Movie Nights

I'm feeling much better today, I am back at work. Yesterday was a pretty boring day of watching TV, making some taco salad, and playing with Lexis. James and I did go on a little date last night, to the wonderful Java Express. I love that "Neighbourhood Cafe". I love going on little dates, and that was a spur of a moment one, which are the best. After that we went home and watched a movie together. We watched Friday Night Lights. Good movie. James did like how it was shot, close up to the faces and kind of shaky. Tonight I think we will watch another sports movie, but I forget the name. Movies are my new favorite things. Here are the movies I have watched since last weekend:

• Drumline (LOVE IT!)
• Walk the Line (Good)
• Friday Night Lights (Good)
• .... I think that's it......

Ill let you know how my movie is tonight.

I have no great things to tell you today. Since I am recooperating (please ignore my bad spelling if it's not spelt right). I am very tired today and would love to be in bed watching another movie!

Emergency Room last Night

Hi Friend

Sorry that I didn't blog yesterday. It was a crazy day/night. Yesterday afternoon while I was working my right eye kind of went blind!!! I had to wear my sunglasses in the office, it was pretty scary. I went home and decided to needed to lie down because my head was starting to throb... well by the 7:30 pm I was in the worst pain that I have ever been in. I could not have any lights on in the house. Any light at all hurt myeyes. All in all I ended up in the emergency room, with high blood pressure and a tempeture, and they took me right in. Right away I was put on an IV, and later on I had my blood work done. I was getting anxious to go home by around 11:30 pm because the medicine had kicked in. But the doctor wanted to do a CT Scan. I declined the CT Scan (because I had just met someone who had been waiting since 2 pm to get the results back) but promised to return in the morning if I still had a headache.

This morning I woke up feeling better. My head is groogy, but it does not hurt. I think it was just a migrane, but it was the worst pain I had ever been in. My wonderful friends at work gave me the day off to recoperate, so that is what I am doing.

9/11... We Remember

You blog readers are hungry this morning for my thoughts! Forget that I have nothing to say at all or that my mind is blank, you want something!

Can you believe that it has been 5 years since the World Trade Centre attacks happened in New York City? I can remember being the first to wake up in our house 5 years ago, turning on the radio and hearing the morning DJ say a plane had crashed into the world trade center building. I ran upstairs and told my dad we were going to war, little did I know.

We watched the television all morning. Our eyes glued to what was happening in downtown Manhattan. Our home-ec teacher let us keep the TV on during sewing class. Then the second tower fell. The rubbel, papers, building material all came falling down... people running in all directions.

I heard this story once, I am not sure if it is fact or fiction, about this business man in regina who was on a video conference with a company who worked in the world trade center building. The Regina man saw the plane coming towards them in the window and yelled at them that a plane was coming, and then it crashed. Can you imagine what that poor man was thinking.... Who does stuff like that?

5 years later, look where we are. A war is raging on the other side of the world. The USA will not back down, yet keep spending money they don't have. They send young men & women over to fight a war on a terrorism, but at who's expense. I am a proud American... but I think many people are beginning to see a different side of the US gov't. Why are they spending billions/trillions of money on war, yet have not even helped the people who suffered in their own country from the Hurricans?

But today we remember those affected by 9/11, you are not forgotten.

Life

Time flys,
fast.
Things change,
quickly.

Been married for 2 yrs,
I feel old.
Lexis is 2,
14 in dog years.

Would love a baby,
not for a while.

I miss my family,
mom and dad come nov. 9
Looking forward to Christmas,
It's my christmas!

Love my new job,
stepped out of my christian bubble.

I like church again,
good to be back in the groove.
I like the people there,
they keep me accountable.

Lexis sees herself on the computer,
she jumped at the screen and barked at it.

She is smart,
she learned to open the screeen door.
She likes to escape,
we find her in the front yard.

Regina will be lonely again now,
the friends have returned to their normal cities.
Summer is weird that way,
things feel normal for 3 months,
but really it's not normal at all.

Can't believe how much times flys,
and how quickly things can change.

Nancy and I were talking,
she said sometimes she wishes she was a kid again.
I feel that way too sometimes,
when I think of all the things I am responsible for now.

When you are a kid you have no worries,
mom and dad worry for you.
I can remember my dad saying once
"we are going to move to the poor house",
that's they only time I ever thought about worrying.
But I knew he was kidding.

How quickly time flies,
keep your eyes open....
you don't want to miss life.

Weekend Blogging

Why does no one blog on a Sunday? It's like the blog world does not exhist at all on weekends, we are a Monday - Friday world. I think it is because many people blog at work to waste time, maybe that's what I do....

