The april fools bug hit me early this year, because although today was seamless and quiet on the pranking front, a couple of days ago I was on a roll, and I should thank my lucky charms, those nearest and dearest to me are very indulgent of my madness.
Jim’s cell phone broke, so while his new one was on its way, he was sporting the purple flowered lotus that generally finds its home in my back pocket. I can’t even blame it on boredom, but regardless, I got a mischievous desire to create a new AIM screename and txt my phone messages as if I was some…er…random guy he didn’t know about. Poor guy, I don’t deserve him, because not only was he not jealous or remotely suspicious, but he honestly didn’t mind…figured it was just some friend of mine. He both and equally assumes my popularity and trustworthiness are staggering. The latter one is more true.
While we both got a good chuckle out of it, I moved on to a much more entertaining target. My sister Liz: The girl is a txting fiend and lives with her qwerty in front of her nose, so this was much more deserved. I sent a veritable hailstorm of txts trying to get her to go out on a date with me (by me I mean “tall dark and handsome”). I was just low key and believable enough to convince her it wasn’t spam, but outrageous enough to be telling her how divine her hair looked that day. She meanwhile was freaking out and forwarding all the txts (my txts) to me asking me what she should do and if I knew this guy. When she finally did figure it out, we were both rolling with laughter. It felt good to laugh, and now you know if you receive any txts from “surfinsandieog80″ it’s probably my alter ego.The test results came back on my mom and she was positive for Hepatitis C and CMV, and negative for Leukemia. The cancer tests aren’t conclusive without a bone marrow biopsy, but for now she’s just going to wait and see if everything will eventually recover.
I am hopeful and optimistic, and I promise the update on her is true and not a prank. (this is Esther speaking not surfinsandiego80).

stinking funny
Your pranks are hilarious! Praying for your mom. Good to hear it’s not cancer. Will continue to pray.
I rarely put comments, but I’m out here. That doesn’t make me a stalker, does it? j/k I just never take the time, but I do care and that’s why I keep reading my friend’s posts on so many sites and then run off to do the things I HAVE to do.
