Mum gave her the look that made us run for cover when we were kids and said, ‘I asked you to peel them, not plant them.’

Bless her heart - isn't Annie just the cutest thing?
Is she still a delicate flower?
*Great comeback by your mum.

No idea, they split up quite a while ago.
And yes, Mum could be devastating.

I just made a hotel reservation for the end of June...the weekend of my birthday...in the town where I grew up because my 45 year Catholic high school reunion is that weekend. Activities for this festive occasion include golf (which I don't do) and mass (which I don't do). Now I feel queasy. At least I didn't pay up front and I can cancel up till the day before.
Did I mention that I feel queasy?

It's almost the end of Friday the 13th. If I don't die in the next 15 minutes, I'll declare the superstition invalid.

Edit: Friday the 13th is officially debunked. You can all relax.

I was always a little superstitious about Friday the 13th. We smashed that notion about half an hour ago (the agent just left).
Just signed on the dotted line and sold our house!
Caboolture, (or Harvey Bay) here we come!

Friday the 13th has always been a day when good things happened around me.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I don't have the full itinerary yet, so not sure.
Ugh - still queasy.
