I'm skating with the derby girls tonight, it's supposed to be a "fun skating night". I haven't decided yet if I'm going to leave there wishing I was coming back, or saying "well I'm glad I quit". I'm still not even sure I want to go. Just being at the game the other night was slightly depressing.

So far my brother is doing well. He didn't break anything (thank goodness!). His right leg is VERY swollen, his left leg needed stitches. He's beat up and bruised, but he'll be ok. We're getting in touch with a lawyer right now because the driver of the pickup truck ran a stop sign and didn't yield to traffic. My brother had his helmet on, smart boy, and had his headlight on. He was also in the bike lane. Thanks for all the well wishes :)
I leave for vacation tomorrow night and I couldn't be more excited. This is the first time we've had such a large group (15 of us!!) and the first time kids have been allowed on what started out as the grownup trip. 4 of the 5 kids haven't ever been to Disneyland, so we're gonna have a great time. Thursday morning we have our character breakfast, and Friday afternoon we're doing the princess lunch at Ariel's Grotto for the girls. It's so much easier than chasing princesses around all day. I need to do laundry and clean house today, and also start packing. I have work this morning from open-3, and I work the long shift tomorrow (10-6), so I need to get this stuff taken care of! Maybe I'll make a packing list if it's dead today. Or while I get my hair fixed. We'll see.
I'll update from Disney, if I find the time :) Hope you all have a fantastic week and weekend!

Someone hit my brother with a car while he was riding his bike home from work. As far as I know so far he is ok. Stitches and an immobilizer on his leg. I'm waiting to hear from my dad to see how he's doing. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

I had a dream about my grandma this morning right before I woke up. I was sitting upstairs in my house with my brother and my sister jade, and all of a sudden she walked around the corner of my bedroom, smiled, and was gone again. My brother also saw it happen, but jade didn't. I ran down the hallway trying to figure out what happened but then jay woke me up asking for a brush. I tried to go back to sleep, but it morphed into some weird dream about my mom moving next door and having this shallow bay behind her filled with jellyfish that looked like the fish from Mario brothers. I miss her so much Posted via LiveJournal.app.

| So bored! |

With no Ginger to fight with all the time life is pretty boring. Not that I'm complaining in the least, because I LOVE my house. A lot. And I can't really miss her because she never goes away. She still calls every day and buys me groceries I don't need. Some things never change I guess. I'm also really bored because I have nothing interesting to do. High school was cheer and track and yearbook. Right after that was Rocky Horror. After I quit RHPS I went right into derby. Now that derby is over I'm realizing that I'm actually pretty boring. I need something fun and interesting to do. I'd join up with Black Cherry Burlesque if I had the money for the costumes, the time for rehearsals, or the self confidence to be that naked. I'd do more fire stuff with Flam Chen or Elemental Artistry, but I don't even know where to begin. And I don't really want to say I'll definitely join any kind of group because my work schedule is so sporadic I can't promise to be available and can't stand the thought of letting people down. So, I go to work and come home and watch Jay play SoCom and that's about it. Is this really what I've become? Blehh My baby sister got married in my backyard two weeks ago. It was pretty ok. Pics as soon as I charge my camera. It's so weird to me still that I'm not the only married one in the family anymore. Hope everyone out there in LJ land has a great weekend. I'll be at work and maybe on a married date tomorrow night :) Posted via LiveJournal.app.

So my friend Kate and her husband watched Twilight the other night for the first time and were both as equally (if not more) disgusted than I was with the whole Twilight fanaticism. Her LJ post about the movie turned into a comment fest about how much it sucked (both the written version and the screen version) and I mentioned that I like True Blood and Sookie Stackhouse novels. So, Kate linked me to this fantastically hilarious True Blood/Twilight crossover, and I think you all should read it as well.

I would love to see more of this. Even more so, I'd love for Pam to make Edward her bitch.

| My house has been warmed! |
[July 04, 2009 @ 9:39am] |
So in all the hustle and bustle of the past week, I completely forgot to post that we are officially in our new house! We moved in last Thursday, the 25th, and have been unpacking and buying and putting together and setting up and moving around ever since. I'm glad that it came so close to a holiday, because most people (even if they usually work on Saturdays) get the 4th of July off, so I could plan a housewarming party for the 3rd and have people actually show up. It was nice. My boss and my coworker came, my family came, a couple derby friends.... it was a good time. Burgers and brats and boca burgers on the grill (which is an awesome grill btw), and booze, and lots of dessert. The rain turned on and off all night, but never enough to ruin anything. At about 11pm or so all the electricity went out from the storm, but by that point it was just my Veronica, Buck, their kids, Ron, Ali and Jay and I. Tatum had gone to sleep already so she missed the whole thing. We sat around using my phone for internet, looking for houses to rent when we go to Disneyland later this year. Woot.
Anyway.... I'm in. All is well. I'm free from Ginger, which is the best feeling ever. I could be living in the crappiest little hovel on earth, but being away from her would make it worth my while. Thankfully, I'm not in a crappy hovel and I have a great house that I love. Pictures if I ever get around to taking them :)

