Happy Half-Birthday to me!

I bought myself The Metropolitan Bakery Cookbook: Artisan Breads, Pastries, and Desserts for only $9, so I'm excited. I expect my gifts to arrive shortly. Problems with the mail service is not an acceptable excuse.

You've been watching too much Lord of the Beans, Ahem.

Sounds like a fun book. You'll have to tell us about all the yummy stuff you try out.

Also, for your half-birthday present I decided to let you keep the half-birthday present you got for me last month and forgot to mail. I believe it is under your bed. Or possibly in the bottom of your closet. I'll recheck my surveillance tapes later.

But what am I going to do with a "London for Dummies" book? I'm not the one who needs to flee the country.

Mean Mommy said...

You never know. Particularly when you let me do your taxes.

I mailed your present today. It should get there in a few days.

That's right! I got Holly a Half-Birthday present! And I called her.

Well, I called her the day before, but I have class from 8 am to 9pm on Mondays, and I didn't think Holly would appreciate me calling early in the morning or after her bedtime.

Also, I put something else it there, which you may not keep forever, but it can amuse you for a little while.

Yay! Melissa's gift is accepted, even though it is previously viewed. Also, what is the suprise? SS2? Yay! I'm excited, I will be checking the mail regularly now. Also, I work until midnight on Monday, which I'm sure is past your bedtime, Melissa. Plus, more people should call me. Because when I try to call them, they refuse to pick up. Why is that?

Martin said...

Don't call her. She's lying. While someone does indeed pick up the phone when you call Holly, she will talk to you for a little bit and then claim she has to "go to the bathroom."

ahem. said...

Hey! You called at a bad time! And even then I talked to you for a good 15-20 minutes.

Mean Mommy said...

What is SS2, and why does it require frequent mail checking?

Also, I don't answer when you call because the Caller ID says Unknown Number. Plus, I don't really love you.

And also, you are indicating that 12:30 Monday nights is a good time to call? I'll pencil you in.

Mean Mommy said...

Yes, Holly does lie. She called me and then said she had to use the bathroom.

Martin said...

Don't worry Shannon. If you call me, I won't use the bathroom. At all. I won't even offer to go and take the phone with me, like Holly did. Don't ever call me from that phone.

Mean Mommy said...

Do you have a microphone set up in your computer?

Martin said...

No, no I do not. Why?

Mean Mommy said...

Because then I could call you from the computer! Hee Hee!

ahem. said...

I hate you all. And I didn't want to "hang up" last night, I had to. It really wasn't my fault that Heather can't do her own homework. Plus, my room-roommate was rather freaked out by the whole phone thing. She kept mouthing the words "can they hear me?"

Mean Mommy said...

Yeah, whatever. I can hear you now Heather.

P.S. Did she not know about my surveillance cameras? It's not like I can't hear you guys all the time anyway.
