You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

I’m the tallest? really?

13 November, 2012 /

We took my 70 year old mom bowling for her birthday. She had a blast!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd.

I think I am taller than everyone else in my family.

Mom’s birthday was awesome. I won the second game. I am the least competitive person in the whole world, except when it comes to bowling with Paul…all the sudden I am yelling, “IN YOUR FACE PAULY WOG!”

I don’t like that side of myself. I like the clapping and encouraging others to do better if they are struggling. KID YOU NOT, I laughed in the most evil tone when Paul got a gutterball.

Good thing Paul loves me. I would have beat the shit out of me in the parking lot.
