Dee's Story

Yesterday, Mom corralled Dee in2 the kitchen B4 she got a chance 2 do NEthing else, like I sed in my morning entry. We barely got a chance 2 talk @ all, but when we did get a sec, Dee was like, "'April', I've got sumthing 2 tell U abt, sumthing that happened recently when my parents came over 2 have a 'nice' evening with us. But I'll have 2 tell U abt it in a seriez of short e-mails. When I can 'steal' a moment 'here' & 'there'."

So NEway, I checked my e-mail this morning & found this 1 fr. Dee:

'April'!

Here is the first of the 'e-mails' I promised you.

So, we were just moments away from my parents' 'ETA', and that brother of yours had yet to emerge from the God-forsaken 'attic'. So, with 'Robin' slung over my shoulder and 'Merrie' velcroed 2 my thigh, I drudged up the stairs and said, "Michael, I've made cabbage rolls. My parents will be here any minute. I want you to spend an 'evening' with us! So then Michael looked at me and said, "I will! Just let me finish this." I've heard this song enough that I've got all the 'notes' and 'chord' changes memorized. So I said, "No. Every time you say that, you become oblivious to time. Face it. Your work is never done!" Michael then tried, "Trust me!" Ha! I said, "No!" Michael: "Give me 5 minutes!" Me: "No!" Then he tried "Give me 30 seconds!" SECONDS, April! What's he going to do in 30 seconds? So, again, "No!" Then, weird thing, as I was turning my back to go downstairs, I could have sworn I saw an actual 'thought' bubble form over his head, with the words "Give me strength!" Oh, my God, April! He thinks he's the one who needs to be given strength?

Uh-oh, I hear 'Robin' crying. More when I have another quiet moment to write!

'Dee'

Geez, Mike. And I suppose U're gonna whine 2 Mom & try making yrself sound like a big ol' victim in all this. Spend sum time w/yr fam, jerk.

Liz, did U read that stuff Howard & Becks wrote last nite, abt Candace, Rudy, & Candace's Aunt Roo? Geez, they R all so off. I had no idea. Did U?

Jeremy, I think I saw an RCMP uniform in the costume shoppe & the mall. It's worth a try.

Gah, foax, I'm so bummed that we R back in school. Gotta go, cuz I'm abt 2 get caught w/my phone. Alex is drinking a quadruple espresso on one side of me while Eva is sitting on the other telling me this blog entry looks interesting. I hope this isn't one of her bad interestings.

Apes out
