i came down to south florida for father's day weekend...when my cousins plans to come down from dc were finalized, my uncle said that it would be a nice father's day present to have us all here....so here i am. but my other cousin has some overnight basketball camp thing this weekend, which he left for today...he'll either be back saturday (if they lose) or sunday. so much for having us all here...
i went out for lunch with a friend to max's grille today...i was surprised when he mentioned it, because ive always known it to be a sort of upscale, fancier place. i felt bad because i didnt have anything nice to wear. our server recognized me from high school. i recognized her too, but i didnt know her name. it was a surprise, because i feel like people wouldnt usually remember me. especially since i wasnt ever friends with this girl. then i found a dead lady bug in my salad. i wasnt grossed out or anything, but i said something about it because i figured i could get a free meal out of it. and, no, thats not the jew in me coming out...its the college student. even though im not technically a college student anymore. most people who know me well enough know i dont like to make a fuss over things. but i just thought it was very strange to find a ladybug in my food, as opposed to the typical hair or fly. ladybugs are supposed to be good luck. i wonder if that still holds when you find a dead one?
i was kind of upset earlier this evening, but at dinner (my uncle, cousin, and i went over to my aunt's house for shabbat dinner. i thought it funny that i used my sweatshirt hoodie to cover my head to say the prayer over the candles.) it somehow came up in conversation that my cousin and i should be having fun, because these are the best times of our lives. so im trying to perk up, and im going out with friends now. hopefully it will be fun. but the point is that having dinner with my family, and talking with everyone made me change my attitude. i guess being with my family really isnt that bad. things change, i guess.
