Well happy monday!

Today I had a busy day. I woke up at about 11:45am (I know such a hard life I have) I hopped in the shower right away this morning. I actually didn't want to sleep in so much. I also got up at 7:15am but I wasnt going to stay up at that time! lol anyway, so showered and got side tracked by the evil carlos (cae) on my computer. I ended up talking to him for about an hour or so. I ended up leaving at the time I wanted to be at the hospital. I also had to go to mom and dads before hand because dad brought my health card and lisence and such back from the cottage for me. So i went through main street. Construction. great. If anyone has been to the west end of Hamilton, in front of MacMaster Hospital to be specific, you will know that they're doing major stuff there. But! its starting to look great and I think they're almost done. but the worse part is they are also doing construction on the hospital grounds so I can't cut through to get to cootes drive and avoid all the paving stuff. anyways, I got side tracked there... so I'm late. I need to get bloodwork done 24 hours after I've taken the pills. I can be an hour here or there but it usually shows. So got to Dundas grabbed my stuff from mom and dads and headed back out into construction land. got through it. my appointments at 2:30. I was hoping to get bloodwork done a lil before hand so by the time my appointment came they would have the results. After going up Queen street and onto Hiekemer BAM! no road! friggin!! take the darn detour. then lucky me i found a parking spot on the raod right infront of St Joes Hospital. Great for when I'm done clinic. But in order to get my blood take I had to walk down the road, up James street and into a building that isnt attached to the hospital. well it is but it was easier to walk around then through the hospital. I almost melted! So friggin hot! What is up with the heat?! I thought it was suppose to be cooler this year? *sigh* who knows.

So I finally got my blood done and hiked it across the hospital only to show up at 2:25 for my appointment. Nurse came in and took my "stats" good new I lost weight since January. Thought so! Bloodpressure is perfecto! 120/80 can't get much better than that! But I'm bad and I don't get my bloodwork done in between so I heard it from everyone! Now I have to get it once a month and if my levels are good my doctor is going to take me off of prednisone! yay! very awesome. The only time I've been off that since I was three was for two years when I was on dailysis. YAY! So I guess it sounds like a good plan. get me more into the routine of going. ANYWAYS! Tomorrow I'm heading up the to cottage for the rest of the week. I don't know when I'm coming home. Maybe never. lol Actually probably Saturday. Beat traffic and I'm sure thats about as long as I need with mom. I plan to just go around and find out things around town. Head over to Bancroft check out that cake shop I saw there before and the Dairy :) Maybe this week I'll catch a fish!!! ya that would be exciting! hehe I guess I should stop writing cause tonight for some reason I could go one forever! The End..

Top 5 this year (year starting May 31)

On my birthday mom said to me make a list of the top 5 things you wants to do just for fun this year. So I've come up with a few. I'm not sure if they're realistic or not but I'm going to try my darndest to accomplish them.

1. top of the list is obviously Brazil. I want to see the Amazon Rain forest. Go see Cae and possibly Viv. By the way things are going down there the economy is booming and before it cost way too much I want to get down there. It would just be an amazing trip of a life time. My goal last year was to make it there in October of this year, but since my car ate up my flight money, hopfully I'll be there by my birthday next year.

2. Skydiving. How awesome would that be?! I never really wanted to bungee jump cause theres always that fear of the rope breaking or having that bouce back a little unpleasent. I dunno. I've just always wanted to skydive.

3. Paint my kitchen. I want to change things in my kitchen. I'm not sure if I'll be staying here or not though. I want to paint the cupboards and put some handles on them. Just some little touch up that should be fairly fast.

4. Take pictures. Travel outside of just Hamilton and take pictures. Find the little sideroads in the country kids playing in the streets all that sorta stuff.

5. Ice Cream. Eat lots and lots of Ice Cream at the Kwaratha Dairy. lol. I'm failing greatly on this one this year. I had more ice cream last year in a month at the cottage than I have in the past 3 this year. I was also at the cottage more then I have been this year, but that will soon be fixed!

5 and a half. I also want to drag my friends up to the cottage for weekends etc. Now I have it avalible to me, I can take friends and everything whenever I want. Just lots of fun to be had up there!

