A Mom Appreciation Post

It's fair to say that my mom is one of my closest friends. I mean, not in the Gilmore Girls kind of way, where she acts like she's my age and we get along 98% of the time. I mean, she's my closest friend in the sense that we're hanging out together most of the time, and we enjoy a lot of the same stuff, and she'd rather go shopping with me than with my sister... (what can I say? Lady's got taste!!). 
My mom isn't necessarily Lorelai Gilmore: all cutesy and quirky, but she's got her moments. Like when she makes those corny squeaky voices and pretends I'm three. Or when she tries impersonating me impersonating some character, like Hermione. She also isn't Rachael Ray or Martha Stewart or one of those women on TV who bake 24/7 and are crafty. She's a busy woman, but she's also a mean cook. I swear, she could take on Iron Chef Bobby Flay... sure he may be the King of Spices, but she's the Queen of the Kitchen.Today, for example she made some amazing guacamole. And when she's really in the mood, her lasagna and steaks and really anything she makes is awesome.
My mom is easily one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She's smart, creative, funny, strong and she is also very stubborn strong willed, not unlike myself. I think that ever since my parent's marriage entered this kind of Limbo we're in right now, we've become closer. I think that for the two of us it was like some kind of bonding agent. I've always supported her more than my dad, which I'm not entirely sure is right, but it always does seem like the right thing to do.


I LOVE MY MOMMY!!! :*
