I realized that I did not post my September faves this month. I didn’t get my new phone until recently but I’m kind of immersed in Purple Hearts and I can’t get this song out of my head for so many reasons:

Sean swears that he does not look like that kid but I disagree! That guy has his mouth and I KNOW because he has MY mouth!

My Mom got me out of my bed kind of early today because I did not sleep very well last night. I am sitting in my chair drinking my shake and taking my vitamins. I checked my phone to see what day it was and when I saw that it is August 26. I paused! My heart stopped.

Ttoday was the day that I was hired for my only “Big Girl” job in 2005. My only teaching position. I taught for 12 years until MS decided that I can no longer do it.

I remember that my school leader used to write on an index card because we had to fill out paperwork and our date of hire was a question that we were asked every single year and I remember getting those index cards with his writing on it.

I was thinking about that today and I had to pause my prayers and my water drinking to jot this post because I didn’t wanna forget it. That’s happening a lot now these days…:

this song reminds me of summertime when I was in middle school. My friend’s babysitter really liked Jon Secada so we listened to him a lot!

So, after some hesitation, I have a new phone and I also have a new chair (at least that’s what it feels like). I thought that everything was transferred over to my new phone but I have lost some of my subscriptions on YouTube so I am blindly scrolling through YouTube to find something to watch. But then I received the grounding I needed:

I was at WMU when this song came out. I think that I needed to be reminded of a simpler time because this is proving to be so real!!! At least somewhere in there, my phone still knows me!!!

Okay, I am exhausted and my Mom is resting before I get ready for bed. Purple Hearts is over now and I took my contacts out already. I got on Facebook and I saw that a Facebook friend posted this which made me laugh hysterically!:

My son is about to be 21 and as a teacher, I would never homeschool because I was working when he was supposed to be learning. But when I read that meme, I laughed because probably a month ago, Sean was talking to my Mom and me on the phone and he said that he didn’t know that ‘beef’ was slang and frowned upon when you were speaking with customers. He is working with an irrigation company.

My Mom was holding the phone and we were on speaker and after he told that to us, I said, “What’s beef? Beef is when you need to gats to go to sleep.”

I just said that in passing because I was in high school when that song came out and Sean stopped talking and said that, “I never thought the day would come when he would hear me “Biggie Smalls! “I started to laugh and was reminded of one I was puzzlin’ at home when he came home from school and I was jammin’ to some Bob Marley and singing it as loud as I could! He knew that I knew the words and he was blown away that I did!

I told him that Bob Marley is even before my generation so it’s crazy that he knows it! We both are both know why he knows it and I knew it but I love it today still!!! He’s classic for sure!!!

I just got home from my MRI and I ate my dinner and I am starting to crash now. This was a success but I am exhausted!

I will not leave my house again until next month for another haircut and an appointment with a new primary care doctor. I put Purple Hearts on but I thought of this song as I begin to crash. I was in high school:

My Mom is resting before we begin the final stretch of my tupher. I am feeling it’s starting to settle into my bones but I will grab my thoughts and get this done… this song is what I am thinking after my MRI:

So, my nephews’ mom messaged me Sunday and told me about a new movie on Netflix. She told me that I have to watch it because the guy in it looks like Sean! So that was the movie my mom and I watched that night:

As the movie started, I could see that he looked similar to my son but he did not look like him! I should know because I am his mother! But then, as the movie went on, he made faces that Sean makes and he has the same lips as Sean and I know because Sean has my lips.

i messaged Erica back and said that I agree that he does it look like Sean and she told me that her and her daughter watched it twice. So I watched it Monday night as well. He told me that she asked her daughter who he looks like and immediately she said, “Sean.”

I did not watch it today because I got my haircut and eyebrows waxed instead so I was too tired to watch TV when I got home. As I am reading this now in the early hours of the morning, I may or may not have downloaded the Purple Heart soundtrack on my Apple Music playlists…

I think this is a good transition from my teenybopper movies now then I’m 40 years old. I’m really digging the music as well! I can’t decide which song I like the best so I will just put a couple of my faves here:

I like the stripped version of these songs and it makes me feel not as teenybopper. It sounds more mature. There will be a third showing in the future but not tonight because I have an MRI scheduled.

So, I just wrote a blog post titled Blessed and I edited it after posting it and made it #Blessed because you know what song was in my head!:

I thought of this song because I was actually thinking of Tom Holland and Zendaya‘s Lip Sync Battle and I’m going to put this here because I want to watch again!:

This is the latest game I have been playing on my phone. It reminds me of playing Memory with my cousin, Melissa. It actually helps me with my hand-eye coordination so it makes it easier to put my contacts in. I think my only saving grace is having had them for 28 years so a lot of it is muscle memory at this point, I think.

I have to get three of a kind and put it in the boxes at the bottom. I have been playing for a while and I am on level 150 but I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to win the level but it doesn’t matter because that’s not the point of it anyway for me.

The Apple Music playlist I was listening to finished so a different song started playing and just like that, I was a freshman in college and back at Western!!!
