broken hearted moment..

Today my heart officially broke. I'm not sure if its cause I'm so tired from falling asleep last night at 4:30am or if I'm completely crushed by Cae having a girlfriend and not telling me. I had a gut feeling something was up. I normally do. He gets rather distant with me. But its bothersome when we were talking about the matter like last week and he didnt tell me. As JenJen told me tonight I should go with my gut cause it's normally right. I agree. I'm just going to talk to him on Monday if i see him. Clear things in my head before I go up north. I'm pretty excited about that. Tuesday to Saturday, Jen, her b/f Andre, his friend and her cousin Sarah (which I'm also friends with) are heading up north. I shall be fun! i can't wait actually. I think I might be in a drunken stooper for a week for the first time in my life lol. Just kidding. I think I'm handling this well. although this weekend I'm left to my own devices since Lisas gone to the cottage this weekend. I guess I'll clean. Try and make sense of thoughts. I have to stop caring so much I think. In the back of my head I know I live here and hes there. But don't tell me what I want to hear. Tell me whats going on I'm not going anywhere. God 6 years later, I'm not going anywhere... I deserve at least a fighting chance at my hearts feelings don't I?? Oh well.

OMGie!

So this evening i met a guy off the net. It went ok? lol we were going to go to this little dessert place like a block from my house. he didnt know it was a block away so he drove around the corner and i showed it to him. so we get there and we get out of the car. I shut the door and his side mirror fell off! LMAO! like I didnt know what to do. I stood there and laughed then had this over whelming feeling of badness lol. I just covered my mouth and kept saying im sorry while laughing. Like what am I suppose to do? so he picked it up off the road. i probably should of done that but i think i was in shock still. we walked over to the door of the dessert place and they were closed! an hour early! whats up with that? so, then he decided that we should go to a tim hortons for coffee. ok fine. then he takes me to one up the mountain?! right around the corner from his place. *sigh* men. he kept mentioning how he wanted me to "come over" i told him no obviously! but really he was actually a sweetie beside trying to get me to come over to his place. lol. anyways. im tired now but just had a coffee so we'll see how i sleep.

Which Johnny are you?

You Are Ed Wood From "Ed Wood."

You definitely have your name in history, although probably not for the reason you believe. Yet you are very accepting, non-judgemental, and optimistic almost to a fault. You also have a thing for angora sweaters. How could anyone not like you?



See what Johnny you are here!

Should I?

this evening Sonia and Doug came over. They are friends of my sisters and I guess kinda me. On Friday they're moving to Jordan. Sonia got a job at the Canadian Embassy over there. So because of this they need to sell everything. House, car etc. So they offered me their Grand AM for $6000. I could probably get 10-15,000 for my Jetta. I'm guessing more like 10 since I've done so much driving on it. So since its really my fathers car, I'd have to talk to him about the isurance and such. But from my point of view I'd probably gain some mola which of course I'd just give back to dad. The grand Am also still has warrenty on it and has cheaper parts. Thats a big thing for me. So I think I need to talk to dad. I also have it in the back of my head that mom said once I get rid of the Jetta I'm on my own. But do you think they'd go for the better deal? I hope. I must admit though, if I sell the Jetta, I'll cry. lol I do love it even though its such a big hassle no a days. Doug was telling me his car has new tires, the extended warentty for another 4000 clicks but it does have high milage at 152,000. But my Jetta has 133,00 and is 2 years older. hmmm... it sounds like an ok deal if u ask me. i think i'll talk to dad tomorrow. oh! speaking of cars, dad bought the Acura on Friday. I think we have yet to get it. But the Acura was the winner!

Lisas back...

Lisa came back from the cottage last night. She didn't say anything about the kitchen to me. until i was like ok! have u noticed anything?! and she went on about the kitchen painted the vacuum in the middle of the floor and shelves in the middle of the hall etc... She doesn't say hey Lee the kitchen looks good, nice vacuuming job, and good job cleaning the bathroom and doing the laundry, none of that! i'm getting really fed up with her lately. but she sent my picture from the cottage. my father is completely halarious at times.


then theres dads pic of a loon...


