She quietly goes in her room, and emerges after a short period of time and Voila! she has a CD made for me entitled "Just for Michelle". That is sooo cool. She has all the songs you can imagine. I took a picture of her recently because she looked sooo good in this shirt- she blushed of course but she let me take the picture- so I think I will share it.
I have a picture of Pecia too come to think of it. Here she is.
We got together last week and colored each others hair, and goofed off, and had fun in Northern NY despite the weather, which was very snowy that day.She was so gracious to give my son Isaac a ride to school for practice-(he was nagging for a ride after he MADE me cut his hair). While she was gone LORI, (yeah Lori!!!) picked up Pecia's purse and started checking it out. It was a cool purse- soooo Pecia's style. It was a soft suede with long hangy downy fringe, and the strap was braided. Then Lori started going through it.
First she brought out the hair color, which was the ice breaker, that was OK though because it was the main event. Then when she opened an orange bag she found (which ended up being a pencil case) things started to get interesting.
She found another small folded black thingy, yeah it was a necessities case- drop that back in. What else was in here?
She found a small, cute heart-shaped tin labelled "Shut up and kiss me" mints. No doubt they were from pecia's new husband Vince. Lori opened them up and ate some and offered one to me-no way was I going to eat them. They were shaped like little x's and o's- really too cute, but this was taboo.
Then she started to laugh and write notes and put them in Pecia's things. She put one in her compact mirror, one in her personal "hi Jean!" case, one in her pencil case, and then we heard the car pull in the driveway!!
"Uh oh! Pecia's back!! Quick, better hurry up Lori!!" But Lori had emergency surgery less than a year ago, and she doesn't move as fast as she used to, and of course we started to laugh, and when Lori starts to laugh anything can happen, and does, and DID. All sorts of noises from all over her body start hooting, and frooping and pooping, and she snorts and well, THAT never goes the way she wants it to go - "TISSUES please!!!"
When Pecia opened the door we froze. We were lucky she drove the Mini and was still mesmerized by the ride. She was talking to herself about it as she was walking in the door, which distracted her from our loud laughing, guilty looks, the cloudy haze in the room. Not to mention the huge pile of crumpled tissues scattered about. Of course Pecia went right over to her purse and opened it. Yikes!!! We couldn't hold in the laughter. She started with the line "did you see my cool purse?" and started to tell us what a great purse it was and pulled out the contents like it was show-and-tell starting with the orange pencil case!!!
"Isn't this a great purse?" she said, and look it has all my pencils in it for school- sure enough she opened it and there was a fresh note that read ,"Cool purse, love you - LP" I laughed, Lori just looked at me and started to make those noises again without warning.
Pecia looked at us not knowing what to think. She commented on how much Lori's handwriting looks like mine- what could I say? I thought of Tom, what would Tommy say? I told her that Lori was doing so well in rehab that she has mastered her handwriting skill and being ambidextrous before surgery she certainly would be considered talented and well anything could be expected even this!!- It sounded just as much like crap then as it does not. She didn't buy it. BUSTED!!! but it was funny. It was fun to laugh with them like we did when we were kids. The only thing we were missing was Tom. I did think of you- briefly of course LOL!!!
