jeopardy

I can hear Jeopardy through the wall.. and it made me think about someone who loved (loves) it and that is grandpa. It was like the biggest thing to happen, if we were watching Shirley Temple or something, we had to turn it off because he had to watch it.


Lately I've been thinking a lot about grandpa, and since it's been almost 2 years since he passed away, I thought I would feel differently, but I still really miss him. I keep seeing or hearing about things that would interest him and still think that when I go over there he will be there sitting in the chair complaining about being cold, wearing his little mocassins.


It's funny how many things remind you of someone who is gone. Everytime I look at the stars I think of him, and it also reminds me of the time he called me and told me to come over and look at the bats that lived in the roof, lol. There are so many little things that just make me smile.


But.. I think what is really getting to me is that he won't be there when I graduate, but in a way I'm sure he will be there. There are so many things that I wish he could be here for, and he was there for so much for me. He always came to my Christmas band concerts, even when I was in 6th grade and he had to listen to a horrible rendition of Jingle Bells.. lol..


I just feel like he shouldn't be forgotten, and I want to keep the memories of him in my mind so I don't forget them, although I never will. This is my favorite picture of him, from the Childrens Museum. Feel free to add your memories if you would like.

seriously?

I know I have better things to do than blog but I couldn't help myself on this one. I was at work last night, surfing the web as usual, when I ran across this headline: Sought: Wal-Mart shoppers who trampled NY worker



Is it really worth someone dying to get a good deal on Black Friday? I do NOT think so. It even says in the article that people were very upset that they had to leave because someone died. SERIOUSLY people, you are forgetting the true meaning of Christmas! I was so shocked by this and upset. I just don't know why people are the way they are anymore..



Anyway.. check out the article if you want.



I also wanted to share at least one of the pictures from Thanksgiving at my grandmas, we took many and some of them were way too embarassing, but here is one of the good ones :) It's good of me anyway lol.. not sure what my cousin is doing but.. yeah.
