Fog / No men here! / Mrs. Fields Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies

I forgot to blog that Justin's grandma is in hospital - sad news! My mom said that I might not be going on two cruises in two weeks - Steph said she might treat me to the second, so I guess we'll see on that one! Now Eric is online and bugging me about various things like dragon hamsters - why I keep him and Corey around, I do not know. I will say this: you can blame me for foggy windows, but your reasoning would be SO WRONG! :P

Mom also thought there was a man in my apartment when I was talking to myself... ha ha ha, nope! Then she asked whether I was sure: YES! Besides, I'm an adult now, so she can't say anything even if there WAS one here! Later, I mentioned that I was "talking" to Eric - her immediate reaction was to say in a confused tone that they saw Eric tonight (which I know quite well) and call me on my assertion that there was nobody else here but me. I think I know things better than she does, but it was still quite hilarious if a bit annoying!
