Christmas is over

Well, Christmas is over! It was a good Christmas! I got lots of wonderful gifts from everyone-- so thank you! I got a Chargers Snuggie! YAY!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas as welll!
I just had a very low key Christmas- which isn't how I generally like it. I like seeing family and spending time.
Christmas Eve I had to work 8-2. So, I worked and left and went home. I wasn't able to sleep very well the night before so I ended up sleeping away the rest of Christmas Eve. It wasn't too good. I feel really bad that I slept!
Next day: Christmas day! Woke up at 8, and then we go and open our stockings. I got a lot of wonderful surprises in there!
Then, we go into the living room and open up our gifts. It goes youngest to oldest- Mike, me then Beth. We all got lots and lots of gifts! So many things!
Then, we open up our gifts from each other. So, I went first because I NEVER go first. It was from my brother and it was a brown dress, it was really nice of him. It is really cute. I am totally wearing it with my brown uggs.
The my sister opened up her gift from him.
Then, Mike opened up my gift to him: an american eagle long sleeved shirt.
and my sister opened up her gift from me: penguin pajama shorts and a purple tank top
Then, My brother and I open up our gifts from my sister. I got 2 shirts from American Eagle. They are really cute! I wore it last night actually.
The best person ever got me shirts from one of my faaaaaaavorite movies ever: The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have been wearing them non stop. I love them. It was so thoughtful (:
Then my parents open up their gifts from us: My dad got a very nice shirt from me so he wore it that day and wouldn't you know he SPILLED SOMETHING ALL OVER IT! I was SOOOOO angry!!! My mom got pajama pants, body wash, and this little snowman that hums. She is obsessed with snowmen fyi and if you ever come to our house it looks like Christmas threw up. No joke. Well, usually it does. This year it doesn't because of family things. But, maybe next year it will look like it.

So, Christmas is over. What comes next for me? New Years Eve. What will my New Years Resolution be...? Maybe to saaaave some money!

Happpy Holidayys !
Love, Me.

Family Christmas party O'Brien side!

Today we had a family Christmas party at my Aunt Cathy's and Uncle Jack's house. Everyone showed up! wild.

Aunt Deb and Uncle Ralph
Their 5 kids: Jake, Josh, Adam, Annabelle, and Amelia
Aunt Marie and Uncle Kevin
Their 2 kids: Conor and Julia

My cousin Sean and his girlfriend Ashley and her daughter Rhyan
My cousin Amy and her boyfriend Mike
My Aunt Cindy and her boyfriend Jim
My mom and dad
My sister my brother and me.

lotssss of people. crazy irish family.

This year Amy and I were included in the "adult" portion of the party. Instead of doing secret people like every other year they decided to do a yankee swap and OMG was it funny.
People trading with people for gifts they didn't want. Hilarious. I ended up with the gift that I brought (because I had a plan all along and it worked). It was a hot chocolate set with 2 mugs, cocoa mix, marshmellows and a little wisk to stir it with and then a thing of ferrero rochers.
well, i am not keeping the hot chocolate set because I don't drink hot chocolate so guess who I am giving it to (:
BUT i am so keeping my ferrero rochers. yum. only chocolate I really eat.
I hung out with my younger cousins mostly and Ashley's daughter Rhyan. She was SO cute (rhyan)


my cousin and i

cute amelia


i am so excited and in the christmas spirit. its the season to be jolly (:
so please everyone, be happy. Don't let anything or anyone ruin your Christmas. Know that someone will always be there for you no matter what. And that even the smallest of wishes generally do come true if you want it bad enough. So, enjoy the season and may all of your Christmas wishes come true!

funny ness.

I did this last year or the year before... It is soooo silly!!!

Wrapping Gifts

Christmas 2009 is coming up! Less than a week! Yayyy!
So, since I am the "spirit of Christmas", I am getting ready for it. Usually, I wrap as I buy gifts. This year, I waited until now. And I dislike myself for that. I spent over an hour wrapping gifts.
Here is something you may or may not know about me. I love spoiling people. Seriously, I love buying people gifts and knowing that what I got them will be used, that it is being enjoyed. I do not ever expect anything in return and usually do not ever want anything in return.
I don't want to come off as sounding "wealthy", because personally, I really am not. However, come Christmastime I am generally given a lot. And, I am very grateful for my family being able to do so. These are not things that I "need", but extras. I try to ask for things that I need, or think that I need atleast... So, when I give people gifts I do not expect anything in return. In fact, I generally prefer it that way.
My favorite thing to do during the holiday season is to pick a name at my church of a child who is less fortunate than most and buy them gifts. That, to me, is what Christmas is all about. It isn't about getting what you want, or giving to those who already have a lot. In fact, I would prefer if instead of giving gifts to me, that the money going towards me would go to a child in need.
Also, I give gifts to Sherry's House for children with cancer.
I wasn't able to do that this year. Honestly, I forgot. When I remembered, I was very very very upset. The only thing left that I had to do was to send a card to a wounded soldier, and I am glad that I did. Hopefully what I wrote cheers him/her up.. I've been told I write funny things sometimes. (:
But, I really wish that I had remembered to give the kids christmas presents...

im a klutz.

I woke up this morning mad early (okay like 8:30) and I was ready for a good day! I got up, told myself I would be in a good mood, and marched towards the shower. It went fine until....... stupid soap got in the stupid shower flooor and i slipped backwards and hit my head on the stupid water spout thing. Obviously there were a lot of tears because of the pain.
So after maybe 5 minutes of just sitting there stunned and crying I decided I should probably shut the water off and get out of the shower. I didn't stand to get out, I crawled out because I was scared I would slip again.
So then we decided it would be best to call my doctor, etc etc. So called my Dr. and she had me come in because I could have a concussion. Really? I didn't realize that... (sarcastic). So, off we went to the doctors and I got checked out and she sent me to Umass Memorial to get my brain scanned. SO COOOOOOL.
So, obviously there was a nice wait to get that done. It is now about 12:30 and I am an angry girl. My head was spinning and dizzy and in a lot of pain still. They said that there was a "very slight concussion" and signs of previous head trauma. Reallly?? I have been pushed into a lot of walls and suffered some abuse over the years and it SHOULD have been read in my file. But people are idiots and don't read anything.
So basically they said to take it easy, to rest for a day or so.
BUTTTT I have to work today and tomorrow so looks like I can't rest up. Especially since my boss is gone this week. grrr.

thats where i am at. it hurts. i have work in an hour. i have cramps. i miss someone very important to me (hence the good mood this morning) i THOUGHT i would be able to see him. My day sucks now. I miss his cute face. grrrrr. now i can't seee him till MAYBE sunday night.. after 2 christmas parties. lameeee. well if you read this, i dont know if you will.. but i miss you.

