Helpping The Old...er People

Friday I started working for my Gammy's one friend Alice who is staying at Summit Point nursing home.

We went over right after school and the job was to do her laundry while she was away at rehab (we still don't know when she'll be back, hopefully by Thanksgiving).

I started working at 4 with my Grammy. We had THREE washers AND 3 DRYERS going at the same time non-stop.

Which means we got done pretty fast right?

WRONG.

We didn't get done until 8:30 and there was still more clothes to wash.

In the end, while the clothes were being washed I did her dishes, vacuumed, made the bed, dusted, reorganized medicine cabinets/draws/counters and ironed a bit too. Sunday the two of us came back to finish the ironing and take the dishes out of the dishwasher.

Even with how late I stayed, I still got home in time to race to Ryan's and watch The Ugly Truth with Rayy, Jackie, and him. =)

Actually, I got to his house before him (they were all out getting candy =p).

Saturday Dad, JJ and went and saw the movie The Blind Side which was very good, go see it all of you!

Did I also mention Dad and I played Left 4 Dead at 2AM? =p

Sunday Mom made her famous spaghetti (that's way better than yours) and Jackie came over! =D

Been playing Happy Aquarium too on Facebook. It's addicting. Friend me and be my neighbor! =)

The Goods, Hair Cuts, and Puzzling Grammy's!

Friday Ryan drove Jackie and me over to my house and we chilled there for about 2 hours wondering what to do for food. In the end we went to Reddis Pizza and ordered hot wings, cheesy bread and a large pizza.

And lemme tell ya, those hot wings? HOT.

Met up with Andeth at Network video where we spent probably at least another hour looking for a movie to watch (I think that's how long it takes us on average... =x) and Andeth and I finally decided we were gonna get The Goods. Live Hard. Sell Hard. Which, was hilarious. =p

Saturday Mom took me to get my hair re-highlighted and styled. It turned out great! =D

Then we went to Mom's Diner next door and I got a bacon and cheese hamburger. I love diners. =)

Hung around my house for a bit when Jackie texted me asking if I wanted to do anything. I told her I would pick her up and we could go get another movie or something. We ended up picking out Dead Silence and heading over to my Grammy's house to show her my hair.

As soon as we got there she was asking Jackie what she wanted to eat and in the end she made her some of her special soup and some chili! I noticed the puzzle she was working on and brought it to the table where we all started working on it.

By the time we looked up at the clock we realized it was going to be too late to start the movie. So, we decided to sleep over! =D

Went and picked up Jackie's things and mine and headed back to her house. We started working on the puzzle again and around 2:00 we started the movie (and yes, that's 2AM). Jackie and I huddled together in the chair under the blanket. =p

After the movie was done Grammy went to bed and we watched Dane Cook until about 4:30 when we went to bed.

I woke up around 11:30 and decided I wanted to make pancakes!

I made some Micky Mouse shaped ones too! =D

Worked some more on the puzzle and then Jackie and I fell asleep on the couch in her green room. My Aunt Lib came over next and then Grammy, Jackie and I got the piano started and we sang songs while it played the music rolls. =)

Did some homework at my house, ate dinner and then dessert! Jj made us laugh hysterically being a goof ball and then I took Jackie home.

Today I got many compliments on my hair and jeans. =D

Tonight, I'll be working on things for my Marco. Polo. Die. script. I'm excited I've started working on it again.

Tramps Like Us, Baby We Were Born To Run

The concert.

Was.

Awesome.

But it was hectic getting there.

First, the limo was a half hour late, but when it finally got to our house, Mom and I were really excited!

But man, the thing looked like it was gonna fall apart any second.

The driver, Nate, got out and opened the door where my Mom's friend Gary L., his new girlfriend Jennifer (for those of you that remember, that was the blonde in the garage that one night), my Uncle Scott, his girlfriend Gina, and Gary R. with his girlfriend.

And guess what her name was...

Karen! xD

Why do I find this so humorous?

