Oh This Is The End, My Only Friend, The End

2007-03-18T23:46:00.000-06:00

For lack of time to commit to this blog... I have to decided to let it go. It will stay be available but probably very rarely updated.

Just so you all know.

That is All

tehehe

2007-03-10T09:30:00.000-07:00

hehe found this on some totally random website. its amazing where clicking random things will take you.
i like the lollypop kids part.
hhe

im still shaking

2007-03-05T07:27:00.000-07:00

contrary to the sun's opinion, Meatloaf was freaking awesome. I mean the dude is almost 60 and he sings almost as good as he did 30 years ago! The energy inside that building last night made my insides shake. I could barely feel my cell phone vibrating! While i was not overly fond of his little tart wanna be, aspen miller, i admit she's a great singer, but what was with the outfits? and the bat wings? oh my oh my.

meat sang all my favorite songs except 'for crying outloud' and 'heaven can wait' which is ok as the concert was well over 3hrs from the time Marion Raven took the stage till the end of the encore...

Speaking of Marion Raven, ppl, she kicks it. She's awesome, and she's norwegian so that made it even better. Which reminds to find one of them songs she sang last night. It brought tears to my eyes. She went to the keyboard and said something about half her album being about her ex boyfriend then started singing the song 'for you i'd die' man oh man. stupid boys.

All in all i am very glad I went. I will dream about that night for along time. It was fanfreakingtastic.

I'm so excited! and I just can't hide it!

2007-03-04T07:08:00.000-07:00

Countdown to Meatloaf
12hrs and 21 minutes till show time!
yeah no im not excited at all..
RIIIIGHT
oh my god what am i gonna wear!?!?!??!?!??!

i found out yesterday in the paper that the whole concert is just songs from the bat out of hell trilogy which is FREAKING AWESOME... b/c now i really didn't need to buy that other meatloaf CD... oh well.. its got cher on it.

do dodododo

that is all for now

'On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?'

2007-03-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

It was a hot summer night
and the beach was burning.
There was fog crawling over the sand.
When I listen to your heart
I hear the whole world turning.
I see the shooting stars falling
through your trembling hands.

oh i can't wait to hear meatloaf sing that!
or anything else! only 3 more sleeps! im so excited

oh my goodness guess what lil miss picky ate!?!?

2007-02-27T21:39:00.000-07:00

i had a lunch date today. i ate red peppers AND feta! i never eat things like that. I was supposed to go to a thai resturaunt for lunch but it was closed.

oh yeah. I am also single. Brian broke up with me. bastard. but its all good. im glad, very glad. it never would have work. good thing we figured that out peacefully and now instead of after being married for a few years

that is all for now

I think I figured out what I am gonna wear... my meatloaf T and jeans... probably just runners. I wish it was summer b/c flip flops would totally come out.
Hopefully it is isn't too cold and i can just wear a hoodie instead of a jacket. But my luck, Mar 4 will be FREAKING COLD!!!

7 more days till testing at GMCC.

16.5 hrs till i gotta be back at work.

So yesterday was a stat holiday. I didn't actually think they'd call me in to work as I had just come off of 6 evenings. WELL... I got that phone call to come in and finish the evening shift... Guess how much money I made an hour yesterday??? 38.13$!!!! stupidly crazy. Admin didn't really want to approve me working OT but there was no one else to come in... MUAHAHAHAHA
stat pay and then OT... yup yesterday was a good day to be working for me.

teheheh

2007-02-15T12:55:00.000-07:00

i really haven't got much to say. ppl have been dying at work left right and center. this virus we have going around is just too much for them. 4 in 2 weeks. i don't think anyone else is gonna go anytime really soon, but you never know.. they are old... very old...

that is all

Do a little dance...

