All in all...a bad day.

So, yesterday I went to orientation at Target. I was super excited to finally have a job. When I got there I waited for about 10 minutes and then the HR lady came out and told me I was the only one who could show up, and would I mind coming back on wednesday. Well, I understand their situation. I wouldn't want to spend all day putting one person through orientation, then two days later doing the rest of the bunch. So I said alright and left disappointed. I headed over to Brook's house to help her wrangle the babies. Everything was going alright until my mom called to tell me that my great-grandmother had passed away that morning. My mom was really upset and I was trying not to get upset. I got off the phone and then Demian called and I started to cry. Eventually, I went over to my mom's house and she was better. My great-grandmother, Ruth, was very old and had been very sick for a long time. She lived to be 99 years old. As bad as it sounds, we have all been waiting for her to die for a while, as sick as she's been. A couple days ago she stopped eating or drinking anything, so we knew it was coming. Even so, it was still upsetting. The good news, however, is that she is being flown to Chicago to be burried next to her husband who died 40 years ago. Anyhow, it was sad. The one memory I have of her was from when I was about 5. My sister and I would put fake grapes in her shoes and then ask her to go for a walk. She would go stick her foot in her shoe and say something like, "Oh my! There's grapes in my shoes!" We would laugh, then put the grapes back in her shoe and start the process over again. She always played along. Also, she had a beautiful rose garden in her backyard, and whenever I smell roses it reminds me of her.

On a completely different note: I think if I ever have a baby girl I want to name her Megan.