Winter

Today definitly reminded me that it was winter time! It was soooooo cold! My car actually had a few issues starting up because it was not warm. sweeeeet.

Anywhoo- I hate the cold. I hate being cold. I literally cannot function if I am too cold. So, I am excited to say that I will be getting a new jacket for Christmas this year so I will be stylin AND warm! Cannot wait!

After Christmas, when it snows a bit more, I want to go to holden hills. I want to go hardcore sledding. Anyone down for some sledding?
I also reaaaallly wanna go ice skating. I took ice skating lessons and won 2 gold medals when I was younger. I haven't skated in years, but man, would I love to go back.

I am such a kid when it comes to snow. I am completely serious. I enjoy playing in it, having snow ball fights, making snow angels, skiing, snowboarding, sledding, ice skating.. everything! BUT the only thing that gets me is how cold the snow is. I literally become FROZEN.

Also, it doesn't help that I am a completely stubborn person so if I were to lose a glove or a boot or a hat or anything, it would be "too wet" to put back on. I would just continue on without my glove, or boot, or hat. I really can be stubborn.

Do you remember being a kid? Being stuck in those god-awful snowsuits, giannnnt jackets, ridiculous gloves, hats, and boots? Underneath that snowsuit was probably a sweatsuit. Your mother was probably the one that dressed you so you were nice and warm when you were outside. So, there you are ATTEMPTING to move outside and "play" in the snow when you really can't. Alll you wanna do is run and jump and play in that white fluffy stuff. But, you can't. Then, the enevitable happens and your boot falls off, your mitten falls off, etc and you either stay put until someone rescues you or you get up and continue playing. My sister was smart enough to stay put when that happened. I was the stubborn kid and continued playing and learned to hate the cold.

I think snow is pretty. I just think its a pain in the ass to shovel, to clean off a car, to do anything with it besides play in it. Who actually enjoys shoveling or cleaning off their car? I think that I belong someplace warm (: and I will just import snow for Christmas !

everything going on

This week I am CRAZZZZYY busy! As you know, my dad had a heart attack. Well, he hasn't been able to work. What have I been doing? I get to do MORE paperwork for his business. I have wanted to learn about it for years so I finally had a chance to help the family out. So, I am done with finals. YA! But, the rest of the week is crazy busy.
I have been working so hard because my boss took the week off for a vacation. Everyone really has been working hard, not just me. Anyway, I closed monday, closed tonight, I am working tomorrow, closing friday and closing saturday. AND sunday I have a work christmas party in the morning, and then a family christmas party at 12.
In between all of this I am finishing my christmas shopping and helping my dad out with his work.

I mailed my Christmas cards today. If you got one, you are special. If you don't, well it sucks to be you.


In even more exciting news: 5 days til Marissa and Will's baby is born! Soooo excited for you guys! I cannot wait!! I have to go to the post office sometime and mail them the baby clothes I bought. They don't know if they are having a boy or a girl yet, so I am sending both!

Christmastime?

It doesn't feel like Christmas time to me this year. Maybe because there have been soo many changes in my life.
You see, a lot of bad things have happened to me this year. In July, a very close friend passed away of Cancer.A very close family friend passed away from a heart attack as well. My grandmother had a heart attack, my other grandmother had stomach issues, my grandfather kept having ischemic strokes and my other grandfather lives in an assisted living apartment building and is having a lot of random health issues. On top of that, on November 6th my dad went into the hospital because he had a heart attack. He had a triple bypass the following monday. He is doing very well now. Honestly, I hate when people bring it up. Because I get so emotional over it and I don't like to generally show my emotions. I am very thankful that everything HAS gone well with him.
So, that is why it doesn't feel like Christmas. Nothing is normal around my house.. No lights on the outside of the house, we JUST put up green garland and lights around the banister. Our christmas tree is decorated but we didn't do it all together. Everyone is growing up and going their separate ways.

I want to take a minute to recognize someone who is very important in my life. My late great grandmother Dorothy Maxwell. She passed away in 1997. On Christmas. I was only 10 and rarely saw her because she lived in Syracuse, NY. But, she made such a big impact on my life.
My full name is Meghan Kathleen Sweeney. My other great grandmothers name was Kathleen Margaret. I was named after her, she died right before I was born. So, years go by and I get to know my other great grandmother, Dorothy. She would visit and bake soo many tasty treats with us. She would let me stay up late and we would watch Gone With the Wind. I never really understood at age 10 everything that was going on in the movie, all I knew was my kind great grandma was letting me stay up late to watch a grown up movie. It kind of was a bonding experience I suppose. Well, I remember Christmas morning, my mom getting a phone call from my Grandma Carol, great grandma had passed away. My mom was a wreck. She was very very close to my great grandma, they had a special bond between them. A few days go by and the whole family travels to Syracuse to the funeral. I don't remember much from it, all I remember is singing with my other cousins two songs. "Sweetly Sings the Donkey" (my great grandma would sing that to us) and "Silent Night". Today I can't listen to "Silent Night" without getting emotional. I remember singing. I remember the look on my parents faces, grandparents faces, aunts and uncles faces, distant relatives faces. They had tears so I had tears too. I didn't really know what I was crying about then, but I know what I was crying about now.
So, every Christmas eve, we would go to church and of course, "Silent Night" is sung. Every year on Christmas eve, you can bet that I have a few tears when I hear that song. I will quietly sing along, just enough so I can hear myself but no one else really can.
I love Christmas. I love the happy feeling that is all around. I love the music, the snow (i get sick of it fast though), I love to hand out gifts that I picked out especially for someone, I love the look of joy on my younger cousins faces when they open up their gifts at the family christmas party. They are the only reason why I still go. And for my grandma, because this family christmas party means a LOT to her.
So, Christmastime.. you need to come. I need to feel like its a normal Christmas this year. Why do things change? Why do people change and grow apart? Maybe this is a sign that I am growing up. Who knows. All I know is I am ready to sing along to "Silent Night" on Christmas Eve. And watch a few sheep and llamas get walked down the aisle at my cousins Christmas Pageant.

