"My Silence Is My Self Defense"
SSSSSAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD DDDDAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't cried yet though... and I won't gosh darn it! Don't get me wrong... I've come pretty darn close a few times in the last 36 hours or so... but I've stayed relatively strong! :-D
So yesterday was a pretty good day if i do say so myself. After I wrote my nice blog entry I was gonna do something productive BUT... i took a nap instead! I slept for atleast a good 3 hours or so then got up and took a shower and got ready. Made a nice little trip to Target to get Billy the Bowling for Soup CD he'd been wanting... then it was off to his house for the last time atleast for 4 or 5 days (which is a long time considering I've been there atleast every other day for the past month! lol). I got there just in time for the "WILD PARTY" right Billy?!? Anywho... his papaw was leaving just as I got there... it was definitely hard to watch them say goodbye to each other but we had a nice little prayer in his front yard which I think was good for all of us!
Then Me, Mikel, Craig, Billy, Gina, Steph, and his parents went inside and sat around and chatted for a bit. Lauren Rams came by... very good to see her! Then we watched the boys clean out Billy's jeep (that was def an adventure). Then Lauren and Craig left and it was off to take the Jeep to Gina's. We had a nice "bumpin'" ride there. I was priveledged enough to be the last person to ride in the passenger seat of Billy's Jeep (that is if they sell if before he comes back). Then Billy said bye to his Aunt Gina (Mikel and I retreated to the jeep for that... it was def a little emotional on her part).
Back to the Mynatt residence we went. Not after being challenged by the pride of Powell in a mini van going down Clinton Hwy. Yah... people are gay!
Anywho...
So we had a nice adventure in Billy's room for a little while. His mom is going to be so rich when she gets done cleaning that room... I'm jealous! haha Then Jamie stopped by and we all had fun watching Billy try on his combat boots and low quarters. (That was the moment for me when it really started to kick in that he was actually leaving.. :-( ).
Then I helped him pack up some stuff while his phone rang off the hook with people calling him to say goodbye and everything...
We took some pictures...
Burned some CDs (all of which I am extremely excited about... especially "a random sampling of Billy's musical tastes" lol). Then we just sat around and enjoyed each others company. (He wore his glasses too how cute is that?!? Too bad I didn't get a picture of THAT Billy!) Doing what we do best... talking about the most random things and dancing to no music! *dont cry tiffany... dont cry!*
MOVING ON...
So I was there for quite a while (AGAIN... thank Heaven for POWER NAPS!) He left with his family about 6 this morning I guess... if they were on schedule that's when they left atleast. So I came home and took my nap and then got up to get ready for work. Got to work about 9:30 then worked till about 3. Chad came by looking for some shirts for work so I had a nice chat with him and we made a fun trip to Profitt's and found really cheap little boy's shirts that fit him! lol Then it was off to the doctor.
I have these sun bump things on my arms (i know you all wante to know that...) but the doctor said they don't look like anything to threatening and just to stay out of direct sunlight for a little while and they should clear up. If they don't... then I should maybe worry about it a ltittle more. He also gave me some more good news but I won't go into that on my plublically accessible blog!
While I was waiting of the doctor I found out that Billy was almost to Hershey, PA so that was exciting! They ended up going to a Chocolate World Tour! (how fun is that?!?) and a 3D show! I was this *holds up fingers close together* close to stowing away in the back of his moms car and going with them... now I officially wish I had!
^^^ That's a cupcake!! YUM!
So then I came home and I had a SUPER bad headache!! (which I haven't had in a long time... a good thing considering I used to get them practically every night while i was at school). So I skipped out on running (which would have been another sad event in itself... :-( ) and tried to take a nap.
I was woken up the first time... sadly... by Kayla who called to inform me that a girl we work with (SUPER SWEET... one of the collectors but sister in law of one of the photographers... fixin to be a junior at Temple... really pretty... ) died in a car accident this morning on Central Avenue right around that big curve before you get to Beaver Creek. I'm not exactly sure of all the details yet but it was really really really weird to hear considering I just worked with her on Monday at Powell! For those of you who were there... it was the girl sitting beside me at the table who was doing most of the dressing and stuff. Anyway... she was an awesome person who had a really good head on her shoulders so she's up in heaven celebrating right now but please keep her family, friends, and other co-workers in your thoughts and prayers... I'm sure they could use it.
Then I attempted to go back to sleep (with the company of Chanticlear ;-) ) for a little while but I was rudely interrupted by THE BEST PHONE CALL OF THE NIGHT!! lol So Mr. Mynatt and I had a nice little chat about his drive up to New York and all the stops along the way. From what I can tell he seems to be enjoying himself and his family time so I am very excited for him. I'm gonna miss him... don't get me wrong... but I'm really happy for him at the same time!
Anyway... so I came downstairs after our chat and what was in the kitchen?!? CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! O I was sooo happy! And it was pretty much still warm from being cooked a few hours earlier. I was in heaven! then I talked to Chad about his "just the guys" Bible Study and other random stuff...
Chadman18e: you talk about happy guys
Chadman18e: we were seriously giddy
Chadman18e: we had pizza then we shot guns
^^ that really struck me funny at the time!
So as I sit here with my empty plate and continuously pounding headache I am reminded of how much i enjoy my slumber so I believe that is what I'm going to go do right now.
HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE! ;-)
And So It Goes
-Billy Joel-
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
_________________________________________________________
Thank you sooo much for being the wonderful friend you have been the past couple months!! I'm so glad we've become this close and to be honest, I'm going to miss you way more than I ever thought I would!! I hope your life takes you where ever you want it to go... Just as long as it brings you back to me eventually so all of our wedding and home design dreams can become reality! :-D We'll see who wins the bet!... And I have a plan, so you better watch out and learn how to do cartwheels down hill! ;-) You have my love and extreme admiration... be good... "Train to Fight. Fight to Win."
