Phew!

Wow, what a busy week and last couple of days.
 
Big wedding this past weekend. This translates into almost a week ordeal. First there was the rehearsal dinner (which ended at 1am on a school night, but it's ok because I ended up sick and didn't go to school on friday), the actual wedding, then the day after the wedding (gift opening - where I was TOTALLY bored out of my gourd, ask Theresa I phoned her so that I could actually have human contact), plus there was the baby shower (for another cousin, which was last night). We also have another get-together with family on Friday. Don't get me wrong, family is really important to me and it's great seeing everyone but it's been like 5 days straight, ahhhh!!!
 
Wedding was great though. Probably one of the best weddings I've ever been too. The ceremony wasn't too long, just nice simple and sweet. The reception was fabulous, and miraculously I was able to eat the entire meal with no allergic reactions. Whoo! The dancing was great, and I have TONS of pictures, yay digital camera! Of course there were the moments where I felt like the girl at the high school dances that is standing against the wall, while everyone else dances. All and all it was really great though. Just a nice small and intimate affair. The best kind of wedding :) The funniest moment goes to when my brother caught the garter belt, it was hiliarious. So now the big joke is about how he is going to get married next year. Just too funny.
 
Haven't really had any time to do anything else lately. It sucks. I miss you guys. I don't think I've really seen or talked to anyone since Theresa's birthday (yikes! that's bad, even for me). Unforuantely for me, my exam is creeping up on me so who knows when I'll be able to actually have social time with friends (mind you, if i don't have any shifts, it could be arranged).

Needless to say though, I'm fairly exhausted. It's just been, run run run. I don't think I've eaten properly in days, and I haven't been on the treadmill in days either. It's all sooo wrong. Good news though, I've supposedly lost half of the weight I was supposed to according to the liver specialist. So yay me! But I'm sure part of it was put back on because of all the festivities. Oh well, it was worth it! Now it's just another 6 months before I actually get to see the specialist again, ugh! They got my blood and updated weight so that's all that matters.

Other good news, I got Super Mario Bros. 3. YAY!!! Of course we had to buy it for gameboy advance then we bought the little adapter so we can play it through the gamecube. Then my brother bought me gameboy advance (a sort of early grad gift - yay in two months today I'll be finished the national exam, YAY!!!). So I can finally play the super mario bros 3. Sweet!

Oh oh oh. Best news of all. OFFICIAL Roswell Season 2 release day. October 5, 2004. Yippee Skippee!!! So jazzed up now. The features seem kind of sucky, but oh well it's still coming out on dvd. Of course that's similiar to all the other tv show release dates, hopefully I'll have a job! Yay!

Any hoos, I've got some studying to do, resume fixing up (yes it's already finished but it's printing all wrong, of course) and typing up my cover letter. So much to do so little time. It's either feast or faim with me. But I was wondering if peeps wanted to get together some day and have a game night. We'll talk...Later days.

Sunday already?

Another busy day. Beginning of the day a little hectic but the later part much better, more relaxing.

Here's a list of accomplishments from this weekend

• was on the treadmill
  
• hooked up the old nintendo (although still have not located games)
  
• studied (v.g.)
  
• visited with family and extended family (thank god it's only once a year, unforunately, it happens again next weekend, only other side of family)
  
• cleaned my room
  
• bought shoes to go with outfit for wedding (although once I tried them on again at home, they didn't fit. Bizarre because they fit at the store, strange)
  
• got rid of pale/sickly skin color (thank you sun!)
  
• updated blog
  
• updated resumé

Nevertheless, it's been a busy couple of days and it's not about to slow down. At least there is only one wedding this summer, I don't know if I could handle any more family. Mind you it is fun to see all my little cousins. Before we left the three of them (21 months, 17 months and 14 months) were in the little wadding pool. They were all so cute. One's splashing all of them, one is chasing bubbles, and another is pouring water out of the little pool. They are so darn adorable. The only good part of seeing family, you get to see life through the eyes of three little kids. But whew, they sure have energy.

