here's me and my niece Kelly (at her 8th grade graduation this past thursday night.) she's an awesome, smart and perfectly wise-arsed gal. quite proud of her!
let's see, what else is up? not much.... still have gigglecuz michael living here (right now he's out at his son's little league game ---- my uncle val, michael's father, came up from florida this week to visit, so he's got him for the day... **insert giant freedom-loving smile**)
i've been heading to the rehab a bunch of times this week to visit MY giggledad and his new hip. he's doing really well and is supposed to get out of there this coming thursday (at first they were talking about sending him home a couple of days ago... which is ridiculous since he's still a bit unsteady on his feet.)
i'm supposed to head to church tomorrow, then to see dad (for Father's Day) and my gigglestepmom is taking me to Pete & Elda's tomorrow for a birthday lunch.
gigglemom and i are MAYBE doing something tomorrow night - i told her i didn't want her to get me anything... (i wouldn't mind if she gave me the same thing she gave me for Christmas. that was the note and promise that she would quit smoking. that's all i want. i really don't want or need anything --- [except cash. that is needed. that's one of the main reasons why i don't want GM to buy me anything] --- so, maybe we'll go grab a burger or something tomorrow night... OR maybe i'll get some makings for a kickass dinner and make it tomorrow.... believe it or not, i like cooking. it's been calming me a lot lately. plus, if they don't like what i make, they can go hungry. thus far, every morsel that i've whipped up has been devoured.)
it's been really rainy and blarghy here for weeks on end... barring the odd day hither and tither where the sun rears it's yellow noggin.
GM has been in a wheelchair for 3 weeks. something is screwy with her lower back. I took her to the ortho doc on tues. they took films. then went back on thursday and they gave her 3 shots of cortisone into her TAILBONE. ow. she's still in some pain.... i've been reading up on the cortisone and it said that it "should" kick in within 48 - 72 hours.
in the meantime, i need to wheel her to the bathroom and out back to smoke (at this juncture, i'm just doing it. i am too exhausted to fight or deal with her being in pain AND having nicotine fits)
what else???
OH!!! my gigglecousin Kerry is moving home THIS week!!! she's been living in the florida Keys for the past 5 years. I've missed her terribly... so, I am VERY excited and happy to see her and hang out with her again.
yay!! so, she's driving home on monday and should be here by late tuesday night.
that's about it for now... hope y'all are doing swellegantly!

Ah happy bday gurl. When I turned 39 I cracked me open a case-full of 2 liter bottles of Mr. Pibb and had myself a bath up in there. Them bubbles was doing right by me.
