Alright folks, it has been about a month now, so i figure it is time for another sit-down. plus im at work and surprise surprise im super bored. I just read mel's comment on my last blog, and i have to send a shout-out to the pretty girl who i just adore - thanks for being you my dear!

Now let's see...what has happened in the past month? i went to vancouver for the weekend and spent WAY more money then i meant to spend, so when i got my visa bill this month it kinda hurt a bit. my dad is an absolute sweatheart though and said that if i did some extra chores around the house, he would cover some of my expenses. love him. and chores there are, let me tell you. My mom had breast re-construction surgery last weekend (it's a good surgery don't worry). she had breast cancer 6 years ago and had a (im going to screw up the spelling on this sooo bad) masectommy, and now she finally got the re-construction surgery and we are all really happy for her, the only problem is she's basically out of commision for 6 weeks so that means i have to clean the house from top to bottom, make food, clean dishes, do laundry, plus work two jobs and go to school. so i have been busy, but sometimes busy is good.

Also lately i have been having a love affair with soup..from safeway. they make the best darn soup, if anyone is a soup fan, try the tomato tuscan and basil bisque - to die for!

Also, last night i saw the duchess. it was AMAZING! however, because i read the book i need to vent some frustrations - first off, georgianna doesn't meet charles grey at anytime untill after she gives the duke a son. second, her sister Harriot is a main character in the book and she is not even mentioned in the movie. thirdly, her and bess remain best friends for their whole lives regardless of the fact that bess is sleeping with the duke. BUT other then leaving those few things out, the movie was one of my favorite period films and one of the best book/to/movies i've ever seen. well done! And lucky me, before i went to the movie (in portage place), i went to starbucks to read for a bit before i met my sister, and im enjoying myself when this strange man comes up to me and starts talking to me. and im thinking how on earth do i slip in the fact that i have a boyfriend (my standard answer for getting rid of creeps, not necessarily the truth), and anyways he was just beyond wierd, but then we starting talking about church, and i said i went to springs and he's like, "oh do you know so-and-so?" i stop dead. im like, ya um..i went to high school with them. him - "oh so you went to mbci? - my dad used to teach there." ok so now at this point im totally marveling not only how weird this guy is, but also how stinking small winnipeg is. turns out his dad worked there way before i went there, but seriously it was wierd. short story long, i told him i was late to meet someone and booked it out of there. phew. it was quite a night. and yet another reminder as to why one should never be at portage place alone after 6pm.

so...the olympics are over, micheal phelps has a girlfriend, and i am back at school. what a busy few weeks. Again i am bored at work, so i thought i would catch you all up on what has been going on. (or in other words, i thought i'd fill mel in cause i think she's the only one who reads this...and i think it's more of a pity read anyways...but i will take what i can get) Mel decended onto our lovely province last night and i can't wait to see her! and next week is her brother's wedding and they were kind enough to invite me so i will be there scopping out the scene looking for hot boys. it better not dissapoint. If it does, there is a party we might hit up afterwards that could prove to be most promising.
School started last week, and so far no complaints. there is lots of work but i just keep telling myself that i only have a few more months to go, and then things always look much better.
Tonight im going to order chinese food and invite some people over and hopefully they will decline so i can have it all to myself...geez. anyways, someone just came into the store so i shall depart for now...until i am bored again...

Alright, well to start off i must get something off my chest - i've been disloyal to Ryan Dinwiddie. He was once my hottie, but i have since changed my mind. sorry Ryan. Micheal Phelps is all that and a bag of chips as far as im concerned. I have stayed home every night this week, refusing to see anyone because i must watch the sexyist man alive swim his meets. and he doesn't dissapoint. His body is amazing, and i am addicted to the Olympics because of him. Tonight is his final swim, and it's the relay. i hope his teammates don't let him down and he can beat Mark Spitz's record.
On the other side of things, not much new to report. work is good on both fronts, school starts soon and i can't wait to finally be done. December baby. And don't ask me what im going to do after wards, i have NO idea. im just gonna take it one day at a time and see where life decides to take me.
I went to a stagette last weekend and had a blast! it was so much fun, especially going to pita pit with nicola, and then walking back to the bar down the pembina bridge by myself. why is it that whenever i drink i seem to find myself stumbling around outside? sigh..who knows. at least i didn't get frostbite this time. Amison's wedding is next weekend, and of course i have been stressing for months aobut what to wear. I went to old navy (sshh..don't tell anyone), and found a black dress that im going to spiff up and hopefully no one will guess where it's from. i just can't pass up getting a dress for 40 bucks, it's too good. speaking of deals, last night i went to zellers (they were on cityline fashion friday) and i was looking quite dishelved and of course i had to run into people i knew. i was like, "it's friday night at zellers for pete sake" but it was Gary from work and his beautiful wife so it was ok. ANYWAYS, the point of this was to say that zellers pretty much rocks. they have great clothes that they knock off from designers, it's super cheap, and no body shops there so you don't have to worry about people knowing where you got something from. unlike Joe, which i love, dont get me wrong, but EVERYBODY knows it's Joe, and EVERYBODY is wearing it and what's the point in trying to be original if everyone is wearing the same thing?

