I hope they got there in time

My parents left about 6:20 this morning heading to the train station to meet the bus to Laughlin. At 6:20 they should have been there already, not just leaving the apartment. When I woke up at 6 am I was expecting them to be leaving, not just getting dressed. I wasn't even going on the trip and I was paranoid they'd be left. Not because Brad's coming over, but because being left behind is a fear I always have when trip are involved. Hell, when I depend on someone else as my transportation, I have that fear of being left. I so was like, "you guys are gonna be late! you have to go!" So they finally left. My mom barely said goodbye, and if she did, I didn't hear her. LOL

I'm checking Carnival's website and I'm hoping the amount due has gone down from $390, if not, I need to call and ask someone what's going on. edit: it's still at $390. I gave my brother the payment information 3 or 4 weeks ago, plenty of time for him to pay. If he has paid, I don't know why it's not being updated on the Carnival site. I know that from my adding extra things (pre-paid gratuities) the amount was going to go down but "stay the same" at the same time. But why is it at $390 when my brother has had a month to pay his share? Assuming that my sister told him he didn't have to pay $200 (which I know is something she'd do!) I can break the remaining payments into 2 payments of $80 and 2 payments of $40...then I'm never doing anything big with my brother and sister (mostly sister) again. Final cruise payment is due July 19th. I wanted it paid off before then so that I could have the cruise documents in hand to give to my parents when I tell them about it. I need to tell my dad in the next few weeks that he needs to get a passport. Considering how the family funds are, that's going to be hard for him to do. Fuck!

I need to get dressed. Brad isn't due until about 11 am, but my mom told me I needed to take a book to the library today because it's due today. Leaving now will allow for me NOT to walk in the heat of later in the day. I can also stop by my bank and get some money out, though not too much since the check to the vet is still out, and Friday night Lora and I go to ticketmaster for baseball tickets.

I'll be back sometime tomorrow.

I don't watch that many movies!

Especially not when it'll cost me more than $50/month!

Yesterday (Saturday) And Then There Were None, Aladdin and the King of Theives, and An Inconvient Truth came. I was too tried to start any of them seeing at how it was after 1 am when I got home. Then today, after church (update about that and the zoo tomorrow) I started Aladdin and the King of Theives but I kid you not, fell asleep at 4:30 and didn't wake up until 11 pm! 6 1/2 hours of sleep! I would have gone longer but my parents were arguing. My dad has a habit of eating or throwing away food that's sitting out, when clearly it looks like it's been eaten on. So my mom was pissed he threw out or ate a sandwich she made. I don't know. it was something. I got woken up. BTW, I'll have pictures to post tomorrow from the zoo and Easter.

Brad's spending the night Wednesday night. I hesitated saying anything because I know people don't like him. But he's making and effort and that's more than he did before. I'm finding that when I think he's NOT calling, he actually IS! Today I checked my voicemail on my cell phone. Wow! 6 messages from him six different days (not in a row or anything like that) saying that he was thinking of me, knew I was busy and that I probably wouldn't get to call him back, but that he would see and talk to me later. AND he's making even more of an effort to actually follow through with it (ie getting online right before either of us head to bed to see how my day was and to tell me he can't wait to see me). So last week sometime I invited him to my graduation and he accepted! That made me so happy too. I told him that I had to work that day, but that my dad/my parents and I would be by to pick him up. He said okay and to remind him as it got closer.

It's almost midnight. I need to end this, heat up my last piece of pizza and finish Aladdin Prince of Theives. If I'm still not tired I'll put on
And Then There Were None.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter or a nice Sunday.
