Just like a tattoo
Wow! It's been a long time since I updated...I'm surprised I even remembered my password.
I'm at home today because of the bad weather and bored out of my mind. I don't see how people can be stay at home parents. But I guess they're not confined to their house every day so maybe it wouldn't be that bad. Work can be really stressful and aggravating but at least I have something to do all day.
Florida was fun but driving with other people is just not my thing. That won't happen again. By the time we got back, everyone was at each other's throat and everyone went their separate ways without saying goodbye. My sister still hasn't talked to her father in law because of an incident that happened on the way home. Live and learn.
Life has been quite boring lately. I'm still single, 6 months now. It's not bad except for one thing and if you put your mind in the gutter you can figure out that one.
Last Sunday was my birthday and it was fine except my best friend CM forgot it. It really hurt my feelings and even though she called the next day apologizing on my voice mail, I still haven't called her back. She is so wrapped up in her beer and her boyfriend that she obvisously doesn't have time for me. I guess I really need to write a post about our friendship because there's so much to say. It's hard to believe we were so close for so long and now, she forgets my fuckin birthday! Moving on...
Amber is good. We still spend tons of time together. She's been driving and gets better each time. It's funny because now she has become a back seat driver and will stomp on an imaginary brake pedal from the passenger side. She never use to do that!
My Mom and Dad are leaving Florida tomorrow because my grandpa is with hospice and is expected to pass anytime. He had a stroke 3 years ago and his health has steadily gone down hill since. I hate the thought of my Mom and Dad driving 700 miles in crappy weather without stopping but my Dad wants to get home to see his Dad before he goes. My grandpa is 89 years old and has lived a long, good life so it isn't terribly sad but death in general is not a happy thing.
Just to leave things on a happy note...Even though I turned 36 last weekend, I got carded for cigarettes and a new waitress at Marty's thought Amber and I were sisters. I still got it!!

Time flies...and I still have that book and another one. I'll actually be in your neighborhood tomorrow night, I should put them in my truck so I can return them to you.
Sorry about your grandpa.
But, what? Amber is DRIVING? Geez, it doesn't seem like so long from that day that I gave her a copy of "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret..."
