Cream Soda Kisses

I just ate 7 freezee's... and am considering going back for more. I also spent like 6 hours trying to work on cards. I got no where. Although I had an incredibly brilliant idea for Danielle's bridal shower card... so if I could get the rest of my friggen creativity in gear then I could totally pull something amazing out of my ass. Apparently today I am lacking in that department however. Oh well, phase one of the card making is at least in motion. I have decided on what to make for one card... that leaves like a billion more ... I am making one for Sabrina's dinner... Sabrina's wedding... Danielle's shower, Danielle's stagette (which I think will be really fun to make) and then my fasha's birthday, and Danielle and Chad's wedding, oh yes, and my moms birthday follows shortly after that. That is it until October when it will be Meghan's wedding and I will have cards to send her way since I probs won't be making it to her wedding. As well as Tania's birthday etc etc. So uhm, I should be a professional card maker by the time this year is over. I am going to get ready for bed now... and have another freezee mmmmm.

Marlee 1 Old Navy 0

What an evening.

My visit with my aunt turned out really well actually. She got here fiiiinally around 7:30pm and she wanted to go shopping immediately. Thank God she shops differently than my mom (she could spend days in one store I bet) and we buzzed around the mall until it closed and actually made it into more than one or two stores. Old Navy turned into a 5 minute trip, a quick buzz around the store, she found a shirt she liked, she tried it on overtop of her clothes, didn't look in a mirror, just looked down and decided she liked it, took it off and walked to the register. Done. I will admit that she shops too fast even for me. She literally will duck into a store, stop, look around quickly and if nothing catches her eye immediately, she moves on. Aside from that though we had made two trips to lululemon haha. She bought one sweater for the girl babysitting her kids, and then decided that she liked it and wanted it so she would buy the girl a different sweater haha so we had to go back.

After all was said and done we went for dinner at the cactus club since I was hoping it'd be quick because I wanted to get into bed at a still decent time... But we ended up eating and staying there until about quarter to 11, then finally we got back home. I set up her bed and wrote her directions on how to get out of the city. I gave her directions to the willingdon exit though because apparently the gaglardi way one was too hard for her to understand haha. So whatevs, she obviously made it outta here some how today as I didn't receive any phonecalls for directions.

We ended up staying up until 1 in the morning just about blabbing about the family and what not. She was telling me a bunch of stuff about what my grandma was like and the sorts of things that her and my mom experienced as kids, and the shinanigans that they used to get into (my mom was a friggen nightmare child haha). My grandmother was schizophrenic, and died when I was 5 so I didn't know much about her. My mom never talks about her and I've never asked, however my aunt is really open with discussing everything so I find it really interesting to hear these stories that my mom would never bring up.

After I went to bed I immediately regretted staying up so late because morning came way too soon. I was paranoid I would sleep through my alarm again so I hardly slept at all, maybe a total of 3 hours. I wasn't exactly energetic today that's for sure but I guess I held up alright. I'm still awake, although I have no motivation to do anything at all. I am going to shower in a little bit and head straight for bed.

I spent a good hour online this afternoon trying to find a stupid doctor. Does anyone know a female doctor that is actually decent who doesn't just rush you out of the room as fast as they can so they can get in their next patient? Cause fuck if I can find one. I don't even know where to start. I hate walk in clinics, I just want an actual doctor, one that I will go see whenever somethings up who will actually become familiar with my medical history. I don't know how things work down here either. Obviously it's no news that women have to do an annual pap test... but I don't know if you can just go see a gyno down here? Or do you have to be referred to one? Because where I'm from you had to see your general practitioner and then if you had problems they would refer you to one, but you would pretty much have to see them 20 times with that same problem before they might even consider referring you. So I don't know how the eff it works down here and it's frustrating the hell out of me.

Whatevs. I think it's time to go shower and get myself to bed extra early.

Round Two With Old Navy

Well today has started off as a pretty lamo day. I woke up literally an hour later than I need to leave my house by in order to get to work on time. So needless to say I was an hour late to work today. Which in the end didn't turn out to be an entirely bad thing because for some reason I am absolutely exhausted today. I don't know if it's just the change in the weather that has gotten me all screwed up, but I am tiiiiired.

