Shaving my shoulders.....

It's been a while. Christmas has come and gone. I'll have to find some time to install my new DVD burner. Unfortunately I did not come across my new Gilmore Girls DVD, I will have to order that on Amazon. Chrismas was good, we had lots of fun, half a day at my house and half a day at Dan's. Boxing Day we went out to the lake and went skating and tried to do our super cool puzzle we got for Christmas. It's double sided with one of the images turned 90 degrees.

Yesterday we went to the Moose Jaw Spa. It was quite relaxing. My parents had one of those rooms with a jacuzzi in them, it was fun. I'm kind of disappointed that I'm missing all my out of town friends while they are here. I didn't actually realise how much I had planned until I started to do it all.

Tomorrow afternoon we'll be leaving for Saskatoon. New Years in S'toon should be fun. I'm looking forward to it. Dave is coming with us, so we get to celebrate with all of our close friends. I couldn't ask for anything more. Well I guess Heather won't be there but she'll be having her own fun.

Went over to the mall today to check out the boxing day specials. There wasn't anything really. The 2 sweaters I wanted at the gap aren't on sale. boo. And I couldn't find a pocket sized monthly 2 year calendar for the life of me! Even in the calendar shop!

I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself now that school is over. I'm teaching a lab at the UofR once a week so that will at least be something. I'll have to set some sort of fitness goal or sporting goal or something so that I'll accomplish something. I guess I could start pursuing my business a little more but I do that all day at work, I don't want to come home and do that work some more. Maybe once I switch jobs I'll be more motivated.

News, News, News

Okay so I've had this news for a while but I haven't actually gotten a chance to put it on here. I'm getting married! It'll be so much fun. Plus I got a new job! Same company, different job and I have a chance to move to Saskatoon if I want. Also I'm done school! No more for me. I now have my B.Sc in Computer Science. Yay! There's soooo much exciting stuff happening. I'm so exhausted from keeping up with it all. But it's worth it.

Christmas Cat

Isn't the terrorizing cat supposed to create havoc in the village? Not sleep? Well there were some casualties when he lied down, the little firefighter and children by the town tree didn't make it. And he's resting his head on a tree...... 

Last one I promise!

James and Colin will appreciate this. Keep in mind this is what actually came up! No word of a lie!

James and I were having coffee the other day and somehow we got talking about mexican food, or just mexico. Then somehome James wanted a Burrito from a Burrito truck, because they have them in Seattle, of course. I think we were talking about different types of Burrito trucks and double decker buses that would sell tacos. One of the bosses on the floor suggested the truck be shaped like an elephant and have the burrito come down the trunk. So after all this burrito talk the next day at lunch I got Taco Time. But it made me kinda sick and I wasn't full. Then Phil suggested that there is lots of Mexican food in Mexico.

Today I took this test to find out what food I am. Clearly the Mexicans are haunting me.

You Are Mexican Food

Spicy yet dependable. You pull punches, but people still love you.

What Kind of Food Are You?

This definitely sounds like me too....

Brainy Kid

In high school, you were acing AP classes or hanging out in the computer lab. You may have been a bit of a geek back then, but now you're a total success!

Who Were You In High School?

I'm 19 and a Classic Martini

I was bored at work so here!

You Are a Classic Martini

You area sophisticated drinker, who knows that simple quality is over-rated. You're a knowledgeable drunk, but sometimes you're a know-it-all when you're blasted. You should never: Drink and gossip. You tend to forget who's standing right behind you! Your ideal party: Has a real bartender. But no one mixes a better drink than you. Your drinking soulmates: those with a Chocolate Martini personality Your drinking rivals: those with a Margarita Martini personality

What Flavor Martini Are You?

So close, yet so far

I'm so close to being done I can taste it! My interview went well yesterday, so I'm happy about that. Maybe I can move over there and do some cool stuff. The test on tuesday went not so well. But I just need to pass right? The test tonight needs some more studying but I think it will go okay.

I'm so happy to be all done with this school stuff. Then I can concentrate on other things such as travel and buying a nice condo and accumulating some stuff. It'll be great!

It's snowing here again. I was pushing snow with my car bumper yesterday on the way home! It's been 36 hours since we got the bulk of this snow and they haven't plowed it by now? It's ridiculous.

