In Biloxi now...hanging with grandma L and Mom. Went to the casino last night and amazingly won $120 on the 5 cent slot machines! WHAT is that about?!?! Anywho...Next door neighbor who, might I add, is freakin 60 something years old, went out to a bar, got smashed, DROVE home and fell out of his car and smashed his face on the concrete and PASSED OUT! It was unbelievable...kind of sad actually. Of course, when G called me we were right in the midst of dealing with that drama, but I REALLY wanted to tell him that I won the money...so...I told him, "Hey...gotta call you back. We've got some major drama going on here...Neighbor passed out drunk in the driveway. But I have GOOD NEWS!" Without skipping a beat my witty hunny says, "You saved a bunch of money on your car insurance by switching to Geico?!" I about fell out. And this has been the laugh that has been circulating through my family since last night. Leave it to G to bring humor where you think there is none.
I'm pretty freakin excited about going out with my little sis on Friday. It's so funny that we've never been really close and thanks to the miracle of Yahoo Messenger we are talking every day. I feel so old being around her and talking to her. It's been 10 years since I've been 14 and I'd forgotten what it was like. She starts highschool TOMORROW. FREAKIN HIGHSCHOOL! That means that I'm REALLY REALLY old. HA! But anyway, when I go back to town Friday the first thing on my agenda is to take her out on the town, which I've never done. We have NEVER really even spent time alone together. She spent the night at my apartment about 4 years ago or something, but we didn't go out or anything, so now we ARE! Which means I will be driving 3 hours back to Jackson tomorrow morning (Thursday) and then turning right around and driving almost 4 hours back to Birmingham Friday morning. Ugh...and THEN I have to get ready and drive out to Pinson to get her, then drive an hour back to Bessemer to eat dinner, then drive to Hoover to watch a movie, then drive her back home to Pinson, THEN drive myself BACK to Hoover. But it will totally be worth it. And I'm pretty used to the drive now, though I'm sure my ailing hip does NOT thank me! Anywho...me and K are going to eat at G's resturaunt and then we are probably going to go see the Fantastic Four! WOO HOO! LOL. Fun fun.
Grandma L and my mom are talking about Grandpa D outside and telling the story over and over again about how he died. UGH. I miss him a lot and I'm tired of hearing about his death. But oh well. I know it's good for them to keep talking about it. I'm just going to walk away when they start to.
Mom and I were also talking about the incident between UJ and M&D. I didn't realize that M had such a loyalty to D. Talking about it made me sad because I always had this view of M that she was the sweetest lady on the planet. And I still believe that she was the sweetest lady on the planet. It just kind of stung to hear a person that you've put up on this huge pedestal get knocked down a couple notches. But anyway.
Well, I guess that's about it for now, cause I'm just staring so hard at the computer screen that my eyes go in and out of focus, know what I mean? SO...I will write more laters. Peace out home chili fries!
