I took a quiz today about what my life will be like when I “grow up” on Facebook. And these are the results:
“You live in a mansion. You’ll make $900,000 a year. You own a limo. Your job will be either a doctor or scientist. Your husband/wife will be lazy, spoiled, attractive and social. You’ll only have one kid. You’ll die at forty because of alcohol. Yes, you’ll make it to heaven!”
Honestly, Im not sure how to handle that situation. There are only two things in that whole scenario that I wish would actually happen….you can guess which two.
DAR tonight….Damitra wants me to sit in the box, I said “no” then Adele Boyer calls me today, our state regent, asking me to sit in the box. I personally would rather sit at the bar…..wish me luck
For many years my friends have been pushing me to write a book about my life. However I refuse. Well this morning on the way to work I figured out the title for the never-to-be-published guide to my life. It will be “Riding in the car with my mom” I of course would have guest writers compose chapters of their experiences as well, like Jamie for example could describe her near death experience. But it would stem much farther than all the times my mother has tried to kill my friends. Today’s ride to work would definitely take up at least two chapters…..
“Did you watch Wimbledon yesterday?”
“No, mom I was driving home from the beach. Did YOU watch it?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Since when did you start watching tennis?”
“Since the second half.”
“Second half of what?”
“of the tournament”
“you watched the whole second half of Wimbledon?”
“yeah , it was only like 20 minutes.”
“No, no it wasn’t.”
“Yeah it was and I thought for sure Nadal was going to pull it off too”
“pull what off?”
“Win the tournament! What are you talking about?”
“he did pull it off, Federer lost to Nadal. What are you talking about?”
“are you sure?”
“yes”
“no, I don’t think so”
“yes, mom”
“Oh that’s right they tied”
“no, no they did not”
The only thing I hate more than watching sports with my mom is when she watches sports and then pretends she didn’t just see what happened. The chapter of course would be “The Apple tried to escape from the Tree”
And this chapter of the book will be about the things my mom makes up in her head and shall be named later…I am taking requests.
“Sarah, did you have fun getting home last night?”
“Well we had to walk home because her dad was alcoholic-ly drunk so it was awkward when I told her I wouldn’t ride in the car with him”
“Oh my God, did you get in the car?”
“what did I just say”
“Sarah, you could have been killed or worse”
“One: I just said we walked, and Two: what is worse than being killed?”
“this is serious, I don’t know if I want you going to bars if you’re going to make bad decisions”
“holy crap are you kidding me?”
“no, I am not. I think for the rest of the summer you should just stay home on the weekends”
“you’re insane”
“except for Jamie’s birthday. You can go out and celebrate that because I know she won’t let you drive drunk”
“You need help”
And on that note……..
JAMIE COMES TO VIRGINIA TOMORROW!!!!
In other news:
For some odd reason recently I have been receiving text messages from phone number 7794 giving me all the latest gossip news. It has been extremely annoying, who gives a flying flip about Brittney Spear’s 16 year old pregnant sister or Angelina moving to Paris to have her twins…..but today, well that’s another story. Sunday morning I received a text saying that “A-Rods’ wife claims that his relationship with Madonna is ‘more than friends’”. So then this morning on the way to work listening to the radio I felt very informative about gossip (for the first time ever) - anything to make mom proud.
Last night Marianne texted me a picture of the racing presidents. It made my day, then today while bored out of my mind at work I decided to go to the president’s webpage and play around. Under the picture of my favorite racing president, Teddy Roosevelt there was the following:
“Teddy is a mystery. Winless in ‘06, Teddy has become a crowd favorite among fans who seem baffled by his seeming inability to win. He’s got the skills, he’s got the drive, he’s got the brains, yet victory has been elusive. Maybe it’s his independent Bull-Moose spirit. Teddy doesn’t like to play by the rules. He’s been spotted in the Upper Bowl, or tossing t-shirts, or cruising in a golf cart, while his racing compatriots stick to the track. This has caused some resentment - some jealousy - from the other three. Will Teddy ever win? Pundits agree: Teddy will win. When Teddy decides to win.”
I love this guy.
This weekend was amazing! I haven’t been able to say that in a while due to the constant hustle and bustle that is my life. But this weekend was different. I spent Friday night at Lake Anna with Joe and Katie who are home on their American farewell tour before they leave me forever to live in Bosnia. So that was a good time, nothing says “summer fun” like drunken pontoon boating and midnight elderly skinny dippers. Katie needed to chat about a certain boy so we trekked by candle light to the middle of the lake in a paddle boat, which was exceptionally fun. Then Joe needed a chat so we made the same adventure only five minutes later. The trip took me two hours to get there (including being lost) and only 30 minutes to get home…….go figure.
