2 Nights down. 2 Nights to go. Then Utah?
So, I'm scheduled to work a 4 day week this week. 2 of which I'm over and done with. So I have to go to work tonight & tomorrow night and then the plan is for me to go with Dawn (and possibly Rorie) to Utah to get Dawn's car from my parents' house. Don't know exactly how we're going to be bringing it back, but I guess I'll let Dawn worry about the details. I'm guessing that if things go as planned that we will probably leave here sometime Thursday evening so that we can do our driving at night when there's less traffic (which is preferable to both Dawn and myself). I feel really bad that it's going to have to be such a quick trip, but if we really don't leave here till Thursday night, and the latest we can stay in Utah is really Saturday night, that's not a whole lot of time. (Yeah, I work Sunday night so that's why Saturday is the latest we could stay in town).
I was thinking that maybe on Friday Jess and I could make some pound salsa. ^_^ Tom and I made it yesterday and I just ate some left overs. Mmmm...if you haven't tried pound salsa before you're so missing out. It's NUMMY!
As bad as I feel though that I'll only have a couple days to see my family it's not so bad since Tom and I intend to take a week off of work after the whole Christmas rush at work ends so that we can BOTH go for a visit. I honestly think I'm more excited about that than just going this weekend. Well, I'll have Tom with me then (duh), and I half imagine that Dawn will complain about something or other during the trip, whether it be her allergies in Utah or whatever else.. Eh, it'll be okay. Dawn and I have been getting along pretty well. In fact...I think it's been quite some time since we've had a spat over anything. *ponders this* Maybe she's just forgotten that I intend to marry her little boy. (Heeheehee, Just joking.) Dawn has also been really good about being there for Grandma since Grandpa passed away. Yeah, FYI: Dawn and her mother haven't gotten along since practically the day Dawn was born. So, Tom and I are both pretty proud of her that she's still showing her mom a bit of humanity.
Anyway...how'd I get all Dawn topic'd?
So, like I said, I'm excited about going to Utah for a week visit soon. I'm not sure exactly when we'll ask off for, but I do know that it'll be AFTER January 15 (as that is the last day that is labeled as "NO TIME OFF PERMITTED DUE TO THE BUSY SEASON" sign at work. I guess I'll just have to survive until then. Thinking of you all and missing you.

Been a very long week. -sigh-
Well, to start off Tom's grandfather (who we lived with when we first move to California) died of (apparently that I know) a heart attack. He and Grandma were on a camping trip at the time. I guess he hadn't been feeling at all well the whole day and as they were getting ready for bed he collapsed. Tom and I found out about it on Saturday afternoon when Grandma and Uncle Darrin came to our trailer. So we then followed them to Grandma's house to tell Dawn and Rorie who were there doing laundry and such. Needless to say we didn't get a whole lot of sleep that day, and the week as a whole as somewhat dragged on from that point.
Thankfully though I'm now finished with my work week so I don't have to worry about waking up early tonight. Right now I'm just waiting for Cost-Co to open so Tom and I can go pick up a couple things (and get some nummy lunch while we're at it).
Grandpa's memorial service is supposed to be tomorrow at 3pm. So....I know we're both going to be tired as hell, but there's no way we'd miss going to that.
It was so sad...we were over at Grandma's the other day discussing some dinner plans. Well, her sister Jeniffer was over (just to be there with her) and we were all looking through photos cuz I guess there's going to be some kind of slideshow with Music that Grandpa always liked. Well Jeniffer was scanning through an album when she suddenly came across several pictures of Van and Tom when they were little. (Van is her son who was killed a short while ago while in Germay...he and Tom were about the same age.) Tom saw the pictures and gave her a hug and then she started to cry. :-( It was so sad. Too much death lately....that's what I think. Way too much death. :-(
Well, I guess that's all I have for now. I think Tom wants some help with a quest on WoW so I should probably go be on assistance. Ciao for now.

Ho Hum....
I think I'm really only writing something right now because I haven't in a little bit and I don't want to get back into the habit of getting out of the habit of writing. Hopefully that makes sense....and if it doesn't...who gives. The voices are telling me it sounds okay so that's all I care about. ^_^
Yeah, I was the one who finally gave up on that whole kissing bet a while after I finished my last entry. It felt good to have that be over. What gets me though is that after I lost Tom was content with giving me a peck on the lips to (I guess) celebrate his ability to kiss me again. Yeah, that was it. No serious makin' out for this girl. *sigh* I swear I love that boy to death, but sometimes I wish he acted more like he did when we were still fairly new dating.
Well, he's napping right now and I'm actually supposed to be getting him up about now so I guess I will call it an entry here. I'll try to write again soon if I have anything worth posting. Hope everyone has a great day.
