Tapestry and Truth

Can you guess what facebook post might be mine?

·        * OSU what is wrong with you? Slam those Iowa Wakcos!!

·       *  Can you believe Senator Duh from Dumbasskiss said that?

·      *   I ate spinach Ponchatrain a la toast with Chestnuts so good!!

·        * My elf name is? Sparkle Twinkle Bum

·        * Look my cat is sleeping in a chair!

These are actually 5 very different types of friends I have on facebook. How do I have such diversity?  I would think that I would surround myself with people more like me.  People who held onto similar values, moral ethics, taste in food, music, people with the same sense of fun.  I cherish each of them. They are a quilt, unlike the ones my grandmothers and aunts made. This quilt is made of a variety of texture. Some are good old homespun cotton, but others pieces of this quilt are flannel, burlap, wool, silk, linen, velvet, lace and leather, each gleaming in their own colors.  I like to say my life is a tapestry but on the other side, of what everyone sees, the side where the threads are all a mass of chaos from the weaving of a story, maybe, what is there is actually the quilt.

My mother, GOD love her, blurted out to a man who was paying me a load of compliments including, “she is above all of these things smart.”  Of course she is smart, she is more than smart, she is a genius, I know because I know her IQ my mother says.  Then after he says he wishes all volunteers were as giving. Yeah mother says, she needs to stop and get a job that pays her. Really mom!!! You do not even know this man. The look on his face was shock at her harsh words. Mine look was probably why did I ask her to come with me?  Later as we drive home she wants to know how I know this man.  MOM!!!! I paid him $40 to tell you I was wonderful!! He had explained where he knew me from.  Arghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have sworn she was drunk, or medicated, but I was too busy laughing at it all.  People will believe my “quirky” personality is inherited. Uh… NO I was the free one on a buy one get one free deal that occurred when my parents decided they wanted to adopt a bouncing baby boy.  TRUTH!!!
