Albuquerque day 8 [imported from Myspace]

When I got out of bed this morning I found a cute note on the kitchen table from Kimberly.
"Erin,
Good morning. I have to work today 12-5. Ryan will walk home & has the garage remote. He'll be here around 3:30. If you need anything call my cell 505-***-2206. Have a great day
Love your sis,
Kimberly"
She's so good to me. And the word "good" had dots in the o's and a smile under, making it a smiley face in the word. Which brings me to the next part of my day. Sorta. After a bit of t.v. Anthony and Ryan got home around the same time and we went to the Hallmark store to find gifts for Kimberly's birthday(which is tomorrow). She'll be 32 and she thinks she's old.
Every year Anthony gets her a "painted pony". It's some sort of Native American art. They sell them at this Hallmark store here.
Ryan got her some musical card(which I begged him not to) and some dog charm pin or something.
I think mine was the best. There is a gift line called "Angel Wings" and I got her a steel statuette($15) which came with one free set of wings and I bought a second set of wings($4). They attach magnetically to the back of the angel statue and have a special meaning. The "birthday" wings are lavender colored with a silver glitter lining and the poem with them says "This birthday angel was sent To shine her happiness on you As you celebrate your special day Today and all year through." and I got "thank you" wings which were also lavender and had a gold glitter lining and the poem with those was "Thank you for always being The first to show you care You're an angel with kindness You're always ready to share". I picked up a small gift bag that was displayed with this stuff and was the perfect size for it all. It also had the brand name printed on it.
When we got home I watched more t.v. and vegged out in LaVaun's room. When Kimberly got home we went to Walmart to pick up some dye for her hair. She had lots of little blond streaks and her roots were showing about 2 or 3 inches so she picked out a color close to her natural shade.
When we got back from Walmart it was almost 7pm and I got excited for American Idol but when we turned it on to the Fox network it was The Moment of Truth. The controversial episode that ruined the contestant's marriage. We had dinner while we watched that. Meatloaf. Kimberly made me promise to try it. It was from a frozen type dinner thing that you just had to microwave so it didn't taste like real meatloaf. That's why I was able to eat it. 2 small loaves. They were really small. It's not like I was pigging out.
I pretty much just watched t.v. the rest of the night and maxed out my cell phone battery on the internet. I really dreadfully miss the full version of the internet. And I hope people miss me. I'll be terribly sad if no one does.
I'm finishing my night with X-Files. That leaves me going to bed at 1am if I turn off the t.v. after this episode. Out for now!
