Thank you to everyone who sent me sweet messages/tweets after my rough day yesterday. I am doing much better today! XOXO!
I wanted to start my post today by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my BFF Mandy! We have been friends for almost 23 years (I still can't believe it's been that long). I was going through a box of crap junk stuff not too long ago and found all the letters she wrote me in college. Oh yes, real letters. I moved away to go to college so we went from being able to see/talk to each other every day to maybe seeing each other a few times a semester. My freshman year and part of my sophomore year we rotated weeks writing to each other. She would write me one week, and I would call her when I got the letter, and vice-versa. This was back before email was so "popular" (oh yes, I'm that old!) ;) I'm so glad we were able to do that. I loved going back and re-reading some of the stuff we had talked about WAY BACK then (oh the things that seem so "important" to you at 18- **sigh**). I was able to see her last weekend when I went to her baby shower. Since we don't live close to each other anymore, we only see each other a few times a year. But, it seems whenever we get together, it's like no time has passed between our visits. We have SO many memories together, and I'm looking forward to many more! Happy birthday Mandy- Love you! R.E.W.R. (she will be the only person who understands that!) :)
Halloween 1991- our third Halloween to go trick or treating together
At her wedding in 2004
A few years ago in Austin
At her baby shower. Yes, I posted this one Monday too. :)
Okay, moving on for now. So, after forgetting the earphones to my iPod at work yesterday, I had to listen to a CD driving to work today. I know, how "caveman-ish" of me to actually listen to a CD- who does that anymore? ;) I honestly don't keep many in my car, but I found one of my CD books in the backseat. I have no clue how long it's been there because I honestly didn't even know I had it, I just happened to find it (which is a miracle in itself since my truck is so messy- getting off track, that is a story for another day). So, after flipping through a few pages I found my Matchbox 20 Yourself or Someone Like You CD. I forgot how good that CD was! It took me WAY BACK (it came out either my senior year of high school or my freshman year of college). I forgot that I pretty much like all the songs on it.
I had to share a few videos from Matchbox 20. Man, I LOVE Rob Thomas' voice!!
I still use CDs in the car! My iPod adapter has been broken for a while, and I'm too lazy to get it fixed or buy a new one, so it's been CDs for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready for baseball season! Glad I have you to keep up with how many days left so I don't have to! LOL
I am not the biggest fan of baseball, but spring training games are so much fun so I am looking forward to that for sure! And I love Matchbox 20- they need to come out with more songs!
ReplyDeleteOk, not to be Mr. Negativity but, why did leaving your headphones at work mean you had to listen to a cd?
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you don't drive with your headphones on.
Ok, back to positivity...BFFs are the bestest =]
My iPod is a dinosaur and the battery won't stay on long enough unless it is plugged in at home, not even the car charger, especially if it is cold.
ReplyDeleteI listen to CD's all the time still, but mixed that I put together myself.
Glad you were able to get all nostalgic with Matchbox 20!
Happy Birthday to Mandy, what a celebration that you have been friends for that long.
