i'm awake

Hello adandoned livejournal. It's been a while.
Things with me are going good since the last update. Busy, but good! I'm keeping busy with school now (instead of work), going on some exciting trips and a concert in the near future, and other than that, just being lazy. I'm going to Florida in february during my reading week and I can't wait! I need a vacation. I'm also going on a road trip to Toronto this thursday for Nick Carter's birthday bash...I can't wait for that! AND the concert I mentioned is Elton John and Billy Joel in May. Perfectness.

This deserves it's own entry...

August 8, 2008 (8/08/08) I'll be seeing the Backstreet Boys
Wooooo :) Can't wait.

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same

I worked on saturday for inventory and I got the option of going home after 4 hours so I did. This weekend was more relaxing than I thought. We didn't end up going out on saturday night for our theme nights at the loop because of the snow. It snowed a LOT all day yesterday and it was really cold and windy out. Shitty! I hate when the weather ruins plans! So I decied to watch a movie with my parents,but the movie that I wanted to watch on digital cable wasn't working. The rest of them were working fine except that one. So I just read my book a lot and relaxed all night. Today I scrapbooked with Kristen for a few hours and I finished my scrapbook. I like this one...it's my 4th one I did since we started scrapbooking. It's fun. We also watched Dawson's Creek and I forgot how good that show was and how much I used to love it! Oh friday was fun too. Andrea came over and we had a date with Ben & Jerry's ice cream and we started making a list for our vacation and reminisced over old photos of us. That's always fun! So this weekend was pretty good...just wish we could have went out too!! There's always next weekend lol...

I went shopping. Again. It was mostly cause I had gift cards still but I used the mall one up and kept on buying. I bought 3 sweaters (2 for $5 each and 1 for $10), a new shirt which I wore out last night, and a purse for $3. Good buys.

Last night was The 26th. The big night at the Loop. It was soo much fun! Andrea, Kristen, me and Natasha started out the night at my house playing a drinking game that Andrea bought for me like 5 years ago but we never played it before. It got us pretty drunk fast and then we were on our way to the Loop to drink some more and dance the night away. And sooo many people were there, it felt like everyone. I took about 30 pictures! lol

We're one step closer to booking our trip. We know what week we're going at least, and we just have to book it off work tomorrow. Hopefully we'll both get it off, but I don't see it being a prorblem cause it's at the end of april and it's not a peak vacation month. I am excited.

Today I'm scrapbooking with Kristen. I'm excited cause the scrapbook I'm working on is fun pictures of the downtown life when we started going years ago.

So I bought a new laptop. One day sometime last week I thought to myself after seeing a good deal on a laptop in the future shop ad, "I kinda want a laptop". Next thing I know I was on my way to future shop buying my new laptop. I never really liked using them before; I liked using desktops a lot better, but I've gotten used to it and I really like it! Mostly cause it's all mine, not a family computer. Not that I have anything to hide, but I like having my own thing and no one else but me can use it. :)

In 10 days Joel and I are going to Toronto to see Mika in concert, and just to get away for a night :) I booked a nice looking hotel somewhere downtown and hopefully it'll be a nice and relaxing time!! I can't wait! That also means a short week of work cause we booked off tuesday and wednesday. I'm just hoping for no snow cause I don't know how I'll manage driving there and back if it snows a lot.

Yesterday Andrea and I had a game night and played fun board games that our boyfriends don't particularly like playing with us :p We also looked stuff up for our trip. I'm getting excited!

I worked afternoons this week and kept busy during the week before and after work. I forget what I did now, but I got some stuff done, some christmas shopping, my car cd player fixed, stuff like that. This weekend was good. Friday after work I went out with Kristen. We drank at her house and went to biggs and subway. We danced and everything which was fun cause I haven't danced in a while! I got pretty drunk...and I'm so sad cause we are only working together for a couple more weeks and it's going to suck without her :( It's depressing.
Saturday at noon I went to the restaurant for Nancy's surprise baby shower. That was fun and filling. We were there for 3 hours, we ate soo much food I thought I was going to explode, Nancy loved all her gifts, and we had some good talks and laughs. It was a good time. When I went home I helped my dad put up the christmas lights outside, then I went to Joel's and we just hung out all night. We ordered some pizza in the evening, played a lot of Wii bowling, watched some tv, stuff like that. Today I went to Kristen's at 5 and we scrapbooked for 5 1/2 hours. I actually started and finished a whole srapbook. My first two I worked on for weeks (doing it once a week) or even a couple months. This one was my Florida vacation I took a few weeks ago. I'm proud of it, especially for doing it all in one day. We watched a lot of tv shows too.
It's windy and cold outside :( I'm looking forward to shopping in the states once again this week. I love shopping!