To add to the longness of my day, my aunt will be here tonight. However it's my mom's sister, and she wants to go shopping as soon as she gets here -sigh.- And guess where she wants to go? That's right... Old Navy. What the hell is the deal with that? Seriously, her and my mom could live in an old navy store and find everything they ever needed in there. I don't understand at all. But my aunt will only be here for tonight and she will be leaving tomorrow morning for Chilliwack... And that looks completely wrong and probably is spelled wrong but I don't care. Apparently the story is that my great aunt Gaye has passed away and the funeral is tomorrow. I am not going, which sounds shallow but really is not. I have only met her once in my life and that was when I was 13. I am not at all in touch with anyone on my mothers side of the family aside from my mom and my aunt. I don't talk to my grandpa, I don't talk to my great grandma, and I don't even really talk to my moms sister all that much. It sounds really rude and shallow, but I don't know how to explain it better than I didn't grow up with them being a part of my life, so why should it be any different now? Most of them probably don't even know I exist. I have a great uncle too but I have no idea where he is or anything about him either. I didn't even know my moms mom was my grandma until shortly before she passed away. I only found out she was my grandma because my brother said to her at Easter "Grandma would you like some jelly beans?" I had always thought she was just one of grandpa's friends that he would pick up from the hospital and bring over to visit whenever we came. Pretty sad.

So tonight will hopefully go by quickly. I need to go to bed early because I don't want to sleep in again tomorrow, I don't know how I managed to sleep in so late, normally I'll wake up you know, by 5:30 and say oh shit. But today it was 6:16 and it was a huge "SHIT!" when I woke up and noticed it was light out haha.

Saturday we had a potluck at the Perizzolo's for the choir that is here from Italy. I had an absolute blast. I wish I would have brought my camera to take pictures but oh well I guess. I was the only person who couldn't speak italian there, so it made for a very interesting night. But by the end of it I was feeling quite comfortable, even though I still couldn't say anything to anyone without someone to help translate. There was one guy though that kept winking at me haha it was so funny. When he first arrived he was speaking italian to me, and when Dario explained that I didn't know how to speak it, he tried to say "So you like big handsome italian men??" but it came out "You like italian man beautiful' hahaha it was great.

Dario and I wanted to go hiking on Sunday however he hurt himself at work on Friday so I made sure he rested so he was better for work today. He claims he was fine and could have done it, and I'm sure he could have, but he would have regretted it afterwards when he woke up in pain first thing Monday morning haha. I'm really hoping we can get some friggen time to ourselves to do something nice this summer. We haven't had much for chances there's always something going on. He's always working Saturdays so that really only leaves Sunday for us, and either something is going on, or the weather is absolute shit. This weekend is the trevisani picnic and Sabrina gets here as well so until after her wedding there won't be any free time. After that we may get a chance to have a day to ourselves to go out hiking or something. I am trying to convince Dario that we need to just pick a day and do it.. and if something comes up that we're invited to that we need to say no because otherwise we won't have any friggen time to do something for ourselves that we enjoy. I think it's a pretty reasonable request but we will see how it all pans out.

Buuuuuuut I should probably go now, my aunt will be here in a few hours and it would probably be appropriate if I started putting my laundry away and got some bedding ready for her for tonight. Sigh. Round two with Old Navy here I come *boourns*

I lurv you with your scraped arms and everything.

The week is finally over. Thank God. No more rush rush bullshit. I am exhausted feeling, but not tired... if that makes sense?? It's been a long few days. These are just a couple of pictures of one of the three big rush jobs we finished this month. It means nothing to anyone else but it's called a rosserhead debarker. I didn't take pictures of the pieces individually because I've had no time but I snapped a few of these while we were getting ready to load it on the truck today. Excuse the blurry pictures, they're off my phone that has the broken lense.



Yesterday Dario and I went for dinner with Denis and Rachel at the cactus club. It was good. I had some drink called a "pussy galore" ... oddly enough, even me with the most vulgar mouth ever couldn't ask the waitress for it, I made Dario ask haha. The stuff that was in the drink sounded like a great combination but come on man, do you have to name it something so ridiculously disgusting? For those of you who don't already know... I hate the "P" word. I think it's even more disgusting than the "C" word.... which is probably the worst word to most people. But I got off track, the whole purpose to say that we went for dinner last night was to point out that Dario got us a nice 65 dollar parking ticket in my car. Sigh. 50 bucks if its paid within 15 days. So whatevs.


