Happy Burday JJ!

Today was my little brother's burday!

He turned 13!

Yesterday we got him a cell phone (the same as mine, Voyager) and he went nuts and kept texting and calling me. =p

Yesterday was also the Father Daughter golf tournament at Little Met golf course.

While traveling down 480 (I think it was that...) Dad and I were talking about how last time we went there was a huge car crash that made everyone over an hour late. Then all of a sudden he started breaking. Guess what happened again?!

Only this time it involved 6 cars and not 8.

When we finally got there I saw Mya from the golf team! We didn't play with her though because she already had a 4-some.

I played with this girl named Hallie and her Dad who works at Charter 1 bank.

Hallie was 14 and had been golfing for only 2-3 years, but she was pretty good. =)

Dad and I struggled on the first couple holes, two double-bogeys (not good at all) but got a lot of pars and birdies after that.

We ended up with a 40 and made 3rd place and won a picture frame.

After that Dad dropped me off at the Twist and Shake. It's really fun to hang out there with Jackie, Ryan, Anthony and Sandy. =)

Ryan taught me how to play chess and then him and Anthony played against each other. Anthony won. =p

Went to Olive Garden for JJ's burday.

I got to drive my Grammy's car there and back. Except I didn't know my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while leaving our booth, so on the way back I was driving illegally.

Which really isn't anything new but we still had to go back and get it.

When we turned back into our street after retrieving it we came to find my neighbors horses had gotten out of the barn and were in the field at the corner of our street.

I called the cops and told them, I hope the horsies are okay...

After that Mommy and I went to watch the Breaksville fireworks show, which was pretty much awesome. =)

My last In-Cars is tomorrow! Yippee!!

I'm gonna miss Mr. Yockal though. Or Boss, as I call him. =p

Hollywood Watch Out

Michael Jackson
Farrah Fawcett

You're on the big mans hit list.

I'm really sad about Billy though...who's going to yell at me during infomercials?!

Happy Burday Andeth!!

The postie title is just for yooou!


-------------------------------------

So yesterday I went and got a new celly (the Voyager! I love the touch screen!) and one for my brother and then my Mommy dropped me off at Jackie's house so I can help her clean.

We washed windows, dusted, mopped, cleaned bathrooms etc.

Then we ate Mr. Chicken, made a picture on paint and played The Sims.

Then we headed back to my house and my Dad took JJ and us to West Branch to my Uncle Gary's boat!

We went inner-tubing! Jackie and I were successful of not flying off of the tube during my Dad's efforts to fling us off. =)

Then I tried to learn how to water ski for the first time.

I stopped after 3 failures of not being able to get up out of the water and ended up with my right foot and knee being bruised and sore because my left ski kept falling off. =/

After we got home we watched One Missed Call and House Bunny along with the special features on each disk and feel asleep around 1 or 2 in the morning.

Woke up around 11:30 then went up and made pancakes and sausage!

Went downstairs and watched Disturbia while making Andy burday cards then watched the storm before heading off.

When we got there the pizza guy pulled up behind us which was good because I was so hungry I was getting shaky (whoops). =p

We all spent an hour trying to pick out a movie and coming up with creative ways to choose one. =p

In the end we picked Transformers.

When we left Jackie started getting a little sick so we helped her to bed and now I'm up just in case she calls and needs something. =)

What's Up?

Lately I've been staying up really late due to nightmares.

When I get really hot at night I have them. =/

And then there's waking up after them, sweating like a pig and then having to go downstairs to grab a few ice packs to cuddle with to keep cool.

So by Father's Day I was over tired.

Played golf with Grandpa though, which was nice.

Dinner was...alright.

My Dad has his family over and I soon ditched them because I couldn't take all the comments they were making behind my Mother's back and how my Dad was joining in on them.

*sigh*

Actually got a goodnight sleep last night though and things started looking way up!

I played the best round of golf in my life so far, which really got me pumping. Then after that I got to go to Jackie's house and we painted nails and swam a bit!

Rayy came over for a while too and we played air hockey on this mini table we had. =p

Mommy and I then watched House Bunny which was pretty good.

Now I'm up in my room chilling with Nortone. =p

ily.

Friday, June 19, 2009

You Will Never Believe...

What I took....





From somebodies garbage.....




















His name is Nortone!!!

The 'e' is silent for 2 reasons:

A. Because I don't want it to be like the Norton from the Norton Antivirus thing

and

B. To make it even more fancy dancy

=p

I call him Nort for short (no rhyme intended)!

While going to deliver my application I saw him in someones trash and nearly sped off the road to get him.

My Mom was shaking her head. =p

He was filled with pet hair and pop stains but with a brush and some scrubbing he's good as new!!

