My parents and sister have been on a cruise ship for a few days now. I guess she's been trying to send messages from the ocean but they haven't come through. Right now she's in Santa Barbara so she's going back through the last weeks worth of text messages and sending them to me, my family and my best friend.... TWICE EACH
Here's a look at the exciting cruse ship texts:
"Tonite Christie had Mango Smoothie as appetizer I had Butter-lettuce salad, for dinner Christie had Beef Wellington wrapped in Patt (looked & tasted yu
cky, Bob didn't like it) I had Lobster & Fille Shrimp with Asparagus and potato. Dessert was great but can't tell you what we had, Bob had Chocolate Am
aretto Souffle with Hazelnut sauce, he LIKED IT!! Waiting to see a lounge show Family Feud."
(I am leaving in the text breaks my phone adds)
"Hi guys - Christie & Bob are napping...imagine that! Thought I'd text for my entertainment. Nice trip so far, Christie's alergies are acting up! Sneezin
g non-stop since 9:30..Sundries closed till 5:30, she need something,can see Dr after 5 but if need emergency meds they charge double for her. We sail
at 5:30 for home, back home at 7:30. ...... Shirley just called! They went ashore to sightsee, asked them to get Christie meds...are on tender back
to ship!! Praise God we were able to remedy meds for Christie!! Love to all!"
(so glad I know what time the Sundries close)
"Outside ship 14th floor to see "Midnight in Paris" ... it's pretty nice in the sunshine...they provide blankets..and popcorn...how cool is this? That's all for now! Love you guys"
(not sure how my dad convinced her to see a Woody Allen movie. she hates him.)
there were also 2 blurry photos sent of my sister. one sitting in a chair drinking beer. one sitting in a chair. they were both exactly as exciting as i described them.

The Irony
Bought my sister a scarf and some booties at the GAP for xmas. A few weeks later my mom decided to take them back to the store to get money for them. She called me frantically once she was at the mall. I was at work. She left me about 4 voice mail messages and then followed up with this text message:
Becky do you still have the receipts for Christie's boots & sweater? Please call or text yes or no! I guess you're very busy so surely you can answer y or b. Mom
I was more than just a little annoyed that she was bugging me so much while I was working and that she didn't ask me to look for the receipts when I was at home and had time to look for them rather than yelling at me while she was inside the store. Here was my response:
Very busy working at work. I do not know of I have them I do not keep receipts at my desk at work I will have to look at home when I'm not working but I doubt I still have the receipt.
This was her response:
A long dissertation of complaints were unnecessary..you could have just texted y or n!
"A long dissertation" ohhhhhhhhh the irony mom...

The Talent Scout
It's been a long time since I've updated and I have a few texts to share.
This is a random one I never responded to. I like that she wants him to do voice over but thinks he's hot which is ultimately how we chose voice over artists at work:
"Check this guy for voice overs this is on U-tube look for Emilio's Beer commercial!! I think he looks like Alex on Grey's Anatomy...let me know what yo u think! He is a SAG member. Mom"
Just did a search on the ol "U-tube" and found Emelio in Beer Commercial. Can you figure out which guy my mom thinks looks like Alex from Grey's Anatomy?
