So bad news for this girl, there is a chance that I may or may not have lost my car keys! ): I didn't notice at all until last night but I think I might have lost them Friday, ugh! I just can not catch a break? Luckily if I can't find them my dad can send me the spare key. I have never lost a thing that was so detrimental to my life! Luckily I have fantastic roomies and friends that I can hitch rides from....Besides that little mishap it was a really awesome jam packed weekend! Yesterday was so incredibly beautiful! I wanted nothing more than to hook up my hammock on my porch and just sit out there all day. Unfortunately I couldn't Macgyver a strategy to hang it up without harming myself. So instead my roommates watched me attempt to put it up (Making fun of me the whole time) and then when I gave up we ended up all just hanging out on the porch taking in the pleasant breeze. Gah! It was really pretty yesterday, truly!
Memory #20
I was in the eighth grade when my parents decided to put a pool in our backyard. Which kind of made me a big deal (Totally kidding...) but to all of my friends it was pretty exciting. Plans were already being made for the coming summer to like come and like tan all day (That's how middle schoolers talk right?) even though it would be months until it was finished but I suppose there is always something so thrilling and exciting about the thought of pool days in the summer, especially if you're stuck in one of those gosh awful cold and gloomy December days. Anyways what I always find funny about all of that is that when the pool was finally done and it was finally summer, I didn't have a lot of pool parties or friends come over to spend hours lazily around the pool. Usually it was just Sam, my mom and me. Or Sam's friends all being loud and crazy in the pool while mom and I shook our heads from the comfort of the indoors.
I believe it was primarily in the summer before my senior year of high school when my mom and I started to spend days in and out around the pool. I remember Sambo would be playing basketball in the pool and I remember my mom laying out by the edge of the pool on a recliner. And I remember eventually bringing a towel to put right next to her chair so that I could lay out and be around my mom. Those days were some of the best, my mom would have the Slurpee machine going and the outside speakers playing whatever hip music in the background, and I remember not being anxious or feeling plagued with scary thoughts. I remember peace. Days like those were the last couple of days before my mom was re diagnosed with cancer and the last days I would feel completely at ease. On these summer days I remember having deep conversations about life that would make me feel inspired or having really random silly conversations that would make me laugh till my gut hurt or sometimes we would lay in mutual comfort silence and take in all of the buzzing life happening around us but felt so far away.
I guess its the little things, right?
Love always,
Erin
P.S.
If you find Volkswagen keys laying around let me know (; Ha
