conversation with mom (7.6.10)

Thank God for gmail, because my momma and I still get to talk everyday while I´m here in Ecuador!

Here´s part of our latest gchat convo: 

3:18 PM Faith: Got caught up in looking at your friend Steph's 365 photos. It is amazing! If I had the time, I would do that. Right now I can hardly find time to do the dishes much less take a phot every day!

 me: hahaha!

3:19 PM i´m hoping to do it starting on my 21st birthday.

  so i can document everyday

  of my 21st year

3:23 PM Faith: That is an excellent idea!

3:24 PM So I'll start mine on my 60th birthday. This way, I have __ more years to get the camera and my act together! :)

 me: hahahahaha!

3:27 PM Faith: Is photography her major?

3:28 PM me: no her major is communications desing

  photography is just a big hobby of hers

  she´s so good!

  i´m glad you looked at her blog!

3:35 PM Faith: She sure has a knack for it! She thinks of taking a photo of a candy bar and it looks great! Is she the one who took those great photos of you?

3:36 PM me: with the yellow chair?

  yup!

  1) My mom is officially a fan of Steph`s blog and photography. (She found out about it because I referred to it in my last blog post) You should be a fan too!
2) If you didnt notice I put a __ for how many years until my mom´s 60th birthday. She´d kill me if I revealed her age to all of blog world.
3) My mom is one of the funniest people I know. Any inch of sense of humor I have.. is all inherited from her.(I may have said that before.. but I´m just reiterating the fact)
4) I have tons of blog entries to post today about Ecuador.

conversations with mom (6.6.2010)

(while watching  "the notebook" together on TV)
me: oh this part coming up is so sad
mom: oh yeah.....when he sees her in the restaurant
me: wow you know the movie well. nice job mom.
mom: well, it comes on TV 5,000 times
me: true story
mom: what's a true story?!     (with her tone voice slightly surprised b/c she thinks the movie might be based on reality)
me: no mom.... its a phrase.

love her.

conversations with mom

This text conversation that I had with my mom was too good to not share:
Me: How do I know if I'm still ameniac?
Mom: R u trying to say maniac?
Me: Noo anemiac.. Like low iron, low blood.
Mom: Hahaha. Oh, anemic. I think maniac is more fitting. I'll call you tomorrow and explain! BYE!

- A few things you'll be able to tell about my dear mother and I from this short conversation.
1) I'm not the best speller.. especially when I'm tired, and I'm trying to do 142 things at once..
2) My mom is frickin hilarious.
3) My mom is so good at texting now that she uses the lingo of "r" and "u"
4) When my mom is tired, she lets me know by ending our texting and gmail conversations with capital letters.
5) I will never be "too" old to text my mom questions like that, especially since she's a nurse.

I know this is my second blog post about conversations with my mom.. but if she continues to be this funny ... I'm going to keep on sharing. Maybe I'll make it a regular thing.

a few things i enjoyed this weekend

#1 Finding Remember the Titans on YOUTUBE.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BIATEpbsX4 
(This was great because I left the dvd we have of this movie at home.. and because Remember the Titans is hands down one of the best movies ever made)

#2 Realizing that I need to pray this over my life so much more than i currently do.
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spiritof wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better."
 and having the faith that he will answer this prayer.

#3 Talking to my mommy via gmail-chat. (I'm just genuinely happy that my mom is so much more tech-savvy now.... She texts too!)
-Here's a glimpse of our conversation:
(she says a "new" smiley face.. because gchat animates the smiley faces

7:51 PM me: just pray for me, thanks :) Faith: oooh, a new smily face! How do you do that one? Nice talking to you. I mean that!! Love you lots!

7:52 PM me: haha.. you just put a colon and a parenthesis

  okay love you too!

  get some work done

  i have to too.

  byee

25 minutes

8:18 PM Faith: :) Doesn't work! Nope, you are holding out on me!

8:19 PM me: uh

  it just worked!

  i see it work

  it should work for you too though

 Faith: Oh, once I sent it , it worked! Now i can finally get bact to work :) :) :) :)

 me: hahaha.

8:21 PM Faith: Bye for Good this time!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) sorry, I just love to see them turn around.. coool!

-I love that woman, and her 10 smiley faces in a row

#4 Productivity!
Now... anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not the one to jump for joy as I do my school work/to do list things (and that's an understatement)... but this weekend wasn't that bad because of the things I have to show for it:
• a new and improved resume
• a FOUR day start on my paper due this week. (this almost never happens)
• a 30 second video on the amazing Alexa!
This was a project I had to do for my photo class.. It was my first time using Final Cut, so pay more attention to Alexa's wicked awesome violin skills than my technical skills.
(pause my music player on the right to watch it)

I like this list thing, I think I'll do it more often.
