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 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?!

The Day After My Birthday!
Wednesday evening I headed over to Doaktown to have supper with my mom and dad for my birthday. My mom made cheesecake at my request! When I got to the house I could smell the turnips and carrots cooking!!! Nothing like my mom's cooking!
I was the first of the guests to arrive..ohh well me and Jeremy were the first to arrive. I stood outside and had a smoke with my mom when my grand parents arrived. I said ohh no Nanny's going to yell at me for smoking. Jeremy quickly jumped behind me so that I would get the full blow! (thanks so much Jeremy!)
I was surprised tho when it wasn't Nanny who said something to me it was Grandad. He said, "Lisa, what's that in your hand?" I said, You know what it is. Then I got the look and anyone who knows my grandad knows what "the look" is! LOL
Shortly after Nanny and Grandad arrived, Dad came home from the work, followed by Cathy and David and Hazel and John. I was a bit surprised as I thought it was only going to be Mom, Dad, Me, Jeremy and maybe Nanny and Grandad.
Mom had prepared Ham, Potatoes, Turnips, and Carrots for supper. OMG was it ever good! For dessert there were two things, MY cheesecake and another dessert that had strawberries on the top. Both of course were big hits with the guests!
After supper, I was brought cards. Nanny and Grandad gave me 15 pounds sterling (whatever the sterling means LOL), David and Cathy gave me scratch and win cards (I love those things and I haven't scratched them all yet..but no winners yet either!), Mom and Dad gave me 25 dollars (Canadian) to go towards the purchase of of my passport and it is only to be used for that, Hazel and John gave me 10 Pounds in change (their plan is to make me used to the coins before I get over there.)
I have figured that I'm going to mess up on the 5 pence and 10 pence (i think) as the 5 looks like our dimes and the 10 looks like our quarters. I can see a problem in the future!
Thanks so much to everyone for the presents! They were of course perfect!!!

Happy Early Birthday to me!!!
My birthday isn't until Tuesday, however the great thing about having your birthday during the week is that you get to celebrate it all weekend! Not that you can't anyway! LOL
Last night I went to my friend Tara's after work at the store to play poker. When I arrived Andrea met me in the drive way and was trying to stall me from going inside as they had decorated the Garage with balloons and a banner! We sat down and talked for a few mins had a shot of something (it was good..lol) Tara said "the reason Darcy asked you if you like ice cream cake is because we got you one for your birthday" So she brought out the cake and then the proceeded to put candles on the cake....Do you know how long it has been since I blew out candles?? I got them all in one blow tho!!! haha!
I had a great night playing cards and having some drinks with close friends, ohh and freezing in Tara's garage! LOL By the end of it I was wrapped up in a sleeping bag to stay warm!
Thanks so much to Tara, Tim and Andrea! I really appreciated the balloons, banner and cake! Love you guys!

Not to Yellowknife
It seems that Jeremy will not be going to Yellowknife now. He will however be leaving at some point, once the army decides where he is going. He's asking to be sent to Winnipeg to do something. I don't know what cuz I didn't understand what he said he would be doing out there, all I got out of the conversation was Winnipeg. lol ... maybe I wasn't listening?? quite possible!
Loopy Ramblings Part 2
***This time next year I will be sitting in Scotland! I was talking to Melana last night and we both got a little excited thinking about my trip being only a year away!
***My birthday is coming up on Tuesday! It's only a week away people! I turn the big 2-8 this year, where have the years gone?! I feel like I was just turning 19 last year! Mind you, I have grown as a person since then, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.
***Today is an old friends birthday, I know she won't be reading this but she is in my thoughts. Happy Birthday Jane!
***Tomorrow is Darcy's Birthday. I like the fact that she will always be a little older then me! Happy Birthday Darce!
***My Friend Tara's husband, Tim, and I share a birthday. He was the first person I met that has the same birthday as me! He's a little older then me, but still we share a birthday.
***My next vacation time is in November. It just so happens that Darcy, Melissa, Tim, and Tara all have the same week off as I do! We are planning a Karaoke at the Snooty Fox during that week (that would be a Wednesday!!!) Since I seem to be working myself into a early grave (so my friends tell me) I think I am going to try to take most of that week off and spend it relaxing at home...sleeping in and doing nothing! So Gordo...No 5am text messages for 1 week in November! Ok...you can stop doing the happy dance now!!! :oP
***If you get paid weekly there are 14 pays til Christmas!!! 7 pays left if you are paid biweekly. And if you are me you have a total of 21 pays left before Christmas!! haha...one of the advantages of having two jobs!
***Planning parties suck! I don't mind planning them when I am all excited about the party, however until last night I was not excited. Krystal and I went shopping for some supplies for the party last night and yeah....now the excitement is starting to build! Time to start Hyping up the party and getting people interested in going! More so then they already are!
***Look at this!!!! Two Blog updates in a day!!! haha...so that means I can take a couple of days off right?? LOL

