A Beautiful Evening

Sunday is my friends birthday, so my three great friends and I got together to celebrate it. We call ourselves The Beautifuls. My boyfriend took some pictures of us for my Christmas gift to each of them. After that we went back to my place and had some fruit and then made Chicken stir fry for dinner. After dinner we went to a local book store and then for dessert. It was a simple evening, but a great one.

They mean so much to me.

I love them.

I took a sick day

so these aren't being done in one sitting.

I would take listening to the sound of traffic outside of my apartment window to listening to any song, any day. Ok, maybe not Josh Groban. The combination of the 2 is wonderful.

One thing that I would really like to do this by the end of 2009 year, is get my childrens book out and running to Publishers. Do I need illustrations when I mail it for the first time, because I don't know of any illustrators.

My blog was fixed.

I am starting to blog again. I kind of got out of the habbit becasue with e-mail, twitter, facebook and so on, I thought that everyone would know everything that was on my mind. No so. Enjoy!

I have a secret and I can't talk to anyone else...

I can't sleep. That's not the secret. Everyone knows I have trouble sleeping. Especially after last night. Here is how the mornings events were,

-1:45 - Wake up from a HORRIBLE dream. All shaken up and stuff.

-Probably 1:46 - Someone knocks on my door. I live in an apartment. I go outside to check and see what's up and no one is there. Creepy on all sorts of levels.

1:48 - 7:00 - Don't sleep.

7:01 - 7:30 - Fall asleep and wake up in a tizzy.

7:30 - 8:54 - Shower, get ready for work. Go to Tims for a coffee and a Bagel. The lady at the drive thru spills my coffee as she is giving it to me. The day continued on with the same type of awesomeness.

Blah, now I can't sleep.

I am going to tell you my goals, becasue I have no where else I can write them,

1 month from now - Have Jaz & Kim paid off
6 months from now - Have Wells Fargo paid off
1 year from now - Have Visa paid off and GMC paid off
18 months from now - Have a place with Scott.

Here is to a lot of dicipline.

:)

oh Josh...

Remembering last years Emmy's...

There is something not right about this...

congrats hef,
you probably crashed your empire thanks to one issue.

It's been a busy summer.

Rest In Peace Michael

Rules of Engagement

Rings, engagment or promise,
are a waste of money,
so are weddings.
Put that money towards a house,
that both people can enjoy.

Rings and wedding scare the shit out of me.

I'm not even kidding.

I LOVE this

I am deleting my livejournal and moving here.

love

10,000 jobs?

I have 4 jobs.

That is why I haven't blogged lately.

And this has my interest,

I love my new job.

I have a new (and 3rd) job of working in a care home for children with special needs. I was told that short term memory wasn't the biggest among the children. I was asked my name about 7 times today, it was so cute! I am back tomorrow. This is a job to help me in the summer.

I was wearing Lulu lemon pants there today, and one of the children came up to my pants and started picking and the logo on the side of the pants by the knee. I tried telling them that it was there becasue the people that made the pants put it there. Ten minutes later...

"You still have a sticker on your pants."

:)

sense of calm... almost

Everything is going great. Valentines day was fabulous. We saw Benjamin Button and went for dinner. It was a great day, but Scott is very thoughtful and romantic all the time, so he didn't do anything that was really different from any other day.

It is such a great feeling when you are with someone that you actually want to see and be with and learn more and more about each day.

I worked a bit over the break and now I have a cold. I still haven't started at my 3rd job yet, I have to get a check done first before I start, which I am getting done tomorrow.

I am feeling very anxious

I hands are swelling up and my ecxema is acting up and I can feel my heart racing. I am also very ADD tonight and can't sit still. So typing will be very hard for me. I am not sure what it could be. It could be that I feel uncomfortable about not working tonight, or that I wish that things could get put in place for my third job (yes, I have one and I need one). I am also very hungrey. I have gotten a lot done tonight. I have ironing to do and I ran the tub, but I just had to get this out. Things are going great with Scott, he is so great. I don't know why I am feeling this way.

my first attempt of making steak

Scott helped too.

For Kerstin and Bugaboo

Hi girls,

Kerstin, if you change the place of the I and E in your name, you would have the same name as my sister.

Bugaboo, I am currently looking for your name. I'm sorry if you don't like my new name for you. I think it's better than calling you "The Other One".

Here are some pictures of my trip I thought you might like,

It's -58 outside with the windchill

My car is not going to start tomorrow.

I am back in Canadaland, back from our trip to Disneyland. It was great, we had a little trouble with the connecting flights on our way home, but it was all worth it when we finally got home.

Scott picked my parents and I up from the airport, took them home and then we came back to my place. It was 11:55 pm when we got to my apartment. When I walked in the door he told me to close my eyes. He went into the apartment and turned on Dean Martin music. He came and lead me into the living room and we danced to "All I Do Is Dream Of You". When the song was over we said Happy New Years to each other and kissed. When I opened my eyes I saw that it was midnight. My apartment was decorated with balloons and lights and a Happy New Years banner and paper hats. Scott had made a special playlist on my iTunes and Champagne was chilling in a bucket in my kitchen.

Best New Years Ever.

I hope that you have a wonderful 2009.

I need to post becasue it's Christmas

I just had a wave of emotions come over me. It feels like I am going to throw up, so I'll write about it.

It's Christmas.

Christmas is an odd time.

I had a relative, a good friends Dad, and an old neighbour die in the past 2 weeks.

That brings up the emotion of loving everyone in my life more than ever.

Also, in 10 days, my family and I are going on a family trip,
the trip is a gift from my parents,
all we need is spending money.
That makes my heart happy and I love my parents so much becasue they are SO wonderful becasue I relaize that not everyone get this opportunity.
My boyfriend will be staying in Saskatoon. I am going to miss him so much.

This weekend we went to a Christmas party. One of the big things at the party was Rock Band . I hate Rock Band, and video games in general. My sweetheart likes videos games, but not crazy like. I have had experiences with children and adults (or, in this case, bigger children), that have not been good. The experience with the child was that the child was very spoiled and was very dependant on their video games. The experience with the adult was worse. I did not grow up with video games and I would like to think that I turned out ok.

My boyfriend and I have talked about this, and I know that things change and not everyone is the same. It's just hard to shake experiences.

You know how you have friends that you wish you could spend more time with? Ones that are cooler than cool? Well, that would be my friend B . She got engaged this week. Congratulations. She deserves all the happiness in the world. I love her.

Good night.

So today...

was the day of our Care & Share lunch at school. Our bussiness partners, WBM, come in every year and serve an AMAZING turkey dinner to our students that is cooked by a well known Chef in the city.

Special guests always come,

Mr. Rathwell, the Director of Education, came, who

let me graduate when I was 4 credits short in high school
who gave me my job
who told me to call him back after I couldn't be on the sub list becasue I was screwed over by my Tech school (SIAST)
who hired me as an EA even after he no longer had the job of hiring EA subs
and knows me and always addresses me by my first name. I know it's not much, but its huge to me.

I love him.

and Santa came too.

and

Mr Brad Wall, the Premier of Saskatchewan came. He served Turkey and stuffing to everyone and was so nice to one of my little special needs girl that I work with when we went through his lone.

A very nice man.

I didn't take any pictures though.

My Dad usually comes to it every year,
but missed this one.
