Ooooppsssy!

So it happens to everyone in their life time (or at least most people) You are involved in a Car Accident. I went 28 years without being in a car accident, however last night at 620pm that all changed. I rear ended another car. Ick I hate saying that! If anything I never wanted to be in accident let alone one that was my fault!

So I'm driving down Main St on my way to Junior Achievement at FHS. Right around Tim Horton's. I'm not sure what I was doing that had my attention away from the road, but when I looked up I seen the red car ahead of with it's brake lights on and at that moment, I realized that there was no way I could get stopped in time. And BANG! I rear ended the guy.

After a few tries, I got my car off the road and got out of the car to talk to the guy I hit. He and exhanged are you ok's and then we discussed what to do. He wanted me to just give him money to fix his car and then I would put my car through insurance. I didn't like the sounds of that because I really don't have the money to pay for his car and my car. Not that there was much damage to his car. See pictures below to see my car. What happened is my car sits lower then his car so my front bumper went underneath his car.

I didn't call the cops, but someone did and with in a few mins a lady cop showed up to get the information. It seemed to take forever to get my car on a tow truck and for my aunt and uncle to show up and for the cop to finish the paperwork so that I could go on my way (minus my car of course). In actuality, it only took about 2 hrs. or so. I of course called my mom right away and my cell died so she was upset cuz she wasn't sure I was ok and stuff. I did get a hold of her a little later in the night.

Anyways, presenting.....Why People Should Never Take Their Eyes Off the Road!













This picture is for Stephen! This is our fog light!!! LOL Guess it's gonna get really fixed this time eh?!?!

Happy Birthday Gordo!!!

I had two birthdays today! Gordo's birthday is today too, however he elected to be away for both my birthday and his own, so unfortunately he did not get to celebrate his birthday with the rest of us. But knowing Gordo, he had a blast where he is! I can't wait to hear the stories of his birthday bash!

Hope you had a great day on Sunday! I'm sure your weekend rocked!

See ya when you get home!

Happy Birthday Krystal!

Happy Birthday Krystal!

For Krystal's Birthday they had a party for her starting at her place and moving to a local bar where a band was playing. The guy she is currently seeing is in the band, so I wonder why they decided to go there???? LOL

I worked until 10pm so I headed over to the bar after work and was of course welcomed with warm hugs and great enthusiasm. Krystal got some presents, and there was food there as well, I noticed a shrimp ring and some nacho dip! LOL I didn't stay long as I was a little hung over from Tim's birthday party and I was extremely tired from working all day. It was great to see everyone again tho!

Hope you have a great day on Sunday! (as that is when her actual birthday is!)

Happy Birthday Tim!!!

I know I'm a little late with the birthday wishes on the blog, however I was at your place Friday night and wished you Happy Birthday then too!

Friday night, Jeremy and I went to Tim's house in the MINI HOME PARK. I had a great time. I got off work at 10pm, came home picked Jeremy up and then drove to Tim's house. It was raining pretty hard.

When we arrived at Tim's house, Tara, Lisa, Josh, Tim and Andrea, were all sitting around the living room chatting it up. We started playing a game of Asshole shortly after we got there. I did end up shuffling the cards a few times and so did Jeremy.

I had a few drinks, of course I had also been up since 4am. The drinks hit me pretty hard and I stumbled once and broke a lamp at Andreas! I want to pay her for it, but she keeps telling me not to worry about it. I felt soo bad about breaking it too!

Tara left and then Jeremy and I left shortly after that. Jeremy and I walked home in the rain. It was a good walk, however we were both soaked by the time we got to my house.

3 Weeks at The Gym!!!!

Two weeks ago, I decided to get a year membership at the gym. Me being me, I of course thought of ways I could get out of it, JUST IN CASE! You know, hate to be stuck paying for something I don't want or need!

So my free week, plus my two paid weeks at the gym, equals 3 weeks! I've been going pretty regularly. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and sometimes Saturday, depending on my mood. It's not a necessary day, so I decide the day of if I want to go.

Thursday, I met with a Personal Trainer (I get a total of 4 visits with her). She gave me a routine/program, so now I have a set thing to do while I'm at the gym. This is a good thing. She worked the program around so that I'm only at the gym for about an hour. This is good, I don't really want to be at the gym any longer then that anyways.

I learned how to use all the weight machines at the gym, and she gave me a lot of exercises to do on them. I use mostly 20 lbs weights for my arms, and 100 on the leg press. Powerful figure skating legs I guess! LOL There is one machine for the legs that I only do 10lbs on, that's because it's really freaking hard! It really works the thighs and butt. It's about 400 times more intense then any thigh master I've ever seen! LOL

I'm also doing an excerise on the ball with 4lbs weights. Lifting them to shoulder height, arms extended. I did like 6 of these with the trainer on Thursday and my shoulders were sore all day Friday! and I have to do 20 of them?!!? 3 times?!?!!? OMG My arms might fall off!

She also taught me the proper way to do a crunch (as in sit up). There is a lot to think about when you do one. It probably took 20 mins for me to understand what she was telling me. I think I'll pass on the information that she gave me so that anyone out there reading this that's doing crunches will know the proper way! LOL
Step one - Lay on the floor with your knees bent
Step two - make sure your back is flat on the floor (not arched) That is why you bend your knees. She also told me that you should never sleep or lay flat on your back, especially if you have lower back problems.
Step three - tighten abs (much more difficult then it sounds trust me!) She had me laying on the floor at the gym with my fingers pushing right above my hips and tightening my abs, when you tighten them you can feel your stomach muscle push out. It's kinda cool actually!
Step four - this hardest if you ask me. You know those exercises that are good for strengthening your orgasims, girls? Kegal (or whatever) do one of those. This will tilt your pelvic bone up slightly.
Step five - Now that you have taken 10 mins to get all that stuff done right. Then you do the crunch, while keeping everything else tight!

