Well it was another crazy week for me. This week was more running around, this time to prepare for birthdays and I was supposed to get Max HD installed.
So I was supposed to get Max HD installed on Tuesday, I've tried how many times to have it installed to no avail, and they did not disappoint me in that respect. They said they'd be there from 7-9. At 8:45 I got a phone call from SaskTel asking for Danielle. I said there was no one here by that name, then they asked if I ordered HD, and I said yes, they said they had to reschedule, they couldn't make it. I was confused about why there were looking for Danielle, but left it alone for a while. I rescheduled for 6pm on Friday. The next day it hit me, they heard a girl's voice, they called me Danielle, when in fact they were looking at Dan's account. This is a mess in itself, when I tried to get Dan's name off the account, there were so many hoops to jump through and I had to get him to actually phone in and do it, and yadda, yadda, yadda, they finally shut down the joint account and opened my own in my name. But there's always been some weird things with the new account, like my cell phone getting cut off etc. The bill clearly states my name only, but for some reason it's like it's still joined, as the above scenario will indicate. I've phoned many a time to no avail to make sure that it's only in my name, and they assure me of that, but yet, weird joint things keep happening.
So that frustration aside, the next night Shannon and I went shopping for bday gifts for my sister and Darrell. I already knew what I was getting them, it was just a matter of finding em. So I found Darrell this gorgeous leather briefcase in Danier Leather and I got a free pair of amazing leather and cashmere gloves out of the deal for free! You had to spend how much and you got $50 off, and I was exactly $50 below that amount so basically my gloves were free. I also couldn't find anything else in there for Darrell, I decided to get myself something. Shannon found some really nice boots that I tried to talk her out of, she didn't listen and bought them anyways. They are really nice boots though. But at least we try to talk eachother out of stuff when we can't afford it.
Thursday it was Darrell bday. I made some cupcakes and hid them all over his office. In the drawers, behind computers etc. Sprinkles got everywhere, it was fun. Then that night before Darrell came to pick me up for supper, I was getting the cake ready and stuff for after, and at 6pm, the SaskTel HD guy shows up! He wasn't supposed to be there till Friday! I had no idea he was coming. So I let him in, I didn't know when I'd get him back. So I'm trying to plan and set up surprises, in a little bit of a rush, and the HD guy is there. So inconvenient! So Darrell showed up and the HD guy was still there, so I told him to go for a walk for 10 mins, gee, I'm so sneaky (eyeroll). So HD got installed and Darrell and I went to Red Lobster and both had the "Ultimate Feast". There was lobster, crab, and two types of shrimp and a vegetable. There was a pile of seafood shells on our table when we were done, we were so full, it was so much fun.
I got to see the new HD the next day. It looks awesome. I always thought I had a crappy tv, but I didn't really complain since it was free. But no, I just had a crappy signal. The HD and the normal channels look brighter and sharper than before. I love it! I can't believe I didn't have this sooner.
Also friday I worked some overtime, got my hair dyed for Barbara's wedding and went out for drinks with Darrell and his sis. Phew, busy day. I might have set off the alarm at work too, I was the last one out on Friday, I hope I set the alarm right, there was a novel by the alarm that was so outdated, I dunno if I did it right, the cops might be looking for me now.
Saturday I headed to Regina. Darrell's family is getting their farm equipment ready for an auction. I spent the day out at their old farm watching the guys pull stuff out of the bushes and sloughs with a front end loader and tractors. Everyone thought I was bored, but I really wasn't. Between remembering all my first aid, some of the stuff looked dangerous, and looking at all the interesting equipment, there wasn't much time to be bored. There's machinery on that property that was pulled by horses! How old is that!
This week I hope to be slowing down but I don't think that will happen. My condo meeting was rescheduled for tuesday, not enough people showed up last week, and then Barbara is getting married on Saturday! I think I have everything I need prepared for that. I tried it all on today, I have everything I need, now it's just hair nails and makeup.

