My grandmother was taken into the O.R. at about 8:30 ish or so. She got out of surgery at about 11 this morning. Everything went great. My sister and I went up and saw her after school today (with two stops on the way to drop off homework to my "brother" and stopping at Chick-Fil-A and ended up seeing my ex there and talking with him). We drove up to Marlton by ourselves, and did perfectly fine. She is in some pain, but she only used the Morphine Pump about four times that my mom knows of. Four times since about 11 this morning. That's my grandmother for ya! lol
They hooked her leg up to this machine that would bend at the angle they set it to and it would bend and flex her leg for her. They had her on the machine for about 3 hours or so. And she actually had her first round of P.T. today as well. They didn't think she was going to until tomorrow, but since she got back to her room before 2, the physical therapists gave her a visit. They even had her up and walking around and putting weight on it. She did complain that it hurt alot. But after all that she has been through, I would be surprised if it didn't.
So that's the update on my grandmom. And now I'm exhausted and will probably go to bed soon. It has been a LONG day.
Please continue to keep my grandmom in your prayers!

DIG 27
Finally doing another DIG....Wow...I've gotten WAYY behind on these....lol Ok, here's at it. lol
1) My dad taught me how to drive stick shift today!!! I still need LOTS of practice at it, but at least now I kinda know how to drive a stick lol
2) We started to clean up the house a little bit. Like, all three of us pitched in. Totally different than what I'm used to at Mom's house....
3) I got some good 1-on-1 time with my dad. That doesn't get to happen very often when we're out there, but between driving with him and the time we were spending together while watching the Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family tonight, we actually got that time together :)
4) I got to drive today :D lol yes, I know that I said above that I learned to drive stick....BUT, I haven't driven in exactly 3 weeks. So, I'm soooo glad I got to drive again today!!!
5) This one is good and sad at the same time....I saw pictures of my gorgeous little girls today....
Nathalia Rose....
And her little sister Adelyn Noelle. (ignore my mom please in the above picture LOL couldn't find a picture of just her haha)
Well, seeing the pics from Nat at the beach with her mom and stepdad and then seeing the picture of Adelyn sleeping on Jeremy's chest made me soooo happy cuz I love those girls sooooo much. But at the same time, seeing them also made me so sad. Cuz I miss them just as much as I love them. Like, I was watching this commercial on TV about toddlers and how they need good food to energize them. Well, that had me thinking about how Nat will just go outside and run around with my dogs and then when she gets tired, she'll crawl up on my lap and watch Noggin (So glad we have OnDemand LOL). Which made me miss her like crazy. And then I thought about her sister. And how adorable she is and how she already would look up at me and smile. Or, it looked like a smile to me haha. Tomorrow she will be 5 weeks old. And she is just so too cute.
Gah....I'm making myself miss my two girls even more!!!! I'm gonna stop before I cry! haha
Hope your day was good! :)

Hmmm
Just got home from learning how to drive stick shift.......
It was........
interesting........
Yea, that's the word I want to use.
My dad had me start the car without actually turning on the engine. Like, going downhill on this one part with the electrical stuff on and with the car in second and then taking my foot off the clutch. Scared the crap outta me. lol He purposely had me stall a few times. And there were a few times when I stalled completely by accident lol Like, when he wanted me to do a U turn and I accidently stepped on the gas instead of the brake & clutch. So, I stepped on the brake like I would in an automatic. Yea, I learned the hard way that you have to step on the clutch when you do that too. lol
He said that I had the basics down tho, and that I wasn't a bad driver. Now I just gotta practice alot before my birthday. Cuz I am so driving my car to robotics that night :)
I am SO glad I know many people who have stick shifts and would gladly help me practice :)

So excited :)
Today, Dad is taking me to drive his stick shift. I need to learn, because the car I'm getting is a stick shift. :) But after we get done cleaning around the house, we're gonna go find a parking lot for me to practice in. Even tho it's technically illegal for me to drive out here....haha. Oh well. :)
Oh, and once I get a good picture of my car, I'll put it up here. It's awesome. :) It's a black Mazda RX7, 1983, 2 seater. My grandfather here in California is giving it to me as my birthday present. He is gonna drive it out to Jersey for me and everything. He is having the paint redone and everything too.
I love being the oldest grandchild. And that I said that I wanted it. :)