Never is a Promise

You'll never see the courage I know.
It's colors richness won't appear within your view
I'll never glow-- the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you

but as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
my feelings swell and stretch, i see from greater heights
i understand what i am still too proud to mention, to you.

you'll say you understand, but you dont understand
you'll say you'd never give up seeng eye to eye
but never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

you'll never touch these things that i hold
the skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
you'll never feel the heat of this soul
my fever burns me deeper than i have ever shown-- to you

you'll say don't fear your dreams, its easier than it seems
you'll say you will never let me fall from hopes so high
but never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

you'll never live the life that i live
i'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
you'll neve hear the message i give
you'll say it looks as though i might give up this fight

but as the scenery grows i see in different lights
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
my feelings swell and stretch i see from greater heights
i realize what i am now too smart to mention-- to you

you'll say you understand, you'll never understand
i'll say i'll never wake up knowing how or why
i dont know what to believe in, you don't know who i am
you'll say i need appeasing when i start to cry
but never is a promise and i'll never need a lie.

~~~

this song means a lot to me.

forever and always

once upon a time, i believe it was a tuesday when i caught your eye
and we caught onto something, i hold on to the night
you looked me in the eye and told me you loved me.
Were you just kidding?

cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
we almost never speak. i don't feel welcome anymore
baby what happened please tell me because one second
it was perfect now your halfway out the door

and i stare at the phone he still hasn't called
and you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all
and you flashback to when he said forever and always

and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
it rains when your here and it rains when your gone
i was there when you said forever and always

was i out of line? did i say something way too honest
make you run and hide, like a scared little boy
i looked into your eyes, and i knew you for a minute
now, im not so sure

so heres to everything, coming down to nothing.
heres to silence -- that cuts me to the core
where is this going? thought i knew for a minute
but i don't anymore

and i stare at the phone he still hasn't called
and then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all
and you flashback to when he said forever and always

oh and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
it rains when your here and it rains when your gone
cause i was there when you said forever and always
you didn't mean it baby, i don't think so.

oh back up, baby back up did you forget everything?
back up, baby back up did you forget everything?
back up baby back up, back up, baby back up

cause it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
it rains when your here and it rains when your gone
i was there when you said forever and always

oh i stare at the phone he still hasn't called
and you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all
and you flashback to when he said forever and always

and it rains in your bedroom everything is wrong
it rains when your here and it rains when your gone
cause i was there when you said forever and always
you didn't mean it baby. you said forever and always.

lyrics that mean a lot to me...

its been months

Hi... it has been months since I did this. My life has been crazy busy. So, last post I wrote that Kim would be an auntie- well the baby was born last friday morning! Marissa and Will just found out they were pregnant- well the baby is coming this monday! Crazy. Time flew by.
What have I been up to?

School! Major: Pre-Vet (probably changing back to Psychology..)
Work! I am still working at Papas making practically nothing for running that place.
Bryan and I broke up- long story.
But I found someone pretty wonderful after that. (:

I have so many goals right now its insane.
I need to organize my life.
I just need to organize myself.
I love A.D.D....

Basically my goals are: go sky diving (starting with indoor skydiving first to see if I like it), I want to go in a hot air balloon, I want to zipline through the tops of trees in Jamaicaa, I want to just live life- I want to be carefree. I want to be able to wake up everday with a smile and know that everything that day will be okay, that nothing can harm me or anyone else.

The more important ones: well, I want to go to Africa and work with children who are ill. Atleast for a few months. I want to eventually own my own boutique because my grandfather has always said I should. I want to work with animals, maybe just as a volunteer. I want to work with children somehow who need developmental help. I want to just be able to SMILE and help save someones life (ITS TRUE IT HAPPENS!)

People have always said that I will do good things in my life. This may be true, I may do good things, I may help people out, I may help out living creatures in general. But I want to help make a bigger impact on the world. I did think for a while that this could be done by just "touching" someone's life, making it better in some way. But, that would take forever. I still believe in my philosophy, I just need to figure out what my "calling" is.

Some of my friends want to be doctors, some of my friends want to be lawyers, some want to be teachers, while others want to be stay at home mothers. Each of these jobs, I think, are equally as important and equally affect the lives of others. For the LONGEST time I wanted to be a doctor, but a lot of obstacles got in my way. I will never claim to be the smartest girl. I surprise myself sometimes with the things that I "actually know". Useless information I learned in 7th grade will randomly come out of my mouth when people ask questions.

For a while I just have been living life. It's time that I step it up. I need to do better. I need to be a better person. I always thought things would "fall into place". Maybe I need to make it all happen.

a not so typical wednesday

My day began with my cat being outside. I was asleep and all of a sudden i heard this AWFUL screech. It wasn't my cat, thankfully, but he was outside hanging out with a fox. I think the fox would have won honestly, Dennis can do some damage but, I don't think he would have won. Then, I was TRYINGGGGG to clean my room, and I was putting clothes away into my dresser and the lamp fell and broke!!!!! Ugh seriously once I TRY to start cleaning up one mess another one starts. Its the worst.
Lucky Bry got to golfing today. That was his day.. golf.

I now have to work 5-10:30 and I can't say that I am excited about that. If anyone wants to come in and visit, they are more than welcome to.
Oh ya and then tomarrow I get to work a lovely 8-8.

DRAMMMAAAAAAA

Theres so much going on ...

Someone walked out of work and quit because pasta wasn't bagged..
psychooo if you ask me.
This woman threatened me too. How funny is that. Apparently she was going to kill me if I said one more thing to her. Oh, we hire such amazing people..

Another manager is going into the MIT program and leaving us for a while, or for good. She has been with the company for a very long time and she will truly be missed. I can't believe I will be taking her place... crazy.

Another manager is going to be AN AUNTIE!!!!!!! YAYYY congratulations!!!