Lisas pic of a loon...

i think i need to work on my loony skills.

Girl with a Plan..

Yeap thats right. I got a plan. Lisas moving out. I'm not sure when, but I'm not really waiting on her. god only knows no one should ever do that! I went over to moms and followed her around while she tried putting me to work on the gardens. I told her my plan and she thought it was a really good one. (for once!) So heres the plan.

The Job..
Yes its true in the long run this is all for work. I'm sick of being here at home. The problem is I'm trained to be a chef. I want to get a receptionist job or somethinig of that sort. Due to my health reason I've become extremely weak, and just can't take the 16 hours of a day working. So..

School..
Since I've been trained as a chef and no one hires a chef as a receptionist without any schooling, I'm going to do some evening classes. I'm kinda excited. Get me outta the house and doing something for me. Then..

Sell the house..
When Lisa decides shes ready to move out. I'll probably sell the house. Unless by some miracle I can find renters. But I think thats going to be really hard. Plus by selling it it will free up some money. And first things first when that happens! I go to Brazil. Then when I come home, get an apartment and get my job.

So thats it. I'm happy with that. And I'm happy that mom is happy with that and didn't say a single negative thing about it. (I'm sure thats yet to come.)

Happy Again. Looking Happily to the Future.

Reality check..

So, I'm home. I went to a Bubble Tea place in Westdale. My friend Pat is going next Saturday to Japan and it was her lil going away party. It was fun. Before I went I rushed up to Chapters and grabbed a journal for her to write in. It's the one with the squished fairies. I think she liked it. lol

I'm home now and did a really stupid thing! Carlos got me a long time ago to sign up on Orkut. So every once in a while I check in see whats new and well since he's brazilian i have to translate things. So this chicky "stella" always puts these things up and well maybe its lost in translation, but my heart has just sank into no mans land. I've translated it before with her and had the same result. So.. I'm trying really hard not think much of it. And before any of my friends that read this tell me "u told me so" I've always tried to accept that this might happen. but it still hurts. But crazy me I'm going to act like nothing happened and might muster up the will to ask him and not like the responds.

Heart Broken crazy Leanne is going to go drown herself in paint the kitchen now.

The Choco Factory..

Tuesday Lisa, Laura and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Crazy funny movie! I think it was more for adults than kids! I LOVED it! It was everything I remebered it to be and I loved it back in grade 6. lol *feeling old* Johnny Depp is an amazing actor! I swear he can do anything! I was just reading the MacLeans July 25th issue and how they are saying
"With Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Johnny Depp proves again he's the Brando of his generation"
This isn't the first time I've heard this about Mister Depp. In the shorter end of short I think the movie was done amazingly (except for maybe the little Loopa songs) If you have the chance to go see it go!

Secondly. They're making a remake of the Last Unicorn. The original was made in 1982. It should be interesting to see what becomes of it. It due to come out in 2006 and the casting for voices is pretty much the original voices. I can't wait for it. I'm hoping it will be as good as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Heres a link to the the Last Unicorn Trailer Maybe it'll work better for you than it did for me lol.

p.s if anyone finds these glasses u HAVE TO get them for me!

Interesting Start to the week

I woke up and turned the computer, as I normally do. I noticed Cae popped on at the same time. But, as most know I'm not a morning person and didn't think much of it as I usually do. So I went into the kitchen and made coffee went potty etc... Came back and drank my coffee. At the bottom of my screen Cae had messaged me. I always like it when he messages me first. Makes me know he knows i'm there. lol I know a little weird but I think its a girl thing. Before he says hello he send me this link. Other than the fact that everytime he spells my name its a different way each time and never the right way lol. I completely woke up and was laughing my arski off. Then he says good afternoon (its an hour ahead in Brazil) to me. But was kinda scared me was the guy dancing around kinda looks like Cae. *pounders* ok maybe not. But its still an interesting start to my week.

