30 December 2002

Vacation is almost over, this morning when I woke up I wished that it would never end, but by the end of the night I was ready to send my sister to some deserted island and never have her come back again.

When I got to Lander Marine today I finished up the work on the brown books that I had started yesterday. When dad left to go to the chiropractor at 3 I had him take me home so that I could enter all the stuff from the brown books into QuickBooks so mom could send out Invoices after we left and things settled down.

Of course as I was doing that I was checking my email and waiting for Nathan to see if he would show up so we could chat while he checked his email. When I had finished doing all of Lander Marine’s stuff I logged off the computer and started scanning the photos that Jennifer wanted mom to print out so she would work on her scrapbook when we got back up to Grand Forks. If that wasn’t annoying and time consuming I don’t know what is, but I guess it gave me something to fill the many hours that I was to be stuck sitting at the house with nothing to do because I had no car, no bicycle, no wheels of any kind to move myself around town and do any of the things that I would have liked to do while I was home.

Jennifer worked for about 30 minutes today and then took off because one of her H.S. friends was coming up from Colorado to visit with everyone and they were meeting at Tony’s for pizza. When she got home she told me that her friends sister had come up and asked about me, since we graduated together and hung out with the same group of people. Once again Jennifer’s I am the only person who exists syndrome hit and she didn’t even think to call and say hey Crista, Mimi is down here at Tony’s with us you should come down. While she was having a great time with half of her graduating class they decided to do a movie night together.

Jennifer came home actually asked permission to go out after dinner but didn’t like the curfew she was given so stormed out of the house and slammed the door. She didn’t come home until 1am, 2 ½ hours after she was supposed to be home. But she felt so good about herself for the first time in a really long time because a boy actually paid attention to her and it wasn’t Johnny just getting benefits when he wanted them and telling Jennifer to take a hike when she wanted them.

And so the drama begins.
