WOW

So many new memories and emotions are flowing...maybe this post will be so confusing that no one will understand but I will. I'm just gonna let my fingers talk....

Driving around doing some last minute holiday shopping...go figure. I do not like this East Michigan traffic. Never go out after 3pm around here or it will take to 30min to go 1 mile. No joke.

I've been seeing a lot of out of state liscense plates. Families visiting families for the holidays. I only wish that there was one out of state plate sitting in my drive way. There is one plate that I wish would be at my grandma's on the days that I drive over there. But there never is. There hasn't been for years. Maybe if my Poppa was around things would be different, he would be more apped to come home, but then again maybe not. I can't imagine or play the "what if" game I can only live and remember that the one person I would really want here this Chirstmas will not be here. He is the same one that has let me down in the past year....not coming home for my graduation party.

He only means this much because he was there when I was growing up. He was the nest uncle ever....we were his favorite neices. Spolied by him. But now he is just my uncle on my shit list as my grandma says.....(he's on hers also) But somehow this Christmas I would love for him to be here. I will not forgive him if he did come now, but I would maybe be happy. If only I could see the TN plate when I pulled into my grandmas condo complex....for him to surprise us would be the best part of him coming.

Anyway, got way to much to accompish for Christmas.

My best friend is coming home in 4 days!!!! I havent seen her since I was at her house early July helping her pack at 12am the morning she was leaving. So excited for her to come home.

But here's something else to ponder. I was just watching the news and barely into the 11pm news they announce a bank closing. Weird that my econ class was just talking about this. Even weirder it was my bank on the news. My bank has closed...will reopen and then close offically.

I did not actually think about the recession or whatever we are calling this downfall of the economy but tonight I am actually thinking about it. One day I'll be able to share my experiences in this economy with my class and with my kids. I have experience with FDIC takeover of banks and what will happen. Is it a good story/experiece...not at all. I love my bank but I guess this gives me a reason to finally close my accounts and take all my money to Allendale after the 1st of the year, which does not consist of anything.

Til later...
