Well, I'm back from my aunts house now and am glad to be home. I didn't really do a whole lot of "babysitting", since the entire week just seemed like I was sitting around being useless. There was really no point for me to be there, except maybe to visit the girls and be bored out of my skull. I mean, instead of going out and looking for a job like she was supposed to be doing, while I watched the kids, she sat at home like she always does. Okay, well, she went out a few times....to get cigarettes, in which case she did bring back a few applications but she didn't bring them back when I was there, who knows if she did yet. She filled out a couple online from Burger King and McDonald's but she didn't really need me there to watch her kids for that. She also went to a concert with some 19 year old, while his 16 year old girlfriend stayed home with the girls. Again, there was no need to have me there if she was just going to go out and get someone younger to babysit, instead of having me do it for free. After that, she went out to get coffee with another guy and I really wasn't really doing a whole lot there either, since the toddler was sleeping and the 6 year old was already outside playing with her friends, and she was outside until April got home anyway. The only time that I actually did any babysitting was when she went out to a gay/bi night club with some of her friends, which she probably could've spent looking for a job, but whatever. It was late at night, so the only kid I had to watch was the 6 year old and she pretty much sat on the couch and watched T.V. all night, until I put her to bed. April got home at about 3:00 a.m. and I was told all about her night. Leave it to her to go to a gay/bi night club and get hit on by a guy. Yeah, if I didn't mention it yet, my aunt has decided to turn over a new leaf and change her lifestyle to bi curious, which is a load of crap. Anyway, the next day I went home and only after I left is when she started go out and look for a job. So, again, the only thing she got out of me being there is free internet....because I had brought my computer over there with me. That's why I am happy to be back home. Well, that's all for now.

So, my aunt April just called this afternoon and asked me to come up to Grand Rapids for a week and watch the girls during the day, while she tries to go find a job, so I guess I'm going to be babysitting for awhile. And of course I'm a pack rat because I've packed everything that I can't live without, including my computer, the camera and my Smallville DVDs ...even my kittens. Lol. Well, she has a pool so I guess that beats a fishy lake any day. That also means I get to spend a little bit more time with my sister too. I hope I have fun and I will take plenty of pictures I'm sure. Well, here she is to pick me up so I have to go now.

L@T3R Days!

*UPDATE: It turns out that the dinner wasn't at my grandparents' house, so you see I didn't really get that much detail about it. All I got was "We're going to have dinner with grandpa and grandma." We ended up taking them to Fire Mountain, which is cool because I really like that place. And my sister ended up meeting us there, which is another plus. Well, I guess that's all for now.
And I did get home in time for my show that was on Sunday night, which is Army Wives. They just started season 2 and it has been a complete shocker so far because their daughter died in the premier and now one of the army wives' husbands is MIA. I just hope that they don't kill anymore people off of the show, and especially not my favorite, Trevor. I just might not watch it anymore if they do that. Lol. I don't know. Maybe I still will but who knows.

So, I guess I haven't really updated this blog in awhile. It's been a little over a year, partly because I kind of forgot about it, but mostly because I don't really lead that much of an interesting life. Well, at least in my own opinion, but as of today I am going to start writing about my life a little more. Not that any of this is ever going to be read by any outside readers; not a lot of people read it when I first started it, but I'm writing it more for me.

I recently got back from a trip to Vegas to see my brothers and my father about a week or so ago, and despite what you hear about the desert, it was quite chilly and rainy the majority of the time that we were there. It was still fun though, for the most part...and I say that literally because the last few days were kind of a hectic handful when it came to certain company. We stayed in a condo, which was awesome, while my grand parents stayed at the Excalibur hotel and casino. We did also have one of the nicer hotel and casinos, Venetian, at our disposal for a couple of days but we let grandpa and grandma use that too. So, me, my mom and my sister were pretty much always in the condo. There pool is awesome; they have a waterfall connected to it. My sister and I got some nice pictures in there, so that was fun. And we did get to see a lot of cool other stuff, including the Wax Museum, the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. We didn't end up going on the Price-is-Right but there's always next year.


As for me, I'm going to be taking some fall courses...probably going to over-load it since I can't wait to get this college thing over with already and start my career as a teacher. It seems like it's taking forever and even after so many years of college, it still doesn't feel like I've accomplished anything yet. I don't know, I guess I'm just looking forward to making my own money and standing on my own two feet for a change. It'll be a nice change of pace for me and I know it will make me feel so much better about myself in the long run if I actually do something on my own that constitutes as a job well done; other than graduating high school that is. After all, it is by what we ourselves have done, and not by what others have done for us, that we shall be remembered by.

More onto recent events though, I have this thing to go to at my grandparents' house later this evening. I guess we're going to have dinner and talk or something, but it's mainly for my mom to go and see her dad on father's day. Which makes me hate the fact that my father lives about 7 states away from me and I can't even spend time with him on father's day, or his birthday for that matter. I'm lucky to even get a chance to see him on holidays, along with my brothers. I thought about sending him a card, but then it wouldn't exactly get to him until after father's day anyway, so why bother right? I don't know. Maybe I'll just give him a call or something later today; that is if he'll even answer his phone. He has a tendency not to do that.

Anyway, on a brighter subject...I've been waiting I don't know how many years for this to happen and now it's getting closer and closer to actually happening, but next weekend I am finally going to go down to that tattoo parlor and get that tattoo that I've wanted for a few years now. I'm so excited about June 29th because that's when my mom said she would go and see about getting it done. Hopefully by the end of the month I will have the symbol that I want resting on my lower back. I'll post a picture of it to show anyone who cares what it looks like, although it is going to be a little bit lower than the one in the picture. Well, that's all for now...but I will be writing back shortly to update and let you know how that dinner turns out.