I made a sort of "to do" list... it's not so much a "to do" list... it's more so a "so many frickin things going on and I can't find a calendar" list. I have a car appointment tomorrow to FINALLY get my horn fixed. 'Bout time cause I'm going insane lately. It seems like now that my horn doesn't work I need it much more frequently. Oh well, problem solved lets hope.



I just got home from the mall a little bit ago and it pretty much went from thinking I might just be able to relax and browse around for some shit, to stressing me out and making me realize once more why I hate shopping. I went to old navy again because I had a gift card for there and I can never find anything anytime I go in there, so I even looked for something for my little sister but it all seemed like it would be either way too small or way too big. She's at that awkward stage where she can fit an XS womens shirt, but they're kind of made for girls who have a little bit of boobies sorta dealio, which Hannah is 10 so obv. she has none yet. Wow... you know what? It just occurred to me that I started wearing bra's in grade 5... and she's going into grade 5... God I'm getting old fast. Anyways... so yeah I looked around and couldn't find anything for her, and nothing that really interested me, so I just grabbed two t-shirts and got the hell out of there so I never have to go back again.

While I was walking out to my car there was this crazy couple fighting. The guy was like on his knees with the passenger side door open and his girlfriend and him were screaming back and forth. And I do mean screaming. It was odd.

And aside from all that I had some guy try to sell me skin crap when I basically first walked in. You know those little stands like Pro-active etc? kay well there was a different onE, no idea what it was called but it was for some organic skin care crap. It seemed like it would be nice face stuff, but it was actually really gross. He grossed me out. Nice enough guy, but you know how sales people are. So yeah, here's the scoop. He makes me wash my hands with some sort of body scrub stuff, then he tells me to try the lotion. I figure, why not I'll take advantage of free lotion and then fuck off from here. He's wasting my time so why not waste his? haha. Anyways, so after that he has this face stuff that you're supposed to use once a week. It's like a clear gel. So he makes me hold out my arm (which still has paint on it from work by the way) and he puts a little on my arm. He kind of rubs it in a little and leaves it for about a minute while he blabs his face off. Then he starts rubbing it again, and no word of a fucking lie, all the dead skin on my arm started to like, rub off. IT WAS DISGUSTING. AND HE'S THE ONE RUBBING IT! Like it's not like I was rubbing my own dead skin of my own arm, no, HE was rubbing MY dead skin off. That is soooooooo GROSS. That turned me off from the whole product. Sorry to say but I don't think that should be your best selling point. I'm just worried I'm going to wake up with a rash or something on my arm hahaha.

So yeah, aside from all of that it's pretty much it for new stuff. I spent a couple hours at Dario's tonight but he had a rough day at work so he went to bed early which is why I went and did some errands and browsing.

I tried to find hair stuff for Danielle's bridesmaids since I was out and about anyways, but man gold stuff is so hard to find. I found ONE possible broach that could work but I donno how Danielle would feel about it so I will post a picture of it haha. Because I'm really tired right now and too lazy to open a new browser and send an individual e-mail. But I don't know. I think it would look better in dark hair than it does on this shitty fake fur pallet... however I'm not sure if it would come off too east-indianish or not haha.


Buuuut yeah I am so done for now. I just want to go to bed. 10:25 on a Friday night and I'm going to be out like a light. So sad. I still have to think of something to make for a potluck tomorrow night. I think I am going to bake something. I enjoy baking.

What in the shit?

Whoo man I need a friggen calendar.

