A knot of my daily happenings, boredom posts, and venting periods. Sometimes humorous, other times, genuine. No matter what the topic, I'm sure you will enjoy reading.

Update

Hey!! I haven't posted about my everyday expiriences in awhile. So, I will do that now:

Nothing much has happend in the last couple of days. On Saturday the Kozy's left for Canada. I hope they have a really awesome time! I will miss them, but I'm glad they get to spend time together as a family.

Yesterday was church. I kept thinking that it was August 1 and that there was no more choir. No, it was only July 31, so we sang. There was hardly anyone in the choir loft, let alone in the church. Altogether, there were about 5 sopranos, 4 altos (Mrs. Keys played piano), 2 tenors, and 0 basses. We sang a joyful noise unto the Lord though!! Thankfully, the song we sang was easy.

After church, Brittany came home with us to spend time with Audrey. We went out to lunch at Azteca. Wow, I love that place. I felt so secluded though because we were put in a little room, mostly used for parties, in the back of the resturant next to the kitchen. Without a doubt, the best part of that resturant is the chips and salsa. You get unlimited bowls for your whole meal! You can be like halfways through with your chips and salsa and they will go and get you a nice big refill of warm nachos and spicy salsa. And they are good, too! Homemade...
My favorite part of going out to lunch is not being able to get whatever food you want and free refills, but getting to spend time with my family. We always have weire conversations when we go out to lunch. It was nice to get to know Brittany a little better. She's hilarious.

After lunch, we came back to our house. I played Sequence, Uno, and LIFE with Brittany. She beat me in LIFE by like one million dollars, but only because she bought all of those stocks! LOL I was a doctor, and I lost to an artist! :)

Like an hour and a half before evening service started, we went to Akron General to see my uncle Jeff. He had a stroke, but thankfully he is doing better. Since it was so hot, all 4 girls (Mom, Brittany, Audrey, and I) were all wearing skirts. These teenage girls sitting on sofas when we walked in were just STARING. That is my pet peeve, when somebody stares at me, along with when somebody gives me the silent treatment. I think they thought that we were that religion that didn't allow females to wear pants. It was so annoying because they even turned around to stare at us when we passed them!

When we went up to floor 8, Uncle Jeff was eating his meal infront of the tv in the hallway. I don't know what people are talking about when they say hospital food is nasty. That food looked good! Unlce Jeff had roast beef, carrots, and mashed potatos. Mmm, my mouth was watering just looking at him eat that!

The 3 girls sat on the sofa while my dad, mom, and brother sat at the table and talked with him. He was watching Fantasy Island, or something like that. The one with the two guys, the tall one and Tatto, the little Japenese midgit. Yeah, well since my dad and uncle were talking, we watched that. I couldn't understand it because I guess hospital tvs have a set volume only dogs can hear. And then I began to smell something. At first, I thought it smelled like old macaronni and cheese, and then I realized it smelled like cat food. It was the hospital! The entire Akron General Medical Hospital smelled like catfood. I feel bad that the patients have to smell that all day.

Being in that hospital made me sad. I saw patients being rolled out in the hallway with tubes in their noses, IVs in their arms, oxygen tanks, and a whole bunch of other things stuck into their bodies. I wish nobody had to live like that. It reminded me of my grandpa Jim living in that nursing home. My grandma would visit him 2 or 3 times a day, and whenever we would visit her she would take us to visit him. Everytime I went, I saw this old woman that would be in the hallway, just sitting in a chair with her walker infront of her, yelling at the nurses and anybody who went by. It made me sad every time I saw her because I knew she was doing it out of pain and lonelyness. Whenever I saw her, I would try to give her a smile. I just hope that helped her have a better day.

Well, when it was time to go, we gave my uncle a big hug and kiss for the surgery he would be having the next day (today). We walked down the hallway to the elevators. We realized when we got in that all of the buttons had been pushed. Now there are 9 floors (including the 1st floor, the basement) and we were on the 8th. So, it took us 6x as long to get to the 2nd floor (the floor that leads onto the street). It was funny though because we were jumping as we went down each of the 6 floors.

And then after church we came home. When I got on the computer a few hours later, something was wrong with AIM. Whenever I would sign on, and away message would popup saying "LOL LOOK" and then a link. The link was a virus and whenever you would click on the link, you would install a virus into your computer that did the same thing. It is more of an annoyance than a problem. So, Dad installed Norton AntiVirus while I sang karaoke for Audrey. When I tried to get on this morning, it took me 5 minutes to start up AIM. It is sooo slow! Grr, modern technology is such a pain. But, you gotta love it.
