Not much to blog about this weekend. I didn't do much interesting stuff. My mother-in-law treated me to a new coat. I found a great deal at Macys on a peacoat. My last, very lovely peacoat was lost in a rental car mishap. I left it in a rental car and in the 20 minutes it took to realize it was gone and call, the coat had gone missing. Or gone STOLEN. Whatever. My new coat is beautiful, but it will be about 90 degrees this week so I won't be wearing it for a while. Sad. When is fall supposed to get here?
Interesting web linkage re the title of the blog:
Mortified is this amazing sort of open-mic type event in which grown men and women read excerpts from notes, diaries, poems and songs written in their youth. I know, totally mortifying. But hilariously funny. Or so I hear. I really want to go see one. The next events in LA are on October 15 and Nov 3rd. If anyone wants to go, let me know.
I also found this hilarious blog: Stuff Korean Moms Like
Created by a self-described "Korean mom in training," the site is "dedicated to psycho-analyzing our moms, reliving horrible memories of embarrassment and dread for the benefit of the public...all the while laughing like a wheezy grandpa. Someone needs to pay for our therapy..."
Take a moment and read it for yourself. It's hilarious. And most of it is just plain old mom stuff, like my personal favorites:
#47 Arguing over the bill
#42 Paper and plastic bags
#37 Bargaining
#35 Snooping
#20 Marrying people off
#19 Pointing out physical deformities
#5 Stank Eye
She explains them so hilariously that I tried to come up with a similar list for Cuban Americans in general. It turned out that I loved her list more than my own. So go. See her list!
