Just A Little Lightning Rod Update

Did you know lightning can jump out several miles ahead of it's storm cloud? Wow. That is unfortunate.

Today I went to get Katelyn's birth certificate (perhaps slightly overdue, but not as overdue as Aunt Trina is). I ran up the steep stairway to the third floor. I flung the door open! And... the birth and death division is closed today for staff meeting.

!?!???!!?

Honestly, people. Not even a secretary to smile at my misfortune? NO ONE? Hmph.

My cousin Tina (of lightning rod fame) has requested $500 of my million for my future hypothetical book deal. I am happy to give it. It could even be $1000 for our Costco/Dress Barn run. I have come up with a plan, and it goes like this:

Good Cousins: $1000
Rotten Cousins: $10

Not that I have rotten cousins, Mom. 'Cause I do not. But some of them are only getting ten dollars, and you know I'm right about this.

Have a nice day!

So, I hope I'll be getting $1,000 of this hypothetical money since I'm your 2nd-ish favorite cousin and all(we all know who the first favorite is...) I'm just glad to think I may even get the $10! That'd do me fine! Maybe I'd use it to take you out to lunch . . . nothin' fancy though (can't afford it). LOVE YA!! AmBrA

That is seriously funny . . . thanks for making me smile as I sit and hold my little boy who NEEDS me at the moment. You are the bestest (just don't use this word in your book) you might only make $950,000 and I wouldn't get to go on my shopping adventure!

In my defense, I would just like to say that ALL three of my children are birth-certificated!!! Let's not mention that I got all three of them at the same time! SHHHHH! :-)