Can you fix my cell phone?
I know I have mentioned my dislike for stupid people. I know everyone has their bad days, but seriously! I think we should all have bad days on the same day, maybe we would be more sympathetic??
Thursday, I took my phone in (AGAIN!) because it was starting to do the same thing it was doing when I had to have it sent away. I figured it was the battery creating the problems and thought that Cox could give me a hand with having it replaced.
I walked into Aliant in the Regent mall and walked up to the counter (not busy..was 2pm on a Thursday) I explained to the girl that my phone had broke and that I had sent it away to be fixed, that it was gone for 6 weeks, I just got it back and now it's acting up again. I said, since the only thing that is old on the phone is my battery, that could be the source of the problem.
The lady behind the counter suggested that we send my phone away again.
I said "for a battery? Don't you have one here?"
She said "I'm sorry all I can offer is to send it away. The Asst Manager might be able to do more"
I said "ohh ok..Are they here?"
"Yes" came the reply.
I small pause followed by me saying "well can I talk to her?"
"ohh yes, do you want me to go get her?"
I felt like screaming "No I was just checking to see if I was allowed to speak with her." but in reality I said "yes please" (I'm so polite..lol)
The asst manager comes out and I explain the story to her again, I gave her my name and she looked stuff up on the computer. She said "so you think it's a battery problem?"
I nodded "Well we have two options. 1. Send the phone away again or 2. Replace the battery."
I said "I'm not sending my phone away again."
"I understand that" she said. Then she said "do you want me to go look for a battery?"
By this time in my head I'm screaming WHY ARE YOU SO DUMB??? "yes" I said.
She returned to the counter without a battery. "We don't have any. Our other location may have one. Do you want me to call there to see?"
I said "If they do can I have it for my phone?"
"yes" she said. "Well then yes I want you to call. I want my phone fixed."
After a brief phone conversation, she confirmed that the Cox on Main St had the battery I needed, she printed off the receipt and sent me on my way. Saying "You shouldn't have wait over there"
Yeah Right. I walk into Cox (Main Street Edition). It's the first time I have ever been in over there. There were 4 employees working that I could see. One was waiting on a customer at the counter, One was on the phone with a customer and two others were chatting at the counter. I stood for what seemed like 10 mins (probably more like 2)
Finally someone asked if they could help me, I explained that I was there to pick up my battery for my cell phone. They said I needed to talk to Jeff who was on the phone. I heard his ending sales pitch (so true yet so corny) "Well sir, I have to suggest that you go with the bigger set, because you don't hear many people say I wish I had gone for the smaller set" I rolled my eyes.
Finally Jeff got off the phone and said "ohh you are here for your battery right?"
"yep" I said.
"Ok, come with me to the service department"
Service department?? It's a battery for my cell phone!!! It doesn't need service. I can do it myself!! I thought.
We headed to the back of the store, where I met Tommy, the service guy. Jeff explained the situation incorrectly, which sent poor Tommy on a 10min goose chase for a new battery, which he was holding in his hand. Tommy comes back and says holding up the new cell phone battery that Jeff had given him "this is the new battery isn't it?"
I nodded to frustrated to talk. He set to work to do the HARD task of taking out my old battery and inserting the new battery. And voila finally after an hour I had the new battery in my phone!
What an ordeal I tell you!

