Diane
Today I am waiting.
Waiting for news on my very best friend's mom, Diane, (above in the picture with Marie's daughter, Mikala). Those of you who read my blog are mostly my family, so you know who my friend Marie is. She was the one who went walking with me when I borrowed newborn Cassie from Nana. We took Cassie in her stroller across the neighborhood to show her to Marie's mom, Diane. We were gone an hour, and when we got back, Nana was sooooo relieved! She didn't know WHAT took us so long.
Diane had been making Cassie laugh. Cassie never cried the whole time.
Marie was in my wedding. She saved the day when she had M&Ms in her boobs to give to my flower girl, Autumn when Autumn was being loud.
I've known Marie since she and I were in 3rd grade. We met in 1980 when we moved here from Corona, CA. She was the first little girl I met when Jenn and I went down to the bus stop. She is the blogger who used to do the, "What Do You Think?" blog.
Marie and I used to play together every summer, but we got really close in junior high. I spent endless summer days and nights there at her house. I became very close to her folks.
Diane became like a second mom to me, and I love her very much.
Last Thursday, January 3, 2008, Diane had a heart attack. Her husband Ron had to do CPR on her. She lived, but has been on a breathing machine for the last week. She had said that she never wanted to be on life support, so today they are taking her off the breathing machine. Ron had to make this decision. He has been just beside himself.
I keep asking in my head, "did she breath on her own?" "Did she die?" It doesn't look good, so it could very well be the latter.
I don't want to disturb Marie right now. I haven't called her. I know what it's like to watch someone die right in front of you. Everyone who was there when Greg died, knows what I'm talking about.
So all I can do is wait. Wait to cry or be elated. Just waiting, with a deep sadness.
I love you, Diane. I always will.

Is Anybody Still There?
Hey, people! Thought I'd write, today.
I'm not going to try and catch everyone up about what's happened in my life since I have written last. I'm just gonna write what comes to mind.
Heaven has been so wonderful to have around! She is just so little and tiny and freakin' SMART! Yesterday, she was feeding herself bananas with a spoon! I think I remember another baby who took over feeding herself, it was, uh, me! This little gal is so awake! She knows she's alive, and she seems to know what's going on. When she is not completely happy, she will scrunch up her face and make a fake "warning" cry. She's not really crying, she's just warning you, and you better listen. She hates to be on her belly or back. She only likes sitting up or standing. She's been standing since, I believe, her first week. What a woman she'll turn out to be, eh?
My job has been going well since the asshole paralegal at my work quit. She did everything she could to get me fired, and when my boss wouldn't, she quit. She's got a worker's comp claim going now. What a bitch. We have another lady there, now. She is absolutely wonderful! She is a little older than my mom, and she is Mexican. She speaks fluent spanish, but does not even have an accent. She is very maternal towards me, and I love her back. She has two daughters slightly older than me and Jenn, so we fall right in line with each other. I am soooo happy with my job!
Christmas wasn't as good as I would've liked it to be. My back went out the week before when I woke with it out a little bit, but went Christmas shopping for four hours, anyway. By the time I woke up the next day, I was in terrible, terrible pain! I asked my dad to come and take me to the emergency room because it felt like it was on the verge of going out in a way that takes my ability to breath away, and makes me sweat. There was no way for me to get comfortable. But when dad got there, I couldn't get up into his truck. We had to call an ambulance, and I was taken by ambulance for the first time in my life.
When we got to the emergency room, they left me to stand in the waiting room for over an hour. I was clinging to the wall, crying. No one offered me a gurney or anything other than a wheelchair. I couldn't sit! I told them I couldn't sit, but they did nothing. Finally, I was taken back and was able to lie down. They gave me a shot of powerfull anti-inflamatory, and had me swallow a muscle relaxer pill. I felt better almost instantly, with that shot. But I didn't get better. By Thursday, I asked my boss if he could refer me to one of our chiropractors, (we are a personal injury office). I asked for one I could have an account with, and pay off a little at a time. My boss sent me to one of our best chiros, and told me I wouldn't have to pay. MY BOSS IS PAYING FOR ALL MY CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS!! Isn't he the just best?!! He told me I could go anytime I needed to, because the bill for each adjustment is only $35. I went three times, and I am pretty much all better, now. I just need to strengthen the muscles back there, now.
I'm sorry I haven't been writing. I almost stopped altogether. But I am always writing posts in my head, I just am always too tired to get back on the computer at night. Don't stop checking, though, folks. I'm hoping this year will give me wonderful things to write about. I'm hoping for a great year. Aren't we all?