Lazy rainy weekends..


This weekend Lisa went to the cottage with mom and dad. I haven't done a thing! I must say its been nice. Romeo and I have just been veggin. Yesterday, I did dome cooking. Made some steak, something like a kinda of tiramisu but with chocolate cake instead of lady fingers. I have yet to try it but it should be good. I also did some running around. Somehow dad forgot to take clothes with him to the cottage so i had to pack him a bag. Went over to the gaskins to take it with them today. How do you forget clothes? Then went to crappy tire cause I can't find my beaters anywhere. So bought some new ones. came found and after a year of looking for my old ones, i found them. So Murphys Law!! So I'm going to take the new ones to the cottage for mom. Why does that always happen? Aww well. Lisa comes home today so i think i better do some cleaning up. lucky her missed all the rain. I think theres that bright thing in the sky at the moment haven't seen it for 3 days!

Test Drive #3..


So! Thursday was the test drive of the Lexus GS300 I liked it.. alot! New styling to it makes it look amazing! Dad had it in the red. Looked amazing from the outside! Then we got in. We as in mom, dad, Laura and I. Dad and Laura went to the back. I went to the passenger seat. Then mom went to drive. Then decided she wasnt going to drive. So dad went to the front, Sat 3/4 of the way and said Lee u drive. So I moved to the drivers seat. A bunch of crazies I tell you! Finally, figure out how to turn the car on. I saw the button thing right away. It's very COOL! No keys. I thought I was all smart and push it on to start the car. No sound of the engine. Dad (that is somehow in the back seat again) says "Lee, put your foot on the brake. Then try again." DOH! So then I go to change my mirrors. Instead of it being on the door u push this little button and a thing pops out with more buttons to change everything around. The one amazing thing I really liked about this car is that 90% of it is buttons. But they're extremely simplified and easy to reach and acess, and figure out! The other cars, dad were all over the place and not very driver friendly, in the way that if you were driving it you couldn't watch the road. It also has a touch screen rather then the little nobby things. I liked that alot better as well! In the Acura dad couldn't figure out how to turn the air on and in the BMW we couldnt figure out how to turn the radio on. Anyways! The seats were comfy. I didnt feel like I had to sit right up to the dash like the BMW. I know this isnt usually a big thing but, considering my father is 6'2 but I'm only 5'1 so it gave use a good comparison. So in the end, these cars were all amazing to drive. Obviously. It was hard to really compare. They all have good horsepower ranging from 245@ 62,000 rpm (Lexus) to 300@ 62,00 rpm. and carry a good smooth ride all in all. I found that the lexus was a little choppy on its gear shifting and when I was in manual was a little fast on the shifts compared to the Acura. The BMW I was surprised it was low at 215@ 61,100 rpm. But I didn't really feel it struggle in the least like the others did a little.

So, all in all the Acura RL and the Lexus GS300 are in the running. And the BMW Surprisingly wasn't the one I really liked. It's excellent car if you need to get somewhere fast. Maybe turn the 407ETR into the Autobahn and it would be great for that. but the seats weren't comfortable, and I found it really closed in and hard to see out of. But that might be because I was squished against the wheel.

:o)

Test Drive #2...



Today was the BMW. I honestly have to say yesterdays Acura RL was 90% the same for me. The diffence was the cornering for me. The fact that I came down the Ancaster hill at 130km/h with no hessitation besides the fact that I was doing 130 lol. I expect the performance to be much better on the BMW but im shocked that the Acura in my mind came out ahead. So tomorrow it the Lexus 400GS. But I have a gut feeling dads made up his mind on the Acura. So I'm going to go to fortinos and get some keylime pie lol. I hate that they make them so yummy! hehe.

