Carah Had the Baby!

had the baby around 1:40pm today. She went into labor around 7am. They named him Tyler Robert Steele. He was 7.7lbs and 19 inches long.  So far I’ve only seen pictures because I had to today, but he’s adorable. He has a full head of dark black hair. Hopefully, I’ll get to see him Tueday since I have to work again tomorrow… damn 10 hour shifts dominate almost my whole day.


Life After 30

3 years ago
in , , , ,

All aspects of my life are going fabulous; quite a change from the constant turmoil of the past several years. My career is progressing well, my home life is satisfying, I have great and (with a few exceptions), things have heated up in the romantic arena, and the is finally getting the ball rolling with the complaint I filed against .

It has taken some getting used to, but I am accepting the good things as they come. I am genuinely happy, and it is a huge relief to know it’s not the fake of a manic or hypomanic episode. I have found stability, on my own.

With a little help from my favorite herb I have clawed my way back from the depths of the black hole of , which wasn’t an easy task by far, but it has made me even stronger and I am proud of myself. Of course my life isn’t perfect, but nothing ever is in reality.

My 30th Birthday Party

My birthday was Sunday, May 3rd, but I had the party Saturday night. I had a great time. However, two people that I care about didn’t attend – (my brother) and . had to the overnight shift, so I understood and it wasn’t a big deal. I knew he’d make it up to me later. My brother wasn’t informed of the event or invited. I didn’t invite him for a couple reasons: we haven’t spoken since February and he would have brought the lazy, lying, manipulative, spiteful bitch/cunt he married and I don’t want her toxic ass anywhere near me. I kept it small because I have more with people I am comfortable around. The attendees were , , , , Andy, Lisa, Tim, Dena, Matt, and Jeremy. Around 3am a most unlikely and unexpected person showed up… .

Andy and Jeremy were the first ones to arrive. They were pretty early and called it the VIP party. We started drinking Absinthe and Jager bombs after we broke in Andy’s new dual vaporizer. We were pretty damned buzzed by the time everyone else starting showing up. They caught up pretty quick. We were playing the Godfather on PS2 when Dan arrived. Then we moved on to Guitar Hero World Tour. Andy tried to sing, Dan showed off his expert guitar skills, and Jeremy and I took turns playing bass and guitar. No one was coordinated enough to try the drums.

Lisa and Tim came after the Blues Traveler concert and they had the most catching up to do. Everyone was shitfaced by the time they got here. Lisa made me drink more with her, so I drank the most out of everyone. Andy ended up passing out on the loveseat and Jeremy prayed to the porcelain god a few times. I held my liquor very well, didn’t get pissed off at anyone, didn’t and cut, and didn’t puke. Go me!

Dudney was drunker than everyone and blacked out. I don’t know if he started texting Nick or if Nick texted him first, but he asked me if I knew where to get some bud for Nick. I hadn’t spoken to Nick since the whole fiasco last autumn. I had no intention of doing him any favors and told Dudney no. Shortly thereafter he came back into my room and handed me his phone. It was Nick.

Pawpa's 71st Birthday

in , ,

Yesterday was my grandpa’s 71st birthday. Some of the got together to celebrate it last night after I got off . We had a nighttime winter cookout complete with a bottle of Crown Royal, marijuana, and a birthday cake. Our family has never really been conventional. No one got intoxicated; we just had a couple shots and hits with to celebrate his birthday.

Those of us who bothered to show up (my uncles – Don and Brad, my Great-Aunt Nita, cousin Brad Jr, Brad’s girlfriend, Granny, and of course – Pawpa) ate, laughed, joked, talked, and had a good time together. A few of the no-shows had a good excuse: , , , Kailyn, and Chase were sick and Ed had to work. Dena and her (Jacob, Taylor, and Tristan) didn’t go because Dena found out about it too late; she figured we would postpone it until this weekend and celebrate her birthday the same time. Everyone else ditched for either shitty or unknown reasons.
