I wish I could wipe my ass with $100 bills

Well I dropped Jess off at the airport this morning. I didn't want to pay for parking at the airport since it has gone up - its $6 just to enter the place and then $2 for each hour you are there. So I drove to work and parked, we walked over 1/2 block and hopped on the light rail to the Main Terminal. It was only $4 for the both of us and only an 8 minute ride. Sweet. We got to the airport and checked in and got to his gate just in time for him to board. I sat there and read Harry untill the plane left the ground and rode back to work. Twas fun.

I called my mom this morning to let her know that Jess got on the plane safetly, and that he was ok. She keeps asking me to send her $ and I feel so horrible that I can't send her any right now. She said that she is so desperately broke right now and she needs any money she can get. I keep saying that I will send her some, but things just come up and I end up needing the money. When she asked if I had sent money with Jess for her, I told her no, and she thought I was joking. She was like "Whatever, liar" and I said " No, Mom, I couldn't send any with him." She was so disappointed. It breaks my heart. I wish I had the money to put her up in her own apartment and get her the things she needs, but thats impossible for me right now. I try to do what I can, but it never seems like its enough. As much as I want to send money every month, Im just not able to right now. I have the wedding coming up, and Im paying for that out of my own pocket. I asked her again why she wasn't working and she told me that it was because she dosen't have her license yet - which she told me she had gotten months ago - she said she was going to get it and then needed the money for other things like deoderant and tampons. I just don't know what to do - it always seems that everytime I get my hopes up and stop worrying about her for a while, thinking that everything is getting better for her - then something like this happens. She said that no matter how broke she is, she will still be able to go to my wedding. My Grandma is sharing her hotel room with her. I asked how she is getting up there, and she said Connie (her sister who lives in AZ too), and I told her that Connie is flying up there - she already booked her tickets. Then she was disappointed again and mumbled that she would get a ride somehow. I am just sick about that now. Im going to be worrying about her all day.

Im excited to start school tomorrow, though. I have Prinicples of Managment from 5:00-7:45. Sounds quite boring to me, but im trying to be optomistic. The class I had last semester was Interpersonal Communications, the teacher, Dr. Klein, spoiled us so bad. She made the class one of the most open, intriging, cultured and knowlegable places to be - for each student. Everyone loved her. I know that not all my classes will be like that - Im sure that the majority will not even come close. I keep picturing these boring, drab teachers almost like Professer Binns from Hogwarts - Nancy knows what Im talking about - or Mr. Danielson from Morgan Park - now Stacy and Trav know what Im talking about. Im just going to try to make the best of the time and learn as much as I can. That's what college is for, right?

Still coming along slowly with the 5th book, Im in the middle of chapter 14 - Nancy, Im so jealous your on the 6th already! Snape is always an asshole.
Im going to be able to read a bunch tonight - but not tomorrow on account of school.

Last night on the drive home, Trav asked me If I was going to make thanksgiving dinner this year, and I said - yeah - they have faux turkeys (I beleive they are called "tofurkeys") and vegetarian stuffing. Otherwise there is a thing called "Mock Duck" which is often made by veggies instead of turkey. He suggested that we have family over for Thanksgiving this year - since a) we have a bigger apartment now, b) Trav's mom will be here, and it will be our first Thanksgiving as a married couple! Welcome to Thanksgiving at The Bean's. HA! I can't wait.
I thought that was a great idea - I'll have to check out a bunch of recipes for vegetarian stuffing and other side dishes - and see what other options there are instead of turkey. Although, Im sure I will be making a regular turkey for the non-veggies who couldn't imagine Thanksgiving without it. FUN!
