Well Christmas/Yule was full of ups and downs. I had a surprisingly good time at Eric's parents house. The day before we walked into the house arms full of gifts and where surprised to see his uncle visiting there. I hadn't seen Eric's uncle Pete in a while and it was nice to see that he was well. We did a small exchange of gifts that night and his uncle whom works as a chef got us some really awesome cooking supplies for our new house. Also that night Heather, his lil sister, pulled me aside to enlist my help in a Christmas surprise for Eric. She was worried that if he got up in the middle of the night and snooped (which he is known to do because he acts like a child on Christmas morning hehe) that I was to direct him back to bed before he could uncover a special Christmas prank she was pulling on him.
Well the next morning just as Heather called it, Eric did the tip toe down the stairs. Unfortunately she was already awake so when he asked "what is on my car?" she and I looked out the window with him and all got a good laugh. For all of you whom don't know, every year since 04 Eric and she have been having a "sponge bob" off. They find the most ridicules sponge bob memorabilia for each other be it shirts, pinatas, lamps and many many other goofy things. Well this year Heather took the cake. Some how she managed to get a parade balloon the size of a huge truck and anchored it to Eric's car in the middle of the night along with 6 other teenagers. Hehe. Needless to say Eric and I have a Parade float hovering off of our front yard balcony right now which is more than mildly humorous.
Not long after "Mr. Bob" made himself known did the rest of the family get up and we began to rip apart brightly colored wrapping paper descending like vultures on each box. The Highlights of the treasure trove under the tree was Heather's I-Pod Touch, Josh's Chain Saw, John's (Eric's dad)Mountain bike, Mary's (Eric's mom)Vacuum cleaner, Eric's Microwave and my Graphics Card, computer chair and DDR SuperNova. (They spoiled me a bit)
Everything was going great, there was no fighting everyone was playing with their new toys and pretty happy until we all sat down for breakfast... that is when the down happened heh. My sock got stuck under the chair leg and as I was sitting down, before I could catch my balance, there was a sickening crunch... yes people I broke my big toe. How you might ask do I know its broken... well aside from feeling it crunch and seeing the nail bleed right away, its swollen three times its original size, as purple as it can get and oh the biggest clue of all... its bent in a really funny angle which Eric's dad had to reset for me. Heh bright side I managed not to interrupt prayers heh. They where saying grace and doing the whole holding hands thing and I bit down on my lips and practically crunched Eric's hand but managed to hold in the whimper and sob until "Amen." LOL
((will write more later trust me there is much more I just got tired of typing lol)) Current Mood:  Hmmm |

"Smile though your heart is aching, smile even though its breaking. When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by. If you smile, through your fears and sorrows, smile and maybe tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through just for you. If you just smile."
Have you ever had that sickening moment where you feel like the world is made of glass around you and if you step wrong everything might shatter into a pile of glittering glass? Not to mention the concern of how you'd put everything back together. With all of those shattered pieces and shards on the floor, its no wonder we step so cautiously at times. I mean one wrong move and you can get cut. And if you put said shattered world back together, depending on how bad the damage is, will it ever look the same?
Just food for thought.
Night all :)
Current Mood:  Empathetic |

Hey all, I'm doing well I guess. I just checked GreyHound ticket prices and I have some bad news. I was planning on coming home for a week between the 11th - 18th that way I could attend Ray's baby shower, see Amy, maybe drive up and visit Sarah and Jake (sorry Lauren.. your too far lol ) and also spend my Birthday with my family (since I couldn't spend Christmas with them -_-| ) but after looking at the prices of the round trip tickets currently, its way too high for my price range. Usually round trip tickets average around 60 dollars well this time around its up to about 129 probably due to gas prices, that’s almost double what I usually pay and me being with out a job currently I just can't afford to throw money around like that. I only have 46 dollars left in my reserve, and Eric was going to help pay for the ticket as my birthday present... but too much -_- so yeah I won't be coming home my lovelies!
Don't be too sad for me though, I know Eric and my buddies here in Pittsburgh will throw me an okay birthday party. I just feel really bad because I wanted to go to the baby shower. You all know how close I feel to both Jesse and Renata and I've already decided this baby is going to be more to me than a little cousin; I'm going to consider her my niece and spoil her like one cuz both Jesse and Rennie have always been like siblings to me.