And Hammy likes to sleep in his lap. =p

Ah, I love trash day.

This Is A Creative Post Title.

So yestarday I had golf from 12-5 and all we did was hit balls for all that time straight. My had was killing me.

><

But in the end it was fun, I learn something at least that will really help my game. =D

After dinner Mom said that we were going to go to the gas station, drop off the rented movie, then pick up her prescription.

So I drive to Speedway and we go to get gas and the pump isn't working, so we go to the next one and then it says we have to see the cashier and I told him that pump 3 wasn't working and that the next one told me to see him.

He then told me that the credit card had no money on it.

Which is bullshit because it's a credit card and the credit limit on it is sky high. So then he comes out with us and looks at it and then asks if the tank was all the way filled. My Mom had told him that went she asked Dad to get gas while he was out walking the dog he yelled at her that there was no place to get gas.

Apparently there was and he filled up the tank.

*headdesk*

I mean it's funny, but I just can't laugh at it because my Dad had been yelling at my Mother about how much of a dumb ass she was and how he couldn't.

-_-

Drove and dropped off the rented movie then picked up two new ones: The Uninvited and The Bucket List.

The Uninvited was good, I loved the twist at the end. =)

It wasn't really all that scary though, I mean, it did show dead peeps, but I've watched too many scary movies so it's easy to accurately predict when they will pop out.

JJ wanted me to sleep in his room, so I took the second bed by the window.

Everything was all fine and dandy until I started to have this weird ass dream. At first it was all la-de-da fine and dandy and then I don't remember how but everyone that I knew (friends, family, teachers, employees) were all suddenly on fire and screaming and withering in pain and begging for me to help them.

I woke up sweating and really hot and shaking and I had to go downstairs and sit outside for a bit and read a book.

=x

It was scary. =(

Many people gave me huggles via interwebs though so that helped me feel better. =)

Today Grammy, Mom and I went and shopped for this old lady. When we took her food up to her room at the assistant living home on Valley View I wrote her a note for her to find when she came back, hoping that she would have a great day. =p

Grammy asked if I would ever like to do something like that and I said it seemed like it would be fun so I picked up an application for the Elm Croft Assisted Living right down the road from me. =)

Old people FTW.

Reminder:

Golf
Gas

Those are the topics I shall blog tomorrow once I'm awake.

What's Been Happenin'

So my cousins grad party was interesting.

You see, my Aunt Jerry has Alzheimer and she kept asking my Mom if she was excited about the new little one that will be growing at the family reunion. Now my cousin Todd's wife just had another son and he'd be a month old when they bring him the the reunion, so we though she meant him.

Well then she started talking to me and saying "You're so small after all this time it's amazing!"

And then she suddenly spurts out "I mean, you're pregnant, right?"

I told her that I wasn't and I was only 15 and she went "Oh, I'm sorry dear!"

You don't know how hard it was for me not to burst out laughing right then and there.

And then Dad had me take the turnpike home and I didn't pull close enough to get the ticket. =p

Mom, JJ, and I watched Drilbit Taylor after that, it was good. =D

In cars at 9Am today, I had only about 3 hours of sleep before hand.

Hellz to the yeah.

Kept on getting a little far left in my lane on the highway since I normally drive with just my right hand while on it.

Practiced maneuverability and I beasted at it as well.

Three's on everything again. Secretly driving illegally on the road at 13 has it's benefits I guess.

The kid who was next had to drive me to my Grammy's and her was really nervous, you could tell he hadn't been out driving a lot.

We got the back bed all planted and mulched and it's really pretty!!

Took a small nap and then got ready for Jessica's grad party.

Cyrus picked me up and we went to a Natalie Petal's house first which was fun.

They had good cookies!

When we arrived at Jessica's house Karaoke was underway. I sang along with peeps. We then shot off fireworks (and for those of you that don't live in Ohio fireworks are illegal to shoot off although you can buy a shit load of them and no on will care) in the backyard and then Caramel, Mike, Gerber and I went to Caramel's house to grab some extra controllers to play Halo.

The cops were on their way to Jessica's house so we called Bill (her brother) and told them to hide the rest.

Sucked at Halo but had hell of a lot of fun playing it.

Cyrus' grad party is tomorrow. I already know what I'm going to write in his card I just need to make it.

My hand is killing me now, I will go to bed!

Larry

My Uncle had to put Larry down today. =/






There is Larry and then my Uncle holding him. He's 17 though, so it's not like it's all that tragic.

Other than that today was the most boring day I've ever had in awhile.

I'm mentally exhausted from trying to think of something to do and laying around.

