It's hard to believe December is here already..
sheesh.. Anyhow the last week has been a complete mess. Things have been
happening *soo* fast I don't even know where to start. Last Monday, November
23rd, Chris was supposed to be in town. He didn't show up until Tuesday the
24th though. Apparently shortly after Chris got into town, he found out that
Kasie had been lying about her age, and he said he talked to the coroner and the
coroner said there was no such baby. He was furious, obviously. I don't know
the whole story, so to whomever may be reading this that gets mad, lemme alone.
=) Anyhow, it wasn't quite as simple as all that, obviously but that was like a
week ago and seems like a year ago! :) So much has been going on. I've decided
this is too much of a soap opera for me =)
Anyhow, Chris found this
out, and Kasie then admitted to lying about her age, but swears she didn't lie
about the baby. Though in my own opinion I can't imagine the coroner would lie,
but uhm.. Yeah. So Chris' family wasn't too happy I believe, though.. we didn't
really talk much so I wouldn't know. Chris was visiting me at first, and then
continued to drink as normal, going out at night. He got into a fight with Dan
Ward one night, and then apparently started sleeping with Stacey Warinke.
Stacey.
That's kind of another story in itself. As for why Chris started to suddenly
sleep with her yet again, who knows. He slept with her before him and I got
together, and I'm sure a few times during the time we were together. Anyhow..
Stacey has quite a reputation. Not saying I have the best reputation ever, but
I think her's most likely outdoes mine by quite a bit. Too many of my
ex-boyfriend's have slept with her, and I know of quite a few other people have
have as well. Rumor also has it she has an infatuation with pickles *cough* and
admits to it as well. Anyhow, Chris' choice in a sleeping partner (in my
opinion) was not the best, but hey ;)
So I barely talked to him for a
couple of days, and then boom. Yesterday he gets online to tell me that he
married her yesterday. I of course, didn't believe him, because he's given me
stupid stories like that before. He even told me that he'd have married me
except he knew I would say no, and that he still loves me. *Sigh* Same old
shit. Anyhow, then I talked to Chris' mom, and she confirmed to me that he was
indeed married, that him and Stacey had just decided to suddenly get married
yesterday, Monday, November 30th, 1998. I was in shock. Obviously.
So
now I'm wondering "What on earth was going through Chris' mind when he did
this?" Well, who knows. He isn't speaking to me anymore about it. As far
as I know he left Helena to head back to California today. This morning.. tons
of phone calls. Everyone had already heard, and most people were pretty
disgusted. I don't nkow what to think. The whole thing is too fucked up! :P
Overall my reaction is somewhere between laughing, and feeling sorry for him,
because I know he made a mistake, at least that's my gut feeling. But.. I
honestly do wish him happiness, and I surely hope he knows what he's doing.
We'll see I guess in time. =)
Wednesday, 12-2-98
Not much of interest has been going on today.. It's
been a slow day. I gotta work on my stained glass stuff and go to class
tonight. Mike might be showing up today, I don't know. I guess it won't matter
becuase I have stuff I have to do tonight, so. I guess Chris did head back to
California. I don't know when I'll hear from him. I thought him and I were
friends, I don't know what to make of it. It's not like I don't want to be
friends with him just because he got married. :p That's the stupidest thing
I've heard. =) Other than that I just talked to Erin and whatever, and haven't
done much since. =)
Thursday, 12-3-98
Today was alright, kind of boring.. didn't feel good
when I woke up at 6 am so I went back to sleep and didn't wake up until like 1!
Long time to sleep for ;P Oh well. By then mom was home, since she hurt her
back and couldn't stay in Great Falls for the week, and was on her way to her
doctors appointment. I guess Shawn disappeared until tomorrow to Billings for
the Shania Twain concert.. Ron called today, which was cool, got his address so
I could send him a Christmas card. Been working on those today. Mom and I went
to K-Mart to get her prescription and to the post office to get stamps. So I
can actually send cards now =) Though, I'm gonig to have to pay her for the
stamps when I get money, since I usually buy my own for Christmas, since I use
so damn many of them. :) I guess Mike isn't coming in town, or didn't, or
whatever, since I have no heard from him. Chris called me last night and he
called today but I didn't really get to talk to him since we kept getting long
distance phone calls. I guess Linda and Vern are going to be by tomorrow,
haven't seen Vern in awhile, or Linda since the wedding. I don't know, not much
else to write, since I have an extremely boring life. =)
Friday, 12-4-98
I think it's just about my bedtime, I'm getting pretty
tired. Mom and I cleaned house today, since Vern and Linda will be in town
tonight sometime. We also had to run to Kmart, and stopped to get something to
eat as well.. which was cool. Not a whole lot else happened. Shawn got back
from the Shania concert and then took off for the night again. I guess he's
going to get a tree tomorrow.. I dunno. He's never around much these days.
