I have been in contact with my dad for the past 3 weeks. Over these 3 weeks I have learned he can't keep a relationship, or job. He is getting married for the 6th time October 2009. My brother wants to put our dad on his insurance which I don't think is a good idea, but to each there own. My brother has also decided to send him some money. Oi! I guess I am the type of person who really has to know someone to do something like that.
He wants me to call him "dad" but I don't. I have parents and they did a great job of raising me. I found him more or less for my brother. And the more I talk to him the more I see that he could of prevented my brother from going though foster homes and group homes, and me from getting adopted. He didn't try at all and that is what it is. But in the same aspect, I would never be where I am now if he had done that.
I am more irritated to find out that someone didn't try to get his children back. He had the chance, but didn't try. Who does that? Sorry but that is something that really makes me mad. Any parent who wont. And yes that is what he said. Grrrrr!!!!
So with that said, he is just a sperm donor. Someone who was there one moment and gone the next. I don't have many hurt feelings over it, and as a good friend of mine says..."Life goes on." And it does.

Ah the internet. It is a wonderful thing. So I found my dad and in a very short period of time. It cost me $10 on a place called switchboard. It gave me 12 addresses and numbers and I called every one today. I found him! YAY!
When I called I got a hold of his fiance. She was really sweet and told she would have him call me back. Of couse when I talked to her she was a bit weirded out at first. But when she found out I was his daughter she started to cry as did I.
He called and then he cried. I got the whole story about my mom and what happened. I am thinking about going to visit him in Texas. The funny thing is that my adopted family lives in the town over from him. Today has been a very emotional, yet exciting day. It was a great reunion!
My brother is bummed though. He has to work 3 days in a row and will be away from home so he can't call our dad till he gets back. :( But he is so excited and very glad that I found him. YAY!!!!

I found him...and I called him. He didn't answer so I just left a message. Now it is just waiting for him to call back. This is so nerve racking!

I decided to find my biological father. I was adopted when I was 7 and never knew him. My mom had me when she was 23. My grandma took care of my brother and I till I was 6. She gave me us up for adoption because she had cancer.
The guy in all of our family photos is named Al. I found out the other day that that is not my father's name. I have had a few suggestions where to go to find him. I am very nervous. What if he doesn't want to see me or get to know me? I don't know. I am going to try to get in touch with him anyway.
Wish me luck

DH and I were suppose to visit his parents tomorrow...but our car broke down. So this kind of sucks. We have to get a new fuel pump.
But on the flip side we bought a new bed today! YAY! Our new bed is so comfortable and I LOVE it.
So we have to fix our car tomorrow. Get a stroage unit to put our other bed till we get a house. Go get our other bed. Then try to make it to his parents house tomorrow night. Oi.
Well everything happens for a reason

You need:
One cheesecake, plain, homemade or bought with no crust. Peanut oil. Fillo dough (you can find it in the freezer section) Tooth picks. Powered sugar. Chocolate sauce. Hershey's Syrup works very well.
Make sure you defrost cheesecake, if you bought it, overnight and the Fillo dough before you start frying
Put peanut oil in pot and heat on med-high. (Put enough in to submerge slices.) While the peanut oil is heating up cut cheesecake into slices. Cut the Fillo dough in half. Wrap each slice of cheesecake in about 5 sheets of Fillo dough. (Roll the top a little then fold in the sides then roll the rest.) Pin with toothpick while frying. Put into hot oil and fry untill golden brown. Put a paper towl on a plate to get extar oil off rolls once done. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes. You can take out the tooth picks. Roll in powered sugar and decorate with chocolate sauce.
This is VERY yummy way to make cheesecake. It also keeps in the fridge for a week and is still very yummy! Not heating required after put in the fridge. I think it tastes better cold...but that is just me!
~enjoy! If you have any questions ask

So DH and I got into a huge fight today about something really stupid. We are both really stong willed and stubborn so the fight went no where. I have just gotten to the point where I do not want to argue about anything anymore. I don't see a point in it. We talk things out, don't get me wrong. But once our voices start getting louder or we are just talking in circles I drop it till we calm down and talk about what our opinions are on the situation. Then it is done and over with.
ANYWAY, DH went out and got my favorite childhood movie, Sleeping Beauty! That was really sweet of him. I am going to watch The Mentalist, then watch my new movie, then go to bed.
Have a good night