Test drive..



Three years ago dad bought a Lexus 300LS. So he has a list of about 5 cars he wants to test drive. An Infiniti, a couple Acura, BMW, and a Lexus. Now when he first told me he wanted a new car it was while driving home from the cottage a few weeks ago. So I asked him.. "If you could have any car new or old style, what would it be?" We talked a little about some cars we were passing, then he say "Ok. Car I want. A BMW 525." I was like well then "Dad. Get it." Its always on the list of cars we look at and if its the car hes always wanted. Brainless right? He says to me "But I don't really like the new style, and Larry has one." Because Larry has one? Dad come on! (Larry is a family friend) So I told him get one thats a year or two newer than Larrys. He laughed. So, anyway. Last week Dad need to get a tune up and such on his Lexus. Now what Lexus does is, they come with a loaner car and pick up your car so it doesn't interupt your day. So I said "dad! why don't you ask them too bring you one of the cars that you want to test drive??" He didn't say much to that. So 2 weeks later to yesterday.. Mom phones me and tells me that dad is test driving some car and he has the dealership bringing them to him. Monday was one car, i'm not sure what it was, i was at the cottage. So I phoned him up at work and said "Hey dad! you wanna come pick me up after work? lol" So he did. Last nights car was the Acura RL Now I'm no car crazy, but I do like my car. So I took it for a spin with dad. Wow! the new things they come up with every three years on these cars! Its 4 wheel drive, pretty good handling. extremely smooth and set on the road. It has that dual transmission. so on the way up to the meadowlands i did autoumatic on the way home dad told me to try the manual. it has the paddles for it on the wheel. I was having so much fun doing that! Its amazing how its set up so you can't mess up the car. like if i come to a stop in 5th i can keep driving! lol I had so much fun driving it in manual! Maybe cause its that my car is manual and I'm just used to it but omg the fun! So tonight is the BMW 525i. I'll let you know what the differences are. I loved driving it 3 years ago and I'm sure nothing in that will change. But we'll see.

To the cottage we went...

Saturday James and I headed up to the cottage. He slept about 85% of the way. We left a little later than I wanted but thats ok. We still got to hwy #118 before it got dark which was good! I hate drive that at night! It's pretty much a highway through a forest, so at night the deer come out to play! And freak the S*** outta me! I've already hit on in my life and I rather not experience it again, what after everyone telling me I'm a Bambi killer! So we went to Bancroft on Sunday. Nothing exciting. So on the way home we stopped at the dairy and got some ice cream. MMMM ice cream! hehe I got Vanilla. I love kwaratha vanilla! another one to check off my list! hehe Then when we got back we went swimming. I wish I went swimming today. Oh well. I got a pool noodle and my fishing lisence today so all is good. Then when we got back to the cottage I put some food in the oven, rinsed the car and James and I watched a movie. It was too hot really to do anything. (thats why i wish i went swimming again) So the heat was starting to get to me and James I think was bored, and not liking the bugs too much. Believe it or not they weren't even at half of what they normally are! But I'm happy. I woke up at 10 to 10am and started my coffee. I went outside and got a picture of the loon. There was two but I couldn't get them without one being underwater. So I'm not sure how I did it but I made it to Burlington in 3 hours. I love that ETR!! A steady 130km/h all the way home. So I took James right home and got back in time to catch some of the sunset. And to no food, so I'm STARVING! I think I'm going to go get something to eat before everything closes!

tomorrows a new day!

its 10:30 and im about to head to bed. tomorrow im off to get james when i get up. new dat new hope. im going to get up and hope i feel better. my eyes are killing me right now and im hoping they just need a good sleep. I just got home from going to see War of the Worlds with Jen and Lisa. It was a pretty good movie! Lots of screaming though. From Dakota Fanning. but it was good. i recommend it hehe. anyways off to bed i go. hopfully i wake up refreshed and alive and kicking ready to go.

