back again

ok, so i went home this weekend, mostly to see my grandma but also because we celebrated my dad's birthday (i got him a soo lock 150th anniversary sweatshirt----trust me he couldn't have been happier!). sat morning me and jenny (my sis) went to see grandma in this sufficiently awkward you might die soon type of way, and i thought that i was going to cry and be a big emotional mess, but i didn't want to upset grandma and she is so calm and keeps everything to herself (she has always been like that) so i didn't get worked up until later. she gave me this ring that she told me a few years ago that i was going to get when the time was appropraite (i guess this must be the time) and i didnt want to take it because she loves that ring and she might want to wear it after her surgery (nov 2...pray if you do, hope if you dont) but i took it because she wanted me to have it. i personally think it is hideous, but when i got home and told me mom that she had given it to me my mom started to cry because my mom told me that the ring that my grandmother had given me was the first thing that she ever bought herself (kinda the first vanity thing she ever had (my moms family was poor))and that she loved that ring. so now i dont know what to do with it cause i was thinking of having it made into something else...i dont know.

i am desperately trying to work on my senior thesis but it just sint working out. speaking of wroking out...i really should get back to doing that (i havent since last thursday).