Is everyone getting married but me? I'm pretty sure that's happening. Last night anoooooother girl posted weekend photos which included her boyfriend popping the question. She just turned 19 last September. So like... she's going on 20 and is engaged... after seeing this guy for something like 8 or 9 months max maybe. Is it just me or does this seem ridiculous? What is it with all these young people getting engaged after like 6 months of dating someone?? It's one thing for people to get engaged who've been together for long enough to get to actually know each other, but I swear it just seems like people are starting to get married just for the hell of it. Like come the fuck on. 19!?! GET OUTTA HERE. That would be the friggen day. And the thing is, is this girl when I knew her, was whorey as hell. I'm talking every time she had a boyfriend for more than a week, she'd cheat on him, and then she would say she was 'so confused' because she 'loved them both' Like what the shit. This is ridonkulus. I'm happy for people who are actually getting married and you can just tell that their marriage is gonna work, but come on, 19?! That's seriously all I have to say to that haha. Maybe I'm just secretly jealous or something. Actually that isn't a maybe, I am, because come on, I never thought I'd see the day where that sleezebag would get married before me. Pfffffft. I actually only have a problem with her, I couldn't care less about anyone else really, but her, it bugs me. Like I said, her douchie-ness is a major problem for me haha. Oh well. Perhaps she has changed. Lets hope so.

Anyways, back to my calendar topic. I really need a calendar. There are so many events coming up, and so many days I need to mark down because I know that I won't forget the events, but the days are gonna come out of nowhere and I'm going to be like, 'OH MY GOD I'M NOT READY FOR THIS I TOTALLY FORGOT AND ITS IN TWO DAYS!' so, I need a day planner. I should steal Dario's since he used it for like a week and then never touched it again, aside from to collect his receipts in. Well spent money there that's for sure haha.

God. 19?!!

I want to rip that kids face off that I work with because he's driving me absolutely nuts. How he still has a job is beyond me. I guess because they know he's leaving in September to go back to school that they'll just wait it out... but if I don't kick him in the junk before then, I will be honestly amazed. It's bad enough that the kid is slow, but he's also useless. He can't do anything. I scraped, cleaned, AND painted like a zillion parts today for an entire machine, PLUS the guards for it, as well as loaded and unloaded trucks and got things ready to ship to different places, and did a bit of cleanup, all in the time that it took him to friggen buff the rust off of about 10 pieces of steel. Not even shitting you. 8.5 hours for me today, for all of that, I wish I had pictures of everything I did but I will take pictures when the piece is fully assembled tomorrow perhaps... and he worked for like 6 hours today because he 'leaves early on wednesdays for doctors appointments' and that's all he did. I wanted to beat him. The worst part of it all is I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THAT JOB ANYMORE! THAT'S WHY HE'S FRIGGEN THERE! But because he can't make anything look nice or not have a million runs in the paint, I have to do all of the big stuff still because he's too slow for starters, and does a shitty job for second. He actually had the nerve to say to me today "Wow is this only one coat?' and when I said 'no this has 4 coats of paint on it' he was like 'man, how did you do that so fast? And you didn't even get any runs in it! that's like impossible to do!' ... uhm no buddy it's not, it's called practice, which is something you would get if you weren't such an idiot to begin with. GAHD.

Sorry for all the ranting. Between miss 19 year old and mister dipstick I've hit my limits of frustrations today. So tomorrow hopefully will be a better day, I was supposed to work overtime but since Dario and I are going for dinner with Denis and Rachel, I won't be able to stay too late so I will have to start at 5 to make sure everything is done and ready to be shipped for Friday. Sigh. I wish we could hire useful people. That's uh what, 6 duds out of 7 in the last month and a half? 4 no shows, 1 fired, 1 total idiot, and 1 that actually works and can do shit. Hmm. Lookin like pretty good odds to me. hah.

... 19?! Seriously!...

Fuck me I am going to go have a shower now haha this is getting out of control.

Bocce Do Bocce Don't


Well I have stayed home "sick" today. I am pmsing like a mawh fucka which is the actual reason I have stayed home, and I'm sure the people at work would thank me for doing so if they were to realize how cranky I really am. I never used to get like this, but the cramps and the back pain etc have gotten so much worse over the years and the bitchiness is simply a result of the rest of the crap getting worse haha.

So aside from that unnecessary and too much information introduction I guess I'll blog a little bit about what I did all weekend.

This picture makes me laugh. I went to take a picture of him and he did this. It's as though the football is his child. haha.

It was my friend Mark's birthday on Wednesday, we had decided to do a barbecue for Saturday, but then plans changed since UFC and affliction fights were on so we headed on over to the mountain shadow instead. The affliction fights were boring but the UFC ones were a lot better. However needless to say I don't think I will go back to that pub because everytime I go there the whole upstairs is now reserved for some obscure reason and we end up playing musical tables all night. This time we gave up and sat outside in the smoking area and watched the fights out there, it was retardedly stupid.

