MOM ALWAYS EMBARRASSES US IN PUBLIC!

Every April Mom's BFF comes up to Bellingham for one reason:
To embarrass us. They say it's to celebrate their birthdays
what boldfaced liars they are, both of 'em! Because they only get 
together, go to whichever cafe mom is healthy enough to
travel to, either the one towards Mt. Baker or this one here at
Village Books (mom sat at tonight) and they do one thing:
ACT CRAZY! Susan is from New Jersey. Mom has no excuse.
We know it is impending.
We have no means of preventing the debacle.
We can only warn you it is never pretty and will
NOT be photographed this year as it only eggs them on
(although they really were only trying to get Susan's husband
to lose it, crack up, and fall down laughing because he is a 
Very Serious Person.)


Meanwhile, we are focusing on the OLYMPIGS and will not
lose our priorities unless they come over here afterwards
and keep acting all kooky...highly likely because
Susan ALWAYS cleans mom's kitchen while she's here:
locked,  loaded, and a-CAFFEINATED, BOO-YA!
Love you,
the OlympiGz


{THIS PIC from last year's celebration. 
With hair. This year...mmmm, not so much.
BUT YESTERDAY got ears pierced
with sparkly, twinkly, studded purply thingies! 
Looks like a Spring Makeover in the OFFING!}
