memories

today was one of those days you spend remembering things from the past you hadn't really forgotten, but hadn't thought about for a long time. had some good laughs with my brother as we reminisced about our younger days...... remembering how evil we were to my grandma, hehehe! oh my word, gosh...... all the doggy kisses...... going to the beach with her, being told we weren't allowed to go deep in the water, so therefore, we would crouch down so it looked like the water was up to our necks and go calling out, Grandma Grandma, we're drowning! save us! remembering how she taught all of us how to tie our shoes, how there was some story that went along with it, something about a rabbit hole...... can't remember it at all now. then we talked about how we used to fight over the Land Before Time cups she had, how he always wanted Petry, but always ended up with Sara, and how Ducky was always and forever my favorite! oh man....... gosh, then we remembered how we have these "chocolate" spoons, that we got out of cocoa puffs boxes, that used to have the cuckoo bird thing on them, and he'd twirl down the spoon...... and trying to remember what this other spoon was that we'd fight over, we think it was some toy story spoon, and we both had a feeling it had something to do with the little green alien things, you know, the one's that go: i have been chosen, farewell my friends, i go to a better place. yeaahhhh, hahaha, gosh, and all those cups we used to have, the ones from pizza hut, and chucky cheese, hahahaha, and Captain America! and then these straws that would change colors when you drank something cold, then hot, then cold..... and these other straws that would whistle....... man..... all those memories...... wow, i haven't gone back and thought about all that in sooooo long. puts me in a rather strange mood, not sure how to describe it. it feels so weird to think about how things used to be like that, all the silly fun stuff we did, all the playgrounds, the zoos, the beaches, and then to think how i'm "grown up" (HA!) now.... esp. because of something my grandma was talking to my Dad about, but i tried very hard not to listen to them and talk with my Aunty instead, but i still caught some of it.
on another note, i learned something today! hahahahaha!!!!! so several times, there have been friends of mine who come into work holding a tie in their hands, and trying to find someone who knows how to tie one, they always come to me, begging me to tie their tie for them, and i always have to tell them that i don't know how to tie one........ but now i do!!!! i made Nathan show me, so now, everytime i feel the urge to wear a tie *cough cough*, there'll be nothing stopping me! hehe, ;-) actually, i have worn a tie before.... last April, when i spent a week in Wheaton, i was my sister's "date" to a banquet, and i 'stole' Nathan's three piece suit and a tie, that was awesome! i felt kinda stupid, but it was fun nontheless. ok, me needs to go to bed soon. nighties! (as usual, the clock here is messed up, so it's really about 1/4 after 9, not like 8, or whatever it says.)
OHO!!!! speaking of clocks! i know i know, i said i was going to bed, but now i have to write about this! i guess my little bro's clock had gotten unplugged at some point yesterday, and he fixed the time, but not the alarm, which means it was set at midnite....... and never changed.... he is one of those people who do not wake up.... like at all..... so midnite comes, and i wake up hearing an alarm in the next room, takes a long while for me to realize that it is not morning yet... no, it is midnite..... then why is an alarm ringing, and not stopping.... then i hear Nathan wake up, kinda, not fully yet, and start muttering, stop..... come on! stop! then he wakes up more fully, and goes ohhhhh! stop it! wake up! turn it off! come one! WAKE! UP!!!!! and finally, after several minutes, poor little Joely wakes up and turns it off. anyway, now i must go to bed.
