Update! Me and my blog!

Hello, All!

It's been a while since I've sat down and had a chat. I've been trying to get my life back in order and into a sound routine since all my traveling excursions this summer.. Me and Jinx are staying in one spot for a least the next two weeks... lol It's been great having him back in the apartment! He is such a good kitty and brings such joy & happiness to my heart!

If you have visited before you will notice I did a little bit of redecorating and changed my look... I really enjoy cross-stitching and when I found this template it just screamed at me "Pick me! Pick me!" not to mention that I LOVE BUTTERFLIES!

Well, I think the most long overdue story to tell would be about my family... For some reason, its still hard for me to say "my family" instead of my mother's family..... "My grandfather" instead of "my mom's dad"... I am guessing the last I left I reported that many family members were coming to my parents house the saturday following my birthday... My grandfather and his wife, My aunt michelle and uncle, along with my aunt Janet.. My mother scrubbed the house - top to bottom... worked her ass off... I swear she didn't catch a wink of sleep since I got home that Thursday (my bday!).. I had to have a Bacardi Mojito before everyone came... I just knew that I needed something to take the edge off... After all, its been 5 years since I've seen the majority of them... Every one showed up... Big Hugs all around... My aunt michelle (who had the gastric bypass) use to give the biggest HUGS of them all... now with her transformation she is like hugging a damn toothpick.. LOL My grandfathers wife preceded to shake my hand... I said "forget that... come here" and gave her a hug? What the hell?!??! That Mojito must have went a LONG WAY! I am pretty sure I was already sweaty... LOL Anyways... it was a great time... Good Food.. Good Drinks... and even Good SMOKES! Gotta love the Italian in us! My Aunt Michelle is hooked on this Cognac dipped Al Capone cigars... My god if I didnt smoke 10 of them?! I sat and listened to my grandfather share stores of the old days in Philly... Actually talked to Lauri (g-pa wife) and tried to establish grounds to get to know her, etc...... It was really great to reunite with the family! Lots of laughs, tears... etc! What a great time... now, I will share the portion where sometimes things are just too good to be true...

The other side of the story
Prior to this shin-dig, the last time the family got together was on the 4th of July weekend. I was in Abilene visiting my good friends AP and Momma C!!! :) At this family shindig, my mom finds out that there was a get together on Memorial Day and realizes that she was invited... It seems that this whole thing was orchestrated by her sister Janet... Apparently, there was a lot of confusion going on and a total lack of communication... My grandfather thought he invited my mom and she was too busy working on the yard... yadda yadda yadda... ANYWAY.. as soon as Janet arrived at my parents, she pulls me aside and says "Your mom is mad at me... she thinks I had a party at my house over memorial day and I didn't..." I said to her "Well, you need to tell her that".... I know my mother... and I am not going to be in the middle of anything unless it is absolutely necessary! Long story short... Janet drinks ALOT and eats none.. Later in the day she pulls my mother aside, jerks her by the arm and says yadda... yadda... yadda.. I did not have a party at my house on labor day... Then she starts screaming! and tries to attack my mom!!!! Mom says... You are DRUNK, you wont listen to ANYTHING! I worked my ass off for today... I don't need this SHIT in my home! Janet takes off... (she has no ride because my other aunt came to pick her up)... She tells my mom as of this moment... I am done with you! We are through! and she takes off to sit in my driveway... My Uncle Mike ends up escorting her home...... To this day, they have not talked to each other.. My DAD is extremely pissed off about this whole thing... I forgot to mention the part, where he kicked her out of the house.. lol If you have ever met my dad, he is the most calm easy-going guy I know... He will do anything for anybody... He always looks for the brightside in things... he is the greatest man I know! For him, to tell her to "CUT THE SHIT" and that he would "TAKE HER ASS HOME" and that she is NEVER welcomed back! My god... you know... shit has hit the fan!!!! so, yeah... thats the story... LOL Everyone ended up staying after this... and good times did commence afterward and we are invited to go to my grandfathers house for Labor Day... LOL --- I am sure another story will be ready to tell after this one... LOL.

So, yeah... that is a pretty exhausting story for me to tell... no wonder it took sooo long for me to update my BLOG! LOL

On a new topic, life around here in Stephenville... hasn't really changed much! I have lost interest in the womens club... LOL I dont know man... I just dont fit in.. I am not married with kids and I make peanuts compared to those fancy pants.

I think my mind has gone to mush...

Time for lunch!

Until next time,
~T :)