2007-02-12T13:58:00.000-07:00

20 more days until MEATLOAF!!!
am i excited? naw. Im like SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!
so yeah.
anyways S- yeah i do read your blog. Like alot. Nice to know what old friends are up to every once in while. Stupid grade school bullshit is in the past. You guys were weird. But im over that whole loyalty to the first person who talked to you crap.
Testing for school is 15days. How many classes will you have to upgrade? hehe It looks like its gonna take me 3 semesters to upgrade. 3 classes per semester. Very sad. Very very sad.

"That is all"

just b/c i am mean

2007-02-11T19:11:00.001-07:00

if i don't like you, i shall be removing your comments... just so ya'll know

Anti-Valentine's Day

2007-02-10T20:38:00.000-07:00

K so valentine's day really sucks. Yes I am well aware I have Brian, BUT where is Brian? Hmmm I think he is on the other side of the province, working. Im feeling kinda odd. I finally got a fantastic xmas present from him (promise diamond to be part of the engagement ring). but now it seems like i keep questioning, 'do i really want this?' I know i want to get married and stuff, but do i want to marry him. I've been bugging him for 5 years. Im sure he'd be relieved if we broke up, yet again. I dunno. Can't seem to talk to him about it anymore.
i shall wear my diamond until we do talk... until something changes.
but valentines day still sucks.

spiffy new phone

2007-02-08T08:56:00.000-07:00

i got myself a new cell phone. Its pink! heheh i love it. I will love it more when I can actually download ringtones. having technical issues... have been one the phone for about 20minutes.... finally got transferd to the data support ppl. We shall see how that goes. Currently I am listening to information in French. i have NO idea what they are saying. damn french ppl
but yeah, this is my phone. did i mention its pink??? tis not a sprint phone of course but bell. I am canadian... not a silly american

is it really time to go home?

2007-02-07T07:40:00.000-07:00

well i have been in the city for it seems like for ever. well since friday. and what have i done with myself? hmm one movie (pans labyrinth ) one totally awesome shower (of course there were other showers this week but they can't compare to that totally awesome one) one day of cross country skiing, one day of down hill skiing, one time falling on the hill, one time driving, one totally cool birthday supper, one totally cool welcome home party, one totally cool finishing off the birthday party, one really really cute baby who looks just like her uncle, and i think maybe only one argument with dad.
i think that all in all it was an ok week.
supposedly i go home today. back to work tonight. we shall see how many ppl have died this week at work. i know of one already. could be 2 or 3 by the time i get back tho. could be interesting.

Countdown to Meatloaf

2007-02-04T18:54:00.000-07:00

28 days and 35 minutes until Meatloaf... Im sooo excited!!!!
/me does a little dance!!!

anyways that is all for now

not quite 24hrs

2007-02-02T17:25:00.000-07:00

why oh why do i do these things to myself??? I have been up since 10pm last night. didn't get a whole heck of a lot of sleep during the day yesterday and zilch the day before work.... i think its about 7hrs of sleep since 11am Wednesday. Stupid night shifts. Stupid plans in the city (no offense Bri) it seems that when ever i come to the city after working a night it don't sleep for like some times upwards of 30hrs. Tis very sad I must say. my shift working father is kinda rather shocked that i am still up.... he's like, i can tell you are exhausted! you need sleep! you are starting to change colour! I have actually changed to a really sad shade of white from lack of sleep. also the pain in my joints from lack of sleep is probably contributing to that... my oh my
well hopefully i can make plans for LATE tonight.. hehe get a couple hours sleep... if only supper would hurry up and get cooked!

oh my oh my

2007-01-31T15:02:00.000-07:00

I have appointments, I have open houses, I have parties, and I have a day ski trip. Oi oi oi.
This correspondence thing is not going well. Failed the first module. Should really find out about having to pay back that grant.
Anyways I go skiing on sunday. First time in like 7 years. Oh god... If I don't write another post for a long time, I either killed myself skiing or am severely injured.
As for parties... an old roommate is moving back to Edmonton. Party for him on Saturday night. Birthday party for Bri is the same night! good thing they are both on jasper. too bad they are 15 blocks apart :(
Open house at GMCC... could i get really get into nursing? I guess we find out soon. Appointment at Concordia about upgrading... Can I really upgrade in a strictly christian environment? Oi

oooh i finally found a pic close to gramma wedding dress. which shall be the basis for my own wedding dress... someday....

