yeah joanne, i repeat what ann said: it's really good to hear from you! i was wondering how you were doing... oh, and btw, i think we're going to hear from co-op soon!!! let me know if you get in!!! even if i don't (i'm not too confident about it right now...), i will be really excited for you! it's just such an awesome opportunity (there was a mess up in one of my class marks so i had to email my interviewer to let her know my mark changed and she said that co-op people would be contacting us "very soon")!
how is your aunt doing? i know that you can get those jogging strollers (three wheels). i must have seen an episode of the shopping bags about strollers or something. i can't wait for the sex and the city movie! (i don't really know why...) when are you coming back?
ann, with respect to death of a loved one... well, i'm lucky enough to say that i haven't really had to deal with that yet. my grandpa on my mom's side died when i was a kid, but the thing is (not to sound insensitive) i really didn't know him that well since he lived in ontario... i don't know. i guess i would listen to jo, because she obviously knows what it's like... i really can't imagine it. i guess let her know you're there, but don't pressure her to do things?
sorry i probably wasn't there for you when your dad passed away, joanne... i actually don't think i even knew until later... i felt really bad because i didn't know what to say, i remember. it was pretty... speechless-rendering of me...
umm... well, on a less grim note, today is my mom's birthday. i don't know if i told anyone (can't remember), but my dad's in singapore right now for work (mom, dad, jon, and jeff went there last summer for two months, if you guys remember). so i kind of feel bad for her since she's stuck here with four kids (or at least jeff...). also, since i'm not working, i have enough money in the bank for my phone bills until september, text materials for the biology course i'm taking this summer, and not too much else. i didn't get anything for her this year (aside from a card). i also feel kind of horrible because i spent $9.75 on myself from my meager moneys -- i got a cute shirt for $3.25 and a summer dress for $6.50 (it was a warehouse sale). the thing about my mom is that she's soooo incredibly practical. if she gets really nice stuff (ie, silk pajamas, designer purses, etc) she won't use them because she's "saving them" for a special occasion. but what am i supposed to buy? dishwasher detergent? i want her to have things that are for her, not for her to use for everyone else she has to take care of... y'know? *sigh* moms.
so what are everyone's mom day plans? i'm just going for lunch today at sun sui wah with cher, jon, jeff, dan, and my mom. last week i went for dinner with dan's family. my mom was scolding me today (kind of not really) because i didn't get dan's mom anything for mom day... she was like, "she's always helping you!" (i'm wearing the $6.50 dress... that dan's mom hemmed for me). what to do? lily, did you get jon's mom anything? what did you guys get/do for your own moms?
aaron, sorry i didn't talk to you for very long... gilmore girls makes me happy. but not happy gilmore. i didn't like that.
hmm... well everyone be good, and POST!