where is it?

today is a really bad day. I'm pissed of with everything. I'm not sure why. I feel like giving up on things for some reason. First of all yesterday I went and got the truck for lisa. I left my car there thinking I would have the truck until she needs it. She took it to work. When I was picking it up mom gave me a present to take to burlington for her. I was under the impression that mom had missed the shower or something. She left me a message this morning asking about it. That the shower was today and if i didnt deliever I.. yes me could take it to one of her friends places for them to take. First of all, take it urself. favours turn into chores because my mother is too damn lazy and avoids people. 2. she wastes me time. if her friends are going to this shower, tell me to take it to them where i know where they live. not go to burlington 3 times to find this house which for some reason i can't! and why doesnt she just go to the shower? its not like shes doing anything but drinking herself away at home and driving me nuts... So now the other thing is Lisa. I can;t stand this anymore. she does nothing but play her games on the computer. Clean your own dishes, look after your cat, clean something once in a while. Do you own laundry. Call me crazy but if she has some laundry that needs done and so do i, i put them together. and if something in the dryer, i take it out and fold it etc... even if its not mine. it just makes sense. but time and time again i go down my clothes are sitting all wrinkled on top of the dry and her clothes are being dried. if there are clean dishes int he dishwasher and u have stuff to put in, dont put them on top of the washer, clean it out and then put them in. what is so hard to about these things?! i just don't get it. the other day she walked into the kitchen and said "this place is too hard to look after" i almost died. i felt like saying excuse me?! i haven't seen her do anything inside the house in monthes. i feel like.. i dunno. giving up. i do these things for family and i just feel walked on. nothing is ever enough. everything i do is wrong. I'm getting so sick of being independant and strong and just taking what people through at me. I need some sort of an escape. So where is it? Is it in Cae who seems to be the one who amazingly enough understand me and is more there for me than anyone and doesn't even know it. or is it in moving away and just looking after me? or just getting away from everything for a while? i don't know.

Why do people hate?


Morning all y'all! hehe I love that! So I've been up for about 45 minutes now. Not sure why. But I'm sitting here with the sun shining though my front door with a shadow casted over my laptop. It's kinda nice. But why is the morning sun so bright all the time? I'm blinded and its shining on my back! So, no one is up but leighton to talk to. He's informed me that there were bombings in London this morning. Check here for the story. I'm not sure what I think of it yet. Just a question, What is up with this world these days?! How can people hate so much? It really breaks my heart. So I'm listening to my BSB cd. completely different from the one that timmy sent me a couple monthes ago. I wonder if its another release. But James thought I was crazy for buying the new album. Sorry. But I love my backstreet boys. I can't help it lol.

So, for not doing alot this week things have turned out to be pretty busy. Saturday when i got home, i went and picked up james. then took him home on monday. then tuesday i just kinda vegged. yesterday i went for an interview. for a job. It went well but I don't think I'll get it. Which is alright. I could do half the job no problem but the other half was inventory and lifting toilets and such and well I had to be honest and tell her I doubt I could do that. So who knows. After that I went over to moms in the afternoon. She was making this meatloafish kinda sandwich. It was rather interesting I felt like asking her if she wanted some meat and bread with her mustard. So I took her truck so Lisa could do stuff in the backyard and left my car there. Now Lisas taken the truck to work and I have to take her van to moms and get my car. Shes so considerate of others! I swear these past couple monthes shes decided that I'm going to be her slave. She left me all her stuff from when I was at the cottage to put away. She doesnt help me do anything around this house, and she doesnt think twice that she left me without a car today. I might have to beat her up soon! Anyway, thats it. im going to go back to bed now cause I'm becoming bitter lol. and I don't want to be that when my afternoon and evening are going to be spent with Jen cause that ight just be bad.

little bit of this, lil bit of that...

