Got a lot crossed off my to-do list but, as per usual, still have plenty left to do. WHATEVER LET'S PLAN MY PARENTS' VISIT TO NYC WITH ME AND WATCH BEYONCE MUSIC VIDEOS. <- clearly more important.
But seriously. Talked to my parents for like two hours today and kind of vented at them at one point for their inability to multitask. I've been waiting for two weeks to hear if the restaurant I reserved for my 21st birthday dinner is an okay splurge for the weekend - which literally involves them clicking the direct link I emailed them, scanning the dinner menu, and shooting me a "yes" or "no" text - and their response? "We'll get to it next week when you're home."
What. They always use the "we're too old" excuse (they're 52) when I vent, like tonight, that it's really not that hard to pull up a link while talking with someone and give them your opinion, and honestly the world's evolving with technology to a point where anyone of any age has to be able to do something like this. Or at the very least, I don't know, find 2 minutes in a day within TWO WEEKS to respond.
Blergh. Ultimately I just told them price ranges I remembered off the top of my head and they were like "sure, whatever," but I don't like shifting opinion like that. I'd rather people see the material presented and make their own opinions based in the reality of things. But whatevs.
/vent. Sorry for the long post!
