I cannot believe that next year my daughter will be a senior in hs. I can't believe she's turning 18 in a few months. Oh. My. God. Only parents will truly understand this "oh my God" feeling lol. Wow. This was the baby girl that used to fall asleep on my chest when she was a few weeks old. Who used to tug on my hand when I was in bed asleep, so I'd bend down and pick her up and put her in bed between me and her mommy. Who I'd take to the park by our house so she could feed the ducks, and pick flowers.
Ffs they grow up fast. In the blink of an eye.
You're going to lose people in your life, and realize that no matter how much time you spent with them or how often you told them you loved them, it will never seem like it was enough.
Hug the ones you love.
Wow. I'm flipping back and forth between Astros vs RedSox game, and Undercover Boss with Deion Sanders. Deion had me a little choked up lol, he's doing charity work for kids football teams in low-income neighborhoods. What an amazing guy with a huge heart, man. He gave a BUNCH of money to these kids and their coaches. He was actually crying at one point, which....I gotta admit was kinda strange, seeing Deion cry lol. Pretty amazing episode.

it still feels like its 1999 to me.. weird.
The recent suicides have left me with feelings of dread, hopelessness. I'm still in mourning from Chris Cornell's suicide. I saw him live once. I have just about every song he ever released, from Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, AudioSlave, and his solo career, before his suicide.
I don't understand. All these people, Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain....all of them had all this success, money, fame, friends. All three left behind children. I don't get it, at all.
But then I've been there before. I was just....temporarily insane I guess. I don't know how you can seriously want to kill yourself and make plans to go through with it unless your certifiably insane, at that moment. I've also been on the other end of it. I've lost a loved one to suicide. I was very, very close to her, and it has left me with a huge hole in my heart, in my life, that will never, ever be filled.
I really don't understand it though, the celebrities who have everything, who decide to end it all. I guess you can be surrounded by thousands of fans, I guess you can have thousands of followers and still feel completely alone and hopeless and friendless. That just blows my mind.

When a company you almost got a job with is being dragged through the gutter by the press, and you start to wonder whether or not they'll go bust soon, and having this company on CV, due to how [BEEP] its reputation has gotten, probably wouldnt have been so great.
I honestly can't help but feel like I dodged a massive bullet there.
I'M GONNA FIGHT 'EM ALL
A SEVEN NATION ARMY COULDN'T HOLD ME BACK.......
Sundays are boring.
There's a famous dry-erase board in my parents' house. Sort of between the kitchen and the living room, hanging on the wall. We've used it for years to count down the days until summer vacation. And to count down the days 'till we go on vacation. And to tell us where we're going when someone steps out. And occasionally to leave sarcastic, smart*** commentary on....whatever.
My parents are dog-sitting now for my aunt and uncle's dog. His name is Boo. He's not very friendly lol. He's a mixed terrier mutt, I'm guessing. It just takes him a reeeeally long time to trust, get used to new people.
So sometime today one of my kids wrote on the dry-erase board "Boo you suck".
My oldest daughter finally admitted to it lol. It was written with love. Everyone loves Boo. Boo just doesn't love everyone back.

I finally found one of those Coke bottles with my name on it. The highlight of my day. lol.
The world is so self-obsessed.
oooo, nice! my partner n I been travelling the country in just a pontiac montana with all but the two front seats removed. we built a wooden plank so we could put stuff underneath and sleep on top. has pretty ok room, but would love an RV. that top bit looks awesome; just that lil bit of extra space goes a long way
I have a similar fantasy and think an RV would be better. There is a youtuber that I watch who built one of those vans, and they seem like they'd be too cramped. It would also be annoying having to find places to shower, etc. I'd want one with a washer and dryer and everything. I figure if I were to do it, I might as well go all out!
My parents have an RV, and they use it all the time. They're not at all like they used to be. There are still dump stations of course but most of the time you can find an RV park with sewer and electric and water hookups, unless you're just out in the middle of nowhere hundreds of miles from civilization. My parents went all out lol. It sleeps six. Has a master bedroom, a washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, stove, burners, sink, kitchen with dining table, bathroom, separate shower, a huge water tank, two flatscreens, plus one outside, tons of storage underneath. It has two slideouts, so when it's parked it's huge inside.
It's not like camping at all, it's not like roughing it, at all lol. They keep trying to get me to drive it but so far I'm too chicken. It's as wide as it can legally be, and still be street legal. It barely fits in most lanes, and in some lanes it doesn't quite fit. It has regular, oversized brakes and airbrakes on top of that. I'd be afraid I'd wreck it the first time I drove it. Though my dad says I'd likely not do any real damage to it. If anyone cut in front of me (as stupid, ignorant people do lol) and I didn't have time to stop, I'd likely get a little scratch on the front fender while their car would be totaled. It looks a lot like this one...
