Cemetery man-Monday

Work was blah, actually went by pretty quick for a Monday. Drew picked me up had ordered Rice Wok to surprise Drew with. He had some weird movies his friends wanted to watch called Cemetery Man starring a very young Rupert Evertt. The movie was bizarre. Talked a lot more to Drew about nothing really. On the way for him to drop me off we stopped at Wal-greens to pick up a razor and some Epsom salts for Kason. After Drew dropped me off we talked on the phone till I just couldn't stay awake any longer.

Phase 10 and tortellini

Got up around 3 need food so Drew and I went to walmart. Got back made some tortellini for Drew and I, Kason was up by then so I made him some too. We ate and then we all played phase 10. went to the room later talked to Drew and then his dad called to say he finished his letter to Drew, we drove out to Arlington and picked it up and I read it aloud as Drew drove me home. Will be back in Dallas tomorrow as we decided Mondays are our days to spend together.

Naughty

Ok Have totally neglected my blog due to work, will try to catch up on everything.

Saturday June 27th
Drew came home late :( He loved the room though said it feels more like our room now. Talked for a bit, tried to go to bed, nomt really tired. Eventually fell asleep, got at 1 so Drew could do his Sun thing, went and grabbed food as there is nothing in this house to eat must go shopping tomorrow. Took a shower then Drew went to work. Spent all night watching watching movies are crap waiting for drew to get home, decided to break up his boring day by sending some semi raunchy photos to Drew.

Wait I thought this was red?

Everybody wanted me to work on special projects today, it was nice to escape the addresses. Ran to wal-greens to pick up the picture so I could give it to Drew. Ran to Gwen's to let Pucca out but she wasn't having any of me. Ran home grabbed my bag and left with Drew. We decided to have McDonalds for lunch. Went to the apt. goofed off on the facebook, made Drew take the How well do you know me quiz he got 75% I made him make one too. I got 58%. :( Gave Drew the frame, he loved it! Also the urban outfitters art shirt I ordered came in so I gave that to him as well. We hung out, even took a little nap and then I made his lunch. I put a little card I had and some gummy bears into his lunch. We kissed good-bye and he went to work. I immediately put on my iPod turned it to Nsync and started cleaning. I decided to rearrange the room and really clean it as a surprise for Andrew, I hope he likes it. Watched the first 2 episodes of TrueBlood season 2, Man they were crazy. Told Drew he needs to start watching TrueBlood so we can talk about it. Used my Hi-Rez hair dye to go redder but I don't see a difference :(. Watching Netflix and texting back and forth with Drew. Gonna make some scrambled eggs and try to stay up till Drew gets home.

Pucca

Proposal

Not George today, work sucked have a new project I have to start, it's entering in 5900 addresses into a spreadsheet. Ordered Jimmy Johns to surprise Andrew with when he picks me up, he's been talking about it a lot since we use to eat it all the time and he hasn't found one where he lives. Andrew came and got me and we headed to the apt. I surprised him with the sandwiches and he was very excited to eat it. We hung out and talked and goofed around on facebook. Drew dropped me off at Gwen's so we could go to the movies. We went and saw the proposal, it was hilarious. Then we went to Barnes and Noble so i could grab some drawing stuff, a frame and a wedding magazine for Gwen. Gwen ran me to my house real quick so I could grab my cam to print out a pic at wal-greens. Before wal-greens we decided to stop by iHop for dinner, apparently it was American Idol wannabe night in the hop cause everyone kept busting out into song. Mom called wanted me to pick her up some ensure from wal-greens told her no prob. Forgot I needed my converter to be able to print pics at wal-greens ended up grabbing the ensure and some peanut brittle for Drew. Gwen dropped me off and I started cleaning my room and packing for the weekend at Drew's. My mom came in and I let her know I was spending the weekend out there and everything and she told me she asked my dad to move out. She caught him talking to his ex-wife and even making plans to see her when he's in Puerto Rico in August. He told her it was nothing but everything didn't match up. My mom said this isn't the first time something like this happened. She doesn't want him to go but she's not gonna let him be there messing around on her. I told her if he does move out I'll rotate staying there and with Drew and Drew can come stay at the house sometimes so she doesn't have to be alone in the house. Talked to Drew before I went at 2am, man I'm going to be tired tomorrow.