Sadly once the wedding is behind us, I'm going to be studying my ass off. I never realized just how much I have to review before the final exam and then the national. It's nuts! I just need to find me a rich man and I won't need to worry about any of this lol. JK. But at least I'm almost done... YAY!!!

Life is funny

Turns out, my rain turned into a drought. I actually ended up doing nothing with my friends, either party. When the time was changed from the morning to evening for the taste of manitoba, obviously I couldn't go because of it being my dad's birthday and us going out. Mind you he did tell me I should go, but that's a whole other issue and story that I won't bore you all with. Then my other plans fell through because we waited so long in making plans. Just too funny.

Busy day though. Barely a moment to myself. I was rudely awakened because my family wanted to give my dad his presents. I clearly stated that I did not wish to wake up until tomorrow, but I lost. Then we were running around town picking up this and that. Then we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. Cute server, food so-so. Not a big spaghetti fan mind you, but I was sort of hoping I could get a garlic alfredo type of meal, nope. Oh well the chicken parmaigana was good too. Couldn't walk after it though. Too much food. I'm still in pain actually and it's been over 3 hours. Damn you screwed up bowels!!! But I digress..

Oh and I've also hooked up our old NES system. Yes, you read right. The good 'ol 1980s gaming system called Nintendo. Turns out that although I thought it was broken it wasn't. The rhf cable we used to hook it up was broken, but we can use the a/v connector and it works. YAY!! Now I can play Super Mario Brothers 3 (well if I can find the games). I'm so jazzed now. I blame Erin. She's the one that brought up NES and that made me want to play ours, but I knew it was broken but I found it and obviously not the case. So yippee.

More to post, just not in the mood. Later days...

When it rains, it pours...literally

Seems the weather has decided to turn to rainy. We finally get some relatively nice days with actual sunshine and heat and now we've got rain. Normally I like rain but hello? it's july and we've seen little sun and had way below normal temps. What's up with that? (can you say greenhouse gases?).

My life. Normally filled with so many hours of studying, procrastination in regards to study and dread. Barely time to see friends (who are you guys again?) and family (not a big loss there). What are the chances that for once, I make plans and wouldn't you know it, I get invited out. Seriously, what the hell? No one phones me cause we all live busy lives, them BHAM! "wanna join us?" "wanna go out and do something" I need a longer saturday. ACK! Haven't got my plans figured out yet though. Let's see. It boils down to seeing a friend I haven't seen in a while, going to the Taste of Manitoba (never been there, sounds interesting, but have been having bowel issues lately), and having my dad's birthday (where he feels no one likes him, pfff!). When it rains, it pours with me. Two crazy weekends, then I'll have nothing for a long time (watch and see). But I digress.

End of school is getting cut-throat. I'm about ready to bitch-slap the people in my class. One person specifically, actually. This one is literally treading on thin ice with me. They all complain how there are little jobs and then are planning to go under others feet and steal things from them. UGH!!! I'm just so glad I chose a program where we were told there would be MANY jobs at graduation. Sadly, I don't see any of such jobs. Then with that one annoyance in my class, none of us will be able to get a job because they keep fucking us over. I'm just a tad bitter and pissed off. Plus my classmates keep ruling me out of certain jobs because they think I don't want them, HAH! I'm just not being jerks like they are and being big complaining babies. I've never seen so many people complain so much in my life. (mind you I am complaining right now, at least I don't do it at the work place, seesh). I just want to graduate and get the hell away from these psychopaths.

yayness

First of all yay new Harry Potter Title released "Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince." Very intriguing. J.K. Rowling did make mention that neither Harry nor Voldemort are the half blood prince, so I'm really looking forward to this 6th book. Hopefully it won't be a 4 year wait or anything absurd like that.

Secondly, new news of Roswell Season 2 coming to DVD. *happy dance*

*sing-song* Roswell's coming to dvd, roswell is coming to dvd, yippee more roswell on dvd....jason behr with no shirt, yummmmm *end of said dance and song*

No release date for Roswell season 2, but they're looking at a 4 quarter release (so the fall-ish). Money wise that's bad, because Alias comes out in September, Buffy season 7 is coming out in October, therefore Roswell will come out in November (why because I say so, but don't quote because that's just my saying so). Right there is almost $180. Yikes! That's a lot. Any ways, I just had to share in my yayness.

