Honestly, Lying is Silly

        My sister seems to think it's funny to lie to me about things I can make a quick phone call about to find the truth.  The other day she called me to tell me she was going up to our mother's grave to add flowers and such.  At the same time she was informing me that she was going to visit our Pop(grandfather on our mother's side).  She also stated that he had recently gotten very sick and is dieing.  That horrified me quite a bit and since I'm in a different time zone I had to wait until the next day to call him and verify.  The last time I had talked to him was a few weeks ago.  Back then he said he was a little achy but nothing serious and that his back hurts a lot, and now he doesn't have the ability to mow the lawn anymore...  He's 80 years old...  I don't think many 80 year olds are still mowing their own yards anyway.  That, I would believe, is fairly normal.  So I talked to him yesterday around 10am his time, 7am my time.  Turns out he's feeling great, hasn't felt this good in a while.  We chatted a bit about San Francisco and his time in the Navy when he visited there.  Was telling me about the horrible storms he was getting in his area.  But he didn't suddenly become horribly sick and dieing.  Which that was very relieving.  Sometimes I wish my sister would just keep her mouth shut.  She also said she was going to visit him for a few days.  He told me about how she visited him for a few hours and she just left his house and had no clue where she went.  When she just went like 15 minutes away to stay at our mom's friend's house for a week and not see him or speak to him again.  Now I know for a fact that she rarely ever even calls him.  He usually sounds a little hurt or sad over that alone.  But when he told me she only stayed at his place for a few hours when she was up there for a week he sounded really upset.  And that really upsets me.  It's bad enough she lies to me about that stuff but treating Pop like that is evil.  It kind of makes me want to cry.  She's a spoiled brat.  Whenever I call Pop he says every time that he hasn't heard from my sister in months.  When we had insuarnce money coming in he heard from her weekly.  She's a terrible person.

Okay, I'm done ranting.

        Nothing has been going on really.  I let Star cut my hair so it's all evened out.  It's terribly short in the front.  I just want it all to grow out the same length for a change.  I'll post pics later of it.  When she had it straightened out it looked like a page boy cut.  It still does when it's messy, but I like it better when it's messy.  It's supposed to get to 105degrees Fahrenheit today.  So, I will most definitely be getting in the pool in a bit.  It's only at 78degrees so far.  So maybe in an hour or two I'll get in.  Nothing else to say.  Just needed to vent.  Posting vaguely about it on facebook isn't as fulfilling as a long vent.  

Nothing new...

Honestly, I am just trying to post on this regularly...  I did so well at the beginning.  But it was mostly for ranting/venting.  I'm pretty sure I've stated this before but, I'm going to try and post more positively.  I just need to get back to taking pictures again.  I haven't used any of my cameras in about a month.  Nothing really going on at the moment.  I played Minecraft on the Xbox360 for a few hours.  It has this terrible auto-save feature that saves every half hour.  I was mining in a cave...  I mined down underneath me one and dropped down, and while in mid-air the auto-save kicked in.  It saved over my original save and then I dropped in the lava...  So all the diamonds I had just mined are gone.  T.T  Made me sad..  I just thought it was funny that the auto-save saved right when I was dropping into the lava.  In Minecraft, if you die, you respawn on the surface but all of your inventory is gone.  On another note, I'm still working on cleaning the kitchen.  I've been scrubbing the counter daily.  In a typical home it wouldn't need to be scrubbed so much, but everyone here spills huge messes of food and Kool-Aid drinks and don't even bother to throw the food away or wipe up the drink.  They literally leave a huge pile of food on the counter all day.  It's quite gross.  I don't like touching things like that, so I just take a sponge and push it off the counter on to the floor for the gross dogs to eat.  I'm almost completely caught up on all the horrid dishes.  I washed 3 loads of dishes this morning.  Probably about 3 more loads left yet.  I hope to finish it all tonight.  Then I can give the stove top a much needed scrubbing.  They have so much food caked on to it, even though I washed it a few days ago, that the burners take forever to light.  Oh wells.  Last night/around 1am this morning, I made chicken and broccoli alfredo with spaghetti noodles.  It was delicious.  I used jar alfredo sauce though.  I can't afford to buy all the ingredients to make it from scratch.  But it was still good.  Tonight is the night the NASA probe thing is landing on Mars.  Xbox360 has this app thing where you can watch it on the 360.  Me and Jeremy plan to watch it tonight.  I can't wait.  I hope it's as cool as it sounds.  Okies, I guess that's all for today.  I'm going to take pictures today.

Wheeee...

Monterey Bay Aquarium was great.  The Asilomar Beach was great too.  Was rainy and windy on the beach, but it was so cool.  There was a humongous tree trunk just sitting there.  Still hating this household but trying to just grin a bare it.  Went to San Fran for a day..  The hills were so scary to drive.  I love the huge park they have there.  In June me, Jeremy, his brother, and mom went to Long Beach, CA to visit my boyfriend's grandparents he hadn't seen since he was a kid.  We stayed there for a few days.  The beach there was so nice.  Me and Jeremy played in the ocean for hours.  Then we all went to Vegas for a week to visit his aunts and uncles.  His aunt and uncle let me and Jeremy use their time share for a night.  It was so nice.  The pool was awesome there.  It was huge and had a neat waterfall you could go under.  I absolutely love swimming.  I set up a pool in the yard and got a salt water filter for it.  It keeps the water perfectly clear.  When I had a pool before my dad didn't let me run the filter...  So we were having to constantly empty it and refill it...  It would have been cheaper for him to just let me run the filter a few hours a day..  Eh, what do I know?  I've recently discovered Jamba Juice.  It's so delicious.