Not much happenin around here...

So its saturday afternoon. I was up at about 10am but i stayed in bed til about 11:30. well actually romeo was hungry and most of us know he doesnt shut up until he gets fed. My eyes are seriously killing me today. I think its a mix of too much salt from Boston Pizza and weather. I hope it rains like its suppose to cause i hate being like this. It's yet another one of my migranes in its many forms and I don't want to spend my weekend inside. Stuff to do, places to go, people to see. I was suppose to go to the cottage yesterday, but i told mom I was coming without Lisa and well Lisa said thre was too much to do around here in a really pissy voice to me so shes not going. Yet shes been up for three hours and hasnt done anything. go figure. So I'm going to go to the cottage probably Tuesday. I have clinic on Monday, and I have to phone Gary on Tuesday see if will train me on the computers so I can do some work for dad. Let me tell you I'm not impressed with that one. I went in on Friday and he said he was too busy. Well thanks. Not like I have anything better to do than sit around waiting for him to phone me. Not that he did. I went in and he asked me what I was doing there. Well gee I dunno! Maybe if I see dad over the weekend I'll talk to him about it. Just really frustrating cause I want to go to the cottage and I want to get things done for dad and make money at the same time. I hate waiting around! lol So tonight I have the house to myself. What am I going to do? HMMMMMMMM maybe just enjoy it. Lisas going somewhere, I don't know but shes taking Laura with her. So who knows. (what I learn from easedropping) Not like Lisa and I really see eachother while here but its kinda cool just to have a night to myself once in a while. Happens on a rare occasion. My last episode of Jamies School Dinners is on Food network tonight. I think its really amazing what hes doing. If i had the power to do what he's done I think I would do the same thing here. Although were not as bas as the kids were in England but our cafeteria foods could use some shaping up i think. Of course if its the same as what i was eatting in highschool. Oh god I feel old now lol. Anyway, I'm going to go shower now. Maybe life will get more exciting soon.

Is it Friday yet??

My mind is a lil blank at the moment. Yesterday went by pretty fast for not really doing much. I got up at about 10. had my shower, blogged and I went to dads work around 1 so Gary could do things with my laptop. I think I'm going to be doing some pricing stuff for dad, so I have to go back on Friday afternoon and be taught. Should be interesting to do. So I got home at about 2:30. And did nothing! I have absolutly nothing to do this week and I think I might go mad! At about 11pm I picked up Timmy and we went to the Burlington harbour. I wanted to take pictures of the moon on the water and just play with the camera a little. So Timmy came with me. I need a tripod. lol The pictures turned out pretty cool, but the shutter is so slow if I move the camera at all it leaves the lights and such all squwiggley. So I think dad has one so maybe I'll head over there today and snoop around. Go back to Burlington tonight with the full moon and try again. I hope it works... Step by step im figuring this camera out. I should probably read the manual lol. Anyways, I'm going to shower, and I guess head over to mom and dads and find that tripod.


Burlington Harbour @ the end of Brant St.

Along Lakeshore just before La Salle Park

Why was it so good?

Monday morning. just. I'm not completely awake yet but my coffees on and im gettin there. Its gorgeous out! This weekend was a good weekend. I was in a very bubbley mood and mom and dad were in a good mood as well. It was nice. No fighting. I'm not sure why it was such a great weekend. Everything starting from the drive up should have pointed in the very bad weekend direction. It started with the 7 hour drive up. Maybe cause I left not wanting to go, so my mind wasn't in the driving frame. I had to go to Toronto to pick up some eye drops from Toronto Sick Kids. So that was fine. Traffic was a lil slow due to construction but an hour from Dundas is ok. As i ran into Sick Kids I gave Maddie a lil rawhide leather so she wouldn't chew everything else. Took me 10 minutes to get my meds. Now I had to figure out how to get to the 400 from Sick Kids. So I figured back track to the 427. So off i went. Of course getting on the the gardnier is always slow at frist. 20 minutes later traffic was good. Took the 427 exit and it put me out too far to pick up the 400. Why do I always do this?! So back tracked and decided well fine, I'll just go all the way back to like Burlington and pick up the 407. Should only take me 20 minutes to get back. Traffic jam. thought i was going to die! An hour taken up by backtracking and like an hour and a half to get back to Burlington. Then I thought do I really want to go to the cottage now? I was going to hit traffic in Barrie and by this time I was in the mood. Also poor Maddie in the back being an angel. I must say say ever since she was 3 monthes old, mom and I have been travelling to find cottages etc with her and she just sleeps the whole way. She for sure a travelling dog. So I went. I somehow managed to stay just ahead of the traffic and made it to the Haliburton, in day light (for once) and by 7pm. With one stop in Gravenhurst to pee since I had to since on my way to Toronto.


