| ... leaving. |
[16/06/2009
@ 02:20] |
We are leaving on Wednesday.
Ugh.
I'm really sad about it. I have loved the year I have spent here. It's been awesome.
I've met some incrediable people, created a lot of great bonds with those people. It's been really sad to say goodbye to them. I still haven't come to grasps with the fact that I'm going to have to say goodbye to my Mother-in-law. She's been so amazing this last year. I was so nervous about meeting her - I'd heard some scary things about her - but she turned out to be SO incrediable. She's funny, smart, a hard-ass, stubborn, VERY generous... so many other things. She's been such a great person to look up to. :)
We booked her a plane ticket to leave Edmonton the Wednesday after we get back. I'm going to cry. Probably bawl. :(
Anyway. The game plan:
Wednesday - Indiana, PA to Chicago, IL.
- STOP TO SEE NAVY PIER & SEARS TOWER (maybe) -
Thursday - Chicago, IL to Sioux Falls, SD
- STOP TO SLEEP -
Friday - Sioux Falls, SD to Rapid City, SD
- STOP TO SEE MT. RUSHMORE -
Saturday - Rapid City, SD to Yellowstone National Park, WY
- STOP TO SEE OL' FAITHFUL -
Sunday - Yellowstone National Park, WY to Lethbridge, AB (Canada)
- STOP TO SLEEP -
Monday - Lethbridge, AB to Edmonton, AB
- SHOW ROBIN WEST EDMONTON MALL, THE MODEL OF OUR HOME, MEET MY FAMILY, VISIT SHANNON & BABY GRACE -
Wednesday - Put Robin on a plane back to Indiana, PA.
- CRY -
... Then I have to try and find a job. A while ago I got my hopes up over a possible job at Mitsu but then they found someone else. That person didn't work out but the lady who is in charge of hiring found someone else. I'm a little disappointed though. I will be back almost 3 weeks before this new girl can even start. I don't know why I wasn't given a chance but oh well. I've been applying for jobs with The City of Edmonton, they pay way more and it would be a great place to work. I just wanted to work at Mitsu so that Crystal and I could car pool. It would be a really easy and money saving thing for both of us. But again... oh well. The lady that does the hiring must have her reasons.
So before I get a job Ryan and I might go out to Nanaimo for a bit. I haven't been there in a long time and all the family is out there. It'll be nice. I miss my grandparents. They make me giggle and if we time it well enough I'll get to see my Dad too. I miss him so much. I can't wait until the house is finished and he can come stay with us when he's in Edmonton. Plus he's a great cook - he is a chef - so he'll make yummy food!! :)
Anyway... I'm rambling. To recap:
1) I'm really, really, really, really upset to be leaving. I don't want to. I want to stay. But I can't so I have to leave.
2) I'm upset about the job situation but oh well... that's life.
3) I hope to go and visit my family in Nanaimo. It will be so good and who doesn't love BC? It's so beautiful.

I'll update you all from the road if we have internet.

