My Mom is Awesome

Mom and I may have conflicts once in a while, but I'm finding that I'm in a really good place with her lately. We seem to be establishing grounds about what I can say to her and what not to say, and she's starting to learn what makes me tick. So, the communication value is really upped.

Plus she's doing nice things for me soon, like making me a bookmark and taking me to get a coat and photoshooting me. :D

And I asked her to make me a quilt earlier today... she said that'd be cool, but she wasn't sure if she'd be able to for a while until she gets her concentration in gear. This makes me think of graduation present-stuff. Jeanne got a car, Ju got a laptop... if I got a quilt, that'd be really lovely and meaningful.

I don't know what made me think of ranting about my mom's radness. Oh well. Thank you, Mom. :)

Procrastinating on Science!

A conversation in the hall today between myself and my best friend:

"HEY, JODIE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS EVENING?"
"I'M GOING TO THE ORANGE COUCH IMPROV SHOW!"
"REALLY? ME TOO! ISN'T IT GREAT THAT IT'S ONLY ONE DOLLAR TO GET IN?"
"YEAH, AND IT'S CONVENIENTLY LOCATED IN THE COMMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHEN IT STARTS?"
"7:00, AND THE DOORS OPEN AT 6:30!"
"GREAT! I'LL BE SURE TO BE THERE. DID YOU HEAR THAT YOU CAN WEAR A COSTUME THERE AND HAVE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT?"
"YES, I DID! AND WE HAVE A GUEST MC TONIGHT. I'M EXCITED!"
"ME TOO! I'LL SEE YOU THERE!"
"SEE YA!"

We were pretty much screaming it at each other. Oh, advertising is great. :D

Yep, the Orange Couch Improv Show is tonight, and I'm looking all bruised and bloodied and mangled and otherwise spectacular as a severely distressed not-chosen prom queen. Pictures soon, hopefully.


Uh. I've got to work on my balloon racer now.