Tim says I should blog on weekends, so I will give it a try. Not much stuff that is exciting happens on the weekends though. So maybe this won't be that exciting. Let's see what I did this weekend:

1. Slept in till 12:30 pm yesterday
2. Sat around the house
3. "Surfed the web"
4. Attempted to study for my course but got VERY frustrated with the tax and mortgage questions
5. Watched the movie "Walk the Line", good movie. I love happy endings
6. Rented Pizza

Today I have:

1. Gone to church
2. Had the church BBQ
3. Went to Superstore
4. Bought Jackson a birthay present
5. Now I am waiting to go to the birthday party.

Pretty boring weekend....

Blogging like Rosie

Rosie blogs like this
let me try it out.
Short and sweet
straight to the point.

Met a Mounty yesterday,
came from New Foundland.
He likes to drink,
lots of Newfy's do.
He had a strong accent,
I want an accent now.

What should my accent be?
I think I will make one up.
My sister has the same accent for every country,
She always sounds East Indian.
It's great.

Going to a spa party tonight.
I love Spa Parties.
I'm nervous because I don't know anyone.
My biggest fear is being alone.
I'm also scared of spiders.

Sammy went home for the weekend.
He totalled the car on the way home.
Hit a deer,
poor deer (and Sammy).

Sammy also broke his cell phone.
I gave him mine.
Now I have a new Razor phone.
It's cute.

Just got some pics from Lyn.
I miss summer already.
I'll post some pictures.
Later.

Fingerprinting Today!

Today I finally did something that I had been putting off for some time now. I went down to the police office and got fingerprinted. Don't freak out, I didn't committ a crime or anything, I have to get this done for becoming a Real Estate Agent! Here is how the procedure works.

I plugged the meter and then walked up to the Station. Checked in with the gaurd and then made my way up to the second floor. There I talked to this man who sounded like Napoleon Dynamite, seriously! So they took all my I.D. and then told me to wait till an officer was ready. I kind of felt weird sitting in this waiting area. I felt like I had done something wrong, this sense of guilt came over me! Finally they told me that an officer was waiting down the hall.

I walked down the hall and into this small room. This room was all metal (why are most rooms in police stations metal and cold) and it was very "unfriendly." The nice man (Sgt. Wallace) introduced himself and stood up to shake my hand. I opened my mouth and said "Sir, you are SO TALL!!!". He told me he was 6'10", a giant! I am only 5'1", so I looked like a midget to him! But he was nice and rolled my fingers in ink and told me how to make them loose so he could roll them properly.

When this was all done I asked him if criminals come to this room to get fingerprint. He said that they did and then went on to tell me about all the crazy sick people who had sat in the exact chair I was sitting in. I definetly used the Anti-bacterial gel when I was done in that room!!!!! I still feel like I caught something sitting in that room and touching the counter.

All in all it was a great, fun learning experience. Thanks to Sgt. Wallace for a good time and good stories but I hope I won't see you again soon.

Canadian Idol

Well.... I didn't see that one coming!

I have been watching Canadian Idol, like any true Canadian should, and what happened last night shocked me! The final three Idols (Eva, Craig, and Tyler from SK) all were singing the Standards style of music. Eva did amazing as always, Tyler also did great but Craig was not good at all! I think most people thought that Craig would be going home last night, in fact, I think even Craig thought he was going home. But then Ben announced that Tyler was going home!!

WHAT HAPPENED CANADA!!???

I am not saying that Tyler should have won the show, because I think that Eva will win hands down. But Craig??? Tyler was clearly better. I even phoned in 2x to get some votes in for Tyler, but still some how Craig beat him.

To Tyler:

You had a great run and I think that you should have been in the final "dog fight"... but I know you will still have some sort of career and I will download your songs onto my ipod.

Summer Ending

WOW!

Isn't hard to believe that summer is pretty much (or basically is) over! It's hard to believe it is already Sept. 5.... that means 1 month till my birthday!!! This year I had an excellent summer. I got to go and see my parents in June, started a new job in July, went boating and camping in August... we were busy! I always love summer, it's my favorite season. I just feel good in summer! I love reading on the deck or playing in the backyard with Lexis. Summer is just amazing!

Now comes fall, another season that I like but it is probably my third favorite season (Summer being first and Spring being second). But fall is good because we have my birthday and Thanksgiving, two very important occassions. I love the colours of fall, especially with the fields here in Saskatchewan. And Thanksgiving means you can EAT, and EAT, and EAT! MMMmmm....

But soon Fall turns into my least favorite season... WINTER! Last year was my first winter that I didn't mind. I rode my first snowmobile and even did a skiing excursion. The snowmobile was quiet fun, I enjoyed it. Lexis even rode on it and then had fun chasing the mobile on the ice.

Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend, probably the last one of the summer. Before we know it Christmas will soon be here!

Happy Birthday Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!


Today is my mom's 47th (Shhh!) Birthday! My mom lives in Vancouver Washington, so I will not have the pleasure of celebrating it with her... I wish I could!

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday Mom! I love you :)