See what I mean! These things really are complicated.
So I told my personal trainer that, I didn't know if I would remember all of that information. She said once you do them a few times you will remember and they will be easy for you. She said the biggest thing to remember is to not push your belly out when you are doing crunches, tighten those abs otherwise your stomach will form out instead of in. and you want to have a flat stomach. I said yes my stomach already sticks out. LOL we laughed about that and then she made me do a bunch more of those crunches. I have to do 20-25 of those 3 times. I think she's right after the first day of doing it right, I'll just remember after that!

Thanksgiving Day Dinner!

Thanksgiving dinner! MMMM it was soo yummy!

Jeremy and I took the long way to mom and dad's on Monday, around through Minto and Chipman. It was a nice drive, but like most New Brunswick Drives it was a little on the boring side....lots of trees! LOL

Upon arriving at the house, we noticed that everyone was sitting outside (what a beautiful day!) We brought some of the chairs around from the front of the house so I could sit in the sun and not be cold. We watched Dad and John build mom's deck that she's been waiting to have for well as long as the house has been built and I grew up in that house! LOL That's my dad! He'll do it eventually! Gotta Love him!

After I got there, I decided that I should return an empty jar of pickles to my cousin Essie, as I needed a refill (of course there was an alterior motive! LOL). I stole (ok I was given) Mom and Dad's car to go down the road to visit/get pickles. When I arrived at Essie's house there were people there doing renovations (it looks real nice too). I did the typical hometown thing, where I knocked on the door and then let myself in. Josh was the only one home, so I had a brief conversation with him. Most of which was him trying to remember where the rest of the family went to. His mind was in gaming mode and wasn't easily shaken out of that mode! After a few moments, he told me they were at Essie's mom's house and that they had just left. So after getting the "need to know" information, I headed home empty pickle handed!

Once home, I started helping mom set the table and put the finishing touches on supper. Hazel, John's friend, was home sick with the cold. We offered John to stay for supper, but he said he had to get home to check on Hazel. So what does mommy dearest do?! Why she calls Hazel of course and invites her for supper too! The deal was she would come to supper if we would go pick her up. I had never seen their place so I decided I would go with mom to see where John and Hazel live.

Their house is magnificent! I loved it! I want it! I want that master bedroom, I want the view, I want the sleigh bed! I want it all! LOL I of course gave myself a tour of the house, with my mom of course. Once we got upstairs (where the really nice view is) mom opened a closet and it was filled with Photographs in frames! and I mean FILLED!!!!! I have like 4 pictures on the walls of my house and he has a closet full of pictures and no place to hang them. So what do I do???!!! SNOOP of course!!! LOL Then mom said "Lisa, get out of the closet you!" so I had to abandon the closet full of pictures! LOL I found out on my visit that John is a carpenter! I was very excited about this and decided that he should make me a bed! LOL Since my bed frame is broken and I'm in need of a new one anyways, why not have him make me one, I would of course pay him, but I just want a bed! LOL Then I just have to get new mattresses! Ohh but I didn't stop at the bed, I want night tables to go with it of course! LOL

Once we got back to the house, (by this time poor Jeremy was starving pretty near to pieces!) Mom and I put the mad dash on getting supper ready. It was ready in no time and we were all sitting down eating a fantastic Thanksgiving Dinner!

After dinner we sat outside and talked for awhile and I helped clean up a bit and the it was time to start the journey home. On my way out, as I was giving hugs to Mom and Dad, I turned to John and said "Next time I am over, we'll have to sit down and discuss plans for my new bed and night stands" He just looked at me so I added "that will be built of course by you" then everyone started laughing! I'm not sure they took me serious! I was dead serious! LOL

Gym Day 3

I'm soo sore!!! My inner thighs hurt sooo bad!!! Everytime I move I want to cry!
And I'm tired!!! So very very tired! ugh!! Ahh well, I'm sure it'll get better in time! Still excited about going to the gym! Gonna be Smokin Hot for my trip to Scotland! LOL

Gym Day 1

I have decided to join the gym. I have selected Kingswood as my gym of choice. I picked this gym basically because so many people I know go to this gym. This makes it easier for me to stay motivated, or at least I hope so!

Krystal, my neighbour and good friend goes to that gym so we have decided that we will be gym buddies.

Today being my first day I had planned on doing Cardio all day for the full hr or for at least most of it. Krystal had other plans! I did 20 mins on the eliptical (sp?) machine and thought I was going to die. This is why I joined the gym, I am in way too bad of shape for a 28 year old! We then proceeded to the weight machines. I did well with the legs, but not good with the arms! No wonder I can't open any of those jars in the cupboard! I have no arm strength! But that is all about to change folks! I am going to be wonder woman soon enough! Just you all wait and see!

My first week at the gym is free because they have a trial membership there, and I'm taking advantage of that before I get my membership. I haven't decided whether to get a year membership or just a 4 month one. If i get the year membership, it's 46 a month, if I get the 4 month one it's 220 every 4 months. Krystal tells me that you can defer it at any time for a month. So I think that sounds ok, that way if I get sick I can always defer the month and go again the next month. That makes sense right?!
