She had the day off so she decided to call me and ask if she could come pick me up. Of course I said yes, so she picked me up and we went to a really good lunch at Panera (If you've never tried their tomato mozzarella sandwich or their greek salad, I recommend them both to you!). Then we went and got our nails done, which she was super excited about (as was I!) because she had some extra money to spend on manicures...from her bonus! She was really happy about that, and I am so proud of her. She works so hard despite disliking her work. My family is beyond blessed to have both of my parents employed right now while our country is in so much economic tragedy. I'm so grateful that God is taking care of our family. Well we had a good time sitting next to eachother, chatting eachothers ears off (actually that was only on my end), and getting our nails done. To make the time even BETTER, we got some great laughs while sitting there! Somehow a lizard (or gecko, or salamander, or something) had gotten into the shop and the nail ladies were freaking out! There is no way I could describe this in writing and actually do the story justice, but picture this....a 5'5" woman scared of a 5 inch lizard who comes bursting out of the closet with an upside down broom, screaming she's ready to attack. That's all i'll say. It was comical!
Free from time constraints, we decided to spend some time walking off our food at the mall across the street. We walked and talked, and laughed, and looked for presents for my grandma and my mom's best friend. It was a success! And my mother was elated about that. We had such a wonderful time together. After spending over an hour walking around the mall, my mom insisted it was time for some fro-yo from Yogurtland! How could i say no to that? So, with a full belly, i served myself all the best flavors and fruits (pistachio, original, and cherry vanilla yougurt with tons of yummy fruit on top - heaven!). After we sat and finished our yogurt, we headed back to Azusa, still enjoying our time together even as we drove back to my school. On the ride back, we listened to Taylor Swift who my mom loves (as do I). She showed me one of the songs she liked by her, which, coincidentally, i had never heard before. The song is called "The Best Day" and is about how Taylor and her mom used to have the best days together. That's exactly how I felt on this day. Here it is...
I'm five years old,
it's getting cold,
I've got my big coat on.
I hear your laugh,
and look up smiling at you,
I run and run past the pumpkin patch,
and the tractor rides,
look now the sky is gold.
I hug your legs and fall asleep the whole way home.
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall,
I know you're not scared of anything at all,
don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away,
but I know I had the best day with you, today.
I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean.
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys,
and we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away,
and we talk and window shop 'til I forgotten all their names.
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school,
but I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you,
don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay,
but I know I had the best day with you today.
I have an excellent father,
his strength is making me stronger,
God smiles on my little brother,
inside and out he's better than I am.
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run,
and I had the best days with you.
There is a video I found from back when I was three,
you set up a paint set in the kitchen,
and you're talking to me.
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs.
Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world.
Now I know why all the tress change in fall,
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong,
and I love you for giving me your eyes.
Staying back and watching me shine and I didn't know if you knew,
so I'm taking this chance to say that I had the best day with you today.