Picture going in the frame

Thank you, but I know what I'm doing

Work was crazy, George helped out with phones again. Went home and Drew picked me up for lunch. We went to the cheesecake factory cause Drew had never been and it was amazing. Then we walked next door to Barnes and Noble to see if they had some books Drew needs to read. Since he treated use to lunch I treated us to books. Then he drove me home we said goodbye and I went inside and took a quick nap. Gwen called wanting to go to the movies and came and picked me up at about 6:40. Got to the mall and the theater was crazy, we forgot it was opening night for transformers so we decided to walk around instead. Ended up getting some goodies fro American Eagle and Aerie. The we decided to try out his place called Mimi's Cafe, it was kind of liek good southern Orlens cooking, it was awesome! Gwen dropped me off at home at about 11pm. Was trying on the new bra I got when my mom did the whole knock as you're walking in thing and wanted to talk about my Andrew situation. Ended up taking to here for almost 30 mins in my doorway in my new bra. She was really worried that Drew is taking advantage of me and that he would repeat his previous actions. I kept assuring her it's not the way it use to be and that I'm not letting him off the hook easily. I just kept letting her know I know what I'm doing. Called Drew to let him know what had just went down and then went and took a shower. Practiced some of my doodling from the book I bought. Talked one last time to Drew and then went to bed.

Doodle that ended up looking like Drew

George

SO work was going pretty ok and then Little George showed up. He decided to answer phones all day and was even talking online ot my friends as me, luckily Sabrina could tell that wasn't me. Drew picked me up for lunch and we went to Red Robin cause we'd never eatin there before. While there he called to check on practice and something weird was going on so we decided to go back to the apartment instead. Power ended up going out so we drove around Dallas with Kason. It was getting late and we were kind of lost and I was seriously worried. Ended up getting back to the apartment just fine around 10pm. My mom called at like 10:30 to be all where are you, cause she hadn't seen me all day. I told her I was out and she was like where so I was like Andrew's and she was all why are you there, and very UGH. So we ended up having it out right there on the phone and I told her I'd be home around Midnight. After that I just had to distract myself so I went into the Kitchen and made all of us some omelets. We all then went outside and talked for a bit until it was time for me to leave. Drew and I stopped by his mom's house first to pick up the journal and I read it aloud to Drew as he drove me home. Said good night to each other and made plans for lunch the next day.

George

Target and Smokes

Woke up and walked into the kitchen Dad completely ignored me and instead spoke to my dog. Work was seriously blah. Got home ran inside to change to really quick, Dad was actually friendly to me, it was strange but much better than silence. Drew picked me up and we went to his place so we could go shopping. Asked him if he thought Kason might like to go and he did so we all piled into the van and left. First we went to Target and got some stuff for the house and then we went to a cigarette shop to find something Kason needed but they didn't have it. Then we drove out to Arlington so we could go to Fry's cause I needed a memory card for my phone. Then we went to a different cigarette shop to find the stuff. After that we headed back to the house. Drew and I just hung out and talked all night, Kason went to the bar, so i made Drew and I sandwiches for dinner. We talked some more and then it was time for me to go home, it keeps getting harder and harder to say good by.

Father's Day

Got up around 10 and talked to Drew some more. Started to get ready so I could go back to my house. Ended up leaving around 1 and stopped at Wal-Greens on the way home cause I needed to get a bag for the GPS I ended up getting my dad. As soon as I walked int he door my dad was standing right there and immediately was like "you live here you sleep here, you can't stay at anyone's house ever!" I was seriously like WTF and just continued walking to my room. I called Drew and told him what he said and then there was a long pause, and I was like what's your look? He was like my look is ridiculous, and I was like huh and he was like Move in with me. I was like what?! He was like move in with me, and I was like I don't know there's so that has to go into that before I can make a decision. He had to go to a meeting, so I went and took a shower. Then I texted Gwen to see where she was at. I met her up at target, and told her all about what happened. We went to walmart and walgreens and then back to her house to watch Army wives. I got home around 11 and called Drew. We talked some more about the moving in thing and I told him some stipulations I had before anything could happen and he agreed to them so I said ok, and he was like ok? and I go OK so he was like you're moving in?! and I was like Yup and he was all "HAPPY DANCE!" lol We talked till 1 in the morning and then I went to bed.

Seeing the Parents

Never really went to bed due to all the texting. Got out of bed though around 630 to shower and get ready to go to Drew's. Left at 7 and got there early, had to wait for him to get there so I could get in the gate. Drew didn't even tell Kason I was coming over so it was a bit of a shock to him. Got upstairs and started talking, Drew just looked like he was in so much pain, he kept saying how glad he was that I was there and how much he was sorry for everything. We talked about how he came to his current state but started to get tired so we went to bed. Got up around 2 cause we needed to go to the Library to pick up a book for my mom cause I told her I'd do it for her. We drove to walmart first cause my hair looked crazy and being that he's a boy with short hair he didn't have a brush. Picked up some other crap and then we headed out to Arlington. Got the book dropped it off at my house and told my dad I'd be late. Headed back to Dallas and stopped at McDonalds on the way for lunch. Ended up talking more, then around 8 he called his parents to see if they were awake and going to be up for a bit cause he never dropped off the mother's day or father's day stuff I had bought for them. I felt fine the whole way there until we turned onto the main street, then the nerves hit me. Drew unlocked the door and went into the house, I stopped to lock the door back up and as I was doing it I could hear his parents saying HI to him and looking at the gifts, then I rounded the corner and they saw me and you could tell they were shocked by my presence. We stayed for a bit and made general small talk with them. Drew and I left and stopped at walmart for some fruit to snack on, while we watched movies. Drove back out to Dallas and talked about how awkward that just was. Got to his place and decided to talk more instead of watching the movies. Started to get tired around 1 and then at 130 my Dad called to be like you coming home? I was like no I'm gonna spend the night out here, and he was like oh where are you at Gwen's? and I was like well actually I'm at Andrew's he angrily said OK and then hung up on me. I turned to Drew and was like dude my Dad is pisssssssed Drew was like I was afraid of that. I was like ugh whatever I'll deal with it tomorrow and we went to bed.

