Hello, Mr. Snow!

Sunday night, we experienced a wicked snowstorm that left a boatload of snow everywhere. Jimmy must have went out to shovel 4 times, and my rental car got stuck in the snow b/c the snowplow didn't plow my street (I'm not too happy about that).

As I mentioned before, I had a rental car this weekend. Last week I was in Detroit from Sunday night until Friday night, so I got to keep the rental car for 2 whole weekends. That means my car was left at my work parking lot. Anyway, because there was a huge snowstorm, my car got burried in snow.. and the snowplow came to clear the parking lot and it plowed around my car, so my car was blocked in with piles of snow.

This is what it looked like when I came to work Monday morning:

Took me 20 minutes clean it off and dig it out with my tiny snow shovel. LoL

My Breaking Point

I experienced a breaking point last friday about this whole travelling business. In the morning, I was told I was to stay in Detroit until Friday - which was ok because we have a deadline to meet. But later that afternoon I get a call from my coworker, asking if I could come in Sunday night, so I can be at the design house bright and early to support our designers. I really have no excuse to say no - so I agreed. I called Jimmy right after to tell him, and just the disappointment in his voice when I told him I was going to be gone for 5 nights really hit me hard. I got really really upset.

We've spent most of our marriage apart. This really truely sucks. I feel like I'm sad all the time because I'm always away from home. Not only do I not get to see my hubby, I'm usually too tired to even go out to see friends. I havn't gone out to see a movie in 4 months! And usually when I do have time to go out, I just want to stay home. I don't think my friends understand that I need time to be home because I'm never home.

*sigh*. I'm sad.....

I Love You Pau Pau

Today is the 2 year anniversary of my Pau Pau's passing. And I do miss her. I'm feeling sad today not only because I'm remembering my grandmother, but I found out that my Gung Gung (my grandfather) has dying of lung cancer. When I first heard the news I was wondering why it wasn't hitting me as hard as when I found out my grandmother was sick. I mean... my Gung Gung is my favorite person. When he has a stroke a few years ago I was devestated. It was hard for me to accept the fact that my Gung Gung was no longer the same person he was before. I think the reason why it didn't hit me as hard is b/c I've been preparing myself for a very long time. When I saw him two years ago, it was like I was seeing a completely different person. I've had time to accept the fact that he's sick, he's frail, and he can leave at any time.

The one person I feel for is my mom. Loosing her mom 2 years ago, and the potential of loosing her dad at any time is... I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through. All I can do is be there for her....

I love you Pau Pau..... and I miss you.....
