Boy I'm old......

I remember the days of my youth when I was just getting ready to go out at 10:00 pm. I remember just going to bed at 4:00 am. For some stupid reason, most of those times are fond memories..... most of them. I was never a "drinker" so when we went out dancing I drank soda. I just went for my friends and the dancing. I suppose I was a good one to have around because there was always a designated driver when I was there and believe me they needed one. Thankfully all of them are over it now. We have all turned into quite respectable people these days. The fact still remains though and I proved it last night....I am no longer young. Even more, I am no longer a night owl. I've known it a long time, but it was proven last night once again.
Jacob our almost 16 year old young man wanted to take his girl to the homecoming dance. He was going to meet her there because he does not drive yet, but he had to get there. The dance started at 8:00 pm. and then he wanted to get picked up around 10:00 to go to a friend's house for an all night party. I volunteered to be his driver because Will has to work this weekend. Normally late night stuff is his because he still is a night owl. By the time I got home at 11:30 I almost had to crawl into the house. What a bummer.
When we were planning this, I thought cool I'll just go to a movie. Yeah right. 2 horror flicks, something about porn and something else about a little taco bell type dog were my choices. NO movie. So, the only thing left is eating. No thank you. So I went to the only other thing available "our local Wa*mart" OPEN 24 Hours! Can you feel the excitement? I didn't want to buy anything so I wandered around for an hour looking at stuff. What a night....window shopping. I could only stand it for an hour. I ended up at our local McD's drinking a coke, eating an apple and walnut salad and watching Law and Order (don't ask me which one).
I go back to get Jake who has had a wonderful time and he tells me all about it. He also tells me that he and a friend did this dance for the whole school.....what a hoot. You have to imagine tall skinny Jacob and his shorter friend doing this.I have posted the video so that you can get an idea. I guess they even tried the throw at the end, but the one chickened out. I would think it will be the talk of the school for awhile. My boy the class clown.

Time for church have a great day!