So today i am at work, and because we are slow i will take this time to reflect on the past week. Basically i never slept and went out with mel lots which was grand. I really do not have much to talk about but i'm bored so here goes. Im reading my gossip mags and reading a book pretty much at the same time which is fun. after work im heading to chapters to buy more books cause im almost done my last one. it was good, i wouldn't recommend it to others though because it's written as a biography and it can get a little boring. i want romance and mushy stuff like that to wittle the time away while i read. this one requires alittle too much thought.

Anyways, i got good news on tuesday - my proff gave us an extra week for our papers, so i can work on it for a little longer which is great cause i don't even have a topic picked out yet.

As im looking out the window im hoping that we have some nice weekends in august so i can get somewhat of a tan. but then again even if i sit out in the sun all day you would never be able to tell. i suppose when im 80 and have no wrinkles i will be proud of my extremely pale skin.

So mel mentioned something to me the other day that i thought was interesting - how come when you're walking somewhere and a guy totally checks you out and gives you that little "i like what i see" smile, he just keeps walking. she thought they should just stop and ask you out. i suggest they are afraid of the fear of rejection. so my theory is that people should wear a big sign on their head that says "single" or "taken". this might solve that problem.

On a side note - Ryan Dinwiddie is smoking hot. just thought i'd throw that out there.

So i have just arrived home from the lake after a beautiful weekend with my best friend. It's late and i should be in bed right now cause i know i'll be kicking myself tommorow morning when the alarm clock goes off. but anyways, i had a wonderful time with melly furtado, even though we got the atv stuck in the mud and i swear i still don't know how the heck we got it out of there...mel was litterally side-ways in the mud, but after about an hour of getting eaten alive by bugs, we managed to push/wench it the heck out of there. it didn't help that the atv we were wenching it out was on the bottom of a huge hill and we couldn't get it up the hill in reverse to pull the atv that was stuck out...the wonders of women power, let me tell you. Anyways, this week should be something to look forward to, im actually going to leave the confines of my house and go out! i think me and mel have something plannned for every night this week so that should be a blast! and to top it off i have a HUGE paper due next tuesday that i will be spending sunday working on...ain't life grand. i really should learn to plan ahead better, but that way i would have nothing to complain about, and if i had nothing to complain about i would never speak.

so right now i am at work at poppie. it's a saturday and it's hot out and of course i am not at the lake but instead stuck inside a over air conditioned place (not that im complaining it's better then folding linen in a non-air conditioned hell hole), but anyways, im cold right now and have many layers on that i know will come off as soon as i get outside.
So im counting down the days till Mel comes home...only about 2 weeks left i think, i'l have to dubble check..but anyways, im excited for that.
I have to write a paper tommrow on my day off, i seriously am stupid to take a spring course, but i guess i'll thank myself in the fall. speaking of fall, i'll finally be done school - if anyone tells you it's a good idea to take a year off school, don't listen to them, cause 1 will turn into 3 and before you know it you'll be the oldest person at university. yup.

i want an iphone but i have a Telus phone plan. i could however get off the telus plan, and go to Rogers, but daddy still pays for it and therefor i would have to start paying for it myself. what to do...and so after much consideration, i have decided to forgo my dreams of an iphone and get myself a shiny hot pink phone from telus instead. and to drown my sorrows, i will go for bubble tea.

ok so this is blog numero uno. number one in the common tounge. right now i am at work and looking out the window to a rainy, dismal day. i hate the rain. not only does it ruin a potentaily perfect hair day, the bottoms of your jeans get wet and stay wet all day. and if you wear flip flops which i do often, you can whipe out easily, which i do often.
When it rains it feels like a soup day. i just found out soup pierre has chicken mulagatauny on and i want it real bad.
I also have to go shopping today which i normally love but it's raining and i don't want to. i looked through my closet last night and realized i only have 2 pairs of shorts for summer. that just won't do. i hear joe had 40% off sales on the weekend so i might shimmy on down there.
Mel called me last night and i was excited - she said she might be comming home for a visit soon. it would have been better had she said she was comming home for good, but beggars can't be choicers i suppso.
I just got my hair cut on friday - bangs! after i had them the last time i swore never to get them again, but after two years of growing them out you tend to forget what a pain they are. And they aren't too much of a pain right now, i pretty much love them.
Why the heck won't the sun shine? i have my new gladiator sandals all ready to go but it's too cold for them right now...i think i'll wear them tommorow regardless of the weather. Take that mother nature.