On a brighter note, Valentine's Day is coming up soon and guess what Rennie! Perhaps this year Jesse can bring you home a real blue rose! I just read an article that they are in the process of genetically engineering blue roses and have successfully pulled of the first true blue rose. They are planning on having the new rose available soon in stores, perhaps even in enough time for Valentine’s day! So those of you that love the color blue, let your loved ones know! I personally would settle for a diamond ring or an orange rose :-P but you all already know that heheh… Here’s the article for anyone interested at reading, and the first blue rose caught on film for you rose lovers to drool over! http://anyion.blogspot.com/2007/03/blue-roses-its-finally-been-done.html

I don't know what the hell happened but somehow when I opened the web site for my favorite Role Play Forum today I was greeted with an Error message informing me that my IP address has been banned.
I was so much in shock I almost fell over... Me banned?
I thought that maybe it was an error so I restarted my computer and went back on the site.. still no change.. so I signed on to Yahoo to talk to my "vampire clan" and see if others had the same error I was like whats going on did the site get Hijacked was there a glitch? When I got on I found out that not only did I get banned, but the person my charecter role plays often with was banned. She got Banned for pg13 violations on several of her alternate characters.. and for some reason they thought my charecter was one of her alts so I got all my characters and IP address banned as well.. -_- But I don't even live in the same state as her! and I haven't so much as gotten a "parking ticket" let alone done anything to get me banned. So yeah... I'm a bit depressed right now... I know it sounds stupid but this was the one thing that got me through my days and something I looked forward to when I had a rough time in Claire's.. I feel like there is nothing for me out here in Pittsburgh... and now my only escape has been taken away.. so I find myself filling out applications and staring blankly at the white walls in the room around me waiting... btw... my birthday is in 9 days -_- salt in an open wound cus I just started a birthday thread.
on a side note and a little happier.... I'm going to try to come home on the 12th for Renata's baby shower.. her and Jesse are going to have a little girl on the way soon and I can't wait to give out much spoilage! |

|---|
This weekend has been one of the hardest weekends I have had for a while. So much has happend and once again I am revaluating my life and the worth of humanity.
On Wensday I was preparing for my first day of work for Thursday. I made a trip to Fed-X Kinkos so that I could get a copy machien copy of my SS and Drivers License. Then I headed to Stacy and Joshes so that I could thumb through some articles of clothing Stacy pulled aside for me to wear my first day as an assistant manager at Clairs. I at 7:30 I headed home cus eric had work soon and needed the care back around 8ish. When I got to my door... Posted for all the world to thumb through and view was a lawsuite notice for my boyfriend, his mother and myself. Because I haven't been able to find a steady job Eric has been paying bills solo lately and he had gotten slighting behind on everything. Earlyer that week we lost the internet and cable because we could no longer aford it and it is only through the effords of a few good people that we have supper on our table as of late. Well although 3 days prior to the lawsuite Eric paid the apartment building 1,100 dollars they are threatening to take us to court and remove us of our home. At the time we had found out that news Eric had a half an hour before he had to go to work.. and I was hysterical I finally got this great job that would double our house's income only to loss my home. I couldn't sleep. I ended up visiting with Stacy and Josh for a while while we watched Dinosaurs.. ya know "not the mama" at their house. The next day Eric went down to the apartment people to talk to them about what happend to his check that he paid them, I dropped him off on the way to my job to spend 6 hard hourse playing the game of "nothing is going wrong in my life." When i got home eric was laying on the couch and I prompted him. He said that they "lost" the checks ( he had given them two checks for 500 each) and if we did a cashiers check before the court date for the full amount including fileing and lawyer fees which is a whopping 1,378 dollars altogether, than they would drop the charges but never told us weither of not we would still get to keep our home or not. This seemed to lull eric into a sense of security a little but I'm still slighting flipping out about it being that we have no word on weither or not we are going to have a home come August. Eric thinks he may be able to
