I haven't updated this thing in forever. Bri and I don't have a computer and when I come to my mom's I have so much other stuff to do. It seems like as soon as I walk in the door either my mom or dad havs a project for me. I've been busy lately trying to find ways to donate my time and money to the hurricane relief. I've kind of been obsessed with it. I used to watch in on tv so much Bri finally told me she thinks I need to take a break. I just feel like their's not enough I can do. So far all I've done is give money and other things. I'm going to donate my time at the fairgrounds though. Some of the victims will be housed there. I've been trying to prepare myself for this. They just have nothing, and I have so much. I also put in an application for one of the dogs they have brought over. I've wanted a dog for so long, and this came at the perfect time. The animals are just as homeless as the people. I'd like to help them both. I feel like I may have lost my best friend over all of this though. He had the nerve *keep in mind that we're in a bar and he has a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other* to say that he's tired of everyone making him feel guilty for not giving anything. He just "doesn't have it". No, you're just so selfish and so self-absorbed in your shitty life that you can't do without something that you don't need just so some people that have lost everything they've ever known can have ANYTHING. You wander why no one gives a shit about you. Karma's a bitch huh? I take this shit very seriously. Not only is it the humane thing to do, but I also help because I like to think if something like this happened to us maybe they would help us. You'll get no help though. Especially not from me!!
Ok, on to a more cheerful subject. Aleia found out she's having a baby!! My baby sister is pregnant! I can't believe it. Everyone is so happy. It was planned also. I can't even describe how happy I am! She's about 5 weeks. She hasn't gone to see an OBGYN yet. We're beginning to think that she's farther along than that though. It seemed like overnight her belly got bigger and so hard! Holy shit Aleia is knocked up! I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT! Aunt Zet. Yeah, I like the sound of that. Welp, gotta go. Tonight is Karaoke! Talk to ya'll soon
