So today was a very busy day. First of all yesterday was my mom's 54th birthday. Thursday she got a party thrown by her work friends. Then Friday night (her actual bday) Mike cooked her a fabulous meal. Then today Jeff threw her another bday party. We got there at four and didn't get home until 10:30pm. It was a long night but a good one. There was good food on the grill and Jeff even remembered to cut me up a cucumber because salad and Crohn's Disease don't mix. That made me happy. We had a really awesome cake too and slow churned vanilla ice cream. My mom really loved her Mama Mia soundtrack with bonus DVD. Which I still need to pay Jeff for because he got it for me while he was out today and I totally forgot to give him 20$ before I left. I kinda feel bad about that. Oh well. I'll just give it to him the next time I see him. *shrug*

So anyway Mom and Mike are going to a flea Market in the morning. The crazies are leaving at 7 in the morning 0.0
When they get back, Mom and I are going gerbil supply shopping! Finally! I've been waiting so long. I'm so excited! But I'm also waiting for the other shoe to drop and we won't be able to go. I have a list of supplies in the order I want to get them. The gerbils are at the very bottom. I want to set up their little home before I buy them. They say it's a good thing to do. Plus it'll be easier to shell out the money in a few trips especially when I'm getting paid on the 30th. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of money to get everything including the Gerbs in one trip. But this way I'll still have some money left over since I don't think my mom is going to let me use my stimulus check towards this purchase. I think she wants me to save half and use the other half on some clothes that actually fit.

But anyway! I am so on my way to getting those gerbils! I'm so excited! Hmm maybe that's why I can't sleep =D it probably is. It's gotta be.

So maybe I'll shower or maybe I'll just lay down and close my eyes and see where that gets me.

Goodnight my lovilies!

So I haven't been working on my HGC fic so much right now. Mike's birthday is tomorrow and he won't let us buy him anything. So I decided to make him a scarf, except I just barely got the yarn for it and I still have 5 and 1/2 feet to knit.

Also, my cousin's baby shower is a week from Saturday. I'm knitting a baby blanket for her. I have about 6 - 10 inches to go. I'm not really sure b/c I haven't measured it lately. So I've got to spend most of my time right now on those and then I can get back to writing. Maybe when I take breaks from knitting, I can write. You know, alternate between the two.

Anyway, I've got to get back to knitting if I want to get Mike's scarf done in time.

Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed.

Hey guys. Sorry I didn't do a real post today. I was mostly chillaxin with my beautiful baby boy kitty, Buddy. I've been taking pictures of him off and on all day. It's been fun. He's so cuddly. I'm not used to that at all, but I completely love it! I love having a cat that doesn't care if I play with his paws or pick him up or cuddle with him as much as possible. He knows who his mama is =) Also, I noticed the day we got him that he has a brown [ ♥ ] on his back with a black tiger stripe down the middle of it. I feel like it's a sign or something. Like, he's going to heal my broken heart, like he was meant to come home with me. He sleeps with me all night and it's nice. He keeps me warm, especially with our house being so damn cold. Buddy and I sleep in the coldest room in the house.

But anyway.... I've got to get to bed. I actually have to leave my house tomorrow. Fun. I really just want to stay home for a week or two to just hang out with Buddy. I don't think he likes being alone. Another one of those cats. Oh well.

Bedtime! And snuggle time with my Buddykins =D

Jeezus! I'm so frickin excited about today that I can't get back to sleep. This is gonna suck by the end of the night. But I can't help it. I just want to go to petsmart / petco and the necessaries for my new kitty. We need a new litter box, some new toys, litter, food but we'll probably have to wait to see which one we adopt to figure out the food. Plus they'll need a collar and nametag, not that they'll wear it. I have Logan's tag on my keychain. Now I just need to find MnM's. Then all my memories of my babies will be with me all the time.

Damn. I really canNOT wait for today and then tonight. Today is going to be awesome. I can feel it. Can't you?

Anyway, Imma go on my freezing cold porch and have a smoke. Maybe when I come back in and get under my toasty blankets, I'll be able to get back to sleep. If not, I'll take a shower..... Maybe.

