quick update

hmm. haven't written here in a while. not a whole lot of exciting stuff going on lately. definitely up for a moncton trip relatively soon... maybe next saturday... hmm... something to think upon :P

so, i have fallen sooooo far behind in my class work... i had big plans to finish anatomy over the summer and that is looking fairly impossible. i haven't even wrote one test yet *blush* that means i'm gonna have to get the nose to the grindstone this week. it's the last day of july today. days seem to be all meshing together... i can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by...

gah. i hate working sundays. i really do. i have worked every single sunday since may. i told mom that i was thinking about taking today off and she flipped out the other day. god, you'd think i was asking for the world, not just a couple hours off.

i had a long talk with my mom last night. she just seems to be on edge so much lately. apparently that is all my fault. of course.

work schedule this week
sunday- 5-10
monday- 1-5
tues- 1-10
wed-
thurs-
fri- 1-5

so apparently arlene is coming home tomorrow. grampie has an appt at the med centre at 2 and her bus is coming in at... just a sec... i'll check... hmm well according to the new bus schedule you can't go from ontario to summerside anymore :S maybe i am misreading it. oh well, i'm sure someone knows the time she is coming in at...

currently taking a break from reading: can you keep a secret? by sophie kinsella; this is the first book i've read by her and everything that people have been saying about her is true... this book is excellent.. i'm so finishing it before i leave for work... heard some rumors that the boys are coming home at some point this summer... but who knows? we've heard that virtually every year that i can remember... sometimes they come... sometimes they don't.

currently listening to:

as is
- ani difranco

you can't hide behind social graces so don't try to be all touchy-feely cause you lied in my face of all places but i got no problem with that really what bugs me is that you believe what you're saying what bothers me is that you don't know how you feel what scares me is that while your telling me stories you actually believe that they are real and i've got no illusions about you guess what i never did when i said i'll take you i meant as is just give up and admit your an asshole you would be in some good company and i think you'd find that your friends would forgive you maybe i am just speaking for me cause when i look around i think this is good enough and i try to laugh at whatever life brings cause when i look down i just miss all the good stuff and when i look up i just trip over things and i've got no illusions about you guess what i never did when i said i'll take you i meant as is

today

such a rainy day. what a beautiful day for the parade :P aw well, haven't missed it ever i don't think so i'm not about to on account of rain!

the plan:

leave in 30 minutes for o'leary.

get gas.

gram daisy's to meet her and dad.

valerie's for parade at 1.

farm.

leave o'leary for sside at 3.

drop jess off at gen x for 4.

leave sside for o'leary at 8.

mike and nikki's housewarming... only slightly late :P

then... probably back to sside or the cottage... i have to work tomorrow it would save me a drive home and back if i just stay up west tonight.

at that rate i should probably go pack some clothes, etc. for the night.

so the car is great again. yay! went to ch'town with it last night with amanda and matt called when i was on my way home to ask me to go west for the night... so i did. spent the last of my money... swear to you, it was down to change, to put gas in the car so i could get home this afternoon!!!

we went out to the cottage to drop off the car battery (dad is putting it in the old tempest tonight, if it runs matt's gonna take it sometime this week) and ended up staying for a couple of hours. patrick and cody dropped by for a few minutes... almost an hour actually...

so i have to work tomorrow instead of friday. yay. actually it kind of makes me happy. saturday is the o'leary parade... i haven't missed it in 20 years i don't think :D so of course, i will be there this year. mike and nikki's housewarming is saturday night but i don't think i'll be able to take it in... unless... well i suppose i could go up to the parade at 1... drop jess off at work in sside at 6... drive back up to o'leary and go to the housewarming... and then leave in time to pick jess up at 10. i think SOMEONE should be there from our family... sigh. the only problem with that it that it has to be me on account of everyone else is working... everything seems so complicated for some reason. dad is spending the next week at the cottage... which means i won't be spending any time there this week... and if so... very little.

currently: waiting for dad to bring my car back from the garage. yes. again. however, this time it should be good. they apparently rechecked the radiator hose and replaced a part of the exhaust or something sounding somewhat similar to that.

my happy song of the moment: banana pancakes by jack johnson

Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you
this song It's meant to keep you
From doin' what you're supposed to
Like wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, hala ka ukulele
Mama made a baby
I really don't mind the practice
Because you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me

Because I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains

Pretend like there's no world outside
And we could pretend that all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Can't you see, can't you see

Rain all day and I don't mind

The telephone singing, ringing, it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
It's just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms

Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, wake up slow

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this song
It's meant to keep you
From doin' what your supposed to
Like wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in

I'll make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really, really, really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see

We've got to wake up slow

anyway, just went out to lunch with amanda... think we might go to ch'town tonight... or at the very least go in town... don't feel like kickin around here all evening. ah well, we shall see we shall see. OoO my car is home. I'm outta here, i wanna find out if it's drivable again.......

holy wow it is really late... or really early depending on how you look at it :P just got home from up west... wanted to stay the night there but my dad wanted his car back here for the morning... mine is ill again... argh...

currently watching: mythbusters shark special... for the second time tonight... that's sad... really sad...

currently craving? holy wow i wish i had a big mac...

today was just a crappy all round day. went to rustico last night... had such a great time... got up at 8:30ish and drove home... fell asleep around 2ish maybe and then had to get ready to leave for work in o'leary at 5... work was not good... i seem to butting heads with my mother every time i turn around... nothing ever seems to go smoothly with the two of us working together... argh it just makes me want to pull my hair out... then i went to matt's after work and ta-da here i am getting home (safe and sound) at 4 a.m. and am online. cccccrazy. what the flip am i doing online at 4 a.m. ???? lol... sigh... on that note i am going to bed. night.