JJ and Mom brought home McDonalds and then him and I went and watched Wal-E.

It was an okay movie, cute, but I'd never see it again. Up was better. =p

After that I got the outline for Chapter 4 done of my book and then played Bejeweled 2 until Mom decided we should go visit Grammy.

We watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy then went back home.

Did you know they changed the Final Jeopardy waiting song?!

It's the same tune, but different instruments.

Fail.

I hope the rain stops so everyone can have a good graduation party.

I'm going to 3 in a row starting tomorrow. My cousins (which I don't want to go to), Jessica B.'s, and Cy's (which I do want to go to).

I also have a lesson with Ross tomorrow at 3 as well.

Hope you guys found something to do on this rainy and muggy day. =/

ily.

I Sang This

(Or should I say yesterday morning since it's 1 now)

I woke up to something I've been waiting for a long time.

Summer.

Which of course meant I had to sing School's Out For Summer while munching on Fruit Loops.

I'm planning on making a summer themed playlist and linking you on the side bar. I'll tell you when it's up, but I'm not going to put it on my blog.

Today JJ, Mom and I went to my Uncles house to see Larry, his little Pomeranian. It's pretty much the beginning of the end for Larry. While we were there he started having another seizure. I expect by tomorrow he'll be put to sleep. =/

He's 17 though, so he lived a good doggie life. =D

Next JJ and I went to The Range and I tried to help him with his golf. I hit only half a medium bucket of balls because I couldn't concentrate on trying to help him and help myself.

Drove back home and dropped him off them Mom and I went to Petites and I took pictures of flowers and her and Nicole (an employee helping her there) picked out the ones on the list my Mommy had.











Those are all the ones I liked out of the bunch I took. Some of them I'm still eeh about, but I'd like to hear what you think.

JJ said I should post a picture up of my computer background every time I change it, so here's what it was before:



And here's what it is now:



I like making my own computer backgrounds, I think that's the only reason why I take pictures of things. =p

After the flowers Devlyn invited me to Pulse up at Roseland Lanes. Jess and Bryan ended up coming as well. We bowled a quick game before going in the next room to dance.

Richie Miller showed up and started to try and mess around with Bryan so I pushed him away hard and was going to punch him in the face if it weren't for Dev stepping in between us.

=/

In the end the mood picked up again once he stayed away.

Dev's Mom got us all a free drink since she works there! =D

Got dropped off and chatted with my Mommy before coming upstairs.

Now I think I'll work on the outline for the book I'm writing.

=)

I'm On Fire!

Literally.

So I'm up and trying to be all calm before golf and I decide to grill myself a burger.

So I go outside and turn on the gas and start to turn on each of the burners. I get to the last one and it's not turning on. So I keep clicking it on and off and still no dice.

Before I was annoyed enough to stop and get my mother to figure out what the hell was wrong it started up- and all the gas that was rising up from me trying to turn it on so many damn times thus, making a huge fireball hurtling towards my face.

Which caught my hair on fire.

I went running into the house yelling "Fuuuuuuuck!" and sped into my mothers bathroom to look at myself. My mom then came in and asked "How's the burger going?"

-_-

Then here eyes went really wide because I was covered in bits of burnt hair.

Lucky for me it's long enough to put up in a pony tail, so only what was hanging down got burnt.

And I don't have to pluck my brows anymore either.

My eyelashes are shorter though...

I also had to take another shower.

Burning hair does not smell good at all let me tell you.

Cyrus then came over because he wanted to give me some Gatoraid for golf today and I made him open the grill so I could cook my burger.

=p

I was really shaken by the incident though, which didn't really help with the whole 'Calm down and don't get nervous about losing your pride at golf today' plan.

Cyrus left and then I ate my burger and got dressed.

Chipped out in the backyard a bit before begging mom to take me to the course about 45 minutes early so I could hit balls just to give myself more confidence.

Got there and in the end didn't hit balls and went straight to the league teacher. Apparently, JJ's league teed off at 2, mine had teed of at 12.

Dad fucks up the times and leagues yet again.

JJ's league was lower than mine, so I didn't need to be nervous about sucking anymore. If I did you couldn't tell.

I just couldn't seem to hit my 3 wood- or any other woods in my bag. So I stuck to my 6 iron and pitching wedge for most of the course.

My score was average/ick. 53. =/

Which actually sort of pumps me up because if I'm shooting a 53 after being out only twice on a course (today counting as the 2nd time) my score should be kick ass once I'm out more.

