Getting there was not so lovely, I totally missed my flight.
I decided to take the train over a cab to save money and the trains were wonky, and then I finally get to where the air train is and it's down - apparently for the whole month of October. Then I have to wait for a bus, and then I'm on the bus for two hours, and while I'm at JFK for an hour and a half of that time I am nowhere near my terminal. Everyone on the bus is swearing and getting antsy. And whenever the bus would make a sharp turn everyone's luggage would go flying. One person was totally hit by one. Madness. I sprint into JetBlue's terminal and I hear "Last call Raleigh/Durham." I was so upset. Well honestly I was more upset about having to cancel a hair appointment for the next day.
In NC Maigan, Bryan, and I took Hailey bowling. I didn't realize she hasn't really ever bowled before. So she would pick up the ball and chuck it down the lane - which was terrifying. You would never know where it would land, because she lobbed it. A few times it got caught in between the bumper and the gutter. After the third time it seemed like a safety hazard to the other bowlers so Bryan started coaching her - it didn't work. Then I did, and I got her to tame it and she got two spares. Eventually I stopped going up with her each time and she did really well.
Also when we were in Disney last month we kept seeing this little girl with Rapunzel hair and my mom stopped the family and asked where they got the hair. Two weeks ago I get a blurry picture of my mom wearing the hair saying "Your hair is here."
She made me take it home with me. There you go Mom, I tried on the hair.
Tangled is not my favorite. Rapunzel has this lovely long blonde hair and then she has to sacrifice it at the end and have a chopped scraggly brown bob. Lame.
Speaking of Mother, she guilted me so much with Winston. She said Lobo's "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend" perfectly described his feelings.
These are the lyrics:
You said you aren't home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door.
Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
Just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep.
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So lets just let the story kinda end
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So don't expect me to be your friend.
I don't walk down through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you from my memory
Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind.
You always act so happy when I see you
You smile that way you take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the walls start crashing in.
My mother is absurd. I really need to make a web series called "My Creepy Super" or something. So ridiculous.
But it was definitely lovely seeing family, friends, and basically just eating for five days.
And I just found out that I can officially graduate next December, which is now the plan. Fourteen months until I have to be an adult. Crazy.
First off she has too bowled before. If you remember she went to a birthday party in preschool. You must hate your mother to post that picture. But you look so beautiful with that hair. I am sure you will find many uses for that. Maybe use it to play with the cat at Paige's apt. Lobo - That is such a good song and your mother is not absurd
