This week has been rougher than I needed for it to be. My cousin who I grew up with passed away suddenly on Sunday 8/22... the same day as my oldest nephew's birthday AND the same day as my father's funereal 20 years ago. So this date already has been bittersweet and now I have more bitter to add to the day unfortunately. My cousin was generally a good person, God fearing, good father. There is so much I could say. What I will say is this one hit different! He was in a car accident earlier this summer and had to have surgery as a result. Everything went well as far as we knew, but several months later, he passed away. I've just been sad and everyone is saying nice things on Facebook and that makes it that much harder. This one was not expected at all. He had 2 kids; 18 who just graduated from high school and the other 12 in middle school. I don't know how it is to lose a father that young. I lost my dad in my late 20's. It is still very surreal! I couldn't look at him real hard in the casket because even though they did a good job, that wasn't him. I want to be cremated! Not sure where I want to be sprinkled but that is the plan! Maybe a few on my family member's graves (wait is that weird?). My uncle was put in the casket with my grandfather (that was weird because they didn't like each other... although to be fair, I'm pretty sure my grandfather didn't like most people). And we are done with casket and cremation talk!
I was listening to the song 'Just Got Paid' by Johnny Kemp and the lyrics as I thought them to be:
Just got paid, Friday night
Party hunting, place is right
Booty shaking, all around
Know one thing; that I'm getting down
I just went to the 'official lyrics and they was wrong wrong wrong!!! BUT What I heard on the radio this fine AM was... well all of the above EXCEPT the Know one thing said.. POURED ONE DRINK NOW I'M GETTING DOWN!! Why was I in my car like this truly blew my mind?!?! All this time I thought he was saying KNOW ONE THING!!! Not POURED ONE DRINK!!! **mind blown emoji** LOL
This one was the blog queued up, well kinda sorta. It has been several weeks and let's see... I went RVing (well RV light as my niece would say). She found the RV on Air BnB and rented it. I mean it was cute to do, but I promise I'm good! I don't have to relive that ever again!! I realized (well this ain't no new realization) that I like luxury (on a budget LOL). The space was a little tight, and with 4 real grown adults and 2 small kids, it was interesting. There was a clubhouse across the way that had a bigger/regular bathroom cause, none of us were trying to clog up nothing! My baby niece who is 1 is very demanding. I took the handful of blueberries out of her hand so that she could eat them 1 at a time, after she stopped yelling at me, she would tap my hand so that I could feed her blueberries. It basically was, since you won't let me do it my way, FEED ME (bitch is implied LOL)!!! The baby nephew who is 4 has way too much energy for me! I must say, there is a huge difference to being an aunt when I was 15 and being an aunt at 47. I'm just tired. So when he is revving up I have to say 'Baby, Aunt Tauf does not want to fight right now (or ever!)'. His parents recently put him in soccer, so lets hope that helps with his energy. We did make it to Assateague where the wild horses were supposed to be roaming on the beach. We saw a few horses, and I did get to dip (literally cause it was a gloomy/rainy day and I didn't wear my suit) my toe in the water; that was cool!
It has now been several more weeks... I am not so god with the blogging LOL I went to Florida which yadda yadda yadda, I talked about in the previous blog. I did a quick lil trip to Atlantic city with my boyfriend which again I dipped my toe. So if we are counting, I have dipped my toe 4 times this year!!! Rehobeth back in May, Florida, Ocean City, and then Atlantic City!! I can't really complain.
It has been yet even more more weeks.... and I need to go ahead and edit this thing and post it. I will say that I am in one of my bi-weekly work meetings. What I love is that I have a co-worker that I actually like and can joke about people during the meeting! That is all I will say about that because you know, I like to try to pretend to protect the innocent.
And now my random thought for right now is that I need a French Toast do over this weekend. I went to a place last week not too far from my house and the French toast was terrible AND expensive. I really want to give this place another try, but it's going to be a good long minute before I do because I don't like to waste money, nor calories. I might have to hit up Sugar Mama's or Miss Shirley's. Hell even Double T Diner would have been way better! And I'm getting mad all over again at those pieces of bread that didn't soak in any kinda egg solution.