After playing I met up with Jack who ran the advance league last year I believe. He was all "OMG YOU SHOULD BE IN ADVANCE WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"

I'm hoping there is at lest one other girl in the league besides me. It gets a little tiersome playing with guys all the time, plus I'm betting the guys are all older/bigger than me which plays down on my nerves a tad. Which in turn fucks up my game and we go back to the whole pride thing.

Spanish and English exam tomorrow then heading over to The Range to turn in my application and talk to Andrew (guy that works there).

I lost my wallet today too which is bad because it has my license in it.

><

I swear it's somewhere here in the house, but now I'm getting worried I might have dropped it somewhere. =x

Also:



This little guy was in front of our garage.

His name is it Tyler Toad because I'm all badass and creative like that.

Some Of You...

Might find the beginning of this post either:

A. Fucking hilarious
B. Fucking disturbing
or
C. Fucking hilariously disturbing

So my Dad is driving us (Jj, himself and me) to a funeral for this lady Jj knew that died. I'm sitting in the passengers seat and we're driving down this 4 lane road.

Well, this nice looking yellow Honda is driving past with all the windows down. The driver is a male, and he keeps leaning his head back and almost gasping/moaning.

I know what you're thinking: "Ummm...okay..."

It gets better.

As they come up a little closer while passing us I see this bleach blonde head of hair down under the wheel.

Yep, this guy is getting road head.

But wait, wait- it gets even better.

After he passed and was ahead of us I saw something in the road that the lucky male didn't notice in his drive of ecstasy...















a pot hole.








And he hit it.




xxxxD


Best. Day. Ever.


Dad took me to the range today and we corrected my swing even more. Golf league starts tomorrow, we're playing for handy cap.

I wonder if the AHSP will be there...

And to recap your memories AHSP was the Asshole Sexist Pig that refused to play golf with me because I was a girl and because I pissed him off even more by hitting in the guys t-box and not the girls.

And then kicking his ass and beating all 31 guys in the champs.

And yes I'm gloating now.

Anyways, while at the range I picked up an application there. I'm mosly likely going to be hired.

=D

To end this post I'm going to take you back to the beginning with your choices of A, B, or C.






I saw this while eating pizza yesterday.



And is it me or does that mime have a really big penis? =x

I'm being bad today.

Pro-Pot Courage

I now have complete respect for this kid.

He's got balls man.

=p


Valley Voyages was fun today. =)

Woke up around 8, got dressed, made some soup for breakfast. =p

Mom sat out in the garage with me while I waited for Cyrus to come. She looked really tired from last night, she was really, really sick but didn't want to go to the ER. She's too afraid to go because last time they nicked her nerve with an IV and that's why her arm is how it is.

*sigh*

Dad and I got in someone of a religious fight last night while we were watching TV.

We were talking about Mom and how sick she was and he said "Maybe God will let her live another day."

And I told him that if there was a god she wouldn't be sick, or he would have killed her and put her out of her misery long ago.

He currently isn't talking to me with the exception of golf league information.

But I don't really have any complaints, he'll be over it by Friday.

Rained pretty much all day today, but that didn't stop the little 4th graders.

My station was to bring a group to the bridge over the Cuyahoga River and then we'd measure the water temperature.

Sadly it was not by throwing a kid in, which would have been how I'd done it. Instead, the kids lowered a bucket over the bridge and got the water then brought it back up. Then when everyone had their info in their booklets and I told them things and asked them questions they all fought to dump it back in.

Cyrus and Jeff went and harassed a kid wearing a shirt that said "Got a sister?" on it.

Cyrus: Excuse me sir, but what doesn't this shirt mean?
Jeff: Yeah, are you curious if people have siblings?
Kid: *shakes head*
Random 4th grade girls: it's for a date!
Cyrus: You mean with a girl?! You don't want cooties!
Kid: I'm not afraid of them! ....What are they?...
Cyrus: They're little parasites that suck out your money!

xD

Then Jeff said that premarital sex or whatever could get you AIDS and the kids one friend in my group was all like "Ha ha, Johnny has cooties and AIDs!"

Some people just never grow up. =p

Cyrus dropped me off at the house.

I cleaned my room and laid down on the couch with the TV on to try and fall asleep since I've been up for two days straight.

Just can't seem to sleep though and I'm too tired to really think so it's a lose lose situation.

Took a longer shower than I really needed to and then watched some more CSI.

Depending on the weather I'm going to try and get a full nights sleep tonight.

Have I Ever Told You How Much

My mother and I love thunderstorms? Last nights was a good one! Very cool lightning. =)

We stayed up and watched the storm roll and then went and laid on her bed to watch the 1st half of the tonight show with it's new host.

He wasn't funny at all. I want Jay Leno back. >=/

Mm fell asleep after that and I stayed up and sat around with the cat and the dog on the bedroom floor reading all night just in case she needed anything.

