Today one of the varsity cheerleaders from my daughter's school was killed in a car accident. I don't know the whole story yet but the gossip circulating amongst the teenagers is that she 'borrowed' the car to go visit her boyfriend very, very early this morning and on the way home the police attempted to pull her over. She only had a learner's permit so she tried to evade the police and lost control of the car. All the freshman cheerleaders are assigned a 'Big Sister' from the varsity squad and this girl was Meredith's. I can't even imagine what her parents are going through. It was all so completely avoidable.
I got the invitation to Cyn's wedding today. I'm very happy she's finally found someone she wants to spend her life with but it looks increasingly like I won't be able to afford to go to the ceremony. Mer's grandmother on her dad's side might be able to get me a buddy pass for the airline she used to work at but I'd still have to come up with money for a hotel and food, etc... Maui's not known for it's budget friendliness. Meredith really wanted to go because she saw a picture of Cyn's brother and she thinks he's TOTALLY HAWT! Granted, he is less than four years older than her but its kind of disturbing to have my kid drooling over my friend's little brother. Although it's not as bad as the oogy feeling I got when Mer decided she wanted to marry a guy I used to date when I was in high school. Never, ever letting her near him. I swear the girl is trying to kill me - or at the very least, make me puke.
I'll be stuck in a boring training class for the next two days. I've taken it before but my old boss wanted me to take the updated version. Now I can't get out of it even though my new boss doesn't care. I can't even bring my laptop; it's all bookwork and lecturing. Grumble grumble.
I can't seem to get any writing done. I've been trying to work on Anniversary. I know what's going to happen next, I just can't seem to transfer it into words. It wouldn't be so bad if I could be productive on one of my other stories but all avenues of creativity seem to be jammed at the moment.
On the plus side - one hour and fifteen minutes until The Shield comes on. It's killing me that they are manipulating Lem. I just want to go whip Forest Whitaker's ass. I'll tell him where he can stick his piece of gum!
