Debt
Apparently… Always pay off your student loan debt over your CC debt if you have to make a choice.

New Years 2009
We surprised my parents this year with a visit. We drove up on the 30th, got a hotel, had dinner with V, and then I sent my dad a text message the morning of the 31st – I thought he didn’t have to work so I asked him to meet me at the Ikea. I’d never been and it was close to our hotel. He thought I’d meant the message for someone else and sent it to him by mistake…”I would, but its a little far of a drive.” When I told him which Ikea I meant, he called. He was at work and could not meet us. The other J and I went anyway because mom was also at work and it killed a little time.
After Ikea we went to my parent’s house, stashed the car at Grandma’s house – who normally is always home but was not when we left the car. Hungout with dad and the baby for a while, went and visited grandma and grandpa, waited for mom to get home. When Mom got home we hid and Dad covered her eyes and walked her over to us. and POOF! there we were.
We went to their friend’s New Years Eve party, played “are you smarter than a 5th grader?” Saw some cousins and family friends, watched the ball drop had champagne and otherwise had a wonderful New Years. I’m very glad I was able to see the babies and my expectant cousin.
New Years day was dinner (in the southern sense) at Grandma’s with additional family and then a hike in the state land behind the subdivision. There was sledding, snow angels, and the posting of deer cameras before Chinese and movies.
We had a great time visiting.

dizzy
Yesterday we cleaned out our office. Well no cleaned out… more like consolidated the boxes that we haven’t unpacked because we don’t have shelves to put the books on or put the computer equipment on. So we packed them up into better areas and lined the walls so we could blow up an air mattress of our house guest. It looks a million times better and i could put out some of my paintings and pictures on the window ledge that looks out onto main hall of the building… ok well it looks out onto this weird roof thing around the stairs in the building… but people have tossed trash up there so we keep the blinds closed. Actually the only blinds we keep open are the ones on the ledge that the bunnies can use… they have a view of the parking lot.
Anyway. We cleaned, today we are spot cleaning, vacuuming, tossing the empty boxes and trash, and doing the last minute shopping things that we need to do before our house guest arrives. We’ve been sick this last week, so all of this stuff could have been done yesterday, but though otherJ is getting better I’m not… I’m drugged up. And I’m not convinced that the medicine I’m taking is non-drowsy. Cause I have the drunk eyes but without the drunk/loud mouth.
Our house guest, our first house guest to stay the night with us, is OtherJ’s dad. I am nervous. Not because its a big step in the relationship – which it is, but that I was prepared for. Its the meeting new people thing… i hate meeting new people… blah blah blah all people are new until you get to know them… you know what? bite me. This is my house, this is new people staying in my house. I have to play hostess, which i have only done… ONCE before, for my parents – i know them it doesn’t count… and maybe when Amanda visited for dinner… but she didn’t stay the night. OK. so good hostess for the next few days. I am looking forward to meeting his dad. I think this will be a good visit.

Silent Hill 5 “Homecoming”
I suck at video games. The most I’ve played is Zelda – the original one- I was 5 when I got that. I played it on my old laptop as well, I still sucked. That is until Jared. I played Katamari one night with him. Got frustrated and gave up.
I wanted to see the new Silent Hill, Jared didn’t want to play it, so we got it anyway and now I’m playing it. I still suck. But thats ok.
Notes for silent hill 5:
Spider monster things – guns work
nurses – guns or lead pipe, knife sometimes
Sepulcher Boss — run bitch run….
