Curse the rain today! I was going to be SUPER cool and take the girls to the St. Patrick's Day parade but it doesn't look like that will happen! Oh well. I really hope that our Easter Egg festivities aren't ruined by rain though!
A few things I'm thinking about:
Did you guys watch LOST? Don't read on if you didn't. Did you BAWL your eyes out at the end? What in the HECK? Is Jin really dead? Help me out here - the stuff with Jin was a FLASHBACK and the stuff with Sun was a flash forward, right? I was not surprised that Michael was Ben's spy on the ship. I'm on the fence about Ben. I don't trust him. He seems bad to me. But I do trust Sayid and we know that when Sayid gets off the island he starts working for Ben. Why would he do that? I can't wait for that mystery to be solved. I'm also on the fence about Juliette. I like that she and Jack are together because I really want Kate and Sawyer to end up together. Jack really bugs me. Who do you think will die next week? Could it be Claire and that is how Kate ends up with Aaron? Or do you think that "Aaron" is Kate's baby with Sawyer? Gosh. This show is SO confusing - but I love it. =)
Last night the girls and I had a girls night out. We went out to eat at Red Robin and then came home and watched Bee Movie. It was pretty cute!
Keslie's new thing to say is:
"You are a mudder and daddy is a fodder and I am a cutie".
I am officially the worst daughter ever. I forgot my mom's birthday. And Alyssa's. Add in Amber's and Samuel's and Rachel's and Renee's and I'm feeling pretty pathetic. Some comfort please. Does anybody else have a problem with birthdays? I just seem to get worse and worse as the years go on.
I've decided to do the 10 years ago tag that's floating around.
10 yrs ago:*I was 16 and in my Sophomore year at Westwood. My parents had just gotten married and we had moved to Gilbert. My dad let me finish out that year at Westwood so I got to drive to school. Right about now I was probably getting busted for stopping to get ice-cream on my way home from school. RULE #1 - I was absolutely not supposed to drive anywhere but to and from school. I felt that my argument was pretty strong - Roseanne's (the ice-cream place) was RIGHT off the road so I was basically just stopping, not driving anywhere extra. I guess that was just the last straw - one time I ditched and drove somewhere for lunch and another time I gave some people a ride home. Plus I'm sure there were other things. 16 was not my best age. I was grounded until I completed 120 hours of work. =) Pretty harsh, huh?!! My dad was the best though - he'd take my sheet of paper with the hours on it and tear off 20 or so every once in awhile for good behavior. =) I was sort of dating Josh Henderson. Our relationship consisted of hanging out at school and talking on the phone. We were sure we were in love and going to get married someday. I don't know anymore. Does a 16 year old REALLY know what love is? I can't decide. I sure thought so at the time. Being 16 was just way TOO MUCH DRAMA. I guess 17 and 18 were pretty dramatic too. My journal is so funny (and humiliating) to read. One day I would HATE so and so and then the next I would LOVE them. One day someone would be my best friend and the next I would feel betrayed by them. Good grief! I'm SO glad that time in my life is over and that I grew up. =)

That's the end of that one.
So, I was reading this blog and this girl posted about how she had been having dreams about her 7th grade crush for the past several years and she finally found him using google and she SENT HIM AN E-MAIL. Just for closure, of course. But still - I found myself breathing a huge sigh of relief that I've never done that. Honestly - who hasn't had a dream or two about past loves/crushes? I've had several. Nathan knows. They aren't gross dreams - usually just hanging out and back in high school. But I wake up thinking things like - "Oh - I wonder how he's doing?! I wish I could just send him an e-mail to say hi - make sure he's happy." Or "GOSH - I HATE how that ended - it would be so nice to run into him and say the right thing for once instead of totally freaking out or send a note saying - sorry I was such a DORK". I do believe I'd like closure with lots of people - and not just guys. Sometimes I will remember something I did or said that might have offended someone - like 10 YEARS ago - and I think I should contact them and clear it up. Seriously - if they are still thinking about something like that 10 years later then they are mental. Since I'm still thinking about it - I must be mental. Anyway - what do you think? Do you think it's okay to be "friends" with men besides your husband? That sounds weird of course you'll have male friends - but I mean the kind that you e-mail, talk to on the phone, maybe go out to lunch with occasionally? I think it's okay to be friends as a couple. For example - I consider Steve S. my buddy but I'd never call him up and chat or hang out with him just the two of us. It would ALWAYS be in couples. I might be overly strict - Nathan knows that I don't want him driving alone in a car with another woman - even if they are just carpooling to the same place. It's not that I don't trust him. I just think it would make him a little too comfortable being alone with someone else. And I think that's how things start. Whoa - that was some serious rambling.
I'm off to help the girls get their toys cleaned up! They've been busy pretending all morning!
Have a great day!!
