Just Chillin'"I see stupid people...they're everywhere...they walk around like everyone else...they don't even know that they're dumb." August 29 Maybe mistakes are what make our fate“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away”

February 22 MovingWell I just thought I'd let everyone know I won't be around for a while. I'm moving and I won't have internet til Saturday March 3. Leave a message, I'll get back to you once everything is up and runnning. See you all later! December 05 In a pickle.. So I'm in a pickle...
This Saturday (December 9) is my work Christmas party, I have 2 tickets, and now, I'm without a date! I hate it when this happens, and it never fails that it happens at the last minute!
I don't want to let this ticket go to waste...I paid $10 for it, but I don't know who to take.
Any one got any ideas, or volunteers? Lol.
So here's my updates, so far.....
Mom's home now. She (we) spent the weekend at the hospital while she waited for surgery. It was a very long weekend, with sleepless night, and sitting on pins & needles. She had her surgery Sunday morning, and was home the next day! They sure don't keep you long, in the hospital. But at least Mom is better, she's home, and she's got feeling back.
So I think that's it for now....Don't have a whole lot to say any way...
October 19 And so the story continues...So much has happened! Well Not really, I just wanted to say that, haha! 2.5 months, since the last entry…Well, how bout I start where I left off:
September 2, Dragon Boat Races: Did anyone see the races, or hear about the races? If not, I’ll bring you up to speed! The Co-opeGATORS team fell in the water!! Yes, that’s right, tipped the boat. The first team in the history of the Dragon Boat Festival, in Regina, to EVER flip. So, on that lovely Saturday morning, at 9:40-ish 22 people, including Yours Truly, took an unexpected swim in Wascana Lake!
Also in September, I decided I didn’t have enough to do, with 2 jobs ‘n all, I was also going to take a couple fitness classes and play volley-ball again this year. So I started Kickboxing, Aquacise & Volley ball. Those keep me busy 3 nights a week (It keeps me outta trouble….Sorta, haha)! September 14 was my anniversary. 2 Years Single! Woohoooooooooo! And man did I celebrate. It was supposed to be a casual relaxing night at Moxie’s, with a few friends……8 Martinis later, Ash had to drive my car home (6 Blocks) because I was in no condition to drive. Surprisingly enough, I wasn’t hung over the next day! I got the hair cut from Hell! It was a Monday, I couldn’t get into anybody, everywhere was either closed or people were booked, or they were off. So I went to someone I didn’t know, and asked for a TRIM and a FEW LAYERS. Complicated? No, not really! She starts cutting and continues cutting, until my hair isn’t close to what I want, it’s really short and she cut my hair shorter on one side then the other! I thought about getting someone else to fix it, but it I did that, I’d have to walk around with a bob-cut. So I keep it back in a pony tail, and I will until my hair gets long enough to fix, without going TOO short.
So Far, October has been a pretty good month! To Kick-Start the month, I saw the Black Eyed Peas for the 2nd time, October 2. The concert was Wicked-Awesome! Luckily for me, my seat was 7th row…I was close enough to see them sweat! I went on a Ghost Tour of Regina. It was really interesting. I got my eye brow pierced…I’ve wanted it for about 8 years, but I finally got it! And last but certainly not least, I saw the Rolling Stones, right here in the Queen City, for the concert of a lifetime. Regina will never host a concert, with that much hype and hysteria, again in my lifetime! Okay, so maybe a few things have happened since the last entry! Life is definitely going to slow down now…That’s a guarantee!
Until Next time…………..
P.S. I Will soon be adding some pics from the Dragon Boat Festival and from the Rolling Stones concert. Check back soon! August 30 I'm not dead yet!Hello Everyone!
I know it's been a while since my last entry. I'd like to say I've been REALLY busy, but I haven't. I’ve been busy working, and going to the gym. Oh yeah, throw in the odd night-out, here and there, but…. That’s it, that’s all!
I’d love to say I’m having a blast working and going to the gym, but I’m not. How much fun can one person have working 2 jobs?!?! Going to the gym isn’t fun by my standards either, but it’s finally paying off, and I’m not the only one seeing the results. I’ve lost 20 pounds and almost 5 sizes, since the 17th of May.
