Wooooooooooo

Today has been crazy! But, crazy in a good way. I was able to pick up a shift (3 hours) but nonetheless hours! Then I came home for a phone interview but forgot the time change so had to wait an hour!!! 

hahaha 

But then since I feel it went so well. I settled in for a little snack time :) 

So I had the best snack ever, (with  healthy twist -- whole wheat bread)

I had De Ruijter's Vruchtenhagel!!

 

This is the greatest treat ever, I was able to get some after years without!

 

My wonderful boyfriend took me to a little dutch shop up in Lawerancetown to get another treat but I also got this!!!! :D 

Isn't he sweet??

So I also decided since I have been unable to enjoy this for LIKE ever!!! I thought the whole world would wonder in the marvel of me eating and enjoying it's sweet delicious-ness!!! 

haha 

ENJOY!!!

Short Supply

Howdy,
I realize that this summer my ramblings have been in short supply; partly because not much has happened this summer - been days filled with work, reading, doing nothing, watching Anna and Joey, and drinks with Amanda :) Its been a decent summer, but nothing spectacular!

The coolest event was the Jess and Joe are moving to BC - Joe is there now and Jess will be moving in January :( But, they drove cross-country to move out there; and of course there was a stay-over in Ontario ... a little town to be exact. We then went to Canada`s Wonderland. Sadly it is no longer owned by Paramount Pictures so half the rides have been given new names! What confusion! I have been going on `Top Gun` for years and it is now Flight Deck! Poor Joe couldn't find top gun on the map!!!

And, last week, I did go and get my hair done!! For the first time in my life I went with more low-lights and less high-lights making it darker than my natural colour, which is exciting and I have to say I absolutely love it!

.... GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

Last Shift and the Party Begins

So I just finished my last shift and I am so excited that I have finished my final shift at the contact center now my summer can commence.
But afterwards it was still pouring rain and I missed my bus got soaked in the rain! But my good 'ol buddy Amanda helped me out! She came and picked me up! :)

We have a crazy rest of the week planned, tomorrow (Thursday) is my little shindig! All my friends are coming over and I am making Jello-shooters! But, before that I have an appointment to see Katherine at Remedy to get a spa pedicure!!

And my roommate A's little sister is up for a few days, and she has never been out in Hali, so we are going clubbing. Then, on Saturday night we are celebrating A's birthday!

I still am attempting to find a sub-letter and have to pack to head home. So, even though I am finished exams there is still stress ick!

One exam left to go!

I am so excited, I only have one final left - on Tuesday! Then, my house party on Thursday! Gonna be one helluva party! To celebrate the end of finals and so I can see all my friends/sisters before I head home for the summer.
But yesterday was an awesome day! I got a manicure done at Remedy with a FREE eyebrow shaping (I had a coupon from a promotion day!).
Didn't Katherine do an awesome job??? I love it! The colour is so fun!
The colour is called "Ladies and magenta-men" by OPI
The coolest thing is I took this picture myself!!
Aren't I talented!!

So, today I have to work - but not til tonight. So for the next few hours I should probably study and I plan to but just knowing the ick that is tomorrow makes me want to be extremely lazy.

Tomorrow - Saturday - day of fun or in my case would be day of study - I have to work ... not just any shift the stupid 11-7 shift! The worst possible shift! I have to get up early just to get there on time AND won't get home until late! Man this job irks me! Especially since when I started I specifically asked for none of the 8 hour shifts since I am a student. Grrrrrrrrrrr! Oh well I guess - the days til my last shift countdown is on!

Well I should probably get to studying!

p.s. A shout out to my BFF Steph! Its her birthday today!
(and she has to write a final but its her last one!)

Today ... just another work day!

Hey,

Well, today is my double shift day! yay! NOT! Anyways, I got up went to work for 6am and worked til almost 1:45pm. Then I came home and slept, isn't my life exciting these days?! nope! Anyways, just writing this little note as I am getting ready to go back to work and the function plated dinner for a golf tournament! (which are fairly boring) but on the bright side I won't be there crazy late! Hopefully, they'll leave fairly early and we'll get done setting up and such for tomorrows wedding not too late (if its not a complicated setting)! So I can be home and in bed! YAY! :D

Anyways, off I go looking like a penguin!!

lovin' bein' a penguin!

My New Friend

So at some point last week someone abandoned the cutest little tabby cat around my street. She (or he) is declawed so she is not a stray. I feel so bad for the poor thing its straving so I have been giving it some of my cat's food and its so sad she eats it all so fast! My dad gets annoyed cause now it won't want to leave! But, I cannot just leave it to starve! My mom has been feeding it occassionally as well. And says that she's going to call the SPCA but I hope she doesn't, hopefully we can find it a home. Or keep it, but that is unlikely, since we already have 2 cats and a dog! So if you're in the Ontario area let me know if you'd like a kitty! Its very cute! If I can find the camera I'll post some pictures!!
Anyways, I have decided to call it Tabby, since its a fairly gender neutral name, however, chances are since its declawed its fixed so it no longer has a gender.