Haven't really talked to anyone.. the phone calls are slowing down. I swear
everyone felt they had to call me to tell me about Chris and Stacey *Shakes
head* But I guess they all know by now that I know and don't have much of
interest to say about it. I keep telling them, more or less, that it really
isn't any of my business, and that I hope Chris and Stacey are happy. I'm still
amazed by the whole thing, but I honestly do wish nothing but happiness for
Chris. I know this hasn't been an easy year for him, and besides that, I care
about him a lot. :)
Mom thinks that Chris' and mine friendship might
end.. I know what she's saying, because it's public knowledge that Stacey
doens't like me very much. And I doubt she'll want Chris and I to be friends,
but I should hope that she wouldn't make an issue about that. I guess only time
will tell. I keep hearing all these rumors that Stacey thinks I'm trying to get
into the middle of her and Chris, and that I'm trying to break them up.. I don't
know where she's getting that idea from, considering I'm doing nothing of the
sort. I don't *want* to be with Chris, so he's naturally entitled to be with
whomever he pleases. I don't try to decide things for him. :) Anyhow, maybe
they're just rumors. Everyone around here knows that there's enough of those...
Well, I'm getting way tired, and I have to go into the glass shop tomorrow, so
I guess I best get some sleep.
Sunday, 12-6-98
Life is strange. Vern and Linda never came to visit.
But Mike showed up last night. I was mad, because he didn't give me any
warning, and I made him leave. Told him to call me today and we'd talk. Which
he did. Which we did. I don't know how it went.. the whole thing is hard to
explain, and it's probably best I don't exlpain here. Anyhow it was a very long
day. Other than that not a whole heck of a lot is new, as usual. We put the
Christmas tree up tonight, but it's not decorated yet. That'll be tomorrow I
guess. Fun stuff. :)
Friday, 12-11-98
Things have been going alright. Today was an
exhausting day though. Wednesday, the 9th I had stained glass class, which, I
actually went to for once. :) Thursday I literally slept all day and mom and I
got into an argument =/ We ended up staying up most of the night working on my
stained glass stuff so I could go back in today. Mom woke me up early today,
and I felt like complete shit, since I'd hardly had any sleep. We went to the
DMV place to renew my permit.. someday I'll get my license.. and to get my
picture taken for an ID card. I should get that in about 4 weeks.. ;p And then
we went to the "Whistle Stop" or whatever to get something to eat.
After that we went to the stained glass store, and I put hooks on my crosses
that I'm making for Gram and for Grandma, and we bought polish and Mom payed off
all of the other stuff I'd gotten so far. Then we left there, and headed home,
since Shawn had a delivery coming from UPS and wanted us to be there. We sat
around for about an hour.. it was about 3 now, and then we left and we went to
Wal-Mart to look around for maternity clothes. They don't have any. Hrm. So
we ended up looking around and laughing our asses off buying all kinds of stuff,
such as wrapping paper and ribbons and bows and tags.. Stuff we already have at
home, and didn't need, but oh well it was fun. Then we ended up stopping by the
mall.. Not one store there carries maternity clothes either. *Shakes head* We
stopped in Leslie's and ended up buying *more* bows for Christmas presents,
don't ask me why. Especially since we're not really having Christmas this year,
so there are no presents to wrap and to put bows on *laugh* We left the mall
and Mom decided that maybe we could go to the fabric store to find maternity
patterns, which we did. By then we were both exhausted and laughing. People
were giving us really weird looks. By the time we found the patterns and
materials we wanted, my mom said "Why don't we just go to K-Mart?"
K-Mart is the one store that sells maternity clothes around here. So we were
laughing, and leaving, and ended up getting nothing when I suddenly remembered
that the reason we left after UPS came by was to get dog food. It was about 10
minutes to 6 by then, and we were fairly sure that the vet closed at 6. So we
hurried there, and barely made it there, only they were closed. They close at
5:30 on Friday's apparently. Well, they were nice enough to let us in and let
us get dog food anyway, and then we went home. Exhausted. I laid down on the
couch and must have fallen asleep, until about 10:30. Long day.
I'm
just about done with all my stained glass stuff.. I'm almost done with the
highway patrol officer's project, though, I should call him and make sure he
still wants it! And my cross for Gram is finished, and Grandma's is nearly
finished. I got Ann's done not long ago, and apparently she's happy with it.
Tomorrow
is Erin's baby shower. I really hope I can make it, though I'm not sure where
it's at exactly and I'm still dead tired, and I hope to be able to be up for it
in time. I had forgotten about it, being busy with stained glass and all of
that.. *sigh* I just remembered today. Damnit. Oh well, it's at 2:30 tomorrow
I think.. she said we could show up late.. so :p We'll see.
Chris is
doing alright, and I'm glad to say we're still friends. I was worried that
somehow we wouldn't be, since I know Stacey dislikes me. I keep hearing that
she thinks I'm trying to break them up.. Which I am not. Oh well. Shasta and
Jennifer stopped by on Monday and it was great seeing Jennifer. :) It'd been
awhile. They were both parinoid about me 'hurting' myself. I swear. We walked
to the store and they kept warning me about ice and cars, when I wasn't near
either of them *laugh* It was cute, and annoying. ;) Oh well. And Jennifer
thinks my stomach is 'adorable.'