At least once a day I get comments from people saying how good I look, and going to the gym EVERY morning before work, really shows now. Yes, that means, I’m up, outta the house and at the gym no later than 5:15am. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’ll go to the gym later, or else just go for a walk around the lake. But it’s amazing how things can change if you just make a few alterations!!
So that’s all that’s new with me. Ciao for now!
June 28 Liar LiarYa know when someone lies to you, and how mad you can get! Well I'm mad
 . Why do some "boys" insist on lying to women? This I don't understand. Be honest! If someone asks you, oh for example, if you have a girlfriend (or boyfriend), by honest...Don't drag someone along, cuz they will eventually find out bout your significant other. Or when you are dating someone for a few months, only to find out, they've been seeing someone else at the same time, and have moved away, with the other person. You will be caught, and we will find out you are a dirt bag, that deserves to be shot! Yes, shot...Execution by firing squad. Another thing that gets under my skin is, why is it when people (men & women) drink, they will come on to anything with 2 legs and boobs (or a penis)? If they get no response, they will work their way around a room, looking for ANYONE that will reciprocate the flirting.
Why can't some people let others live their own lives, and stop bloody butting in! I for one, am an adult, can live my own life, make my own decisions, pay my own bills, etc (ya know the song BILLS, BILLS, BILLS)...I will do what I want, when I want to do it, and with whoever I feel like. BACK OFFF!!!!! June 07 Happy Now???I have recently received some, ah, criticism regarding my space, and that I don’t keep up with my blogs. So here, I’m writing a new blog. You want details; well I’ll give you a few can't give out too many. I have to stay somewhat mysterious!
My life lately….Nothing exciting happening.
On the 19th of May, I took my nephew to The DaVinci Code. I’m glad I read the book a while back, so it wasn’t fresh in my mind, cuz there were a few differences, but on the whole, it was a good movie.
Last night I went to the opening of The Omen (666), with my Aunt. Hahaha, OMG she was so funny. She jumped practically on my lap in a few parts. There were a few parts when I was jumping, and got my pulse rate up, but it was ok. LOL, there were even a few screamers in the theatre. I’m pretty sure it was a sold out show. I needed to see a horror flick that makes my jump. I’ve been almost craving it lately. There’s been a ticking inside me wanting to be scared. I was only partially satisfied. This will probably sound really kooky, but I want to be so scared that I’m ready to jump outta my skin. Meh, one night with a Ouija board and I’ll be that scared!
Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary (some of you know what I’m talking about!!!!) and I have no intention of changing the current situation, if you know what I mean.
Today is day 23 without smoking. I do have to admit that I cheated on Saturday night, but I was, hmm, not quite myself….It was Jen’s 25th birthday party. I had to get a little wrecked!
Today is also my 17th day as a vegetarian. It’s not too bad. I do however; want a hamburger from time to time. But my veggie burgers are doing the trick. I don’t know for how long I’m going to keep this up. We'll have to see on that one.
My social life is opening up again. Yaaaaaah! So start booking your time now. LOL! I know, I’m having a DOOT! But I have many.
Any who, I think that’s enough blogging for one day! Happy now Kevin!?!
May 15 Ahhhhh!!!!!!Today is turning out to be "one of those days"! I don't feel like being at a computer, beside a phone today, but I've just gotta suck it up. I feel restless, uncomfortable, and squirmy. I'm having difficulties sitting still. Oh how I'd love to go back to bed!
Honestly, I think today was a waste of a shower, clean clothes, make-up and a hair do....I shoulda just stayed in bed. March 21 Kinda feel like I'm in oblivion...Well, my cousin and I got moved, and we're more 'er less settled. Still have a few boxes in the basement to un pack. This weekend, I have to go to the old place to get the last few things I have left there, and start my share of the cleaning. Oy boy! Not really looking forward to that!
Sunday became another sad day....My Grandmother passed away at age 81. I'm very sad, but at the same time, I feel numb. Just two weeks ago, we lost a close family friend to cancer. This is 2 in 2 weeks, and 4 in 6 months. Hopefully this isn't a pattern developing. Sometimes, I really don't enjoy feelings. I'm such a sentimental, and emotional person. But it's our emotions that make us human. Maybe robot would be better, sometimes.......

