Hello Friends.
I know it's been a long time since I've written in here, so I'm not even sure anyone still checks it, but whether you are or not, I hope everything is well with everyone. Feel free to drop me a line anytime you want.
Recent events are:
1) I was recently promoted to floor walker of my contract. Seemingly not a big thing, but as there is only 1 floor walker on my contract and I'm it, it was nice to be picked for the job. I was pretty confident I was going to get it for 2 reasons. 1. My supervisor was rooting for me and 2. I'd been doing the job for a month before they actually posted it. I still had to "compete" against others to get it, so I was still nervous until I got the letter telling me I got the position. It was very uplifting.
2) Tom and I got 2 cats, in June(not so recent, but more current than my last post) Their names are Randy(boy) and Blue(girl). Randy is a snugglebug. He's adorable and able to drive you crazy all in the same minute. He's really like a dog. Meets you at the door, butts his head at you until you pet him, silently follows behind you then lays at your feet(especially in the kitchen). He ususally sleeps with/on us :)
Blue is a chicken. When we first got her she was extremely skittish, doesn't like to be held, no cuddling, barely any petting allowed and no playing with toys. She's still pretty skittish but she comes up and sits in our laps, looking to be petted now. Still doesn't like to be picked up very much and runs if you move too fast, but other than that, she's settling in very well. Even plays now and then, likes pens more than cat toys.
3) Tom and I bought a car a week ago. 2002 Mazda Protege, 4 dr, CD, auto, power locks/windows, A/C. HAHAHAHA I HAVE A CAR!!!! AND IT'S OURS, NOT THE DEALERSHIPS!!!!! No crappy lease, no financing!!!! Ahhhhh ahahahahahahaha......No more busing... YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be able to go places, to parties that I didn't go to before because the bus system took way to long to be worth it.
I can go see my friends... get ready Heather :D I'm comin for you!!!!! :P
Anyway, I'm at work, so I gotta go and do some :)

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die. |

So today I got up, picked up my clothes and put them in a basket, as I think I will do some laundry today. Tom and I were sitting in the livingroom, and when he got up to go to the washroom, I got all homemaker like. I had muffins almost fully mixed before he came out, as I wanted them to be a somewhat surprise, and had them in and ready to go within minutes after that. Then as the muffins were baking, I made scrambled eggs and toast. Breakfast was good, but I haven't had a muffin yet.
Tom is now playing Shadow of Colossus, which to anyone who is a gamer... it sucks! The controls are rotten. If it was me playing, I would have ditched it a long time ago, as that is how I play, if it gets too hard or annoying, I try for a while, but then I give up as I have enough things in real life that are hard and annoying to deal with it when I'm supposed to be having fun. Tom's direct quote is "If I didn't pay $50 for it, I would have shredded it". But he's doggedly plodding through and is currently on the last colossus.
We watched Madagascar last night. Pretty Funny, but very obviously for younger children... the movie just kind of .... ends. You'd have to watch it to know what I mean, but it's kind of like "Hey, we're doing this" Movie over. We also got Lord of War, but haven't watched that yet. I'm not even really sure what that movie is about, but it's entertainment for a couple of hours so hopefully it'll be good.
We ordered Swiss Chalet and watched Saw II on Valentines day. That was a good movie. I've only had one person in opposition of that, but Saw and Saw II are Awesome movies! We've also recently watched Dark water and Hostage. Not bad.
My cousins, Jessica and Emily's birthdays just passed, they are now 17 and 15, respectively. Jessica is 17!!!! I know it's trite, but Oh my god, where has the time gone?!?! It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that they were trying to emulate me, their favorite cousin Kado Pado, and now, they are young women. They are growing up too fast. It's not like they are my kids, but it sort of gives me a feeling of what it's going to be like when I have my own. I want their next birthdays to go backward one year instead of forward. Soon they aren't going to be my girls, they are going to be my women. Its kind of... not depressing, but nostalgic, maybe? Mourning what used to be, but glad for what's to come.
Well enough ranting, Tom needs the computer for a few minutes. |

