Funny email I received:

In most of the United States, there is a policy of checking on

any stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop

down to single digits or below.



About 3 AM, one very cold morning, Trooper Allan Nixon #658

responded to a call there was a car off the shoulder of the road

outside Shattuck . He located the car, stuck in deep snow, and with

the engine still running. Pulling in behind the car with his

emergency lights on, the Trooper walked to the driver's door to find

an older man passed out behind the wheel with a nearly empty vodka

bottle on the seat beside him.



The driver came awake when the Trooper tapped on the window.

Seeing the rotating lights in his rearview mirror, and the State

Trooper standing next to his car, the man panicked.



He jerked the gearshift into 'drive' and hit the gas. The car's

speedometer was showing 20-30-40 and then 50 mph, but it was

still stuck in the snow, wheels spinning.



Trooper Nixon, having a sense of humor, began running in place

next to the speeding, but still stationary car. The driver was

totally freaked, thinking the Trooper was actually keeping up

with him. This goes on for about 30 seconds, then the Trooper

yelled, "Pull over!"



The man obeyed, turned his wheel and stopped the engine. Needless

to say, the man from Dumas, Texas was arrested, and is probably still

shaking his head over the State Trooper in Oklahoma who could run 50

miles per hour.



Who says Trooper's don't have a sense of humor?

Blah

I have had a headache for two days! It is starting to get on my nerves. Nothing majorly excited is going on around here right now. Just taking things day by day. Oh, I think I'm addicted to Scrubs now. I have to watch it EVERYDAY. I lead a very dull life these days.
What has everyone else been up to?

Thursday, January 25, 2007

FOR THE RECORD: I have a GREAT sense of humor! Just because I didn't like that stuff that Mikey likes doesn't mean there is anything wrong with my humor! If we had been watching something like Scrubs I would've been rolling in the floor laughing. That is a funny show and JD is too cute.

Okay, now that I've cleared that up-Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. Sometimes life gets in the way. I miss JP. During the day I stay busy enough to not think about it but nights, that is a different story. I haven't been sleeping well lately. I guess it'll pass eventually. What has been going on in your life? Right now I am desperately trying to find that ding dong I hid. I need something sweet, thanks to my former partner I have no more junk food and I REALLY don't want to go shopping again.

Mike is coming over tonight to watch, I forget what he wants to watch, and eat junk food. He and I haven't spent an evening alone together in a long time. I am looking forward to it because he is always entertaining. I'll let everyone know how it goes. I have got to remember to hide a Ding Dong for Elliot. Anyway, I hope things are well with all of you.

Shopping with the Stabler

I was in the process of cleaning out the fridge when my cell rang. I started to let it go to voice mail but it was Elliot so I decided to answer. He wanted to know if I had time to get some coffee with him. He had the morning off and I guess he was bored. I told him yes if he would give me time to get cleaned up. He was an hour away so I had time.
I finished the fridge and got cleaned up. I thought it would be funny to wear my camouflage jacket just to see that look on his face. I know, I can be down right mean at times.
He got there just as I was finishing up. "Hey, that was perfect timing." He didn't say anything. He gave me a weird look, not that creepy one either, this was one I hadn't seen before. "Elliot?" Nothing. "STABLER! Are you in there?" I asked while tapping his head.
What? Yeah, I'm here, sorry.
"Is anything wrong?"
No I was surprised by your outfit, that's all.
"Oh, the jacket? Sorry, I thought it would be funny. I'll take it off."
He gave me that smile. No, it's okay. Why don't you just go ahead and keep it on?
"Umm, okay then. Are you okay?" He assured me he was fine. I didn't believe him but I let it go. He suggested we stay in for coffee instead of going out.
"As much fun as that sounds, I don't have any coffee in the house. I haven't been shopping in a long time. I am out of everything."
We debated about what to do for a few minutes. Finally we decided he would go shopping with me. I hate shopping, I thought with him along it wouldn't be as bad. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Have you ever almost been thrown out of a grocery store? I hadn't either, until now. Things were fine until we passed the cheese display. Havarti was the special of the day. "You have got to be kidding me!" It's fate baby. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. He tried to get me to buy it. I refused and reminded him that he had money too. Every aisle he found something he wanted me to buy for him. Please? "No and quit looking at me like that." He pouted until he found something else he wanted. I felt like I was shopping with my little nephew. It was fun though. I decided to use the same trick I do with the nephew, threatening to make him sit in the cart. Didn't work, he tried to climb in. I finally told him if he would be good and let me finish getting what I needed then I would buy him something. "What's wrong with you anyway?" Nothing, why? "I don't know, just feels like something is wrong." Nope. "Are you sure?" Yep. "You would tell me if anything was wrong, wouldn't you?" Probably not. Before I could respond he had spotted the ice cream and took off. I finished what I was doing and finally caught up to him. They have the birthday cake kind. "Oh goody." Buy it for me? "I hate that mess." I didn't ask you to EAT it for me. I almost didn't buy it but I remembered what I did to the quart he brought to my party. "Okay, get your ice cream." He smiled and put it in the cart. We headed to the checkout.
The ride home was uneventful. He helped me bring the bags in and offered to help me put things away. I wouldn't let him, I have this thing about putting groceries away. He ate some of his ice cream and watched me put some of the things away. He still wouldn't tell me what was bothering him and I didn't pry. He was beeped and had to leave. Before he left he hugged me and thanked me for the fun time. "Yeah, shopping is a thrill a minute." It was fun because you were there. "Be careful, I'll see you. Call if you need anything." Okay, I will. You do the same. I nodded as he left. When I finished putting my food away I found a few items I don't recall getting. Apparently he was sneakier than I thought.

I am slowly getting back to a semi-normal life. I know I couldn't get through this without the love and support of my friends so thank you all very much. I will be in and out over the next couple of weeks. Right now almost everything in my house reminds me of him so I want to spend as little time here as possible. I know I have to face it sooner or later, right now I prefer later. You know how my new year has been so far, let me know how yours has been.

Saying goodbye is never easy

The funeral was today. It was a lovely service. Elliot came, I knew he would, he's always there when I need him. Dani came too. She is such a nice person. A lot of my friends were there but I'm not thinking clearly right now so I can't remember exactly who was there. I went to Jen's house for a few minutes after the service. I wasn't feeling very social so I came home. Now I am going to curl up on the couch, pull the covers over my head, and hope I wake up from this nightmare soon.

Tuesday, January 02, 2007

Thanks to everyone for your kind wishes. I really appreciate it. The funeral is tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't know what to say

He didn't make it. The doctors did all they could. He didn't survive the surgery. His injuries were too severe. I feel numb. I'm not sure where I am or how I got here. I'm going to find somewhere to lie down for a few minutes.
Ironically this was my 200th post. Not exactly the special post I was hoping for.

:(

I don't remember calling Jen but she's here so I must have. I don't even remember how I got here. JP was in an accident. They won't let us see him because he is undergoing emergency surgery. They said he has internal bleeding. It doesn't look good. I'm scared. I hate hospitals.
Somebody let me use their laptop because I needed a distraction.
I need to call Elliot or maybe I did already. I vaguely remember talking to him. Oh, he is sitting next to me with his hand on my shoulder. He looks just as scared as I am.
The doctor is on his way over here. He looks distressed. I need to go.
