Bowling Tournament, Softball, Horton and a Pepsi!

The City Bowling Tournament is this weekend and I am raring to go! Team on Saturday and Doubles and Singles on Sunday. Our team is sponsored by none other than Slaughterhouse Tattoos! So yeah, I have 2 tats but because of the shirts we have to wear,  only one will be visible. In the spirit of fun, us Girls are going to get some fake tattoo’s and put them where they can be seen. Might even help me to decide what and where I want my next tattoo! ;)

James is in the tournament as well, and his team is sponsored by Slaughterhouse as well. His softball team is sponsored by them too. Now, softball is another story all together. I guess I am just overly annoyed by it, but if you have paid to play ball, it would seem logical to show up and play right? All mens team and here goes LaDon the other night having to play because of the 15+ players, only 8 decided to show up! Way to go Girl!!! Show them how it’s done!! Wish I had of been there to scream from the bleachers for ya!!! w00t!

And so it is Easter Weekend. Aside from bowling there really isn’t much else going on I guess. We had planned on doing a dinner thing, but now James bowls in the afternoon on Sunday so I guess we aren’t. We did go the other day to see Horton Hears A Who. What an awesome movie! Loved the entire thing. Brought back lots of memories too, now that I just turned 37.... Good Lawd I am old!

Well, I am going to go drink my Pepsi and head out with James. He needs to get tats touched up yet again... all about him and his tats don’t ya know! LOL

Who knew Family would be like this?

People piss me off! As most of you know, my Aunt who was like a mother to me passed away in November. I am still dealing with this loss daily, and slowly but surely, I am getting by. Surprisingly it does get easier with each passing day. But I never realized how truly money hungry people are!

Annie didn’t have a will or life insurance. Instead Annie had this superannuation thing that she paid into for years through her job, which also came with death benefits and such. My Mom is the beneficiary and she was the only one named. No sooner did relatives find this out, they started coming out of the woodwork, acting like they were best friends with Annie, with their hands out looking for something that might be coming to them! I know this happens all the time and it is nothing new, but seriously, I never thought in a million years that my family was like this at all!

So, my Mom paid for the cremation and the memorial service (with the help from one of her sisters and one of her nieces) but not so much from anyone else. After the service, give or take a week, her phone starts ringing. "What are you going to do with the money? Who is getting what from Anne? How much are you getting?" Not once did anyone stop to ask my Mom how she was doing!!! Mom and Annie were best friends. They are the two youngest out of 9, inseperable since their teens. And NOT ONE single effing person cared enough to ask my Mom how she was doing! All they cared about was the stupid effing money that was supposed to be coming!!!! As a matter of fact, my Aunt apparently owed one of her brothers money (she borrowed from him) and he called a lawyer, instead of talking to my Mom, and put a lien on my Aunts car in order to get his money back!!! I am so disgusted right now! Annie would be throwing a huge fit right now if she were here and knew what her so called family was doing!

As for my sister and I? We talk to my Mom every day and always ask her how she is doing. Like us, it is getting easier for her everyday as well. Oh and as for money..... my sister and I have both said we want nothing to do with it! Thank goodness we are nothing like that side of the family... except for like our Mom and Annie of course!

(rant 1 - I am sure there are more to come cause it has been a while)

Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda

It is getting closer! The day that we leave out of the Pain in the arse town! I can’t hardly wait! Of course I don’t want to leave because of the friends I have made, and will always cherish, but the time has come and it must be done!

I will miss the hot summers and very mild winters, I will miss BBQ-ing in December, but I know I can still do that out in the snow. I will miss being so close to three major cities for entertainment and such. I will miss the outlet malls and shopping anywhere but here. I will miss the post having 2 PX’s and Commissaries, because it is the largest post StateSide, all the others have only 1 each. I will miss Yank Sing Buffet, because right now it only appears to be a Texas thing!!!

I won’t miss the crazy storms that pop up out of nowhere, spinning off tornado warnings and hail the size of tennis balls! I won’t miss the restaurants around here, because they all suck (maybe that’s because we have been here too long)!! I won’t miss the flooding downpours, or the windstorms, I won’t miss the fact that there is nothing to do here AT ALL! I am sure I could keep going on what I am not going to miss, but right now my mind just keeps telling me what I will miss.

I will miss my Best Friend, the one who can finish my sentences without me having to say a word. I will miss my Big Brother, for without him life can sometimes seem a little dull. I will miss my Columbian Sister and the BayBaa! Without you life will seem colorless! Oy! It looks like this is heading in a very long direction so I will stop right there for now.

Yep, I am getting ready to leave this place. It has been a blast but the time has come. Adios, so long, farewell, and all that crap! Hahahaha!

Blah blah blah! I know you really dont know exactly what it is that I am talking about but that is how I do things I guess. Everyone knows that I often have brain farts and it looks like this is heading in that direction!! Hahahaha