| Update (what an original title...) |
[07/02/2009
@ 09:57] |
I made it back into the United States. Yay. When asked why I was travelling down into the States I told the customs agent that I was going to help finish settling the estate of my father-in-law. Which is true in a way, I'm just not as directly involved as I may have made it seem at the border. But we are finishing Randy's estate. Currently, my Mother-in-law and sister-in-law are down in Florida cleaning out the house. They are loading up a trailer with stuff that we will be trying to sell. Stuff nobody wanted to keep. The house is going to be listed, which I hope sells quickly, and most of the insurance has been settled and paid out. I suppose after that all we have to do is pay the lawyer and get the court stuff tied up and done.
That is that update. haha
Ryan and I found a house while we were in Edmonton. It was really exciting. My Mom went with us and we drove around looking at show homes. We found some nice ones but then the people where really rude and treated us poorly which made the homes not that great. The second set of homes that we visited were built by Greenboro Homes. They are beautiful homes and Samir (who is the sales manager) has been GREAT with all our questions. The day that we drove around, he was the ONLY person who actually spoke to Ryan and I and treated us like potential buyers!! Anyway, if anyone is interested, here is the info to the floorplan that we like and are 98% going to start fairly soon!
www.greenborohomes.com
Find your Home -> Home Search
(Under 2000 - 2500 Sq Feet) South Hampton & South Hampton 2
We are combining the two layouts. One has the laundry on the 2nd level (which I love and think is so great) and the other has the walk thru pantry from the garage which is so ideal. So we are going to make it all work. We are also going to finish the basement as Ryan wants a theatre room down there. Right now we are trying to pick out what we like in a Kitchen and what sort of colours we like. It's hard!!
Hmmm... what else?
I've been doing really awful on my eating. I start the week so good and then 4 days in I just stop. I just eat whatever. It's awful. I'm so disappointed in myself. Ryan and I have been taking Sid for walks though, so we are getting out and moving, which is better then eating and doing nothing. *sigh* I have to kick myself into gear. I had this brilliant plan that I would try to lose 25lbs by my 25th birthday. It's not a bad goal and I think it's achivable. It's 3 months to my 25th birthday and I'm heavy enough that losing approx. 2lbs a week is a def. possibility. I think I'm going to look up a livejournal group that I used to belong to as well. It helps me sometimes to read other peoples struggles and successes. Gives me motivation and reminds me that I'm not alone. Plus, I met some pretty cool people on it last time that turned out to be wonderful people to talk to. :)
Alright, well. I'm going to wake up my husband so we can get our asses moving in the gorgeous weather outside. I want to take Sidney to this man-made lake area that I just love today. It's too nice out to be inside all day!!
Have a good day everyone!! :)

| FAT. |
[09/01/2009
@ 20:37] |
I don't know how many of you out there have ever been called fat, I don't know how many of you out there are actually fat but I am.
There isn't any denying it. I'm large, overweight, fat (obese even, according to my BMI and Wii). Do I like it? No. Is it an easy lifestyle? No. But I am.
I hate it. Don't get me wrong. I've been big my entire life, child, teenage and now an adult. I've tried every diet, I've joined gyms and gone on a regular basis, I've taken the "magic" pills that were supposed to help it melt off. They don't work.
I'm an emotional eater. I always have been. It's awful and trust me, when I sit there and dunk oreo's or chew a handful of some sugar coated, fat filled candy I know how bad it is. That doesn't mean I stop.
So I get asked, "Why don't you do something about it?" "Why don't you just not eat *insert food here*?"
Well... I have tried numerous times to do something about it. Sometimes I lose weight, sometimes I gain it. Sometimes I bounce around a couple weeks and then do nothing. And as for not eating it? Why do you eat McDonalds? Why do you eat *insert food here"? That's the same reason I eat it. I'm not going to starve myself of it and then crave it later and over eat. That's how I work. If I cut something out entirely I'm going to want it and it's not going to be pretty when I get it. Been there, done that.
Do I hate skinny people? Yeah... most of the time I would like to snap them and floss with them. Am I jealous of the people who can eat whatever and not gain a pound, while I can basically look at something and gain 10? Ummm... yeah. Other then my Mother-in-law I think everyone would be (she has the most amazing metabolism and self-control I've ever seen!!!).
It doesn't really matter I guess. No more then this entry does in a way. Somedays I'm happy and think that I can change my weight and do something about it. Somedays I don't think I'll ever lose even 10lbs. Sometimes the difficulty of it is too much to handle and I give up. Somedays I look at the food that is bad and say, "I'm not going to eat you today."
I exercise. To lose weight I probably have to put in atleast an hour a day. I eat right a good chunk of the time. To lose weight I need to eat better a bigger chunk of the time.
I know. Trust me. I know. I know how to do it, what I have to do to do it. I know it. But sometimes I don't do what I know. Sometimes I do exactly the oppposite and I enjoy it. I'm not going to deny that. I like ice cream. I like cheeseburgers.
So guess what... I'm fat. At my last weigh in I weighed 280lbs. I was PISSED! I worked so hard the week before. I worked out, I ate right... and I still gained.
It's an awful feeling. Most people are worried about being close to 200lbs. I would do almost anything to weight 200lbs. I'm terrified of going over 300 (for the 2nd time in my life).
I don't know what else to really say. I don't really know why I even wrote this. Maybe I'm getting it all out there and trying to get myself back into the game (again). Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.
I guess time will tell.

