11:55 am - A message from my friend Tami...
|
"Amy, wish all your non coupled friends a happy single awareness day, and remind them they don't really want a bear with a satin heart stitched to its paws saying 'i love you beary much'."
Thought I would pass this message on as it made me laugh. I lover her sense of humor.

Ok so habitat for humanity has all single volunteers around valentines day to encourage match making during building a house.
A wealthy Canadian went to Pakistan to buy a new kidney from a poor man in debt. And had his surgery in Pakistan.
There is a third man (Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband) that came forward claiming to be the father of poor Anna Nichole's baby.
The news is getting weirder and weirder everyday.

8:21 pm - being me
|
I just sped past the police station with no seat belt on!
I just BarB-Qed chicken breasts with no coat on in the middle of January.
I can do what ever I want, when ever I want. (provided I am able to work 4 days a week)
I will be in Cuba in 17 days and am suddenly scared of UV rays.
These things for some reason amused me this evening.
This must be one messed up world if its this mild when we r supposed to get snow storms!
current mood:  creative

10:28 pm - "I was sittin', waitin', wishin'..."
|
I was asleep last night and dreaming about silly things, and I am not quite sure if I was half awake or asleep, but anyway I dreamed that my dad whispered in my ear "Amy, I love you". I swear it was his voice and he whispered it. I was instantly awake and freaked right out. I sat up and looked around but there was no ghost to see or whatever you would expect, just me in bed wondering what just happened. My heart was pounding, and I was wondering if he was really trying to communicate with me, or if it was just a dream....
I am always wondering what if he is here..., can he see me?, did he help me just avoid hitting that deer?.... I want to see him, talk to him, touch him. I miss him so much.
This whole dying thing really is awful, and I feel so sorry for my Grandma Eunice. She just has it really bad, loosing her soul mate and a son in less than a year. I was over there tonight, and the verse she chose for the tribune this christmas is just the saddest one on the page. I told her that and she said, "Well it may be the saddest, but it doesn't even describe how I feel right now." I guess she is right. Of course typical me, I was trying to choose the happiest and downplay the way I truly feel...
current mood:  contemplative

I miss my dad.
I miss him so much today. I miss his enthusiasm, his phone calls at 7am on my day off for a stupid question, his organizational skills, his laugh. I miss him so much today.
Its not fair and I am pissed off at whoever thought it was a good idea to take him from earth on July 25, 2006. I didn't say goodbye, or i love you, or see ya in long while hopefully, or any of the awkward things you say to someone who is about to die. Seriously, I just lost grandpa on Christmas day. As if that wasn't bad enough, taking someone so important to me so soon was apparently necessary.
I try to think of all those positive things like an angel needed a helper and his work on earth was done here but i think its all bullshit. I'd like the review this master plan God has.
I am fucking pissed off and now I personally know why some people say holidays suck!
I needed to vent cause me head was gonna explode with all these negative thoughts.

I am sad today. Its not a happy day for me.
My co-worker Amanda sugared my eye brows I have been growing out
I got my hair cut, thinned out, dyed, and styled. Hayley did a good job.
I bought clearance stuff I didn't need at Zellers and capris at Garage.
Gonna go out with Deaner for a bite to eat and maybe a strawberry drink of some sort.

Sheri and I watched Jersey Girl and had Yogen Fruz. Very yummy.
Sheri as you walked out my door and we discussed the lightness of the rain a baby toad jumped into my apartment! I was paralyzed with fear until I realized the size of it (size of a quarter) compared to the size of me. It took me 10 minutes to trap it under a bowl, of course I took a pic of it on my wall. I safely brought it outside to my wet backyard so it could go home. It can only stay the night if it chips in on my rent and he refused. I named him Jaseolomew. (long story about the name)

10:42 pm - Canada Day 2006
|
This weekend was complete with: trip to Port, beach, campfire, visit to ER to flush eye and anesthetize eyeball with staining yellow drops, swimming with Holly, b-day dinner for prego Emily, cherry picking, beach, and steak dinner.
Pretty good times and not a lot of rain.

