Birthday June 25, 2007 ~ 1:08 pm
Posted by Julie in : Fambly , trackbackMom’s birthday weekend is over, and I think it was a pretty good one, if I do say so myself. I gave her presents, I took her out to dinner, I fixed her TiVo, and I set up her new cell phone. In return, she flew me home and back, took me to see a show at the Pittsburgh Public Theater, took me to Gettysburg to see my uncle Norm, and took me to Red Lobster. A good weekend all around, especially the part where we got to see Norm - I haven’t seen him in at least 6 years, possibly as many as 8. We had a great time reconnecting over our mutual love of history, photography, and beer. I blame him for my interest in the first two of those three, the third is Rick’s fault and just turned out to be a bonus.
Pictures were taken, but since I am definitely my uncle’s niece, I completely forgot to get a picture of the three of us (he is legendary for not taking pictures of people - he took about 15 rolls of film during our trip to London in 1989, and exactly one picture out of those 15 was a picture of me because my mother insisted on it). Pictures should be up on Flickr tonight if I can get my shit together.
Now to get back into the work groove. For the next three hours.

Work’s over. Go home and upload pictures now.
Sounds like a great time! It was so nice of you to fix your mom’s electronic stuff.
When you said you went to Gettysburg, I was thinking the battlefield. Then you mentioned Norm and I’m thinking you had an ancestor killed at the battle. Which would make him hard to drink with, wouldn’t it.
Vince~We did in fact go to the battlefield with my uncle, who is currently living. However I firmly believe that in a past life *I* died in the battle of Gettysburg. This trip I took pictures of the place where I died.
Aims~Your wish is my command. Buttloads of pictures on Flickr.
What a good kid you are - you up for adoption????
I’m going to call you Diagnostic Julie. Such a clever kid your mom done made.
Seamus~I’m sure my mom would be willing to do joint custody.
Kendra~This is why you have kids, isn’t it? So they can explain tech to you? Well, that and free slave labor…
