Adverse Happenings Often Occurring Suddenly and Unexpectedly

mmmm i love the taste of chocolate dream protein smoothie! at work my dad always has protein drinks or some kind of yummy protein bars. <>

im so gassy today.. BURPS not the gross stuff! i think ive recycled the flavor of everything ive had to eat today :) speaking of gas, guess what happened last night in the hot tub? we had girls night, typical cigarettes and cocktails with an endless flow of conversation. i was sitting on the edge of the tub with my pruney feet relaxing in the water and right in the middle of a detailed conversation about a boy im sure, i tooted. it wasn't a fart it was a toot. everyone heard it and kaitlin called me out on it by saying, "what was that?" i knew there was nothing i could do about because it was obviously very noticeable. i didn't even get flushed with embarrassment, i just said, "wow that has never happened to me before, im glad it happened in front of you guys!" then molly said, "that was a social disaster!"

We Called Her Grandma in Seattle

curt and i arrived in Seattle yesterday afternoon. mom and uncle john picked us up and they were so excited! not about us but about telling us that they found the most perfect plot for my grandma, right across from my grandpa jack :) they both kept saying, "we're the best!" and later John said, "you know that was God send." my mom was so relieved the plot was that close to him. she thought for sure grandma's would be next to the road or somewhere inconvenient were cars drove over as they turned the corner. but no it's perfect.
when we pulled to my grandma's little brick house, her brand new sage green car was just sitting in the driveway, i told myself, " get ready." i walked in and everything looked the same and smelled like it always does. the grandma smell is by far the best of all. it's not a nasty old people smell, like the poopy smell covered up with Chanel number 9. no it's way different, im sitting here now and i can't even describe it. it's not old people smell at all. it's like laundry, covergirl makeup, food, coffee, a hint of cigarettes still in the walls from when she was a smoker and dust from the backroom no one ever goes in. all i know is that when her door opened memories slapped me in the face as soon as the smell hit my nose. i walked all around her house. everything left just as she left it. her silky night gown moo moo (one of the many i would borrow and sleep in every time she came in town or i went to see her) is still sitting on her night stand next to the picture of grandpa jack when he was young and in the military and those fake diamond earrings im sure kayla talked her into buying. after looking around for a bit, i went to go pee and as i was sitting there taking care of my bodily functions i noticed my grandma's blow dryer still out and the paper she wrote on everyday to record her weight. im used to to not seeing her everyday because we live so far away but even now being at her house i feel like im waiting for her to come home and say, "Ah, baby! i love you so much!" i keep wanting to snuggle her and hold her rough little hands. today is the viewing and tomorrow is the funeral. i get to see her and touch her one last time. im not scared im just worried i won't be able to walk away.