We went to see the Trews last night and they were awesome. I feel like every time I see them they get better. They put on an awesome live show. I older dude in front of me was very nice and kept turning around to tell me that the show was "cookin!" as if I couldn't see it for myself :)
Thankfully Nat was able to fill us in on some details about our night out to Stella a while back. Many more things happened than i had remembered and some things others may not wish to remember! ;)
Apparently Luke's roommate walked in on me peeing while Nat was doing her hair (???) but I have no recollection of this...
My goal is to use up 2 packages of frozen spinach and a bag of coconut this weekend just to get these things my mom didn't want out of my freezer. I think the coconut may be going into my organics box but I got a yummy sounding receipe off of Kraft.com for the spinach.

I walked some laps the other day at the Y after my cardio and I saw this old man stretching out of the corner of my eye. Next thing I know he is power walking faster than Mrs. Tonini in grade 9 gym and passing me. I for some reason get all competitive and think there is no way the 60 yr old man is gonna pass me so I start power walking too. We were neck and neck for a quarter of a lap until I realized he would notice what I was doing and perhaps it was wrong of me to challenge a senior. Is it bad that I did that?

I just got in from Cayo coco and had the best time ever. Every trip we meet even cooler people and manage to have even more fun. I drank soooo incredibly much and ate a lot even though I didn't like the food that much. (Jay loved it)
The beach was spectacular with crystal blue water as far as the eye can see. Beautiful soft white sand and NO BUGS! However there were jelly fish. Fortunately no stings and a cool pic.
We took 3 disp. cameras of film and I already got them developed. I managed to look pretty drunk in a few.
We met the absolute best bartender by far, Liber. It wasn't only us that agreed but all of the people that hung out in his small upper bar overlooking the lagoon. Again I have many pics of him too.
I really liked Cuba and would definitely go back.
I brought back and whole box of cigars and 2 bottle of rum and worried until I made it through customs. Luckily we were in terminal 1 (weird) and international flights took precedence so my .5L over in alcohol was not a priority or my stolen cigars I bought off the lifeguard. (Stolen by his brother who hand rolls them in the factory) This is big business there. I learned so much in such a little time.
I do have a tan but once i got to Canada I realized it wasn't as dark as I thought it was. I was sun smart with Umbrelle 30 all of the time.
We went on a drive your own speed boat and snorkel trip. It was very cool and I am slowly getting over my fear of fish 1 trip at a time.
I have to work in the morning. Goodnight.

6:29 pm - 3 hard years for what?
|
I was viewing my hotmail account and my eyes wandered to the advertising which I usually ignore and this is what I saw:
College Degree in 8 days
Convert your earned experience into a Verifiable University Degree from Almeda University. Accredited by The Association for Online Academic Excellence (AOAEx). The evaluation is free. Jump start your career today.
3 years of school when I could have done it in 8 days! Holy shit was I ever fooled by Niagara College.

I bought an mp3 player today and I love it!
I was in Best Buy for 10 minutes looking confused and no one even asked me if i needed help but they all walked right by me. I got pissed and didn't want to interrupt the employees conversation about Brock so I decided to leave. On my way out I asked the security door man if the employees are supposed to help the customers and he said yes. I asked why no one helped me, he looked at his watch and the screen (it was 5:15) and said, "they must of all gone home." Then he said, "what I mean is we have 1 knowledgeable employee in that department but she is with a customer so u need to shadow her." I was not about to waste more time following around some girl like a puppy. I told him I would just go somewhere else. Usually when I go there someone helps me right away and they are great.
I then went to Future shop and a very cute Colin really helped me I made a purchase.
I joined the Y tonight. I didn't have to pay the intro fee because I am stupid ass and kept calling it a "non-refundable donation". The lady corrected me each time and then asked me if I was a member a long time ago cause thats what it used to be called. Anyway I told her I was, cause I was, and she said I probably paid it then and didn't make me pay it today. I save 100 bucks for screwing up my words!
It's official, Jay and I are going some where hot again!!! Leaving Feb 18 or 19. I am excited.
I am off to make a lunch and take a shower...

