Wow it’s been a month since I last posted! Crazy, but I am alive, just really busy. Plus with Despair closed for the moment I haven’t had to keep up with comments so much so it’s been strange. I went on an extended vaca, which was awesome! I went on a road trip with my hubby. He had to make a bunch of deliveries across the country, so we’ve been doing that for the past two weeks. We also went to see another WWE show. My dear hubby just can’t get enough wrestling. I don’t really mind going, I’m all for seeing hot guys in very little clothing haha! We had 6th row tickets this time so we were so close I could see the sweat! Ew that was gross, but true! I also got to go see Dancing with the Stars taping in May. That was truly awesome! All the glitz and pageantry was fabulous! I do have some pics from our little mini journey, not as many as I should have stupid memory card errors. I’ll probably add them to a post sometime in the near future. Anyways I have so much crap that I need to get done before I can slip back into normal life again. So yeah I’m off to do that! Big Love

So I haven’t posted in like 3 weeks! I’ve been busy with everything and nothing all at the same time. This past weekend I went to SIUC (Southern Illinois University Carbondale) for my little sister’s graduation. She graduated magna cum laude with a bachelors of science degree in chemistry, the little smarty. Anyway that’s not the point of this post, this should have been just a normal trip but it quickly became a nightmare of sorts. We were supposed to leave here around noon on Friday because the trip takes like four hours. But my aunt had a hair appointment so we didn’t actually leave until like 2:30pm. That actually turned out to be a good thing because the university got hit with a huge storm and horrible derecho winds right before we left. If we would have left on time we would have driven right into it. Anyways my sister calls me in the middle of our ride down there and says there are trees down all over and that the whole town has no power. Also the graduations that were planned during that time got cancelled and the university just gave the students there certificate holder thingys and sent them on there way. So crazy it was like a complete disaster when we got there. I will post some pics of some of the damage in here also.

Lucky our hotel was a few towns north of Carbondale and when we got there it was one of the nearest towns around that actually had power. So basically we didn’t get to do anything we planned for the whole 3 days because nothing had power. It was so crazy. On Saturday they ran generators and quickly moved everything to the football field so that the rest of the graduations could actually take place. My sis had her ceremony at 8:30am Saturday morning so it was the first one after the storm and they had terrible issues with the generators and the microphones going in and out. Plus it was raining most of the time so we were sitting in the bleachers all bundled up with umbrellas. But we got to see her graduate which was the most important thing. Then everything in the town we were in was so packed because it was one of the only places with power. The gas stations had lines around the blocks and you couldn’t even get into a restaurant for like hours, it was just chaos. No one was hurt so it could have been way worse but it was just really random and nuts. So yeah basically we just sat around most of the time looking for something to do. My sister just text me and said they still don’t have power and it will probably be Wednesday or Thursday before it comes back on. Crazy, she’s thinking about coming and staying with my parents this week because she can’t really do anything. She’s a research assistant on campus so it’s not like she can work anyway. Today she said she’s going to Metropolis to gamble at the casino because her and her room mates just want to go somewhere tonight with lights. Anyway just thought I’d share my trip from hell with everyone. I still have some unpacking and laundry to do plus I need to catch up with returning comments and reading emails at some point so I’ll stop here for now. As always big love

I just finished watching this movie for the second time and all I can say is gah! I don’t want to give it away because it’s one of those movies you have to experience for yourself. I actually watched it again so I could get all the subtly I missed not knowing the story the first time around. I just thought I’d post it because everyone I have discussed it with was left feeling the same way I did, which is basically like wtf? omg! I can’t believe it! This movie takes you on a journey that you don’t quite understand, then makes you fall in love with the falling in love, and at the end it sort of smacks you in the face. I think it’s a great movie you all should see. Well if you like this sort of thing because I’m sure it’s not for everybody! Anyway just a quickie I gotta run, hopefully I’ll post an actually blog soon. Big Love