Friday the 19th

Work was pretty blah, we did have an ice cream party at work to celebrate the beginning of summer. Called Gwen to see if she wanted to go to Hobby Lobby since I needed to look for some sequins. Actually ended up going with my mom, and Gwen met us up there. I picked up some art supplies for my dad since father's day was coming up. Then we went to Joanns cause we couldn't find everything at Hobby Lobby. Then we drove around and talked about John. Gwen dropped me off at home and then I was texting Drew about coming to get the chair form my house and when he was gonna drop off the journal. We ended up texting all night, joke flirting, and talking about the past and he kept sasking can I see you so can I see you I finally gave in and said yes. I agreed to drive out to his place around 7 am when he was getting off of work.

Hangover and shirts

Work was so boring, the day seriously dragged by. Got out of work and met Gwen and G-Ma at Cost-Co. Went to TJ Maxx and Academy but couldn't find anything. Went back to Cost-Co to get meds and Gwen got hot dogs and a chicken bake. Drew called said he was done with the next entry and he wanted to drop it off, told him to leave it on my porch or something. D texted me, he has been working a lot and it's stressing him out. :( Dropped of my car at Gwen's and then we went to the mall so we could see The Hangover. We saw Gwen's old crush as we were walking into the mall, it was awkward and hilarious. Got a piece of pizza and then went into the movies. Hangover was hilarious, GO SEE IT! Got out decided to go see what AE had since Gwen had some free gift cards and I had a 10 bucks off card. We each got a shirt and sunglasses and Gwen got a bag and it was all free thanks to our cards! Walked around the mall some more went into Anchor Blue got Gwen and I a shirt and I got some hair crap. Drove past my house to get the book, couldn't find it anywhere turns out my parents had already grabbed it. lol Drove around with Gwen talking, got home at about 10:30. Someone locked the garage door so I couldn't get in, was forced to ring the door bell and wake my parents up. Wrote back to Drew let him know I was done so he could come pick it up in the AM. Found out the other journal holders are his Mom, Dad, Uncle John, his best friend Nik and his new friend Kenneth. In his entry he said the project started with me, not sure how I feel about that. He also signed his entry with something we use to say to each other, like a secret code type of thing, I told him he's not aloud to say that to me anymore. Turned off my lamp and fell asleep listening to my iPod.

Gotta Work!

Work was crazy. This whole week has been completely out of wack. Got home talked to Bri over the computer. She made fun of the way I say sandwich. lol Can't wait till she comes to visit. :D Went with Gwen to get some stuff for her teeth, her dentist told her she didn't need to get her top wisdom teeth out but now they are trying to come in and pushing her other teeth. Freakin dentist. Went to Chickfila for brownies! Then had a club sandwich at the Cheesecake Factory. Had to go to joanns to get some crap, then to the Post Office to drop off mail. Went home early and put on my new workout clothes and started to work out. The one day I choose not to workout at like 11 o clock everyone shows up and wants to see what I'm doing. Finally got my workout on without on lookers. Not only did I do my regular Medium Intensity workout I did a 40 minute hard workout. I feel GREAT! My legs were killing me but I felt amazing. Took a shower and just passed right out. WOOHOO for gettin fit!

I thought Monday's were suppose to be bad

Ok so My Tuesday started out pretty normal, got up was still really tired managed to get to work and started working on the computer. Then I got a text from D which I was like HOLY CRAP it's early, turns out he had an appointment at 6:30 so he was up early. In the middle of us texting my phone rings, its the ex. I'm like wtf this is weird we haven't talked in like a month, so of course i answer and I'm all like heeelllllooo??? He wants to drop of something he says and will be at my job in 20minutes, I'm like ok see you then. The aforementioned letter was what I got inside a hard back journal. After reading the letter I sort of wept and then I went to write my response but for some reason after writing his name I was filled with a tremendous rage. I scrawled 2 pages worth and then apon re-reading his letter I was like no you don't get to hear from me and ripped the pages out and instead wrote: I have nothing to say you're the one that needs to talk. Vee. Then I had a nice break until 10am, D was back from his appointment and acting strange saying crazy things and causing more drama I'm like seriously can I go home get back into bed a try again tomorrow. We continued talking and it got better but something still feels off. Went home finished my letter to D and then my computer started being a butt and word kept crashing, of course I hadn't saved my letter in awhile so I was freakin out. Gwen came home we went to dinner and I told her all the drama. Knowing the ex has band practice on Tuesday we drove by and I dropped off the book on his windshield, not sure if he got it or not but eh I delivered it. Continued to drive around talking, went home and managed to fight my computer for the freakin letter but by the time I was done it was 1am.

