what a crazy day...I can't write much about it now, for I'm on my way out the door. but my mom was on TV today! she's out of town, so I can't congratulate her personally. I left her a message on her cell phone, which I know will go unchecked. the message will sit there for about two weeks, then she'll call me and ask me to check them for her. and it will go something like this:
*ring, ring ring*me: hello
mom: hey can you please check the messages on my phone for me?
me:hmmm, okay...are you sure the message waiting icon is on?
mom: yeah, I see it
me: okay, I'll do it right away
*hang up*
*dialing*
*ring, ring*
mom: hello
me: hey why did you pick up the phone? I'm trying to check your messages
mom: well the phone rang so I picked it up.
me: of course it rang, I have to call it so I can check them. hang up and turn the phone off.
mom: okay
*hang up*
(after a minute) *ring*
at this point I hear a bunch of ladies talking in the background, and I can tell my mom is digging for the phone in her purse
mom: hello
me: (silent and fuming)
mom: hello, hello, hellooooo, aaarrreeeee you going speak?
me: its me again, do you want me to check your messages or not? if you keep answering the phone I can't check them, geez
mom: okay, okay, okay
*hang up*
so I finally am able to check the messages, which consist of about 20 hang ups, my old message, and about ten messages from my dad saying "hello, (mom's name) if you are there pick up your phone...if you can hear me pick up, pick up, pick up"