I started my christmas shopping. On friday ("black friday") Andrea and I (and her mom!) headed to the states to go shopping. Just like every other year, everyone warned us that it's going to be soooo busy, we're gonna be waiting at the border for 2 hours, everything good is going to be sold out, we're gonna get trampled, we're gonna have to pay duty on the way back, our purse is going to be stolen, etc. And every year we come back saying that none of the above happened. There was NO traffic at the border. Actually, it was the emptiest I've ever seen it. We found good stuff. We did not have to pay duty on the way back, or even show our id's at the border. So it was a good shopping trip, and I'm glad to have started my christmas shopping. I'm actually over half done, probably. We have to make another trip there soon so I can finish! Also, we finally found what we were looking for for over a year now. Bass Pro sweatshirts. They were only $10, although I would have bought it if it were even more, and they are really comfortable. I'm so happy we found them.

I had a dream a few nights ago that I was pregnant. Then a couple nights later I had a dream that me and Joel had a baby boy. Is that weird?

I know a few months ago I said I am DONE with buying clothes cause I buy too much. The last time I went to the states before last friday, I bought a lot of clothes. But I can't help it if I find good shorts, capris, and shirts for $3 each or less. They were mostly summer clothes but I wore them to florida and now I have new shorts and capris for next year. And I also bought a couple tube tops at the mall here. But now, I really should stop buying clothes. My room is getting too congested and I had to buy another over-the-door-hook for my other door, just to make some room in my closet for all the new stuff. I have a problem.

Well well well. Here I am again, upadting when I have nothing else to do on a lazy sunday afternoon. I went downtown last night for Kristen's birthday and it was a good time! I came home with Joelers and I'm still here and I'm bored because he's playing halo. I'm excited because I have one more week of work left and then I'm going to florida for a week. It will be nice and relaxing and hopefully we have nice, hot weather! It's november now and it's still not even that cold yet here. I would rather have it be snowing when I go to florida so I can laugh at everyone who's freezing up here! But really, I'm not complaining. I don't really like the cold so I'm glad it's not freezing or snowing here yet.

In other news, I bought the new Backstreet Boys cd the day it came out. It took us a while to find the deluxe additions, but after looking in about 5 stores, we found 2 copies of it. (I needed another one for Natasha but we couldn't find it) The cd is AMAZING. I love it to pieces! I can't wait for them to go on tour; it's gonna be an amazing show! (or two or three shows, depending on where they're going around me!)

I feel so lazy right now. I'm watching Joel's rats wrestling and now they stopped and are watching me. I think they want some cheerios.

I saw Brian Littrell in concert on September 14. He put on such an amazing show and I love his cd so much. This put me on a Backstreet Boys kick and I'm counting down the days until their new cd Unbreakable comes out. October 30 everyone, go and get it!!

I was just about to post a picture but I don't have them uploaded anywhere. We took tons of pics. I also met a longtime online friend and penpal of mine, Angel. We've been talking since I got the internet pretty much and it was a complete surprise that I saw her there! (She sent me a letter saying she was coming, but I didn't check my mail until the next day and it was in there!) So that was awesome and soo nice of her to come all the way here! They drove a lot cause Minnesota is really far from here! The next night they stayed in windsor so of course I showed them the awesome downtown windsor nightlife. :)

My parents are leaving for Florida this week. I booked a week off work for one of the weeks, just for fun. I'm also going with my sister to Florida in november. So it's nice knowing that I have a few weeks off of work coming up!

I didn't know I've neglected livejournal for so long. But I'm still around and kickin. Sunsplash is this weekend and I'm going [to the beer tent] tonight. I'm getting my car windows tinted next week finally.I bought myself an ipod shuffle. It's cute and I can't wait to put a lot more songs on it and use it. I had a hard time picking a colour but I chose green. I also have 3 concerts coming up that I'm excited about. The weather is beautiful today but I just got up from a nap because I was so tired! I wish I was fully rested but I'm on days at work for 3 weeks instead of just 2 and me and days don't get along too well. I'm never gonna get to sleep in!

Ps. One of the highlights lately was seeing 2 people in a cab doing it.

Good times this weekend.

Only about 3 more weeks til my birthday. I'm not even gonna think about the fact that I'm turning 22. That's so sad.

I love sleeping in until 1:30 in the afternoon. I haven't done that in a while.

I am DONE buying clothes for a while now. With the exception of a new top for my birthday which I think is a need and not a want. I want to go at least a whole month without shopping.

Sometime last week we had some "friends" show up in our backyard. Of course I had to take a picture!!

( Quack )

This weekend has been fun.
I left work early on thursday to go out for Natasha's birthday. There was a bunch of us who went to kelsey's first, where many appetizers were had. They were good. Then we were off to the chubby pickle for some drinky drinks and I drank quite a bit...We even made our way over to woodys to dance!
Friday I just worked and relaxed after work.
Saturday I slept in, did a bunch of stuff around the house that needed to be done, then Joel came over and we had BBQ and left for Mississauga. We got there pretty late and didn't sleep much at all cause it was way too hot and loud in there. Oh well! He wanted to go to a reptile show on sunday morning. We did a lottttt of driving and only stayed at the show for about 30 minutes! Crazy boy. He bought three chameleons so I guess he got what he went there for. We just got back to crappy windsor a while ago.
The weather is beautiful, and we're having cake later for Natasha's birthday. Woo hoo for cake!!

