I no longer have any nieces or nephews that are under the age of 18. Well, not counting the "unofficial" nephews and second generation nieces. Talk about feeling old. Here's Ryan graduating two weeks before his 18th birthday. Which he was lucky enough to celebrate in Hawaii. Bastard.
And just because she's cute, here is Saydee not caring about anything but her popsicle.
you make your daily pilgrimage to Starbucks and, while you are standing around waiting for your coffee, you notice two young girls also waiting for coffee. I thought to myself, "geez, my mom would have had a fit if she caught me drinking coffee in junior high". These girls then proceeded to grab their respective coffee drinks and get into their car and drive away. Wow. When did junior high kids start driving?? Anyway, I finally get my own drink and walk out to my car. As I approach my car, I realize that my car has a huge scrape along the rear fender. What the hell happened to my car?? And how the hell did I not notice it before? Maybe it just happened while I was in Starbucks? WTF? Oh, wait. This isn't my car. Oops. Yeah, I'm old.
My dad turned 70-years-old this past Wednesday. It's weird to think that I have a parent that is in their 70's. I think it's because my mom died so young. She will forever be 46-years-old in my mind. She will never be old and gray. Fortunately, my dad is a young 70. But still, it's sort of a reality check. He won't be around forever. He may not always be healthy either. To be honest, it kinda scared the shit out of me. As much as it sucks that I never got to know my mom on an adult level, I suppose the bright side (if there is one) is that I never had to watch her age or deteriorate. I literally can't image what she would look like if she were alive today, at the age of 65. Well, I can a little bit, because my aunt looks and sounds just like her. Although, she is 10 years my mom's junior. Yeah, it's just weird.
I finally made good on my threat. I chopped off my hair and donated it. I have to admit, at first I was shocked at just how short it was. However, now that it's flippin' HOT, I'm really glad I did it!
I was fortunate enough to attend the world premiere of Legally Blond The Musical this past weekend. During the intermission, people were whipping out their cameras and taking photos of themselves "self-portrait" style. Then he came along, with his red usher blazer, shining his little sliver flashlight in their faces. "Put the camera away!" he barked at them. He, being the camera nazi. He, being the epitome of crotchety. So, me being the smart ass that I am, had to whip out my own camera and take a picture of him. And now, I present you with the camera nazi.
