Mom called about 15 min ago to tell me that Ma-Maw passed away and I don't know what to do.

Hubby was on his way to see his dad, since his step-mother passed away yesterday so he's turned around to come back here.
I'm going to head to work here in a few to let them know what's going on and see what if anything they can do schedule wise. I have no idea how long I'm going to be down there or what we're going to do. Truthfully I'm just kind of numb right now.

I talked to my mom earlier today and my grandmother is not doing well. She was on hospice for awhile and she got better. They took her off hospice because she was doing ok and then today.... Mom got a call from the hospice nurse saying that they'd called her back in. My grandmother is essentially comatose at this point. She is on oxygen but other than 2 shakes (think Ensure, Boost...) yesterday she hasn't actually eaten anything since Tuesday.

I asked my mom if it was bad that I'm actually kind of hoping this is it and she said no. She has been in a nursing home for around 7 years and mentally she hasn't been herself for about 5 of those years. In the last year or two its gotten worse, she doesn't know who anyone is and most of the time she would sit in her wheelchair with her eyes closed/asleep while someone feeds her. The only good thing is that she doesn't know what's going on because she would hate that she's living like this.

Daniel Jackson.... Smallville LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am just dying laughing right now. Hubby and I are sitting here watching SG Continuum and the weather bug on the desktop started chirping. That usually means a weather advisory/warning so I pulled up the weather on the laptop and lo and behold they're predicting 3-5 inches of snow for us overnight into tomorrow. This is just totally out of nowhere and I'm hoping that neither of us have trouble getting to/from work tomorrow.

This was a good weekend tho. We got our new bedframe yesterday and put it together last night. I finally found me some roller skates. Yes, regular old boring skates. I can't stand up in the darn roller blades. LOL I found several places online but I wanted to try them on and good thing too. I actually fit a 10 rather than an 11, which is what I would have gotten if I'd ordered it online...so yeah, a good thing.

We went down to KC yesterday to Zona Rosa and just window shopped for several hours. Hubby wanted out of town for the day and it was nice just to be able to look around and goof off.

All I can say about V and this isn't a spoiler since it holds true for the original series too... if it seems too good to be true it usually is.

I'm going to give the new one a chance, Morena and Alan (\0/) the new one is kind of like comparing the original BSG and the remake. The original was totally campy and the remake is not. So I'm going to wait and see how it goes.

*hunts for V icon*

Ok, wtf? TrekExpo already has several guests and ticket prices up already. The reason this is so confusing to me is that other than a few guests, nothing was really posted last year until maybe 2 months before the con and here it is 8 months away and they're already to the point of posting several guests:
Shatner
Michael Dorn
Mark Sheppard
Eugene Roddenberry
Gowron and Martok
Garrett Wang
Gary Lockwood
Keir Dullea

Which for Trek Expo seems like an amazing list especially this early. Hubby has already said he wants a photo op with Gary Lockwood and Keir Dullea from 2001.

Jackson Rathbone's ep of Criminal Minds is on tonight!!!
It just started!!!!!!!!! LOL

Amanduh..... LOL

Has anyone else watched the first 8 minutes of the new V that popped up today?
Here's a link to abc if you need it..

I'm going to give it a chance (Morena and Alan) but it seems like they're taking it so seriously and the original was so campy, which is a lot of what I enjoyed about it. LOL

I'm also wondering if they're going to have any cameo's by any of the cast from the original series? Anyone heard anything on that at all???

I just watched Children of Earth. I know its been out a while, but the hubby and I just took the time to sit down and watch all 5 in a row.

It was a very good series but very dark. I already knew about the MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH that happened in ep 4, so it was sad and a few tears were shed but not that unexpected. I totally had not heard about what happened toward the end of ep 5 with Jack sacrificing Steven. As good as the entire series was that just ruined the whole thing for me. I know that Jack made the only decision he could to save everyone but DAMN! that was just kind of screwed up. If I had known about that happening I don't know that I would have watched it truthfully.

Heaven forbid someone should ever get to be happy. This kind of reminds me of Joss Whedon's stuff.

Johnny Fever is on the guest list for next year's D*C. LOL