PS. Def Leppard & Styx July 24!!

This was such a good long weekend. A really nice break from work. It actually felt pretty long, too.
In short: The grandparents were down from florida, we went to the mall, and had a huge easter dinner and had fun playin games and such.
I went out and drank 3 nights in a row, all of which were good times. The loop was WILD on saturday. omg!!!
And that is all. Off to work I go...*yawn*

Best night ever at the loop!!!! :_)

I only worked 4 days this week! I feel so rested, believe it or not. I'm so glad we didn't have to work this saturday.

What a weekend.

Friday I went to Joel's and we did some running around, ordered pizza, then did some more running around and he ended up buying a video camera. It's nice and fun and I can't wait to start taking some videos!! That night we played around with it for a bit, then we passed out around 11:30 or so.
Saturday I woke up early to go to the states with my dad. I had something to do at the bank so we got that done, and we were back by around 1pm so we weren't gone long at all. Later that day I met Kristen at the liquor store to buy some coolers and found out that she got our coats back! I've been missing my new black winter coat for a long time now, so I'm glad to finally have it back. Someone wore it for sure cause the pockets were full of some kind of crumbs or something, it reeked of smoke and my gloves were gone :( Oh well, at least I got it back. I got ready, she picked me up at 6, and we drove with Tasha to a hotel her and her bf John got and we drank quite a lot. She did my hair too which took a long time but looked good. We ended up going to woodys and the beach; bars I don't like but we danced the night away so it was pretty fun. I got really tired around 1 and just wanted to go home. I met up with Natasha before 2 and I puked before we got in the car (all over my shoes too! gross) I shouldn't have done tequila. I took a lot of pictures.
Today (sunday) Kristen wanted to practice driving for her road test tomorrow so made a day out of it. We got cream egg mcflurrys (sounds gross, but they're good), she developed pictures, went to designer depot, and drove around a bit. After I got home at 5, Joel came over. We went to the marina, walked around and took some videos, ate dinner, and rented The Guardian.

This week I have to get my taxes done, so I'm going to make an appointment for that tomorrow.

I worked days this week and it went by REALLY fast. I don't know where the week went.
I forget what day, maybe wednesday, I went to the mall with Andrea and I didn't buy any clothes (I've been doing good) but I did buy some lingerie hehe. A girl needs new lingerie every once in a while ;)
Friday Joel and I went to pizza hut, and rented Borat. It was funny.
Saturday we had a girls night! Me, neesh and the Andrea's went out. It was a fun night. We started out hanging out at Andrea's (where she's house sitting) and the funniest thing ever was the sequined jeans. I've never laughed so hard. Then we went downtown and it was a night full of food...stopping by a few stores to get billot logs, going to tim hortons before the bar, slices/mcdonalds after the bar, and tim hortons again on the way home. (I just realized that is quite a lot of food! haha) We went to Dirty's and it was alright! The funniest thing was when we were walking back to the car and Natasha got some white stuff on her jacket and in her hair. Gross. We had no idea what it was. And the drippy/sticky stuff that appeared on the inside of her windsheild out of nowhere.
Today I woke up at 12 and I did quite a lot. I made breakfast, did a load of laundry, swept & washed all the floors in the house, emptied/reloaded the dishwasher, showered, and then Joel came over. We went for a walk to get slushies (first one of the year I think; it's getting nice out!) and I picked up some free lottery tickets that I had a gift certificate for. Please let me win the $12 million. My parents brought home KFC so we ate dinner, then he went home and I went to the funeral home with my parents and Natasha. (Sadness) :( I have tomorrow off work for the funeral.

Me and kristen and tasha went to bigggggs tonight. we drank coolers and shots in her room and talked and gossiped about people from work...then the walk there was soo cold. we had subway which was the best part of the nigiht. We had to pee so bad so we went pee at her friends house then natasha picked us up. THanks neesh!! you saved us. it's so cold outside. FUn night :) K I'm going to bed. Pictures to follow!!

A bunch of us went to the loop last night. I was pretty wasted and the whole night was a riot. I only took 3 pictures because my memory card was full but Natasha took 53, so I guess that's enough pictures. They turned out halarious. Oh there's a video too. It's some funny stuff I tell ya!
Joel came over today and we just watched tv and rented american pie: the naked mile. It was alright.
I'm kind of mad that I booked last weekend off work instead of this upcoming weekend, because I wouldn't have had to work this weekend anyway but I forgot it was inventory. So basically I could have had both weekends off instead of just one. There's always the hope that I won't have to work this weekend though. I'm hoping, cause if I wanted to work overtime I'd rather work it during the week instead.
I got my hair trimmed and dyed yesterday afternoon. It's soft right now and I had a good hair day yesterday and today. I wish it was always this easy to maintain.
