Mandingo!

Sup ya little freak?! Mom would yell at me for calling my baby a freak lol. But mom’s not here, so sup ya little freak?! It’s Tuesday, but it feels like Monday because yesterday was so quiet. Mom and I went to Target last night and had a good-ass time. I found boots! For $35! Wild. Who knows if they’ll hold up but they’re pretty comfy and the exact silhouette I was looking for. We got a bunch of travel shit to bring with us to Vegas and mom got some stretchy pants. And of course, we looked at a whole bunch of baby stuff. How do we know what car seat to get? How do we know what the best safest option is for a reasonable price? So many questions and so much money to spend. I’ve been doing a lot of looking at cars. Mom is feeling the Atlas but it’s pricey. I think we’ll end up with either the Tiguan or the Hyundai Santa Fe. But time will tell. It’s a nice day out today, sun is shining and I’m feeling good.

Tonight I’ll pack for our trip, tomorrow I’ll get my hair cut so I look fresh af, and then Thursday mom and I will go for spray tans so we look good in the pictures. Random but I got this little spray cologne last night at Target for $15 and I really like the way it smells. Feelin myself right now. Oh, I gotta stop by Grandma and Grandpa’s on the way to the tanning place because I forgot my sunglasses there this weekend and your boy NEEDS sunglasses. Especially if we’re going to Vegas.

I thought of something I wanted to tell you about mom this weekend but now I can’t remember what it was. It was one of those things it’d probably be helpful for you to know. Like if you’re pouring mom a glass of milk out of a plastic container, you have to blow on it so no crusty stuff gets in her glass. She’ll appreciate it, trust me. I’m sure it’ll come to me at a random time, whatever it was.

Gotta let you know about the album If I Should Go Before You by City and Colour. Really good stuff, top to bottom. City and Colour is Dallas Green’s side project from Alexisonfire that has honestly overtaken his main act in my opinion. At least for who I listen to. I’ve always been a fan and he’s gotten better and better over the years. Two or three years ago mom got me tickets to see them live and his voice delivered, sounded great. ISGBY has a blues-y vibe but it’s still got some nice hooks. Love the lyrics, too. Check it out if I haven’t shown it to you already.

Officially 10 days until my birthday! Gonna be 32. Can’t believe I’ll be 32 when my first child is born. Honestly, if you asked me when I was younger, I would have thought I’d be like 28. But mom and I weren’t ready at 28. Got married at 29. Life is interesting. I’m 31 and mom is 30 right now, but I think if you asked both of us, we’d say we feel like we’re 27 or 28. I wonder if you’ll feel the same way. I wonder if my parents felt this way or if they felt their age when they had me. OR do people even think about this kind of shit? Lol

Time for me to run to a meeting. I wish I was going to see my girl Kacey Musgraves tonight!

Love you big time,

Dad
