From Peter:
It is snowing we have about 7" at this point. I am going to Conifer
in a bit to put $250 in your account--the roads are terrible--I am
risking my LIFE for you--I hope you appreciate it. O K it's not that
bad, and I have to go anyway--grandma needs vodka.
I love you,
Pa
Oceans 11?
Our friend Jeff jokes about Oceans 11, Oceans 12, Oceans 13, Oceans 14, The Oceans 11 DVD Club, and anything of the sorts. One day, he IMed my sister, who left her AIM up, asking her how many Oceans 11 she owned.

hi. i just got off the phone with you and went to check my messages on my computer before bed. and there was this instant message from jeff and it said, "how many ocean 11's do you own." so now i'm really confused because i think chloe's IMs still come up on my computer and i'm pretty sure jeff wasn't asking me. don't call me now because i'm going right to bed. but, huh?

Note: Rosa used to come clean the house occasionally. She was our "cleaning lady." I hate that term, but whatever, she's a lady and she cleans.

thanks, y'all (by the way, lauren's wedding was beautiful and everyone sends their love) for getting back to me with luggage info.
but there's just one suitcase that's still not accounted for. do any of you have the largest piece? it's tan with black edges, and it's on wheels. or do you know where it could be? i think i've looked everywhere (but you know me...).

From: Mom
Date: Tue, Jan 20, 2009
In case you are interested: McGrath Studios will be on campus on Thursday, Feb 12th. Sign up on line at www.mcgrathstudios.com. Your password is "EC". There is a $5.00 sitting fee. This is the last time for 2009.
I don't know if you are interested but perhaps you should look into the price of the yearbook and the price of the portraits. Of course, you can take the picture for the yearbook and not be obligated to buy the photos... I'll leave it up to you. Let me know what you think.

Mom,
I have pretty many pictures of all my friends, and there are a lot of dumb people at this school that I'd never like to see again, so, I think I'll do without the yearbook.
I also can't fathom handing Emerson one more cent for ANYTHING in life. So...
Thanks for e-mailing, but I think I'll decline.
Have a good day!

I understand and respect your decision, but you might want to take the picture and get yourself into the yearbook to at least feel some satisfaction to being included in the group of elites who will also be graduating. You might want to show this off to your children one day as they may want to become Emersonians also.
Also, I would like for you to be in the yearbook even if we don't purchase.

Emails From Meghan's Mom...
i was deleting old emails and i found this one from when i emailed my mom that i had to go to the hospital for a spider bite when i was in australia.
Meghan,
You've got to be kidding me. Maybe you shouldn't wear jeans!!!!
Painkillers for a spider bite? WOW!!!
Well I am glad you are fine. We asked the spider to do that because its
a LOVE bite for Valentines day!!
We just had lobsters with Nana. It was delicious. Star Market cooked
them and broke them apart for us so it was easy to eat.
Hope you are having fun.
Love, Mom

Subject: David Sedaris quote from MTPOD
To: Mom
It often seems that my brother and I were raised in two completely different households. He's eleven years younger than I am, and by the time he reached high school, the rest of us had all left home. When I was young, we weren't allowed to say "shut up," but by the time Paul reached his teens, it had become acceptable to shout, "Shut your motherfucking mouth." The drug laws had changed as well. "No smoking pot" became "No smoking pot in the house," before it finally petered out to "Please don't smoke any pot in the living room."-Me Talk Pretty One Day
respect your elders...
this is just cute.

I like ideas and can’t wait to see you for Thanskgiving. Good time to start cleaning your apt. jk, daddio

my mom has been really into forwards lately. in fact, she forwarded me this "chain email" game the other day and even added to it at the bottom. She also sent it to about 15 other people.
