Definately.

You could cut them half way and wear them as shorts. Just make sure you wear them with white socks and sandals, it seems to be a family tradition.

Just Hit Me
So every Monday I work two jobs and get home at 9, so does my mom. Full day Mondays for both of us has been going on for a while and when we get home after work me and her always eat and watch tv together, (usually castle during the tv season and whatever is on in the summer). My dad watches tv with us too and we all catch up on how our day was and just things in general. Even though I live at home that is really one of the few times during the week we are all together at the same time. It may sound dorkyish but I really love that time with my parents just relaxing and eating and watching tv after a long Monday. It just hit me last night that there is only 1 left before I move out , and then it hit me that I am really moving out. Its weird until that moment last night it almost felt more like I was going on vacation as compared to moving out. Even though I have packed mostly everything I own, it still didn't seem real and then all of a sudden it did. I am super thrilled moving out with (e:libertad) and to have my own place but it just struck me about how much I am going to miss about living here. Its been a pretty great 27 years I think, and I am definitely going to miss it!

That is so cute. You can still visit. You are not moving that far.

First of all I want to wish you both luck... The Reason I say that is it will be good and tough I don't mean tough in a bad way... Just a lot of adjusting... Not only will it be (If I understood you correctly) the first time not living with your parents but you will be sharing a place and sharing bills and all that kind of stuff.... That being said I'm guessing it will be tough on them also.... Guessing (for me I think it would be house on Monday) you will both be in your separate Places and thinking this is nice but seems like something is missing....

I miss my parents still (and they tell me that they miss me.. who knows) even though both of us let out a big sigh of relief when I left home.
leetee - 08/16/11 16:35
Awwee.... i don't think that's "dorkyish", i think it's sweet. Family is important and i think it's great you have a relationship with your parents that is sane and stable... and that you like and appreciate it. Will make you a great father if you ever decide to be one. :o)

Garage Sale Day 1
Well today went swell. It realy did. Lots of people showed up and they bought quite a bit of stuff. We can definitely use less tables and chairs tomorrow. I was really pleased. People came so early...like at 730 when it starts at nine and then they were digging thorugh all the boxes which made it harder to set up and everything but all in all in went well. Lets see what happens tomorrow.
tinypliny - 08/13/11 18:05
Glad it went well! Hope you sell all of it tomorrow. :)
libertad - 08/13/11 17:59
Some guy asked if we were selling guns and I said no but we have racist confederate flag cards. He didn't buy them though.
mike - 08/13/11 17:46
I almost forgot to mention, we had a visit from (e:leetee) and (e:uncutsanisflus)h which was a nice suprise!
