I went to Lordsburg, NM for work today. We took the clients to the Shakespeare Ghost Town. It was fun. I will upload pics tomorrow. It was hot though.
After work I went to Aunt Tracys house. She made sour dough biscuits. They were so good! She gave me some of the starter that her grandmother gave her before she passed. She has had the starter for over 30 years! I feel privileged that she shared that starter with me and her recipe for the biscuits. I think its amazing to know that she kept it for that long and that its still useable. I love my Aunt and finding out things about her and her childhood. She shares with me all her baking/cooking secrets. It really helps me out. :)
I came home a little after that. I went to the store with my sister to get a few things from the store. My nieces wanted me to do their nails again. I needed to get polish remover. I also wanted to buy a movie, Beastly, but they were out of stock. I got what I needed and came home. My sister put one of the movies I already had in and I started on the kids' nails. They did great! I don't have a lot of patience so I was afraid I would yell or get frustrated with them if they moved too much. I didn't. I will take pictures tomorrow and post them, if they aren't rubbed off by then. I also did my sisters. She wanted them plain jane but I couldn't help myself. I did them bright pink with black palm trees on the thumbs. I then put the letter L O V E on the other fingers. :) They look cute. I like them. I am no professional mind you, but I think it came out okay. :) She really liked them and was happy. She said the last time she had them done was when she was married. I am happy to be able to do something nice for her. Especially when she does so much for me. SHe told me not to do the dished, she would do them and she even cleaned the house up before I got home from work. She also bought popcorn so we could watch movies tonight.
I have a hard time canceling plans. Some may think I am selfish for that and I am okay with that. Aunt Tracy says I just do things differently. It just bothers me when people cancel plans with me so I hate doing it to others. I say this cause me and Caleb were going to go out for dinner tonight, but then my sister came down. She wanted me to spend the day with her, I agreed. It was hard for me to just say okay. I have problems. Maybe I am a little OCD, I don't know. I think I just like to have control as much as possible. I feel like I lose it when some one asks me to change or alter plans. I did have fun though. I am glad I did cancel with Caleb and spend time with my sister and her kids.
I am planning a meeting between all my moms siblings so they can discuss my grandmas health. Its getting ridiculous. Theres a feud going on between at least 3 of them. Its so tiring trying to get everyone to agree to sit down and talk about whats going to be best for Meema. One Uncle told me my moms oldest sibling should make the decisions. I think not. They all need to sit down and agree on something Majority vote rules. Meema is aware of what is going on and even acknowledges that this meeting needs to take place. She said she would handle things. She didn't agree with my Uncle. I am glad on that. Who ever shows up for the meeting shows up. If they aren't there at the designated time then they don't get to voice their opinion. I told me Uncle that it wasn't up to one person and that one persons opinion doesn't out weigh everyone else's. I told him I disagreed with him and said what day it was going to take place. Oh well. I am okay if people get mad at me, but I am not afraid to tell someone when they are wrong. If they hate me for that than oh well. They can't handle the truth and are fools for it.
I think work is a little mad at me. I told payroll that I was going to report them to Department of Labor for not paying me, its been 3 months since they supposedly sent the check. LIES! My boss ended up calling me the next and asked me what was going on and she didn't know anything about this. I told her she did because I took it up with her first and she is the one that gave me payrolls number. She e-mailed someone and said she would get back to me on it. Its $40 that they owe me, I wouldn't even care if it was $2. I worked for it and want my money! I'm not greedy, just feel I deserve what I worked for at the pay I was hired on at. I really don't like the way this world is going.
What happened to the barter system or the days when you didn't have to worry about not getting paid? What happened to all the trust? My Great Grandpa Stowell use to run a store down here, way before I was born. I remember going thru his and my Great Grandmas belongings when they died. We found diamond rings and other valuables used as a loan for different things. They were always labeled with the owners names. He held on to all of it because he believed that they would come back with whatever they owed him. What happened to those days? What has happened to this countries people. When did we become so greedy and conniving?
Alright well I will get off my soap box now. Its bed time and I still need to write in my journal and read my scriptures as well pray. My niece is passed out next to me. Hmm. Church tomorrow should be fun. :)