Havest Jazz and Blues 2006
I've lived in Fredericton for 10 years (or there abouts) and have never taken in the biggest Jazz and Blues Festival in North America....and to be honest I never planned on taking it in either! LOL
Friday night at work a friend of mine (who newly moved to Fredericton) text messaged the crap out of me! Gordo wanted me to go to the Festival and meet him there. I didn't really want to at first, but his text messages turned into phone calls..LOL Eventually, I agreed to head over after work.
I was worried about parking my car, and I knew I would be drinking, so I didn't want to leave my car downtown over night. I called Tim to see if he wanted to go, but he declined, but agreed to drive me over and drop me off at City Hall to meet up with Gordo. Celeste called me around the same time (or messaged me on MSN) and asked if I wanted to go with her and Jay, so I got Jay and Celeste to come pick me up and we headed to the festival! We recognized Gordo right away, however he was a little tipsy and talking to some people so he didn't exactly recognize us right away.
My festival experience started with Gordo, Celeste, Jay, Justin and myself standing on the street chatting about where we should go...we decided to head to the Rogue for a few drinks before the Afterburner at the Bud Light Tent.
While standing on the street, I seen a Manager from work walk past, hoping she wouldn't notice...but alast she did! URRGGGHHH and I called in sick on Friday too! Ahh well, I did have a headache in the morning, but got rid of it after a few hours of sleep.
At the Rogue, Gordo was nice enough to buy us all a tower of draft to share. I somehow ended up with more! Since my glass was never empty. After the Rogue we started to go to the Bud Light Tent. Gordo was a bit embarrassing, but we managed to put up with him! LOL
At the Bud Light Tent the cost on the sign and the cost on the program were two different prices, when I asked about them the lady said there's no HST on the prices in the program. I asked if it said HST was to be included at door in the program. She shrugged at me. I complained for a few mins as I tried to look at the program (but the beer was taking it's effect and I wasn't reading too well) I paid the 12 dollars to get into the tent, but I didn't want to!
Inside the tent was huge! There was a car (VW) maybe?? Grand Stands for people to sit on, two places to get beer and food and (unknown to me) a opening to get to the washrooms.
Tara (who was volunteering) tapped me on the shoulder and told me she was there if I needed her. Then Andrew came up to me (a guy I work with) and tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the exit and laughed. I laughed and then grabbed him and yelled in his ear "I paid 12 dollars to get in here even tho the program states 10!" He laughed at me again realizing that was a bit tipsy. I told him that the program should say "+ HST" He laughed and carried on his way! I caught up to Gordo who gave me yet another beer (as if I needed it). We moved up closer to the stage and enjoyed the music.
A little later, I had to pee (wonder why) and I headed to the outside of the tent where I seen the bathrooms. I found Andrew out there and asked him if I needed to be outside the tent to go to the bathrooms. He laughed at me and shook his head "No, Lisa, come here" he took me to the front of the tent and said "if you go inside and turn right there is a big sign that says washrooms. try there" I thanked him and carried off inside the tent.
Celeste and Jay headed out before the end of the concert and Gordo and I hung out for a bit in front of city hall. We talked for quite awhile and then I headed home.
Overall it was a good night and I would most definitely do it again next year!
Thanks Gordo for dragging me to the festival!

Single VS Coupled
Do single people want to hang out with coupled people all the time?
Answer: No! It's depressing to sit there and even if the couple aren't lovey, you still know they are together and can see the special connection that they have, it makes the single people jealous and disappointed that they can't find someone to share those things with.
Do single people enjoy holidays like Valentine's Day and birthdays?
Answer: Sometimes! Who doesn't like a good Birthday party??? Everyone does! You can do that with anyone! Would it be nice to spend it with a special person? YES!!!! Most single people ignore Valentine's Day. At least I do.
It's a fact that no one likes being the third wheel. Whether it be hanging out with someone and their special someone, or hanging out with two friends who are on the same wave length that night. It makes the time spent uncomfortable for the "third wheel". Of course, on the other side of things, people don't usually intend to make someone feel like the third wheel, but trust me even though your intentions are good it does happen and there isn't anything you can do to stop it from happening.
As for holidays, everyone loves holidays and they want to spend it with people they love and want to be with. Whether it be friends, family or whatever. Coupled people don't seem to understand that the single person doesn't want to spend it alone, hell they spend every other day home alone, when it's a birthday or something, they want to do something fun and something different and be with people. Why should it be like every other day, where you go home and you have a nap in the afternoon and then watch TV? Coupled people who spend their birthdays alone, because their partner is away for business..they of course miss their partner, but at the same time, they don't spend every other day alone, so this is a treat for them.
Now, on the other side of things, let's look from the coupled persons point of view for a moment.
Single people often get angry with their coupled friend (or frustrated rather then angry) because they don't like to do the same things they used to. They check to see what the other half is doing before making plans to go out with the girls/guys. Understandable, it's not that they report to that person, they just want to be respectful to their partner in informing and discussing plans. Although it gets annoying to the single group, it is understandable if they were to stop and think of what they would be like in a relationship if the guy/girl just made plans to go out with friends before discussing it with them first. It's just a respect thing.
Coupled people tend to worry about their single friends. Of course, they wish and hope that they will find someone who will treat them right, and maybe they will like this one. Coupled people try their hardest to include their single friends in what they do, as they don't want to lose the friendship. The single person doesn't want to lose the friendship either. Priorities are different between coupled people and single people, ok not really priorities, but interests are different. Single people like to go out to meet new people, expand the social circle (not that coupled people don't like to do that from time to time) while coupled people tend to spend the time and energy maintaining the friendships and relationships that they currently have. They hardly feel the need to expand their circles, they have what/who they want in their lives, single people mostly want to expand their circle to help find "the one" (if there is such a thing).
So that is my rant for today! I'm gonna use this blog more I think...at first I just wanted it to be a happy place to put all my happy memories and what not, but now, I'm just gonna write about whatever I want to and today I'm feeling down a bit and so you are all gonna read about it! HAHA