As for work, I am kind of over the drama and am getting over it! Anyways I have three days off (today, tomorrow, and wednesday).
Today: did not do too much do to the lack of sleep due to the fact I got completely involved in my book and was up to the wee hours of the morning.
Tomorrow: I plan to be more productive and continue packing, and then mom and are going to Collingwood to visit some friends; so some good times!
Wednesday: I am going to clean the hall for mom and then meet Laura for lunch! > She's got the morning grill shift and since I am off it works perfect for our lunch chat sessions!

So I have started counting the days til I am back at school and moving into my new apartment with some pretty, sexy, kick-ass people!!

Work, work, work!!

Hi there!

Life has been crazy the last few days and its going to get crazier! Wednesday I closed the Grill ... sort of late but it wasn't too bad and made good tips! Then yesterday (thursday) I closed again, but then had to go and clean the bingo hall since it has to be done before saturday! So I got home late last night, now I am off to work in a little bit because I close AGAIN tonight! As if that was the worst part - well it isn't! I open tomorrow morning (saturday) at 6 am!!! I hope we close fairly early otherwise I am going to be extremely tired and irritable on saturday - not a good thing to be in the service industry! Also, you would think the people scheduling us would have a clue - they don't! They do this every week to Laura and I and we're frustrated!
However, that we are used to! Its not even the worst of it! Next week I have 3 days off! Which you're thinking well, thats great, make some plans hang out with friends - relax - NOPE can't because I need those hours because I need the money plus my days off are during the week and most of my friends work during the week :P
It gets WORSE!!
Next week, I have a a double split shift on friday >> open at 6am in the Grill then leave then come back to work a function at night and then close on Saturday .. so much for giving us one weekend night!!
Anyways, that's my rant for today! How employers are evil! How I wish life were easier sometimes like those people who never seem to have to worry about money or ever really work for anything. I know I know it builds character or what ever! :P
Oh, wells, I will just keep thinking about a quote I once read:

You are given the life you have because you are strong enough to get through it!

or something like that ... not a direct quote and I don't remember who said it or where I read it Sorry!

xoxo,
you know you love me!

Life continues ...

Hi there

So my life continues the endless days of working at the golf course; its not that bad today I should say I made great tips and am extremely excited about it since I can now pay my mom back for the jewelry she put on her credit card for me. I am not sure if I mentioned the jewelry party it was a while ago now. It was put on by a neighbour down the street by a company called SILPADA; I got a neat pair of earings and a garnet ring set (3 rings that you can wear together or sparately or in any combination really). I really love them and for once I think I will enjoy wearing rings > not to work at the moment ... would ruin them! lol
Also, my birthday passed as you know but I got to open my presents and it was awesome and exchanged presents with my friend Jo last night (she made me chocolates as part of my present which I am eating right now!) and went and saw The Dark Knight. It was awesome .
Anyways, thanks to all for the great gifts!
Monday was the civic holiday and my mom and I took my grandma shopping, it was seniors day shopping at Zellers. My grandma loves to go shopping; me too! lol Afterwards mom took us to lunch at Arby's ... one of my favourite fastfood joints in town.
My mom and I then started the wonderful task of starting to organize my stuff for my great trek cross-country for school. Since I had tuesday off I continued it and made it worse.
BUT ...

its always darkest before the dawn!!

So tonight, maybe I may continue the packing ... so far i have made a dent, a small one, but none the less I will not tarnish my progress!! lol
Anyways, I need to blog for 101 in 1001 since I have seriously neglected it then I think it'll be back to the packing and sleeping :)

so long,
you know you love me,

My Long Day!

Ok so I thought I was supposed to work at 6am today .. not such a hardship in the grand scheme of things. I get to work adn realize I am not opening but rather closing thus starting at noon! hahaha anyways good thing I was there because the girl who was scheduled called in sick and since next week I have three days off again I was oh so brillant and told my supervisor Lois I would just work the whole day!!! So I worked from 6am until 9pm!!! I am sooooooo tired! I'm not complaining because I need the hours but man was that aweful .. I just wish it had been a bit busier during the afternoon so it didn't make my shift go on forever! So I listened to Kenny Chesney's Shift Work after I got home then ran a bath a nice beatiful blue treasures of the Sea bath by Karma Sutra and oh man was it was read Cosmo and then lathered on grapefruit body butter!! I love pampering myself! Now I am going to read more of my book > Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot!! Then, its off to bed for this tired princess!

You know you love me,
tired but refreshed!