11:00 on a thursday and i am ready to go back to bed. i don't know if i slept at all last night... which sucks cause i have this nagging feeling that i won't be getting too much sleep tonight :P sigh. what can you do though. not a whole lot at this point, means as i have to go shower and get dressed and pack up a few necessities for le cottage. you know. like food. and towels. i always seem to forget the towels. and then i am left to my own devices at the cottage to find the most threadbare things (i cannot bring myself to call them towels) that should have been thrown out ten years ago. but perhaps that's some of the *charm* of the cottage. anywho, les is working from 1-4 and i guess i have to work from 4-10. funny how i used to work there full time and it didn't bother me so much, but now when i have to go in for a couple of hours i just really don't want to go :P

had such a really and truly great last night. went shopping with amanda and jess for three hours... in summerside... and i bought stuff... it was truly remarkable :P lol... i haven't found so many great deals in summerside since i was like 15.

anywho, im off to get ready, or at least semi-ready.

currently: trying to finish reading the juror - john grisham; the fountainhead - ayn rand; and a light read - on the bright side, i am now the girlfriend of a sex god - i don't know who writes it just that it's leslie's and i found it lying around and after reading like 3 pages i couldn't stop lol. so it kinda looks like i might just spend the day in bed reading until i finish them all :P

bored... so so bored... i was stuck inside all day yesterday and its looking like today might be the same... at least for another hour or two... argh... i hate being stuck here... hopefully le car will be fixed when i get home friday night... that would make my week... so today is wednesday... hmm... tomorrow i work from 4-10 and then i am staying at the cottage for the night... then friday i work from 1-5 and then sunday 1-10... not too bad not too bad at all... have to hide my credit card so that i will stop using it... i got my bill yesterday and was unpleasantly surprised... funny how easy it is to forget about a couple of 70 or 80 dollar purchases :P

totally in need of a road trip... i would even be happy going to moncton... although i am kinda in a halifax mood... go figure...

soooooo as of now, finally getting around to updating my website... about the only thing i have updated all summer has been this blog! t'is time to get some of these pics up... takes do long to upload them on dialup tho...

perhaps more later

ok.

got woken up around 11:30 this morning. just enough time to get showered and dressed and get out the door to the funeral/memorial thing-y in the brae. it wasn't so bad, being as he passed away in march. plus there was no casket... just ashes. it was more of a chance for everyone to see each other... mostly people that i didn't know. after that, they all went to the g&e to eat, but i opted out of the extra awkwardness and went to matt's for an hour or so.

and now, voila, je suis a ma maison. yayyyyyy. car is still at the garage but it's looking like it will get fixed by the end of the week -- all $800 worth of it :(

OoO bonus. the phone will be officially hooked up at the cottage as of next tuesday woo-hoo. i absolutely hate staying there with no phone. our old number is apparently taken so, so if anyone wants the new one i'm thinking it will be 1413. yayyyyyyyyy.

relief

currently: watching "girls just want to have fun"

sigh

after the last couple of days, i am finally feeling up to par. what with worrying about grampie and then the car and just argh everything.

feels like a gigantic weight has been lifted off my shoulders. grampie's ct scan didn't show anything too drastic which is excellent news.

the car... well who really cares about a hunk of metal? as long as everyone is alive and well, right?

so... yesterday... worked for leslie last night... it's nice to be able to give her an extra evening off. plus i don't mind a couple extra dollars in my pocket :P i applied for a new job yesterday so cross your fingers...

smiling again... :D

somebody please shoot me in the foot. i am having a crappy day. i have grown accustomed to having my own vehicle and it looks like that is all about to change :( heard a funny sound and now it looks like its going to cost more to fix it than the car is actually worth *sob* tres angry and upset at the moment. i can't afford a new car... but on the same token i can't afford a grand to fix this one either. what to do, what to do, what to do.

- from 10 things i hate about you

i hate the way you talk to me
and the way you cut your hair
i hate the way you drive my car
i hate it when you stare
i hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind
i hate you so much it makes me sick
it even makes me rhyme
i hate the way you're always right
i hate it when you lie
i hate it when you make me laugh
even worse when you make me cry
i hate it when you're not around
and the fact that you didn't call
but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you
not even close
not even a little bit
not even at all

*sigh*

long time no update... um... trews/fingereleven/lifehouse concert was ok... canada day was good... saw george for the first time in a long time... "babysat" my sister and her friend while they drank... lol... that's the first time i ever saw my lil sis drink i think... um... been up west a lot lately... still looking for another job... possibly found one... i'm applying today -- it's with the children's wish foundation... and it's in summerside so bonus. my car is ill. it's stuck up west. i don't have the cash to fix it at the moment which would indicate yet another reason why i need another job.

more later. i must go shower.