Party all the time
Last week was just crazy. Barbara's bachelorette party was this past weekend. I spent most of last week running around finding supplies and putting together games and planning. It took alot of time, but the payoff was lots of fun. We played some games at Barbara's, including the 'toilet paper wedding dress' and 'pin the macho on the man'. Toni made a ton of Jello shooters that were consummed at the house, and Deborah decorated the house in a nice purple theme. We also decorated Barbara in a custom tshirt and a purple pimp hat with a veil that had condoms and lifesavers stuck to it. Later on we went to Beily's and played some scavenger hunt games. The one game included finding guys in the bar that looked like what you had on a deck of cards. We played this when we first got to the bar and everyone in the bar knew us after that. You had to try to take a picture with these guys too, so they really knew us. I ran into George and his wife at the bar, and I made George pose for my "Preppy Guy" that I had on the card. Then some guys with suits approached me and asked if they could help with the game, they were my "Just came from work guys". Their friends also bought my drinks all night when they saw me at the bar, score! There was another game just for Barbara, it included pinching boys bums and general goofy fun. Lots of dancing was done, and I drank quite a bit. It was lots of fun, and everyone seemed to have a good time.
Friday night I went over to Matt and Courtney's house for a chicken roast. I hadn't been to their new house, it was quite an awesome house with a pool. Almost made me want a house, but then I remembered all the work that goes into a house and I'm quite fine with paying condo fees to have all that extra work done. Also I'd never seen brown and marbled granite, it was so sharp as a kitchen countertop. We played Scene It Squabble later and again the girls won. It makes me question whether the game goes easier on the girls, or just being the girls we are, we have a plethora of knowledge from both sexes. It's interesting to ponder. I think it's just that the girls are better at paying attention than the boys, alot of the time they didn't even know if it was their turn or not.
Sunday I was pooped. I slept in, and sluggishly left Barbara's house at noon. I cleaned my kitchen, went in the hot tub and then Darrell came over and we sat on the couch and watched movies and gorged ourselves on BK. I kinda had a headache all day sunday so it was the perfect day.
This week shouldn't be as busy. Darrell's bday is on thursday, and there's a condo meeting tonight. I sure hope the condo meeting doesn't take long. I know exactly what will happen though. They're in the middle of renovating the main lobby, and the colour scheme they chose is a little dark. It's a very contemporary style but it's pretty dark. But everyone in the building is complaining about it and they aren't even close to being done. At first it was a little scary, dark brown wallpaper and they stained all the wood mahogany. But now that the new tile has gone in, it's really bright and white marbled patterned and they added some more lights, it looks nice. But I'm pretty sure this whole meeting will be why they are worried about the lobby and since most of the people who go to the meeting are really old, I'm sure they are going to hate it all and I'm going to have to hear about it.

Oh no! Not killer corn!
This weekend was jam packed and lots of fun. Friday I actually wasn't feeling well, just tired and run down. I slept all day. Darrell brought over Marie Antoinette, (again, the movie not the person), and we watched. It wasn't the greatest movie, it didn't really go anywhere, but it kinda kept your attention. I don't really know what to think of it.
Saturday I felt a little better, and I had to do some shopping. Darrell and I went for a walk around the university campus, we saw lots of crazy people talking or singing to themselves on this venture. That was kinda odd. Then we decided to go adventuring and ended up at the Strawberry Ranch and subjected ourselves to their giant corn maze. This year the maze had a dinosaur theme and the middle of the maze was shaped like a brontosaurus. We paid $7 each to go through the giant maze. They told us that if we found the 2 hole punches in the maze and punched our map, we'd get a prize. So off we went through the maze. We were still short enough that we couldn't see over the corn. If someone really tall went, I'm sure they'd be able to see over. The maze was actually quite difficult and would of been impossible without a map. It took us an hour and a half to get the end, but we had only found one hole punch, so we went back to find the second one. That took a little while. It was a two and a half hour excursion. I kept on thinking the prize would be really good, like some strawberries. Since it's at the strawberry ranch. But actually, when we went to collect our prize, they handed us a bucket of plastic dinosaurs that we could chose one from. Not the greatest prize but I guess it fit. The maze was super fun.
Sunday I headed to Regina for Barbara's wedding shower. Roberta and her mom were nice enough to host it in their backyard. It was very nice and Barbara wasn't embarrassed too bad with games. The weather was beautiful to sit outside and watch Barbara open her gifts and the food was sooo good and plentiful. The frozen raspberry cheesecake was to die for. And that brings us to this week.
This week is going to be crazy, getting organized for Barbara's bachelorette party on Saturday. I've got it so that I can do 2 tasks a night this week for. Plus there's a major deadline for work at the end of the week. I imagine some overtime will be put in, but I think I'm ahead of schedule for now.

hooray for prime rib
Long weekend was fun. Just relaxed at the lake with family and Darrell. Drank some drinks, hung out on the boat, went to a bbq etc. Darrell and I tried canoeing, we will never speak of that again...... ;)
Last week was just busy. I made sure to get outside lots since it was nice out. I bought Guitar Hero 80's, which is quite fun. I can now play 'I Ran' by Flock of Seagulls. Too much fun. Friday we went to Barbara's and helped her wrap her wedding favours, they turned out so nice and didn't take as long as we thought they would. We also sampled many a bottle of wine that night, fun was had.
Saturday I renewed my membership for the Y. Yay! The gym again. I miss going to the gym. By the end of spring I can't stand being inside in the gym but by the time fall comes I actually don't mind again, it's funny how that works out. They also finally got self scan cards at the Y, no more handing your card to someone and waiting in line to get it back. Darrell and I made copious amounts of sushi, well I should say Darrell made a copious amount of sushi, I just helped eat it. I passed some wraps along, that counts right? ;) And we had another wine drinking night with movies, it was nice.
Sunday I watched one of the saddest maddening Rider games ever! I don't get 'Reviews' in refereeing. I think they should just be called without the review and it should stick, and hopefully all work out even in the end. But I know that wouldn't be fair either, then there'd be no proof if you had a ref that was really biased. The whole game was just infuriating. And by the whole game I mean 2nd to 4th quarters. Three quarters seems to be enough for me, I really can do without watching the 1st.
Today I'm going to the ballet with Darrell. No I'm not dragging him, it was actually his idea and he searched out tickets. Giselle is being performed by the Canada National Ballet Company. Exciting. I think we're eating at John's before hand. John's being a restaurant, not a person as my Mom thought.
