DA BOOK
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Da Momma: Elizabeth, a journalist and college instructor. Formerly a latte-slinging, cell phone-talking Washington political junkie. Now a wild-dancing accidentally offensive woman with an irrational passion for flinging things on the floor and hanging things from ceilings. Wants you to think she's a grown-up, even though she calls her Dad the minute things get complicated.
Baby Eden: The Schmoopy. My sweet little Three, who shrank instead of grew. But she's always had Momma's back.
Mary: Devoted to hermit crabs and FREAKING OUT. Made me a mother.
Karenna: Peekaboo Streak. The Roodle, Doodley. Everybody knows about Roo. Passionate about folk music. Some werewolf tendencies. Always looking for new employees. Sophisticated vocabulary
Cute Husband, Esq: A former Marine, it was he who instilled in our daughters a love of getting up very early in the morning to go off and do things. Some days he's lucky he's still alive.
Moonbeam and Sunbeam: Yes, okay, somehow or other they got the same sorta names as our cats, Moonlight and Sunshine. That was a total accident. However, like the cats, they are super-cuddly, will get food for themselves if hungry, and they're part of the family. Like the rest of the family, they believe in the power of liquor, drugs, and hot glue. They have no fear of blood.
The Beasties: Two cats. And some cacti that refuse to die. This is a picture of a fish we killed a long time ago. Need to update that.
HAHAHA…oh man, that is hilarious and a true representation of sister relationships!
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Priceless!
That is classic!
What HAPPENED?!!?!?!
I don’t even know! I’m a terrible person! I was taking a picture of Ren’s shit-eating grin and then they started bickering and I just kept clicking!
“Oh, Mare, look, you’re making your sister cry, you wretched child!” Click, click.
And then I put it on the freaking Internet! I am a horrible person!
Yeah, but you’re totally my kind of horrible person.
Hahahaha this is GREAT!!
Yup. Hilarious.
Very occasionally, not often, but occasionally, I think that being both a grown-up and an only child is less stressfull. =)
PS
re: twitter. Really, no one does like an asshole. You speak only truth. =D
That’s the sort of thing you save to display at Mare’s bridal shower!
This is classic!
These so need captions.
1) Ren: Aaaaaaaargh!
2) Mary (eye roll that would cause whiplash in anyone older then ten): Sheesh.
Ren: Tee hee! Aren’t I cute?
3) Ren: Wut? That was cute…
Mary: Uh hunh
4) Ren (chin wobble): Wasn’t cute?…
Mary: Heh heh
5) Ren: Mooooooommmaaaaaa!
Hilarious! I don’t know how you ever do it – those big blue eyes would crumble me every time!
A picture really is worth a thousand words!
why does mary look exactly like caroline kennedy in that last photo?
Too funny.
Mare looks just like her Momma
I love you baby, but I JUST WON’T SMILE.
Oh my word Liz! Mary actually looks about 30 in this picture, she’s getting so grown up! And Ren is just adorable! Not long until St Patricks day now, time for making some Soda Bread again! Sophie (Belfast, Northern Ireland) Ps.. Percy can come and visit anytime!! xx
Ren’s face in the last picture…. It so makes me want to give her a huge hug. I have a tender-hearted 9 year old and after a hug and snuggle he’s so willing and wanting to forgive. It amazes me.
Wow! I’m thinking Mare’s mischievous grin in photo #4 is a spittin’ image of her dear Momma!
So. Darned.Cool. Oh man. Cool.
That so could have been my daughters. I’ve seen that exact scene in MT.
