I was just reading this Moxie Girl’s latest entry about her fondness for The Smiths and it got me thinking about songs that trigger happy memories for me.  Depeche Mode (shocker!), Enjoy the Silence, the summer of 1991.  My gang and I were doing things we probably shouldn’t have been doing and we were at my friend Brett’s house playing on the golf course.  For some reason Joey and I needed to leave and go all the way back to his house.  It probably was not a good idea to be driving but when you’re young an stupid you make poor judgements. I can’t remember anything on the way to Joeys house but the drive back to Brett’s I can remember every little detail.  DM was on the cd player and we were driving along 7th street towards Happy Valley Rd.  Back then the only thing out there was the airport and the road kinda curved around it.  I can remember the smell in the air, not that its all that special, dust and rain.  And for a few minutes neither one of us uttered a single word.  It’s funny how one can remember those details so vividly over time.  It makes no sense to me that I can remember that in detail but I can’t remember the birthday of anyone I’ve met after 1995. 

School has started again and I’m neck deep in homework and labs.  Work has also been keeping me fairly busy lately.  I’m still doing WW, but i’ve only lost 4lbs over the last ten weeks.  I need to commit to the program and get the weight off!  I just want to drop some weight before I order my wedding dress.  I think I can push it to the end of February or at least I’m going to try. 

It’s going to be wet and cold here in the desert over the next few days, stay warm and go see Juno!