So I realize that I should have posted appoximately 6-8 months ago, but
I've been not wanting to. I don't really see much of a point
since I don't think anyone reads it, but I decided, this is my journal
and my memories, and it's not for everyone else, so I am back journal.
Most recent things that have happened, went to the NHL Senators Super
Skills Competition in Jan. that was fun, it was Tom, Me, Phil,
Shawn, Kristen, Barb, Jean. The commentator was pretty amusing.
A couple months ago, Tom, Shawn, Kristen and I went to an actual
game. Ottawa Versus Carolina. Ottawa lost.... and how dare
they on my first trip to a real NHL game :P We're
going again next month. I'm hoping they win this time, since it'd
be nice to see the team I'm rooting for win while I'm there.
lol... I'll have to put in a request.
So Shawn and Kristen asked us if we'd like to move in with them.
It's kind of looking like a no because they are so far out that we'd
have to bus at least and hour 15 mins both ways everyday. But I
love their house and we spend so much time with them that it would be
nice to be there just for company. But obviously there are many
obstacles. We haven't fully decided yet, but will soon.
I found out that my cousin Rachel, who is a month younger than me, is
getting Married!!! On july 15th. I don't stay in
touch as much with that side of my family, so it was a relative shock
when I heard that, but I'm happy for her. I don't know if I"ll be
able to make it home for her wedding, but I kind of hope so.
I can not believe that I
haven't mentioned that My Parents Bought a House! I just
re-scanned my "recent" journal entries, and i didn't mention it *slaps
forehead* The bought a 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom bungalow,
with a (I think) 2 car garage. It might only fit one, but I don't
really remember because it was filled with boxes and not cars when I
was there. Its a solar assist house, and it has a deck.
Wain already had a nice little garden started by the deck. Its
really close to their work, so they'd be able to walk if they
wanted.
My brother is doing ok, dating
a woman with a kid. He seems happy with her, but I always wonder
if he is happy with life. I don't think he is. I think he's
truding through, but I don't think he's really happy.. .maybe content,
but I don't know. I wish there was something I could do for him,
but I suppose its not for me.
My cousin Emily is turning 15
this Monday. It's scary, because that means Jessica is turning 17
on Saturday. I still can't help but think of them as younger than
that. They are almost grown ups!?! and i can't help but
think to myself, how did it happen so quickly?
Well, thats about all that I feel like writing today. Maybe I'll do Christmas next :P

