Flipped-Out Phone

I am so ashamed of myself. And just a little bit proud, too. After living more than four decades without wanting or needing a pocket phone/computer/stereo/gameboard/calendar/encyclopedia/notepad/etc., I have given in to peer pressure.

I got an i-phone.

A pink one.

mobile phone 1

I was fine without one, until my friend Robin showed me hers. It was way cool. And she’s older than I am.

And since Robin is way cool, and I want to be just like her when I grow up, I decided I needed an i-phone.

I know, I know. I’m supposed to be my own person and all that. I need to be comfortable with my own identity. But now, I’m very comfortable being a hip forty-something mama with an i-phone. I think it fits me quite well. Pair it with some jeans, high-heeled boots and a denim jacket, and watch out! Mama’s goin’ to town.

Ideal Meal

A Thanksgiving poem with a twist. 



Ideal Meal

The Thanksgiving turkey
Tasted like jerky
With lumpy potatoes
And sour tomatoes,
The dressing too sodden and moist.

The rolls didn’t rise
And Mama’s sweet pies
Were bitter to taste,
Gooey as paste,
But in spite of it all, we rejoiced.

We thanked God above
For His bountiful love,
For freedom to meet
And for food to eat
Taking time to tell God how we feel.

For even though dinner
Wasn’t a winner,
We all overlook
That Mama can’t cook.
Thanksgiving is more than a meal.