Last night was my last game, and damn!! It was a nail biter to the end. We were behind the majority of the game, and tied the score with about 5 minutes left. In the last two jams we managed to come back and win! It was a lot more exciting in person, so you really had to be there. Final score, VICE 107 - Queens 94. I cried and took pictures and signed autographs and hugged my trophy and hugged my team... It was just amazing. I'm so lucky to have had such a great experience. And I retired on a high note!
Another thing that's all over? My favorite TV show, Pushing Daisies. Season two had three episodes left when they stopped airing it, and they FINALLY showed the last three episodes. Of course I didn't know about this all beforehand, so I'm currently watching them on the net, but so far so good. I just finished the second, and the series finale is next. I love this show, and I'm really disappointed that they cancelled it. The full season comes out on DVD in late July, so I'll probably buy it to go with my first season.
Oooooh True Blood starts again tonight! And I don't have to miss it because of scrimmage or practice or eligibility!! Good times indeed. Now, back to my season finale and then some more packing.

In 24 hours, Carrie Gunns will be no more. She'll always be a part of me, but at the same time I feel like a little piece of me is being ripped out :( Hopefully we go out with a bang and I come home with one more trophy for my new house. Wish me luck! I can guarantee win or lose there will be a lot of tears, most of them mine. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Jay and I took Tatum to see "Up" last night and holy cow. My friend Bradley posted a tweet the other day that said "Bambi's mom doesn't have shit on Up" and he was right. It was so good, and I cried like an idiot at least 4 times. Tatum kept looking over and asking why I was crying and hugging me. It was sweet. But yea... wow. I wish I could have seen that movie with my mom because then we could cry together :) I hope she sees it.
I'm on day 7 of 10 at work today. And I'm tired. I bought Tatum her very own Zune last night. She's so excited. She wanted to load it all last night but by the time we got the software installed she was half asleep, and then the Zune marketplace was all down for maintenence. So we'll do it this morning before I go to work.
Speaking of, I should get in the shower and start getting ready. Lame. My last derby game EVER is this weekend, and I can't decide how I feel about it. Happy, sad, like I'm losing a big piece of me.... my last scrimmage was Sunday and all I wanted to do afterward was sit in my car and cry :(

Tatum and Jason are forcing me to watch Twilight because apparently New Moon looks amazing. Five minutes into it I was already annoyed to death by Bella. And for a vampire as old as Edward is supposed to be, he sure is a shy insecure little bitch. Give me a vampire like Bill Compton or Eric Northman any day. Mmmm mmmm. I just finished the next to most recent Sookie Stackhouse novel. I wish I had the most recent, but it's only out in hardback and all the rest I have are paperback. Oh well I can wait. Season two of True Blood starts very soon, and I just bought season one on DVD. That's how I like my vampires. Not "sparkling". Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Last week was my birthday, and also the 10 year anniversary of my high school graduation. I know I'm not old, but it's weird to think that so much time went by so quickly and I just feel like I'm getting to be an adult. My house closes in thirty days, and we started getting serious about packing yesterday. So far we've got the couch, rugs, chair, tv stand, and pillows for the living room. Still need curtains and a sofa table. We found bar stools yesterday for the dining room/kitchen, and we know what end tables we are going to try to get. We have our new bedroom set and linens. We have tatums bed and linens. We need towels and accessories for all three bathrooms. We need to decide how to decorate the guest edroon. We have a table for the game room. We are so close to being there and not close enough. Work is good. I'm trying to decide if I am going to go back to school or not. I would like to, but I worry. What if I get bored and it's a waste of money? What if I suck at it? Or worst of all, what if I get the degree and never even use it? I just want to make something out of myself. John is home from Baghdad, finally. I'm so glad he's back and safe. I'm also really glad we are back in touch after all this time and just as close as we were before. I don't get to see him as often as I used to, but he lives in sierra vista and has a family and all so it's understandable. We all have to grow up some time, right? That was a long update. I really should post more often Posted via LiveJournal.app.

| Tanning in town? |
[May 03, 2009 @ 9:34pm] |

I am dancing at an event this weekend and just realized that I am wayyy too fishbelly white for my own good and would like to be just a little more tanned. Does anyone have any suggestions for either a booth tan or one of those mystic spray tan things that might help me get a little glow without looking too orange before Friday night? Any help would be super appreciated :)

What can I say, it's easier to tweet a 140 character message than it is to make a real post. But I'm still alive and well. I'm not a swine flu zombie, thank goodness. Ginger wants me to go to walgreens and buy paper masks, though, because even though I think it's silly I'm apparently going to want them soon. Ohhhkay. The house is going fantasticly. We have insulation in the walls, we have drywall on the top floor walls, and will probably have the bottom floor finished tomorrow. Next week will either be blowing the insulation into the ceiling, patching and finishing the interior walls, or starting the stucco. Who knows! It's fun to watch all the pieces come together. We have a closing date of june 25th, so I have eight weeks to pack and get the heck out :) Spotlight is a week from tomorrow, so if you wanna see me ballroom dance let me know and I'll get you the info.

I now have some walls on my piece of dirt and concrete! Eeeeep! I know this is the part that will go the fastest, once the drywall is up it will be slow going but it is so exciting to watch this all happen. I still can't believe that in a couple months it will be ours. Well, it's technically ours now, but you know what I mean. Here are some pics of what I'm looking at as we speak ( My house being framed ) Posted via LiveJournal.app.