So yesterday we had the bbq that was rescheduled and we decided to do the typical confederation park business. However when I arrived there the italians had taken over with one of their picnics and their bocce so we went to the other side of the park this time around instead. It was absolute madness over there, italian music, hundreds of italians, and of course really really really bad park jobs since they eventually just give up and park wherever they damn well please haha.


It was a good time there. I have a few pictures but I don't feel like uploading them all, maybe I'll put them on facebook instead since I can do it all at once and its easier than blogger.

I started learning how to throw and catch a football better. I'm starting to get the hang of the catching thing but my throws are still absolutely terrible.

However girls dominated the first game of bocce, but failed miserably for the rest of the time basically. Although we did beat Mark and Jeremy 11-2. hah. Our girls team consisted of Krystal, Dean and I. haha Dean was one of the girls for the night. And then Dario, Jeremy and Mark were on the other team.


Tomorrow is Danielle's hair trial so will be nice to get done and out of the way. The wedding madness is just about started, once Sabrina arrives it's going to be madness for the entire month basically. It should be pretty exciting though. I've never had this many weddings before to do but I guess I'm nearing the age where all of the friends and what not start getting married. This summer I'd been invited to 5 weddings between may and October, however only 3 of them I will for sure be attending, one is a definite no (it's this coming up weekend in edmonton) and then Meghan's is in October in Olds Alberta but it's the weekend after we get back from our hunting trip up north so we'll see if I'll be able to afford those expenses. It's looking like a no though.

I absolutely hate sick days. I've been laying in bed until 11 and now I'm just fiddling around on the computer for a bit before I decide to go lay back down and pop in another movie. Yeah I'm thinking this is about it for today. Nothing exciting :P

Asswipe please?

bleach bleach bleach. I think I am going to bleach my hair again this evening. I'm getting roots and it's bugging me. That and it's still just too orangy gahhdd. Hopefully I don't absolutely destroy my hair tonight.

Speaking of hair that reminds me to e-mail Danielle, aaaaaaand I also have to make an appointment to get the oil changed in my car since I am now 2000kms overdue. Yugh. And I still need to get my friggen horn fixed before I almost kill another 65 year old lady when they cut me off.

I am pretty gross feeling right now. My body is hurting pretty much everywhere, so I am going to have a nice hot shower after I bleach out some hairs, and then lay around and do nooooothing. I'm going to sit and eat some icecream I think while I watch the biggest loser, it's sad that that is usually my thursday night ritual, minus the icecream. I don't usually eat icecream. Chips are my weakness for show.

My limited entry tags came in. I was so excited. So I e-mailed my dad and brother a message that says "Read em and weep" hahaha, with pictures of my limited entry tags. My dad had a pretty good laugh about it.

It was my friend Mark's birthday yesterday, so I made him pretty much the coolest birthday card ever. Except the only reason it was cool is because Spiderman was on the front, and Wall-E was on the inside... and it was a pop up. Pretty much amazing I tell you. I think next time I am going to alter my pop up technicalities though so it doesn't wrinkle up the pop up item when you fold it.

I can't believe it's already Thursday, this week has pretty much blown by. We don't have to work Saturday either which was amazing to hear. As well as no OT today or tomorrow. THANK GOD. Friday OT is the worst kind of overtime there is. And then Saturday is basically just depressing all together so you deal with it.

But I have had a very monotonous/long/boring day today so I am going to mildy entertain myself by ruining my hair some more.

PS... how gross is this? Marks roommate didn't buy toilet paper for a month and a half. A MONTH AND A HALF. When they ran out, Mark always buys it, so this time he bought some and stashed it away in his room. Only taking it with him to the bathroom when he had to go, and then he'd put it back in his room, hahaha. He decided to do this to see if Lars would finally go buy the friggen asswipe, but no, a month and a half later he still hadn't bought the asswipe. That's gross man. And when FINALLY krystal mentioned she had to pee but there was no friggen toilet paper, Lars stated "i don't believe in toilet paper... I just shower after I shit..." ... uhm EXCUSE ME?! THAT'S SO GROSS! Who shits and showers!? UGH. But you know what, he finally went and bought toilet paper apparently. Don't believe in it... pfft. Whatever. Who DOESN'T believe in toilet paper?! No matter how "green" of a person you are, you'll still wipe your ass, that's one thing paper will always be wasted on.

