'when I'm not thinkin' I tend to have a beautiful time'

Strange weekend.
New yoga pose: dead doggie down. tee hee.

My dad and I decided that when he and my mum retire, he's going to send her to a street corner with an empty cup where she'll sing the Captain Kangaroo theme with her eyes crossed. She'll also have a chicken on a rope. That part was my touch. We think she could pull in at least a couple hundred a day. I'm picturing it now...... :-p

My uncle's godson (apparently he's religious now?) came up to the cottage this weekend. I wasn't looking forward to spending a weekend with a three year old, but I am shocked to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed his company. He was such a sweet little kid - no temper tantrums - and he really took a liking to me. Last night I took him down to the dock and we watched fireworks across the lake together. I even went as far to tell his mother that I'd look after him if they ever need me. haha So unlike me. So yeah - I actually like a kid - not to the point where I'm going to get busy and have one of my own any time soon, but it was great fun. Maybe I just need to expose myself to the right kids.

His dad however was a pain. I humored him for a while and played Risk with him on his laptop, but after a while he got sick of the "old people music" my parents were playing (stuff like Sam & Dave, Taj Mahal, Dylan, etc) and went and sat in his own car and blasted music out of it for the rest of the night. Once in a while he'd resurface, hear what we were listening to, then proclaim "I'm going to go kill myself". Yeah, this is a 40 year old man. Jaysus.

Now to the juicy part - one of my parents' friends totally made a pass at me!! It was a right riot!! He's a millionaire though, so maybe I'll let him be my sugar daddy. I need some more sugar in my life. He's waaay old and not too attractive (anymore) but he's got some charisma, so it could be doable. (I'm only half kidding tee hee). My aunt asked me if I want to date him (which was a strange question in the least) I said "ewww" and then she told me I should take him on to be my sugar daddy because my mum had one when she was my age!!! HAHA I had NO idea. I'm going to have to ask mum the details next time we're alone and drunk together. (That's when I get the funny statements from her like "Laura, I've done more drugs than you can imagine." Before she said that, she hadn't even admitted to trying a cigarette!! Damn hippie!!) Anyway, maybe I'm not so different from my dear old mother.

Anyway, this is a scary entry. I have to go to bed now - gotta be out the door by 7 in the morn...oh the tough life of the temporarily-employed. :-p nite nite.
