i'm one of those kids who sits in English class and reads through the literature book, even when we don't have to. i admit it.
bridal shower today for Cousin Amanda. she's so pretty and nice. Dan is so ... nice. his mom looks like a model.
no comment on band.
i've decided that Axle, my Jack Russell terrier (think Wishbone.. or the dog from "The Mask" w/ Jim Carey) is one of my best friends in the world. there's something almost stupid about the way this dog is so.. human. he looks up at you with those big brown eyes and you want to give him all the spaghetti-o's he wants. he has a stub-tail that looks like it's gonna fall off when he wags it too hard.
after the bridal shower, my dad took the Kids on a grand tour of "When i was a kid...". he grew up in the slums.. the "white ghetto" on Halsted. he's come a long way, hasn't he? i hope i go far too. it really kind of hit me.. when my parents die, will i know half of what they experienced in their lifetime? if i don't, i'd be missing out on alot of stuff. my mom was so beautiful when she was younger.. she traveled everywhere.. almost became a perfume model in a commercial. and now they have us. all of us. and Axle. *sigh* growing old seems sad, but i suppose the memories you make when you are young make up for everything. what exactly is the definition of "old"?
i haven't done this in awhile, i know, but i'm going to leave you with a wise, notable piece of advice that you will remember for the rest of your life:
the most beautiful thing you could do for a person is just say something kind. anything. be it a little "you look amazing"or an "i love you", kind words make a strong relationship (and that guarantees you MANY gifts at your bridal shower. :-D ).
the story ends like this..