The Vonage commercial!





When I saw her I went "Hay Karen" and my Mom nearly lost it. =p



Once we were all set and ready to go, Mom and I learned Nate was a replacement for the original driver, whose daughter got sick with H1N1. He also had never been to Cleveland before.

Well shit. =p

My Uncle had to give him directions to Lock Keepers which was were we were all going to eat dinner. Then when we did get there nobody could get the doors opened in the back of the limo and Nate couldn't either, AND he also locked himself out! xD

Dinner was nice, but way too fancy for me. =/

I tried some sea bass and I thought it tasted good. =)

Got back in the limo where Bruce was playing on the radio and we rocked out while cruising on the highway. Where Nate got lost again.

It was a good thing my Uncle Scott knows Cleveland, cuz we would have never made it to the Q I'm sure. =/

Karen and Gary. R had their own seats on the ground floor and left while the rest of us got in the elevator and went one floor up to our seats. If you face the stage, we sat to the left. They were some pretty good seats, you could see the whole stage and all that. =D

And before the lights went out Gina went and got me some Mike's Hard Lemonade. =x

The show started around 8 and everyone got stood up and danced and cheered! Bruce was famazing! He crowd surfed too! The man is 60! o.o

My Mom and I went crazy when he played 10th Avenue Freeze Out, Born to Run, and our most favorite, Jungleland.

I almost cried during the sax solo, it looked like the happiest she had been in a long time. I'm so glad she wasn't sick last night.

Bruce started collecting people's signs with song requests on them and played those too! He played my other favorite, Pink Cadillac!

Went down during the encores since he was playing some of his new music for that. I got a hoodie (which I will be wearing tomorrow), Mom got a t-shirt, and we both got JJ a poster and Dad a flag to hang in his workroom in the basement.


They started playing Rosalita and where we were, we were right behind the stage on the main floor but every time we went to go into see him security would kick us out. Soooo Mom and I found another way and we snuck in right past the cop and went right in the middle of the crowd.

Found the limo and got lost going on the way back, naturally.

Made it home around 12 and woke up the next morning to discover that while trying to turn around in our driveway after dropping us off he hit one of the little pine trees lining the driveway.

Did I mention he left like, half of his bumper laying in the dirt?

Oops. =p

Hung out today and then the cable guy came over (sadly his name was not Larry) and now I am able to pause and rewind live TV and record!

That's me, the almighty Ashley!

School tomorrow, semi excited!

ily.

Warm

I wish the weather would stay like this forever, it's so perfect.

The different colored leaves, the sun. Heaven. =)

Yesterday I got the whole family to go see The Men Who Stare At Goats. Despite the fact the movie was terrible, it was nice having us all together. We don't do things like that often anymore. Mom is either sick and Dad's being an ass, or both.

This year I'm hopping to get all of us to do more together things.

Today was somewhat stressful when I woke up.

First, I woke up late. Then I didn't know what to wear. Then Rayy needed a ride. Then Mom needed the car. And THEN it turns out my Dad also took the car in the morning and wasn't back yet.

But in the end, he returned just on time, and Mom and I picked up Jackie (where I got what I wanted to wear), and Rayy and met up with Andy at Marc's and got boxes for Mom because we're getting our living room painted and re-carpeted and needed a place to put all our crap in.

We went to Sagamore Hills Park and took pictures there for a few hours. Climbed the one tree and did goofy things. =p

Went to Apple Bee's and ate dinner together. It was lots of fun!

I thank Andeth again for not getting angry with the dozen of plan changes and for driving us around.

Got home and did homework. Now I'm here.

I don't know what's with me, I just don't feel like putting too many details in my blog post anymore. =x

Anticlimactic

Nothing really interesting happened in school today.

=/

Or at home either.

Grammy came over to watch Mom and wait for the docs to call so she could go with her when she got her ultrasound but gee, they didn't even call.

Assholes.

I swear almost every doctor pisses me off royally.