"It's the saddest day on earth when we lose someone we love. For them, it's their happiest day because they are going into heaven." February 28 Almost thereWell, I move in 3.5 days. I start my holidays tomorrow, March 1st. I go back to work March 14th. I think 2 weeks should be enough time to move, unpack, and take a little bit of a break!
Looks like we're starting no later than 9am Saturday morning. Got a big day ahead of us. Gotta move Dave-Lee's stuff, then get the furniture, go get my stuff. At some point on Saturday, we have to pick up my new bed, and my new dresser. Oh boy! I hope it all gets done on Saturday. All our help is for Saturday, and we can't ask everyone to come back on Sunday. But on the plus side, the papers are signed, the carpets are being cleaned today, the furnace is being done on Friday, and we get the keys Friday night.
I'm almost finished packing. My clothes and my bedroom furniture is mainly all that's left. Hauling stuff up and dowstairs,and just a few odds and ends to finish things up. I'll have lots of time to do everything. Starting to get excited.!!! Aren't you excited for me?  January 19 Its my GuestbookHey Stop by my Guest Book. Let me know what you think. Let me know you stopped by....
Ciao for Now  January 17 The countdown is on!Yes the countdown is on...For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it's regarding my move. I know I've been counting for quite awhile. but it's actually coming in just over a month...52 days and counting! I've already started packing~
From living with Steve and Micheline, I've learned, not to take things so seriously, and to let things slide. Water off a ducks back! I've also learned I CANNOT live in a mess. Things have to be clean, tidy and neat! I've learned, staying home once in a while isn't such a bad thing!
I don't regret moving in with them. The only thing I regret is signing a one year lease. You definitely don't know someone til you live with them. I also learned......A year is a long time!
Because I moved out with Steve & Micheline, my Mother became my friend! Of course, she'll always be my Mother, but now I see her as a friend.
Moving out of my Mother's house last March was the biggest, scariest, and most exciting experience of my life. In a way, I finally became an adult....Leaving the nest. And man, I've done a lot of growing up in the past year!....Not that I wasn't grown up already, but it's the kind of growing up that couldn't happen without leaving.
Now in 52 days, I'll be taking another big step. Moving for the 2nd time in my life....Did you know, I HATE MOVING!, lol.
 November 13 Another goneI am now 24. Don't know how I feel about it yet.
So my party last night went well. Actually it went pretty good...
Ya know what?......Guys Suck!.....But the girls already know that. And if there are any guys out there reading this, keep the promises you make to the girls. When you don't, it just makes us resent you even more.
Lately, I've been seeing some of the problems that friends in relationships are going through, and the more I see, the more the prospects of 40 and single really aren't all that bad...Single doesn't stink that much. I have all the freedom in the world. I am not accountable to anyone but myself; I can come and go as I please. I do what I want, when I want. I don't have to worry about someone getting mad, and/or jealous because I'm spending time with another guy, friend or whatever. The downfall of being single....No cuddling, no companionship, no love! I guess it's a catch 22! September 09 Maybe I do have horseshoes up my......Just this past week, Wednesday to be precise, I won more stuff. I won tix to see Collective Soul, september 29. People can't believe the luck I have. And to be honest, neither can I. This is the second CONCERT I have won tickets to. The first was Black Eyed Peas in Saskatoon.If only I could win the lottery, I'd be set!August 18 Concert in the Park ( Canada Summer Games)Tuesday afternoon I was fully planning on going to the park after work to go see Captain Tractor. ( Ya know the song " The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" , they're the ones that sing it!) Called my mom and nephew to see if they wanted to go with me. Everything was all set to go, when upon listening to Z99, I heard they were giving away a free VIP pizza party at the Park, and also a chance to meet Captain Tractor. All I could think was, "Wow, that would be awesome!" Only catch, I would have the 9th caller. So I called....I was caller 1. I'm always caller 1 when they want caller 9. So I kept trying. Well holy crap, I was caller 9!!!! I won!
