Weekend Update

I made some money off of eBay and after figuring in the costs of the items, the packaging materials and the shipping costs, I did okay. I sold about half of the stuff I listed and some of it went for more than I could have imagined. The other side of the coin is that I am free of a bunch of "stuff" and the bookshelves are a little leaner. Maybe I can get on KSL classifieds and Craigslist and try to move the remaining junk that way. Hmmmmmm........

School starts next week. I like that I get a half of a week to myself before I have to start my own classes. This is going to be a great year for AJ & CC. Maybe me too?!

LL's girl is here "in country" as of late Saturday evening. We won't see her til Monday morning but her text said she was on the ground at the airport. I know it is knocking LL on her butt to have her girl here (and not there). I don't know how she managed to get from her airport back to her home. There aren't wiper blades on eyelids. It had to be killer. Her text said it was hard watching her daughter "walk away". It takes a lot of faith and guts to let go like that. It's LL's b-day tomorrow and this is a cruddy way to spend it. I wish I could fly out there and spend time with her doing some celebrating. Money is the root of all plane tickets!

Talked to Soda today. He called to ask me to come to his work so he could talk. Once I was there, all he wanted to tell me was that he wasn't a "cry baby" and that he was fine, "sorry to have bothered you". Geez, Soda. What the heck is so wrong with feeling emotional about the woman you love having a potentially life-threatening event in her life? How can you be that shut down? Sometimes he is such a neanderthal. But I love him anyway.

Gotta find a new phone plan. Stone wants the phone back for his boy once he is returned from hi mission next month. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Probably just go back to using a prepaid Tracfone and use it only if it is absolutely necessary. That will hurt, cuz I've just gotten used to having text access to LL and JW, etc. Easy come, easy go though.

My legal assisting is still going on. I tell you what, some of the things that people fight over when they are breaking up are so sad. And how about the way they put their kids in the middle of things as little guilt tools to manipulate their situations. Police escorts to supervise getting your stuff from your former house, not returning the kids from visitation, refusing to let the kids see the other parent, moving out of state where one parent won't see the kids very often if ever...Gotta have a strong constitution to handle this stuff day after day - for a living.

Ever read these books?
A Boy, A Dog, A Frog and A Friend
Frog on His Own
Frog, Where Are You?
A Boy, A Dog and a Frog

Just wondering...