My response:

Monday

Didn't do much of anything. work was pretty blah, went home it's a rest day so no workout! woohoo! Went to the outback with Gwen for dinner was texting D of course lol. Went driving around saw a coyote, starting possible making plans to go to Phx for X-mas. Was up writing till late, I really need to get bed earlier.

Random Letter on Tuesday from the person this Blog isn't suppose to be about

To
Veronica
and To
Andrew
A record of understanding

Cara
this book is one of six i have given to people of varying importance in my life
the idea is that we can respond to each others letters within the same journal
i have decided to do this because there are many people whom i claim to know yet when i really ask myself i have to say"do i really know them?"
i have chosen to a written format for a couple of reasons, the first of which is that i feel it is much more personal than the more mediated forms of communication which we have available in these days
the second is that i realized i had all but forgotten how to write, relying on computers to do most of my thinking and talking for me
and what better way to re-learn how to write than to write
lastly i feel there can be questions or topics which just do not come to mind in face to face communication this is a way in which we may be able to truly see into each others hearts minds and lives
I encourage you to use this to ask or tell me about anything-under the sky I want it to be completely open ended
I have chosen you, who was my lover for 3 years and probably the best girlfriend i have ever had for this because we shared many fond memories together which i do not wish to cloud with the retarded ending or our relationship which i put you through
i also feel as though i have a lot to explain, and i hope to do so if you will lend your eyes to read these words
towards the end i felt as though i barely knew you
a fact which i blame myself for
my only hope in this with you is that we can use it to forge a lasting friendship as there are many aspects of our relationship i would still see worth saving
if you wish i will share our written dialogue with not a soul but my own
these pages are intended for you and I alone
however i put no such stipulation on my own words
feel free to share them with whomever you please
my words and thoughts are for any and all
to read
My name is Andrew
i was your lover for three years
and i hope to still be your friend: i work for a data hosting company called the planet in Dallas i enjoy my work but sometimes it can be exhausting
the last couple of months have been filled with immense spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical changes in my life
i remitted some time after how terrible i had been to you and for that i am truly sorry
i hope at least a small part of you will want to read these words and even more so find it in your heart to forgive me and work with me to come to a better understanding of each other
for this entry i will leave it open ended please ask me anything you like tell me a story anything
be as verbose or as terse as you wish
however if it is your will and this does not interest you at all please feel free to send me no response
i do not wish to impose the expectation of a response only do so if you really want to
hope you're doing well-Andrew

I have no words for this

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Got up around 11, went to do some computer stuff, heard the banging gong of my phone being like text message! Figured it was Gwen being like ready to go shopping?! Turns out nope it was a cute little good morning message from D. :D So the texting started hehe. Finished waking up and getting ready while we continued to text, tried that KFC grilled chicken finally, it was ok. Gwen called to be like still wanna go and I was like ugh YEAH! She came and got me around 2, Her, Gma and I went to Old Navy and Target. Gwen told me how much the active kicked her butt too and that made me feel good that I wasn't the only one lol. Dropped Gma off at home then Gwen and I went to 7-11 for a Slurpee and so I could clean up the melted chocolate out of her cup holder. Kept texting D this whole time. Went to Joanns and then we drove around for a bit trying to think of something to do, we eventually went back to my house and played some Wii, I started my laundry and we watched Army Wives. Then we drove around talking and texting more crazy questions to D. He seriously cracks us up. Went home finished up my laundry, and did my Active workout for that day, and took a shower. Managed to keep texting during all of this. Went to lay down for bed around 12:45. D and I kept texting till about 2 in the morning when I think we both just passed out. If my texting keeps up like this I'm going to seriously have to get a larger text plan. LOL Ugh I have to be up at 6:30 why do I do this to myself??? Oh yeah cause I'm boy crazy lol

I see they call you Dee, I'm Vee

Got up started to work on some of my writing, got distracted my the wii active. OMG did that thing kick my butt. I nearly passed out, but I felt awesome afterwords, especially after a long hot shower. Finished up my writing for today. Went out with Gwen to target so she could get her Active, they didn't have it so we went to Toys R Us instead. Man they had a lot of crap I wanted. Drove around talking and laughing. Spent most of the night texting with Dee, he seriously cracks me up. Came home did some facebook quizzes and now I'm about to go write some more and then go to sleep. Gwen wants to go to Old Navy and Joanns tomorrow. Today was amazing!