I called my mom, cuz she had to pick up the pass for me. She was stoked. I called my sister-in-law, to tell her not to feed my nephew, cuz we were gonna have free pizza at the park.
It was a party for 8. There were 4 of us. I called everyone who wasn't working. NO ONE was answering their phones. So my mom, aunt, & nephew came with me. My aunt left early, but mom and my nephew hung around.
T
he bands that played were:
* Indifference
* Parlor Trixx
* BILF
* Captain Tractor
Bilf was an awsome opening band. I think I'd see them again!
At the end of the show, we went backstage and got to meet Captain Tractor. They were so nice, and so cool! They were asking how I won the VIP party and I was teliing them that I was listening to the radio and had to be caller 9. They stopped and asked what station I was listening to, I had said Z99. Well, apparently they had been listening to Z99 when they got into town and heard me on the radio. I just think it's kinda cool, Captain Tractor was listening to my favorite Regina radio station!
****Check out the pics**** August 10 Inspirational???It's really very bizzar how things turn out..... Something happened last week, that was kinda disturbing, and could have been a lot worse than it was, and rather than running from everyone and everything and letting it jade me, I chose to deal with things differently. I decided to write my autobiography! No one will probably ever read it, but it's something I need to do for me. Life is one big bag of lessons that we have to learn from. I'm just trying to make the best of things, rather than being a pessimist ( which I usually am )."When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade" August 03 It's Hump-DayToday, I'm in pain! I had my first Dragon Boat practice last night and I'm sore today! But I'll live. Not gonna go to the gym tonight. Maybe tomorrow night!?!
Today, while I was at work, I came across a really cool site. It's too cool. It's satellite images of the world. You can enter an address and it will go there. Anywhere you wanna go. You can travel the world, and not have to leave your computer. You can zoom in & out. I actually spotted my car, and different "stand-out-ish" things throughout the city. It's definitely worth checking out. earth.google.com
August 02 Hmmmm....Today has been one of those days I should have stayed in bed. Actually, everyday lately, has been one of those days! I've just begun to lose patience, with almost everyone and everything. Although, getting away for part of the weekend did help a little, but I'd liked to have been gone longer.
So, I tried calling the "hot mover" guy. He wasn't there, so I left my number. He never called back, which is his loss, not mine. It hasn't affected my life at all. Maybe it was a good thing he never called, me being as cranky and bitter as I have been. Hopefully now life will get back to normal...I know, I say that all the time, but I really do hope so!. Once life gets back to normal, I can get back to my normal self, as opposed to the stressed out, irritated me! Everyone, keep your fingers crossed..... July 27 Good point, but somewhat shocking.....Both my roommates got me thinking last night..........
 Around 6pm, last night, I got a phone call from my mom, to come over and see this "hot mover". He was moving my Aunt from her apartment. So, when I got home, Mich & I were talking and I was telling her about him and I had mentionned to her, that he said I was "hot". I told her, I wasn't going let it go to my head, and it's not something I hear often, because the last time I remember being referred to as hot, by someone who wasn't drunk at the bar, I think was when I was dating Steve (Steve & I broke up 3.5 years ago). Mich said that there are other people that think I'm hot, or else they wouldn't have dated me in the first place, and I should take the "hot" comment as a complement.
Mich called Steve out of his room to join the conversation (yes I live with my ex, but NOTHING is going on). She asked him if , when we were dating, did he think I was "hot". His reply was, "Of course. There has to be some kind of physical attraction to date someone". All I could think was, " he really did think I was attractive, maybe Mich is right, maybe there are other people out there that find me attractive!?!" (Normally, I wouldn't be thinking like that, but I've been in a slump lately, and everyone is entitled to be in slumps every once in a while!)
It was getting to be late, so I decided to turn in. While I was laying in bed, I concluded, he was very attractive, and from what I saw, he seems like a nice guy, but who am I to know? I decided I WILL call him tonight (I didn't have a chance to give him my number, but he left his). I have got nothing to lose, and for all I know, he could be the "one", lol, we'll just see how things work out! July 25 "To love & to be loved is like feeling the sun from both sides"Why bother looking, trying, hoping, wishing, praying, waiting? I've always been told, good things come to those who wait. Well I think I've waited long enuf, where's my good thing?
