This is going to kind of a random post. I’m working on 2 1/2 hours sleep today. Forgive any spelling and/or grammatical errors.... it’s HARD typing posts on my phone!


It’s that time of year again. This time, as they weren’t able to come into town, I flew up to see my folks over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. The weather was really nice and it was neat seeing their new house outside the dead of winter. Everyone was in a good mood and I didn’t get into a single argument over politics with my mom (i.e. I kept my mouth shut). While there, I was able to get all their bluetooth devices paired, Ipod’s loaded with music, Siriusxm enabled and other little tasks they needed my help with.  Dad is supposed to come down in a few weeks for a visit, so I’m looking forward to that.

I had an odd thing happen on the way to the airport. My rideshare driver, who looked to be about 22, had a car that smelled vaguely of weed, who wore a wooly beanie AND a hoodie....asked for my phone number.  I was shocked! Apart from the fact that I’m old enough to be this young man’s mom, it’s rare that random guys ask for my number! I was, quite literally, speechless. Then I managed to say no, but let him down nicely, didn’t hurt his feelings  (and made him laugh) by saying that I’d only known him for 45 mins and that he could be an axe murderer for all I know....but perhaps I would see him around town at some of the bars we’d talked about. (Hopefully, I won’t.)

After all that, I had a birthday. Thank you to everyone who sent such nice wishes.  Because of when it falls (and because I don’t really like to be the center of attention),  I don’t tell a lot of people when the big day comes around, so it’s always nice when friends pop-up with notes and stuff unexpectedly.  So, again, thanks everyone!!

I had a busy weekend in Orange County after that and ended the weekend exhausted.   Not much to complain about here!

Don’t forget to vote today!!!

Here’s hoping I get a little more sleep tonight. Bloodshot eyes are NOT a good look for me!!
