So I was going to repost an old entry about Abortion that I had written in my last Xanga site and had saved on myspace, but I just received and email from my dad's girlfriend saying that my cousin Nick, who I didn't really know that well and haven't seen in years died in his apartment around last Thursday or so. According to her it was a few days before anyone found him in his apartment. She didn't specify how. But it's really sad because he was young. About my age. I forget if he's a little older or younger than I am. It's just really sad.

My dad is still in prison for another 2 weeks or so, but according to Kelly, his girlfriend she thinks they will let him out for the funeral and I may or may not hear from him. She thinks he'll probably take advantage of this time out and give me a call before or after the funeral if he can. Maybe. And she provided me with my Grandmother Caroline's phone number and my Aunt Theresa's (Nick's mother)

I think I might want to send a card or something. I feel like if I call it will be awkward. It' s been ages since I've spoken to any of them.

Death makes me sad. Whether it's someone I know and in my family or not. :(

The bedroom as of now. Kinda makes you wonder where the bed is going to fit huh?
There is a little bit more room than the pictures show. (Just enough room for a full sized bed....that's about it...)

Well today has certainly been eventful...

Have you ever noticed, often when rearranging things, it takes making a bigger mess first, before things actually get clean? LOL, that was kinda our day while working on "Project: Bedroom" and preparing for our brand new bed! It's so exciting! Our room no longer looks like a storage shed (ignore the huge washer and dryer by the window covered in tarp) but more like a BEDROOM! Well, starting to. It's getting there. A few more things to finish tomorrow.

Billy didn't really want to clean today, but he was never negative about it. He just had that "Awe man, do we gotta?" kinda look. But he was great! I was really only planning on doing the bedroom. Get all the boxes moved off the dresser and into the closet. Which of course meant, taking everything OUT of the closet and moving things around to make more room. (That's about when the mess started)

But once we got everything rearranged in the closet in the bedroom, he helped with putting socks and underwear away and what such and then voluntarily cleaned up the entry closet and put all his military things in there. I'm so proud. I think he actually enjoyed helping me today and I'm so proud about everything that got done.

Still not finished though. More to do tomorrow. And once we get our new bed up, I'll post pictures. Because I know you all want to see pictures of my bed! "OMG BED!"...like you totally have never seen one before. I'm sure you can take a look in your bedroom and get the general idea of what ours might look like. But just the same. Pictures soon to come!