Day 21
My day today was great. It really was. So, here is my DIG for day 21 :)
1) The refrigerator got cleaned!!!! :) that is HUGE. lol
2)
I got to spend time with my Little Bean....We walked from my house (where the baby shower for her soon-to-be baby sister Adelyn was) to my grandparents and back. It was fun walking with her, even tho I did carry her for part of the walk...BOTH ways. LOL
3) I got to see both of my besties: Rachael Lynne and Cassandra Marie. :) Ok, both of them don't have two first names. The second name for both of them are their middle names. But, I love their middle names, so I had to put them :) I got to hang out with both of them at the Pennsville Midget Football fair tonight
4)
Collin picked me up and took me to the fair tonight. I paid for the tickets, but it didn't matter. I got to spend time with the person who means the most to me. AND in the picture above, he's actually smiling!!!! :) That is HUGE. I love it when he smiles <33
5) Poppop and I went driving today. It wasn't for long, but it was still driving, and it was tons of fun <3

Late post! lol
Last night I was so tired that once I got home from Rae's party, I crawled upstairs to bed and didn't want to get out. lol So, here is the scoop on what happened at the two parties I was at.
Nathalia's 4th birthday party: I went over to the house pretty early to help get things ready, like grabbing things from my grandparents' house so Jeremy could start the grill, decorating the living room after Lexi (Jeremy's 7 year old cousin) and Nattie did, etc. lol People started showing up at around 12:45 even tho the party started at 12. LOL Once everybody came, then we ate burgers and hot dogs. Nattie opened her presents and we were taking tons of pics. On Miss Feather's camera. LOL So, I don't have any pics. :( lol But, so after presents were done, it was time for....CAKE!!! :) Marble cake with Disney Princesses and My Little Pony decorations. After that was done, we all sat around talking. The only people under the age of 18 were me, Shannon, Lexi, and Nattie. So, there were a few adults that were related to Heather and Jeremy there. And that's all I can think of that happened with that party...lol
Rachel's birthday party: Her party started at 7. I can't remember exactly how old Rae turned, but oh well. lol We played Rock Band, ate pizza and cupcakes, threw candy at eachother, and just had a fun time. At first it was kinda awkward cuz I only knew 4 people: Shannon, Christian, Ally, and Rachel. Oh, and I kinda knew Rachel's twin sister, Becky, and their friend Lauren. But that's about it. Of course, a few times Ally and I felt so awkward being there that we wanted to walk to the end of the street to Collin's house.....LOL But, we didn't. And anyway, they weren't there when we were going to, and then Tonya had to put little Ally to bed. lol I wanna say I finally got home at around 11:30.....lol It was pretty fun, once we all got over the fact that we didn't know anybody. lol
Oh, and yesterday morning my Poppop picked me up at about 8:50. I drove to the bank, pulled into the drivethru there (harder than it looks for me lol) and then was off to the church. We went the long way to get me used to driving. lol Once we left the church, we went to the cleaners. After that, I got to drive where ever I wanted to. So, I went to drive through Pennsville. There was a detour cuz they were messing with electrical wires in one area, but once we got past that, I drove the rest of the way through Pennsville. Then on towards Salem. Then right through Salem. I was tempted to go through Hancock's Bridge, but we were starting to get pressed for time since it takes about half an hour to get home from there and we were getting close to 11:30. I had to be home in time for the party, so then I started driving home. Once I got to my Poppop's house, we had to get the mail. First time I ever had to park inbetween two cars. The one truck belonged to my old computers teacher and the other, I dunno who it belonged to. LOL Ms. Alber said that I did a good parking job....I didn't hit either car, and I was straight too. :) And when I pulled back into the parking lot at Mimi and Poppop's house, it was straight too!! :)
So, that was my day yesterday. lol I was gonna do the DIG too, but I've decided not to since I gotta go get ready for church. LOL I'll post my DIG tonight! :)

