Lazy Days

Hey,

Last night after I tried and failed to get a friend to come with me, Holly, Brad and I went out to those dinky little bars in Maybee. It was Maybee Day so instead of there being 5 people in the bars, there were about 10. Awesome.

It actually wasn't too bad though, I surprisingly had a really good time considering that my entire body was aching from the car accident.

We stayed there until close and then went back and went to sleep.

After waking up this morning Holly and I went home, ate hash browns and then went shopping. It was DREADFUL. We both felt horrible and probably should have just stayed home, but we made it through.

Ever since then we've kind of just been sleeping, eating and watching movies. Nothing exciting. Right now Forrest Gump is on and Holly is showering.

Man, I write exciting blogs. I don't even want to do this anymore. Everything has been going so good, but I am so sick of writing about things because it's not interesting to anyone but myself.

Ah, fuck it.

I'll still be back tomorrow, guh.

Crashed

Okay -


So last night Kateylnn and I went out to her house after we did a bout of babysitting for my sister Angie. We watched a movie and went right to sleep only to wake up at 7 to be back at my house for Autumn's dance recital.

We got here, showered, and got ready to leave only to realize that we had lost the tickets. So Holly left with out Katelynn and myself only to call us a few minutes later and tell us that Autumn's dad had some extra tickets. So we hopped into Katelynn's car and away we went. Nothing could stop us now.

Except a giant handicap van.

Some woman in front of us slammed on her breaks because she wasn't paying attention so then Katelynn had to slam on her breaks too, only thing is - they didn't really work.

Then we crashed into the giant handicap van. The airbags flew out, the radio flew out, but we did not. I don't know what happened but something smashed out the windshield and everyone thought it was my head. My head seems to be intact even if we're a little bit sore.

Everyone was okay, even the lady in front of us who didn't even check on her handicap child was fine, she was only worried about her wig falling off. Crazy biatch.

So here we are, towed back to the house, car totaled.

Awesome.

I'm not sure where everything is going to go from here but I'm trying to convince Katelynn to go to Maybee Night with me tonight and just relax.

I'm going to take a note out of Stupid JK Rowling's book and just assume that all will be well.

I'll be back tomorrow people, probably in a lot more pain than I am now.

Peace,
Faith

13/11/11

It's 8:23am.


I have been up for one hour, and thirteen minutes.
Thinking.


Thirteen years, eleven months, and eleven days ago I was a goofy seven year old watching my dad pace the living room. He was waiting on a phone call from my Aunt Kathy that would officially make it legal for people to call him Grandpa. He was 42 years old, and not even upset about it. When the call finally came, it was such a relief. His first grandchild was in the world, and we were allowed to use the phone again.

So here we are. Today.

Thirteen years, eleven months, and eleven days later - that first born grandchild is about to graduate the eight grade. It's her last day of middle school before she enters into the high school, and starts the journey that will eventually make her life everything that she ever wanted it to be. She's going to make mistakes, but hopefully not big ones, and she's going to hit some pot holes, but hopefully not deep ones.

I believe in her more than I have ever believed in anyone. If there is a person on this earth that has the ability to make their dreams into realities, it's Hannah. She may have an attitude all the time, and I might want to knock her out at least once a day. But SHE HAS GOT IT. Everything she's going through comes with the age. Eventually she's going to wake up, and her parents will have a grown person on their hands. It only comes with patience and perseverance. She has the ability to overcome anything life throws her way. I know this because she's just like her mother, the ability to overcome is built into their blood.

So all that I hope for on this special day is that she starts to laugh like she's never laughed, and smile like she's never been so happy and only let the tears linger for a little while.

I also hope she's ready to take on the world, because it's been waiting for her for thirteen years, eleven months, and eleven days.

So Long and Farewell...

Yo, yo!

Today was generally pretty annoying. A lot of things happened that got on my nerves, but I'm over it now so all is well.

Autumn ended up staying home from school because she had a dress rehearsal for her dance recital on Saturday. So I three barrel curled her hair, and got her outfit on and stuff and her dad picked her up. By this point Hannah was getting ready for her 8th Grade Farewell Dance. Let me tell you, she looked GORGEOUS. I can't recall a time that she looked so beautiful. You don't have to take my word for it either, because I'll post pictures.

Aside from all that jazz, Katelynn's car is fixed, her interviews are going well and we're on the fast track to a new apartment. Woooo!!!!!

As for this weekend I'm not really sure what I have going on. I know I have Autumn's recital on Saturday morning and then my old bosses concert thing on Saturday night, but other than that, I have no idea.

But I won't keep you waiting anymore, with out further ado - check out this beautiful young lady.




Have a happy Thursday everyone!

Gulf Coast

Guhhhhh!!!!

Am I really going to have to go over this AGAIN with you folks? Am I really seeing people say "Why is the American Government helping Haiti still when we should be having Save the Gulf concerts?"


People, shut the fuck up.

I understand that there is some crazy things going on in the Gulf Coast and that BP needs to get their shit together and stop polluting the water. I also understand that there are TONS of animals dying, and people losing their jobs, but there are NOT human beings losing their lives. No one is starving.

I am all for the idea of having concerts and raising money to save the gulf, but it doesn't mean that you have to bitch about Haiti......AGAIN.

Give it a rest you ignorant fucks. We should help whoever we want to. I want there to be help in the Gulf, but I also want there to be help in Haiti.

Whatever happened to wanting World Peace? Now you're all just acting selfish and annoying.

It's getting on my nerves.

See you tomorrow,
Faith

All Right.

Hey, hey!

I think the interview went pretty good today. The interviewer seemed nice enough, she didn't seem as thrilled to be there as I was, but she was doing 10 interviews today. I guess I don't blame her.

After that was over I headed back to Huron Heights and watched Holly work for awhile before coming home, getting Autumn off the bus and CRASHING. I don't know if it was the interview or the fact that Hannah has been waking me up every morning by not shutting the alarm off before she leaves the house, but I was EXHAUSTED. I actually just woke up, it's almost 7pm and I got Autumn off the bus at 4:15pm. LAZY.

Right now I'm trying to convince Auttie to tell me what she wants to have for dinner, and not getting any responses. Holly and Hannah went out dress shopping because Hannah has her 8th grade Farewell Dance on Thursday. It's pretty exciting.


Anyway, hopefully Katelynn's brother fixes her car soon so we can go out job hunting some more. I mean this woman today did have nine other options. So I better keep looking...

Until tomorrow,
Faith

Nerves and Babies.

Today I got a call from the employer that I mentioned yesterday. We set up an interview for tomorrow morning, and I am FREAKING OUT.

I've never gone on an interview in my entire life, so I suppose we'll see how it goes. I just don't know what to say, or how to answer their questions. I guess I'm just going to be myself and try to relax.

In other news, my cousin Kelly had a baby yesterday! It's a girl, but they still haven't picked out a name. My Grams is really hoping that she'll name it Anna because of someone that she knew in her youth. Holly and I both promised that if she didn't the next girl we have will be an Anna. Here's a HUGE congratulations to Kelly and the new little babes.

For the rest of the night I guess I'll be making peanut butter cup cookies. I'm not really thrilled about it but Autumn is insistent that they get made tonight so she can bring them to school tomorrow. Woo...not.

I'll be back tomorrow,
Faith