Toodles

I suck

Yup, you heard me. I admit it. I actually do suck.

Total amounts of posts in June: 9 (v. bad)
Total amounts of posts supposed to made: 30 (minimum)
My goal was to post everyday. Obviously that fell by the wayside. Can't say it really mattered though. I mean, as my sole visitor and "fan" the total amounts of posts doesn't matter a whole heck of a lot.

Truth be told, it's been very insane time in my life. Seems to be slowing down though, thankfully. I can only handle so many bad things at a time (one week comes to mind...thank god that ended, but not soon enough and if I never live to see another one of thoses, it'll be too soon).

Summary June sucked pretty bad for a while there. Only good thing is that I made money, yay for money. I like money, I don't have much, spent too much in these past months, so I'm back to hoarding it like a squirrel hoards nuts pre-winter arrival. Plus there were parties (birthdays, grads, etc..), those were fun though.

Come to think of it, July isn't going to really let up either. Wedding (yay have an outfit for now, and it has color, actual bonifide colors), golf-tournament and another birthday. Plus less than 2 months and I'll be finished my course. YAY!!! Sadly, there aren't many jobs. *shakes fist, grumbling* Damn you!!! I will find a job though, mark my words, I will have a job come fall time!! Might be a ruddy night job, but at least it will be work where I am bring home some cha-ching.

Here are some humorous events took place in my absence:

1)Obviously people in my class think I'm a Lesbian. That damn Women Studies class from my past doesn't help the cause either. Apparently, Theresa is my "partner" because I'm taking her to my grad dinner. When asked what my date would like to eat at our dinner, I told my classmate, I was simply waiting for a reply from my friend. To that she answered, "Ok, well just as long as you let me know what your partner wants." I didn't actually think she said that and didn't say anything to correct her, I was too flabbergasted to say anything. I guess, because I don't devuldge info about my love life means I'm a lesbian. Yikes! News to me.

It reminds me of that "Sex And The City" episode I watched last week (same day as that comment was made) how Miranda was set up on a blind date of sorts. Unforunately for her she was unaware it was a set-up with another woman. The lawyers at her firm came to the conclusion she was gay because they never saw her with a guy. Seemed funny to me at the time. I just thought great, these people in my class are no different than those characters in the show. Just because I'm single and don't devuldge info about my love life(or lack there of) and decide to bring a close friend with me to grad means I'm a Lesbian. Thank goodness, I don't care much for my classmates and it's like water on a duck's back but it's funny as hell she made that assumption. Craziness.

2) Come back from Grand Forks a few days ago, the guy at the Canadian border was funny. I'm sitting in the back with my brother's dvd player with headphones on. I realise in the past that people think I'm younger than I actually am. We're entering Canada and the customs guy (CG) asked my dad "Is that your child in the back?"
dad: "Um, yes that is my daughter" as he hands CG our ID
CG: "So you are the father and she is the mother?" [meaning my mom]
dad: "yes, we are her parents"
They continue the rest of the usual questions but as we're leaving CG gives my dad a pin and magnet saying it's for "your daughter."

So either this guy is bizarre, or likes to give out flag pins and such (to which I won't complain because it was free and who wouldn't like free Canadian stuff) or he didn't look at my age on my ID realizing that I was 22 not 12. Who knows, it was just funny. The way CG was refering to me, was as if I were 12 or something.

Happy Birthday Canada!

Already Canada day, eh? So what do you do on Canada day? Fireworks? Party? Go out of the country? lol Yup, that's exactly what I did. I went to Grand Forks. It was a blast. I was home by 8:30, so I didn't miss anything good about Canada Day. I saw fireworks from my house and all that fun stuff :)

Best of all I get to go back in just under 2 months, yay!! Just like last year. First I have to finish school, yuck! Oh well c'est la vie.

Nevertheless...

Happy Birthday Canada!!!
