Hey everybody! I just got back from meals on wheels. It's so sad because my two favorite people there died last year, and so going back there for the first time this summer is just depressing. As we sit, riding in the car, I feel like we should be stopping to see them. But we aren't..because they aren't there. One lady was Mrs. Watts, and she always called me her "special friend," always telling me how much she loved me, always giving me hugs. And then there was Mr. Forrest Renslear (I LOVE the name Forrest) who had a tattoo of Mickey Mouse on his arm and who had this dog who was his best friend and would always get so excited when my dad and I gave him mints. His face would always light up when I came with my daddy, and he would always ask about me when I wasn't there. I think old people are seriously the nicest people. Every little thing makes their day. And then today this one lady Eddie wasn't at her house. The door was opened so we just put her food on the table. It's such a weird feeling walking around somebody's house, not knowing if they're home or not. Eddie is such a sweet little old lady. I remember once she said, "You're so beautiful..and your dad's not bad either!" So, when I came home, I said to my mom, "One of the ladies was flirting with dad!" haha! Seriously--old people just have this way about them to make you feel good about yourself. So if you ever feel bad about yourself, just go visit a nursing home or something, and the ladies there are sure to say, "Oh you're so pretty--you're so darling!" LOL.
Today I saw this guy walking his cat! LOL. That totally made me laugh! His cat had a leash on and everything!! If I had a camera with me, I would've totally taken a picture..haha!
Today I'm seeing "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" for the second time with Chris (Monika and I told him he had to see a chick flick, LOL), Monika, and Margaret. Laura told me she might come for dinner so that she can give me the "traveling necklace." OMG--I am so excited about that :o) That's totally gonna make my whole summer!! We are gonna send a necklace back and forth between us and then write about the most exciting thing that happened while wearing the necklace. Hopefully that will bring me some luck this summer and that I'll have some memorable moments wearing that necklace that I'll remember forever.
Yesterday was boring like none other. I spent like 3 hours making a scrapbook page filled with "One Tree Hill" quotes because I was bored. And it's pretty cool looking if I do say so myself, lol.
Tomorrow Sean Puscas and I might be seeing "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"...I hope that's fun. He sent me this song online yesterday from a band no one has ever heard of, so i just figured i would leave you with that:
By Seven Sharp Nine
My silly words cannot breathe enough
I fear that what you yearn
Has yet to fall from these unvaried lips
Teach me to use words that burn
See me learning
Who you are and what I now know is wrong
Please believe me
I will be all the words that you need
I search for a phrase and when I fail
Still you know what I say
How could you get to know this man - despite his solemn way
How did you get to know who I am
See me learning
Who you are, and what I now know is wrong
Please believe me
I will be all the words that will feed you completely
The meaning is there, what I lack is the means to truly tell you
How I feel
Wait for me patiently
I will say things complete
I will be all the words
That you need
I remember the day you stopped asking
For me to say something sweet
I felt me lose faith in me - in how I reveal
How could I fail to show you how I feel
I am learning
Who I am and what I now know is wrong
Please believe me
I will be all the words that will feed you completely
The meaning is there - what I lack is the means to truly tell you
How I feel
Don’t give up on me