picture this one white and floor length... but that sooo close to what her dress was...

right, that's it

2007-01-26T23:34:00.000-07:00

well this is just here so that ppl can't say i don't update... don't really have anything much to say.
I need happy pills this week. I should really look into that.
just for one week a month... that is all.

hopefully have an action packed weekend next weekend. open house at GMCC on saturday, bri's birthday celebrations saturday night, skiing on sunday. sleep for 3days. then work wednesday at 11pm yay!

that is all

I gots new glasses

2007-01-23T17:12:00.000-07:00

so here are before and after pics...
the black frames are the before
the half frames are the after
i rather like them...

Yawn

2007-01-22T03:48:00.000-07:00

After four weeks of working nights I finally have my first day shift today. And of course I have to be up in 2hrs and I sure can't sleep. I tried I really did. First at about 9am, (got off work at 8am), laid their for an hour, nothing. Went over to Squairs for lunch. Tried again at about 1230pm. Wasn't gonna happen. Got a few minutes on the way home from gospel meeting this afternoon but it was a very bumpy nap. Stupid nights. A co-worker was looking at the schedule and said, You must be a sucker for punishment. At least going to an evening after nights isn't too bad. But a day right after, man oh man.

Anyways. At least the weather hasn't been too bad and no major major incidents at work. Been kinda nice that I have been able to avoid the higher ups. Things just are not going very well, we are so short and people are cranky, residents are cranky. Lots of little things are getting missed. Quite frankly I am getting kinda tired of constantly having to clean up coffee stains in the staff room b/c ppl can't grab a paper towel and wipe up their spill.

I ordered new glasses at the Wal-Mart on Friday. Time to get away from the black frames. Will post a pic when I have them. Hopefully they are ready on Tuesday. B/C i don't really wanna go back again later this week when I don't have time. Have an ultra sound tomorrow for my arm. Maybe this simple test will be able to find out with the EMG studies didn't.

I think I should eat and go back to bed for a couple hours seeing as how i work in 3hrs. Good thing its only a short shift. I will not be staying even if they ask me. I don't have the freaking energy.

Anyways Good luck to G and her jury duty today!

Meatloaf 2...

2007-01-17T07:58:00.000-07:00

Well I picked up my Meatloaf ticket the other day!! I was sooo excited!! You have like NO idea! Like I said earlier it was stupidly expensive but boy am I looking forward to it. I got like Gold club seats. yay me! Its not the greatest pic but ya get the gist of it. Anyways must finish paying bills. YAY me!

Meatloaf is coming to edmonton!!!!

2007-01-10T17:50:00.000-07:00

I have always said that if Meatloaf came to Alberta that I would go! Now Meatloaf is coming to Edmonton!!! YAY!!!! March 4 cannot come soon enough. I bought my ticket today. Stupidly expensive of course, but dude, its Meat! And it’s a really good seat too. Sect 102, Row 2! I mean other than floor seats, could you get any better??
Anyways I got off work at 8am and man I need to sleep but I am WAY too excited. So Im gonna watch Rocky Horror Picture Show and Wayne’s World. Two movies that Meatloaf had small parts in. Oooh Meatloaf, I only know 3 of your many albums, but you are my hero.
Until laters

I apologize

2007-01-08T08:29:00.000-07:00

So terribly sorry I haven't written in forever. I've been sick and working way too much. So G wanted to hear about this diamond.

