Memory Monday???

but today is tuesday???

So my sister does this memory monday thing…..see it here :)

But today’s tuesday…..what kind of memories do I want to bring forth today?

Well, let’s see if you can keep up……..

• eating 50/50 bars in the summer from the freezer outside.(I felt free!)

• Standing in Central Park, taking in the glory of NYC. (I felt peace)

• remember when I was out to lunch and got the  phone call that 10 of my kids had been arrested.  (I felt helpless)

• Walking through Kiwanis Park with my ex boyfriend and his baby daughter. (I felt sorrow)

• Sitting in a budget meeting about 2 years into being a branch executive and I looked around the room and realize WOW!  I am like a grown up or something!!! (I felt surprised!)

• Sitting at 1st round draft after brittney’s graduation and having my first panic attack (I felt out of control)

• Talking all night long and watching the sun come up (I felt hopeful)

This morning, I had the opportunity to have breakfast with my favorite munchkin face, Lexi.  My lap top was open and I have a different picture as my screen saver.  

  And she bursts out laughing and says to me, “Mindy!  That’s so funny!  You are so different now!” 

Gotta love the six year old who calls you out for looking different 18 years later.

Then she wanted to know who’s arm that was in the picture.

I tell her. 

She then wants to know in a whisper voice----did you kiss him?

And I whisper back….yes, I did!

She whispers as if we are having a very secret girl talk (I guess we were!) “How many times did you kiss him?”

I respond (trying not to laugh) Um, I think seven times.  Yes seven times.

Lexi:  Wow mindy, that’s a lot of kissing times.  You must have really liked him.

And that my friends is a memory that I will keep with me for awhile…….