Anyways, thats my gross story for the day. Time to wreck hair.

The Glorious World of Facebook

Wow it's been awhile since I've blogged about anything. The weekend went really well, work Saturday but had an awesome BBQ afterwards with Dario, Chad, Danielle, Steve, and my roommate Krystal of course. I have pictures, but I will post them another time.

Aside from all that, nothing too exciting has happened. I'm a little irritated this afternoon. My mom phoned me while I was still at work and told me to call her back as soon as I left work before I got home. Which is always unusual since she always makes me get off the phone if I call her while I'm driving, but today was an exception I guess. She phoned to tell me that a family friend had passed away, and she wanted to tell me before I saw all of the stupid comments on facebook. When I actually saw them and realized what she meant I got a little irritated.

Everyone had started changing their facebook status' to: "My heart goes out to Tina and Bailey" "Thinking of the Gainor family." ... Like fuck off. Seriously, when did this become about you? Sure it's nice to express your condolences but does it have to be on your facebook status? I'm sure right now Tina is jumping on facebook to read everyones condolences while her 8 year old daughter who just lost her father is sitting beside her in anticipation to read what everyone has said.

Get the fuck out of here. I'm sure she knows that we all are thinking about them right now. I'm sure everyone is saying 'oh my god poor Bailey and Tina" ... the girl is 8 and her dad just died, that's a shitty situation, anyone and everyone is going to agree. But whatever happened to expressing our condolences in person if possible? Or by giving them a phonecall? Or sending them a card? Or in the absolute last case scenario if you have none of the above information, sending them a personal e-mail? If you have absolutely NO other contact information and you only have them on your facebook and want to express your condolences, send them a friggen private message, don't write it on their fucking wall, or change your status to 'thinking about you" ... Seriously. What is this world coming to when facebook status becomes our first instinct of how to express our emotions. Get a life.

I enjoy going on facebook and sending people messages, and yeah writing messages on peoples walls, but even if I write 'congratulations' or something on someones wall, I will still always say it in person again when given the chance or send them an actual email or phone them if the person means enough to me to do so. If you're ONLY expressing your emotions on facebook, it basically shows that you don't know them well enough to say it in person etc yet you take it upon yourself to change your status so the world knows and questions you 'why what happened to Bailey and Tina???"

We all like the gossip world of facebook, but why is it all of a sudden we base our lives around it? It's convenient if you want to send a mass message out to everyone to organize an event, or to get in touch with old friends and maybe strike up a relationship again with them and get together for a visit. But as for the rest, it's becoming just too out of hand.

But like I said. I'm sure Tina has logged onto facebook now because there isn't anything more important than that going on.

You know what pisses me off even more? People had changed their status' on facebook before Bailey even knew her father had passed away. Everyone had waited to tell Bailey because she was on the island visiting her dad at the time, and while he was at work a tree fell on him. They told Bailey that he was in the hospital because he was really really sick, until her own mom was able to get there to be able to tell her what really happened. Now imagine she was a few years older and the same situation happened, but she was at home waiting for her mom to show up before she could go to the hospital to 'see how dad is,' and she was randomly surfing through facebook and came across that shit? Wouldn't that be awesome.

Like think a bit about what you're doing people. I would fucking blow if I found out someone in my family had died by reading it on facebook. Why is it these friggen idiots feel it's necessary to take it upon themselves to write shit like that??

But whatever. I'm sure their hearts are in the right places, but their brains sure aren't. They need to give their fucking heads a shake.

Quit stealin' my mail mail thief

Bob from work bought me a present :) haha he is so sweet. He says he wants to stock me up on tools because he has a billion that he doesn't use and about 5 different tool boxes all filled with the same stuff, just all in different locations, and since he hasn't been around an apprentice for some time he was all excited to help get me settled!

