Two Cents
Monday, May 7, 2007 at 11:26AM Usually, I hate contests or games of any kind. When we lose at the roulette wheel, I will secretly hide the chips and tell Jason they're all gone. If I'm not going to win, I'd rather spend my time being constructive at the bar. Even at baby showers, if you hand me the clothespin and tell me not to cross my legs, I'm the first one to do it, just so I won't have to think about it anymore. To me, it's worth losing the bag of potpourri. So, that's why it's a little shocking that I entered this contest. I had to put in the personal info, which means I probably just signed up for six years of email porn. But I couldn't resist because it was about sending in advice that your mom gave you while you were growing up, that still makes a difference in your life. So many things came to mind, but mostly this. Whenever I'd get nervous or self conscious, whether it was a dance performance or first day at school, my mom would say, "Everyone is too busy thinking about what's going on with them, to think about what's going on with you". It totally took the pressure off. I still tell myself that all the time, and it helps me not take things so seriously. Thank you mom! I love you! And while we're at it, does anyone else have any good advice that your mom has given you over the years that you want to share here in the comments?
And if you want to receive six years of spam, you can enter the contest here. And you also might win $25,000!

six years of email porn,
I'll forfeit the $25,000
and pray for YOU to win!
But in honor of Mother's Day,
I will leave your readers with
another bit of 'Ginger bread'
and that is: "Take motherhood
seriously. The puppies invariably
turn out to be like the bitch!"
Love you too!
She was right.
all my mom ever told me was if i dug the hole in the back yard i'd end up in china....oh, and to "sit like a lady" :)
