"At least I'm not this guy" or "End of year thoughts"


Well for the most part, 2007 sucked big hairy ass. I witnessed my aunt dying a painful death from cancer. I broke up with my douche-bag boyfriend. I am poor. On the bright side (because I always try to look on the bright side of life [whistles]) I was able to help my aunt live out the rest of her days with dignity and not in a home. She was able to pass away in her home. I also was fortunate to spend lots of time with her and she shared her dying experience with me. She also inspired me to go back to school to become a nurse. I got straight A's my first semester back even though she passed half way through the semester. I am poor, but I will be making lots of money as soon as I graduate. I dumped my douche-bag ex that is a good thing anyway I look at it. I also got to share in the wedding of Mr. & Mrs. Drummergirl and had a blast doing all of it even if there were no unicorns. I am also very happy and excited for Mockula and the impending arrival of little Peapod. Life does and is going on. I hope 2008 is a bit more low key and filled with more happy times. No matter how hard this last year was, at least I'm not this guy.... Happy New Years!

Happy & Sad


Well, the holiday's are done with. Thank goodness. X-Mas eve was tough for me. I think my aunts death finally caught up with me. I was sad all day. It's funny; we can barely fit all the family in my grandmas house, because there are like 50 of us, but this year, it seemed like there was more room and not everyone was there. Like we were missing more than one person. I miss her so much. My mom & I went to see her grave yesterday & brought her flowers. It's very surreal to me. I know she's gone, but I just can't believe it. I keep on expecting her to come home from some vacation or something that she's been on for a year now. I am more weepy now than I've been since she died. I think it's because I was so relieved when she went because she was in so much pain and I had school to finish so I put off the grieving. Now it's here full force and it sucks. I start to tear up outta no-where. I miss her so much.
On a brighter note, I got to spend X-Mas with Drummergirl and Mr. Drummergirl which was so much fun. I hadn't had that much fun on X-Mas in a while. I also looked up my grades today & I got straight A's for this semester! I thought I was going to get a B in History, but I aced it! I am S-M-R-T!

Happy Holidays!


First off, yes it is Wham! and no i didn't doctor the pic. It is real and super fresh. Today I am a free woman for 32 days. I took my last final last night! I can't wait to start reading again. I think I am pulling in 2 A's and a B. Not too bad for an old fart like me. I am stoked that I actually did it and with all the bad stuff that has been going on, I stuck with it!