| Way overdue update... |
[13/12/2008
@ 08:28] |
I was going to start my baking, but then I read Crystal's blogs and figured I better update too... well and it made me miss her and Mitsu like crazy. :(
I miss Crystal. I miss having a friend who just laughed or made me laugh. But we didn't always have to be laughing, sometimes we could just watch a movie and not say anything and just chill out. I miss that. :( I wish she could come work here and then she could hang out with me. There is a Mitsu dealership here... it would have been cool if we could have both transferred here!! But no... stupid immigration junk. Let's face it, although Canada and the US are different countries... they are pretty much the same!! Why can't I just get a job here and steal Crystal and get her a job too??! That would be pretty awesome. But... no can do. Oh well. Hopefully she'll be visiting sometime in 2009. Then we will just chill and do nothing, but then do lots. See this paragraph means nothing to probably everyone except Crystal and I because we are intune like that... and she'll totally get it. I miss her. :(
Oka... besides that. Well... Ryan and I went to Niagara Falls. It was pretty cool. It rained pretty much the entire time we were there but it was still cool. Ryan was really sick so we spent more time inside cuddling. Which to be honest, was good too. Ryan cuddles a lot more when we are away then when we are home. haha
Ryan quit his job about 2 weeks ago. He was super unhappy there and it was really putting a damper on everything. They were NOT nice to him, his manager was some bitch who thinks that being 27 and having a life goal of being a Family Video manager makes it right to treat everyone like they are lower then her. I just want to laugh at her... that and tell her to go get a real job. I mean, I know retail is a real job, but please realize that everyone can work retail, it doesn't take some special skill to do your job. She was such a dumb shit. Meh... anyway, so now we are both not working or bringing in any money. Fun right? ... Not. It's stressing me out. I hate when our bills come and I hate when we go anywhere. I don't want to spend any money, I don't want to do anything. It makes me so nervous and I just can't stand it. I feel like I need to go out and find ANYTHING that will pay some money.
Ryan isn't stressed out about it but he is really good at just hanging out and doing nothing. He likes his sleep, and he likes to just chill and do nothing. haha I need to be doing things... keeping busy, making money. I had two jobs and still felt like I wasn't doing enough most of the time. We are very opposite when it comes to that.
I've been volunteering with an organization called "Treasures for Children". They take familes who make under a certain income and find out what the kids "wish" for at Christmas. Then they put it on a tag with the child's age, first name and gender and let retail stores put it up on a tree that people can pick up and buy for the children. That is an awkward sentence... sorry. Anyway, Ryan and I have been orgainzing gifts coming in and making sure that the kids are getting things that they like and that if there are multiple children that each child is getting close to the same amount of gifts. It's been fun.
After the holidays I think I'm going to go volunteer with an organization called "Four Footed Friends". It is a no-kill shelter and they always need help with walking dogs, reception, just general duties. I think I will like it and it will keep me BUSY!! YAY! Now if only it paid... haha
Other then that... immigration is kinda stalled because we are dealing with something else. It's frustrating but I understand so I'm trying not to say anything. I just want to go home... to a place where I feel like I can actually contribute to our relationship. And I miss my family.
Christmas is hard. I've never spent it without some part of my family. I know that Ryan is my family now and that I need to be a grown up... but I really miss my family. Christmas with Ryan's family is going to be REALLY different. Ryan has a 13 year old brother who still believes in Santa. No joke. And his brother gets to make all the rules in the house and everyone does what he wants, so he makes all the rules for Christmas. Which include getting up at 4am and opening gifts. Plus they do Christmas lunch and then see a movie on Christmas day. Then they don't do dinner. So I'm just... really thrown I guess. It's just completely different from what I'm used to and I don't really deal with different well.
In my house, even with an 8 year old, no one really gets up earlier then 7am. And we usually eat breakfast before presents. We can open stockings before breakfast but that's it. Then it's a slow casual thing and then we hang out during the day. Just enjoying time together, then we have a big supper. So... it's just different. I'm sure it will be fun, but I know that my world will be upside down on Christmas. So ontop of missing my family like crazy it's going to be so different... I'm going to be on edge.
I'm going to try and have fun and make it the best. But I know that when I come home after presents to let our puppy out I'm going to be upset. I'll cry my tears and just deal with it I guess. haha I sound like a baby, but I'm just not a good person when it comes to change. *sigh* Oh well.
It'll be fun. I just have to keep thinking that.
Alright... well now, it's almost 11am so I better get up and start baking.
*HUGS*