Brian, who've I've known for about 5 and half years, who've I dated several times over these 5 and half years, who've I've loved and hated repeatedly, gave me a promise diamond for Christmas. We probably won't be getting married until Im close to being finished nursing school (if I get my butt in gear and finish biology before June!! and of course get into nursing school)
The diamond came on a necklace, not in the form of a ring as one would think. His reasoning behind this is that the diamond will be added to 2 others in a 3 stone setting engagement ring. Kinda funny tho that I told him years ago that if he bought my ring at Wal-Mart, that would be ok. But then this fall I showed him the ring I like at Tiffany's and well... definitely not the same ring but oh my god the man is nuts.

So G, that is the story of the diamond....

Back to more exciting news from hickville. Its CCCCCOOOOOLLLLLDDDDDD. The wind last night got soo bad that it knocked out power for about 2.5hrs. Man it was cold in my house.
The sound of the wind rattling the plastic on my windows just about drove me nuts. I packed a little bag and was gonna run over (get carried by the wind over) to my grammas. I don't do power outtages in the middle of winter very well. Or the wind shaking my house so badly that the flame of my candle was going absolutely nuts. And apparently this isn't the worst its gonna get. I think I shall be hiding in grammas basement tonight, where if the power goes out, there is a wood stove that can be lighted.

Anyways Im going to crawl back into my bed and try to relieve this sinus pressure some how. So much pain and pressure. It feels like my head is going to explode.

That’s all for now

coming soon....

2006-12-26T06:35:00.000-07:00

i swear i will update soon... probably later today.. just not now.... but soon.

2006-12-11T22:27:00.000-07:00

oh my god i think i am in love.!!! eric mabius from 'ugly betty.'
i swear the show has subliminal messages to make a girl think hes the most gorgeous man in the world. OOH my god his eyes. I dunno but all of sudden today i was like DUDE! and inlove.

well back in the real world. Brian (the bastard argh) tells me its good that i have finally learned to cook eggs b/c some one has to make breakfast on sunday mornings. I was like uh? wtf. He better start meaning these things and buck up and give me my damn ring i've been waiting for for years. we've been together off and on since summer 2001. when he's around, he makes me happy. when he's not around i want to strangle him for not being here.

anyways. school is going. i think too? not much is new... working lots and lots. ppl are passing, getting sick, ya know the usual at the nursing home.
staff party saturday night. that was fun. apparently i had more fun that i thought. teheh

brrrrrrrrrr

2006-11-27T12:29:00.000-07:00

Its cold. Well that is an understatment. Its FUCKING cold. Windchill of -34, and dropping. Why isn't my new winter coat here yet????? WHY WHY WHY???? probably b/c I only ordered it from the Sears Catalouge on Friday. That could be why. And I will have 2 new movies by Wednesday, hopefully. Paying 13$ for super priority shipping had better pay off. Make that 14$. I am gonna be broke again soon. Evil.
Oh well but I will be good and warm!!! YAY.
Speaking of warm, Im gonna crawl back into bed again. Had physio this morning. Also saw the OT at the hospital too. I feel bad I didn't mean to swear at her. But she really touched a bad spot on my arm. it just came out. I'll have to apologize on wednesday when i see her again.
Oh yeah, bed.

Thats all folks

Wow

2006-11-22T21:14:00.000-07:00

I so don't know how people go back to school after several years of not being there. holy crap. Bio is freaking hard. and considering i didn't take any bio in high school except what they teach in science 10, double whammy.

also BRRR to the freaking weather! where does it get off snowing in the middle november?? and being 20 below?? like WTF?!?!?!?! broke out the super long underwear today. mmm fleecy long johns. got the walk shoveled myself b.c the snow isn't packed down yet. save myself the $10 of getting one of grammas neighbor boy's to come over. I shouldn't be shoveling anyways. damn arm issues.