make up the difference before court date due to the bonus he will be hopefully recieving next week. Well friday night eric left for work.. I spent another restless night he gets home and hes white as a sheet. His Grandma, Lois Ada Wallin, has just had a serious stroke.. and its bad.. really bad but we didn't think at the time so bad that it might kill her cus as far as we knew she was conscience just didn't reconise anyone. So I headed to work and played the game again.... nothings bothering me ... everything is happy great and dandy. But nothing was happy, great nore dandy, when I got home Erics mom had called while he had taken a nap. He called her back. His grandma had fallen Un-consciece and with further examination found out that she had blood on the brain and it was un-operatable. We rushed to Ohio, she had been put in the ICU on Life Support and it was just a matter of waiting for family before they removed her of Life Support. I held her hand. I Loved this woman too, she was one of the first to welcome me into the Wallin family as a future Wallin. We raced against time and got frustrated constantly because of bad directions we got lost oftian as we struggled to get there before she left this earth. When we did get there we where informed that Eric's Dad, Uncle, sister and brother where still 6 hours away in michigan where they had been back-packing deep in the woods for 4 days when they recieved the news by park ranger. Eric's Uncle Harry was already in Ohio, but he was catching up on his sleep from the quick "flight" he took from his house. (everyone pretty much just stopped what they where doing and drove home eric and I included which would explain me still wearing the same work pants I have on now. Thank god that I hadn't emptied erics car out yet from last visit or we wouldn't even have a small amount of clothes to change into.) She looked so different, broken. In life she was a very spirited woman who spoke her mind, she had been a naturalist and the first time I met her I had angered her to the point she was ready to smake me with her cane cus first I "invaded" her kitchen while she was cooking, and then I told her my favorite flowers where roses and she informed me they are a horrible invasive species.. a weed in her mind devistating our forests and causing quite a few of our forest plants to become close to extinction. I couldn't help but grin cus she had sounded like my uncle george and one of his "talks" at the time. but after we got to know eachother I found his grandma my greatest allie and seeing her now, I didn't even reconise the noble woman laying on the bed it didn't even look like her. The next 6 hours where heart breaking, Erics little sister calling us constantly to make sure her grandma was waiting for her. The hardest part was when they got here. Listening to heather I was reminded of myself when my little sister died. she was trying to convince herself and grandma that everything would be fine and shed get up and walk away from this when we all knew that this was not the case. At 12am they pulled Life Support with us all in the room, my head turned into erics shoulder cus I couldn't watch. And amazingly she fought death for almost 2 hours before it claimed her, during the time when it finally did it was my turn to hold her hand I had been holding it and she started gagging and threw up her body jerked while Eric took me away from her cus I kinda wimpered and my eyes where wide and tears where running down my face but I guess I was in shock. After she jerked like that we watched her videls go down and I couldn't help but to compare this to a sidistic version of new years where we where counting down the seconds to Lois's life her family held hands around her we where all encouraging her that she could let go and we would be alright heather cried and told her something that will probly stick in my mind for quite a while, "now you can fly with the birds you loved so much." then at 1:41 am Lois took her last breath and she was gone.
We went to her house yesterday to make arangments for her cremation and memorial survice and to view her will and decide how to split the estate her "boyfriend" kept comparing this to his "wifes death" and he was angring a lot of people slightly with how he pushed desitions in his favor instead of letting the family deside together as a family Heather Eric's little sister was probly hurt and angered the most at the aspect of loosing the house (due to memories, the fact she grew up there a little, and also from a naturalist point of view her grandma had a lot of rare trees, some of them about to go extinct, that once covered the state of Ohio.) She was also angred cus her grandma had been an acomplished clarenet player and she also was becoming semi acomplished due to the encouragement from Lois. Max was telling heather that she couldn't play a solo in tribute to her grandma during the memorial survise and heather got really angry, its her grandma and he is just the boyfriend. Eric and I kinda fought on the side lines and talked to the brothers and we got heather her solo despite how Max tried to detour that.
Dinner at grandmas was surprisingly not to hard, we talked like a family would as if she where there some how it almost felt like she was present at the time. The house felt sad though when we left, I remember staring at it and thinking... it may be the last time I see it.
Today Eric and I are going to take Inky for a walk in my favorite national park here in ohio. Then we are heading home.. both of us can't help but dread the thought of going home right now.. we both fear finding something new posted on our apartment door it makes us nervous.