So, when i got to the cottage it was pouring rain. Yet another reason I should of stayed home. I left sun to get wet in the rain. Went in and unloaded some of the food mom sent up with me. Decided I was going to make soup. So peeled potatoes and cut up onions. Made cream of potato and onion soup since it was all we had up there. After that mom and dad showed up at about 10:30. They had a wedding in Stouffville? so came up after that. Gave them some soup as mom asked me how my drive was. lol She asked why I didnt just stay home. I don't know lol. So then She asked me what i want to do this weekend. I said i want to go to the dairy and catch a fish. My goal this summer is to go to the dairy and everytime I go I have to try a different flavour. As many know I LOVE the Kwaratha Dairy Ice Cream and plan to be there alot. So Saturday comes. Got up at noon. Best sleep ever! Mom also left me alone. I woke up as they pulled in the drive from going into town. I had my shower and dad and mom and I (and of course maddie) went out in the boat. Overcast and raining all Saturday. Another reason I shouldn't have left home. Mom drove the boat. I just vegged and looked around. Then we came back. Mom went up and dad and I went back out in the boat. I tried fishing. No fish. Got back at about 5:30. Mom was in bed, dad and I had soup and Dad went to bed. Then I read some of the boating book and we just vegged around the cottage. Sunday we planned to go to town to get ice cream. It didnt happen. Instead we went out in the boat again. Mom drove again. I fished as we trolled. Then mom had to go pee. Again. Shes worse than the dog. An hour out and shes gotta go pee. So dad and i took her back then went out again. This time I was ready with the camera. gave up on the darn fish. 2 hours and nothin but a snag. Dumb fish! So took some awesome pictures! Loons, of a seagull taking off really neat things. ended up taking like 40. Started to head back. The whole time I was thinking, the camera was on Automatic. NO! The camera was on manual and I didnt know! F*** So I turned it to Auto. By this time it was too late. All my pictures turned out almost black cause I didn't know so I didn't adjust the light. I almost died. Thank goodness we have loons all over our lake and I can get them again. But what I couldn't understand was why my pics of Maddie turned out before we left, and some on the boat turned out, but 50% of them didnt. oh well. So All in all things went ok. Even though My pictures didn't turn out, I didn't get ice cream, it was overcast and I didn't catch a fish. lol. I'm probably going to go up next weekend with Lisa and just go into Bancroft and such do some towning. Get ice cream! lol.

at home again..

Friday night and I am home again! YAY! this weather is driving me mad! the past three days have been complete migranes days. i've been hoping between the bed and the couch, everything is pretty blurry lol. But now that the sun has come out, just in time to go down, im feelin a lil better. hopfully tomorrow i'll feel ok since i have to drive to the cottage. *ugh* It's like taking one the best of the worse. so i stay and look after the crazy dog and get no sleep or do i go put up with mom for a weekend. since its almost 9pm and james hasnt called me yet... *james can u feel the evil stare* i have to leave at noon tomorrow. i should probably ask dad for the code to get into the cottage. might help. hehe. if u havent noticed i just dont want to do anything this weekend. lol although i wouldnt have minded staying at mom and dads without maddie for the weekend. omg someone save me! lol now im freezing and tired so im heading to bed early.

May you find some comfort here...

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

blahzeh..

