I’ve had a song stuck in my head since dinner last night. “Born in the 50’s” by The Police. It’s not exactly a favorite of mine. In fact it’s probably one of my least favorite Police songs.

Still, there is a verse that keeps popping up on me…

My mother cried
When president kennedy died
She said it was the communists
But I knew better

I keep trying to imagine what some one my age would have written in it’s place. Like, imagine if the song was called “Born in the 70’s” instead. It might look like this…

My mother didn’t cry
When President Nixon resigned
She said it was the communists
But he was just an asshole

Then it goes down hill from there. (ie Disco)

Oh well.

I just dropped my iPhone. It’s fine, no problems. It slipped out of my hand and hit the soft carpet.

I swear on the souls of all whom I love and care about that I did not do it as a ploy to snag myself an iPhone 4.

Honestly.

I love getting stuck behind trains during the morning commute.

We had a great weekend. Saturday at the beach with my brother’s family and lots of adorable toddler time. Sunday flake day, at my very super smart step daughter’s request, hanging out at home watching movies and just having fun being together.

And now it is over. Stupid Monday.

We just watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, or what ever the 1971 movie was called, and I think that everyone involved in the movie was on crack… Lots of it.

I liked it though.

We went to Wells Beach yesterday. It was great.

Here is a photo of my step son’s sand castle masterpiece!

We’re going to a beach today. Uncle John and Aunt Mary have invited us up to Maine to visit them. We’re going to the beach and we’re going out for sushi. I’ll pass on the raw fish, but otherwise this is going to be great!

Do you want to know what the simplest pleasure of Fridays is?

In slightly less than eight hours and 30 minutes from now I will be free to take off my shoes and put on sneakers. At that point I will be clear to only wear sneakers until 9:00am on Monday.

Sneakers are symbolic of the freedom of the weekend.

Give it up for sneakers!
