I chat on line with a group of women who had babies around the same time as me. We have been through pregnancy, delivery and now babyhood together. Many are readers here, actually. In any event, I woke up this morning as if it was any other Monday. Boy was I wrong. When I logged on to our discussion board there was a topic about me and how great everybody thinks I am. How wonderful is that? There it was, up in lights for all to see. And for no other reason than just because. Of course, now they’ll have to suffer the consequenses of my big head.
I know I’ve harped on this subject quite a bit with it being the holidays and all, but here is yet another example of how easy it is to give people gifts they appreciate and treasure. The kind words from these women who have grown to mean so much to me are pure gold. I can’t think of a physical something I would have appreciated more. Well, maybe an Oreo…but they are well aware of my addiction. As we wrap up electric screwdrivers, fancy sausages and designer perfume this year, let’s not miss an opportunity to really give the people in our lives who matter something special. Tell them how being who they are makes our world better. I guarantee that gift won’t be forgotten.
Do you think maybe we just wanted to be mentioned in the blog?
KIDDING! We love you!
I don’t think I have a big head, but everytime I try on someone else’s hat, it never fits. Always way too small.
Amsterdamn, you gave me a good laugh. I really do have a large head. My family all does, actually. When my twin sister and I were young, our teachers traced the profiles of all the kids in our grade. They were head profiles. We stood in front of a light, the teachers traced our head and then we cut our heads out on black construction paper. Well, they decided it would be fun to hang all the heads up in alphabetical order around the cafeteria. There were all these little noggins until you got to the part of the alphabet where the two big headed twins were located. I mean, I knew ours weren’t tiny, but dang.
That does say something. People don’t go out of their way to say nice things if they don’t mean it. And great people should get kudos!
As for my wonderful cooking, I am actually a natural when it comes to Mexican (and only Mexican)- that’s the Southern Californian in me. But the “Tortilla Dip” that Lois raved about on Saturday is nothing but a casserole dish with a layer of cream cheese, layer of salsa and shredded Monteray Jack and Chedder cheeses put in the oven for 15 minutes. It’s a real tough recipe with lots of ingredients. Try it!
Sounds yummy Holly. Anytime cream cheese is an ingredient you can do no wrong!!!! I think I’d eat cream cheese on liver.
Did it happen to be iVillage ParentsPlace Lisa? That’s how I met two dear friends for life, also mothers of twins. One, Amy in Canada, is my dearest friend, but we have never spoken on the phone, and we like it that way. The other, Lisa in Colorado, actually came here on vacation and so we got to meet in person.
Oh gosh, there is Amsterdamn posting, FYI, he is a dear friend of mine for over 20 years. And you will find this interesting… He is an ID twin, and I am a fraternal twin. I had fraternal twins.
I told him to go read your blog and comment but not to be sassy. I see I was too late. 😉
Nope…Pregnancy.Org.
Gosh, we’ve got ourselves a regular twin fest here. I’m a fraternal and my sister is married to a fraternal.
Amsterdamn was perfectly well behaved. I paid his sight a visit.