TGIF

Work was pretty blah, was still trying to get my dad on a flight out but due to the weather the day before it was a no go. Plus side my sister called with my ransom, yeah!!!! Gwen needed to go pick up some stuff from Ulta, she got me this cool lip plumper stuff that makes my lips all tingly. I didn't really see them get bigger though, even though I have very full lips naturally I have an obsession with lip plumping stuff. Also came to the realization that I have an eyebrow fetish type issue, apparently full thick well groomed eyebrows get me going, lol. Went to the cheesecake factory for well cheesecake since I had never been, ran into an old friend from high school, it was weird. Oh i got to see another don't stop stop sign. I love seeing them. This one said Don't STOP loving!. Weather was crazy. I also dyed my hair a nice red, really it was just a touch up from my color before but it looks good especially with my bangs. My mom and sister got in from Phx around 10. I spent the rest of the night writing and then it was time for bed.

UP! and active

Work was blah. Weather was crazy. All the flights my dad was trying to take out to Phx were canceled. Went home this stuff I ordered to help preserve a flower my sister got at my aunt's service came in, so I worked on setting that whole thing up. Went to target to get my friend's daughter some cute outfits for her B-Day. Got myself the Wii active to help with the whole "we will be skinny" thing lol. Went and saw the movie UP!, soooo incredible cute. Oh and what is it with all the matriarchs dieing in Disney movies before you're even like 10 mins in??? I cried, I laughed, I even jumped out of seat lol all in all great movie go see it! Got home dealt with the whole trying to book my dad for a flight to Phx for the funeral, bad weather has really made things crazy.

Back to work

Went to work didn't really have anything to catch up on except for the fact that somehow while I was gone the postage machine broke so I had to set up the new one and then try to figure out how to get our money out of the old one without being able to power it on. Went home got in my pjs and just basically lounged around. It helped that the weather stated getting crazy and the power kept going out.

Phx Day 7

Got up and got ready to go to the airport, I'm actually kind of sad about going back home. It's different being here with everyone basically being a grown up now. All that scrabbling is gone and we just hang out and have fun. Made it on the First flight out, got home at about 4:30 unpacked, played with my dogs, did laundry, caught up on computer crap, watched TV and passed out.

Phx Day 6

Got up early to shower and make sure I general smell really nice in case I do end up having to sit on someones lap. Ate McDonald's for breakfast turns out we were really early getting ready. Went to pick up Di he wasn't ready, we tired to wait but we really had to get to my Nana's to pick up sister and then get to the Chapel. Fam could be there at 10 and the service started at 12 and it was already 9:20. Irene (Di's mom) said Di was in a mood and she might take him and we'd see them at the service but she said she'd take him the other day too and he got there at the end. Went and got Monique and Heather they were running late due to other ppl in the house taking extremely long showers and then headed to the Chapel. No one was really doing anything and I felt bad for Di so I told my sister to ask if we could go pick him up since I knew where he was staying. My mom said to call him and make sure he was ok first. Of course he doesn't have a cell but it turns out he had given my sister the number to his Aunt's house at some point so we called and he was fine. He was happy we'd come get him and really appreciative about it. Heather, Monique and I went and picked him up, thankfully my Dad thinks he's a nice guy or I doubt we'd be able to go pick him up. Stopped at Jack int he box to pick up some food for my dad he wasn't hungry when we went to McD's that morning. Di got a banana smoothie and we shared it. Got to the Chapel at about 11. heather was teasing me about Di. Did the service thing again it was crazy. Needed some air so at the end when family could stay in with her longer I went ahead and went outside. Got to my Nana's at about 2 more food of course. My uncle asked when I was gonna make my mom a Nana and I was like ugh I'd have to look for a donor, lol. Di feel asleep on Nana's couch which is a huge no no so I made him go to the bedroom where my sister was staying to sleep since no one was in there. Went in later to get my DS since I was bored. He woke up and was teasing me about wanting to be close to him. LOL He's crazy. Talked to some more of my cousins, stole a pin Di kept dropping on the floor, he didn't mind he just teased me some more. Monique, Heather and I took him back to his house which was way on the other side of town cause he had to be back so he could go to work and stuff. He lives by the Cardinals stadium. Just sort of awkwardly said good bye to each other. Went back to my Nana's for a bit then back to the hotel to sleep before catching my flight home. Should have got Di's addy to keep in touch since I don't know of any other way to. All my cousins have like myspace and stuff so it's easy to keep up with them. Since my sister is staying for the plot thing I told her if she sees him to get.