e I sit and ponder.
Actually I'm not really pondering just sitting... sounded clever and witty to open with that though.
So sorry about the lack of posting... I've been severely lazy about
it... think I got sick of Livejournal, but I'm attempting to make a
comeback now.
And here is my recent update:
Spending alot of time with Tom, spent some time at his uncles awesome
house with his cool uncle and his girlfriend/fiancee(not quite
sure) Kristen is great, I really enjoy spending time with
her. Actually most of his family is pretty great.
Got in a minor car accident with
Tom, his cousin Elizabeth(2yrs old) and his Nan a month ago. We were
pretty much alright, some stupid kid rear ended us, then tried to pay
off Nan and the women in front of us(he hit us hard enough to push us
into her) with 50 bucks each... what a dumb ass. Because of the way I
was sitting, it was a little worse off for me... I ended up in physio.
It's not so bad its like doing easy but strenuous excercises... it's
actually pretty good. Tom got whiplash and probably should have gone
to physio too, but he lied to the doctor about the "pain". Turd.
Went camping a couple of weekends ago, had a pretty good time... rained
the first night, but it was pretty warm, so we drank and got rained
on... saturday it was nice and hot out... April, Nathan, Steph,
Michelle, Sonya and Andrew went swimming, sylvie stayed at the campsite
to chill, and Tom and I went to the "arcade" which consisted of 5
machines, the Claw and one of those fake your skiing game except it was
fake you are on a scooter... how lame is that. We had a blast playing
X-men and some shooting game... Tom was much better at both than I
was..... although I have to say I was alright at X-men. That was one
of the highlights of my weekend. rest of the weekendwent swimming,
played basketball and mini-putt with Nathan and Tom. drank again on
Saturday night. breakfast dinner, packing and got some sweet pics
Monday morning probably from
dehydration and a mild case of heat or sun stroke(whichever is less
severe) I got really sick, missed two days work, was still feeling
shitty on wednesday but much better than the days before... Tom thought
I had strep throat but I don't think so... if I did it was the fastest
case of strep ever.
Saturday was Tom and my one year
anniversary. It was great. he went off in the morning to get flowers,
although I wasn't supposed to know about the flowers but I mean,
really... who goes off on the morning of your anniversary because there
is something you "need to pick up" unless its huge or alive...ya
know... one of those just can't hide things? I was thinking flowers or
a kitty, and I figured no kitty because we'd half decided we'd pick one
out together when the time was right so neither of us would get a kitty
that the other would think was hideous. Sorry getting off topic.
While he was gone I whirlwinded around and spic and spanned the master
bedroom and the living room... as it living room way untidy and the
bedroom was still full of my stuff that I hadn't unpacked since we got
here. When he got back we exchanged gifts. I got him a couple of PS2
games and a Ipod 4gig mini and I had the ipod inscribed. I was
oworried because he hadn't expressed much interest in them before so I
was going on a guess that he'd like it, but he did... I was very much
relieved
Tom got me this beautiful white
gold diamond necklace, which I don't even want to contemplate the cost,
but I so unused to being bought outrageous things. you'd be surprised
at how difficult it is to accept expensive gifts for me. But this one
I took almost graciously.. and I love it
this weekend we're off to pei for a
week, and I can't wait to see my family and all the drama that will
come with it, but I'll save that story for another day. I just want
Tom to meet my parents and take him to the beach for bonfires and drive
in movies...etc I just hope he enjoys himself... I'd hate to have him
go somewhere for me and then find it tediously boring.
That's about all my news for now... and now I'm tired... need to go see tom in bed |

Do you ever feel like you aren't exactly headed in the direction you always planned... or at least hoped for?
The last few weeks have been... off track, to say the least. I've
been crazy sick, which means I'm missing a LOT of time at work, but the
good news with that, is now I have a doctor. I've been sleeping
like 12 - 16 hour days, sometimes more, Tom doesn't even know how I can
possibly stay asleep that long. And when I'm awake I feel like
crap, most of the time. The medication the doc prescribed is
helping somewhat but sometimes it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Half the time, I can't do anything, I feel useless and helpless.
I can barely eat anything, I brush my teeth, gag myself and I'm down
for the count. I think all my currently processed muscles have
turned back into mush, because of my lack of movement. It's
depressing... I just want to get up, go for a walk, eat food without
wondering if I can hadle it, ... hell even go back to work! I
just want to do something... I hate this forced non-activity. I
mean, if I was feeling good, all this time off work would be great, but
since I'm not... well, it's beginning to get me down.
The only thing I have to be thankful for right now is Tom. He's
been so supportive and caring. I feel horrible that I'm not doing
more. Like today he did all the dishes, and it was a trial
for me to dry them... took half the time he took to wash them, but I
had to sit down every few minutes. And he feels bad because he
wants to do something, anything, for me, but he can't because right now
there isn't much he can do. He's so great, and I'm glad he's with
me while I'm going through this. There isn't anyone else I'd want
by my side right now.
I'm beginning to get tired again, and I have to go wake Tom up for work
soon. Maybe I can just knock him out, call him in sick, and
cuddle with his limp body all night long.

