California trip
Me going to spend four days with family was pretty much a disaster... Except for Heidi (my sorta half-sister) it pretty much sucked. I mean, I got to see Heide who I haven't seen since the accident and we watched a movie together and made peach jam (which I REALLY liked...really sweet though, kind of like candy more than jam lol...) and she was okay with playing chauffeur so I could visit the people I wanted to see.
...
Let's see...Saturday I got stuck in Chico at the Olive Garden (seriously folks? I could've been to Utah for that one!) with a bunch of bratty kids that were part of Matt's family...Because apparently his brother cares more about his new wife, her kid, and their new twins, than his THREE other children froma previous marriage...So Matt's parents are taking care of them and MY parents (why? someone please explain!) are helping them out... Now I understand this weekend (sorta): Matt's mom was in the hospital because they don't what's wrong with her...(she almst died two weeks ago and is still sick). But that seriously would have been a perfect night for Shakey's!! Everyone likes pizza...especially little kids! But no, we go to Olive Garden and while I don't mind it,,,I didn't have to be CA to eat there. And we got back I almost ended up sleeping on the couch because there were too many people....
...
Grandpa was supposed to be in a hotel so I could sleep in my old room (dark as it was...though i didn't sense ANYTHING creepy that weekend which is really weird, considering all the crap that's happened before.) but no, he was in there. Cari and Matt have been bunking in Bear's old room but they did just buy a house so they're moving out...Heidi was on an air mattress in the living room but moved it to Bear's old room when Matt and Cari said they were sleeping at friends'.
....
Monday was a perfect example of the suckiness of my weekend...In the morning we were supposed to go see Matt and Cari's new little house (and I do mean LITTLE) in Chico and then we were going to breakfast... 10-15 minutes right? WRONG. We were there for an hour. We finally went for breakfast at this place called Nash's which was decent and afterwards Bear's all "let's go to the park".... But it wasn't until I pitched a fit that ANYONE asked me what I wanted to do. That was when Heidi played driver and we saw Carmen, Mr. Wolcott, Grandma and Uncle Jay, and Kathy...THAT was finally cool.
...
Oh yeah, and me and Mom had a pretty big fight about R and the Sprite. Bitch...
...
The wedding for Katie (Candlish - now - Braga) was actually pretty for being at Loafer Creek.,,, Although a little too country even for me...But as long as you ignored the cowboy hats, the fact that the lake had no water, and the constant mention of God...wasn't too bad. They fed us and that was pretty decent.
....
I didn't get to see Lapin AT ALL... So sad...Seeing him was one of the things I was looking forward to most...That and eating at my favorite restaurants... (We did eat at Charlie's before heading to the airport though, thank the gods!) Shit just kept coming up.... He was gaming in Sac and then Nny got sick and then on Tuesday when I tried to see if I could catch him before work...He reminded me that he had classes in Chico on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Why does our timing ALWAYS suck so bad?
....
So someone please, lock me in my room the next time I mention any desire to go home at my parents' behest.... Dumb dumb idea and I knew it too.