Tonight I have some presents to wrap, that's always fun and I want to zone out and watch a movie. It's too bad I need to work tomorrow, I could really use a day off right now. But I guess it won't be long until Christmas and I can get a couple days off.

All my work benefits will kick in in January and that's great because I can finally get some new glasses! I actually started wearing my thicker frames again and I like them a bit better. My other ones are too beat up. I can barely see out of them they are so bubbled in the lenses. So I'll have to buckle down and get some new ones. But free in January sounds like a good price to me.

Trying to figure out what to do for New Year's. Barbara really wants us to go to S'toon for new years. That would be alot of fun. As long as the weather holds out for driving. Dave even agreed to spend New Year's in S'toon if we go! So it would be super fun. After my final tonight I can plan some more of that stuff.

So going insane

My last two finals, an interview tomorrow and something to be excited about on Friday. I'm losing my mind. Today I walked into 2 doors. Not one but two! Right after one another. I'm so out of it. I could barely carry on a conversation at lunch. I took the afternoon off to study. The test went awful tonight but you never know with university tests. I'm going insane. Did I mention that already?

Modern girl worries....

Okay so Dave doing a summersalt does not actually work. If anyone knows how to post an avi I'd be interested.

Dan's piqued my interests on the events of Friday night. This Friday night to "celebrate" being finished school we're going out. Dressing up and going out. And he claims he's under alot of stress and has hinted about a you know what......

So my big question is...... should I buy a new dress! I have 5 perfectly good sexy dresses. But don't I want to look good in a new one for $90. This could be a big night. But it could be a big night in a dress I already have....ah decisions.

I applied for a couple good paying jobs in S'toon today. Hopefully I'll hear something back. That might be neat. I need to survive 4 more days. Test tomorrow, interview wed, study wed, test thurs. I hope that I have way better concentration tonight than I did last night. There's too many neat things on my computer at home to distract myself with. All I need to think of is concentrate for my 2 last exams ever, but it's still not happening! arrrrrgh! Especially when you have a new dress to think about.......

Dave Doing a Summersalt!

Watch out for Dave! Here he goes! (Thank Brett for the footage) 

Weekend

Well another weekend has come and gone. Nothing really to report. Went to the work Christmas party last night. A guy who looked like Elvis sang an elvis song in the karaokee, he sure didn't sound like Elvis. We stayed for another couple songs and then left. That's just something that can stay at work.

Saturday we got my family and Dan's family together for a day at the lake. It went pretty well. There was alot of eating involved that's always good. Caught Dan trying to cheat at Uno with his bogus rules. The excuse of "this is how we play in my family" didn't work this time because his family was there. Ya, I know, I'm way too competitive.

I should really be studying right now. My last 2 exams ever and I can't seem to open a book. I think that's a good sign that I should be done school but it's bad because I need to study and finish those classes to be done!

I'm so not looking forward to this week. 2 exams and an interview for a different position. Lets see if I can put some more stress on myself while I'm at it! Oh well after this week I can finally gain some perspective on things and life again. I really need to do that!

Travel plans foiled again........

So I had this plan to go to Mexico or the Dominican in January. Some of my Calgary friends were interested in going and I definitely wanted to go. I mean I finish school forever in a week here and my plan was to travel. I have the funds, I work fulltime and live at home still. It was perfect. So I planned vacation packages, one for the people in Calgary and one for the people in Regina so we could all meet in the Dominican and have a villa to ourselves on a nice resort. But then everyone pulled out! I should have known better to get myself all excited about a trip like this. I think we say every year, lets go on a vacation, lets go here. But it never happens. This year it was a reality though and a total let down. The only person that can still go, Phil, I can't go with! Dan can't go because he doesn't have the funds and I know he would have a problem if I went to the Dominican with my ex-boyfriend. So it totally sucks, I can go, Phil can go, but we can't go together! It's so frustrating. But what can I do? I'm stuck. I just don't think a tropical vacation by myself would be much fun.

Someone once said....

So, I was talking about blogs one day with a friend and I said I wanted to create a blog but who would read it. I would read it, he exclaimed. Thus here I am.
