Friday!

Friday evening and I'm just home chilling with my mom, she made some pretty kick ass salsa that we gorged on. Yum! Earlier this afternoon we had to go to a funeral for my Great Aunt Lorene. I didn't know her that well, one time when I was little we went and stayed in St. George with her, I think it was when we went to Vegas with my Aunt Lori and my cousins. But hearing all of these stories about my Great Aunt kind of made me wish I had known her, she sounds like such a kind generous woman. It also made me think of my own Grandmother, I love the woman with all of my heart, and she is so amazing and I know that she had a hard life and that she too has been very kind and generous, but it seems as she gets older she gets a more selfish attitude, she doesn't ever leave the house, not even to water her own flowers, and while I completely understand that she needs help it seems to be more than that. Her sister Lorene was 92 and until 2 years ago lived on her own and was extremely independent, I just worry that my grandma won't live as long or have as full a life as she could have if she just put some effort into it.
      So back to it being Friday, I love Friday evenings now that I have the weekend off, my mom and I have just been hanging out every weekend, tonight her me and red-box. I'm still recovering from having a metal rod placed in my jaw lol so I'm not up for too much hopefully I'll have some time this weekend to post something longer and not so whiney!

Life

So I started this blog over a year ago, and it took me almost six months then to post something. I'm going to try an be more frequent about this. Life has been so crazy the last 5 months and I need an outlet. In my first blog I told you about me and about some of my family, well since then people have come into my life and more people have left. Let me give you a rundown of those who are a staple in my every day life.

I mentioned my Mom, I finally outgrew my bratty teenage ways about 2 years ago and have found a very near and dear friend in my Mother, we are more alike than I ever would have imagined, I was living with her up till about a year ago.

I now live in my Grandma's basement apartment with my cousin Kelsey, I am 9 months older than her and was a year ahead of her in school, in high-school I'm sorry to say that we kind of grew apart. It's not that we didn't like each other or had some big fight, just that we were both so busy with our lives that we didn't have time to dedicate to each other, but we moved in together last year and have grown SO close, she is also a very dear friend to me, that I forgot I had. We are, I'm happy to say, "best friends."

Then there's my other "best friend" Courtney, we met as sophomores in high school where we were assigned the same locker (unfortunately for her) She claims that I was the most friendly looking person at the school, which confuses me to no end because that's the last look I was going for, decked out in all black and pretty heavy handed on the black eyeliner, anyway after a few hangouts it seemed like we were just drawn to each other. Along with Courtney I also acquired a whole new family in addition to the already large one I had, I refer to her mom and dad as "Mom and Dad" her sisters Lauren and Jessica are also my sisters (sad as it is they are more my sisters than my actual sister) Court and I met when we were 15 and have been best friends ever since. Not to say that I didn't almost ruin it a time or two....

I used to have a third best friend, his name was Cory, unfortunately about 5 months ago I saw a new side of him that caused irreparable damage.

So those are pretty much the people in my life, I may mention some randoms from time to time, but I explain those as I go. I really am going to try and log on and write at least once a week, I have SO much to catch up on but I am going to do it! I have a fairly drama filled life and no matter what I do it seems to follow me around, so it should make for some interesting reading =)
