No Name Post #2

I've managed to pry myself away from the XBox for a few minutes to post. NFL STREET 2 is just outrageous. I've been playing that game since I got it about 2 weeks ago. Playing the game has allowed me to keep my mind off of some of the things that have occurred within the last month.

Things are going about as well as they can be going...considering that it's only a few days into the New Year.

I'm settled back into my home. I've stayed at my grandmother's house for the past 2 1/2 weeks because of my uncle's death. I helped with the funeral planning & stuff. I also helped with the estate settlements. Keeping busy with that stuff helped me to keep from being sad that my uncle is dead. I've managed to deal with his passing pretty well. It hit hard at first because he lived with us (my parents & children) for most of my life. It feels weird not having him around anymore.

On a humorous note...

I've been spooking myself out big time. My doorbell has been ringing by itself, and I'm trying to convince myself that it's not my uncle ringing the doorbell to get my attention. I watched this tv program about a haunted house, and I stayed up all night because I was afraid to go to sleep. I sat on my couch huddled up in a ball with my eyes scanning the room...you know...just in case something shows up. Then I kept imagining that my uncle was hiding in the bathroom. LOL. Yea...I know I have issues.

Last night, my cousins & I went to my uncle's apartment to gather the rest of his belongings. While, I was in the apartment, my uncle's girlfriend (yo...she CUT UP at the funeral. Details later) said, "My baby said hello and you all didn't even say hi." I began looking around to see if her daughter was there. I didn't hear anyone say hello when I entered, so I was like "What?" She repeated that her baby said hello. I wasn't going to argue with this woman. I was already upset with her because of the way she acted at my uncle's funeral, so I said hello.

She says, "Turn to him & say hello girl. That's your uncle." She pointed the funeral program (she had it blown up & framed) with my uncle's face on it. If looks could kill, then she would've been dead. I gave her one of those, "Are you out of your mind?" looks. She was dead serious. I didn't say anything. My cousin Tanya was laughing.

My cousin mentioned that she wanted to take my uncle's ashes and scatter them over the ocean in Florida (My uncle's favorite place). His girlfriend began to talk about how much my uncle hated water. My cousin & I rebutted her by saying that my uncle loved being close to the ocean. He loved swimming. That's all he did when he was younger. She says, "Oh he lied to me." She turns to the picture of my uncle and says, "I can't believe you lied to me. Me & You are going to have it out tonight in bed." My cousin Andy gets up off the couch, and says, "This *edit* chick is nuts. I'm gone go sit in the car."

I was trying not to laugh. The girlfriend saw me laughing though. She said, "I know you all think I'm crazy." I said, "I believe you've been sippin the happy juice." My cousin Tonya fell out laughing. What else was I to say to her? I really didn't have any kind words for her after she performed at my uncle's funeral. She acted a fool. She fell out and everything. Her actions were tasteless and out of place. No one else (including family members) acted up. We were sad & we cried, but we didn't fall out or anything.

This chick wore a short mini skirt (showing all her business) and was tongue kissing my uncle's dead body! Talk about insane. My aunt had her removed from the funeral. That's how crazy she acted. I told my aunt that had there been a graveside service for my uncle, I would've pushed that heffer in the grave with him. LOL. So yea...it was classless, tasteless...and any of less you can think of. It upset me, it upset my little cousins and above all that it upset my grandmother. For that, she gets the big "L". No, not Loser, but LOONY.

I am sorry to hear about your uncle as well, BUT that girlfriend of his gave me a pretty good laugh today. Some people?!

Whoa! Your uncle's girlfriend is outta control. I'm surprised that you're still speaking to her, considering all that went down.

I KNOW this wasn't supposed to be a funny but the thought of your uncle's girlfriend expecting you to talk to a blown up picture of him is hilarious. AND...tongue kissing a dead person just isn't right.

But I am truly sorry about your uncle honey.

Take care