Marissa is pregnant and I am so happy for her, Will, and Sydney! Can't wait for the baby to come, they are covering all of the holidays. Sydney- Halloween, New Baby- New Years Eve!

Congratulations to Matt on graduating High School, good luck in College, I am sure you will love it!
Happy Birthday to: Laurie, Bry, Aunt Cindy, Brittany, Nana Collins, and anyone else I can't remember!

its whatever.

So, I am absolutely sick of people. Seriously... I have no patience whatsoever for anyone. If you dont want me to go to events, just say it. Don't have people tell me to go and then all of a sudden change your mind. I just don't care anymore. Sorry I don't walk on water like some people. Screw it. Seriously.

Bry and I are doing alright, I guess. We have been in a big fight and he knows what its about. I am done caring as much as I do for people to like me. I changed myself for people and thats just dumb. WHO CARES IF I HAVE BLACK HAIR NOW!!!!!!!! ITS NOT YOUR HAIR DONT FREAKING COMMENT ON IT!!! WHO CARES IF MY BELLY BUTTON IS PIERCED, THAT I WANT TATTOOS, DOES IT REALLY MATTER TO YOU??? NO, it shouldnt. it really really shouldnt. My body has NOTHING to do with yours. I don't comment on you, so don't comment on me. Whatever.

Mr. Doug Ingalls passed away this past weekend and I am shocked and saddened by this. He was my aunts good friend, they were in a lot of plays together. He was my sisters drama coach for many years, and he was my teacher in high school. Now, I may not have known him as well as many people but it doesn't mean that I didn't care about him as much as they did. He got me through a lot. My grandmother had a heart attack and I had failed to visit her due to my selfishness. (I don't like visiting family in hospital, it freaks me out and I get nervous). He made me realize that I was being selfish and may not have another opportunity to say I love you, or to show that I love her. He was a great guy and I will never forget him.
Plus he was hilarious, he told me to "stop flirting with Andy" - I wasn't, I swear but it was a very funny moment.
He told me that I "write like a guy" I don't have girly handwriting, he would know he was an english teacher he saw a lot of writing. But, I still don't write like a girl.
He told so many wonderful stories of his trips to England, his "fanny pack" story.. ask me about it some time. Though I will not do it justice like he did, I will do my best trying. I think that he was a little upset that I never did theatre, I was in one play and though I enjoyed it and didn't get a big role like my sister, I had a blast. And let me tell you, I was the best crazy bride in the insane asylum that there will ever be. (=
RIP DOUG INGALLS- Always in my heart, always in my prayers- you helped many get through tough situations and you were a wonderful man-

football

Today, I went to work and what did I do? For the first 1o minutes I played football. Well, actually we just threw the ball around a bit.
Anyway, Brian (Krissy's boyfriend) threw the ball to me. I then threw it back and I guess Krissy was having issues throwing it because he commented on how small my hands are and how I threw better than her. Anyway, it was an AWESOME throw. Well, a few minutes pass and I threw it to Brian again and..... IT WAS LIKE I WAS PLAYING SHOTPUT! Seriously, like... I dont know what was getting into me but after I threw it I was like %$#@!!! Worst throw. I had to go inside after that, but I wanted a do over. It was the worst ever. Blah.

WELCOME BACK LAPTOP!!!

MY LAPTOP IS BACK IN ACTION!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPPPY!!!

IT HAD AN AWFUL BUG AND MY BROTHER GOT IT TO WORK!!!!

YAYYYYYY!!!!!

So , wat have I been up to lately?? well, I changed my major to vet science. I have been working reckless hours. I have been preparing for mothers day. I have been attemptiing to clean my room, my car, everything in my life needs to get organized. I have been reading aat lot lately, I just finished 2 books, The Last Lecture and Jon and Kate plus 8 book. My friend Amy gave me the first 3 Harry Potter books to read because I have only read the first one, and it has always been a goal of mine. I haven't been taking life too seriously because, you only live once right? It's been balls to the walls crazy. Not really but for me it is. I pierced my belly button. twice. It looks so cool. I am still a blonde but want dark streaks in it. I haven't been able to sleep very well lately. Ummm.... I think thats it.

Word

12-CLOSE?!?

Alright, I am normally not someone who complains about working long hours.. but today was, (as I channel Kimmi), RECKLESSS!!!!!!!! Not only was it ridiculously slow, but I had to work 11 hours. EW.
So, I am making pizzas and putting things in the oven. My general manager was talking to Kimmi, and I was doing register. Then it happened. IIIIIIIII apparently was in the wrong for doing the register when my g.m was just standing around. BECAUSE 2 PAPA ROLLS WERE BURNT!!!!!! IT IS NOT MY FAULT!! I ACTUALLY WAS WORKING!!!! UGHDFGSDGFDJGHJDGHJDFHGJFD. i HATE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY PAPA GINOS.... SUCKS!!!!!!!! iT IS JUST THE WORST EVER. WHATEVER. WHAT CAN i DO BESIDES VENT?? i hate how much praise people get without working. And I get the complaints. Whatever.. it is time to move on I think...

Describe what you wear when you impress...

Ummm I am not sure. I guess I just try to look my best. Maybe a skirt and a blouse or something.. but that's really not me. I am more of a tshirt and jeans girl! I try not to wear anything more than once a month, though. I tend to get boring with the clothes that I wear. Or Bry says that I do anyway. I hate it because we are always taking pictures, and I hate to be photographed in the same thing twice. Even though I always am. I don't know... I like to just be in casual wear I suppose. I think that if you are yourself, and what you wear shows off your personality, without being too "loud", you are able to impress anyone.
What do you guys wear when you try to impress people???

Almost Easter!!

Well, it is almost Easter.. I am not a huge Easter person. I like to color eggs, although I am unable to do it this year because I am working 12-11:30. Sunday, my aunt Debbie's family is coming over to celebrate Easter. Bry went home today and now he is out paaaaarrrrtyiiing!!!!
Lucky... i'm at home.. in my pjs.. ready for bed. ha! It should be a pretty uneventful weekend, we will see how it plays out.

Walk this Way

I am always complimented about the songs that I listen too... I listen to everything...
So, I have been asked to put together a list of songs that represent me.

I will try to explain to the best of my abilities why they represent me..

1. Shake ya tailfeather- Murphy Lee, Nelly, P.Diddy- I am always goin around shakin what I got, so this song definitly gets me in the mood to dance... plus I go around randomly telling people to shake their tailfeathers. ha.

2. You Learn- Alanis Morissette- I love all of Alanis' songs... the lyrics aren't typical.. they have meaning and substance. It is one of those songs that can change your life from listening to it.

3. In my Head- Anna Nalick- I love the lyrics, they also have substance. They are creative...
"fall away to the sound of myheart to your beat, meloncholy and cool, kind of bittersweet , love on repeat, Im echoing all of your philosophies". (SEE WHAT I MEAN?!)

4. Pump It- Black Eyed Peas- It is an upbeat song... it reminds me of surfing and summer..

5. Save me from myself- Christina Aguilera- This song reminds me of all of the tough times Bry and I have been through.. and I have put him through a lot. I haven't had the easiest life...
He has literally saved me from myself at times.

6. Never is a Promise- Fiona Apple- Once again, lyrics with substance... this song means a lot to me...