Here I be. Tuesday evening. My mind is rather blank today. Just drifts off. Good thing I didn't really have any plans. Maybe due to the fact I didn't sleep well. Went to bed at 3am, woke up at 5am, went pee then fell asleep til 9:30am. So none sleeping mood last night, i ended up making a pasta salad, and a tomato and cucumber salad and some egg salad for sandwiches today. I think lisas eatten half of it all lol. So after I woke up, dad phoned me. Completely mad at me. Makes me upset. He never listens to me anymore when he gets in those moods and it really frustrates me. He used to be the only one i could go and talk to. Now I feel completely shut out from his life. oh well.. so then he stopped by and picked up the stupid table, didnt say anything to me. Picked it up and left. well fine, so I think that kinda has dampered my mood today as well. So to brighten my up a lil I went to visit Jen on her break. I haven't seen her in about a week and a half. (I know not too bad but consider I usually see her every other day at least) What is up with all this rain?!
anyway, im just so *ho hum* today... so im going to go find something to eat for dinner since i already had my yummy dessert! so good! i threw together some chopped fruit, whipped some whip cream up and put some vanilla syrup in it (they stuff u put in coffee) then i have some vanilla ice cream with white choco flakes in it and then pile it all on top of a mirange nest. Soooooooo good!! anyway.. dinner i go find.
and wow its later than i thought!

My Thoughts

Cold and tired I sit alone
My thoughts drift as I think of you
I've only talk for a few yet there's a spot that you've made
My thoughts drift as I think of you
I wish for you near, beside me to warm me
I want to tell your heart you'll be ok.
That I will shelter you from the coldness of the world
As I think of you...
My thoughts

Too much humitity today!

For planning nothing today, i certainly got a lot done. I went grocery shopping, then headed over to mom and dads. Mom asked me to pick up from the vets, so i had to get her interac card to pay for things. I didn't cry! thank goodness! But we got a lil footprint done and I opened it to look at it and closed it pretty fast cause I felt like i was going to cry lol. So I took her back to mom and dads. dad showed me some stuff that he was looking at one the computer. I guess he thinks the maps and such are kinda cool of Miskwabi Lake that our cottage is on. Then I realized I had eggs in the car and probably should get them home. So I ran out the door. lol. OH CRAP! I forgot to call Jeff *sigh* oh well Monday. *random thought* so then I got home and went outside with Lisa for a little while. Kept her company while she started to dig up the field in the back yard. I think instead fo grass we're going to make a big garden. should be rather cool. Then i came inside and started to make some pasta salad. Roasted some red peppers on the BBQ while I was out there. Can't wait to have some of that! Then went outside again and kept Lisa company again for about 10 minutes. Then she gave up and we came inside. Talked to Sarah for a lil and then we went for ice cream! I LOVE ICE CREAM! lol I can't wait to go to the Kwaratha Dairy in Bobcaygen. They make the best ice cream in the world! The best part is the Haliburton grocery stores sell tube of it! SO GREAT! Speaking of the cottage.. anyone up for heading up with me and Maddie on Friday? Mom and dad are going to a wedding and I have to look after Maddie. Not looking foward to it! Shes crazy! I really don't want to go up to the cottage just because mom and dad will be there after the wedding on Friday night, but I also dont want to look after Maddie at mom and dads all weekend. Hmmm maybe it kinda would be nice to spend the weekend at mom and dads. Who knows. I guess really if anyone wants to come with me to the cottage, let me know if not I'll stay at mom and dads for the weekend. Yeap sounds like my plan. Anyway! I think I'll go cut up those peppers for the salad. Maybe even wash my car. Maybe thats a tomorrow thing.

I'm a WEINNER!

