Not in a spectacular mood today. Feeling rather icky about myself for some reason. I miss Rich. His class was canceled but instead he has to go to work. At least he will be home for lunch, and thank god for it being Friday and we'll have the weekend. Got paid, so that means grocery shopping. This class has been killer on our time together. He can't come home at lunch for the lack of time they give him and how it wastes gas to drive all the way here for only 20 mins. He hasn't been coming home in the morning after PT either in an effort to save gas. It sucks. I only see him after class, which is usually around 5:30. It seems like we just don't have the time together. We're trying to get Autumn her dinner, trying to make and eat ours, finish up stuff here and there, then we're both so tired and it gets so late. Blah.
Autumn is napping. She is cutting two teeth right now. I can see both of them, the tips have pushed through. They're so cute and little. I can't even believe she's already old enough to get teeth! It's going too fast. She's rolling over like crazy and has this thing about getting on her belly at night now when she's sleeping. Some nights it is fine, others she has a fit when she wakes up like that. I don't know why, because she knows how to roll over from it and does so all the time but she's apparently lazy at night and wants someone else to turn her over. She rolled all the way across the living room floor the other day. Before I know it she's going to be walking. She's been eating squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots. We're going to probably start her on the green veggies next week. Life goes by so quickly.
I miss my friends. I wish people could visit. I hate that part of living so far away. I know it costs money to get here, just like it costs me money to get there. I think transportation should be free damnit. Gas, plane tickets...yeah that'd work for the economy lol. But it would help me. I just want to be visited darnit all. Niki was supposed to visit in May but couldn't, and July or August but that obviously couldn't work out otherwise she'd be here now. I'm worried she won't make it back out until forever. Lisa may visit, but I don't know. Brandy was going to come out this month but had some hospital bills and now can't. She'll be here in January anyhow, but I'd like for it to be sooner. Rach and Em keep saying they're going to visit but lack of money and time off of work are scarce for them. Em said that they would visit before December, but I'm not holding my breath. I just want someone I'm close to to be here. I miss having friends I guess. Being back in Michigan was so nice and I got to hang out with my friends and visit and do stuff. Now I'm back here and I'm just so damn lonely.
I dunno. I gotta go shower while I still have a chance.
Peace-Love-Monkeys

About You:
1) What is the happiest age of your life? When I was 20 and the first part of the 21st year up to March 2005. I'm slightly bias though since I've only lived almost 22 years now. There could be better to come.
2) What disease are you most fearful of? cancer, definitely. It's terribly frightening to think that you could get this out of no where and possibly die from it often times at an early age.
3) What time do you usually fall asleep during the week? lately it's been midnight, but thank god last night I went to bed around 9. Autumn's bed time usually aligns close to mine if I can help it. Lately we've been so busy though so it hasn't worked out.
4) What will you be doing 10 years from today? Well Autumn will be turning 10 and a half and I'll probably have a couple other children running around. I imagine I'll be doing some mom like thing like getting ready to go to the park or the zoo. It's summer so they're going to all be home with me. I'm thinking it's going to be a fun day. Maybe I'll mark it on my calendar so that I can make it a fun day just because I said it would be in my lj.
5) What are your two favorite ice cream toppings? caramel and sprinkles
6) What language would you like to master? Spanish...I forgot most of what I learned in school, but I always enjoyed it.
7) What color looks best on you? pink and my mom would say green, but I'm not a huge fan of green. Though it does compliment my skin tone.
8) How much money would like to be making in ten years? Since my youngest will certainly be in school full time ten years from now (at least I hope so) I will probably be teacher's aide by then and the job doesn't pay spectacular but thankfully my hubby brings in the big bucks. I'm only doing that because it's a passion I have and it will cure the boredom of sitting at home while my kids are at school.
9) What one thing would you change about your high school career? What a loaded question for me...I can't pick just one. My attitude, I was such a bitch. My choice in guys. My choices in general. ugh how depressing.
10) How many bones have you broken in your life? well I fractured my wrist, but that's not a break. However when Niki came running into my room telling me Harry Potter was at my computer, I broke my big toe, I'm sure of it!
11) What age were you when you had your most embarrassing hair style? 15. I hated it, the first and only time in my life. I had it layered, not a good look for me.
12) What is your favorite era of American History? the 1920's. I wish I could have lived back then. Though I may have, but I wish I could remember it then lol.
13) What is your favorite flower? Daisy
14) What do you usually sleep in at night? depends on if I had sex before sleeping, if so then nothing, but otherwise probably my comfy pjs
15) What is your favorite cartoon movie? Cinderella or the care bear movies, the actual movies from the 80s not the cartoon ones they have out now.
16) What is the longest you have gone without taking a shower? probably only 2 days. i usually can't last longer than that, i feel scummy as it is on the 2nd day.
17) When is the angriest you have been? I can think of several times. When my dad cheated over and over again and kept coming in and out of our lives. When my grandma died. When Randy hurt me. When Amanda fucked me over. When Rich lied.
18) What one talent of yours do you wish people would recognize more? I don't really care who recognizes what of me. I think if I did that would make me selfish to desire more recognition for a mere "talent".
19) What one person have you wondered whether or not they liked you? liked me as a friend or more? As a friend, Stacey and Emily. Both seemed so fake and on and off so often. As more, that'd be Rich. I was sure he did but he was so scared to admit it, but he acted like he did then he'd back off. It was rather annoying now that you mention it lol.
20) How many times have you been to a place of worship in the last year? wow, none in the last year. Not even for a wedding.
21) How many pillows do you like to sleep with at night? 2-3
22) What do you need more of right now? time
23) Who is the one person you wish you never met? Randy and Amanda

25) What are you most neurotic about? cleanliness of my house
26) What was your favorite meal growing up? corn-beef burritos (though it isn't made of corned beef, it's regular beef but it has corn in it so that's what I called it) and spaghetti and tacos. I do remember my dad used to make a lot of meals for us, like on the weekends and stuff. It was always something to look forward to, wondering what it would be next. He made a lot of new stuff that he'd just picked up. I remember once he went into a peanut brittle phase and made it by the truck load and like sold it at work or something. Everyone loved it.
27) What is the first thing you do when you get out of bed? find my glasses, pee real quick and then go make Autumn's breakfast.
28) What is the biggest inconvenience about the place you are currently living in? since it is a duplex, which i don't mind, it's my neighbor who lives in it that I do. She's decided to become the humane shelter and harbor like 10 or more cats and it is horribly disgusting since they all shit in our yard now. It's the most nasty thing I've ever had to deal with especially since I am beyond anal about how my home looks and smells, walking out my front door and smelling shit is mortifying. I'm embarassed to even have people come over and I don't know what to do about this situation.

30) At what age did you have your first bf/gf? 11

38) What is the grossest thing you have ever done in public? this is mortifying so I can't believe I'm saying it, but when i was little my dad took me to the hardware store. I don't remember this whole experience, but apparently I had to go to the bathroom so I wandered off and pooped in one of the display toilets and came back to tell him hoping he'd be proud that I was a big girl and went in a toilet. Needless to say, he was not thrilled.

40) What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you? My gall bladder attacks and contractions during labor.
