Happy Day Dad @ MindSay

So I sell my tickets to the Red Sox game tonight because I have too much wedding stuff to get done before the big day on Saturday.  I've had nothing but bad luck in terms of attending good Sox games that they win in, and the weather looked less than stellar anyways.  Well guess what?  The weather cleared up, an amazing pitchers duel, and the Sox walk off in the ninth.  What the hell...

On another note, I was one foot out the door to work this morning when my 16 month old son starts calling :"dad, dad, dad."  I look back and I say "yeah what's up?"  The kid hands me my cell phone.  I swear to god I was speechless.  Not only would that have been the ultimate pain in the ass to have to go back and get my phone, putting off my work schedule all day, but the kid shows some big-time awareness.  16 months old people.  Safe to say he is more than a little bit smarter than his father.  If only the kid knew how to sleep now...

happy veteran's day? i don't really know any veterans-so it's basically just a day off from school on monday for me.


my dad wants me to mow lawns with him. and i didn't want to say it, but dude. no. i'm not mowing lawns? jesus. do i look mexican to you? jeez. but it is a lot of money involved. but really. mowing lawns? i mean. gah. someone's going to ask what job i have and i'll say 'mowing lawns with my dad'. holy crap good one becca. fucking poor or what? who the hell mows lawns? people can mow their own lawn. for free. and i don't even know how to work a lawn mower.

i told him i'd think about it though. seeing as there is a whole lot of money involved.


and i've decided on doing basketball managing instead of winter track. i'm thinking i'll help more people managing basketball than running winter track. but i'm still somewhat split.
1. i know nothing about basketball. but i just want to help any way i can.
2. girls' basketball or boys'? at first this wasn't even a thing. but then a friend asked me which one i'd be doing and i was like wow i could do boys' basketball. but then i was like wait a minute what's wrong with doing girls'? but i don't know. boys' could be a lot more fun, simply because they're guys. but then again, i'd rather be on a bus full of chicks, you know. ;-)




and that's what's up now.

Things were looking up again today.
I had a moment of happiness that made me remember hope. I was at home for dinner with my parents. I always have such a good time with them. My mom and I laughing at my dad being silly. My dad and I playing show-me with our food at the dinner table while Mom is not looking... acting like children. Then right before I left my dad put a song on the record player that he used to play for me when I was a little girl and he'd dance around with me. The song was "We built this City" by Jefferson Starship. When I was little I thought it was sooooo cool that I knew all the world to a rock-and-roll song. And I still did. My dad and I danced around like we used to. It was fun.
Sad all the same though. I miss the innocence of childhood. I wonder how the price we pay for maturation became innocent fun.
Not going to ruin it....
I got a certain boy's phone number today from someone so that I might call him to ask him out. Hoping to break my relationship cycle.

Today was a lazy day, I never even got dressed of left the house.  It could have been better, but it wasn't bad.  I spent the majority of the day on the phone with Derek.  <3  While I was sad I didn't get to physically be with him, it was really great just to talk and joke and laugh together on the phone.  And I know that I'll see him next week.  <3

Other then that, I didn't really do much today.  I watched most of game 1 tonight with my dad, but the Astro's lost. :(  I'm obviously not a big baseball fan, or a fan of any sport, really.  But my dad grew up in Galveston and asbsolutely loves the Astros, so it's kind of exciting that they're playing.  I hope for his sake that they win the series. (and for callmeroger :P) Really though, the highlight of the game for me was the Josh Groban sang the national anthem.  I <3 Josh Groban.  So sexy, and God that voice! After the game, my dad and I made a cake since tomorrow is his birthday. 

Ugh, I always get the tag suggestion "happy dad day". 

After the game and cake, I mostly went back and forth talking to Derek and Alyssa until now.  It was a pretty low key day, but I'm content.  And now I need to go to sleep so I can get up tomorrow and go to church.
Life is good.