Anyways. work is fun.. really it is. At least my partner tomorrow night is my friend and not one of the 'old bags'... i like them all but i just never get to work with this girl. yay for her babysitter being sick!

i think its darn near bed time. even tho i dont work til 3pm tomorrow. so tired.

evil university/college calendars

2006-11-21T09:21:00.000-07:00

well who knew that a 'Group C' course was a science? where in these online calendars do they tell you where to find them? AND why don't they just say you need THREE sciences and not just two like they are letting on???? AND why do they make it so hard for people who barely made it thru high school b/c of circumstances to get back in to school???

Well that was my rant for the day.

I may have decided not to be an RN right away. Unless there is some way around retaking high school. i mean yeah i graduated. i did, i got the stupid peice of paper to prove it. but i didn't matriculate except in band and social. i started chemistry 30 but i had just moved AGAIN for like the 6th time. i redid alot of courses b/c i moved in the middle of the year twice. anyways.
Maybe the LPN program, tho is still have to upgrade, would be easier. and then take the RN accelerated track for LPN's a couple years after being done that. who knows?

off i go today to get the funding for school. i really hope i have all the paper work filled out. im outta here now. must shower and look pretty and bat my eyes at these damn men who have the power to say no to the money.

I suppose I should do some updating

2006-11-08T11:31:00.000-07:00

Well I have fianlly decided what to do with my life. OH MY GOD!!!
I am about to embark on a major undertaking of school. I am going to be a nurse. And not just any nurse, but SUPER nurse, I mean uhm, an RN. BUT... (there is always a but)
I must upgrade alot of high school again. I knew I had to take Bio and Chem 30, then I found out I had to take English 30-1(English 30's new name). I am fairly sure I can get all the funding, but I dunno how doing school full time on-line and working full time is gonna work?!?!??

Other than the snow, not much else is exciting. I don't think. Work is still work. My house is still messy, tho I MUST clean before Saturday. My dad is coming down and him and gramma are gonna be putting plastic on my windows so I don't freeze this winter and some how closing the windows in the very scary basement.

well im outta here... must get ready for work!

hero's meets clerks...

2006-11-08T11:29:00.000-07:00

this is rather entertaining... thanks madcatx for posting the link in the channel

http://www.storyhour.org/Pictures/Flash/heroes.swf

well that was a strange week

2006-10-27T00:09:00.000-06:00

I shall start last wednesday/thursday ish .
I called my dad to talk to him about this offer we have on a house here in town. He says "I got something to tell you, I just wanted to keep you updated" So Im thinking, ok who died? "I have moved out, Arlee and I are not together any more." Initial reaction was WHAT THE HELL??? and I hung up. I was like after 16yrs of trying to break them up, it finally freaking worked.
Then I got shallow and was thinking, the bastard, screwing us outta the good family functions.
Then I was like evil wench drove him out! Apparently it wasn't even a marriage anymore. Anyone could see that.
So THEN i started what was to become a 7day scretch at work. I am very tired. I got called in on Tuesday b/c a few ppl went home sick or called in sick. Stupid flu that is going around. We have some very cranky residents. It might be the weather, it might be the beginnings of a major flu outbreak. Who knows.
Today I got a blast from the past. This guy that dad (Mr C, we shall call him) used to work with, his stepfather (Mr R) passed away a couple of days ago. Gramma was over at Mrs R's with lunch today and Mrs C and her son, who is just a measly 3days older than me, with who I used to have joint birthday parties with, were there. Gramma mentioned that I was living in town and in fact, just working across the street, so I was asked to go there after work. It was totally surreal. I haven't seen this kid since we were 8 or 9. But hey, we're still the height! And i feel like a dork b.c that is exactly what i said.
I had a good visit with Mrs C. My old hairdresser was there too. I had to ask Gramma the connection there and apparently Mr R was her uncle. Anyways I am kinda looking forward to going to this funeral so i can see just how tall Mr C really is. Cus he was very tall when I was little...
Maybe more next week.

