Who will be there?

I found this drafted post dated Jan. 5, 2005 that I never posted. So here.

I got to thinking...

My Dad -
Who will be there to: cook/feed me, always push me to work out and work hard, do a job 100% and not half-assed, get excited about the "good stuff" (Burberry, Gucci, New Balance, etc), say "Yes Sir/Ma'am" to a complete stranger on the phone b/c that's how he was raised in the U.S. Navy, be one of the few Republicans I know, encourage me that I can always push harder in jogging/my job/studies, repeat his stories, constantly say "see...", tell stories of "his people" (the ppl who worked under him in the Navy), encourage me to taste something he cooked (which turned out good even though I didn't want to eat it at first), share my excitement in eating the Chicken Bake from Costco's food court, go on a diet w/ me

My Mom -
Who will be there to: sew all my lose buttons and ripped clothing, always be down to shop and go out, to come home w/ something for me (whether its a bag, shirt, food, supplies, etc), treat me to haircuts and manicures/pedicures with her, always pay for our meals when we go out (just her, my dad, and I), encourage me to buy a shirt/bag/shoes/pants b/c she thinks it looks nice (then wants one in her size for herself =P), yell at me to be on top of things such as my primary care doctor/dentist/jury duty, get scared when I drive over 60mph, be the first one to jump to the backseat of a car b/c she doesn't like the front, be down to try new foods/restaurants, order 5 items in Costco's food court even if we're only 3, like her meals w/ variety (not just one main dish)