Phx Day 5

Woke to an 8:30call from the Mortuary, the dress we got my Aunt doesn't fit due to a reaction to the embalming fluid. Nothing opens until 11 am and they have to be to the place at 12 so the girls can do her hair and make-up. We go have breakfast at Denny's then go sit in the ross parking lot waiting for it to open. Run in grab several dresses run out, then run to burlington, grab another dress run out, then to the mall for a small jacket to cover her arms then run out. Make it to my Nana's house by 11:45 Mom and dad grab the girls they go to the place and I stay at my Nana's doing laundry. They get back at about 2:30 we go to the hotel to get ready as the rosary is at starts at 5 but the fam can be there at 4. Get back to Nana's at about 3:30 pick up my sister and Heather and head out. My Nana faints several times, my aunt doesn't look like herself, the whole place is crazy. At the end right before we're all getting ready to leave Di shows up in a terrible mood, it makes me just want to hug him and say sorry. Issues with his mom and getting to Rosary and general fam madness. We go back to Nana's for more food and fam time. Ended up talking to Di a lot we even shared a beer and some cake. He didn't have anyone's number to call when he needed a ride so I gave him my Dad's business card and on the back wrote everyone's number. He didn't realize my Dad was my dad so I'm not sure what he thought was going on there but eh. Ended up taking him to Aunt's again and made plans to pick him up in the morning. We might have to be all mexican to the place in the morning which means as the smallest person I'll be sitting on his lap. I said we'd have to be seat buddies when we were all talking about it in the car and he did the whole shhhh eyes hinting towards my dad thing, not sure why he did that but it was hilarious. Back to the hotel for sleep.

Phx Day 4

Mom and Dad went to take the girls to finalize some more arrangements for my aunt then they are going back to the house clean as everything has to be out my today. Monique dropped Heather off at the hotel to hang out with me since she felt really in the way yesterday not being able to speak Spanish and not really knowing what to do. Parents went and picked up my sister and we went to dinner, cause we all seriously needed a break from Mexican food. Can't really remember what we did that evening at my nana's since all the days sort of blend together. I know we ended up taking Di to his Aunt's house to stay the night but that's about it.

Phx Day 3

Mom and Dad are going to my aunt's house to clean it up and empty it out. I stayed at the hotel cause I knew I'd just be in the way since I don't know whats important. They came and picked me up at about 5 and we went to my Nana's house for food and more family time. I walked in and saw this guy on the couch I sooo didn't recognize, turns out its Dimitri, didn't really see much of him growing up as he's more of a step cousin thing who's not really related to the fam and didn't come over that much with his step bros who are my cousins, and man does he look different. Talked to my cousins a lot about nothing really. Played with my cousins new baby and met his fiance they are both super cute. Hit the hotel at about 2am again.

Phx Day 2

Got up ate some Denny's went to my Nana's house. Mom and dad are going to take the girls to the funeral home to make arrangements for my aunt. Stayed at my Nana's hung out with some of my cousins, went to the library so Heather could use the computer to try to get more days off work. Went back to my Nana's house and basically hung out there till 2am again.

Phx Day 1

Woke up the phone ringing at 620 in the morning. My aunt passed away ont eh operating table, time to go to Phoenix. Still had to go to work though first. Went to work turned in my leave request form got home ran to the mall to grab clothes then off to the airport. Got to Phx at about 10pm went to my Nana's house, was there till about 2am then back to the hotel for sleep.

Arizona

Sorry for the lack of posts had a fam emergency and left to Arizona super quick. Will update on everything when I'm not freakin tired!

Ugh Can't think of anything interesting that happened. Worked on swap stuff and relaxed. Oh I know I got serenaded by Sabrina's kids over the computer mic. It was hilarious. I loved it! Can't wait to see them in person!

Also I created a Fan Page for my Gnome that travels the world, if you'd like to follow him too. Droo or his best friend Billyum

Ugh Monday

Woke up late, work was nuts. The whole day felt like it was creeping by. Went home the groomer butchered my dogs. My mom took them to the groomer to get their booty trimmed since it was getting really dirty from going potty. My mom told the lady don't shave them just trim it up so it's shorter, well what did she do, SHAVED THEM. Now my dogs have shaved racing stripes up their butts. They even go into the tail, who shaves the tail??? Ugh Riley feels completely embarrassed you can see it in his actions while Mika is becoming a lot more friendly. Both dogs are starting to get comfortable in the new house, I even found Riley taking a nap on my dad later in the evening. Mika has learned that if you're in the kitchen while my dad is cooking he'll feed you so that's where you can usually find her. LOL Oh the weight contest officially kicked off today, my dad Weighs in at 176.8 and I'm 159.3. We will be weighing in ever Friday. You're welcome to join our competition if you'd like. First one to loose 20lbs wins :D if you don't have 20 lbs to loose you can just race against our weight loose to see if you can get to your goal before we loose 20. Happy Eating :)

Puppy Shopping

Got up did the dog thing, again. Hung out with my parents and all the puppies in the backyard. Mom helped me to clean their backsides a little before they go to the groomers on Monday. Went to petsmart to get some tags for my dogs and a new feeder and food. The tag works machine at petsmart is cool, I got to do some fun fonts for my puppies too. Got back and then ended up going to some new store compassing trading and got a wallet and then to Target for some under bed storage. Sister called while I was there and said she needed me to let her dogs in again cause now she wouldn't be home till 2am. UGH!!!! Slowly have started unpacking and placing all my crap in my room. Watched Lost in Austen from my netflixs mail dvds ended up being waaaaay longer than I expected and didn't finish till 12:15 then I just couldn't fall asleep. Ugh I'm tired.