no title today

2006-10-15T23:34:00.000-06:00

Ok Miss Meridith finally made up her mind. now hopefully mcdreamy doesn't end up being an ass. I need a mcdreamy but all the drs that work in this town are married or really old. argh. tho the one dr is looking for a nanny... hehe
anyways. i am getting realy frustrated with work. we are trying our damnedest to get to the ppl as quickly as we can but when we are soo short staffed it just doesn't work. residents who aren't supposed to be moving them selves from the wheelchair to the bed/easy chair/bathroom are doing just that. ppl are cranky with each other, some staff are getting on other staff's nerves. appparently typical LTC enviroment situation.
well lets see, socially my life kinda sucks too. no bf, no boy toy, no nothing. damn it i need prospects!!!
im seriously bored atm... so im leaving the puter

Yay for birthdays

2006-10-14T00:06:00.000-06:00

today i finally got my birthday cake... i haven't eaten yet.. maybe later tonight.. maybe tomorrow for breakfast. gramma betty made it... it looks ok except for the walnuts on it. those will have to be removed.
work is still going ok. we've had 5 die since i started at the beginning of september. i think we are gonna loose a 6th soon. some is just old age, some is diseases like parkinsons, some is broken heart.
well sadly i am absolutely frozen so i am going to bed now....

One More Day

2006-10-10T16:09:00.000-06:00

Well thanksgiving was fun. Whole dang family was there this time. there was 31 of us all together. Aunts, uncles, cousins, cousins new/future spouses. was craziness. My grampa got a little happy and started cleaning out his closet. LITERALLY. he gave my bro and my cousin (who are close to the same age) a couple jackets and some weird old hats. grampa had this pinkish ski suit and my aunt had one that matched it so they gave that to dustin and nicole (who are brother and sister). They plan on going snowboarding or skiing in their very cool retro suits. It was SOOO funny.
I didn't get no turkey! i am little disappointed. we had chinese from the ling nan. Gramma says next year we are going there for supper.. Much easier on her. I agree. Anyways
I got a decent haul for birthday presents. dad got me a pair of peach coloured scrubs from marks, arlee got me a book and a calender. My sisters got me socks, candles and a bath soak. Gramma took me shopping yesterday and i got a cute tweed blazer from rickis and pair of jeans. But i took the jeans back and got pants to go with the jacket instead.
I bought myself some pretty stuff too.
I got 2 more sets of scrubs. ON SALE!! $5 a peice for 3 peices and then one peice was 20$ but thats ok. I got a lapel watch with my name engraved. a shirt to go with the jacket and some other misc items. I think I faired very well.
I went and saw Trailer Park Boys The Movie. it was FUCKING awesome. Im gonna have to get it on DVD when it comes out. I dont' want to spoil the ending for anyone but julian really is a sweet guy.
So i gotta work tonight instead of tomorrow, which is totally ok means i don't really have to work for my birthday. I work 11-7 so i will be home to sing myself happy birthday at 8:04am.
I just realized that i gotta get to the bank before it closes to deposit my GST!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHH

teheheheh

2006-10-07T23:45:00.000-06:00

k this is really cute... i borrowed from someone

hmmm

2006-10-06T10:26:00.000-06:00

Man I gotta stop watching Kevin Smith movies. Clerks 2 was a really good movie until the end!! that was really ghey. Seriously!!! I am not impressed. the song selection was good tho. Misery-Soul Asylum.
So G- the lesbian thing... can we wait to see how things go AGAIN with Brian? Might be the slight chance we run into each other in the city. Its driving me crazy that i know i deserve better but I don't want better. And like why do we keep getting drawn back together? we have a fight, don't talk for a couple months and then like hook up when we see each other and then be all lovey dovey for awhile and then fight again. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So other than that.
Work is good. Social life sucks. Cell phone isn't working. Either gotta get a new one or maybe dad has one kicking around the house. Well if i have to buy a new phone it'll be between 100-200$. Im not getting anything fancy. not that my current one is that fancy. i only got it b/c it had a cam and had flashing LED's and was free.
So i head off to the city on sunday for 3 days.

day one 2hr greyhound bus ride, hopefully new phone, a combined ETS/SCT bus ride, thanksgiving dinner, birthday cards
day two shopping with gramma b/c its my birthday on wednesday, new phone if one isn't found on day one, hopefully meeting up with ppl
day three SCT/ETS bus ride, 2hr greyhound bus ride.