I can't remember which store it was, but they were having a major sale on Mitutoyo tools. The protractor/square set is usually about 270 bucks now a days, but it lasts for years upon years. Some of the guys at the shop have had their's for over 20 years now. So I have been admiring them but that is just way too much money to spend right now, especially since I am pretty new at this all. However since this store was having a major sale and what would normally be 270 bucks was on for 98 bucks, our boss was going to order them all for us and just take the cash off our paycheques... so I considered doing it, but Bob told me that he had actually just boughten me a set (it's not Mitutoyo but it's still a really good set) so now I have these new bad boys:

It even had a cute little box!



I am so excited to put them to use!

Ugh, side note, I am making chili for dinner and I just burned it so bad. I effing hate our stove. It's always soooo hot even when you put it on low. Whatevs I'm eating it anyways because there's no way I'm throwing a whole pot of food out.

PS: look who I found on blogger yesterday randomly while clicking 'next blog' ...

Talk about a small world. Of all the blogs to pop up!

I am eating my burnt chili and it's not the best, so I've smothered some bread with butter and am dipping it in to mask a bit of the taste hahaha. So unhealthy! I am going to cleanse my pallet afterwards with vanilla icecream as well. mmmm.

I have to look for some hair pictures for Tania for Sabrina's wedding. She gave me an idea but said she couldn't find a picture, so I'm going to take the explanation and see if I can find a picture that shows what she's trying to explain. So that we're on the same page at least haha.

In other news, the mill I used to work at that filed bankruptcy in September and shut down in October has now officially been bought and is hoping to reopen for September. That's nearly one whole year of being shut down and 300 people out of work. That's absolutely insane. Apparently right now the government is giving people up to 50,000 dollars if you are a forestry worker that's out a job and has a mortgage etc etc. as well as proof that this has basically been your profession for your entire life (aka people who've been working in forestry for 20+ years). That's pretty wild though. I hope it works out though with the new owners, the town could use the uplift.

See article here:

My tongue is burning. I am going to go and eat some icecream.

I felt like I had something interesting to blog about, but apparently not. I am however pretty sure that my upstairs landlord is hording my mail. I don't think either Krystal or I have gotten mail for a week now?? And there's no way that can be right, maybe I would not get mail for a week, but Krystal gets mail like every friggen day. There's no way there's no mail for us. It's hidden somewhere I tell you. Bunch of crazies.

Bitch stole my look!

Wow. So I found the creepiest thing ever today on facebook. Some of you, actually most of you, may see the comment on your homepage notifications or whatevs. But serious to god this cannot go untold. I just about shit myself... So here goes.

I knew this girl named Kassandra when I was a kid. When she was 10 she moved away down south to Cranbrook. I hadn't heard from her until this whole facebook thing, and finally one day randomly found her and added her. Oddly enough, even though it's been years since we've seen eachother, there just isn't too much to say.

However today she posted 4 albums of pictures. So me in my boredom since Dario is now sleeping (ps he's home and I am SO FRIGGEN HAPPY! :D) decided to look at these albums... So check this out... I am creeped the fuck out.




So uhh, that bitch in the red. That ain't me. But I just about shit myself because I was worried I got really drunk or something and didn't remember this entire event. But uhm, does that look like me or what? Seriously, that chick could be my sister. It's really really creepy!


She's a little skinnier than I... but man, her jaw! And the teeth! AND THE FOREHEAD! Like I donno man it's weird. BUT it's only when she's wearing sunglasses. Because I saw her without sunglasses, and nothing alike, but when you cover up that chicks eyes, I swear if you put us side by side in a pair of sunglasses.... we would look related. Almost to the point where it's identical.

I called Krystal to my room to check it out. I'm like 'dude, who is this?' and she's like 'uhm, are you shitting me? It's you.' And I'm just like 'no man, this chick looks friggen identical to me though! EVEN I THOUGHT IT WAS ME AT FIRST!' and she was like 'OH MY GOD! SHE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE YOU!'

I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy. But it's weirding me out either way. The way she's walking in the pictures, its like... you take me, put me in those clothes, put longer hair on me and sunglasses, and catch some candids, and you get that. Again, maybe I'm crazy, who knows.

PS Dario brought me home the most amazing blanket. I am going to take a picture, I are in lurve with it. I won't put it up today, maybe Monday or something! But I show you laterrrr :)
