Tonight I was supposed to make dinner for Gina and the babies but it didn’t work out that way.
I left work early. I just couldn’t handle being at work any longer, and I REALLY did not want to go to my 4pm meeting. I seriously get wigged out every Monday and Wednesday over this meeting. I’m tired of having to explain to him why things are progressing at the speed in which he would like on this stupid project.
So I left at 2pm. I was so tired. I thought I would go home and sleep for an hour and then be all kinds of productive but that didn’t happen either. I slept until 4:30, and you know It only takes me 3 minutes to drive home, literally. So I slept from 2:05 to 4:30.
Then I went to pick up Gina for dinner. I stopped at the HEB (Grocery store) by her house. It’s a new one and it’s amazing. They sell DVDs, CDs, clothes, dishes, and all kinds of nonsense in there… but seriously CDs?! And the CDs were cheap too. I am buying all of my CDs from them, from now on.
So I made a shameful embarrassing purchase. I bought Britney’s Spears Greatest Hits CD. It was calling out my name and the packaging is all silver and shiny and I just couldn’t resist it. WHY WHY WHY?!? It’s not like I don’t already have ALL of those songs from other CDs or downloads and there are so many other CDs that I want right now.
Anyways… I was so embarrassed carrying it around the store. THANK GOD they have the USCAN registers there, so I could scan my own items and such without some hateful teenager looking at me like I’m some kind of freaky old man buying Britney Spears CD’s. The thought of seeing someone scan the CD and look up at me with contempt was something I just did not want to deal with.
The CD was marked at $13.99 (it’s $14.99 on Amazon.com… I know because I was going to buy it online to save myself from the shameful in person purchasing incident) and when I scanned it, it came up $9.99. WOW! So I feel better buying it knowing it was on sale. YAY ME!
Her cover of Bobby Brown’s My Prerogative is really bad. It doesn’t have the bite and funk power that Bobby’s did. Speaking off… I’m going to bust out my New Edition’s Greatest Hits CD to listen to tomorrow. Mr Telephone man…. there’s something wrong with my line… when I dial my baby’s number I get a click every time…”
I picked Gina up and she had changed our plans. We were going to skip going to my place for dinner and instead we would be going shoe shopping! Woot woot! Just kidding. No, seriously though, I don’t mind. I enjoy hanging out with her so it doesn’t matter what we do.
We went downtown and met Sylvia and Rey at Rack something shoes in the Hancock Shopping Center and looked for shoes for her Bridesmaid dress. We also did some shopping at Old Navy. I left the stroller in my truck so that I could carry Maya around. She’s the cutest one year old around and she’s such a perfect baby. She never fusses or cries or anything. She was a joy to hold and play with. Babies are so much fun!
I love playing daddy with her kids, and thankfully her children like playing with me too. I seriously need to be having some children soon. Andrea and I were just talking about that. I hate when my friends say “You’d make such a great dad… when are you going to have kids?” or “You should really have kids, you’d make a great dad.” Do they not understand I can’t just crank out babies like they do? I DON’T HAVE A UTERUS! Hateful breeders are always trying to remind us of that stuff.
Anyways.. I’m serious about having some kids and I will adopt me some from Mexico. I can’t be adopting a child here in the US. I need a Mexico baby so that I can be more sure that I will never have to give the baby back and that the parents won’t come looking for it. That is my main fear with adoption and such. I can’t be giving a baby up after getting one.
After the shopping I took her home and came home… while jamming to Britney on the way. I’m still jamming to her CD. Ok, I need to get ready for bed now. I am an old man and we old people need lots of sleep.
PS: Gina gave me a really cute GOYA hat and a GOYA shopping bag. I can’t wait to put an outfit together to go with that hat. I’m thinking I really need to go ahead and by that horseshoe belt buckle with the Virgin de Guadelupe in it.
