Oh, MIL...

My MIL is odd sometimes.

She loves to send cards in the mail, which is thoughtful and appreciated. But here are a few things she's done lately that make me go (I love this face).

*She sent us an anniversary card one year late. Yes, that's right - a full year late. Therefore, she sent us TWO anniversary cards this year right in a row.

*She sent us an Easter card today, on July 1st. She said she found an old stash of holiday cards. I guess she was just sending a "Thinking of you" type note that happened to be in an Easter card...? I have no idea, but I opened it up and thought she'd lost her mind at first.

*She also sends us coupons for products DH used to use when he was in high school, despite telling her he no longer uses them any more. The conversation usually goes like, "Thanks for the 25 cents off coupons, Mom... But I haven't used Dove soap in 10 years."

I can totally relate to the third one. MIL will tell me about DH not liking something so I'll never make it. Then when he asks me to make it, I'm confused and it turns out that he didn't like when he was 10...but he's now 36, so tastes change.

My favorite is how I was trying to make sure I bought only the right kind of laundry detergent so DH wouldn't get a bad rash like MIL said he would. Turns out, he was allergic when he was a BABY. Oy!

I should start Doug that. Cards would be a lot cheaper if I bought them after the holidays!

Otter - That's funny about the rash!

Ala - You have a thing for Doug lately, don't you?

WTH? I must!
