Happy Mother's Day

Topic: One Ramblin' Ranter!
It is the day to honor you mommy! So get out there and do it! I hope by the time you all read this you already have! I called my mom and sent an e-card and then told her that her Mother's day mug would be sent as soon as I could afford to buy one from myself! Nothing like delayed gratification for gifts. I should start a line of greeting cards that say: Happy (holiday, birthday, anniversary or whatever)! "I apologize for the lack of a gift; I will remedy that as soon as I get the electricity cut back on!" What do you think? Would you buy a set of these cards? I can make them if you would!

I spent my Mother's day hanging out with my Aunt and Uncle and we had a very nice visit. Every time I go there I remember why I need to go there more often! In reality I have a very good family and I realize the same thing every time I visit anybody in it. Which brings me to a shocking revelation. I do not keep in touch as much as I need to! I promise to make a more concerted effort from now on. So everybody needs to go and sit by their phones! OK maybe not but I will try to keep in touch more and I ask that you all do so as well! So instead of every 6 months I will shoot for every 2 months and then try to wrestle it down to every month.... I am including friends in this as well....

So did I see my cousin Robert and his wonderful wife Denise at my Aunt and Uncle's house? As a matter of fact no, I did not. They are in Hawaii living it up 'La Vida Loca' style! Robert was a good son and he called his ma to wish her a Happy Mother's Day!

What else? Aunt Wanda and Uncle Don bought me a plant! We went to the plant store and I found a little basil plant I liked, it was purple!!! Yes you heard right the basil is purple! He is in a big ol' pot (another thing they donated to me) and he is sitting on my kitchen table next to George. Yes I did refer to it as a he.... I already named him! His name is BAZ!!! I saw on Mythbusters that talking to the plants helps them grow but playing heavy metal makes them grow faster and larger! So I might need to hook up some Zombie, Slayer and Megadeath for him to listen to! Or maybe just Zombie since I don't have any music by the other 2 bands. I will try to get some pictures of Baz tomorrow for you guys.

I found out today that my cousin Jeremiah and Tracy just had a baby girl this weekend. She is named Maile. I might get a picture of her soon. HINT HINT!!

I wanted to announce that I missed a birthday announcement recently but I take no blame from it since the person I am about to name did not put her birthday in the events calendar. HINT HINT! Jennifer M is having a birthday tomorrow. So wish her a great birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!
