Life Moments

So far in the last three days, I went to a concert on the beach, saw Snoop, Janet Jackson, NeYo, Jessica Simpson (who was having audible vocal issues), the Girls Next Door, and Pamela Anderson. That was really cool. What wasn’t cool is some dude who was drunk off his ass threw up on the parking shuttle bus. So nasty.

But then I saw Iron Man last night, which I have already stated in my review was awesome. Of course, when I went downstairs to check on my son at 2am, I realized that he decided to sneak out of his window and go to a party. Seventeen is turning into a really crappy year, and I don’t want to be that mother who is happy to see her son leave. He was already on restriction, and now he may not be able to see the light of day until he is 18 and out of high school next June.

Today has been slightly better. I hung out in Barnes and Noble playing around on the CPU. I then was engaged in a very interesting conversation about race with a gentleman who actually echoed a lot of my feelings that I wrote about in the Touchy Subject Post. He was a white gentleman, a Navy brat and he believes that America needs a healing too when it comes to race. It was refreshing.

So, now I am in the middle of the day and I pray and hope that everything is peaceful for the rest of the weekend and really for the rest of my life. I mean I can wish right?

On a much lighter note, it seems some civil servant stopped gossiping on the phone just long enough to push the button that has eased some of our financial woes. Now I can loosen up the purse strings a little bit, have a little fun, and begin to make sure that I am overly prepared for another rainy day. Of course once I am prepared, it probably won’t ever happen.

That’s Life!
