no she di'ant!

Sunday Jordin and I went out to eat lunch and to the mall. I bought so much stuff.... what fun! I spent a little more than I should have but it was well worth it. It was so good to spend time with my sister. She really has no idea how entertaining she is to be around. I wish we could hang out more often. Sunday night my sweet husband went WAY out of his way. My battery was almost dead and he was worried my car wouldn't start in the morning for work. He decided at 11:30pm after Freddie and him were done installing speakers in the garage, or "man cave" as he calls it, to go to wal-mart and buy me a new battery. He ended up having to fin my car in his underwear at 6:30am the next morning... but that is another story. Anyways, he walks out of wal-mart to his bar and there is a note folded up on his door handle. If you are shelter or easily offended please stop reading now. *****I am not shitting you..... this is EXACTLY what this note said..... this is a direct quote....... "Saw you go in store-- you are hot!! want a blow job? Just sit back & enjoy...will swallow-- meet at old ferry landing (court st near levee)- come up-who would know?"
WTF????? Who would put this on someones car?????? Nick said he felt like he was being watched and someone was going to kill him. There are truly some crazy ass people in this world. No telling who this crack whore is but I feel sorry for her! It got my head swiveling and me saying "no she di'ant!"

On to the next thing...My Monday started out pretty funny. I get to school and the first thing out of one of my kids was "Mrs. Cicero.... I got a Lil boosie fade this weekend....you like it?" He was referring to his new hair cut. I just thought it was funny because of the way he said it. I didn't even know who Lil boosie was. I later found out that he is a rapper. Anyways, Monday afternoon I get a call from Nick. He was supposed to go to the Citizen Cope concert with his buddy who could not make it. He knows I am a grandma in bed by 9:00 on Mondays especially because I have duty at 6:50 on Tuesday. I felt sorry for him and guilty about all the work he did on my car so I decided to go. We went and ate dinner at Chimes and headed in. We sat at the balcony. We had the best seats in the place. The opening band was amazing! I wanted to buy their CD but it is not out yet and I really don't know the name of the band. The women sounded like Amy Winehouse but better! I could have left then and been totally happy. Citizen Cope was amazing too. We had so much fun! We have been together for over 8 years and have been to very few concerts together. That was by far the best one I have been to and in the top 10 list of best "dates" ever. maybe top 20. Anyways, this is all part of my goal of becoming more fun. I have realized within the past few years that I am a homebody. sp?? I really don't like to get out much if at all. Nick on the other hand loves going out. I am really making an effort to do more... it usually turns out to be really fun. I am glad he got to see his concert and we got to have such a fun night. I love my man! Tuesday on the other hand was a bit of a trainwreack. I was so tired. But, my new motto for life it "I will get plenty of sleep when I'm dead". And it is so true. I need to quit being so responsible and worrying about everything I have to do and how many hours of sleep I will get and let lose. Jordin even convinced me to buy skinny jeans and showed me how to wear them! thanks Jo, I am now a bad ass! :)

Hopefully the beautiful weather will hold out and everyone will have a good weekend. I have been oober-productive this week and I am looking forward to whatever comes my way this weekend.

I also got some sad relationship news tonight about someone. I hope I helped. I just think about my relationship and how it IS hard sometimes. Everyone goes through rough patches but it is how you get through those patches that speaks volumes. I am not always good with words but I wanted to throw this in to remind anyone who reads this that true love is rare and precious. Don't wait until it is too late to tell people how you really feel. Silence can be a dangerous thing in relationships. This life is really too short to "wait and see". Lets all do our best to let our loved ones know that they are loved. I am going to go and kiss my husband now.

I found this quote which puts to words exactly what I think... and it happens to be from St. Augustine.... ironic?

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
-St. Augustine