Dad was out of town, and she was sick and she wouldn't be able to have toe strength or energy to yell up to us or go upstairs if she needed us, so I stayed close and awake.

Around 5:50 I went upstairs and took a quick shower then got dressed and went on the bus.

Had fun in study hall as normal.

Spanish exams I made a few careless errors due to my lack of sleep.

History was a ruckus I must say.

Art I finished my exam, so no exams for me Friday!

However I'll still be coming in due to shopping after with Rayy and friends! =D

Got home and fell right to sleep from 2:45-5:32, ate dinner, watched the news, played a little catch with my Dad, then came in to do a little history homework.

Tomorrow I won't be in school. VV tomorrow down at the Canal.

I think it starts at 9. =/

See you guys Thursday though! =D

OMG I also have the funniest new neighbors ever.

So I can hear them MOWING THEIR LAWN across the street. It's currently 9:30 and dark out. Then all of a sudden the moving stops.

"Doood! Why did you stop?! You can't be done yet!"
"I hit the flag pole!"

xxxD

Epic ROLFCOPTER.

Ponderings

Been thinking about this ever since it hit me this morning.

So last Friday, when my Dad was picking me up at school to go to the docs, he told me that he had a little chat with my bus driver.

Not because he's concerned or anything, just a nice hello and small talk.

Today, Mrs. Sherry asked if my Dad had told me him and her had talked on Friday and I said yes. Then she went on saying "Man, it's so darn adorable how much he loves your Mom, he really cares about her."

Now wait, what?

The statement made me mentally trip on a rock into a brick wall and then fall in the street only to then get hit by a huge ass truck.

Why?

How the fuck she could think that and I have know clue what the hell my Dad did or say to make her.

Out of my 15+ years of living, I can't really say I've seen any 'true' love between my parents.

Now yes, they must have 'truly loved each other' to have my brother and I, a good point.

But they sure in hell don't love each other like that now.

After my Mom's medical problems started getting worse and she had to take more pain pills, my Dad started to say that she was a drug addict because of how many she has to take a day and told his parents that, thus making most of his side of the family think poorly of her.

Not only that, but he also makes statements about how "ugly she dresses", "fat she looks", "stupid she looks when she walks" "she looks like a billboard for make-up" and has claimed that he's "embarrassed to go places with her."

Such loving comments.

Now I must say, my Mom does dress a little odd, she has some wild outfits, but just because she tries not to look like she just rolled out of bed doesn't mean she dresses ugly.

My Mom is heavyset because some of the medication she takes makes her gain weight and she's too sick or busy to exercise.

My Mother walks "weird" because of the stroke, which after she had to learn how to walk, talk, read and write again.

The reason why my Mother wears so much make-up is to hide the fact she's sick and in pain all the time, and because of that, her skin is so white she looks dead or worse.

My Mother has told my Dad this, and so have I, yet he still treats her like shit and tells her that frequently.

Now some people might say "But Ashley, what about when your Mom gets so sick every how many months? He must really care about her to take her to the ER at 3AM!"

Yeah, and then come home and smoke a few cigars as he worries about whether or not she'll come back dead this time and then have all the responsibility be put on him, as well as his oh so precious retirement fun dented.

And does he even think about checking on his children who are inside hugging each other while sitting on the floor looking out the dining room windows at the driveway and hoping the doctor calls and not the morgue?

Nope.

The question is also begged, why haven't they gotten a divorce then?

Because they don't want to have to keep taking JJ and myself to each others houses, and my Mother doesn't want my Dad to try and walk off with the dog, who seems to matter more to him than his kids at some points, and me, who doesn't complain when it comes to doing yard work.

There have been some good times with my Dad, I can tell him things I can't tell mom, like how since I was 13 I would steal the car in the summer when she was sick and sleeping and him at work and drive around the block or pick up a movie or food for JJ and myself.

And he has said how proud he is of me.

Which is great.

But that's it, just me.

No how proud I am of your brother, or mother.

Just me.

And thus he tends to make both or their lives a living hell because my mother is a "fat, stupid, and ugly, pain meds. addicting bitch" and my brother doesn't know where to draw the line with him even though he's 12 and should know by now that if you just let him think he's got you around his finger all you have to do is wait once you move out so you can speak your mind to him then.

And that, pisses me off.

And what confuses me the most is that Mrs. Sherry is able to see a lot of good in people. But how could she see that? And if what she says it true, why the fuck hasn't my Dad shown it?

*sigh*

So many unanswered questions.

Sorry if my pondering turned more into a rant. I just with I had answers.