So tonight I went out with shannon and sarah to Slances. didn't really feel like going but its turned out pretty good. sarah asked us to join her because she didnt want to meet up with her highschool friends alone. so i went. figured what the hell need to get out anyways. so i went picked up sarah and shannon. got to the pub and didnt see the guys so we headed upstairs. about an hour later brad? i think his name is, came up and found us. then sarah and shannon finished off their drinks and we decided to go down and see the "guys" Saarah got a drink and i got free coffee cause i was the DD. (thank u mister bartender!!) sat down and then the guys wanted to go upstairs. so we went back up. chit chatted a while and while doing so some papers were floating around for some contest. i thought it had to do with kilkenny cause it was on the top of the paper. maybe some cool prize. got up to go to the bathroom, a couple hours later. while i was there i heard the band saying something about "we'll wait til they come back" and i thought to myself.. wouldnt it be weird if i walked out and everyone was staring at me. i walked out, everyone was staring at me. the band guy said congratulations Leanne!! then shannon told me i won tickets to the blue jays. i put up my arms and said "YAY ME!" and that was that lol. I havent been to a game in like 10 years lo... so it should be interesting. i always win when i dont know what im winning. very odd. so after that i took shannon and sarah to sarahs house got home at 1:45am and ate some tater salad now im tired and going off to bed at 2:33am. YAY MEEEEEEE!!!!!

Watchin the skies

Check Out what was going on when you were born

YAY Jamie!

good morning! I don't know what to write. I havent been up to much relly. yesterday I went to Costco with Aunt Jackie. spent too much and came home with nothing lol. 3 bags of perogies for 7.99!!! I cant make them that cheap!! They're not the best I've had, but of course when you're used to making them, store bought will never stack up. Then when I got home, I went to get Timmy. see if he could help me with my router. He didnt know any more than I did really, so I called D-Link. I'm not sure why Lisa couldnt do that a week ago so I didnt have to use dial up for a week. But I said screw it! I'm going to do it even if she does yell at me for being on her computer. So 20 minutes later, I had my laptop working. I guess the girl thought thats all I needed cause she didn't help me get Lisas computer working. So I called back. Got James on the phone and 10 minutes with him everything was peachy pie! So now I have my wireless back and the oodles of people who never phone me can get a hold of me again. So took timmy home after having some pizza and stuff. then last night i really didnt do much at all.

I did watch Jamie Olivers new show on the food network. Jamie's School Dinners... I think its amazing what hes trying to do! I definately think that the schools need help in the food department. Like when I was in highschool all I remember for lunches was french fries and pop and all that crap. its horrible! So many cootos to Jamie for trying to change the way our kid eat! It will help with many health problems down the line, the way kids think and everything! Way to be Jamie! (And I'm not just saying this because I love him! lol)

Here's to Friday...

at about noon I came over to moms to print out some pictures. First thing I noticed was that Friday wasn't on the porch. So I asked. Where's my baby? Mom told me to come and she would tell me. I walked through the door already about to cry. Fridays at the vets. She was short of breath and mom took her this morning. I sat down as dad phoned mom to tell her what was up. Something with her spleen and shes bleeding from it. Were guessing cancer has caused it. and in that case shes being put down. I am a mess! Friday is my baby. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. The house already feels empty. She was the dog that was by my side while I was sick. If i was sad. Everything. And now shes not at my feet. So I've phone Lisa. Dads going to talk to Laura at 2:30pm and tell her cause shes going to have to leave work. Then we're going to go up to the vets to be with her. I'm still not over Bella dying for gosh sake. Anyway, I'm much better now. I'm not breaking down and crying every 5 minutes.

May 30-June 5th

I'm sitting in the midst of my tiredness and thinking. It's never a good thing for me to do. This week was my birthday week as many know. For some reason every year I get in this little rut at this time. I'm not sure if its a lil birthday depression or what. But this year, my week has gone a little differently.

Monday was my birthday. I had a great day! people were wishing me happy birthday left, right and centre. A lot of people I didn't think would even remember it. People I didn't even know! And I also booked my car to go into the dealership to get the timing belt done.

Tuesday a little stressed. I started to get a lil stressed from my car that was going in on Wednesday. So I cleaned. Seems to be the thing I do.

