Mother's WEEK

STEPHEN:

So, I've had quite the adventure lately with the internet and cable at my new apartment. Basically I've been waiting for Comcast to come install it, and when the guy finally came he said I'd have to have permission from the landlord to have a cable jack installed in my room. So today I set up a new instalation date (the 22nd!! That's SO FAR AWAY!), but when I go to the landlord to ask for written permission for the installation, he tells me that we already pay for internet and cable (he told me when I signed that we didn't) and that all I'd have to do to get the internet is plug in the computer ethernet jack. DUH. So I've been dying for cable and internet the last three weeks, and all I had to do was plug it in. Oh well.

I was thinking that we could extend Mother's Day to include the entire week, that way we could all post some different stories about Mom, and reasons why we love her so much!


I love Mom because she used to dress me like this! Love the socks, Mom!! (seriously)

I would personally have to say that Mom is pretty much my best friend. When I told her I was moving into a new apartment, and that there was no one living in it, she volunteered to send me a box of miscellaneous kitchen gadgets that I might need (in the past I've always used what my roommates had, or what was left over from former tenants). So the other day I got a big box with a bunch of random kitchen thingys (including a pink, plastic salad tong! YES!), which saved me a bunch of time and money. Mom is a much busier lady than I am at this point, and I imagine her coming home exhausted from work, but still finding the time and energy to send me that stuff.

Other than that, she's always listened to my problems, even when they get repetitive, and seems to offer the best advice. I'll post another story or two later in the week.

Love you all,

Stephen
