Sharon's Blurty:
| Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 | |
| 8:01 am | Weak I have a migraine. I keep crying off and on....I am carrying some guilt surrounding my Aunt Sharon's pending death. I've spoken to my Mother about it and she tells me that it is something I should just let go....no one can tell the future. I'm also sad that my family keeps getting smaller and smaller. A fact of life, I know. But heartbreaking nonetheless. I wish I could shut my heart off. |

| 8:53 pm | Udpate The doctor advised my cousin that my Aunt has internal bleeding, the stomach, intestines, etc. and there is nothing they can do for her. He says that she will live no longer than a week. After she passes, she will be cremated and my cousins will hold a memorial in January after the Holidays. My Aunt has expressed her wishes to have her ashes scattered over Bear Tooth Pass in Montana....the most beautiful place she's seen. |

| 8:43 pm | Update She has Sepsis and is in critical condition. |
| 4:52 pm | Her Namesake About ten minutes out of Victoria, my Mom called to tell me that my Aunt Sharon has taken a turn for the worse. Her eyes were open, but she was unresponsive. Mom is on her way to Houston and will keep me updated. I had much to think about on my drive back home. Much of my childhood/early teen years were spent being sheltered and feeling scared(because of my Dad) and , my Aunt and cousins lived a very hard life. I have always loved my Aunt Sharon and her children the most, I guess because we were always together. My Mom and my Aunt Sharon are inseparable (in the heart). However, the times I spent with them were always learning experiences, sometimes (mostly) frightening (to me), but learning experiences nonetheless. She was all about teaching the ways of the real world and never babied me. She would put me in my place when I would pull the spoiled brat card. In fact, I've learned something very important from each of my Mom's brothers and sisters and their life stories. My Mom's world and my Dad's world might as well be in two distant galaxies....I digress. She may be viewed as rough around the edges by many people, but she is "good people", one would have to spend time with her to know I suppose. A true heart of gold she has. You know, I look back at all of those scared little girl memories and I softly laugh....not because it was necessarily funny, but because so much time was wasted being afraid of life (the way Dad would still like it). She's said many times recently that she's not scared of death. She welcomes it, she's weary. I can only hope as her namesake, to be a woman as strong and brave as she. I'm working on it. |

| 1:32 pm | I was walking around the men's section in Macy's looking for Christmas presents when the smell from the cologne section hit my senses in an unexpected way. It made me crave a man to be able to kiss and lick his neck. I got so turned on I had to walk away. Ridiculous, really. |

| 8:50 am | Owie Any money that is not spent on this cruise is going directly to buying a new mattress. I haven't been getting much sleep and I walk like a damn old woman when I get up in the morning because my low back is killing me :( |

| 4:44 pm | Today my Father turned 84. Wow. I mean, I think of all my Father has witnessed in his 84 years and I can only hope that I make it to that point. I am taking him to dinner tonight to Saltgrass and I will endure any quips about bad eating habits with a grin. A celebration of a long full life and no melancholy thoughts as to whatever short time he has left....because whatever the time frame is....it will always be too short for me. Happy 84th birthday Daddy. I love you so. |
| 1:56 pm | OOPS I did it again. |

| 12:44 pm | I took my formal to the seamstress today to be hemmed. The people there commented on how the dress brought out my eyes and how "they liked the dress on me"....which I found entertaining as I've never seen these people before in my life. Oh well, they were nice compliments and I took them with a smile. The dress really does compliment my eyes and is quite slimming. Dress will be ready next Monday :) |

| 1:51 pm | NOT the best of days... After coming out of the shower all fresh and sparkly clean, my Dad starts yelling from outside that we have "a serious problem." I head outside and there is a two inch slit in the bottom seam of the pool. Water gushing and flooding one particular area. Can't patch it as it is at the bottom of the pool. So, I have to jump in and unplug the hose plug so the water can drain out there. Fire ants everywhere....including on my hands, arms and legs. No pool. Fire ant bites. Ciao. Current Mood: Pissy |

| 4:01 pm | I believe I will be having a rather large goblet of wine tonight. This work day has blown. Big. Hairy. Donkey. Schlong. That's all. |

| 11:44 am | Finally, some peace for a beautiful soul My Aunt Helen died this morning. Why I even try to fight back the tears is beyond me. Current Mood:  sad |
| Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 | |
| 8:40 pm | I can't recall ever crying over an episode of DC....until tonight. Seeing a man cry gets me every time....and the words he said just wrenched my heart. Stupid show. |
| 12:27 pm | I was looking at my desk calendar for the month of July and just realized I have the next three Fridays off. Hoo-ray :) |

| 12:23 pm | I just finished buying my evening shoes for the cocktail dress and the formal. Very pretty, very feminine. Now, I can take the formal to the seamstress to hem. Not much left that needs to get done before we leave :) |
