I guess I forgot.

I drove to my parents’ today. I needed to get some bank stuff together from their deposit box and I needed to pick up my vanity for the move in a month. I also saw my grandparents. My grandfather got me a beautiful gold necklace with an anchor pendent from Kuwait. The anchor is a very personal symbol for both of us and it truly meant a lot to me. I have to say I was so stunned at the gift. No one has ever remembered things that meant a lot to me. When I was young I asked him why he wore the gold anchor all the time. Then for my confirmation I chose a symbol of an anchor. Now I too have this symbol to wear forever 
.
Besides that the day was pretty odd. I don’t know. It’s not the same without Pookie there to visit :(. My Mom flipped out because I had forgot to mention that this was the last time I was visiting before I moved. I might not visit till next summer. I never visited often anyway!!!! But she just started weeping all over me. I was so…. out of my comfort zone because really I was SO excited to be moving and I wasn’t that upset because, like I said, I rarely visited anyway! They lived 2 hours away, I didn’t always drive home. So, I dunno, I’m an adult, boo-hoo-hoo. But I wasn’t mean about it. I just kept saying she made it sound like I was going off to die or something terrible. I know why she felt this way. I’m just saying a couldn’t relate. My Mom & I are complete opposites in everything we do.
Mike got me this >> useful, no? I owe him. Hahaha.
I have work tomorrow…. boooooooooo.

ohh that’s so nice of your grandfather ^^ very thoughtful! My mom and I have something like that in common..only its a golden key. I always have it around my neck. I’m sorry you have to go to work tomorrow…hopefully something good/exciting will happen~
It was very sweet and touching of your grandfather to give you a gift which has so much meaning to it. It’s one of things, that you will remember forever. ~Hope the move goes well and doesn’t become too hectic.
i hardly ever go home too. i like special gifts that only you and the other person knows why it means so much.
aww your grandfather is so thoughtful! I love those meaningful pendent necklaces where you can always wear it and remember something or someone~ ^.^
I think that is such a sweet gift.
I can understand that’s it’s difficult for your mother. There’s not much you can do about it though. She’ll get over it.
Ah, I missed out on so muc of your entries. Seems like a lot is going on with you with the move and everything. I’m happy to hear that you will be out of that horrible place with the annoying neighbors ^^ Mike’s gift remiinds me that I need to buy a English-Japanese dictionary myself =P
sorry to be so impatient! i just get so excited!
Aw, the pendant must be really special to you
And.. Maybe it’s just when people move away, other people start acting weird? Like when my friend’s brother was going off to college, his mom was all really pissed off and getting mood swings
Haha, my mom doesn’t like seeing me leave either. During summervacation I’m at home, but when college starts again, I’m back in Leiden. She tells me often it makes her sad not having me around the house and listen to me blab
That pocket dictionary sure looks sweet. I’m still saving for an electronic dictionary; takai, ga benri desu ne!
What a sweet gift your grandfather gave you!
That’s so sweet of your grandfather. Hope your mother doesn’t cry you a river O_O
That is really sweet of your grandfather to have bought you that
I always visit home because i live at home.. haha.. That was a bit lame x_x Anyway, enjoy your weekend
lucky duck! i wish i had something meaningful like your necklace to wear! then i could always point to it and tell everyone that asks about it!
awh! i suppose its like mixed feelings right? happy to move but sad you’re leaving your family.
i love the jap dictionary!
thats really sweet that your grandfather gave you a necklace. It sounds beautiful. I love old people, i really don’t know why but I just do. Like when I see a old azn women walking, and i’ll be with my friends, I will yell out “omg shes so cute!”, hah i know im weird
. I am so happy for you and mike and your new place. mucho love Jen!