Hey everyone. I am back online and will begin posting again soon. Quick update:
I am in my new place, have been for three months now. Things with
Tom and I are going great. Christmas, New Years and everything in
between was good. Presents were given and received and
enjoyed. Partys were attended.
So No.... I am not dead, contrary to popular opinion! And I will do my best to fill you all in in the near future.

Tom and I are moving into our place tomorrow!!! :D Today, we went and got all the keys and did the walk through, and I was getting so excited, I couldn't stop smiling. The guy who did the walk through was great. I was worried the falsely pleasant guy would be doing it as he's the "boss" I guess(tom described his attitude as "car salesman"...perhaps "used car salesman" cant remember which). But he didn't, and we went with "Robert" I think his name was, and he was nice and friendly.
So I get two things I've been longing for tomorrow. 1) Tom and I are going to be moving into our place... which is exciting on it's own, cuz come on... who doesn't want to live on their own... no interruptions, distractions, worrying about bothering someone or someone walking in at an *ahem* awkward time, being able to walk around, scantily clad... showering with the door open(although I don't do that much) :) and 2) I'm getting to meet "some" of Tom's family tomorrow :) His brother, Phil, and Phil's girlfriend Realle(pronounced Rae-elle) are helping us move tomorrow... as I said before, they just moved back to Ottawa about a month ago, from Hamilton. Not sure about his sister, but I don't think she's coming.
So I'm nervous, yet excited... I can't wait to meet Phil, but I know I'm going to be nervous when the time comes. Just because I haven't met anyone in his family yet, and it's not exactly like I"m going to be meeting more in the very near future, although I might... never know. All I know is, in my family, if one person meets someone connected to someone else in the family, everyone else wants to know what that person is like. I don't think they'll be like that, but I don't know and I really want to make a good impression... hence the nervousness....
New Topic: Finished getting my birthday presents, except the one my mom sent... it got sent back to her, so she's resending it again today. Jon got me a make up case for my purse, which I sorely needed since my makeup was just scattered around my bag, and 3 lip glosses. Tom, whom I was tempted to kill with the amount he spent but because he said he didn't buy them for the price I let him go, got me 2 lovely smelling massage oils, a gag gift of these candy "pills" for eau de butt... lol and a CD/MP3 player(which is what I was flipping about because I know the cost 'cause Jon has the same one and I was with him-jon-when he bought it) and the last and my favorite gift... a picture of Tom and I, taken on the night of my birthday celebration. It's in a black/silvertrim frame, it's a black and white and we have our arms around each other, and hehehe we both look good in it. But it's so special, because I know it meant a lot to Tom to do it... he hates getting pictures taken and he doesn't like people to have pictures of him etc etc, so it was a heartfelt gift and I love it. I don't think anyone has ever given me a gift that has meant so much to me. I know, I know... all gifts are "special", but his had meaning and love and thoughtfulness <-- being key! and it touched a place in me that I don't think any other gift I've received has had the same effect. :) Love you, Tom.
gotta go... Jon wants his computer... |

So I went to write this post Monday... on Dion's computer, and I was all inflamed at the time, so it was much better and a much more brutal writing technique than I normally use. However... Dions computer kept mysteriously shutting down, and it wasn't helping my anger, so I gave up the post. Now I'm back to update, but won't go into as much detail as I was going to. Here is the gist of things:
Management found out about Tom and my relationship. We were given an ultimatum. Either Tom had to resign as supervisor and go back to data entry, or I had to switch to day shift. Obviously, I was quite adament that Tom not give up his position, and so I went for a meeting with head supervisor and HR. I can not Stand the HR chick... god dammit I dislike her. I thought HR is supposed to stand for Human Resources!!! How did this heartless bitch get on there???(in my previous post I was refering to her as TCBSHB - The Cold Blackened Shrivel Hearted Bitch) Grrr....
Anyway... no details because I've lost the verve to give them, end result is that I will be working days as of November 8th, although I requested a few days vacation so, hopefully, I won't be working days until Remembrance Day. And all the way through, I do believe I will be looking for a new job. |

