Mom & Salesmanship

Mom's still harping on Monday, and I have a feeling she's not done. We'll prolly get 2 morrow off fr. this story, peeps, but I think it's gonna B rite back 2 it this coming Monday. I know, I know--sorry!

So, like, I'm still @ Becky's now, from the slumber party, but Mom of course called 2 make sure "everything is OK." But I think the real reason was she wanted 2 tell me more abt that st00pid day of hers. She told me she was being all pleasant & professional w/the customerz, but they were being rude, like, by "just looking" insteada buying & grunting insteada answering her "Thank U 4 coming in." And slamming the door (she cd alwayz fix the door so it doesn't slam--lotsa stores have that). She sed she calmed herself down by saying, "The key 2 successful salesmanship is not 2 take rudeness personally." Hm. Moira told me, yesterday evening, that she noticed on Monday that the phone directory looked as though some1 had actually taken huge bites outta it. "I don't think yr father--the DENTIST--wd approve of that, April--if this is what happened, and if it was yr mother, which I don't doubt it was."

But, like, that's all I've got 4 now. We're making Belgian waffles 4 breakfast. Like Becks sed, Shannon tried 2 skinnydip last nite, all "freedom...of....expre....ssion", but Becks wasn't playing that & made Shannon put on her suit. She kinda pouted 4 a while after that, but l8r she remembered, like, "Oh, yeah, I'm @ an actual party" & she kinda litened up.

What was scary is that Dr. Ted decided 2 "join the luvly, sweet yung things, & Becky" in the pool. And he was, like wearing a lil Speedo bikini that we all had 2 avoid lookin' @ like U avoid lookin' @ the sun during an eclipse. & he kept telling us what cute lil bodiez we'd been growing under our school uni's, & we were getting sooooooo squicked! Becky ended up having 2 chase him off with a frying pan & an umbrella!

After that, we weren't in much of a pool mood NEmore, so we dried off, went inside, & changed in2 our jammies. OMG, Shannon's wearing Snoopy footie jammies, w/Woodstock on the tush! I have my "yummy sushi" jamz on, Becks has the babydoll nightie, Alex is wearing an RPI jersey & coffee-bean pajama bottoms, Eva has this really cute smiley "Have a nice day" nightie, & Vicki has black sweatpants & her Audioslave concert shirt.

Becky had sworn off "Truth or Dare", so we played "two lies and a truth." That's the game where you make three statements--two lies, one truth--and every1 triez 2 guess which is which. We learned sum pretty cube thingz abt ea other, but I'll let every1 decide how much they wanna share abt that. My two liez were "I love my brother Michael's writing" & "I think my dad's trains hobby is kewl." I guess those were way obvs. My truth was I started crushin' on Ger when we were both nine. NINE! Kinda scary, eh?

Well, waffles R up. More l8rz,