Well that is my exciting life. I have 2 evening shifts before i leave. tonight and tomorrow night. speaking of which, i suppose i should refigure out my hours now that scheduling thru in a night shift on me next week! man a monday night and i work at midnight!! but at least im off at 7am.

Until later

what the hell

2006-10-04T06:21:00.000-06:00

so yesterday really sucked. I went to the dr and that was all fine and dandy. my spots aren't contagious and they are going away!! yay!
but then my phone died. it won't charge.
i ran into my bed buddy type deal guy, who has been out of town for 2 months. he hasn't let me know he's back yet. He was with another girl that wasn't his sister, but i have sneaking suspusion that it was his ex from Red Deer.
then the guy i met at the wedding the weekend before last emails me and says that he has time to go out with me this weekend b/c his GIRLFRIEND is going back to saskatchewan!!!

My first dead body

2006-09-28T15:21:00.000-06:00

Well today we had a resident die. My work partner and I went to turn her in bed and the nurse came running down the hall to stop us.
We watched as they the other ladies at work washed and shrouded her. It was kinda creepy as her eyes wouldn't stay shut.
thats all for now

My New Cousins

2006-09-24T23:04:00.000-06:00

So I went to my stepdads nephew's wedding. I met all these new relations. It was lots of fun! The dancing to Justin Timberlake, (Jennifer I still can't believe you dragged me out for that!!!), the drinking, the craziness of finding out that someone you were in cadets with is now your cousin(in law)!

this is my dress... Yay Dupie for picking it!

So this is the new family I got. John is my stepdad. Raymond is John's brother. Joyce is his wife. Steven and Richard are Raymond and Joyce's sons. Steven got married to Lee yesterday. Richard married Jennifer Evans last year the week before my mom married John.
So mom pointed out Jennifer to me and i was like do you know what her last name used to be? so mom goes and finds out, comes back and tells me. I was like holy shit. i was in cadets with her like 10years ago.

I was introduced to the grooms side of the wedding party only pretty much. Tho i did briefly talk to the maid of honor about her feet. I was getting mom to take a pic of me and the single groomsman jumped in the picture! Turns out he is the CO of an air cadet squadron and works for prairie region. and since just me knows what that means unless ppl who read this were cadets... he's gotta a pretty cool job in my opinion. Jennifer kept telling me how much of great guy he is, adding 'not that we are trying to push him on you or anything' hehe.

so that was yesterday. New entry just for today next!

Scrubs

2006-09-17T19:36:00.000-06:00

Ooh i love scrubs. the tv show. its totally not as good as greys but its still good anyways. i wish peekvid would get more videos of greys and scubs. this is the saddest episode. My Screwup.
speaking of scrubs, i think i need to get more. I need to go to marks work wearhouse and get some lowrise scrub pants. apparently they are really good and like don't cause issues.
anyways. i am rather bored. i made key lime pie and hamburger helper.

LOL

i must vent

2006-09-15T11:24:00.000-06:00

K like seriously. Why must ppl in your life feel the need to do something for you? Especially when you have told them NO repeatedly!?!?!?!?
Came home last night to find everything in a new spot. I was warned that my house did get tidied up a bit, but well. This was a major reorganization. I spent this morning putting everything back where I want it to go. And this person has the audacity to wonder why I am pissed off at them!

