1. my nephew waited until after his mom came home to poop a nice, big, messy, wet one, thereby saving me from cleaning up doo doo stew. i knew i loved that kid for a reason.
2. i took my dad out to lunch for his birthday today and he asked me what kind of guy i was looking to marry. when i asked for his recommendation he said, "well, you know, you're kinda...easily excitable...kinda jumpy, so you need someone understanding. you need someone mellow." of all my fabulous characteristics, that's what my dad brings up. i just had to laugh. but he does have a point.
3. at around 8:30 i decided i was finally hungry for dinner, so i crept downstairs to find something to eat. i flipped the switch in the kitchen and before the light even came on, my mom magically appeared from the other room. "you hungry now? you want some shrimp? some steak? a burger? it's really easy, i can make it quick for you." seriously, easier than rubbing a magic lamp and having a genie appear. all i really was expecting to eat was some cereal, salami, and an avocado. which would have been WAY more food than i kept in my fridge when i lived alone. but i could not pursuade my mom that what i had in mind for dinner was nutritious enough and she insisted on making me a burger. so ya know, i let her :) but i washed all the dishes.
4. i was having major angst bc the station i used to listen to in DC no longer comes in over the internet for some dumb reason. but i found the BEST radio station ever: "MOVIN' 99.7 FM" in SF. it's FREAKING awesome, playing everything i could ever want in my itunes collection. top 40 hits from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and today. they play every top 40 hit from my whole life! songs i listened to on TAPE in my walkman! songs i used to record off the radio then make into mix tapes for my friends! i've been listening to it for the past 3 hours and NOT A SINGLE SONG has repeated.
the only problem is i fear my generation may be just a decade away from "the oldies". i mean my friends and i always joked that we'd be "old" one day and "baby got back" would come on the oldies station and we would get up off our rockers and start shaking our asses totally embarrassing our kids. but that day may be closer than i thought.
the station says they play music that "makes you feel good". for pete's sake they're called movin' 99.7. how dorky IS that? they say they play music "from today and back in the day, when you were in school." so yeah, i'm officially getting old.

You're not old, unless you're referring to today's music as "loud racket!"
Your dad sounds like a cool guy. I think it's cute that he wanted to know what kind of guy you're looking for. My parents never ask that!
Oh, I think I'd like your dad...he sounds a lot like mine. I'll have to tell my daughter in the Bay area about that station. We have something similar down here in San Diego and, yes, I am hooked.
From the other posts, it sounds like your heart is still back east, as least the part that was broken during your extended stay there. You'll find someone, just someone different -- hopefully different in all good ways.
