Here I am

I can't seem to find time to write on this blog. Not that I don't have the time. I just have better things to do.
My friend Bruce has moved in with me. He was in rehab for a few months and now is out. Seems to be doing just fine. He had worked with me at my old job where I got laid off. He was laid off too, but didn't take it too well. I guess he just used it as an excuse to get blitzed every day. He also spent all of his money.
He was a very mean drunk. And he wasn't too nice sober back then either. Now he is a joy to be around. I hope it continues.
I have been having some feelings towards him. We dated a few years back and it was just awful. Now I'm not sure what to do. My mind says one thing, but my heart says another. It's just hard to forget all the bad times.
Well, the day is finally here tomorrow. Granny, mom and I are going to sell Granny's house. It is so sad. I really wish we would keep the house. My grandparents lived in the house since it was build in the '50's. My mom grew up there and so did I basically. It hurts even more b/c the buyer is planning to bull doze the house and put up a strip mall. How cliche!!
We are going to have salvage rights, which means we can take anything we want from the house once the tenant leaves in a few months. I am no NOT handy and I don't know what to do. I really want to take the kitchen cabinets, but I'm not sure how to take them out or how to install them in my house. There are many other things I'd like to take, but I'm not sure how to do it. We also have appliances to sell...kinda hard when you live two hours away.
In other news, I am going to the Kathy Griffin concert tomorrow night. She is so funny. I never miss her Bravo show. She is so offensive, it is great! I am going with Susie, who is offended at odd things, so I hope she doesn't ruin my evening.
Next I'll make plans to go to St. Louis to visit Rob and Jenn. I leave Sept. 6 and will watch the first Saints game of the season with them.
All for now.