Well, I'm gonna go have that smoke now. I'll update later tonight and tell you how everything goes. Keep your fingers crossed.

So, this week has been very exciting so far. On Monday my dad has his replacement hip replaced. No, I'm not kidding. The hip they put in him last year was recalled so they had to put a new one in. But my younger sister Vanessa — Teeny Tiny Andrew's mom — says Dad's doing good and he should be home in a few days.

Vanessa also told me that the day my dad had his surgery was the day our new niece Makenzie Marie was born.

Also found out from my aunt that my older sister Jessica has heard both heartbeats. Yes, both. She's having twins.

Also, I get to see Jaci's new apartment on Friday. If she has the money, she's going to take me out for dinner for my bday. It'll be fun. Maybe I'll get to see Dora the Doggie.

Then on Saturday my mom and I are going to petco or petsmart to get ready for a new kitty. Then we'll go to the Concord-Merrimack County SPCA to adopt a new cat. I have my eye on a little cutie named Buddy. But we don't know if we'll get him that day since they have to approve our adoption application. But here's a picture of my little Buddy.

Ain't he cute? He reminds me of my sister's cats.

Okay, on to Saturday night. The whole gang is going out to Newicks for my birthday dinner on my actual bday. I can get my meal free or up to ten dollars off. It's our new family tradition.......well since last year when Newicks came to Concord.

Anyway that's my update on my Birthday Week.

Love always,
amanda: jaclyn's twin sister ♥

[EDIT: I was trying to post this sometime after midnight last night but LJ was doing maintainence (sp?) so I'm posting it now..... Ya know, if it feels like working]

So I just found out today that my mom and I are going shopping for some new toys, litter box, litter, cat food and all those nice essentials. My birthday is Saturday and we're going to the Concord-Merrimack County SPCA to adopt a cat! For my birthday!!!!

I can't wait for Saturday! There's an 11 - 12 month old kitty named Buddy. He's the cutest kitty ever! My sister's cats are Jake and Junior b/c they look like twins, but Jake is bigger and older. So the reason I interrupted myself is this: Buddy could be their long lost brother. So now between my older sister Jessica and me, we'll have Jake, Junior and Buddy aka Junior Jr. LOL tho I shouldn't get my hopes up. We're still going to have to be approved for adoption. AND we have to make sure Buddy is the right guy for us. But I'm sure he will be.

*sigh* I just hope everything works out. I whope that if Buddy is a good match and they approve us on the spot, that when Saturday afternoon comes we'll be bringing home my new home alone companion. I miss having the company of a kitty when I'm here by myself. I miss having a little fur ball wake me up in the morning. I miss listening to the battle cry of late night hunts.

I can' wait till my birthday! It's gonna be a good one this year. I can feel it. I'm sure of it.

Bedtime now. I hope to have chapter 03 of Collide posted sometime later today. Sleep well little flisters ♥

So yesterday most of the country had a wicked snow / ice storm. I, of course, had two appointments scheduled. Luckily both people called and canceled. One of them is a weekly appointment that we're just skipping this week and will be back in swing for next week at our regularly scheduled time. But the other was rescheduled for today at 4:30. I already have an appointment at 2:00. But my therapist told me that if any of her appointments after my med check (at 2) were canceled, she'd slip me in so I didn't have to go back and forth to Riverbend. She said she'd just tell my nurse if the appointment changed, so I won't know till I get there the first time. But it would be definitely nice if her 2:30 canceled so I can go right from my med check to my counseling appointment. But knowing my luck it won't happen. O_o


On a better note, I've been looking at craigslist.org to find a cat. I've found a whole huge list of ones I liked. But there's one I really like, even without a picture. It's described as a blue bi-colored Snowshoe, male, very affectionate. EXACTLY what I'm looking for in a cat. I looked up the Snowshoe breed in this cat book I have and Snowshoes are the cutest! They're a cross between a Siamese and a Birman, and a Birman is close in looks to a Ragdoll! It's so cool. Anyway..... I told my mom that my birthday is in almost a week and I want a cat for my birthday. Her response was something like, Now that's something I can do. So hopefully I'll be getting a cat soon. Then maybe I won't be so lonely in my house by myself. It'd be nice.

