being the new kid in the quarter

Mar 21, 2005 00:27

so

it is very rough being the new kid at a job, but i am trying to stay positive
the money is about the same as it was at f&h , just the food and clientele are better

i really like the south
alot
bridget and i went to see my mom today
she was in a great mood
the three of us were out back in her garden and my mom was telling us how when she was young
she was afraid of dragon flies because someone told her they would sew your mouth shut and no one could open it

i mean thats horrible
but we all laughed and my mom was genuinely sweet to Bridget
and we picked on bridget cos her middle name is blanche
and we felt happy and close and normal for a small space in time
then we went upstairs to visit nana
which we had to do mainly cos i had this dream last night
that nana moved back to new jersey and sent me all these letters saying how she regretted ever coming to louisiana and how angry she was and in the dream i was so distraught i was trying to buy tix to move to new jersey cos i missed her so much
well
the weird thing was i told her about the dream and she said she had gotten in a fight the day before with my mom and said those exact same things
so we have esp cos she is my love

anyway, then we went to cutoff and i had the best dinner i have had thus far this year like honestly
if there were oscars for best dinner for heather in 2005, this would win hands down
well first when i woke up i had cinnamon toast crunch but that wasnt part of my great meal
and wtf all general mills cereals now are whole grain and 75% reduced sugar and sweetened with splenda
how am i supposed to get high now?
anyway back to my amazing meal
bridgets dad grilled me a ny strip steak in a cast iron skillet outside
and i covered it with roasted garlic cloves, olive oil and parmesan cheese
and ate it with evangeline white bread which i believe you can only get in cutoff
and i had three glasses of cabernet with extra ice
and some coconut flan that bridgets sister dana made
and count em three blue bunny brand mississippi mud ice cream sandwiches
and at the end of this meal
i was very very happy.
also bridgets mom kept telling me i looked very "slim" which also made me happy

this is what we listened to on the drive home:

Better Than Ezra A Lifetime lyrics

Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?
When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.
When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
