I'm very sad that I can't make it to Grandma's memorial service at Arlington today.
I will be there in thoughts with my family.
Sorry, I'm not dealing with this too well. I'm depressed that I can't be there in person with my entire extended family, and I'm fucking angry as hell at my mother for letting my dad convince her it wasn't important to be there for her mother's funeral...
just like she was never there for my high school graduation, my first wedding, the birth of my children, my high school plays, or anything that meant something to me.
Well, that took a while.
I just finished returning 283 rates. All caught up for now.
And pondering putting up a portfolio. What say you, peanut gallery, yay or nay?
My aunt J sent a package to us, and we received it yesterday. Among the items inside was a tisane she'd created for her youngest years ago. I did not realize, until this morning, that it contained catnip.
The cat has been attempting to get at it all night, and I wondered what the hell she was doing. Then I read the ingredients.
Time to put it out of kitty and kiddo reach.
LOL!
Today is my husband's birthday. We're not really planning much of anything, per his request. I understand why he requested birthdays be toned down quite a lot from here on out. Sometimes I hate to be reminded of how old I'm getting too.
So my present to him is uninterrupted time to play Bulletstorm, his newest Xbox game. It's something he's been asking for lately, and I have no problem giving it to him. ;)
In other news, we're getting the furry baby spayed on Sunday, and all of her shots as well. We're contemplating a microchip, but haven't settled on it yet or not. She's almost 2 years old, so it's a bit overdue. Ooops. *sheepish look*
I'm looking into community colleges, as I've always wanted to pursue my education. Thinking online classes, as my life is fairly busy already at the moment, and I'd be able to do those mostly on my time (example, writing papers and such.) Not sure what degree I want to pursue though, so I'm undeclared/General Studies at the moment.
I need something marketable after graduation though. Perhaps radiology or getting an RN? So many choices, and I can't make up my mind, because A) they either scare me with the fancy sounding names or B) they interest me so I want to get all of them!
Decisions, decisions...
In regards to my last entry, I've been told I look more like a Na'vi than a Smurf.
I'm not really sure what the difference is. They're both blue. LOL.
Anyone care to enlighten me?
SMURF!!!
I've been playing around a bit with Photobucket's image editing and also Photoshop.

I feel like I'm the only one who reads this thing.

It needs a bit more.... Cleavage. ;P
Nah. I read it.
Thoth- Thanks!
Bones- I'll see about adding more cleavage. :p
I read it, I usually don't comment all that much most times I read journals. :)
I'm looking into temporary work through agencies at this time. We've been out of work almost a year at this point, and this is getting ridiculous.
I have an appointment with one of the temp agencies tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck!
I've also submitted the FAFSA because I'd love to continue my schooling as well. We'll see. I'm thinking mostly online classes because that means I can work around taking care of kiddo and any jobs I may line up. Here's to hoping!
Ever since the members of my extended family started finding me and speaking again, I've been inundated with emails and phone calls.
It's a nice feeling to be loved and have that love shown to you without question.
I feel very blessed to be able to have this second chance of connection with my aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, second cousins, and cousins by marriage.
Yes, it's a very large family. And made larger still by the fact that my husband's family is also fairly large. My daughter is going to love it.
I'd love to visit each and every one of them again, if/when money permits. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will in the near future. :(
I'm also slightly worried about my aunt and uncle in Japan, I haven't heard anything from them in a bit. I must ask the rest of the family if they have. I hope they're ok, and that the natural disasters bypassed their area.
Eleven days from today...
It's our first wedding anniversary. ;)
One Year.

No offense but that doesn't sound like a very loving family. If they don't think that stuff like that is important at all then I don't know what to tell you. There's a reason I don't talk to any of my family anymore.