I just want you all to know, that this is not me not caring about Logan. But we knew when she was about a year old that she might have a shorter life span b/c she had a pretty moderate heart murmur; although that is not what took her out. We lost our other cat three years ago this April. For the past two years I have wanted to get another cat for Logan to be friends with. When we lost MnM, Logan started having bad separation anxiety. We could go to the neighbors' for just an hour and when we got home she'd just meow and meow and meow and not leave us alone, which was bad b/c she never liked to get picked up or petted much so when you tried to do that, bad things happened, if you get my drift (ie: biting). But it was worse after MnM died. I think it's b/c we got Logan when she was 8 weeks old. She went right from living with her littermates to living with MnM for 7 and a half years. I think it was traumatic for her. Also, I watched Logan be put to sleep. It was almost like instant closer. And I think 9 years of worrying that I'd wake up one day to find her dead from her heart condition sort of helped me prepare. Like I always knew I wouldn't have long with her. I still miss her and sometimes still look for her. Last week when Mom & Mike dropped me off after our dinner out, I came in the house, took off my shoes & coat and put my keys away and then went to call out "Baby!" only to realize that if I did, Logan wouldn't come running. So yeah, it still sucks, it will always suck, but I need someone to keep me company and someone I can love and heal my broken heart.

I figured that since I did a Christmas Wish List, I thought I'd do one for my birthday— which is, btw, February 7th. So here's my list:

AMANDA's BIRTHDAY WISH LIST

1. Lots of different colored yarn (if u do this I may make u something out of it too. So send lots! LOL)

2. Demi Lovato's CD, I'm not sure what it's called, but it has the song Get Back on it.

3. Birthday cards in the mail....or any other mail that would make me smile

4. iTunes cards

5. Knitting needle stoppers (u put them on the ends of ur needles so ur stitches don't fall off when ur taking a break)

6. A mix CD of songs u think I might be interested in (I need some new music)

7. Hanson mood theme for el-jay and if u can, please include one for chair-dancing and/or insomnia.

I think I should just leave it at seven since that was the day I was born.

Email me:

Goodnight F-List!
*hugs*

I'm very sorry that I broke the rules and did not post something happy yesterday. But we were quite busy with shopping for birthday presents, going to the birthday party, then buying Christmas presents, so I did not have the time. But I'm making up for it by posting what made me happy yesterday AND today. =)


Day #5 (yesterday)
     What made me happy yesterday was seeing baby Lily open the present we got her for her first birthday. It was a stuffed animal, a sheep with her baby and it was the softest thing ever! But Lily's favorite parts of the present were the ribbon and tissue paper. But that's not all that surprising b/c she's only one year old. She was completely cute and that made me smile.  =)


Day #6 (today)
     Today what made me happy was going to Mulligan's with Mom, Jeff and Mark. Jeff and Mark go to Mulligan's for breakfast just about every Sunday. And they always get the same waitress! This was Mom's second time and this was my first time going there. The place was really nice and quiet and calm, and the food was delish! I had to bring most of it home b/c I got a Club omlette and they make them with 3 xtra large eggs, it was HUGE!!! It doesn't even really look like I ate any of it b/c it's so big. But it was yummy with bacon, turkey, cheese, and tomatoes in it. Hence why it's called "The Club."


So that is my happiness post.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
I'll talk to you later!

Okay. So my day started out really happy. I woke up this morning from a really nice dream. It was about my husband who doesn't know he's my husband and me. It was his birthday and I was with him and his friends and it was wonderful. He was hugging me and kissing me and just....*sigh* It was nice.

I keep dreaming about him lately. Probably b/c it's Christmas. I usually only dream about him when I'm going to see him. I almost always see him at Christmas. So here's keeping my fingers crossed. Especially since every time I see him, he gives me the most amazing hugs. I know, I sound like the biggest dork ever. But I can't help it. I've totally had a crush on him since the seventh grade. And I've known him for almost 22 years now. My family has always thought we'd get together some day. His cousin even tried to set us up once. But he said I was too much like a sister. bleh.