Today is my birthday!!! Although it's fun to know it is, it really doesn't seem any different then any other day. I'm lazing around reading a book, mostly with Tom curled up behind me, with his arm around me. He's napping because he's got a really bad headache. I think it's because of lack of sleep over the last few days, and probably lack of "proper" nutrition... MacDonalds doesn't count as real food.
I enjoy a good lazy day, and like to have at least one a week... because last weekend was so go go go, this day, although it's my birthday, has become my lazy day. I'm about to look up Yuk Yuk's and find out what time the show starts and maybe I'll do that with Tom tonight, if he's feeling better. If not, I'm content to continue lazing around, indulging myself with reading, silk, and sugar...perhaps some CSI, or a movie.
Yesterday was great fun. Went to Johnny Farina's, where all 12 confirmed people were there. There was Myself, Tom, Jon, Peter, April, Nathan, Haytham, Mike, Ive, Kevin, JP and Sophie. As I figured, the two groups who knew each other, kind of split into two sections, but the people in the middle(who didn't know each other) all kind of merged, so it was ok. I was a little worried about that because I didn't want to seem as though I was neglecting either group. But dinner went off without a hitch. Hopefully, everyone else had as good a time as I did.
Then the first seven ppl went to see The Grudge. It was originally planned that we were going to see it at the World Exchange, since it was so close, but we left dinner so late that when we got there, it was sold out. We ended up going to the AMC in Kanata to see it. For Posterity, here I must mention the ladies bathroom at the AMC. It is HUGE!! I'd say it's probably bigger than Jon's whole apartment....but maybe not. I kept expecting to see some act come and perform in the large, open, mirrored area. The movie itself was alright... very very creepy. So creepy that I'm very glad to not be alone right now, and it was task enough to walk into Jons room without having the lights on. I'm eager to go back to bed and Tom.
We all came back here, except for Haytham, did nothing more than laze about talking and taking pictures. Peter drank and Tom and I started to drink, but in the end didn't bother. I'd only slept for a few hours on Friday, since I was busy the rest of the day, so I was fading pretty quickly at the end of the night.
I got a card from my mom(she's pretty ticked that the present didn't come with it... watch out Canada Post people if it doesn't get here soon) Sophie made me a pair of earrings, which I really like. Peter brought me some pretty flowers, and April and Nathan got me a gorgeous smelling candle...the kind in the big bottle...which I can't wait to burn in the new place, it smells so grand, a bottle of Smirnoff, and a gift certificate to Wally world, for apt. stuff, since they didn't know what I needed. lol.. Jon is currently out shopping for my present, and yes I know this as he told me so before he left. And I will soon find out what Tom got me. I also got ecards from my Aunt Nancy and my cousin Dave :)
Topper of my Friday night, Lorraine called.... Tom and I are accepted in the apartment we applied in!!! and we got the highest we could get, the 15th floor. We're both pretty happy with that. And while there is no indoor pool, there is an outdoor, which I'm happy with. The kitchen is a little smaller than I would like, as you guys know, me in my kitchen is where I'm happy. But there is a dining room off of it, where I'll put the table, so it'll just be an extention of the kitchen. I just can't wait to get in and be putting things away and arranging things and discovering what needs to be bought :D Oh I can't wait..... |

