Oh yes, and 12 days until my birthday. Not too stoked about that, seeing as how the only thing I have to look forward to is more gravity!! Getting older SUUUCKS...
For my birthday weekend, Madalene suggested that we go camping in the Santa Cruz mountains. I have only been camping once..and it was horrid! There were bugs everywhere, the temperature was always in the 80's by the time it was daylight (all time high that weekend was 118!!), and there were NO OUTLETS!! Plus, I had my first ever encounter with a porta-potty (shudder). Word of advice, don't look down the hole (those are NOT tree roots!) and for god sakes, bring hand sanitizer, lots of it!!
Traumatic experience aside, I agreed to go camping...mainly because if I couldn't stand it, I could just hop in my car and be home in an hour! Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who have the same idea and all of the ideal places are booked. Hmmm...was it a sign? God's birthday gift to me? So, I may just spend my big day cleaning my room up and packing some more.
Someone once told me that your 30's are the best years in life....I will reserve judgment on that for now!
well I been busy, too, doing my own moving,sort of. I wanted to get rid of the recliner in the living room for a long time but my mom wouldn't let me. it was covered with mildew (and now doghair). so i shut april in the bedroom so she wouldn't escape and got the thing out the front door and to the street. i don't think i hurt my hernia too much. it sat out there for 3 days with no takers. then i put an "Only Ten Bucks" sign on it. next time i looked it was gone. next i thought i would find out what my mom had put in her great grandfather's seaman's chest.(treasure maybe?) I tried several keys until i found one that fit. i turned it and it broke off in the lock. so i got a hammer and chisel to pry it open and i almost killed myself because the chest wasn't locked. can a dog laugh? april did. in the chest? geneology stuff and some old photo albums. some pix of you, jen. you were so cute as a baby and i wasn't even 30 back then. now i'm depressed. love dad
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!! Dad, you should totally start your own blog!! That was hilarious!! You know you shouldn't be moving heavy things right? Also, can you send me copies of those pics? I need some proof when I tell my friends that I was a cute kid and they chuckle. ;P And you and mom are considered very young compared to my other friends' parents...really, some of them look like dried raisins!!
ReplyDeletep.s. Mom wants to know if you got a haircut yet?? She doesn't want you getting mistaken for the dog.
