Just like my mom

I love my mom. I think she is great. As I get older, I realize I'm becoming more and more like her. As I put the packages I bought today on the floor of my closet (where my mom puts hers when they can't immediately be put away), I saw just one more thing that makes me like her.

Now I do have some distinct characteristics that are from my dad like that I ...

-Love a good story

-Laugh at my own jokes

-And a few classic expressions

But just as I resemble my mom more than my dad (minus the height thing), I probably have more things that are like my mom...

Here are just a few to mention

-I do something stupid and even though nobody knows about it I tell them anyway

-I start one cleaning task and then move onto another before the first (or second or third) is finished

-I laugh when people are making fun of me

-I love to have people over just to hang out

-I hate looking at picture of myself

-I spend a lot of time planning family vacations and probably get more pleasure out of people enjoying themselves with the plans I made than the vacation itself

-I always need to make sure the people I love are well fed

Here is a picture of my mom with my sister Diana from my wedding. I'm hoping that I age like my mom. That hair color is all nautral people...no gray.

I love you Mom!