I know I haven't written about any of
this before, because a lot of my family didn't know, and I wanted to keep it to
myself for awhile. Everything in my pregnancy is going fine.. I'm due April
20th. I promise I'll keep this updated on that from now on. :)
Sunday, 12-13-98
Yesterday was alright. Mom and I ended up going to
look for maternity clothes yet again, and we kind of got into an argument
because I'm so "picky". But like.. some of those maternity clothes
*really* scare me. Erm.. yeah anyhow.. not a big deal I suppose.. and we got
past it. So then Mom and I decorated the tree *finally* and made spaghetti for
dinner. Mom and I went to Hastings so she could get her big hershey kisses for
Rodney and Ryan, and looked around awhile. And then it closed on us, so we left
;) We went to County Market to get milk and some grocery's. I ran into Birch
there.. I hadn't seen him in so long. He used to work with Chris at Jimmy-B's a
*long* time ago. The first thing he said was "I lost your phone number, I
can't find it anywhere." Like I believe he still tried to find it ;)
*laugh* He apparently works at County Market now, nightshift. After talking
with him for a couple of minutes, I ran off to go find Mom again, and ran into
Sara South and Andrea Osborne. Sara of course was surprised I was still around
and wanted to know why I never call her.. also commented on my pregnancy and
Chris' marriage to Stacey. Life is strange =) Shawn was gone cause he was
skiing and didn't come home until today. Today Mom made cookies *yay* and I
worked on my stained glass some.. and finished Grandma's present. We also
wrapped Gram and Pap's presents, and were getting them ready to be sent. Not
much else of interest happened.. Mom hasn't finished the cookies yet, so I dunno
when she'll work on them some more.. maybe tomorrow night :)
Friday, 12-18-98
Woi, life is going alright. :) I haven't been doing
much of interest though.. erm, but that's ok. I'm so used to having a boring
life it's not that big of a deal *grin* The weather is getting *way* cold.
It's like.. -5 or so right now, and by Monday night it's supposed to get to like
-29 :D Lots of fun, right? Not really, but oh well. :) My next doctors
appointment is Tuesday, so I guess I'll find out how much weight I've gained..
*fear* ;) Should be interesting. I finished the last of the stained glass
projects I was selling, and the highway patroll officer came over to look at it,
and decided that he does want it, so that's cool. :) Now I only have projects
that I make because I *want* to, which is nice. I got some glass and patterns
for some nightlights.. they were so damn cute, I couldn't resist. Besides,
it'll be something new to try. I also got patterns for Christmas ornaments.. :)
So that should be interesting as well. :) I think I'm going to make a
nightlight for Kalob, since Jenny said he needs one. I'll have to have her come
over and look through the pattern book and figure out which one she wants. Of
course, she might want to make it herself, since she did take the class with me.
But I'd kind of like to make one for him, as a present, you know? :) Other
than that, nothing much of interest going on.. :)
Wednesday, 12-23-98
Hrm, well I'm sitting here and my mom is lecturing
me, again. Because I'm updating my webpage and not finishing my room. She's
just going to keep flipping out regardless until I do exactly as she wants me to
do. She's telling me I'm going to lose my computer and phone. Bleh. I'm so
sick of this. She says I know I deserve it, and yes, I suppose I could have
gotten my room done, but if I 'm going to get it done I don't see what the
problem is with me taking some time to get online and work on my page. I mean
sheesh. Oh well, I suppose I'll be in trouble when she reads this now. Go
figure.
My doctors appointment was yesterday, which went okay I
suppose. The only thing is I lost 2 lbs instead of gaining weight, but the baby
is developing as it should be from what she could tell. So that's good. I'll
have to eat even more I guess. I've only gained 5 lbs in the whole pregnancy.
*sighs* Oh well. Anyhow, she's still bitching at me and I can't think about
what i'm fucking typeing so i'm going ot go. bye.
Monday, 12-28-98
*Yawn* Things are okay, as usual, boring though.
Today is Ric's birthday. Just felt like writing that, for no apparent reason.
:) Christmas was fine, Ric got in town Christmas Eve and then Christmas we
opened presents, etc, had dinner, nothing all too exciting but it was fine. Mom
decorated the dogs with bows, Lacy wouldn't keep hers on though, so just the
dogs had them. I think Shadow still has his on *Shakes head* Erin and I are
supposed to get togehter tomorrow night, so that's pretty cool. It's been
awhile since I've gone out to do anything. Rhi might go with us. I wonder if
I'll run into anyone that doesn't know I'm pregnant *laugh* That could be
interesting. Shawn Gavin showed up at my house the other day for no reason that
I could tell. Wanted to know what I was doing that night. Told him staying at
home. He left. Thank god. :) Lets see, what else.. I'm gonna make nightlights
for Kalob (Jenny's son) and for Taylor (Erin's daughter) I think. Dunno when
I'll get around to that, besdies both of them need to figure out which one they
want =) So :) Not much else to say. Ric's going back to Missoula tomorrow.
Um.. *shrug*