It's my Birthday tomorrow!!! :)
I can't wait!... well... mostly for tonight. Going to Johnny Farina's, which serves delicious cheesecake, with anywhere from 12(for sure)-17 people. Then afterwards some of us are going to see The Grudge, which I can't wait for. Possibly coming back to "my" place to drink and stuff afterwards.
Tom is having a crazy time with my present :P I have no idea what I want, so it's difficult to tell someone what you want when you don't know...lol...serves him right, since he wouldn't tell me what he wanted... although he claims he was "easy" to shop for *rolls eyes* riiiiiiiightttttt.......
For those few of you that have known me since young childhood, my hair is now back to my original, babyborn haircolor, which was almost jet black. I think I'm going to leave it at this color and not dye it again. And yes, it's black, not that blue/purple tint crap.
Tom and I went to apply at the Oaks today. Hopefully we'll find out later on today if we got it.... oh my I hope we get it. Lorraine said there was no reason we shouldn't get it, but I'm such a worrywort. And I'm pretty sure I might be able to get a kitty or two :D
So it boils down to this.... I'm worried about the apartment, but not extensively.... I'm excited, it's my birthday tomorrow, I'm really happy and I"m in love. Doesn't get much better. |

So again... it's been a while since I posted... no long stories... just quick updates
~ Last Friday, went to Thanksgiving dinner at France and Ali's... had a blast... mostly. Guys played twister in the girls bra's(on the head, or if they fit on the chest over the shirt... best comment was You girls put these things on everyday?) Martin re-enacted F & A's sex life with a barbie and a brett hart figurine(which was about half barbies size, which worked perfectly for him)...eventually went off topic and threw in a hoola guy to make it dirtier :P that was hilarious.
~ Didn't really do much for the rest of the week, I don't think...
~ Friday was going to look at a Minto apt. but we got there late, and got screwed out of the appointment, and instead of asking if we wanted someone else to show us around, they asked if we wanted it on another day... we said No Thank You! Sooooo... pretty sure we're applying at the Oaks... maybe today.
~ This past Saturday, went to France and Ali's wedding...which was alot like watching a foreign movie without subtitles, since it was all in french. Afterwards Mike, Ive, Dave and I went shopping for a card, since we all forgot to do that, and came back to my place so Ive could put the ribbon she bought on the gift she and Mike bought. When we were done that, went to the World Exchange Center and got some pics of us, then we went to a dinner with some of the people that were at the wedding..there were like 24 of us... I knew about half that... couple of them I didn't even talk to(not meanly, just didn't) Afterwards went to the reception, where I had a blast and danced my feet off, "slow" danced twice, once with JP and the last slow dance with Dave(my cousin).
~Sunday morning, Tom came over when the buses started. Spent some time together, then went to sleep. Woke up an hour after I wanted to, and even then didn't want to crawl out of bed, but still did...went to meet Dave at Heart and Crown for an hour before work. Lot more ppl there this time then last time we saw him off... Ive, Gordon, Mike, Wei and Esther, Frank, Beatrice(never met before) and guy I don't know his name.
Other than that I think my life's been pretty boring as a spectator sport. I've realized that I need a keeper! Think I'm going to start some sort of savings account that I can't really touch without any hassle, because those of you who know me know that I procrastinate doing things that take that much effort, so if I have to do things to access the money, I probably won't go to the trouble, unless I really need it. I should have Way more money saved then I do but in retrospect, I wasted a lot of it on frivolous things... which in a way I regret... I could have been more smart about it... but there were somethings I needed to waste it on, somethings I felt like wasting it on, and somethings I should have just slapped myself for. I've been eating out Way too much... was drinking crazily for a month or two which was a huge drain on money. But now that I'm going to be in my own place again, I will smarten up.
Once I have my own space, I won't need to eat out as much, because all the food in my apartment will be mine to access! No more of this "Is this mine?" or "Is this dish actually clean?" bullshit... God I can't wait. Not that Jon or Dion are bad about the food, I just tire of having to clean up the fridge because someone lets something get all disgusting. Plus I'll know all the dishes in my cupboards are clean, and won't have to search for food remains before I use them. Plus it'll be all my old stuff, and mixed with some new and some of Toms(whatever he chooses to bring) so I'll be back into familiar settings, where I can cook and bake to my heart's content, and know I have the dishes, clean dishes, I need to do it. I probably miss that more than anything, not living on my "own" and having to worry about leaving pots or whatever around for a day or two. And the comfort of having my own, familiar things around me again will make me feel so much more at home and at ease than anything. * rubs hands together in anticipation *
It's my 21st birthday this Saturday!!! Soon I'll be legal pretty much everywhere!!! Don't know what the heck I'm doing though :)... Going to see The Grudge with some people, probably on Friday night... perhaps including dinner as a pre-emptive b-day celebration. But last night Ive was demanding that I do something on Saturday, lol, so I'll probably be doing something then too... maybe no dinner Friday, but dinner on Saturday. Must send out mass email soon! Probably sometime today.
I don't like the cold, unless there is snow.
oh yeah.. .one last piece of info... Chris is an Uncle again... Tricia had a baby girl, Bailey Renee, on October 6th... which reminds me, I need to write Patsy and Fred a letter soon.
p.s. Why when I put my mood as content, does the damn mouse sleep?! |