So I had a bunch to write about last night, but I forget now lol. So.. What up everyone? hehe I guess it's monday here and I've just caught on my emails and such from last week. I had a really nice time at the cottage. Surprisingly! Mom and and I didn't fight. When I got up there on tuesday night mom and I headed out to McKecks for dinner. Mom kinda drove me insane that night. Since she she had her wine before I got there. She was kinda annoying to be around. I hate it when she drinks. Seems of late shes gotten a little worse. Oh well. I can't do much but voice my opinion to her and others about the matter. Seems people agree with me but no one will do anything to help me out in the matter.

Anyway! Dad came up on the Thursday and I spent a lot of time with him. That was nice! Saturday the three of us went into Bancroft and looked around. Of course mom and dad are all into the Art stuff and that area is famous for it so we checked out a few places. I waws getting kinda of tired of it. Like i love to see all the stuff but theres only so much I can take! lol There was this one place though, and I just thought of Chris Cheatley the whole time I was there. They did soap stone and paintings and such, I know he'd love it. oh well.

So I got an email from Sarah while I was away. She wrote about the wedding and everything. So great to finally have an email that I can write to her! Shes one o those friends you never get to see, but once you do you never stop talking. It was pretty funny cause a few years ago we had a family reunion and Sarah came cause well when she was home she was just another sister to us, people thought she was laura. So she went along with it since, laura was in her room the whole time. It was rather funny. *sigh* missin Sarah!

Well I'm going to shower, and wait for James to get up. We have to go grocery shopping and go to Walmart and buy clothes for Lisa. I love spending other peoples money when I go shopping!!! lol

Cottage Blog...

So its midnight on Friday… I mean Saturday… well whatever... Mom isn’t letting me go to bed. She sleeps through the day and is up all night talking to me. Yay! for the laptop. Since I have no net up here, not even dial up, I have nothing to amuse me at this hour at night except mom reading the newspaper to me. She’s reading me the “The Haliburton County Echo”. It’s the funniest thing ever the things they write about. Like the way you should know everyone in the county…

“Congratulations to Margaret Milne on graduation from Sir Sanford Fleming’s Expressive Art Course… However Jim and Maggie were in Thunder Bay for the wedding of Jim’s niece Paula on that day. The Van Del family, Susan (Milne), Henry and the boys were also present from their home in Fort France.”

Then it goes on about more people and their lives. A whole article about different people in the community and what’s happened to them this week! Like you wonder why in small towns everyone knows everything about you! It’s great! LOL! Maybe it’s just funnier cause of the hour. Or maybe I used to know what it was like when I lived in the little town of Pefferlaw, when everyone knew everyone and their business.

So anyway, today dad and I headed out to Minden this afternoon. Of course on the way is Bryson’s Marina (where dad bought the pontoon boat). So we stopped in. My crazy father and his toys, he’s looking to get ANOTHER! Boat. I think he’s completely crazy but hey, I’m not going to complain! He wants a fishing boat. I guess the pontoon boat isn’t good enough for fishing or something?? So, after we stopped in there, the whole point of going to Minden was for me to get my ice cream. So we hit the Kwaratha Dairy and dad got Sugar Shack Maple and I got Campfire Marshmallow. My plan, as some of you know might have read in previous blogs, is to have a different type of ice cream every time I go. So I thought I’d start with the beginning of the list. But! I got to the list and the first ones were vanilla, chocolate and Strawberry, so I decided to start at the bottom. They have many new flavours since I’ve last been and I’m very excited about the rest of my summer ice creaming! Hehe!!

So tomorrow around three I’m heading home, try and beat some weekend traffic. Leave on a Saturday rather than the Sunday. I’m going to stop into the dairy on the way home and pick up some ice cream for Lisa upon request. Of course I’ll get some for me as well (duh!!). I’m getting cold now, maybe because it’s only 9 degrees or maybe cause I’m tired now so I’m going to bed. Happy Canada Day to all!!
