Email: bluestarliz@hotmail.com Website: http:// Everything was going fine until I come home and see that my boyfriend, whom I have been praising for the past 48 hours strait, has not emailed nor called me. Sadness. What is worse is I see he HAS had the ability and time to go on the internet and type, just not to me. It doesn't seem to me that he has had ample time on his hands. i'm gonna be tacky for a moment, and comment "you mean, there are boyfriend that actually write emails???" so i'm afraid i'm on the verge of losing my mind. my mom's boyfriend called this evening to tell us the highways are all black ice around lubbock. a glance at the weather station confirms this, and my mom is seriously considering staying another day. me and my sister shoot each other panicked glances...emily hoover (my sister's best friend) is in town for a week (she arrived on friday and didn't see urch) and i would really appreciate getting to spend at least a little more time with kenny before he goes to chicago and i don't see him for half a year or so. besides, i'm so increadibly bored that chasing down that skunk that has been making my showers unpleasent and killing it with my bare hands is beginning to sound like a quality way to spend an afternoon. seriously, i'm so increadibly bored. the tv is on constantly, making reading next to impossible (not to say i havent', i read an entire cosmo and "maus II" today). i am a cross-stitching fiend...no this isn't a hobby i usually do, i don't have the time nor patience to cross-stitch, but these are desparate times. and i am dying to talk to someone who is not related to me. anyone...i got on aim and almost no one was on...grr...i appologize for bitching, but my family really is driving me crazy. like my grandmother keeps on telling stories about getting mad at min wage employees...which is really irritating, since i realize my own grandmother is the sort of person who makes people like me miserable at work. don't yell at the person stocking lays potato chips that they don't make your favorite flavor anymore...it's not his fault! and the walmart cashiers are doing their damndest to keep the lines short...argh. and the tv...sorry for bitching, but i am really miserable and hope to god we don't stay another day. i go read XE and try not to think about it now. joe, i will email you and tell you if you need to feed the cats again. having the worst christmas of my life this far, liz