Wednesday I took my car into Roseland Voltswagon. Felt kinda better 'cause it was something I need to get done. At the same time I'm thinking to myself that, that was just airfare to Brazil. Mike (yet another one) at the dealership gave me a ride home. Then since my house was clean I had nothing to do but chat to people. So I started talking to Mike online. Talking about my car and how Brett just phone me and told me what all had to be done. Timing belt - 600. no surprise. GlowPlug - 150 bucks. alright it happens. Brakes - 600 bucks... (they told me Fall season) makes me start to think... sure that happens too. Even though it's the second time in 6 years. And then my starter, another 600 bucks. Mike tells me to phone Mike at Joes Auto in Hamilton. I do. He tells me they're crazy for charging me that much. Asks me if i can stop them from doing anything more on the car and bring it to him. I told VW to do the timing belt and the plug thats it. Picked the car up $832 later.

Thursday - Met Mike for coffee 9am. As I said to Jen, I forgot to be nervous. He took me over to see Mike about my car. Mike the mechanic told me the parts were expensive but he would charge me a lot for labour. "okay. how much?" ... "800 bucks for the brakes and starter." as he said with this look like "I'm so sorry!" in his eyes. There goes one week in Brazil. The two of them asked if that was ok. Well no but i can't do it any cheaper, and it has to be done. right? so what else can I do. And it's still 400 bucks cheaper than VW.

Friday - Took the car in. Took the bus home. Mike kinda laughed at me when he asked me how I was getting home. Decided to get off a few stops early just to walk home and listened to my discman. Thought maybe I could create a business selling deoderant to people before they step onto the bus. Cae liked this idea and asked if I could come to Brazil and sell it to some of his patients. I might be able so make some money off this! So then, I got a migrane. Went to bed for a couple hours. My cell phone rang 3 times. Auto shop, Jen, Auto shop. Mike said he would phone me at 2. I was amazed it was ready and done for me exactly when he said it would be. *shocked a man actually called when he said he would!* So I hopped on the bus and went back.

MIKE: "Wanna see ur brakes?" ME: "i dunno, do I?" "
MIKE".. probably not!" "OMG! they said they had a little rust!" MIKE: "This is probably one of the worst I've seen!.. come on I'll take you for a ride"

So Mike took me out in my car just to make sure things went ok. (I'm assuming) Had a lil convo in the car. Was pretty nice actually. Got back and followed him inside.
Paid him. 20 bucks short. Crap! Gave him a box of Girl Guide cookies. (I don't know if anyone else noticed this year they're horrible!) Anyway, told me not to worry about the 20 bucks, but of course I'll take it to him tomorrow. Friday night, feelin alright. Lotta stress off with the car being done. But haven't talked to Mike online in a couple days. Kinda worries me because of whats going on in his life right now.

Saturday - James comes over about 2:30pm. Hot Dan drops him off. Didnt meet him then though. James is all gitty and happy and cute. Comes in and tells me hes got a Boyfriend named Hot Dan lol. YAY JAMES! *Leanne officially the last single girl standing in her group of friends* (not that James is a girl) So Lisa and him went to get my cake and booze. I went out to get salsa. Came home. Made James have a nap in my bedroom.
I did nothing around the house for a couple hours. Then woke james up (woke him with the flash of my camera)and I had a coffee. That worked! I was wired! It was about 7pm and after my coffee I opened the Arbour Mist Wine. Or should I say juice? Downed one glass of that. (you should knkow i only get drunk about once a year on my b-day party day) By the time Jen, Kevin and Shannon showed up James and I finished the bottle of wine. I was feelin good! No food in stomach. Not a good idea! So i kinda stopped for an hour and hit the Funky Monkey Martinis that I make with 90% booze and 10% cream or milk. Great drink! And well the rest is history...

Sunday - watered the garden, took james home. On my way home i realized, even though I've had a rather stressfull week, I've been happy. I've been who I havent seen in a long time. Then I realized why. This week I've been meeting people and socializzing like I used to. I love people. I love meeting people and spending time with them. So why aren't I doing this more? I thought back to through my week and things stood out to me. Like when Mike said to me "You seem like your're a happy person." or when the other Mike asked "Why don't you have a boyfriend?" Everything has just come together for me. I need to do something out of here. Change something. Find somewhere to volunteer or something. just something. Maybe I'll go to Toronto and volunteer for Sick Kids. Hell! they gave so much to me growing up, I might as well give them my time back right? This year it is my goal to meet people and socialize. My mother keeps telling me, "Leanne, ever since you were little you always were the social one! You have the greatest heart and love people for everything they can be. You need to get out of that house and meet people." Well mom, I miss me and I have to get back to it. I am a happy person and when I'm around people it really comes out. Believe it or not, I'm agreeing with my mother. It's a miracle!
**Operation Social Life** Here I come world!

