We Have Everything – And Then Some
Wow, what a busy few weeks. My oldest is now less than a year away from being a teenager. Damn, they grow up fast. She is turning into such a wonderful, intelligent, beautiful young lady. I’m so proud of her.
Her dad bought her Green Day concert tickets for her birthday. She started screaming and hopping around. She’s so excited. We haven’t decided who’s going to take her yet. I think I’ll ask her uncle. He seemed as excited as she was about it – without as much hopping. He was more excited when she told him that an old guy liking Green Day didn’t make it any less cool. I had a few reservations about the concert but I guess 12 isn’t too young to get your first contact high. To be honest, I prefer her liking Green Day to some of the racist, misogynistic, redneck, or slutty airhead themed bands that are out there now. “Silence is your enemy” There’s nothing wrong with that message.
Next up MyHusband and I celebrated our Fritos and Mountain Dew anniversary. Damn, we’ve been together a really long time. I still remember the day we met like it was yesterday. I didn’t think we had anything in common and was sure we’d never hit off. Looking back I think that’s why we hit it off. Two very different types of people make for many opportunities to try different things. Plus he’s really awesome. That never hurts.
I spent most of today with Verizon guys in my backyard installing fiber optic cables. I’m use to being the only person, except the drunk old lady a few houses down, to be around during the day. All the excitement kinda aggravated me. Not being able to let the dogs out back aggravated me more. But the guys were very polite and didn’t mess up my trees too much so I shouldn’t complain. At least I managed to channel my aggravation into cleaning up the house so it all worked out.
I’m not sure if you guys are nerdy enough to understand why this is our Frito and Mountain Dew anniversary so I’ll add this video. He’s not a code monkey but this song always reminds me of him and how we met.
So what do you say MyHusband? We might not have everything but we’re doing alright, yes? Happy anniversary. Damn, I’m glad I didn’t fall asleep by 10pm last night like I threatened.

I’ve tried to comment five times and keep deleting because I sound like a nutter and for once it actually bothers me. I can’t get it out but just want to say this post & song went right into an empty place in my heart and answered questions I didn’t know I had. Thank you for posting, and Congrats to you both. Very simple man with big warm fuzzy secret heart… most real kind. x
Damn! I’ve been spending way too much on anniversary gifts. I could have gotten off with Fritos and Mountain Dew!
Happy Anniversary–however many Fritos is…

Amelia – It’s a good song. Always gets me. I’ve never thought you were a nutter but you know they are always appreciated around here. I like them the best.
Ed – I’m now fighting the visual of you getting off with Fritos and Mountain Dew.
And it takes two handful of Fritos and half a Mountain Dew. I’m a cheap date. Unless your talking about…
I loved that video! Oh, how I hope code monkey got his girl!
I saw Green Day opening for Bad Religion at a club in Tempe many, many years ago. I had never heard of them, but I became an instant fan. They were so incredible live. That was also the show where the lead from BR told me I had “cool ink” and my 19 year old heart nearly died. A little useless Lisa trivia for you. ;)
Happy anniversary to you guys!

Yes! Go code monkey, go!
How cool is that. That would have made my month when I was 19. Might make my night now. Except why was Greg Graffin looking at the gumby tattoo on your rear end? ;)
Thank you!
Yes, well….Ummmm….Er….
Kidding, kidding! The tattoo in question is actually a dinosaur, and is on display for the world to see. It is a fairly large dinosaur, though. It can be a little eye-catching in shorts.
Did you know Graffin has a Ph.D and lectures in CA???? I’m seriously considering a semester in California for life sciences now. :)

You have to post a picture.
I’d go with you. I watched some of his new videos on youtube and he’s even hotter in glasses and a sports jacket than he was in black leather and skulls. Or maybe my tastes have changed? We could just show up for one of his classes and when it was done we could sing him a song. Which one?
ROAD TRIP!!!!!!
Oddly, I have no pictures of my tattoos. I’ll have to take some!
Hmmm…which song? My favorite album has to be No Control. I Want To Conquer The World? Ah, who am I kidding. I’d just stand there like an idiot and babble on about the time he talked to me when I was 19. :P

I’d love to see them.
Yea, I’d probably just stand there and nod wildly while you babbled. Security would be tossing us out. We’d have to deal with the whole restraining order thing. Ohh well, we can dream, right?
We sure can!