I see 99% of my friends, in a relationship, and happy. Thats what I want! But I'm always the Single girl...The 3rd wheel. I want that person, I've been waiting for. I want to feel the sun from both sides. That person that makes me happy. Gives me butterflies whenever I talk to 'em, see 'em, or think of 'em. Someone that can make me goofy-eyed, and glowing. Someone that can enjoy relaxing at home on the couch, and just spending time together. Not always, going out doing something. Someone that can sweep me off my feet, with hardly any effort involved, because they don't need to try, they want to! I don't wanting expensive gifts, trips to 5 star hotels, extravagant shopping trips. I want simplicity!
Am I wanting too much out of one person? Is such a person really out there, and if so, where are they? Guide them this direction please! But honestly, is my desired man just a dream or is he achieveable? Because I don't want what I continously find.
I've dated, almost every type of guy out there, except murderer, cuz I'm still alive! "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Maybe thats my problem. Because of all the crap I've been through, I'm not gonna take it anymore, but I've also had to deal with it. Like I tell everyone else when things go wonky, "suck it up Princess", and that's just what I've had to do. July 22 Wolf Patio PartyLast night was the Wolf Patio Party at the Pump.
 I won it from the Wolf radio. There was, Rhondi, Jan & "Sunshine Lady" , from work. There was also Megz, Dee, Jen, Steve, Mom, Belle, Nat, Amanda, & Wendy. We had a blast! FREE BEER  . We turned in our tix and they gave us 2 drink tix. I also had tix left over, so we cashed them in. Then we find out, all our drink tix had to be used by 9 pm, so 3 of us got up and got 4 more each (if you check the pics, my Mom was one of the 3!) I had 4 beer sitting in front of me, and mom hands me 2 more. Unfortunately I couldn't drink them all. There would have been 9 in total. When it comes to drinking beer, I'm kind of a cheap drunk! After 4 beer, I was feeling pretty, umm, lets just say, if I didn't have to be at work at 630am, I would have stayed to "show off my dance moves", but Steve had my keys and he drove me home....What a good roommate! Anyway, that's the story of the "Pre-Weekend Pump Patio Party". It's now 710am and I REALLY need coffee....Mmmmm, coffee! July 17 "You want some of this?" WeekendThis weekend was amazing. Mich, Megz and I drove up to Saskatoon for the Black Eyed Peas concert. The concert was awesome. We had so much fun! Do it again in a heart beat.
We made it to S'toon around 1:30 Saturday afternoon. Did a little shopping, got another piercing :), ate a little food, then we needed a place to get ready for the concert. Andrew, as resourceful as he is, took us poor innocent girls to the University. He escorted us to the bathrooms and there us three girls were, getting the "full effect" of a concert roadtrip, getting ready in UofS bathrooms!!!
Andrew & Michy had pretty good seats. I think they came out on the good end of the deal! Megz & I were floor level, row 34, seats 10 & 11. All the tall people decided to sit right in front of us. So we got up, walked down the isle and were standing 6 rows from the front. We could see their faces and the sweat dripping off of them. Ya know, Fergie looks a lot taller on TV!
After the concert, Michy, Megz, Andrew & I went to the bar. We tried going to Overdrive, but the line-up was so long, we'd never would have seen the inside, at all (which we didn't...Sorry Roger, I know you went cuz we said we were going). So we decided to go to the Pat. Yawn! It was so lame. We stayed long enough to have a beer, dance to one song, and leave. We then attemped to try Overdrive again. Still a redonkulous line. So Riley's was gonna be our next stop. But we were all kinda pooped, and our feet hurt from dancing, and us 3 Regina girls, not knowing what to do or where to go, decided to head back to Regina.
The drive home was alright. Coulda hit a deer on the way. It was just sitting on the side of the road. We were lucky!
Right around Hanley I started getting really tired, so I cracked open the Red Bull. Stupid shit didn't kick in until Bethune! 4 o'clock this morning, we dragged our asses to bed. Had to work today, so I was dragging my ass, but man, it was well worth it!
