I Like Scarves and Swear Words

So my niece turned 10 yesterday making me feel old and kinda sad. I saw that little baby take her first steps and now she thinks she can turn 10. At any rate, Happy 10th Birthday Breanna.

At her birthday party, I saw cousins that I had not seen in years. I also met their wives and children. My cousin George has a 7 yr old son, Anthony, that I just met for the first time yesterday. That's horrible! This is my family!! These are the people I should know well and be with when I am not workin or schoolin. It made me reevaluate how I spend my time & who I spend my time with. On the other hand, I do spend lots of time with my immediate family, they're a needy bunch. But that works out fine bc as Lilly and I have established, we're the kind that love to be needed.

I was thinking about Julian the other night because someone brought him up. I realized that he did not make me feel needed at all. It was as if I could come or go and it would not make any difference whatsoever. That kinda sucked. So I think it's important to have a balanced medium. I have also been in relationships in which I was expected to call every 5 seconds...too needy for even me.

Yesterday at work, Nikko and I took a party of 14 and a lady (in her late 50's) in the party ordered a bottle of our white house wine and I heard her say..."yeah this wine is pretty great, it's good if you don't want to get sloshed." I giggled behind her because like a child, I think it's funny to hear adults say things that you would not expect to hear them say. Hehehehehe...she said sloshed. That's a word I expect a 19-yr old pot-head say, not a 50-something year old socialite type hag.

I love when adults (especially really old ones) swear. It's a joy of mine. The older you get, the cooler it is to hear you swear. I'm about 22.5 years old now, I have earned my swearing rights in their entirety. It irks me to hear younger kids swear though; I find it disrespectful. It's not a one-sided thing, it's just that kids these days would swear at or in front of Jesus himself if they felt like it. I'm gonna do my damndest to raise some well-mannered mini-me's when or if I have them.

Did I tell you I love Jack Johnson?

Ally J insinuated that she would like to be on QOTD more often. She's always full of stupid shit to say, I just don't spend enough time with her, that's all. She said she wants to meet Lilly bc Lilly is always on QOTD. I'm with Lilly a lot though, we're practically platonically married.

LOL....Lilly just called me a scrotum...easily amused much?

The month of June is one month away everyone...Happy May.


QOTD
"We better find men who can cook or we're screwed."
-Lilly-

"Meghan & I were talking about how we secretly try to be extra funny in front of you so we can be on QOTD!"
-Ally J- (that was honest and funny A.J., landed you a spot on QOTD.)

"I have to practice my interested face."
-Lilly-

"Scrotums are a sin."
-Lilly- (girl's on a roll.)

"What? It's my favorite body of water!"
-Grinslade, talking abt the Rio Grande-