YAY!
Ryan and I just watched his acceptance speech and I had goosebumps and tears. What a beautiful speech.
How do we elect this guy to be President of the world? haha :)
John McCain had a wonderful concession speech. It was very well written, gracious and moving.
Today is such an amazing day. For me, being an outsider looking in, it was a day that the United States came together and made a change. Wanted a change and pushed for it. It also gave me this great pride to watch a country, who isn't shown in the best light around the world, elect a man of colour... to watch a campaign where two women ran at one point or another. The world is changing. I want to believe that this will mark a great day in history, a day where it proved to every child out there, that no matter your skin colour, your gender, your anything... if you work hard and dream to be, you can be.
I know it's lame, but it just makes me so happy. It gives me hope for future generations. It gives me hope that maybe THIS generation can work together and be ONE.
We all bleed the same colour when it comes down to it. THAT is what matters.
YAY YAY YAY!
Tonight was a very exciting night! :)

[22/10/2008
@ 15:04] |
About a week ago I ran over a raccoon.
I was horrified! I had to pull over and take a moment because I've never run over anything before! It was an awful feeling. Ryan didn't really know what to do and just looked at me as I sat in the car, with my hand over my mouth trying to figure out how I felt.
On the night was came home from Disney I complained about how the drain cover in the bathroom sink kept coming out and I couldn't figure it out. Ryan told me we probably had a snake... oh.lord. I tried to ignore it but at around 1:30am he woke me up telling me that something was in the house. As I woke up and listening all I could hear was what sounded like a VERY LARGE rattle. I immediatly started to freak out thinking there was a VERY LARGE snake in the house trying to defend itself against our cats.
I sent Ryan out to investigate and this is what we found...
( Surpise Visitor )
So I was ready to pack my bags and head into a city. Any city. Just a city. No raccoons, no bats, no fleas and no rats. Then today we went to Blue Spruce Park w/ Sidney. I remember why I love the rural area.

Hi!
*waves*
I'm alive! I snoop around and read everything but never update! How horrible am I?
Anyway, I'm currently sitting at the Mom-in-law's, smelling chili, waiting for the hubby to get back from a dinner meeting. The chili smells good!! :)
So what's new with me? What's new with you?
Well... hmmm..
1) Ryan bought a hummer. Well since I guess we are married... we bought a hummer. Gees. I don't really care for the vehicle, I tried to convince him that it was a bad idea, but he wanted it. Well... he did. It's a 2005 H2. It's HUGE! I'm going to take a picture later and post but it's... well ridiculous in ways. BUT... no matter how silly I think it is, he is all smiles and that makes me happy. Ryan happy = Kayla happy. You all know how that works!
2) We just returned home from DISNEY WORLD!! Oh. my. lord! It was AMAZING!! I've never really understood the awe of Disney, but oh lord do I now!! I just want to go back! I feel like there is so much I didn't get to see and do and so many pictures left to take!! :)
DISNEY SAMPLER
It was amazing... but oh boy talk about birth control! haha No more crying, screaming, awful behaved children PLEASE!
3) It's almost halloween. I'm in shock that it's past the middle of October!! We are almost in Christmas time!!! We get a real tree this year!! WOOT! The cat is going to destroy it... I may have to lock her away to protect my tree!!
Well that's about it! Tomorrow Ryan and I are taking the dog to the lake so she can run around and I can take pictures. It's so beautiful here with all the colours!! I love it!!
Toodles. *muah*