I don't get it. This is the first weekend in a long time that both Jon and Dion are completely gone, and won't be here for a few days.... and I'm alone.
Went home from work by myself, went to sleep by myself, woke up by myself, went to France and Ali's by myself and now I'm back home, sitting, watching a crumby movie by myself. This is sucking. I know Tom had things he had to do and stuff, but it still sucks. I wish we could be all curled up together, but he's not answering the phone.
I really hope that nothing went wrong since the last time I talked to him last night. I hope both him and his mother are alright. He kind of sounded like there might have been something wrong last time we spoke. Either that or he'd been sleeping... which he wasn't.... he was talking to his mommie...
I don't want to be alone right now :( |

It's been a long while since I posted... ok.. so it hasn't actually..but it feels like it.
I'll go with the "bad" news first.
1)The place that I really liked...when I seriously and rationally thought about it, I had to rule out. It's not a problem for Tom, so it was me who had to wonder if I could afford to pay for it. I can, however it'd leave me fairly tapped out alot. I mean, I'd still have a couple hundred left over each month after paying every single bill, household stuff, groceries...etc etc... but really, that's not alot at all. So we're back to looking at the second although we're going to take another quick look around to see if anything else catches our eye.
2)Tom inquired about vacation for us all, for New Years... turns out they aren't allowing anyone to take vac. from Dec 1st to Jan. something'th... which totally isn't fair! It's bullshit... so not only am I not going to New York, but my back up, for going home for x-mas is also null and void. Right now, it doesn't seem realistic, but I know that when the holidays start creeping up, I'm going to get upset. This will be the first year I've ever been away from my family for Christmas, and depending on what Tom's doing, I might be completely alone on Christmas day :(
Good news/recent events:
1) Went to France's Bachelotte party last saturday.. played a few fun games, drank a bit, embarrassed the bride-to-be horribly(which was fun and she took it in stride) went dancing for the first time in months and I had such a good time. I miss having girlfriends to do things with. I"m glad I met these fantastic people.. Thanks Dave!
2) Although we haven't completely decided on a place yet, either way we'll be out on our own fairly soon. maybe within a couple weeks, or maybe not til the end of the month. Could have moved out sooner, but we aren't in any rush. Don't have to worry about my stuff being at the other place, Jon and Dion like the money, Toms ok where he is until a final decision is made. So, like everything nice and lovely going on, we're taking our time.
3) The Grudge comes out soon... appears to be very scary! Have a double date with Nathan and April to go see it. Getting excited which reminds me I need to find out with the "premier" is.
4) Jon heads to New York this weekend for something like 5 days, which means I get to take over his room for the time he's gone... Privacy is highly underrated! You don't know how good it is until you have none! Can't wait... cuddling through movies, relaxing... nothing we don't currently do I guess, but still no intrusions...yup can't wait!
5) France and Ali's wedding is in 10 days!!! I need to get my butt in gear and get them a wedding present ASAP. Might be going to their house this weekend for a Thanksgiving party, but haven't gotten the email so haven't been able to confirm if it's Friday or Saturday. Ive was supposed to email it to me, since Ali didn't have my email at the time of sending the email out, but she hasn't sent it yet... slow slow girl :P I should prolly email her for it.
6) While waiting for Tom to leave his house, I had a chance to send out a bunch of badly needed emails. I've been online so infrequently that most non-important emails got pushed back on the waiting list. Not that everyone who sends me an email isn't as important as the next, I've just pretty much got caught up with all the behindedness :)
7) Tom is on his way right now, and we're going to look at apts. online to see if there is anything else we might like to see before choosing The Oaks. Going to go shower, and I think I need to eat something.. I'm pretty hungry |

