, just trying to send some flowers to the funeral.

A guy Clinton at the ST party showed some funny ST videos - he said he'd put one on YouTube and it had 50,000 hits already (Red Shirts dying) - he had 3 of them. I think it's under comedy4cast.

While cleaning out the VCR tapes, I came across the Star Trek movie parody play that I had a little part in, in 1989, at a Star Trek convention, and watched it. I was surprised it still played after 20 years. I made the most awesome costume for it too, if I do say so myself.

It was a parody of Star Trek III and pretty funny. It was all a long time ago and I don't remember very much about all the interesting stuff I did, which is too bad. sigh.

Oh well, MLette should be home in a couple of hours and then maybe Mother's Day will get started! Mr ML mowed the lawn and is going out to play basketball so he'll be gone. sigh. Kind of a weird Mother's Day this year, so far....

It got better (and also worse)! Mr ML Jr and I tried this new bakery I saw advertised on a local food show this morning (Phantom Gourmet) and he bought some fabu cake and pastries ($) for later. :> We ordered Chinese takeout for dinner and then had the fancy cake for dessert later. And there were cards and gifts - got a beautiful purple t-shirt and purple necklace from MLette and a nice gift card to Kohl's from Mr ML Jr, so I can get some summer clothes. She has such nice taste and knows what I like. Such nice kids!

Except I wrenched my back somehow (probably lugging boxes of videotapes etc and cleaning). Oh, MLette weeded through the videos with me some more - we have a big bag of old bad videos to get rid of - exercise videos I never did, etc

- and sad to say, I boxed up my Roswell tapes too, and my Moonlight tapes, and my tapes with Kyle Schmid on them too. Didn't get rid of them, but put them in a box. sigh.

Glad we did some weeding - Also swooped the mess off the kitchen table into a box, and then started going through the box and tossing stuff (March, April, May stuff - sigh). I just cannot keep up with the stuff that comes in and piles up on the kitchen table.

Don't win any prizes for housekeeping, I'm afraid! We could clean like that all day, every day and this place would never be sorted out.

Plus the spring allergies hit today and I sneezed and sneezed and sneezed this morning (oak tree pollen I think). Allergies. Koff.

Oh and the dog rolled in some goose poop and stank like garbage and needed a bath, but because I hurt my back, MLette and Mr ML did it, because I couldn't bend over the tub, wrestle with the dog (besides it was his fault/dog was with him when it rolled in muck). Put a new summer collar on him too, my friend had sent as a gift - sort of like a Hawaiian shirt design. Funny - it's not really 'him' but I figured I'd wash his old collar, since he was all clean. We only bathe him very rarely, when he gets into something gross.

Plus - Mr ML went to play basketball - and got his tooth knocked out!

He was so upset - it was a fake tooth already but it's going to be $ getting it replaced, plus he's so mortified to have his front tooth missing and look like a hayseed from the hills. Poor Mr ML - not a good day for either of us.

But he already had a dentist appointment for Tuesday so he'll go see them soon. sigh. Always something!
