Rains it Pours! Feast or Famon!

I go through months of not meeting any one new, of not dating, nothing...then out of the blue a guy comes a long that peaks my interest...not long after that there is another guy and sometimes another one after that..LOL

Boy Number 1 - Last Saturday night I went out to the bar with Dawn as we normally do on the weekends. I was having a good time dancing and stuff and then I see a guy that I had danced with a few weeks ago. I wasn't really interested in the guy but felt bad saying no to him so I went. The guy followed me around the bar. I immediately went searching for my friend Darren to save me! LOL I found Darren and he did save me! whew! Then I seen that guy hitting on another girl so I was relieved that he would be leaving me alone. Dawn and I headed to the dance floor. That guy was there but I just kinda ignored it until Dawn said he was left alone on the dance floor. I got scared..but he didn't approach me. At the end of the night, Dawn and I were doing our normal end of the night watching people dance to the slow songs because they are so drunk... we were laughing and carrying on...and then I seen that guy walk by past me. Dawn was facing in his direction she told me that he had stopped and that he was turning around..then I felt tap tap tap on my shoulder. The look of TERROR on my face must have been priceless. I could tell by the look on Dawn's face that it was not the guy that had followed me. I turned around to find a rather handsome Army Guy (yes I know...shhh lol) Chris asked me to dance and we talked a bit while we were dancing and then he asked me to go get something to eat with him and his "buddy" (everyone in the military are buddies)Dawn and I head out to the Diplomat for lunch with the boys. It must of went well because the guy asked for my phone number and I gave it to him and he called on Sunday. We got together for coffee on Sunday afternoon and watched a movie at my place that evening. He called me Monday night, Tuesday night and left for PEI on Thursday night. I guess we'll see if he remembers who I am on Monday when he returns to Fredericton. LOL

Boy Number 2 - Friday or Saturday I started talking to a guy I have talked to online several times before, it was always a good conversation, but we have never asked to meet one another. This guy is living in Miramichi, but grew up in Newfoundland (for some reason, I find newfies sexy) On Saturday, he mentioned that he would be coming to Fredericton on Sunday and wanted to know if I wanted to meet him. I thought he was joking at first so I had a smartass response for him and he said rather disappointedly I guess not. I explained that I thought he had been joking, but that I would get together with him for coffee. Sunday came and he didn't come, but he did email me to tell me he got called into work and that is why he didn't come over. We have been chatting ever since.

Boy Number 3 - funny story. I have my picture in my profile in Yahoo, where I go by the name of loopyinfreddybeach, and I have a profile on a personals site that also has my picture. Last Friday night I went out and this guy came up to me and asked if I was loopy. at first I was gonna say something smartassed, but then decided against it. come to find out he recognized my picture from my profile on the personal site. He seems like a nice guy but we have determind that friends is where we are to stay...tho we did have a good time dancing and stuff that night.

so yeah fest or famon!!!

Great Big Sea ROCKS!!!!!

As some of you know, I'm a huge GBS fan! I have been since the first time I seen them on the ECMA's. I've been to 4 concerts now and I have to say that they get better and better each and everytime I see them!!


I love these Newfie Boys! Tuesday night they rocked the Playhouse in Fredericton!
I originally thought...GBS at the playhouse? There is no place to dance or jump around, that isn't going to be very fun. However, I was proven soooo wrong! The acoustics were better, the show was more intimate/personal, and the boyz were really into the concert!

I've known I was going for a long time, however, I kinda forgot about it for a bit but was quickly reminded about it! I wasn't near as pumped up for the concert as I have been in the past..could have something to do with seeing them 4 times, but I was sooo pumped up afterwards!

I couldn't wait we had sixth row tickets and once we got there I was sooo excited to see them I don't think I stopped clapping and dancing since they strummed the first note!

There was a big debate on whether or not to take our cameras, I decided to just take mine anyways and I'm so glad I did..I got some awesome shots of the boyz, as you can see!

