One Hundred Eleventh Entry

This weekend was a really fun weekend. Jen and Lisa came down from the Bay Area on Friday and left today. I was really happy that they came. I was not happy that they could only spend one night.

On Friday, they got here around 1pm. We played in my new 'kiddie' pool in the backyard and afterwards went to Sonic for some grub. Yummm.

After we got back, we started to get stuff ready for our 4th of July BBQ. Jen put together the BBQ and it was very nice. I fired up the grill and, well, I put too much charcoal. See, I used the charcoal that you don't need to use lighter fluid on. Well, the fire burned for days.

After about half an hour, the grill was ready to cook on. The food turned out a little burnt, but oh well. Paula and Calvin and the kids came over and it was fun. We all sat around in the kiddie pool and shot our water guns at each other.

After dinner, we went to Paulas house and lit fireworks for like 2 hours. It was Fun!!!

Today we all woke up a little late and went to breakfast at Ryan's. After that, I took the girls to a meth lab in Plainview. We didn't go in, we just looked at it as we drove by. They had never seen one.

On the way to the meth lab, Lisa and Jen both wanted to drive my truck. So I let them. They did well.

After that, we came back and played Hoopla a lot. For dinner we went to Sonic!

And then they left. I was sad and said I wished they could stay til tomorrow. Oh well.

Lisa agrees that I am going bald. This officially marks the beginning of my adulthood. I now have to deal with my hairloss. Although it isn't anything too bad yet, I don't think I have too much time before I am a Kojak look-a-like. The clock is ticking. I like the Andre. Expense!!

So, with my hair becoming thinner by the day, I need to re-think some things. In a way, I am dealing with my own mortality. I am going to die, and this balding is signaling the beginning of the end.

I'm not going to go and kill myself or buy Rogaine (unless it gets really bad); I am going to treat each day as a gift. Something that should be made the most of. I am going to make the rest of my time on this Earth as good as I can. I am going to start leading a healthy lifestyle. I am going to learn things that I have always wanted to learn. I am going to treasure my leisure time and do things that I enjoy.

Probably after I sober up, I'll scarf down all the hot dogs in my fridge and forget all about this.
