And alas a week has started off for the better! I was awaken after a somewhat sleepless night at 8:20 by Chrissy telling me they were on their way. I laid in bed a little while longer before heading downstairs to start four loads of laundry that desperately needed done. If my parents would have seen all of those dirty clothes, they would have freaked. I ended up timing the loads perfectly.
After everything was drying, I gave Shar¡ a call. She sounded excited to hear from me and we talked for quite a while about nothing much really. She did say that she ended up tearing up the old letter because it was old news and writing me a new one before mailing it on Thursday. It very much sounds like she never mailed me one in the first place... I was being kind of quite just because I wanted to hear her talk and she wanted me to talk as well instead of just agreeing with everything she was saying. I though about how I used to always do that with Kimmeth, mainly listen. We were discussing how often I should call and she said she'd like me to call every two to three days so she can hear my voice. She was also talking about my idea of her getting a phone card and how she might not be able to because she doesn't have a job and so on, like getting a credit card. I liked the fact that she at least thought about the idea and did come up with a very good excuse which impressed me.
She asked me once if I had gotten those pictures of us developed yet, and I said no. She was thinking that she should get a camera and take pictures of all the things she does and people she hangs out with so I can see them all. She also was saying that I should come down more often than I am planning on. She said once that her stomach hurts. I piped up saying it's not my fault trying to be suggestive and she started laughing!!! When I asked her what she thought was so funny about that, she wouldn't tell me, no matter how much I insisted. I don't know whether she was laughing at me, or the TV, or whatever but maybe I am the reason her stomach hurts... Towards the end of our talk she was asking me if I was sure that I didn't have anything to talk about, because I usually do when I call. I tried to make it clear that I just wanted to talk to her (yeah... are you pregnant?!?) while the rates are the lowest. She said that she just wanted to make sure that there isn't something I wanted to say that I'll regret not saying later. She mentioned the time I wanted to talk about the letter and we never did.
My dad called me from downstairs right about then which was great! My clothes had just finished drying and I had them all help me bring them upstairs and fold and hang them. I was very glad for the help. My dad talked to Jon in the living room while we did so and while I visited Cathy. I let them watch Groundhog Day as I fixed lunch and showed them everything wonderful I have done so far this year like my test grades in German culture. We then went shopping in town at Target and Albertson's. I was going to buy cord a card and cover it with big Barney sticker - something he'd recognize. Shar¡ already said that she didn't really like people sending money when she was talking about an Aunt of hers. I thought about doing so but wouldn't trust her not to use it for cigarettes. But I really wanted to get him something so she would remember me every tine he uses it. I found this really cool hard book that has Barney teaching colors and thought it was perfect. I used to love those when I was little and feel better getting him something educational rather than just another toy. Now she can think about me whenever she reads it to him if she does.
After getting groceries, we went back to the room and had turkey sandwiches before they left for home. They met Ed just before they left as well and he actually presented himself as somewhat intelligent because he kept his mouth shut for the most part.
Later on, Leigh Anne came over and talked a long time with me. She then was rooting around in the stuff on my computer and found the pictures I have. She then proceeded to look at every pornographic picture I have and was rather disgusted by a lot of them. I admired her persistence and swore I don't ever look at them. It has actually been a hell of along time since I have except for the new ones I made of Shar¡ and Cord.
