QVC

My moms favorite thing in the world was shopping on QVC. I remember waking up for school every morning and she had it on the little TV in her bedroom. She was watching to see what the deal of the day was and sometimes ordering right there. I have no idea why she loved it so much but she did. We argued about it sometimes because I would yell at her that she was running the credit card bill up because of her constant buying but looking back it doesn't matter, it made her happy. Right before she died I told her that I would watch it with her after she was gone. I asked her what day was the best day to watch it and she told me Saturday morning. For a year or so I got up on Saturday morning and watched it. I turned on the TV today and saw that Denim & Co was on so I thought I would watch it and I can kind of feel her here with me. I even logged on to her QVC account and saw that she returned a bracelet in December 2006 but I couldn't see any of her other orders.

I miss her so much today.

It's been a little while...

It's been almost a month since I've last posted and I've just been a little busy with life. So for a little update I have been working again. I am a substitute teacher in the local schools so they keep me busy coming in pretty much every day. I took today off so I could just catch up with life and have a little break from screaming grumpy children. This is mainly what's been keeping me busy and honestly sometimes it's a little hard for me to write in the blog because it brings up a lot of emotions. I would like to post something today though,

Although it isn't #TBT (throw back Thursday) I was going through old pictures and MYSPACE (old right?) today and it had me reminiscing about high school. For one good lord was I skinny, like thigh gap and all. I also just saw all these pictures with all my high school friends and it makes me extremely sad that I don't stay in touch with any of them anymore. I mean these people use to be my best friends who I trusted with all my secrets and my life and now it's just gone. Kelley, Jeanette and I use to have the absolute best times together, we were inseparable. Every weekend we were together, all day at school and most of the time after school during the week as well. Our summers were spent together, Christmas and Spring breaks, we were attached at the hip. It all just seems like a faded memory at this point. All of this began to happen when I went off to college, Kelley and Jeanette stayed in the Cleveland area and I went down to Athens. We stayed close my freshmen and sophomore year and then I'm not really sure what happened after that. I guess I just started coming home less and less and it was hard to keep up with long distance friendships.  I think it's time to reconnect because I don't want those memories to go away.
