60 Things About My Mother
On Saturday, my Mom turned 60. In honour of her milestone birthday, we threw her a 60s themed birthday bash. I still cannot believe my Mom is 60. She doesn't look a day over 40!
Anyway, here are 60 Things About My Mother:
- My Mom is very youthful
- She doesn't look a day over 40
- She loves onion rings
- She's crazy about her four adorable grandchildren
- She's married to her best friend
- She's a lot more lenient with her grandchildren than she was with her own kids!
- She's FUNNY!
- Her laugh is contagious
- She smiles a lot
- She'll do anything for her loved ones
- She stands up for what she believes in
- Do not ever cross her!
- She's small, but mighty!
- She's been wanting an iPad, but keeps calling it an iPod!
- She's a fantastic cook, although she claims that she isn't
- She's generous
- She still pinches people's cheeks, even if they're adults (mine included)
- She's very friendly
- She's ADDICTED to Facebook
- She's brutally honest
- She's my best friend and worst enemy. LOL! Kidding! Sort of! :)
- She loves the Beatles, the BeeGees, the Carpenters and the Lettermen
- She loves sappy romantic comedies
- It wasn't until just a few years ago that she found out what the expression "Cut the cheese" meant!
- She hates being in the sun
- She's not a fan of swimming
- She's a neat freak
- Okay, maybe a bit on the obsessive compulsive side when it comes to the cleanliness and the state of the house
- She is very organized
- She has post-it notes all over the place so everyone knows what they're doing or what they need to do
- She makes the best "pancit" (Filipino noodles)
- She always threatens to bite chubby babies. You know the saying "Aww! He/she's so cute, I could bite him/her?" Well, Mom's guilty of having done that!
- She loves her three kids
- She loves British style fish and chips. Won't eat fish and chips unless served wrapped in newspaper
- Mom has a big heart
- She's beautiful
- She likes to feed people! She's Filipina! It's in her culture to want to always give people LOTS of food to eat when they visit!
- She loves dancing
- She doesn't drink (because she's a lightweight!)
- Did you honestly think I'd make you sit here and read SIXTY things about my Mom!?! :) I'm going to stop here and say...
Happy 60th Birthday, Mom!
We love you very much!

Happy 60th MOM! Wow! What a fun looking party - I love how you did all of the food. What a great theme :) I also love that she is addicted to facebook - I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, eh?! LOL.
MTM:
Hahahaha! I guess not! However, only one of us gets paid to be on there! LOL! :) xo

Happy Birthday to your Mom! I know she is a great lady - look at the fantastic daughter she raised.
Hope you all had a wonderful celebration together and I know your grandma was watching and smiling.
Happy Birthday to your mom! You're right, she is so youthful looking! Bert sent her a bday greeting on her fb. Looks like the party was a success! Great job with the theme and the food! Your mom is truly a generous, humorous and wonderful lady! Best wishes for many more birthdays!
What a great way to celebrate her 60th and it seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She seems like a beautiful person, inside and out--just like you! Happy Birthday to her!
Your Mother does look SO young. That bodes well for you.
Love the rainbow theme. I think that I was born at the wrong time, should have grown up in the 70's.
Your mother is so lucky to have a daughter that can come up with 60 great things (and more) to say.
Happy Birthday Evil!