9:24 pm - Happy New Year!
|
New Years was a pretty good time. I kept the drinking to a minimum and woke up only tired which I can deal with. I had people over and it was good cheap fun. I totally underestimated the amount of veggies Chris could eat and over estimated the number of shots people would do. I guess I am learning to be a party host.
Highlights were Deaner's blanket dance, Chris being Chris, Wags and CHris dancing, and me doing "the face" in all background shots, and taking what felt like a 1/2 hour to return Kelly's text message.
We did the traditional go out for breakfast thing and now i am chillin doing laundry. Thats about it. One more day off then back to work.
current mood:  mellow

I am nearing the end of the most stressful month of my life. I know a lot of bad things haven't gone on in my life and for that I am grateful. Between the recent death of my grandfather, unorganized moving of my parents to separate residences, Jay's grandmothers open heart surgery, and his uncle Ed undergoing chemo I will be very happy to leave December'05 behind. Every time we get together for a meal we used to toast to trivial things but now we toast to HEALTH cause without it you don't get very far.
I slept at my grandmothers house tues and wed night but I use the term "slept" loosely. Basically I laid on her couch while she barely slept. Her house is very old and the clocks make noise and the furnace sounds like a train... I left her alone last night with a little bit of guilt but she needs to start sometime everyone kept saying. She is such a strong woman and I always knew that but now I have clearly seen it.
At the funeral we sang Silent Night because that was my grandfathers favorite song and I guess it was the only song he would EVER sing in church. Apparently he would sing it so loud that everyone in the congregation could hear him and it was very embarrassing for his 3 sons. I thought that was pretty funny.
My vacation has gone by very quickly and it seems like I haven't even enjoyed any of my time off except for the sleep over.

Merry Christmas everybody!
I can watch a burning yule log on 6 channels right now! I am the luckiest.
Last night we went to Jay and Emily's for a party and it was a snapshot from a christmas movie with Mrs. Fletcher on piano and Jays' boss' wife on Violin. It was beautiful to listen to but out of the ordinary for me. They are so friendly and kind every single one of their neighbors loves them.
I am making 2 diabetic pies and heading to Jay's grandmothers this afternoon for a turkey dinner. Due to the flu my family x-mas has been postponed however it wasn't going to be that exciting anyway.
My brother gave me a cool mirror for x-mas however it got kinda broken from the store to the house. I opened it and then spent an half hour gluing it. It was priceless and you can't even tell i fixed it.

Man I hate slow drivers and walkers. Seems like i am always in fast forward these days.
"After this no more making hooch in here and no more in your room!" I actually said this line today. While I was driving home I reflected on it and i must say it was clever at the time!
"I'm gonna call you in 2 days and tell u how u are." x 10 hahaha this also made me laugh today. Deaner I saw your dad at CIBC an hour ago.

I have a had a super stressful and sleepless week. For some reason my body can't relax at night and mind is just racing!
Thursday night Jay wanted to go to the Keg for dinner for his b-day despite the bad weather so we went. Excellent food!
Friday night was my staff x-mas party and we had a great time. An excellent dinner at the Wildfire followed by a night of dancing at Stellas. I drank a lot and almost all of it was free. I really enjoyed the Stella music. Good times.
Sat was Jay's b-day and I rushed around to shop, prebowl, and x-mas dinner, then go out for Jay's b-day. I was very exhausted at the bar but luckily so was steve and he drove home around 1am. Deaner gave me a ride there and she is a good driver.
I am almost done the busiest weekend ever. I just have to go to the Manderin for dinner with Jay's family tonight.
3 more days of work then i have a week and a half off!
Yay!
