I can finally think of Miss Bailey Sue without crying my eyes out every 10 minutes. When I went to church yesterday, everybody greeted me with hugs and tears, and ever since then I feel much better. I guess I just needed to get it out in person, rather than on the phone or in cyberspace.

I'm doing pretty good at work today, too. I'm actually working!! I haven't done that in a while. Every so often I look at the picture of Misty and Bailey that I have on my desk and smile at the thought of what good buddies they were.

I still haven't heard from my mom. That one stings quite a bit. I know, I know... I should know better than to depend on her to show any type of sympathy, empathy, or comfort. But I am still somebody's child after all.

I am amazed at the support system I have, both online and in person. People have just been absolutely awesome to me, including those that have said, "I don't know what to say..." The smallest gestures can go quite a long way. That's why I'm sure I'm even more upset about my Mom. Even if she doesn't know what to say, then how about sending me an email saying, "I'm thinking about you."

But I digress...
How about that game yesterday? Wow, I'm sure Steelers and Cardinals fans alike were going crazy. Is anybody really a Cardinals fan? Or were people just pulling for the Cardinals because they're sick of the Steelers? Even people I know that live in Arizona are transplants from somewhere else, so they aren't even really Cardinals fans either. I wasn't really pulling for one team over the other. I have more Steelers fans on my f/l (because nobody is a Card's fan), but I usually pull for the underdog. And the QB on the Cards is better looking. But I didn't care one way or the other.

I stayed home but watched bits and pieces, especially as quarters came to an end because I had to see if my honey won anything. And he did. :) Of course gambling is illegal, so he just won the satisfaction of winning. *cough* bullshit *cough*

Otherwise I watched my guilty pleasure, "Americas Next Top Model" on Oxygen, where every Sunday they are rerunning the seasons. Even though I have seen them each 10,000 times, I like laughing at Tyra when she talks about how she was all that, and when she smiles with her eyes it looks EXACTLY THE SAME!! lmao... See, I laughed!!

I'm glad you're feeling better.

I had to laugh when you questioned "Is anybody really a Cardinals fan". Seriously. Personally, I don't like NFL teams that come from warm weather states. I like smashmouth football in the snow. It's a sport for cold climates. In the same way, southern hockey teams piss me off.

I was looking forward to the game and the half time show, but spent the whole day in bed and on the bathroom floor dying of virus death.

I'm glad to hear that you do have support, and I'm sorry you're mom hasn't contacted you.

How did the donation thing go at church a while back? I know you were excited about it, and I think I forgot to ask.

I'm trying to think of the donation thing... with the coats and clothes and stuff for the homeless?

The church was trying to get into so many different things, but there's still only about 20 people attending every week, so they've narrowed it down to the troubled teens for now and will expand from that.

It's nice that you can smile again.

The party I was at, which was in PA, had no one rooting for the Steelers. Kind of surprising. It was a great game regardless of the outcome. Though I personally felt they should have at least reviewed that fumble call at the end of the game. It looked like an incomplete pass to me.

Wow, I'm surprised that the people were cheering for the Cardinals in their own homestate.
