[Okay, I legitimately thought this published on Sunday. So we're just having this be a little belated.]
A quick tribute to Karen, the woman that gave me life. Here are some of my favorite moments/memories with her:
1) The time I was sick and missed the premiere of Cheaper By the Dozen (the remake) with all of my friends. Mom made me stay home but popped popcorn and rented the Lucille Ball version of the movie. (I would later discover this is the far superior version anyway).
2) The year she wore this for Halloween. To her work.
3) The year I had my birthday party on April Fool's Day and she made an Angel Food cake with cotton balls. She laughed and videoed me as I unknowingly consumed several bites, trying to understand why everyone was laughing.
4) Every year after my birthday, we'd go on a shopping spree together with all my acquired birthday cash. I'm terribly indecisive—there's no way a full day of tween wardrobe shopping could have been fun for her. But she always pretended to be excited—our tradition of California Pizza Kitchen probably played a large part in that...
5) The other day when I was texting her in Starbucks about a cute guy sitting at the table next to me:
She always knows what to say (or not say).
Thank you, mom. Love you.
