lots of love

i think it's awfully strange that my parents are so in sync with the rest of my generation. Today during our PR meeting, we were on the subject of online lingo and how it's so hilarious that none of our parents know that LOL actually means "laugh out loud" and Corrine was actually telling us that her dad always thought LOL meant 'lots of love', hence every time he emailed Corinne's mom he ended each email with lol. Oh gosh, i thought that was the funniest thing on earth. (Corinne don't kill me for posting this up)

But back to the point, after she said that, i just stared into the walls of the news room as i recapped what happened yesterday night..

I usually sleep much later than my parents and the routine is usually pretty mundane taken that we say goodnight and i don't see them until the next morning. However, yesterday i was sitting in the kitchen in front of my laptop, i felt a vibration along the kitchen granite. As i looked down at my blackberry, the named "Daddy" flashed before me.

"Please turn off the hallway light"

Are you serious? Did my parents just text me to do something that they usually yell at me about? Did my parents just text me while we're literally under the same roof? All of a sudden, a mental image of my father sitting on his bed texting me flashed before me.

These are one of those things where you run into your teacher outside of school. It's absolutely absurd and uncomfortable.

One more point.

Although I truly love my job and coworkers, i must clearly say that yogurt chains are driving me to the ground. Yogurt owners and potentially yogurt owners need to desperately understand that fro-yo is not only overrated, it was SO last year.
