Bond

"Guess what movie's on cable tonight?" I asked my daughter, Carrie.

She had said it was chick flick night at her apartment, and the girls were trying to choose among several selections.

Carrie probably thought I was going to refer her to "Sense and Sensibility" or "Little Women" or "Pride and Prejudice" or "Anne of Green Gables." It would be just like me.

But there's our relationship to consider. We've established a closeness you just can't arrive at with the classics. When I told her my pick, she was genuinely touched and said, "Mom, I love it that you love that movie, too. It's so nice to have that to share with you."

A couple of tender moments passed before we said our abrupt good-byes.

Neither of us wanted to miss the opening of "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion."

  7. Lynnell, Yes! And, truly, it should have been a Carrie and Lynnell and Julia story! (You have no idea how recently Carrie and Kev were still saying, "Mom, whatever you do, DON'T BLOG THAT!" I walk a fine line.) Thanks for reading here, girlfriend.

  8. Does Carrie start getting money, too?!

  9. Bridget, She is not currently holding my words hostage, no. With Kev, it's something of a tradition which arose during his years of embarassment and continues unabated though he now enjoys what I write.

  10. Although, I am just a poor little college student trying to stretch every last cent. All of a sudden this blog is extremely embarassing...(sniff, sniff)

  16. Go, Carrie! Go, Carrie! It's birthday, no it isn't, party anyway! :)

  17. Okay, Bridget. If I'm not mistaken, much of your cheerleading tendencies currently arise from prescription painkillers!! (How are you feeling, little sister?)
    Posted by katy  on  10/13/03  at  03:44 PM
  18. It must be the pain meds (gotta love them!), as I forgot a word in my cheer...I meant to say, "It's YOUR birthday..." Really, though, the pain could be worse. I'm up and around a bit already...I'm just getting restless on the couch... Love ya, sis! :)
