Every time I hear a new Green Day song or see a new Green Day video, I am 13 again. I am sitting in the apartment my mom, sister and I lived in during summer vacation. I am listening to Dookie. I am watching MTV non-stop, waiting for for the NEXT Green Day video to come on. I am on the phone 8+ hours a day with my boyfriend at the time, or I am online in a local BBS chat room, talking to online friends… typing Green Day lyrics back and forth with a friend who lived in Houston, crushing on a guy who kinda looks a bit like Billie Joe & actually gave me the time of day. I am wishing I had enough money to buy that copy of Kerplunk! I see everytime I go to Blockbuster Music. I am also trying to find a copy of 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, which is nearly impossible to find… and when I do find it in a CD Warehouse-type store (except more indie and much cooler) in Addison, the world is ending because my mom won’t give me the money to buy it.
I did eventually get that copy of Kerplunk! I spent birthday money on it. We went right back to Blockbuster Music, where it had been but no longer was. I FREAKED OUT. They looked it up in the system, and the computer said they had it. They had to go dig around in boxes for it. I also got the copy of 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. I threw a tantrum of EPIC proportions when we were back in the car, and I don’t remember why my mom gave me the money for it, but that she did. I had to run back into the store and get it, wiping tears off my cheeks.
to all the moms out there. I know some great ones.
This weekend was a mix of good and not so good, but I’d call it a success over all.
We woke up on Saturday and actually DID something. Not anything very exciting (took the car in for an oil change), but still. Something! While waiting for the car to be serviced, we went to breakfast at Mimi’s Cafe. I’ve been CRAVING their pancakes something awful for a while. I keep thinking I’m going to go in the morning before work, maybe on a Monday since I go in a little later, but it never happens. After breakfast, we went home & waited for the call to come pick the car up. After we picked up the car, we ran some errands and explored the little bit of Fremont near the shopping center and Fry’s. Um, in case you were wondering, there are no hidden gems that we found. What you see is what you get. LOL I got some stuff at JoAnn’s for a couple of projects I’m working on, and then we came home and chilled out for a bit. Joe had a party to go to & I had some things to do, so we did our own thing for the evening.
Today did NOT start out very wonderful, but I spent the first 2 hrs or so of being awake FREAKING OUT. Everything’s okay, but it was definitely not a good way start the day. It’s shaken me up all day today. Vague, I know, but I don’t feel like getting into it.
Anyway, after all that cleared up, it was a pretty laid back day. I ended up being exhausted after the emotional rollercoaster of the morning, so I ended up taking a nap. I woke up & we went to Costco to get pizza (yum!). When we got home, I called my mom & wished her a Happy Mother’s Day just as she was sitting down to dinner. rofl. Oops. We watched Quantum of Solace (eh. Honestly, I wasn’t really paying much attention), so I can send that back to Netflix.
I’m kinda tired, so I expect that I’ll be going to bed soon. How was your weekend?
