I'm willing to share small tidbits of me. Who I am. What I experience. Why I do what I do. Just ramdom thoughts from me. Enjoy!
Who?
Name::Random me From::California, United States
I am a wife and mother of two boys. I work full-time in the electronics industry. It took me 6 years to graduate college (no, I'm not embarrassed-I finished, Dammit!) SJSU class of 1990. I love to cook, because I love good food. I'll pass on sweets, but will eat something with garlic or onion in a minute. I HATE cheese, except Mozzerella on pizza-and that has to be combination pizza. I hate chick flicks, but love a good thriller. My husband and I are real estate investors on the side. View my complete profile
She would have been 82 today. My Erma. My grandmother. I visited her grave on August 3rd and I cried. I didnt think I would, but I cried. I spoke to her. Let her know I missed her and I have for quite some time. A million images of things she did ran through my mind. I dont want to forget her: how she entered a room, how she spoke, how she walked, how she "dismissed" people when they were being ignorant (the eye roll, blowing her breath with that "pfffttt" sound and the dismissive hand wave).
Funny, throughout her 60's she kept having portraits done and she'd tell me she was taking them for her funeral program. I'd laugh, tell her she's crazy and "dismiss her"...I guess it's hereditary, eh? Well bless her for doing it. Because dammit, if we didnt use one of her planned funeral program photos for her funeral program.
As I sit here today, looking at said "funeral program portrait", I love her. I miss her. I am her!
Love you Erma!