7. Down So Long- Jewel- I love her... enough said. Her music is AMAZING!

8. Where I Stood- Missy Higgins- I have given up some things in my life, and it is about giving up and realizing it was for the best because you wouldn't be where you are today.

9. Pretty Baby- Vanessa Carlton- an older song, but it is about someone who doubts in the relationship and the other person is begging that person to stay, because they "saved smiles for them". ... a good song I recommend it .

10. The Way I am- Ingrid Michaelson- It is about accepting and loving your significant other for who they are and what they aren't. It is another good song. Plus, my Bongos are in it :D

there you go!!
What is your "soundtrack to your life"

Bry and I at Driving range

Bry and I went to the driving range the other day. I was having one of my moments, so I sat in the car. I decided to take some pics of him. I caught a good one of his swing, dont you think so? It is nice when he and I can spend time together like this.... it is really rare. I am usually at work during the times when we can hang out.. so it is always a treat to watch him do what he loves. PLUS he is getting me into it!!!!! I am not good... would never say that I am good... but hey.. the time will come when I am good. I have to make it into a little fun game for myself though. Like how far can I get it etc... It doesn't go too far... but whatever. It goes far enough for me.
I am actually pretty good at mini golf. I beat him once. YES THAT'S RIGHT I BEAT HIM ONCE!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Hahahahahaha

BRY AND I... SHOOTING RANGE???

Bry and I want to go to the shooting range so that I can teach him how to shoot a gun, or two or three hahahah. I think that it is very important that every woman learn self defense, plus its fun :D He will definitly be a pro now haha!!

MKAT AND BRYS DAY OFF

Bry and I finally had a little free time the other day so we decided to spend some quality time together! I dragged Bry to do some shopping, and then we saw The Haunting in Connecticut. I loooooove scary movies!!! And popcorn hahaha!!!!

Its so nice when Bry and I get to just kick back and relax (:

What do you guys do on your days off?

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!! and I hope that you like my present.......

<3 Meg and Dizzle

The things I live my life by...

" I knew you were gonna talk..
.. so I figured I might as well give you
something to talk about".

Judge me

and I will prove

you wrong.

Say I won't

and I will.

Tell me what to do

and I will tell you off.

Call me a bitch

Ha, I'll show you one.

Say I'm not good enough

watch where I'll end up.

Do me wrong,

and I'll do it right back.

It's not about where I'm from.

Its about where I am going.

It's not about who I was.

It's about who I am now.

It's not about what's on me.

It's about whats inside of me.

It's not about what I drive

It's what drives me that matters.

To all them haters

I'm a lot of things, but what I am not and what I will never be is FAKE. It is what it is, and I am who I am. You are who you are and I'll tell you like it is even if it makes you cry. When you lie, you are only lying to yourself. I don't like being confused, so I choose to be real instead of backstabbing and betraying people. Therfore, I am not going to disrespect anyone to spare their feelings no matter what the case may be. Being honest with someone is an act of kindness. It is BOLD. It is BRAVE. and it saves others from wasting their time. I believe in helping everyone and anyone that I can around me. Lying to people isn't going to get them anywhere but in need of a reality check. I'm not perfect, no one is. I can and will always admit that. My flaws represent who I am; they tell a story of their own that most people won't ever get a glimpse of in their lifetime. My flaws and scars make me one beautiful individual ,and I wouldn't trade them for ANYTHING. I always laugh at everything, and I always have a smile on my face. I am grateful, that is why I continue to smile. I am happy even when I am sad. Sometimes, I cry for no reason and when I have a reason to cry, I don't shed a tear.
I LOVE BRY WITH ALL OF MY HEART!! He is what drives me, and the reason for my existence. I was in a bad place before, he got me out of it. For that, I thank him. So, what I did, didn't do, should have done, could have done, wouldn't do or choose to do, is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
You people talk about me and my past like its your obsession. GET OVER ME ALREADY! If I had 8 hands, one would be applying my makeup, the other 7 would be flipping off the world!!
Talk about me, blog about me, dream about me... because I ENCOURAGE ALL HATERS BABY!!!
It simply means that I have something that you want.

NEWSFLASH: Hating me won't make you feel better about yourself. So what if I look the way that I do... You can't and won't ever be like me!!!!

.. I have really beenn slacking...

New Prompts..

Okay, I am really bad at doing these prompts. But, they are interesting...
here we goo...

1. What do you want to be when you grow up?
A) I would love to work with animals, work with people, work with medicine. I want to do a lot to help out my community. My mom was very involved in all of my activities as a child, and I would love to do the same for my children as well.

2. Who do you admire most?
A) I admire my grandparents and my parents. More specifically, my two grandfathers for serving our country. My grandpa John is unbelievably intelligent, smartest person I know. I definitly look up to him. My grandpa Tom is just a kind, gentle man. He too is intelligent, and he knows how to have a good time. He can be a little shy, but with the right people he can open up.

3. What's the longest-distance relationship you have had/maintain?
A) Such an easy question!!!! Bry and I met in Washington D.C. in 8th grade. He is from Haverhill, MA.. I am from Paxton, MA. It has lasted almost 7 years. Although now he goes to Woo State......

upcoming activities

There is a ton coming up in the next few weeks for Bry and I...
school is coming to an end and finals are beginning in a few weeks.. time to REALLY break out the books and study!
Tomarrow, the 9th, is my mom's birthday-- we will be getting takeout from Applebees.
Bry leaves friday for a long weekend, comes back monday
Bry is going home this weekend for Easter, and I will be here with my family. I am excited, my family is coming over and we we are having a huge Easter party!
Next weekend (weekend after Easter) we will be going to the New England Aquarium!!
Mike has his Confirmation, Gerard (Bry's cousin) has his First Communion, Matt graduates from high school...
soooo much coming up!

tattoos? piercings?

Alright, so I am the kinda girl that does things on a whim. I don't tell people until the day or 2 days before.

I really love my belly button piercings, they are so cute and scream "Meghan".
But, what if theres more? I have ALWAYS wanted my nose and my labret done... I can't get them done because of work, which sucks.
I also love this poetry from Edgar Allen Poe
" All that we see or seem
is but a dream within a dream"

I was thinking a possible tattoo... not sure if it will be done, though.

I also love Bob Marley-- if you know me, you know that I have a new OBSESSION with him!!
I love this quote by him

" Emancipate yourself from mental slavery "

I truly believe that is true to living a long and prosperous life. I am trying to be calmer, more collected... but, I have some rage built up each day. I am slowely losing patience... not a good thing.

I am not this little girl thats scared of the world...

current mood: curious
current music: How Does It Feel- Avril Lavigne

" I'm not afraid, of anything..
I just need to know that I can breathe
And I don't need much of anything..