Yellowknife Bound
My dear friend Jeremy is Yellowknife bound. Not sure when he's gonna be going, but he'll be off soon. He'll be gone for about a year then he returns to Fredericton to complete his course.
How do I feel about this?
I'll miss him...for sure. I knew when I met him that he would be going away, not that it makes it any easier for him to be going.
Does he really have to leave so close to my birthday?!?!?!? LOL
The answer the military doesn't give a rats ass about my birthday! LOL They should tho! It would have been nice to spend my birthday not only with my friends, but with someone I feel a special connection with.
Side note: The military didn't give a rats ass about my Graduation either! LOL But it was still great just the same and I wouldn't change it now for the world! I'm sure my birthday will be great as well, because as I have mentioned a million times over I have the best family and the greatest friends I could ever ask for! I love you all so much!

Kitty Found
I found my kitty apparently she doesn't like to be cold and as soon as she got cold she came back to the house! Actually to me because I was outside talking to a neighbour!
Of course I would never really sell my kitty!! I just get angry with her sometimes and think she should move out on her own...HAHAHA I would miss her so much if she was to leave! Who else would keep me warm at night?? Considering she sleeps under the covers with me!

Cat For Sale!
I've decided to get rid of my youngest cat. I will even pay someone to take her. Ok I wouldn't do that really....well maybe, she has made me pretty angry tonight!
I was changing the kitty litter (a job done outside) and when I went to bring the clean box into the house Wink got out! GRRRRR at her! I thought ohh she never gets far I'll go get her in a min. I took the litter to the garbage shed and then went looking for her. There she was on my neighbours deck! I didn't want to go the deck to get her so I just left her again. I went into the house as I have company over and felt it was rude of me to not at least inform Jay that I was chasing the cat. I went back outside to catch the stupid cat! Wink came towards me meowing..I thought ohh there we go she's going to come home now! Nope as soon as I took one step towards her she took off running full tilt...I've never seen her run so fast!
After she stopped to eat the grass for a few mins I decided to try to catch her again, again no luck. She took off running in the opposite direction between the row of houses towards the main road. GRRR @ her!
So needless to say she is still missing!