I had a great night! I didn't get so drunk I was sick but I was great all night. Im very proud of myself! My once a year drinking fest and I didn't even get sick! *yay me!!* and what I only flashed people about 5 times? how great am I! LOL so here are some pictures.

oh to fridays... well im a little less stressed now lol. my car is fixed at the moment. new brakes, new timing belt, and new starter. 1500 bucks in two days. where was mike 4 days ago? lol. mike and mike, the two lil angels that came into my life this week. forever grateful for that! found someone i can actually trust on my car. its a really big relief. and my mike, where have u been?? so many mikes in this world. anyways so im kinda a happy camper. i was 20 bucks short and i said i'd bring it back to him. he said dont worry about it but i will, so im gonna take it to him. tomorrow. lol. right now i have a migrane so i dont want to move. he took me out in the car for a ride just to make things were working ok, im assuming. talked about my catering and said he might have some for me so that makes me hopful. he also asked me why i dont have a boyfriend or husband. and u know what.. why the hell don't i? lol i always use the "not in the right cirle" excuse. but its getting tiring but its probably the truth. ah well maybe one day i'll fall into the circle.

So tomorrow is my birthday party. i guess having my car done is a good start. have to get beer. it's also the street garage sale. get lisa movin tonight to get stuff to sell. dad was pretty funny when i asked him for a table. he was like anything i can do to help clear that house out! lol im gonna sell tons of my cds. i just cleaned them out, all the ones i dont listen to anymore. i swear theres like 100. i have to find a bunch more stuff. im going to be tired tomorrow! i feel like its been the week of internity! anyways im going to ramble on if i dont stop now. so im going. bye lol

saved!

so this morning i woke up thinking brazil was out the window... due to my car. 600 for brakes, 600 for my starter, 600 for the timing and 150 for the glowplug. then i came online and talked to mike. mike gave me a phone number and i called. now everything will be done at half the price and I LOVE MIKE! lol thank u mike. you'll get many a dinner for that!

Here comes the sun...

So wednesday morning. checked the weather for the rest of the week. sun sun sun and 25 degrees. how great! i hope this summer doesnt get too much hotter than that though. its a gorgeous day out. Maybe ill actually find something to do outside today. i've realized i've had some serious lack of blogging lately and i apologize.

monday was my birthday. i had a pretty good day. i stayed home pretty much all day as people phoned me and stopped by. paula stopped by with abby as she does every year. shes what 4 now? shes so smart and so tall! i have full on conversations with this kid it amazes me!


jen came by about 9:30pm and took me to main desserts for some cake. was very yummy!

earlier that evening, i went out my front door and looked at the sky. it was incrediable. i wish i had the digital cam with me. dad got mad at me because i've had it so much so now its sitting on a counter somewhere. and missing shots of the sky. so used my phone. not as good quality but still looks amazing.





now as nice as these skys have been lately, i worry. im not sure if im really the only one that has been looking up around sunset lately, but the skys have been really really cool. i was driving home from st. kitts on sunday around 9:45 and the sky was still light with colour. but i couldnt help but think, its just not right. thinking that there is that much pollution? maybe its not due to that but im pretty sure it is. something has to be done. i cant even think about what our kids will have to put up with if we don't.

So on the agenda today is yet again moe nothing. i took my car in. i think its going to cost me about 1200.00 bucks. im not happy. i need my timing belt looks at, my starter is dying, my battery, and an engine light was on which might just be everything im getting looked at. then this fall im going to have to do my brakes. its craziness! *stressed* mom is going to helpl out and pay for some of this bill as part of my birthday present, i just hope its not more than what i had in mind. oh well.

this weekend is also my birthday party so im looking foward to that! hopefully everything will be looked after and i can relax. and i hope to see everyone there! i guess i should go do some house stuff now.