I Promised Myself--UPDATE

Mom is coming home from the hospital even though they wanted her to stay. She has to go back to the hospital to get an ultra sound on her heart tomorrow.

Now I'm just waiting for her to come home.

I Promised Myself

A little bit ago, not to use my blog to voice my 'issues' anymore and to try and only write about the happier things in my day.

But of course promises are meant to be broken, at least a little bit. I guess my excuse is this post is really for a update and so I don't have to keep typing the same thing via IM over and over and over again.

However there is going to be some humor seeing as it's dealing with my Mother. =p

So I get home from the bus to find my Mother sitting on the couch completely out of breath and grabbing her chest. When I asked her what was wrong she said that her heart was beating very fast and that she could hardly breath.

I told her that she was either gonna call the ER or I was gonna take her there myself and ya know what she said?

"Okay that's a good idea I'll go. BUT WAIT JUDGE JUDY IS ALMOST OVER!!"

That's, what I like to say 'So Saundra'. =p

I took her to the ER and they stuck the leads onto her. Her heart rate was around 101-90 which was high for her but it wasn't too bad. It began to drop and got back down to what her pacemaker was set to which was around 74-80 (her pacemaker is set for 74).

They took blood to do some tests and also took an x-ray of her chest.

After being there for about an hour or so Mom started talking to the old lady next to us named Stella. She told us the story of why she was here and about her rescue dogs. She was really nice. =)

Dad came and was really worried naturally and annoyed that we didn't call him, but we told him it was because we weren't sure if it was serious and that he also had stuff with his mother to deal with too.

I went home to feed the dog and cat and took JJ to Wendy's. After that I did the rest of the laundry and then watched 101 Dalmatians with JJ. Dad came home with the news that "Mom is being taken to the closest South Point hospital because they want to check if she has a blood clot in her lung because the machine they have at the ER here could cause her pacemaker to stop."

Apparently there was a high level of something in her blood that suggested she could have one. Dad wasn't very good on the specifics, although I don't expect him to really be.

A lot of people have been calling the house, and I've been trying to give them all the info I could. I've called my Dad and left a message so I'll blog some more when I get the info about her at the other hospital.

Cross your fingers guys.

Halloween Party!

Saturday night I went to Miss. JackiePeaches Halloween Party!

Got there early with Ed and Tom and we helped set up.

Ed dressed as a bunny and Tom as a warrior dude.

Andy went all out. He wrote 'book' on his face and went as...you guessed it, Facebook.

=p

Mike made a T-shirt that said LIVE so he was a 'live mic'.

Jacike was Pinky from Pacman and I was Ms. Packman.

Cynthia was Matilda, and Jackie's cousin Carly was a Devil and her boyfriend wore black clothes and a kick ass Jack Skellington hat.


That was pretty much the group for awhile until we went trick or treating.

After that Jackie wanted to play a game with toilet paper. I hugged her because I wanted to be on her team and suddenly we were attacked and wrapped together in the 2 roles of toilet paper instead. =p

We also played a game where we had to suck on suckers and pass a life saver from sucker stick to sucker stick. =p

Then the rest of the gang came over!

Tom, Max, and Jon (Carly's bf) had a competition to see who could stick the most big marshmallows in their mouth.

In the end, Max got 12, Jon 15, and Tom 16. I got 11! =p

Rest of the time we pretty much just talked and goofed around.

My Dad came dressed in a Scream mask and holding an ax and walked in screaming. He was kinda disappointed no one was really scared but I was glad he came anyways. =p

Watched SNL and then went right to sleep. Got up early and helped Grandpa clean leaves in his yard and went to see Grandma in the hospital. Even though she's going into rehab tomorrow, if you were to put her sleeping next to a corpse, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. She's so thin and her arms are all black and blue from the IV's.

=/

10 more day's until The Boss! I'm worried/excited!

Tomorrow is Monday, sometimes I wish we had 3 day weekend. =p