Anyway. So that's what made me happy today. Waking up from a nice dream of my dream guy. =D

What could be better?

So yesterday was my birthday.
My mom and I went out for dinner and a movie.
We went and saw Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus / Best of Both Worlds in 3D at the iMax theater.
(guilty pleasure much?)
It was amazing!
I'd advise anyone to see a concert in 3D at an iMax theater.
Or hell, just any movie!
I will admit to jumping a few times when things were coming off the screen right at my face.
Like the guitar pick.
Or the drumstick.
But otherwise it was sooooooooooooo amazing!
I don't think I can really explain just how awesome it was.
The best ever!

Then we went to Newick's for dinner.
I got Seafood Shepard's Pie.
Totally awesome!
AND it was 10$ off b/c it was my birthday.
And for anyone that goes on their birthday, bring your ID b/c they WILL check it.
So our bill of 25$ made it down to 15. BONUS!
The only thing that kinda sucked was the waitress was a little slow.
But I really didn't care b/c the food was so yummy and I could seriously eat there for the rest of my life!

Finally, when we got home around 8:30pm I got to open presents.
I got 20$ in iTunes money from my sister and her husband.
they rock.
And my mom gave me the most AMAZING sterling silver earrings that were, get this, FLAMINGO'S!
Srsly!
My mom is the best ever.
Then we had chocolate cake that my mom made with homemade chocolate frosting.
I can't believe I wasn't sick to my stomach.

I do believe this is one of the best birthdays ever in my 23 years.
23 rocks my socks. XD

Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday dear Emilie
Happy Birthday to You


Dear Emilie, To You on Your 21st Birthday:
I went to Blossom Hill.
I walked in snow up to my knees (wearing clogs) for 6 miles feet.
I saw the yellow cross in the snow.
Mom joked that it was pee.
I knew it was alchol. -Your dad didn't break his promise-
I wanted to get you blue and white flowers for your birthday.
Blue & white for snow/ice/December.
Blue for the mood I'm feeling.
But there were no blue flowers for me to buy.
Instead I got you purple daisies.
I tucked a little card into them.
It said, "Happy 21st, Em. I<3U, love Amanda."
I wish I could have written more.

Then I left Blossom Hill & went home to shower; I had a party to attend.
I went to your house, had a coke, talked with Cheryl from Including Samuel.
Your dad surprised your mom with a visit from the Daly's.
You gave Dan a kidney.
You saved his life.
Your mom could have killed your dad for pushing them upon her without notice.
She, of course, loved it anyway.
Talked to Uncle Bill & Joan, ate delicious food, and tried to find a place to stand -- there were tons of people!
Your mom made us sign birthday balloons.
I wrote, Always the brightest smile in the room.
Mom signed her name with mine.
Then we sang happy birthday and cut the cake.
It was chocolate-y goodness.
Then I sat down and read Your book.
I read about your organ donations, I read letters from teachers.
I read a poem you wrote called "I AM."
One line said, I want to be remembered.
My heart broke just a little when I read that.
Your godfather & Dan both were honored with releasing balloons into the air.
Then Alexandra took me upstairs to get my coat and Mom and I went home.

I celebrated your 21st birthday today.
Everyone was there....except you.
I miss you.
When I was in the shower today, song lyrics kept repeating in my head.

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now,
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go,
But I still need you to know:
I miss you, sha la la, I miss you.


That's it.
To a "t"
Period.
The end.
That's how I feel.

You were, and still are, a very special person.
A special friend.
My pretend twin sister.
And that's for life, 'cause I'm still hanging on.
You an' Me, Building #19.
Tony's Bakery Sweetbread.
Strangers stopping our mom's to say we're the cutest twins ever.



We're still just little girls in tu-tu's doing the can-can.

Woo-Woo Babies & Twin Sisters forever.
Happy 21st Birthday, Emilie.
You are always remembered.

love,
amanda<3