DIG number 13
Lucky number 13!!! :) lol Sorry, I have LOTS of energy, and can't wait til tomorrow :)
1) I got my eyebrows redone today!!! :)
2) I got Rita's for the first time in the 2009 year! :) Chocolate water ice. Can't beat that. lol
3) Again, Shark Bait's Question of the Day got me thinking. Similar to yesterday's, but instead of just being sleep overs in general, it was sleep away camps, church/scouting activites, school/sporting activities. Again, I said yes, they are good things and I explained why. I guess I'm more into them and think they are good cuz I've been 1) sleeping over at people's houses since I was born practically (family at first, friends as of 5) and 2) I've been part of scouts and church things since I was in 2nd grade and we went on camping trips all the time. My parents wanted (and still want) me to experience all types of things of that nature since I was little. So, I guess that plays a huge part in it.
4) My Little Bean turned 4 today!!! :) That little girl is my rock, and if it wasn't for her bratty, rotten, spoiled little self, I would not be the person I am today.
5) I got a 95 on my pre-calc quiz I took on Wendsday after school. I found out today during class what my grade was. I'm sooo happy.
Tomorrow is going to be fun....My grandfather is picking me up tomorrow morning when I'm ready to be picked up, I'm driving us to the second church (the one with the office in it), he's going to do some work there, and then we're going to drive around Salem County so I can get some more practice in. Since I got my permit, I've driven everyday, until this week. This week has been kinda crazy since my eye got hurt. So, I was kinda rusty tonight when I drove tonight. So, Poppop and I are going driving tomorrow. He is all ready for it, and so am I. Hopefully I can learn some back roads during this excersion tomorrow. LOL :)
I'm off to bed so I can be up early tomorrow. He is an early riser, so I don't want to keep him waiting in the morning. :) Night everybody!! <3

Thursday fun?
What can I say about today?
Collin picked me up for school today. Can I just say that I love him driving?? Haha I can't wait until his car is done now and when he learns how to drive stick. It will make me sooo happy. Like, for once I wasn't bouncing up and down every few seconds, and the ride didn't take 25 minutes. God, gotta love that.
School was kinda boring. Tomorrow we are gonna start disecting the pig fetuses in bio. Tho, I'm skipping that. Not skipping the class, but I am going to the library to work on the same stuff they are pretty much, but I'm not cutting into the pig, nor am I sitting in the room watching. Thank God. lol
After school was done, Collin and I came back to my house for alil bit after getting gas. Thank god I had the $20 in my purse still and I hadn't deposited it into my bank account yet. Of course, that means $20 less that I have for my prom dress, but oh well. I'll get the money some other way.
We went to school at like, 3:30 again to go to the DuPont play-off match and then finals. We ended up losing the play off to Woodstown. VoTech beat us too. 12-17-22 or something like that. Woodstown then lost to Shalick. Poo on Shalick!! LOL
Once we got back to the school at around 7:30 ish, we drove to robotics. I found out on the way back to PGHS that my aunt is in the E.R. in Salem cuz she is dehydrated thanks to having a stomach virus for 3 days. =[ Poor Aunt Potsy!
Kinda worked on a few things at robotics. At around 8:50 ish, Collin gave me a ride home since my mom and grandfather went to Salem to pick Shannon up from working (yes, she actually worked today!!) and to see my aunt.
And now I'm exhausted. Something is up with my sleeping time or something, cuz no matter when I go to bed, I wake up multiple times in the middle of the night. And it'll take me a while to fall back asleep. So, I'm only running off of about 5 hours of sleep each night or so. I actually passed out on the way back to PGHS from Pittsgrove Middle School. Collin was really sweet too cuz everytime I'd wake up to see where we were, he would just tell me to fall back asleep cuz we weren't even close. He also kept telling me that he'd wake me up when we were getting really close. So, I did get some sleep in. Not much, but some.

Hooray!
YAY!!! I love it when my mom does this...She grounds me for a week or two, but then a few days later, she lets me off of it pretty much! =] Tonya and Denise, don't remind her please!!!!!!!
So, Friday was ok I guess. Collin got his stitches removed. Oh, I got back my English paper on the trial from To Kill A Mockingbird.....I got a 99 on it!!! =] I'm sooo happy! lol Other than that, nothing really happened.
Today was ok I guess. During robotics Collin and I did electrical stuff. Afterwards, he drove me home and we were talking with my mom for alil while and just hanging out. Then my mom asked me and Collin to go to the Acme to get some stuff for dinner tonight since she can't drive. Poor Mom. She had an injection. =[ But so we went to Acme and got the stuff. Oh, and he asked my mom if I can go over on Monday. Like, if maybe we could go to the mall or something in Deptford...Her answer was "ask me tomorrow. Chances are yes" =] I'm soooo happy!!! lol
So, this weekend has been kinda boring. lol So far anyway. lol But fun at the same time haha. I'll try to post something tomorrow maybe if I'm allowed on. =]
