My internet has been out since Saturday morning. Damn cable modem died. Cable company is supposed to be here any minute. My appointment was between 8-10, and the guy called at 8:03.I missed it because I didn’t get to the phone in time. He said he would call in a half hour. It is 9:53 and haven’t heard from him. I am gonna be pissed if he blows me off. Calling the cable company doesn’t help either. They say they cannot get a hold of him in the field. I have things to do today. Scratch that, I just heard from him. I may be a little late for my 10:30 appointment. This sucks, but I need my internet.
So friday was my grandpa’s graveside service. It was neat and weird. I was happy to see the family together, even the estranged family we don’t see very often. (My dad’s step-sisters and their families) but that was also a bit overwhelming. It was neat that they came and paid respects, but I wasn’t in a very social mood. I wanted to be there for my Dad and Aunts that I knew, but couldn’t bring myself to put much effort towards others. I don’t know these people. and don’t want to pretend I do or care too much. I know it wasn’t about me, but that is how I felt. I was real happy that my godchildren and their family showed up. As it was put so eloquently, “the family I picked, not the one I was born into” was where I felt comfortable. After the graveside service, I went and visited my other grandfather, whom is buried i the same cemetery. After that I trekked home. I needed some down time.

I stopped by and said Hi to Misha and gave her an update on the necklace I am making her. I actually put it in the kiln today (sunday) after working on it some more friday and saturday. A few finishing touches and it will be ready for her. =-)

So the last few nights it has been all about comfort food. Ben and Jerry’s, Doritos, and Root Beer. I haven’t been able to get to sleep very well, but have been too tired to read. I am becoming like my dad and doing late night snacks/meals. I need to stop that if I want to keep my midriff down. I need to watch my girlish figure. =-P

I am so blessed and thanks to all those who are my support group. Whether it be a card, a note in email, a phone call, or a visit; it is very much appreciated. You people are the ones I chose to call friends and the “extended family I get to pick.”