but suddenly.. suddenly..
I am small and the world is big
Alll around me, is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
then suddenly, suddenly..

How does it feel, to be
Different from me, are we the same?
How does it feel to be
Different from me, are we the same?
How does it feel? "

3 new prompts

I have been slacking when it comes to writing in my blog daily. I have found that it is v. therapeutic.
For all of you wondering, my belly rings are doing great.

So, here are the 3 prompts that I have missed....

1. What 3 songs do you wish that you could erase from your memory?
This is a pretty easy one...
1. mandy moore's songs.... ALLL of them... seriously stick with acting.
2. I heard Scarlett Johannson sing this song, and she sounded like a dude.
3. Britney Spears- baby one more time... so cookie cutter, get creative.
... there are a LOT more songs I think are pointless, I like creativity, originallity, music and poetry that makes you YOU.


2. (second prompt)
What are you famous for??
My bouncy perkiness. I am always up for a good time, and I have fun EVERYWHERE I go. Granted, I may be in a mood and be stubborn at the time. But, generally I look back on it and think... "wow I had a great time". Also, probably my love for vibrant colors. I truly believe that your favorite color tells a lot about you as a person.
For instance, I like the color pink, but mostly Bright crazy pinks... I have a vibrant personality.
It just goes well together.
I am also famous for how random I am. I love to live each day as a new day...

3. What are you doing to help the environment?

I love doing my part to help the environment. I read today, that only 25% of all plastic is recycled. My family is big on recycling, so I learned young the importance of paper, plastic, and glass products being recycled. I hate paper.. SERIOUSLY!!!!! It annoys me. It just..... is a waste. Plus, it is made from trees. If the world became (mostly) paperless, the environment would be in pretty good shape. More trees equals more oxygen, right?? We give them the CO2 they need, they give us the O2 we need!

Today I got my belly button pierced. Actually, it was a double navel. 4 holes, 2 piercings. I can say... it hurt a little bit. The top hurt worse than the bottom. Bryan drove me and Allison met me there. She got another piercing in her ear.. so far she has... a bunch of ear piercings, her nose, her tongue, her belly button.. and I think thats it. I guess I was squirmy when I got it done, but... after he pulled the jewelry through (felt a TON of tugging, not so much pain) I couldn't feel a thing. Right now its sore, a kind of dull pain, but.... I love it, I think that it looks REAALLLY cute! I am very happy with my results, and was asked to come back in 6 weeks to get it looked at/my picture taken for this tv they have inside with a bunch of cool tattoos and piercings.

This girl Kimmi that I work with got 2 microdermals underneath her collarbone, ouch. But, it looks REALLLY cute. I was weary about how it would come out, but when I saw it I told her that I thought it looked reallly cool. The gems catch the light so it looks like a diff. color depending on what shes wearing/whats around her. So cool.

I can't wait to change my belly rings in and out and just mess with the funkyness of it.

your a Juice bag

So, today Bry came over after class for lunch. We got takeout from Paxton Pizza. Anyway, Bry and I were "arguing" (over something stupid, can't even remember what it was) and he called me.. a douche bag. How lovely.
Well, I went to call him the same thing and it came out as YOUR A JUICE BAG!!!
Yeah.... it was pretty funny.. we were crying laughing

Another funny thing that happened is, we were discussing Whoopie Goldberg one day and how she has no eyebrows. I still am curious about that, why DOESN'T she have eyebrows?! Its a mystery...
Well, since we were discussing Whoopie Goldbergs eyebrows, I meant to say Whoopie Goldberg but it came out as Whoopie Goldbrow. So funny.

Today, Bry went to say, get me a piece of paper... it came out as get me a peep op papeh.
Another moment where I was crying laughing.

Heres the funny thing about Bryan and I... I normally start the wierd moods where we can't talk, because I naturally just screw up everything and jumble it all up. He will catch on and end up saying wierd things.

Oh yeah, my new "nickname" is mkat. I feel so gangster. (=

Prompt

What is the best April fools Joke you have done??

The best joke I have done... is... at 12:30 am a few April Fools Days ago, I went around the house and changed EVERY alarm clock (besides my parents alarm clocks). So if it were 3:00 pm, it said 4:00 pm.
I got yelled at...
BUT it is still fun to think back that I had EVERYONE fooled!

Plinky Prompt

Today's prompt is.............
What is my favorite line from a movie??

My favorite line from a movie is, "what like it's hard?"
It is from Legally Blonde (Best movie ever made). I love it because it is when her ex boyfriend says, "YOU got into LAW SCHOOL?!" She proved him wrong, and that is EVERYTHING that I am about.

What is your favorite line from a movie?

Quarantine

I recently bought the movie, Quarantine. I was nervous that it wasn't going to be good.
Well, it exceeded my expectations. A mutated rabies virus. Crazy. It was really good, I suggest it to those of you who like horror movies.
My top horror movies.
1. The shining
2. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
3. The Exorcist
4. Gothika

I basically enjoy watching all types of horror movies, but those are my favorites. I have a ton that are just so much fun to watch. I like a good adrenaline rush, and pushing myself to the limit.
Another good movie is The Hills Have Eyes.... I couldn't watch it in theatres, but when it was on tv I watched it and it was pretty good. Totally screwed up though.

Plinky Prompt

I found something cool today, its called a plinky prompt. It is obv. a prompt that you use when you don't know what to say. Well, I want to do it everyday just to answer the questions. I've always got SOMETHING on my mind, so it will be interesting to see what kinds of questions I will be answering...
here are a few questions they have with my answers.

1. If you could only eat one time of cuisine a year, what would it be?
- I would eat American style foods like fried chicken etc. It is comfort food... I will end up being like 300 lbs but hey, if it tastes good its alright.
2. List 5 things to do before you die.
a. pierce belly button
b. learn french
c. ride a BMX bike down my driveway and off a ramp.
d. learn to play guitar
e. be in a crazy photoshoot
3. What gadget is at the top of your wish list?
- a video camera so I can document extroardinary things in my life. So I can revisit my past.
it has to be pink too. So it can match everything else I have hahaha.
4. Where was your first kiss?
- Alright, my first kiss was in kindergarten.. on the bus. I was sitting with this boy, Nick and we were good friends. Well, it was my genius idea to kiss. So I tell him we have to kiss, and it was an ACTUAL kiss. The bus driver caught us and called my mom. I was told I can't kiss a boy until I was 30.


That just reminded me.... back in the beginning of my Papa Ginos career... "little mike" (there were a lot of Mikes in my life) Mike Murray, Mike Brunell, Mike Boulay, Mike my brother, Mike my dad. So, little Mike just seemed to fit Mike Brunell. Anyway, he was dating his name tag with the date gun while I was doing dishes. I walked over and said what are you doing? He said, "this". Well, he went for my name tag..... AND MISSED! He ended up dating my boob. Hahahahaha. His face turned BRIGHT red. It was so funny. I still laugh about it. Seriously, there were some fun times there back in the day. I miss the old crew. We were awesome.

Can I have a whopper??