Then Saturday was an experience of a lifetime to say the least – the very least. Marianne and I along with others attempted this charity event. We dressed up as Scooby Doo gang members and headed into the city to scavenge for things and complete tasks. I will say that my only have guy friends growing up helped with the transformers challenge. It was a lot of fun, but exhausting. I am pretty sure it was in the 90’s and humid as ever, I have not been that hot since who knows when. Plus side – I am no longer pasty white. On our way to the event Marianne and I were the object of everyone’s stares seeing as she was wearing a dog costume and I had on bright red shorts with a wig and glasses and an orange shirt with matching neon knee high socks. I will however say that as the day went on Velma began loosing articles of clothing….hair, turtle neck, glasses, etc….haha
Then Sunday was needed for resting. My body played a mean trick on me and when I first woke up at 6AM I felt amazing! So dad and I went to the gym like every other morning however when I got on the climber thing I couldn’t move my legs. They were jelly, mush, goo, butter. The trainer told me to try sit-ups on the bouncy ball – nice try. I didn’t even think we used stomach muscles on Saturday but apparently we did. After about 20 minutes of amoeba-ing across the gym floor I ended up going home and literally passing out on the couch until about 4PM so I got a pretty decent 8 hour nap….
I woke up this morning, bright and cheery and mom and I went to the gym before work – and my jello legs were back to normal. Thank God
Marianne and I learned a new drinking game that is HYSTERICAL! I taught it to my parents last night HOWEVER they had apparently already heard of said game and were exceptionally good at it. This, of course was very disappointing to me. I am very excited because I think this game will be a fabulous addition to the party on July 12. J
Dear Sarah:
In case you haven’t been able to tell by the recent activities in your life, I hate you.
love,
God
p.s. You’re crazy foreign Kennedy loving grandparents are coming to visit for 10 days….better brush up on your Gaelic
Friday night granddaddy called and said he was going out of town for the night but grandma and I were going out to a late dinner with her old friend. The dinner included me, grandma, her friend Suzan and Suzan’s grandson Jeffrey Alton. Jeffrey was giving us a riveting tale about this wedding he recently attended where the bride wore cowboy boots under her wedding dress. He was appalled. “How someone could have such a lack of respect for themselves, their guests and fashion was beyond him.” (well so are a lot of other things too I’m guessing) Before I could say a word grandma says “Sarah wears boots, when she works sometimes but if her husband hated them she would never wear them again.” “Jeffrey smiled and asked “oh is that so?” Grandma smiled. Suzan smiled. While rolling my eyes I said “I’m definitely getting married on a dude ranch”
On Saturday I went back to school to get some papers signed for my Diabetes Walk and to also celebrate Kristie’s 21st birthday - which both ended in success I believe. The tragedy began Friday night when I spent it at Casa de Matrimony (AKA with the grandparents) After we returned from dinner the only thing Grandma tells me is that I better get back early on Sunday because they “have arranged a lunch”
Now in my “sleep deprived/annoyed beyond all reason” state I should have seen this coming however giving them the benefit of the doubt I thought they meant a lunch that I would attend and while probably be bored out of my mind at, but nothing more than that. WRONG. When I got back to their house Sunday morning about 10AM there were several cars parked on their lawn, and about 40 people chilling on the porch. Of course silly me thought lunch would be around noon and I would have time to shower and change clothes before people arrived, WRONG. I popped in wearing a tank top and gauchos and needless to say Damitra was ‘thrilled’ with my appearance.
After changing and returning to this little shindig grandma introduced me around and I smiled and then sat in the library with Granddaddy because that’s where we hide when she does things like this. Well Damitra found us and introduced me to this very nice gentleman. (barf) and she asked if I would take him down stairs and show him around the game room. Sure, why not. So “Fred” (I am calling him Fred because his real name would be too much insanity for one tumblr entry, but needless to say it’s a short last name) and I went down into the game room and we ended up playing pool. I am not good at pool, but I am less good at being annoyed by old people upstairs so he went first and pretty much wiped the table with me. Which normally I would have been fine just watching, but every time he would get a ball in (and I of course did not) he would comment on how “it’s all in the shoulder” or “it’s not hard you just have to try”, “anyone can do it”. Always insinuating that I was not trying, which in all honesty I was not. So that got OLD real quick. By the time I was annoyed he had taken off his jacket and revealed the funniest farmers tan I had ever seen.
Me being the person that I am commented on how tan is lower arms were and how not tan any other part of him appeared. He said “oh yeah, it happens when you start working”. (Of course it does you condesending little prick haha) All that hard work just goes straight to your arms. So yeah that was it and I went upstairs back to the library about a millisecond passed when Damitra returned with a big smile, looked at me and said “well?” And I said “well what grandma?” “Do we have a boyfriend?” And after that I had nothing, I still have nothing, and nothing seems to be popping into my mind about how to explain this to grandma. How exactly does one explain to someone who is clearly suffering from dementia or some other eccentric disease that in no way does a 20 minute game of “I’m better than you at pool” constitute a date, and even if it did, in no way would a boyfriend result from it.
So today was a very exciting day for Marianne. She got to witness the King Street Twins. I have been talking about them and their matching clothing and backpacks for weeks now, and i have yet to have the pleasure of showing someone else….until today that is. We were walking to lunch (which was extra delicious today because the ban on tomatoes is over) when I spotted them and thank god I didn’t laugh out loud or anything silly like that! or did I? haha yeah I did. Life in Alexandria is pretty special today (except for the serious lack of diet coke in our office) :)