| October 1 - 8 days til Disney World! :) |
[01/10/2008
@ 14:49] |
We are leaving for Disney World on October 9th!
YAY! :)
I'm pretty excited. Today we picked up out bag tags and the rest of our information. We fly out on the morning of the 9th and come home on the 15th. We are only in Disney for 4 days though, then we are spending 2 days with Ryan's grandparents.
I've never been to Disney... well anything! Ryan has been to Disney World, Disney Land AND EuroDisney. I know... spoiled right? haha That is what happens when your Dad was a Pilot and travelled all over!! Anyway, he says Disney World is his favorite. I'm excited for him too because he really needs to just relax and enjoy himself. I know that the two of us are going to be about... 8 years old for the entire visit. I really want to meet Donald - but I think I mentioned that already.
It's going to be a fun place to buy some unique Christmas presents too. I saw something already that I would like to get for my sister! :) YAY for shopping. I'm not a fan of regular shopping but I LOVE touristy shopping!! :) That's just the best!! :)
Other then that, Ryan wants to buy a hummer. There is a yellow and black H2 for sale down the road from us. I'm really against it. We have 3 cars to our names right now and I already feel like we have one too many. But in a way one of them can only be driven in the summer anyway so I guess 2 cars isn't bad. Anyway, Ryan is really set on just buying a 2nd car for me to drive here. He swears I need a car with 4WD or AWD and I just don't want to buy a car. I know that having one car could be a bit of a challange come winter but I just feel like spending money on a new car is... well silly. We can't drive 3 cars up to Canada when we move back! I don't even know how we are going to bring the Porsche and the Imprezza up when we are going to need to rent a uhaul anyway. Gees... so much thinking stuff!!!
Anyway... Once my dear husband gets an idea in his head that he really wants something - it's RELLY hard to convince him otherwise... so now I don't know what to do. He says he'll listen to my input if I want to give it, or he'll do it without my input... so now... blah.
Hmmm... other then that. Still no fingerprints... which REALLY REALLY bothers me. It's been a good 3 months so I'm just... upset. Not that I don't love it down here but I want to go home, I want to be somewhere where we can BOTH contribute to this relationship. Right now I can't work, I can't even really go across the border because I'm scared I won't be able to come back. It's frustrating and irritating. Sometimes I get annoyed because Ryan really never talks about it and when I do he gets irked with me and doesn't want to discuss it. *grumble* So... I don't know. I think that I should have him re-submit it all, maybe include a letter that says we need them by a certain date. I didn't think it was going to be this long anyway, and now I have no jobs to show Canadian Immigration that I can provide for myself. It is a hit against us in a big way, I just figured we would have submitted already and they would approve me and then it wouldn't matter. Now I don't know what they will do.
Alright, well... I'm going to the mall to buy a book because I'm going stir crazy with nothing to read. It's just that season where I want to sit in the living room curled up and read. That way I can sit with Ryan and he can watch TV while I read. :)
*muah*

Hi everyone!! :-P
I don't even know where to start right now. haha I'm here... I'm alive.
Things have been good. Nothing super exciting. I'm being a housewife, which sometimes is nice, sometimes is boring. haha I do a lot of cleaning, laundry, dishes... then I watch tv and work out. I'm helping out my Mother-in-law on Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays. I have fun, she makes me laugh all the time.
I've been getting to know my sister-in-law. She's a fireball!! She is so funny and speaks her mind like no one I've ever met. She's great!
I joined weight watchers 2 weeks ago. I weigh in for my 2nd week tomorrow morning. Last week I lost 5.8lbs. WOOT for me!! :) Its so easy and I love it. It's like a game. I'm having a good time and Ryan is doing it with me. I don't think he likes it as much! :)
We are going to Disney World in October. I'm really excited. I've never been and I'm looking forward to seeing everything and buying lots of souviners (sp?). :) Oh and meeting Donald Duck. Why doesn't he wear pants? And if he doesn't care to ever wear pants why does he wrap a towel around him when he gets out of the shower? Huh? :-)
Alright, Ryan and I are going to run errands.
Sorry this entry is so lame. haha

