 | You scored as Elinor Dashwood, As Marianne's older sister, Elinor lives at the other end of the emotional spectrum. She rarely reveals her intense feelings and is more concerned with being honest and loyal than having what she deserves. Even though her intentions are pure, she sets herself up for loss by constantly placing other people before her own needs. Overall, Elinor is gentle and rational but is just as capable of radical emotions (despite her withholding them) as her sister.

Alone again
On Thursday I took the girls to Raleigh to the Museum of Natural science and the museum of history. Then on Friday my youngest sister and I took them to the ocean on Friday. We didnt stay long because the youngest niece wasnt feeling well.
My sister and brother in law arrived Saturday evening. The girls sure would glad to see them. We all went out to eat at one of the Mexican restaurants here in town and then went to Baskin Robbins for dessert. The youngest niece still wasnt feeling well. We visited after dinner then went to bed about 11. They were up and gone by 9 on Sunday morning, sure feels lonely. I was with them in IN for about 4 weeks then they were down here for almost two so Im all on my own again.
My sister called me this morning and said she had taken Shay to the doctor. They gave her some heavy duty antibiotics and took xrays. They suspect she may have pneumonia, if you are reading this and you are a praying person please keep her in your prayers.
Now that things are quiet here I am going to start getting things ready for the new school year. Only 21 days until the teachers go back so I want to get ready. That is all for now. More later.

Company
It's Thursday night and the girls are still with me. The youngest niece has spent almost the entire time not feeling well. We havent made it to the beach yet because Im afraid to let her get in the water, afraid it will make her worse. Yesterday we went and saw Evan Almighty. It was very good and tastefully done. Today we went to the museum of natural science and the museum of history in Raleigh. The girls enjoyed both but the science was their favorite. We are going to drive to the beach and at least walk along the shore tomorrow. Hopefully it wont make little one sicker. Their parents are coming tomorrow to get them, it sure will be lonely when they are gone.
My younger sister, the newlywed came up this evening, she is spending two nights so she can go see some friends that are in the area for work. She said her hubby almost cried when she left. AWWWWWWWWWW young love. I cant remember anyone ever hating to see me go that bad. I want that...lol ... oh well...dream on.
After the girls leave Im going to start working on school stuff. The beginning of the school year is getting here so fast, it is just unreal. The teacher's go back on Aug 20th and then the students return on the 27th. Where has the summer gone?? Wont be long before it will be the holidays again. My dad always said that as you get older the time goes faster, he was right.
Well I am off to bed for the night. Until later.

HP and other such things
I was so excited!!! I preordered the new Harry Potter book and it was set to arrive on Saturday. Checked the mail I dont know how many times, finally it came about 5:00. Started reading it, I finished it Monday morning at 3 am. I was not disappointed but am sad that there are no more HP books to look forward to.
My nieces came home with me last week. Took us 13 hours to make the drive because of bad weather but we got here safely, thank you God. The oldest had a cold but she wasnt feeling bad too long. However, Thursday night I had a jewelry party and afterward my youngest niece said she had a headache. I gave her a tylenol. Friday we went with a friend of mine and her sons to their community pool, we had been there about 2 hours when the youngest came up to me and said she didnt feel good. Then she started running a low grade temp, she had it off and on all weekend so we stayed in and let her rest. Sunday she got up at 9:15am then lay back down at 10:30, she slept until 5:00, was back in bed before 11. This morning she got up and seemed fine so we went to lunch with another friend of mine. Afterward we went to see License to Wed (hilarious movie btw) when we came out she said her head hurt, by the time we got home she had a temp of 103.5. I called her mom and we had a talk then I gave her some more meds, it took about 3 hours but the temp finally dropped to 100. I may be making a trip to the dr with her tomorrow.
Their mom is coming to get them this coming weekend. I hope we get to do something fun before they have to leave. We would like to make it to the beach. We shall see.
My younger sister is driving up for the weekend, there is a conference in Raleigh that she is wanting to see. It is nice to have her just 3 hours away even if it is only for 3 months.
Well that is all the news that is news for now.

Catching Up
This has been my last full week in IN. Tuesday I head home to NC. My nieces are going with me for about a week and a half, then Im not sure if I will be bringing them back or if my sister is coming to get them.
Wednesday the girls and I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it was very good. My only complaint was about the theater itself, it was so darn cold that my teeth chattered all the way through it. My niece curled up in her seat and slipped her arms inside her shirt. It is ridiculous that you pay that much money to watch a movie and then cant enjoy it. I complained to the theater and all I got was "we walk the theaters throughout the movies and we noticed no such conditions." That's fine, it will be the last time I support that theater.
The new HP book comes out next week and I have my order already in, I'm anxious to see how it all ends.
Wednesday night I went to the funeral home with my parents. The man who died was a friend of my dad's but his son and I were good friends and his grandson and my nephew were good friends. It isnt pleasant to have to see old friends at those kind of places but sometimes it seems our lives are so busy that that is the only time we do keep in touch.
Friday the honeymooners returned. They went to Orlando for their honeymoon. They brought back a goofy hat for my dad, which was appropriate. They spent most of Friday packing the moving truck and took off this morning for SC. My mom is having a hard time, I think she feels we are all deserting her, with me in NC and her in SC. But she still has sister #2 and my brother up here, only problem is they dont visit very often. Guess big sis needs to have a talk with them before she goes home.