I went to lunch with Bryan one day, we happened to go to McDonald's although we are trying to cut that food out of our diet. Anyway, Bryan gave up fried foods, so he has a limited amount of food he can eat. So, on the way there I asked what he was getting and he says,"a big mac". Alright, I am sure that you can see where this is going.
We go in and its our turn to order. The reg person goes, "can I help whose next?" We step forward. I tell Bryan to order. So then Bryan says, "can i have a whopper?" I didn't even notice...
the reg person goes... "A WHOPPER?!?" I Burst out laughing because it FINALLY hit me what he said. Everyone around us was cracking up. I couldn't stop laughing. Not because Bry said a whopper, but because the reg person was so stunned that the way he said it was hilarious. All low and loud at the same time. So funny.
So, naturally, I kept making fun of him that whole time. He took a bite of it, I would say, "hows your whopper?" I got VERY annoying, but.. I was crying laughing the whole time. Even while I was eating I was cracking up.
A random lady said something after he said it, and we don't know what she said..it's a mystery. But, she was laughing
What a funny day.
I am exhausted... stupid RAIN! BLAH!

Oh I developed a new word today, squab. You use it when people annoy you. And you have to say it really disgustingly and grossed out at the person.
How I developed it: I wanted to go see Bryan, he didn't want to drive.
So, I got alll angry because I am tired and would love to relax and not have to drive.
He didn't want to lose his parking spot. Naturally, I got annoyed. I get annoyed very easily. I need to work on that.
Anyway, I am all angry and annoyed and just grossed out at the same time by the way hes flipping out over a parking spot..
so I said... watev your a squab.

So, if you are ever in a fight, and need to think of something absolutely disgusting to get that person confused , call them a squab. You will win.

Squab.
Megstah

Censored

Okay, so the newest thing in my life is people trying to tell ME what to do. I can't do anything. I might as well live in a bubble. I am 21, yes I will listen to what you say but no, I don't have to do what you say. If I disappoint you, thats a shame. Get over it. Take me as I am or don't take me at all.

I was spoken to about what I write in this blog, this blog is for ME and ME only. If you choose to read it, that is your decision.

Don't tell me what I can and can't write.

HOW FREAKIN CUTE WAS III?????

Heres a pic of me when I was little, just to prove to you that I haven't changed much and to show everyone a little bit about the young megstahh hahaha!

To all of the people out there calling me a fake blonde-- here's proof that I AM originally a NATURAL blonde!!!

The Haunting in Connecticut

Tonight I went to see The Haunting in Connecticut. It was REALLY good! I love horror/supernatural thrillers.. so it definitly was up my alley. I am now interested in researching the house/what exactly "went on" there. I won't tell any of you what the movie was about, go see it yourself. But, I can say that I am curious whether or not the treatment someone was taking was creating the visions, or "hallucinations". It could be true, but there ended up to be physical proof. Does that mean that because of the medication he was taking, the "hallucinations" seemed so real that he "did it to himself"? Where was the instrument that he used? Where is the proof that it happened??
This is why I love paranormal investigation, lots of people believe in ghosts, or "spirits". More, do not. Or, they are more afraid of it.
Who knows what is out there... what happens.. there are so many different accounts of what happens. This is probably the most interesting portion of psychology that I have been able to study.
Today, I could have gone on a paranormal investigation. I didn't know about it until today. Ugh. It would have been SO much fun!

The Amazing Dizzle

she climbed up a ladder and jumped to the top of my brothers door. shes insane!! Today, she went absolutely crazy and started.. tunneling under the sheets of my bed and literally was laying under all of the covers just creating a tunnel. it was so wierd!

St. Patricks Day

On St. Patricks Day, I went to my Aunt Deb's house. My uncle was away, but my cousins Jake, Josh, Adam, Annabelle, and Amelia were there. My Gma Carol and Gpa John were there also. My mom and sister came too. Amelia and I LOVE to "model" for the camera... here we are!

Stupid

I.. think people are so stupid and are so selfish. I can't release any details of what I am thinking in my head right now, because it is not my place to let people know. However, I do want to say that people need to think before they act. Stupid... absolutely stupid.
This is really bugging me...

I am happy to say that most if not all of these girls have been with their boyfriends for a long time, and they all are great guys. No one beats my lengthy relationship though... Ha.. 7 years people! (almost.. June 10)!!

I LOVE MY MOM!!!!!!!!

Some of you may know, I am not the easiest child to get along with. Never have, probably never will be. If you watch Jon and Kate plus 8, I was Mady. To a tee. I love Mady, she's my fav. on the show, because she is the free spirited child. That is me. I wake up each day with a different view on life. One day I may want to play the bongos, the next I may want to get a BMX bike. That is me, take it or leave it.

Now, I love both of my parents, obviously. The one person that has ALWAYS pushed for me was my mom. We may not see eye to eye all the time or ever, but... she has always supported me and what I want to do that day. My parents are some of my best friends and the most important people in my life. I have more respect for my parents than I can even put words to, and I don't know where I would be without them. So, I just wanted to do a post to show my appreciation for my #1 fans.. and my favorite people in the whole entire world!

To mommy and daddy
Love, McGee

Sad for you

So, I am really sad that my friends and my co-workers Brian Spencer and Matthew Field have to be in the army. Matt has been my neighbor for a while now, we used to hang out back in the day, and then we lost touch after he graduated high school. He went into the service and actually went to Iraq a few years ago. He came back and began working with me. I remembered him as a "bad boy" so, I was weary to be his boss. Turns out now we are practically best friends! He may have to go back to Afghanistan in 2010/2011. I'm not too thrilled about this.

Brian Spencer originated as my coworker Krissy's boyfriend.. He would come in and hang out, etc. Well, then he enlisted in the army and went off to training and then off to Iraq. After about a year deployment, he came back. He promised Krissy that before he went on another tour, he would propose. Well.. they broke up recently. Who knows if they will get back together. Anyway, he is off to basic training for a few more days (he went for 2 weeks). Now, in July I believe he is going back to Iraq for another 6 months to a year. I wish him all of the best. He is a real good person. They both are. Good luck Matt and Brian... you know that I wish you all of the best and I pray for you both every day!

Congratulations Erin!!!

Just read this article.... www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/24/AR2009032403517.html?g=1

How interesting??

Last summer 2 snakes found their way into my house. One, I kicked in by mistake.... and apparently smashed its head in because it was all flat )= woops. I made Bryan throw it outside... it scared me. I think I literally jumped from one side of the room to the other.