HI!
We are home. Sidney - the puppy. Oliver - the cat. Mo - the new cat. Ryan - the husband. Me - the wife. haha :)
We've been home since Monday. It's been a crazy couple weeks. Things are slowly but surely getting done. It's nice to be home, it makes a difference. More relaxed, more structured (WHICH IS WHAT I LOVE!!)... just better!
We purchased a new bed!! YAY! Our current one is so lumpy and bad... it's just horrible for both our backs. So we purchased a new box spring and mattress.
We also purchased our own washer & dryer! It's been so nice to do our own laundry IN our own home!! :) I also got to go on a bit of a shopping spree at Walmart for the kitchen. We had nothing so now we are set... and I can BAKE!! :)
Ryan bought me a new phone too so that I actually have my own number. :)
It's been a crazy ride, but it's nice to have stuff we need!! :)
As for everything else... I miss my family and friends. I talked to my Mom the other day and I wish I could be there to help her with the move. She sounds so stressed out and it worries me a ton. I don't want her to be stressed out!!
I'm worried about Crystal. Her job sucks and she can do so much better. I wish she was able to find something that she loved lots and wasn't on the other side of the city. I also worry about her and her hubby. He doesn't care for me that much but that's oka. It's not that I dislike him I just wish he treated Crystal better. He's almost 30!! He should be taking WAY better care of her! :( I feel like he's oblivious to the fact that he has this gorgeous, amazing, smart, funny and wonderful woman beside him and is letting her slip away. :( *sigh* I'm just counting down the days to when she can come visit!! I hope we can take her to Florida while she is here too! It would be really fun!! We will see... Ryan and I will plan, plan, plan!! :)
Alright... I'm going to go clean more!!

I'm sitting in an airport in New Jersey, waiting to catch a plane to Pittsburgh to meet with Ryan. On Saturday I'll be flying again, this time to Miami.
Ryan's Dad, my father-in-law, passed away yesterday.
Randall Malcolm
We had to move things around and cancel things, but I left my job 2 days early and hopped on a plane all day to be with my husband.
It's been a really surreal two days. I'm still in shock over everything and there is still so much to be figured out.
I've never had to deal with death where there wasn't someone else in line ahead of me to deal with it. Although there isn't much I can do to help out, I just want to be with Ryan so when he's tired of dealing with it all, or just needs someone to lean on I can be there for him. He's been there for me so many times I've lost count, all I can think to do is to be there for him.
Which leaves me in New Jersey, waiting for a delayed plane, and then two days after flying to Miami with my mother-in-law (BONDING TIME... holy crap) to be there for Ryan and his sister.
I had to leave really early this morning, I barely had time to say goodbye to everyone. I know I probably won't notice until... sometime next week that I'm not going to see my own family for quite a long time. I'm trying not to think about it, because I know I have to be strong for Ryan.
It's going to be a busy, crazy, stressful couple of weeks. Trying to help Ryan get everything in order and help him figure out what he's going to do. I love him. I miss him. I can't wait to see him and be able to hold him and try and show him that I'm here for him.

Saturday is my last day in town. I leave Sunday morning, and my Mom & sister are going to drive me to the airport, Tyler is going to come with his Dad and then I can say good bye to everyone.
Saturday though, most of my friends are out of town for the long weekend. Well... my Mom is going golfing all day with her boyfriend and his kid. I won't see her again for 8 months or so and she is choosing to go golfing 2.5 hours away with her boyfriends kid.
I'm upset about it. I just thought she might want to spend the day with me, we could just hang out, go for lunch or something. Just her and I.
Ugh. I dunno. Sometimes I just don't get my Mom. I know she always chooses her boyfriends over us, so I shouldn't be surprised by this, but it still upsets me.
I would bring it up with her, but really I don't need to make the last few days I have here hell. She told my Aunt that she and her boyfriend never get to see each other now so that's why they are going. They live together, the only difference is that they don't work at the same place anymore...
blah. Oka... whatever. I'll just sleep in and relax. Talk to Ryan.