Anyways. So work is actually starting to get to me. Last night one of the residents said to me, 'Im ready to go now,' and started crying. This person IS of sound mind. So I tell the nurse like Im supposed to, and the nurse looks at me like 'what am I supposed to about it?' That kinda ticked me off a bit b/c I don't if this person is still gonna be alive when I went to check on them later that night. I am not going to be overly impressed if they are not with us anymore today. Another resident keeps telling me 'I wish I was dead.' I ask the nurse/other staff if that was normal for them, No apparently for this person it isn't. Hmm well again, what do I do?

29 more days

2006-09-12T11:38:00.000-06:00

29 more days till Im a year away from being a quarter of a century old!!! Yeah I know, OK?

My first night on Evenings went really good. Apparently it isn't like that very much. We had close to full staff, which apparently doesn't happen very often. I think that Im going to like the staff and the residents, save for a few that are just cantakerous and mean.

I must apologize to Gina b/c last night I actually saw the nurse on duty do something other than dispense meds. Sorry G.

Anyways im off to watch Johnny Depp in 'the libertine'.... it looks good.. it better be good. I rented Good Night and Good Luck last night as well. It was actually very dull. :(

Thanks all for now.

oh my goodness

2006-09-09T15:43:00.000-06:00

Yesterday the landlords uncle came to install a new backdoor in my house. He was here for 12hrs. Today he has been here for 7hrs. STILL NOT DONE!!!!!!!!!! I came home and as soon as I got off my bike their freaking dog attacked me. I woulda smuckd the dog but (#&$@#(*!!!!! I want to eat and sleep and watch movies in peace and quiet. He is currently putting on the screen door. Then he has to put the mouldings around the door on both sides. Then replace the outside light fixture, then replace the bathroom light fixture. If he has to come back tomorrow I think I shall scream.

Anyways. Work was good today. I was on a different wing. There are only 2, which is nice. Nice to see different faces once in awhile. Monday I go on evenings for a week. Hopefully we aren't short like they were this week. this business of putting ppl to bed could be interesting.

So I go to cut off all my hair and I chicken out. I only got it thinned out. I have so much hair. Its so darn thick. Its still a pain in the ass so Im thinking Im just gonna leave it down and try to work with it instead of against it.

Well here's to 48hrs off all at the same time.

BLAH

2006-09-07T15:28:00.000-06:00

Well this is kinda exciting. I can apply for a rotation, pick up shifts so I can work full time hours at the new job which is totally awesome! YAY for me. Im gonna be a busy girl. Maybe instead of emergency medicine, I could take the Personal Care (Support) Aide course. Not really wanting to go in to nursing. I just dont' have the head for the science of it all. Probably should work some more.

K so my friend Gina, she has her own Dr McDreamy at one of her jobs. I don't think she's sleeping with him, but you never know... KIDDING!!! There won't be any McDreamy's at my job. The town drs are either older than dirt or married with children and just not that interesting to a chick like me :(

I must go change outta my scrubs and go get semi presentable and get my hair chopped off. I understand now why nursing type ppl like to keep their hair shorter. Might have before and after pictures to post later.

Montana-some highlights

2006-09-06T20:03:00.000-06:00

(warning sign) this is at THE great falls in great falls MT. I like the sign... Kinda like a OH SHIT sign. teheh

Chief Mountain. my ode to corb lund

supposedly this is a glacier... not much left. you gotta like look really close in that valley. they said on the sign at the veiw point to come back in a few years and see how much its moved. It probably won't even be there in 5 years.

This is the first pic in MT. its a rest stop on the highway. I had to pee. But i was too scared that the rattlesnakes were gonna come up the hole in the outhouse that i just waited til great falls. with flush toilets.... Oh yeah... Thats my dad being brave. silly man

The night we spent in Waterton at the Crandal Campground, it was pouring rain when we started to set up. I think its pretty ghetto, i mean who uses a poncho as a tarp these days???? and notice the orange binder twine LOL...