And, then... one night Bryan was over and my mom came to our room saying, Meghan come out here. Move your bag .. I think there is a snake behind it. And I am all.. "yeah right mom, theres no snake... " Dizzle was downstairs just staring at the bag. So I call Bryan out and say, move my bag... we think theres a snake. So he reaches down to move the bag and BAM!!! Dizzle smashes against the bag and moves it and theres a snake!!!! GO DIZZLE!! Anyway.. Bryan had to get a bag to throw it outside, because it wasn't a normal colored snake. It was a kind of coral color and wasn't one he had ever seen before. He threw it outside. Then I made him wash his hands because... we don't know where that snake had been. Anyway, about 1 month ago I decided to look up to see what kind of snakes they were. The snake I squished )= was just a garter snake. A harmless little dude. Actually he was long and squiggly if I recall correctly. The second snake, a WORM snake!!! A small little guy that hunts worms and salamanders. A ton of salamanders came into my house last summer for some reason so it finally made sense.
Not to mention last summer was VERY rainy. Well, with all of the rain came TONS of creepy black spiders.. IN MY ROOOOOOM!!! Seriously... One would run and then another would run and I would have to squish them all. One night, dizzle jumped from the floor onto me, bounced off and slammed against the wall because there was a spider on it. It was very funny but then it landed in my bed and then it wasn't funny because it was now IN MY SHEETS!!
I am not as afraid of spiders as I used to be, but they are still really gross.

Welcome Back Bryan!!!

Sooooooo I am SOOOOOOO sad that my favorite show ever, the girls next door... has ended!!!!! Holly is now on Dancing with the stars! Bridget is on Bridgest Sexiest Beaches! Kendra is getting her own reality show, Kendra coming this june! I am pumped!!!

Bry came back from Haverhill today, so after class I hung out with him for a bit. We went to his room and we went to get lunch at the town pizza place.
We had to cut our visit early because I had to work... of course... its what I always do!

My grandpa is doing very well if anyone was wondering... he had a pace maker put it and they are moving him to Christopher House Rehabilitation Center. After that, who knows. Maybe the apartment complex he was living in or maybe a nursing home.. I am pulling for the nursing home because it will be safer/ is the best option for him.

My sister got her internship... AND ITS PAID!!!!!! Congratulations! I heard a little about it, not like I understood it though... basically I think that its working with people who lost their jobs and in return lost their homes and trying to get them what they deserve???? Not sure if that's correct but it may be... HA!

So today I found out that I am not a shy person, BUT I tone down my personality to please the others around me. For instance, at work when corporate comes in, although at times I do work for corporate, I tone down. I am known as the perky, bouncy, loud, eccentric, funny, BLONDE one. When corporate comes in, I have to "censor" myself. It is kind of annoying having to censor yourself, I mean I say whats on my mind and whatever, if people don't like it deal with it.

I wrote up my resume yesterday, because I am looking at a vet tech job. My friend Ethan works at the Paxton Animal Hospital and I mentioned I was changing my major to vet science, he said a girl at the animal hospital was going on maternity leave and to send in my resume. I have experience both with animals and with people. So I am pretty excited... fingers crossed people!!!!! Wish me luck!!
Also, I am going to be volunteering once a week at the Sterling Animal Shelter. It has a no kill policy unless the animal actually needs to be due to medical reasons. I am so excited... I cannot wait to share my experiences with all of you!

Currently watching: Jon and Kate Plus 8... LOVE this show!!
Current mood: pretty happy

TJS <3 love forever.

Today was a very sad day for us. My sister is home on spring break from Law School, and she went to visit my grandfather at his retirement home. Well, she got there, went to his room and found my grandpa unresponsive with his head down in his chair. She shook him and said grandpa are you okay? He was able to respond saying cant breathe get help, so she pressed the button and she went and yelled for help while the nurses came. Paramedics showed up and brought him to Memorial Hospital. For the past 3 weeks, once a week, his congestive heart failure begins. Now, CHF is not known to be fatal, you can live for quite some time with it. But once a week for 3 weeks is not a good sign. My poor sister had to experience it , seeing our grandfather like it. Everyone had comments like, Oh meghan its too bad you weren't there. Yeah I do know how to do some things due to my emt-basic course and my first responder course, nursing classes etc.. but still.. what an awful thing to say during this time. My sister did everything she COULD have done. In that situation I would have done the same thing. She shook him, she yelled for help and pressed the button for help.
Now, we are thinking that a nursing home is the best bet. We were giving him quality of life, but... that may not even be possible due to the the past few weeks. At this rate it can only get worse, once a week for 3 weeks is VERY frequent. I have prepared myself, maybe not fully because with this situation I am still very vulnerable, we all are. I love my grandpa more than anything and all I want is the suffering to stop. I love him and I love seeing him and hanging out with him. He is a really cool guy with a lot of stories. I wish that I had listened more when I was younger, I wish that I hadn't been so neglectful and maybe gone to see him more often. This situation definitly opens up your eyes. I have never been there before besides losing my greatgrandmother when I was 8 or so. Man, I feel so wierd right now... this is crazy..

Pink Pink you Suck the original

Alright, so for my sister's 23rd birthday and my cousin's 12th birthday my family got together for a bday party. I got her a black tank top and a nice black shirt to go over it. Anyway, so my grandma was talking to my 3 year old cousin Amelia and they were rhyming like yellow yellow kiss a fellow, green green your mean, and then my grandma goes pink pink and Amelia lets out, "YOU SUCK!!" My grandma immediately looked at me and I am dying laughing and assured her that I heard it too. So my mom walked in the room and we told her and she said , "no she didn't" so my grandma goes PINK PINK, and amelia says again, "YOU SUCK"!! Oh I love my family.

While everyone cleaned up, Amelia and I hung out and did a "photo shoot". Here we are...

pink pink you suck!

So, It has been a while since I have last posted a blog. Since there will be many new adventures coming up this year, I figured why not start up my blog again. In case you don't know me too well, I am Meg and my boyfriend is Bryan.. we have been together on and off for about 7 years. He goes to Woo State for History and I am going to Becker for vet science. I currently work at Papa Ginos, have for the past 5 years. I am trying to work at the Paxton Vet Hospital, I think it would be a great opportunity. I have done some many unusual things so far: took an EMT-Basic course, took a first responder course, volunteered at animal shelters (kinda normal), coached cheerleading in high school with some friends at Forrest Grove Middle School, and I am trying to do everything I feel like. For instance, I wanted to learn how to play the bongos so for Christmas I got Bongos. I love them they are soooooo coool. My next adventure is trying to get a BMX bike!! Yeah!!
So, over the next few months you will see me at my high points, my lowest points, and you will be able to view my family and friends and what we do on a "normal" basis.