BBQ

Got up in MY bed hehe took my dogs then when and took my sisters dogs out. Did some crocheting, made a much better asparagus this time but the "flower" still seems too small. Started making a slice of cake and an apple. Was watching TV and ended up passing out with Mika, even missed a call on my phone despite it being right next to me. Got up again lol showered, and went to my friends house for a BBQ and some wii time. Did the dog thing again, and went home and went to bed.

The Hurt of the Sea

OMG My palms are killing me, even gripping the steering wheel hurts. My chest is sore to where I was pushing the mow as I fought my battle. Work was soooo slow and boring, I was praying for ppl to bring me work to do. Of Course they don't want to bring me stuff to do till 2:47 when I get off at 3. Did the dog thing for my sister. Went to my friends house and played some wii, got invited to a BBQ and then came home and slept. All in all it was a pretty normal nice relaxing end to the week. Oh I made some asparagus that turned out to look rather phallic so needless to say it's getting re-worked lol. I'll post pics after I make the new one. Off to craft, Have a good weekend.

Sea of Green

Work was eh, went home relaxed, ate some dinner and then mowed the lawns. It was the first time I've ever mowed. It was crazy, I did the front just fine and then started on the back about 3/4ths of the way through the back my legs and hands started really hurting, and then the mowed cut off. Luckily it just need gas. Went to go take a bath and realized my sister had gone out of town today and I was suppose to go and let her dogs and in and stuff. Went and did that and then was like wait who's letting them out in the morning since I leave for work so early and am usually either right on time for work or about 5 mins late. Called my sis and she got all whiny You said you'd take care of them like last time, well last time I didn't have to go to work. Also I begrudgingly agreed in the first place because you were all well we have no one else to do it. You know about this trip (if you can even call it that since they are only in Dallas) for months you planned for yourself to be in a hotel if you were really that concerned about your little dogs having to stay in their pen all day you would have either fixed the holes in the backyard already or put them up in a doggie hotel. It's so annoying that you and mommy both choose to attack me for doing you a damn favor. NO I don't want to have to spend the night at your house cause I'm just getting use to mine, and I want to be in my bed, with my stuff taking care of MY dogs. I don't think I'll be spending the night there and you're just going to have to deal with that. Oh and if your dogs crap in the house because I'm not there to let them out no I won't be cleaning it up.

The Scale

Soooooo I got the scale in. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I thought I was about 180ish this whole time I've been like I'm going to reward myself for each 20lbs I loose and when I loose the 80 I'm getting a tattoo well I stepped on the scale and it turns out I'm 160! Still horrible but not as bad as 180 lol. Technically I've already lost 20lbs and I haven't even started lol. My water weight was fine but my body fat percent was over but not obese thankfully. My parents weigh themselves too and we all created profiles for the scale. My mom is 107 with excessive water weight and underfat on bodyfat percentage. My dad was 175 with perfect water weight and over like I was on bodyfat percentage. Taking the fruit to snack on while I'm at work is already helping, I get home and have a piece of turkey breast and a slice of provolone on a croissant and then 3 hours later I eat dinner and I'm good for the day. Need to unpack some more boxes so I can find my workout stuff. I'm really excited about loosing the weight. Will post pics of my fat ass soon so you can see me as I loose weight. :D

Desk Setup.... Check

To the one who may or may not be reading this, I hope you're finding everything you need/want now, if I can make something better I will. Ok anywhoo Now back to your regularly scheduled Blog.......

So came home relaxed, had a plum for a snack. Checked some tracking on packages. Things should be arriving soon! WOOT! Got the top of my desk screwed on and got my computer completely set up. Now I just have to wait for my mom to switch cable companies and get the wireless internet stuff. Still have a ton of boxes to unpack but I'm getting it done. Ate some chicken and rice soup my mom makes which is out of this world. She went grocery shopping today and now there are tons of healthy snacks. I'm really lucky to have a family that's willing to support me in whatever plans I make and whatever situation I'm going through.

Really?!

My day has already started out on the wrong foot. I don't feel like blogging right now.

Welcome Home

Got up early to check my parents in for their flight, they came home in the afternoon. Went to the mall with my mom in search of a skinny red belt, we didn't find one. :( Finished my fruit swap crap, and put some laundry away. Other than that I've really been enjoying getting to sit around and do nothing. My time is my time now but sometimes I still miss doing things for ppl. Ugh should get my scale in today then the weight loss begins hopefully. I'll keep you posted. Ugh not looking forward to seeing the number on the scale the first time I step on it.