Just an Update
So...tonight I log into my computer and I do what I do every night. I go through my favorites list in order to see if there is anything entertaining to do. I thought there wasn't going to be anything until I came across my friend Jen's blog....holy busy Batman! That girl is always on the go..or so it seems. She has soo many hobbies! I should take some of them up, but I wouldn't know where to start. Her and Fonda are making quilts...rag quilts...I've made baby quilts before, but have never attempted a big quilt..ok I lie I did ONCE...and I got as far as embroidering the squares and that's where I stopped...I don't even think I got them all done. but I lack ambition, I kept saying I would finish it when I get married...LOL...seems I have tons of time to finish it..so really why rush?!?!?!?! (Jen you'd love the squares...remind me some day and I'll bring them in to show you!)
Anyways (holy off topic Batman) Jen's blog is her weeks events..what she did all week. Her blog was really long and included pictures. Now I'll do my blog like she did hers....umm I can't remember what day she started with...anyways I'll start with Sunday.
Last Sunday I went shopping with my friend Celeste (no she doesn't see the future or tell fortunes...LOL Any Day's Fans out there??) I actually invited her to come with me, as I hate shopping alone and figured she could help me find a new bra...which was the purpose of the shopping spree. I went to Lilanne (or whatever) in the mall. yup they had bras that fit...but not right...my boobs were literally not fitting in the cups, all my other bras that are the same size fit FINE! The lady says Maybe you are a bigger cup size...No I says...I am wearing that size right now and as you can see it fits fine. After trying on several very nice bras (rather pricey too) nothing was suiting me. So Celeste and I continued our adventure through the mall on to Reitmans, I looked at two skirts there that came to about half way down my calves. Celeste had 2 arm fulls of stuff to try on, so into the dressing room we went. I tried on the jean skirt and immediately didnt like it. We came out of the dressing rooms to show each other....I said What do you think? Celseste says...I don't think it's you...I said I think it's the length of the skirt. I pulled the skirt up to knee level and said now what do you think...Celeste says yeah it's the length of the skirt..Yup I agreed and that was the end of that! Celeste bought a nice blue dress shirt there. We next went to Aldo (as she was looking for a pair of shoes). Ok, I don't usually get my shoes at shoe stores, I'm a walmart girl! LOL Anyways....Aldo doesn't have normal shoe sizes..there are no size 7s or 6s..it's 36 and 38 or something crazy! LOL So she picked out a cute pair of shoes to begin with I liked them I would have fell over in them because the heel was sooo high..but they were cute..but the didn't have them in brown in her size (of course) So then the sales guy showed her some pointed toed shoes. I am not a fan of pointed toe shoes..not sure why...I think they look like elf shoes! If only they curled at the ends! LOL Anyways, she was trying them on and I was curling my nose up at them. The sales guy says see how nice these are. I said if she was an elf maybe. He said well look at how it makes her foot appear longer and her legs thinner. I said I don't see that I just see a pointed toe and think she should have on a green and red outfit and be sitting on a sleigh with a guy in a red and white suit..LOL The sales guy did chuckle, however, then he looked at Celeste and said don't listen to her. LMAO
After the shopping trip I didn't really do much of anything. Relaxed all night.
Monday. I slept all day and I do mean all day. I woke up at 8am on Sunday and was back in bed by 1030am. I was awake at 8pm (wake at several other times of the day too, but not out of bed) got up for a bit back to sleep by 11pm and slept until my alarm went off at 4am. At that time I did not want to get out of bed! LOL I had only slept the whole day of Monday away..but still didn't wanna get out of bed.
Tuesday. worked at UPS was a slow day didn't do anything after work.
Wednesday. Nothing again but work at UPS.
Thursday. Nothing again but work at UPS
Friday. Worked at UPS and the video store. Wish TJ would take the change to the bank cuz it's a pain to count! LOL
Saturday (today). Went for breakfast with Melissa and Darren. Seen Frosh everywhere I went! LOL Shineorama Day! I remember doing that when I was in university! I gave thenm 4 bucks..would have gave more but didn't have any other change in my pocket! LOL Breakfast with Darren and Melissa at the Blue Canoe was good...love their breakfast and I loved the company! Melissa stood in line forever to get a peanut butter sqaure! I hope it was very YUMMY Melissa to make it worth the wait! LOL Darren and I of course complained the whole time we waited for her! LOL Hey what are friends for!?!? HAHA. I went to get groceries afterwards. How is it that a person can spend so much on food?!?! We all just poop it back out anyways!!!! LOL
I had a few interesting people into the video store today. It's amazing how dumb people can be. Seriously, it's a video store and people think they don't have to return movies?!?! I was asked today "You mean I have to bring the movie back?" I was screaming inside to say "no dumbass just keep it for the rest of your life for 1 dollar plus tax!!!" but I didn't, I just stated that we rented movies. Honestly tho! LOL.
That's enough of an update for now! LOL I'll try to update again sometime this week.
Anyways (holy off topic Batman) Jen's blog is her weeks events..what she did all week. Her blog was really long and included pictures. Now I'll do my blog like she did hers....umm I can't remember what day she started with...anyways I'll start with Sunday.
Last Sunday I went shopping with my friend Celeste (no she doesn't see the future or tell fortunes...LOL Any Day's Fans out there??) I actually invited her to come with me, as I hate shopping alone and figured she could help me find a new bra...which was the purpose of the shopping spree. I went to Lilanne (or whatever) in the mall. yup they had bras that fit...but not right...my boobs were literally not fitting in the cups, all my other bras that are the same size fit FINE! The lady says Maybe you are a bigger cup size...No I says...I am wearing that size right now and as you can see it fits fine. After trying on several very nice bras (rather pricey too) nothing was suiting me. So Celeste and I continued our adventure through the mall on to Reitmans, I looked at two skirts there that came to about half way down my calves. Celeste had 2 arm fulls of stuff to try on, so into the dressing room we went. I tried on the jean skirt and immediately didnt like it. We came out of the dressing rooms to show each other....I said What do you think? Celseste says...I don't think it's you...I said I think it's the length of the skirt. I pulled the skirt up to knee level and said now what do you think...Celeste says yeah it's the length of the skirt..Yup I agreed and that was the end of that! Celeste bought a nice blue dress shirt there. We next went to Aldo (as she was looking for a pair of shoes). Ok, I don't usually get my shoes at shoe stores, I'm a walmart girl! LOL Anyways....Aldo doesn't have normal shoe sizes..there are no size 7s or 6s..it's 36 and 38 or something crazy! LOL So she picked out a cute pair of shoes to begin with I liked them I would have fell over in them because the heel was sooo high..but they were cute..but the didn't have them in brown in her size (of course) So then the sales guy showed her some pointed toed shoes. I am not a fan of pointed toe shoes..not sure why...I think they look like elf shoes! If only they curled at the ends! LOL Anyways, she was trying them on and I was curling my nose up at them. The sales guy says see how nice these are. I said if she was an elf maybe. He said well look at how it makes her foot appear longer and her legs thinner. I said I don't see that I just see a pointed toe and think she should have on a green and red outfit and be sitting on a sleigh with a guy in a red and white suit..LOL The sales guy did chuckle, however, then he looked at Celeste and said don't listen to her. LMAO
After the shopping trip I didn't really do much of anything. Relaxed all night.
Monday. I slept all day and I do mean all day. I woke up at 8am on Sunday and was back in bed by 1030am. I was awake at 8pm (wake at several other times of the day too, but not out of bed) got up for a bit back to sleep by 11pm and slept until my alarm went off at 4am. At that time I did not want to get out of bed! LOL I had only slept the whole day of Monday away..but still didn't wanna get out of bed.
Tuesday. worked at UPS was a slow day didn't do anything after work.
Wednesday. Nothing again but work at UPS.
Thursday. Nothing again but work at UPS
Friday. Worked at UPS and the video store. Wish TJ would take the change to the bank cuz it's a pain to count! LOL
Saturday (today). Went for breakfast with Melissa and Darren. Seen Frosh everywhere I went! LOL Shineorama Day! I remember doing that when I was in university! I gave thenm 4 bucks..would have gave more but didn't have any other change in my pocket! LOL Breakfast with Darren and Melissa at the Blue Canoe was good...love their breakfast and I loved the company! Melissa stood in line forever to get a peanut butter sqaure! I hope it was very YUMMY Melissa to make it worth the wait! LOL Darren and I of course complained the whole time we waited for her! LOL Hey what are friends for!?!? HAHA.

