Age Differences

So.... Jen and I were discussing age differences. We agreed that they only really matter @ the beginning & the end.

So, say I was in 4th grade when the guy I like graduated high school.... that's kinda icky.... but at this point in our lives we're on an even playing field. However 40 years down the road when I'm a spry 83.... he might be 92.

Guess, then I'll just have to turn him in for a younger model. ;-)

Did I mention that my grandmother was 12 years older than my grandfather? Or that my sister is 5 years older than my brother-in-law. Seems the women in my family go for younger men. Hehe....

Signs of having a life

Last Friday night I went to see Rock Bottom @ Johnny D's in Davis Square. It was a great time. I FINALLY got to see a show w/ the Troy Boys.

Tonight I returned to my real life and went to Happy Hour w/ Jen, H, Eric, Mollie & Crystal. We met up w/ a bunch of Live Nation people. Good times. It is nice to actually enjoy spring & be outside. Which is the only positive about going to Gaffney's. Ran into Michelle up there too! Love her. I remember having friends and a life. Well, vaguely...

Eric had an amazing amount of rum & Coke's. How he was still standing I'll never know. And for one night only, we had our very own version of Sketchy Joe.

I am so up past my bedtime. And I have so much to do tomorrow.

Topic of the Day

Okay... so the topic of the day is age differences. When you're over 30, does age really matter? How big a difference is too big? 30 & 35? 30 & 39? 30 & 45?

Discuss amongst yourselves....

Filling the Gaps

So, 2008.... In February, we lost Uncle Jack. It was horrible. Even now, months later, I have to remind myself daily that he's gone. It's beyond my comprehension. I did a reading at the funeral. Had never done one before. Was happy I didn't throw up.

Went to Boston in March and got to celebrate my birthday with shots called Red Headed Sluts. They were yummy.

Got back from Boston and came down w/ the flu for my birthday. Not so fun. Headache, chills, fever. Was able to rally enough to go to Disney w/ my sister, however while there I got really sick. Fevers, sore throat, sores in my mouth. Everytime I tried to eat, it was like putting glass in my mouth. Went to the doctor as soon as I got back and they did a rapid strep test which came back negative, they said it was a virus and would just have to work itself out. That was Monday.... Wednesday they called and said my culture came back positive for Strep C. The internet reports that Strep C is rare in humans, common in birds, and killed a herd of Moose up in Canada. Fun. But they gave me drugs and I got better in a few days. So April pretty much sucked.

In May, my cousin asked me to do a reading @ his wedding Memorial Day weekend. I readily agreed. The wedding was great. The whole weekend was cool. I love hanging out w/ my little cousins (once removed). Got to see the Troy Boys and FINALLY got to see a show w/ them. And for a lot less money than the Elvis Costello/Police tix I got for SPAC. It was weird hanging out w/ my sister and the Charlie's crowd.

All in all things are going well. School is almost out. SPAC is starting. Stuff to look forward to.
