happy birthday pop pop

obviously todays post is dedicated to my pop pop, he turned 72 today. he is one of my favorite people. he's so cute and i love him very much. i have a few great stories by my pop pop one of my favorite quotes from him is - in regard to ugly people "if i had a dog that ugly i would shave his ass and make him walk around backwards"... another great moment was last year on his birthday, he actually called me at like 6 when i was done practice to make sure to remind me it was his birthday. i knew and was just about to call him but he beat me to the punch. this year i got him first and didn't have to get a phone call.
so today hm... i woke up and went down into the kitchen. i walked like right into my parents who were hugging. excuse me jeez im hungry.. pushed them aside and got some peanutbutter toast... currently on my 5th jar.. but the peanutbutter i eat at home i'm not counting. this will be included in the possible errors section of my conclusion...
then after a little bit i convinced myself to go running, this weather made it so difficult. so i'm running outside and despite the clouds i am feeling good because i am allowed to run in suburbia and not have to "pass the weak, hurdle the dead" (my brother has a shirt that says that... i might have to steal it...) so then im running outside and enjoying the fresh air when, it starts to rain. only a mile into my run. eh whats a little rain.... ill tell you.. in shorts and a white tee shirt on a chilly november day... rain sucks...
i shower up and then hit the bank. always spending money.. and it hurts my heart. like if i was spending my money on like new uggs or something then i would like know where my money goes, but honestly the last thing i bought was sneakers... ugh. i need to find a rich man to marry me. then i go to the hallmark and get some candy for my pop pop and i chat it up with edith. we talk phillies for a little and i decided i would marry pat burrel or chase utley... hell anyone on the phillies making over a million a year... the i go to pick up dan... sorry for talkign about the other men... then he graciously runs errands with me. we go to best buy first.. i destroy headphones at a ridiculous rate so i scope out someone to help. he wasnt very helpful just laughed at my bad luck with headphones... $22 later i am out of there. then we go food shopping. another fun time. then we stop at dans grandmom's to let out the dog. the freaking dog barked at me the whole time.. i cant win, the family dogs hate me...
home, uload the groceries. eat a snack... tostitos and that cheese conqueso dip.. i can't spell. then we watch a little shawshank redemption... and i take dan home.
off to my grandparents house... pizza yummmm the pizza near their house is wonderfull... one slice pepperoni and one slice mushroom.... cake with icecream and some coffee...
now i'm just waiting for daniel............ and doing some homework.
my mom just asked what i was typing... i had to explain the food blog... she doesn't get it... at all.. should have just said a paper.. or an email.... that just reminded me of how mrs. gilles said "they totally hook up" and she completely gets the food blogging... oh mother