Alan and Sean were on a comedic rampage that night. It's been a long time since I have laughed that hard. Just remember "It's all about the proper use of utensils". They were getting ready to introduce a song to the crowd. Sean said "this is a song about a guy who is out wandering the streets after dark and is in kinda a depressed mood, when he looks up and sees the silouette of a woman in a window." then he takes a breath and says now folks he has the best of intension, I don't want you to get the wrong idea about him, he's really a good guy. He just wants to.......spoon on the couch.....and .... umm....watch Law and Order." As Alan starts to play the music from Law and Order on his guitar and the crowd busts up laughing. Later on this joke was brought up again "spoonin on the couch" Alan says "As opposed to....." Sean says "forking" again more laughter from the audience. Sean says "It's all about the type of utensil you are in the mood for" Song name "I'm a Rover"

They were introducing the song called "Charlie Horse". Alan says, "This is a song about a horse that fell through the ice. I'm not sure if you have had this problem in New Brunswick, but in NFLD it seems to have been quite a common occurance. At least there is a lot of songs about it anyway! Now I'm probably boring you with details here, but I want to explain something so that you don't get confused when you hear the song. Charlie is the name of the horse and Shave is a dude. So when I sing" as he strums the guitar and sings "Here's to Charlie Horse, here's to Shave the Master" I'm talking about a dude not" then he motions as if he's shaving his face and then his legs. Sean steps up and says "What if they had called him Wax?" Alan says "ohh that would hurt..but what type of wax? there are lots of different types" Sean says "I dunno, bikini, brazilian...Either one is good by me" More laughter. Alan starts to play the song then stops and says "I wonder what they would call it in Brazil?" He starts laughing and then starts right into the song.

Sean and Alan told one of the ushers to let us dance, as one of the ushers kept coming down and cleaning out the aisle. The Boyz said "These people paid to dance let them dance" It was awesome that they did that as I think everyone was a bit uncomfortable dancing in the playhouse...not that it stopped most of us!

For the last Encore they came out and sang "Old Brown's Daughter" without instruments, and without mics. It was amazing!

On My Vacation

I realize that my vacation has been over for well...a week! LOL But I thought that I would update you on all the happenings!

My Wednesday meeting a client went really well. He was impressed with the tour saying it gives him a better appreciation of me and my job. (wish there were more out there like that! LOL) He took me out for lunch...well really I picked the place and he paid. Jen suggested the pasta buffet at the Delta. Which was a good idea, however Chris showed up with jeans and a knit wool sweater, so I thought maybe the Delta wasn't the best idea and settled for the Hilltop. I really enjoyed my food, the conversation and company.

Thursday I went home to mom and dads and for the first time I stepped inside the Doaktown Tim Hortons. It still amazes me that there is a Tim Hortons there! LOL And to top it all off I won a Donut on my Roll up the rim!!! LOL

Friday I headed home and out to the clubs that evening. I had a good time as I always do.

Saturday I went to my sign language course and yes I showed up ON TIME!!! LOL and not hung over! It doesn't take long to wake up in those classes as you have to rely only on your eye sight...so no sleeping! I went out to the bar on Saturday night again and again had a good time.

Sunday Mom and dad came over to have a look at my couch (as it was broken) Dad developed a plan to fix it, which of course I didn't understand at the moment, however I understand it now that it's fixed! LOL

That was my vacation! I already wrote about JA finishing up so you are all updated until this last week! I'll save my update from Saturday night for Tomorrows post.

JA Wrapped Up

I have to say I'm relieved that JA is over for another year. This year was more stressful then any of my other years, as Tim and I took on the wrapping up ourselves, of course the other advisors pitched in when they could and the achievers were there to do most of the work.

Tim and I have had some bumpy parts in the wrap up, some situations that we hadn't run into before, which made thing more difficult. We ended off coming off as a meanie to a couple of the kids, just because we couldn't do what she wanted us too. Ahh well can't always be the nice person!

Now we are on to our Futures Unlimited Banquet, which doesn't happen until April, but this is where the awards are handed out. I am keeping our fingers crossed for Company of the Year!!! I'll let you know in April what we get for awards!!