Been kinda busy lately... and just
plain ole not online. Been viewing apartments over the last few days...
the first 5 or so were C.R.A.P. They were just kind of like a joke. The
last few we went to see were much better.
They are pretty close to my old place, which is close to work. They
look more clean. The second one, I loved. Has a pool, gym, sauna,
whirlpool(which Tom says is a disease just waiting to happen), tennis
courts in the summer, close to the grocery store/shopping centers, and
it's just plain prettier... looks more secure and, I guess, a bit
"ritzier" or "plusher". But the kicker will be the price differences
between the two. The first one wasn't bad either, just without all the
amenities... but they're both nice, so either way it'll be fine.
Went to the Hershey Factory, Saturday, with April, Nathan, Tom, Jon,
Peter, Haytham and Aprils sister Stacey.Got WAY too much junk food.
Never going to lose weight this way! Afterwards went drinking at
Aprils, played some Tarneeb, which Nathan and Tom and I(rotating tom
and I) pretty much won... didn't quite finish because they started
playing Nightmare. It was all fun and games until I tripped out. If I
didn't know any better, I could have sworn that I was on some weird ass
drug.
Other than that, talked to both Heather and Sam the other day. That was
interesting. I think in a month or so maybe a bit less, Tom and I
will probably do something with Heather and Mark. Maybe around my
birthday. Thanksgiving is the starter Holiday, and then my b-day, then
Halloween, then Christmas, and finally New Years. I love this part of
the year!!!
We, Tom and I, decided that with the move, and a couple other things,
we decided not to head to New York for Thanksgiving long weekend, as we
had planned. But I think we might be going down for New Years!!! AFTER
my 21st birthday, so I'll be able to drink there and stuff!!!!
SWEETTT!!!!! So hoping and praying that Tom can get the time off... and
I think if April and Nathan can get the time off, they'll come too, but
I'm not completely sure. I'm so hoping this all works out!
So since the trip to NY was postponed, I was thinking about France and
Ali, because they invited us to their place to party and have dinner
with friends, sometime around Thanksgiving. And they are getting
married the week after that. I can't wait to go... I'm going to have to
get them a wedding present very soon. And a new dress or something.
Don't know yet what I'm going to do for my birthday *shrugs* I'd like
to do something fun, but I can see just doing nothing... who
knows....we'll see what arises...
Halloween... If I'm in my own place, I want to decorate just a tiny bit
*blushes*.. just a few small spider webs and a pumpkin, or something...
:D Holidays are great... getting a little giddy :) Hope Tom likes
holiday spirit :) hehehe... I'm definitely going to have to get some
Mistletoe around christmas :D
Holy... my butt cheek is asleep!

Haven't really done anything of note recently, so this is just a quick update to say Hey, I'm still alive.
Spent the weekend sleeping, eating and just chilling out. Tom and I had a talk and it's all been finalized... we are moving in together for certain :) *claps hands* I'm so excited. I can't believe things are progressing this fast, but I'm happy and comfortable with it. So now the looking for a place comes into play... this is the big pain in the ass, but at least I'm not alone in looking for one now. hehehehehehehehehehe*excited giggle* |
