Well if mom doesn't appreciate them, let me know where to meet you so I can get one of those beautiful pastries!

Oh, and I know what you're saying about mom.... my grandmom was like that and hubby's father is too. Last night was a joy ...... he lectured the daughter who's a good kid that she has to "stay trim" and then praised the one who's turned into wild child on her fake tan (which is currently an unnatural shade of orange) Then he spent an hour telling us how we were late (we were told 6:00, NOT 5:00) and how maybe if he ate some of the fruit we put in the fruit basket we gave him he wouldn't be so heavy.