Picking yourself up
So when something goes wrong or bad in life, the saying that comes to mind is Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep on going. Somtimes it's hard to pick yourself up, but usually with great friends, you can manage to do it more quickly then you thought possible.
I don't like picking myself up...i like staying in the upper area...LOL but I do fall. And I usually hit hard. I'm at a point where I need to pick myself up, dust myself off and remember that I am a fairly good person and that someday someone will see that, and until then don't let it bother me that not everyone realizes what a good person I am.

Mind Reading
Why is it that people expect others to be able to read their minds? I for one am NOT a mind reader. I have no idea what people are thinking. There are a few people who I can tell are upset or angry by their actions or expressions, but this does not make me a mind reader.
I had a situation on Thursday where I told someone something and they blew up at me saying that they were upset about a situation in their life. The person and I had talked about the situation earlier and everything seemed fine, new game plans were in place and decisions were waiting to be made. I figured the situation was dealt with. Apparently not because I was not sympathetic or supportive to this person in their eyes. WTF I think I'm too sympathetic, I always put myself in someone elses shoes and I do it for long periods of time, seriously....I always think of others before myself. It was very hurtful for them to tell me I wasn't supportive or sympathetic.
I figure that since this person thought I should have known (even tho it was never said) that he was upset...when everything appeared fine regarding the situation. I knew there would be a degree of disappointment and frustration that would come with the type of situation, but didn't know how much until they blew up at me.
Then this person disappeared for 3 days...and is still missing. I haven't talked to them in 3 days, not that I care at this moment because I find they have been extremely immature and are avoiding the situation. That's right little one RUNNING Away from problems is definitely how you fix them! Nice to know this now tho rather then after years have passed.
Anyways I felt like venting..thought this would be a good place..plus Jen's been after me for an update! Sorry Jen I'll be sure the next one is more HAPPY! LOL