Moved. I've moved out of my apartment.
It's sad in a way. It was my home, it was where I slept for 2 years. I think I'll probably miss it more when I come back to Edmonton and my Mom's house has changed as well. Right now I'm sleeping in my old home, where I grew up, but that is changing too! It's crazy!! I think it's good that they are moving after I leave because I'd have a much harder time leaving that house then the apartment.
BUT... you know what is great about Mom's house? There is food everywhere. There is always something to eat!!! :) haha Well and there is family. My brother and my Mom. Jace and I are sharing a bedroom, which we haven't done in a REALLY long time. It should be fun for the next week. :)
My last shift at Mitsu is tonight. I think it'll be sad. I only have 4 shifts left at the Bisto. I'm kinda lost because I don't really know what to do. I haven't really trained anyone to do my job so... well... I guess who ever takes it over will just have to figure it out for themselves. Lack of planning on Calvin's part for sure. I gave them 3 weeks notice, they should have had someone trained, at least to cover until they could find a permanent replacement... Oh well I suppose. Not my problem.
Alright speaking of... I should atleast balance June before I go. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER
I can't believe he's 8 already. He's growing up so fast. I was 16 when he was born, so I guess I'm getting older too. haha
He's just such a great kid. He's so kind, he's so sweet, he's so funny. There isn't a bad bone in his body. He's spoiled but he never acts like it. He is just the greatest kid. :) He's got a DS w/ guitar hero from Jace, Ryan & I. Mom & Gord gave him Guitar Hero for the Wii, Super Mario Bros for DS and a game for the computer. Then we went out and bought him a guitar stand for his new Wii guitar. :) He loves it all. We made him read the cards outloud it was so cute. He's a really great reader too! It's just so cute!! :)
Awww... oka I'll stop gushing. He is just awesome!!! :)
Oka, last night Crystal, Bruce & I went to Taste of Edmonton. Crystal and I were ToE virgins so we just followed Bruce around. haha We ended up buying WAY too many tickets and by the end of it and after our last chocolate covered strawberry I'm positive we were all ready to burst. It was a blast though and Bruce liked Crystal and I think Crystal like Bruce. It's great when two friends from different parts of your life get along. It makes things so much nicer. I hate awkward. haha
My mom said today she can't believe that I'm leaving the country in a week. I'm in shock over it too. I only have one shift left at Mitsubish and 4 left with Kids in the Hall. It's just nuts. My life is about to change drastically and it just doesn't feel like it yet. Granted my house is all packed up and I'll be living with my mom for a week... that will probably throw everything into perspective. haha
Alright... speaking of packing, I should finish the little I have left.
Hope everyone is having a good day!! :)

| Ever just not like someone? |

Howdy all.
I'm high on a slurpee and jelly beans. So not a good combo, I want to bounce around and giggle, but I must remain calm. I'm a grown up now... and at work. Those two things prevent me for bouncing and giggling...
I love slurpees... 'specially sour green ones!! :)
Oka... so. Have you ever just not liked someone? Something about them just really gets under your skin and you can't stand them?
I feel that way about a co-worker of Ryan's. Now to be fair, I've never met her, so I don't really "know" her, BUT... everytime he mentions her name I want to scream. She does the most immature, retarded things. And she is the biggest bible thumper I've ever encountered. Usually I can get a long with bible thumpers, but she opens her mouth and says that dumbest, rudest things. Without even thinking!!
Not to mention she's a little cow when it comes to work and thinks she can boss everyone around. Grrrr. She went away for the summer so I haven't heard much about her but now she's on her way back and I know she's going to piss Ryan off and I'll hear all about her. Plus Ryan hangs out with her outside of work so I'm sure I'll have to hear about her some way or another.
I plan on meeting her. I'll give her a chance, but the moment she opens her mouth and says something stupid I'm going to smack her one.
Grrr. I'm pretty much nice to everyone... she just gets under my skin and on my nerves like no one else.
Other then that it's all good. Tyler's b-day is on Saturday. He's getting lots of stuff and we are having ice cream cake on Sunday! :) Woot! :) I can't believe he's going to be 8!!! He had grown up so quickly!!
:) AND... I found out I will get to see one of his football games before I leave! I'm so happy! I was quite upset that I was going to miss his whole first year, but I'll get to see one. :)
Oka... back to work.
