The Realities of Miss Bethie

Random Ramblings

First, please send more thoughts and prayers to Boe and his family. Those from the Weight Watchers board may remember Boe from my ski trip. The brave, handsome boy, whom we all knew was terminal, but still said he felt like the luckiest kid on earth because of the ski trip. He passed away this weekend. I can't think about the candle lighting ceremony without tearing up about his attitude and strength.

My brother has been having what we considered minor health problems--chronic sinus problems. He had an MRI today, and there is a growth in his sinuses. The doctor insisted that he come back this week and have it looked at more closely. He hasn't had any other signs, so let's just hope it is some benign little cyst, or something.

It is a little after 8:00, and no word from Beamer, however, he tends to call later, so I am not freaked--yet. I have a house warming for a co-worker in 3 weeks. I am the only singleton who will be there. If Beamer and I are still dating, would it be too soon to ask him to chaperone me? He lives very close to where the party will be, so I thought I could tell him a couple of hours there, then back to his place for a few more hours.

Too bad we didn't have plans tonight, because I just had my hair cut and some highlights and lowlights put in. It is looking sassy. Of course, I also had my brows waxed, and they are a little pink. Maybe it is just as well. Besides, my hair will get messed up in the humidity of the hot tub, anyway.

IM-guy has fallen off the face of the planet. We haven't talked, chatted, whatever, for days now. Since he returned to St. Louis last Wednesday. I checked his Match profile, and he hadn't been active on it for 5 days, but he did get on it some time late last night, or today. I was about to start checking obituaries. I assumed he was either out of town for the holiday weekend--most likely with a chickee, or out of town on work again. Who knows. I sort of care, but not enough to actually try to call him.

My phone has been on the fritz, and yesterday it died. I am sure it was just the battery, but I have misplaced the charger. And the only way I could get it to charge in my car was if the engine was on. I was able to charge it, luckily, in my mom's car. I cannot be without my cellphone, people!
I went to Cingular, who bought out AT&T, and, after the two 18 year olds bickered over who had to wait on me, they told me they had no batteries.
I mentioned my reception, once so awesome, now sucks.
Yeah, because I have an AT&T phone. I should really buy a Cingular. They are better, anyway.
I want the same phone.
They have a similar phone much better than the crappy one I have now.
I want my ringtone and numbers and messages I have stored.
Sorry, can't do that.
Let's just look.
OH! Wait! You have a Go Phone? You really need a contract. You really should get one.
You really should plan on going back to school and getting your GED.
Sure, I was bitchy, but only because he was such a putz to begin with. I am going to check out Batteries Plus later this week and see what they can do for me, which I hope doesn't include insulting me or being condescending towards me.

There is more I had on my mind today, but now I am tired and I still have a ton of work to do, which, of course, I am willing to overlook should Beamer call. ;)

  • Oh, Beth, I am so sorry to hear this about Boe. His family and you are in my thoughts.

  • I was expecting it, but it still rocked my world.
    I came home and tearfully told my mom about it, only to have the follow up about my brother's sinuses.
    I am due for good news though, right?
