Monday May 30th 2011 @8:16pm ( memorial day…and other thoughts) )

yesterday… weird  phone conversations last night planning today… but this morning was alright… i woke early… headed to Publix and  bought  a feast….  it was funny when i was checking out … over  the loud speaker… when they play songs.. the store actually had playing that   song by michael bubale… who sings the song on this website… the   song about “Just  haven’t  met you yet” …     isn’t  that just a hoot…  t it actually got e excited for a great day… and when i got home after  a few chores.. i was on the treadmill…  and played a ton of cd’s that I  hadn’t heard in a long while.. its funny how you remember all the words to those old songs from  college isn’t it?HA!  

i actually saw a retired priest form st john’s catholic church… and when i bought the  wick pick lotto and powerball tickets..Powerball is somewhere in the 2 hundred million….   i almost went over and asked him to bless them… but i didn’t have the nerve… 
.
for today’s meal… got lamb and chx. came home… make side salads.. then marinated the chix in the  mustard and herbs provenance  sauce… and made a lamb crusted herb coating for  the lamb…    had the asparagus. and potatoes… ready… and of course a b-day cake for my mom since  there is a possibility that i may not get to see her  for her b-day since she is going on a reunion for  some of the Aramco housewives…. around her b-day…. and what was really weird the past few years.. is that  i never get to actually speak to any family member on  holidays and b-days.. probably for the past 8 years… and now everyone has celebrations on the wrong days…. for b-days…  so i wanted to make sure she got a cake.. and a nice dinner.. and i guess i was hoping we could  almost have another great  day like we had   when we got to watch movies all day.. and got to  just have girl talk .. and to visit….  to have a friends  to talk to .. to share  memories..and to make great new memories… but especially got to laugh.. and be positive.. and to  have a really nice day…

my entire life used to be filled with days like that…  maybe i was just nieve  not noticing if people cared or not… i guess i always cared so i assumed that everyone was authentic and    genuine…  i never saw if anyone had an agenda.. or was using me for a part in their own agenda…. or if they actually genuinely liked me.. or maybe i had people who actually reallly did like me.. loved me..  and enjoyed being  my friend .. and hanging out… spending  time with me and never looked at her watch to see when the time would have to be over… but then i guess someone like that isn’t a genuine friend  right?   

Have you ever noticed that so many people have their own agenda.. that there aren’t that many people who are selfless?…  not just  the ability to give presents.. or even give of time.. but to give truly of themselves.. to be totally honest… to be  absolutely and completely in the moment able to  really appreciate the moment…  when your with  family and friends… its such a pleasure to  be able to  be able to relax… know you have someone who is on your side.. so to speak.. to know you have   someone who actually cares what you have to say.. what you really think  about .. and to have real conversations about   your interests and passions.. your thoughts.. and    and are supportive of your hopes and dreams… and of  your goals.. and would never  belittle you or your life..  
 
 we ended up watching…. forgotten… kinda an upsetting movie in a way.. I thought  my  mom would have liked
talking about the movie… like when the  freak( alien) was trying to take the very first memory from the mother the memory  when she gave birth  to her son….  so that she will never remember  she ever had a son…. and how this experiment   was all about erasing the bod a mother had for her children… and i guess in a way visa versa .. how a child had a bond with their parents..or family…   what do you think? is that possible?… i don’t think a  great and real, genuine, mother  ever really  would give up on finding their child.. of being great to their child…   and would go to tremendous  lengths to  remember their child right? 

just a thought but….   

my mom was going to stay  and watch the bachelorette… but left…