Scale:

Cookies

Was gonna clean but instead I decided to make a shit ton of cookies. Watched tons of bad tv and did the dishes. It was a nice relaxing Sunday.

Hello Neighbor

Ugh didn't do a damn thing yesterday. I cleaned up here a little, and then went and got the stuff to finish crafting but really that's about it. I was feeling so bummy. Oh I did meet one of my neighbors which was odd. SO Gwen drops me back off at home at about Midnight and I'm like I should let the dogs out so they can go potty before I start getting ready for bed and stuff, well I decided to go outside with them so that my dog Mika who is super prissy will go out too. Well the frat guys have to large dogs and you know dogs like to bark so mine start barking and then theirs start and I'm all Riley shhhhh Riley and then I hear them going Ivanna Ivanna then BAM there's a head looking at me over the fence so I do the whole half wave high thing you do to neighbors and he says something but I can't hear cause the dogs are barking and then he was like well see ya later neighbor, and I just did the whole half shrug your shoulders and smile thing. It was so weird. Oh and I know you're wondering if he was hot, well from what I saw he wasn't like super hot but he was decent, but for all I know in none bug light lighting he could be David Beckham hot. LOL

Here are my dogs Mika and Riley, Mika has the white chest

Friday

Work was pretty blah, meant to stop at joanns to get some craft stuff but turned the wrong way, I'm still not use to going the other way from work. Came home talked to Bri for a bit she's so silly. Starting planning out going to FL. I'm really looking forward to it. Sister called about a party so I went had lots of fun, didn't get home till almost 2am. My arm is now killing me. Got some shots of Heather and then at teh party, will post when I'm not so tired. My neighbors were having a party too, apparently it's like a bunch of frat guys renting the house or something but I'm not sure. Ugh I need caffeine.

Pics of my sister and Heather Rockin out

Thursday

Watched some movies with Gwen, was gonna work on some swap stuff but apparently I have no idea where I packed it. Parents are out of town for the long weekend. Work is really testing me lately. I enjoyed being in the house alone.

TV

Ok got more of my room together, WOOHOO TV and cable I can actually see clear. Did lots of laundry and got all my clothes put away, ended up with lots of left over hangers either I lost shirts or took too many from the other house. lol Got my etsy order done and then just really relaxed, well as much relaxing as I could do after unpacking. Been seriously thinking out moving out of state, my job is irking me, life is kindda of crappy right now and I could use a change of scenery. I'd be terrified to leave my family but maybe it would be for the best and it's not like it would have to be permanent if I didn't like it I could always move back. :D


Hmmmm,
Veronica Vaughn lol

Chinese and Crafts

Shitty Day at work couldn't wait to get home. Since Mom was with her movie club and Dad was stuck trying to get a flight back home I decided to set my desk up in my room. It still needs to have the top screwed on but at least its in place and I can finish setting up tonight. Did some house hold errands you know got some groceries and picked up some stuff for my mom for her trip. Had some yummy Chinese WOOT! Ricewok. Have been super behind on the swaps I do on Craftster.Org I finally got 2 of them finished and sent off, thank god! So my face is breaking out like a bandit and I've decided to try I will document in photos how it goes and let you know. I can tell you that spot treatment stuff totally works though I've already seen a difference from just using it last night.

The First Night

Since there's only a couple of non essentials still at the other house I went ahead and decided to stay at my mom's house. It's weird being there after so long, I feel like I'm intruding on my parents life, I know that they'll always have a place for me in their home and all but I still feel wrong for being there. All of my stuff is shoved into the garage right now while my Dad is in Puerto Rico so my "room" is a twin bed and a little table with a lamp and my alarm clock. I hope to get most of my stuff set up today so that I can actually hang out in my room, especially since my parents are going out of town Thursday-Monday and I won't have anyone to help me.

It's weird being in that room cause it's not even my old room really. It's the room I lived in when we first moved to that house but after my sister moved out I took over her room and that's been my room since like the 4th grade, unfortunately that room is now my mothers craft room and the whole room is filled with stuff, you can barely walk in there. Also the room I'm in now was my Tata's room up until now. He passed away last Memorial day and in case you're wondering yes in that room but no not in that bed.

Didn't do much yesterday, bought over a bunch of crap and then my mom wanted to go shopping. My sister was suppose to help me bring over the larger of my crap that I can't fit in my Del Sol but as usual something distracted her so she didn't call to be like ok I'm ready until late at night, when I was getting ready to go to bed.

Intro

So After 2 1/2 years of living on my own I've had to move back into my parents house due to certain issues with life. I've decided to keep a diary of sorts on the daily crap I go through trying to live back at home. This is will not have all the over dramatic crap with my issues (I'll save that for my Melo) but more just a telling of what happens when at 24 you decided to move back home and dealing with my parents now. I hope whoever decides to actually read this enjoys pics cause I'm going to try to have lots of fun things to look at. :) Well on to the show!
