I don't have any interwebs at my house until the 28th but if you're friends with jaybo then you've probably been keeping up a little.
We bought the house, we've moved of sorts. We're still replacing the floors, painting, refinishing the cabinets, tiling the bathroom floor, installing a dishwasher into a kitchen without one, adding backsplash, updating fixtures etc. it's going to take at least a few more weekends. Luckily jays stepfather had been helping endlessly but I'm looking forward to just living in the house instead if working on it.
Were staying home this Christmas instead of going 1.5 hours away to see jays family. I think we will gave hit cocoa, see a movie then were having friendsmas dinner with our friends/old roommates. I see some cards against humanity holiday edition in our future.
It should be nice.
Ever hear a song that just sends you into tears while driving down the freeway looking like a fool?
Stars by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals did that to me today. It usually happens this way around the holidays that eventually something reminds me how much I miss my father and how often I try to not acknowledge it. I think that all of the great things that have happened this year (marriage, buying a house) has made me feel the absence of my dad. He should have been here for all if it. He should still be alive.
Don't murder people, k folks? It's bad for everyone.
Happy holidays

I'm stressed like crazy but tomorrow that all goes away. I'll be on a cruise until Friday.
I've been working mad hours and stressing getting the last bits of paperwork into underwriting for our house loan. But it IS official - Jason and I will be closing on our house on Dec. 7th. It's a very small two bedroom - small enough that I'm making the second bedroom into my walk in closet. But is has a super cute porch and a spacious backyard. I see many bbqs in our future. It's also like less than half a mile from all the cool stuff downtown, has a diner just around the corner and is in the historical district.
Anyhow - I just finished packing and getting all our documents in order for our trip and calling all our credit card and debit card companies to inform them we will be out of town/country.
Ive been getting these terrible pains in my head... not like a headache but brief intense pains. Ugh.
I do have pictures to share but I'm tired and I'll have even more after the cruise. I believe there is a photodump in our future.
Oh and have you met my friend NorCalCJ? No really, he's the bomb. We've been friends for about 4 years now and he just recently joined SG. You can see Jaybo and CJ dressed up for Halloween in his profile picture.
That's all folks.

My rat has a benign tumor...
I'm not sure the exact costs yet but it will be at least $300-$500.
I'm torn on what to do. The surgery has risks and she may still get more tumors.
Currently I think my options are:
-Surgery
-No surgery and allowing her to live for as long as she has a comfortable life
-Trying to find someone/ a shelter to take her
This sucks.

I stopped writing poems years ago
I said it was because I don’t know how to write when I’m happy
But just today I realized
The sadness never left me
Its like a disability
You just learn how to cope

Jason and I are debt free bitches!
No more credit cards and no more car payments.
*party dance*
Buuuut....buying a house is a process. I'm impatient.
I also really need to get back on track with school. It makes me just sick thinking about it though.
It's like, I REALLY want to do it and finish but it's kind of like that friend you've been meaning to get in touch with. You still love them, think about them and want to reach out - but you didn't and now it just seems weird and you avoid it even though there's nothing you'd want more.

In other news.... I got the shit fucked out of me last night. Hard. 
I also saw Zara recently, man she is cute. She bought me some yummy Himalayan food and we sat in a park and talked for a few hours. She might be moving closer *fingers crossed*
Well, that's it for now.
My vacation time is coming to a close. Vacation didn't quite go as planned.
There have been some hiccups in the house buying process. Just some delays and I'm inpatient.
I spent a couple days dealing unexpectedly with some family problems. One of my brothers is a paranoid schizophrenic and is having some real difficulties. It would be too exhausting and emotional for me to write it all out but the situation is a lot worse then I expected.
The short version would include :
Him being evicted.
Him being arrested.
Police thinking my sister and her family we're in danger or already hurt by my brother (they're fine).
Police thinking my brother was involved in drug dealings (he's not).
My brother abandoning all of his apartment and we assume going to North Carolina.
Me and Jay having to suddenly clean out my brothers apartment that's 3 hours away from where we live.
Me being a fucking mess at seeing how my brother was living and the obvious decline in his mental state (hes writing crazy stuff in journals, carving the walls, punching holes in the walls, living in fucking filth when hes normally a clean freak/ mysophobe etc.).
I've also been dealing with some friendship drama llama bullshit. I mean, childish shit. High school drama crap.
I may need to make a few new friendships and put some time and energy into other friendships.
I also had to make another day trip to get a certified copy of my birth certificate so I can start applying for my passport. I didn't really have enough time to do it by mail so I had to drive 3 hours each way again.
Our apartment is still a mess.
Cleaning it was on the to-do list but shit happens.
We did acquire essentially brand new couches, flat screen, xbox, camera, ipod etc from clearing out my brothers apartment. That's the good part I guess. I also have like 150 DVDs I now need to sell.
I've been having some bad dreams too. Real bad.
Wow I'm a downer.
Not everything has been bad. I spent a lot of good time with my new husband. I got to see my girlfriend. I got a new gym membership and got to buy a few things I needed.
I will leave you with pictures of me and my girlyfriend.
