Two Good "Grandma-isms"

There are so many times that I talk with Grandma, and she says something that's just incredibly blog-worthy; without paper to write it down, the little gems rarely stick in my mind long enough to get my fingers to the keyboard.  However, today I was slick!  When Grandma dropped the first of what would be two perfect Grandma-isms, I grabbed a Post-It note to document it word-for-word!  These are worth their weight in gold; trust me!

Ok, so here's the first one.  We got to talking about Sunday's race, and she said "Oh, I'll be so tired!"  Yes, you read that right; she will be so tired!  Love it!  Then, just a minute or two later, she said "I'm just getting prepared."  Yup, she is getting prepared for the race!  Honestly, is she not the most awesome Grandma out there?!

I plan to do what I did at SoMo: call Grandma for a pep talk before the race.  (There aren't many people who won't mind getting a phone call before 6am; she's one who falls into this category!  Heck, some days she's up at 4am, so 5:45 is "late" to her; by then, she's already had 1 or 2 cups of coffee and some breakfast.)  Then, once the race is over, I'll give her another call to update her on the happenings.  Heck, if I get to a point where I decide to walk a lap, I might just grab the phone and give her a call during the race!  Only Grandma could get that to happen!
