Well, well, well. Look who came back to life to blog. Haha, yeah, that'd be me. Sorry it has taken so long to make another blog & seemed like years! Apologies.
Anyways, there has been so much to catch up on! I indeed have been very busy. Well, the last time I blogged I was preparing for a nice, short Cape Cod trip with my Mom & sister. I had fun with them while I was there. My sister did occasionally get on my nerves, but it was minor. No worries. I connected with my Mom & sister more than ever also including my grandmother & uncle. It was a good time. Then, on Thursday the day we were supposed to come back we had a lovely lunch with my grandmother & her friend. On the way home we stopped at Christmas Tree where it hit me; why couldn't I stay? I mean, ever since we got there it was all crappy weather. Rain, rain, rainnnn. The upcoming weather was supposed to be sunny & if you live in Massachusetts & are an avid Cape Cod go-er than you'd know that sun is important on the island. So, I could write better in my book that way & re-live/enjoy the memories better. Besides, my grandmother needed help around the house with her bad arm. I could be brought back the day of my sister's party she was planning in a week. Panicking to find a way to stay, I realized I did not pack enough clothes for such a trip, but I figured I'd work around it & clean the little clothes I had every day. But, my dad had the cleaver idea of me going home, pack-up, & then him along with my mom could drive me on Saturday. Perfect plan. I could stay until the next Saturday the day of the party.
So, I headed home re-packed & got as much Internet time as I could since there isn't a connection at their house. On Saturday the adventure began. Half-way there, the car had the Alternator go & were left running on the battery, no electricity throughout the car. It was scary. We feared that if the car turned off, it'd never go back on. We'd be stuck. So, the stressful ride was concluded when we arrived safe & sound at my grandmother and uncle's. The car in fact didn't work once turned off, so he called for a tow truck which indeed dropped the car off at the dealer & dropped my parents off at their home. (But, no worries, as of now the car is repaired & working, good as new.) This by the way, was the 4th of July. Talk about luck, Haha. My 4th wasn't spent exciting like others, but more relaxing. Watching the Pops & hanging out. It was nice (:
The rest of the week was smooth. I woke up earlier than normal. Some days I took walks to get energized. Some days my grandmother & I didn't go anywhere because she couldn't drive with her arm & there was no car to do so anyways. Other days, my uncle would take us on little errands. One day my grandmother's friend who had lunch with us before, took us out to lunch again at a really fancy place. Some days, we had dinner out. All in all it was fun. I really enjoyed myself even though some people would think it was boring. It wasn't to me. I'm easy to please that way.
My uncle got me into this show called Freaks & Geeks, which was filmed from 1999-2000. The show only lasted 2 seasons & I saw the whole series. I'm addicted. It's a shame the show didn't make it further. Seth Rogen, James Franco, & so many more are so funny to see looking so young & beginning their careers, Haha. I also saw the Michael Jackson Memorial which I think was done very well. Fit for a King. It was sad. Heartbreaking to hear Michael's daughter talk & his brother sing an old favorite. I have so much more respect for Michael now. He seemed like a great guy even if other's disagree. I don't care anymore for what those people think.
So, Saturday was the big party at my sister's new-ish house. It was a house-warming party/ my other sister's 40th Birthday Party. Family was there, their neighbors were there, & my sister's friends were there. Lots of people I met & didn't know. I really connected with my niece which is something I didn't expect. I missed her. She's turning into one cool kid, Haha (:
Anyways, the day was sunny & perfect until night time when it poured off & on. Lots of people got semi-drunk which first proved to me why I'm straight-edged & secondly, was just plain funny to watch them interact. Ohh, god. Good times, Haha.
My uncle didn't attend for various reasons, so he dropped me off at home before the party & had my grandmother sleepover. We arrived home late & I was exhausted once my head hit the pillow.
Sunday was off & on good & bad. My uncle came to pick-up my grandmother. But, not before visiting Patriot's Place where they both found some football gear. I have no interest in sports, so when I saw bands setting up for the live, free show later, I was hooked on staying to hear them play. The decision was to have my uncle & grandmother leave back to the Cape. Once they were gone, we headed back to Patriot's Place to eat lunch at CBS Scene outside where we could hear the bands. The two bands playing were: Sarah RabDAU and the Self-Employed Assassins & The Motion Sick. Both from Boston & pretty locally popular. I caught just the end of Sarah's performance & bought her CD, which is by far AMAZING! Haha. I can't stop listening to it. A mixture of Emilie Autumn & The Dresden Dolls. Great (: I was very pleased.
I caught all of The Motion Sick's set & they too were amazing. I was going to get their CD, but the booth closed. I plan to use iTunes to fill my need, Haha.
Other than that, Sunday I was tired from everything. It was a relaxing day. Just like these past few days have been. The rest of the week shouldn't be so bad, so that's good! The mall & a haircut on the way. Not so bad to me.
As for Virginia plans, that'll be postponed until after my mom's knee surgery. In a few weeks. Which, is alright. I can wait (:
Other than that, this summer really seems to have kick-started into full swing. Yay, thankfully. Finally, Haha.
By the way, those photos attached in this entry are pretty awsome. The boat on the water one was taken on the way leaving Cape Cod back home last Saturday for the party. It's over the Bourne Bridge. Pretty cool. The next in black & white is when I was leaving the Cape the first time. The top of the tower was foggy & it looked cool on the cloudy day. Lastly, that firework was from my sister's party. That firework was accompanied by a funny story, Haha. That would conclude this session of blog photography. I'll have more photos from last week in the upcoming entries, I'm sure.