The Big Event
The best man and his mom flew into Indianapolis on Thursday. The groom, went and picked them up and we spent an enjoyable afternoon just visiting and getting to know them. They fit right in to our crazy family. Friday involved a lot of running around, for everyone, flowers had to be picked up, cakes had to be picked up, the bride and maid of honor went for some pampering - they had manicures and pedicures, we even talked my mom into having a manicure. Things seemed to be going along smoothly until they started setting up the chairs and tables under the tent. I was gone when it started but by the time I was back the bride and groom were in the middle of verbal war. I went in mom and dad's and pretty soon here came my sister, the bride, she was as mad as I had ever seen her. Apparently, her beloved, had called her a not very nice name and she was ready to call things off. OY! Soon they were talking though and apparently got everything resolved because they ended up married on Saturday.
I got up at 4:30 Saturday to take a shower and do my hair because I had to take my neices, who were a bridesmaid and jr bridesmaid, to Bloomington to get their hair done. The first appt was at 6:30 and we got out of there about 9:00. They were supposed to be at mom and dad's by 9:30, we made it with 1 minute to spare. I might of broken the speed limit a couple of times. Anyway, at 10:30, most everyone was seated and the ceremony began. The guests looked a bit surprised when an old but beautiful restored Ford truck pulled up, but they soon saw that it was the arrival of the bride. My dad helped her out and walked her down the aisle. Now I had told myself I wouldn't cry but when they started saying their vows the groom had tears rolling down his face and there was just such a look of love in his eyes that everyone was soon crying with him.
After the ceremony, everyone went to eat under the tent. Those poor caterers, it was so hot and they were standing over that hot food. I didn't even get to have any of the food because I had to help do the cake and punch. The icing was starting to melt so we had to have the bride and groom leave their lunch and come cut the cake. Then their was dancing, I did enjoy that though it would have been nice to have had one slow dance. The fast dances were a lot of fun, it sure was hot though. My sister (bride) and dad danced to 'My Little Girl' by Tim McGraw. More tears.
But anyway, its all over now and they are Dr. and Mrs. D. Sobransingh. It was a beautiful wedding and God gave them a beautiful day for it.

Do I have Stupid written on my forehead?
Apparently I do and apparently it is true. I am so tired of being jerked around by men and having my emotions played with, I wish they'd do me a favor and just come out and say what they really want, then I could just tell them to go to you know where and move on. So if you are out there reading this, do me a favor and do the following:
1. Don't call me beautiful because I know Im not and it wont get you into my bed.
2. Don't ask me questions about how things are going because I dont really want to see that glazed look in your eyes when I answer you.
3. Don't make promises you have no intention of keeping because, as in number1, they won't get you into my bed.
4. If your only passing through, keep on going.

Still alive and kickin
I haven't been very good at keeping my blog up or even adding a stupid quiz since Ive been in Indiana. I have been back for two weeks now, they have flown by. I have enjoyed spending time with my family. The first weekend back was a family reunion. It was one of those bittersweet occasions. I mean, we always have fun when we get together but this year there was a shadow hanging over the occasion. My aunt, who valiantly fought colon cancer last year, just found out that the cancer is back and on her liver, she has decided not to do chemo again because she wants quality time with whats left. She says the chemo already took one year of life away from her. They are trying a new treatment though where they "plant" radiation seeds and this blocks blood from getting to the tumor and causes the cells to die. We are all praying for the miracle because we know that God is the ultimate healer but we also believe that He gives these doctors the knowledge to develop these treatments.
I haven't spent a lot of time with my parents yet because they are so busy with the wedding plans. The big wedding is this Saturday and things are becoming frenzied. Im sure my mom is going to collapse the minute is over. Believe it or not my sister is NOT a bridezilla, she is
actually being very calm and thoughtful but my mom is another story. My mom is a bit of a perfectionist.
I am supposed to take my nieces to the fireworks tonight but the forecast is for storms, so we may not get to go. The rain date is Saturday, guess I can take them then and we will all be so exhausted from the wedding that we will sleep through them...lol.
Well, I will add more after the wedding and let everyone know how it goes. I know you are all waiting with abated breath....
