This may turn into a half workout/diet blog but at the same time still serve it's original purpose which is to let family and friends know what's going on in my life.
The reason that it might turn into a workout/diet blog is because i really need to get my ass in gear. Summer is coming and I'm going to be at the lake which means that I'm going to have to be in a bathing suit. That and I just feel better when I'm working out, when I'm doing things.
Dariane got me some weights for christmas and I have been using them off and on contrary to what she believes but I'm going to start lifting them every other day. Hopefully this helps out. On those days I am also going to start doing an hour of yoga and an ab routine. On the opposite days I want to start running I think. I'll have to start with a walk/run routine but I really do enjoy it when I do it so that might be what I do. It will also get me out of the house and outside. Now I just have to figure out where I want to run.
I'm not going to tell you all how much I weigh only that it's too much and I'm going to write it down and keep track of pounds per week that I lose. Maybe I'll even let you know about those.
I also have to start eating better and that shouldn't be too difficult for me. I just have to make a conscious effort and stop going for nachos and drinks a few times a week.
This is it guys...March 3rd, 2010...one year from now I want to weigh 128 pounds and I could do this, i really could I just have to stick to it. OK..ill write more later this just all dawned on me and I had to share it.

Beach, Long Islands, and sun sun sun
There are a lot of birthdays in February...a good portion of people I know are born in this lovely romantic month. Which means they were conceived in June. Start of summer and people get frisky? (favorite word ever!) Either way, two of my near and dear friends had their birthdays this month, a mere two days apart. It was excited but it's also meant a lot of parties and a lot of money spend. We had a pirate party which I've posted about and we had a lovely formal night for Ashley's birthday.
Having these parties means I have to clean up, and get things organized and make sure that people are entertained. The pirate party I wasn't too good at making sure everything was running smoothly. In fact, I wasn't very good at making sure anything was even happening. I was just there, enjoying myself, until I had to go to the hospital with blood gushing from my head. From then on, I had no idea whatsoever what was going on at home because I was quite far from that place.
So we had a good time, ate some delicious chicken fajitas, splendid ice cream cake and then drank the night away...well everyone else did. I stayed pretty sober...well I sobered up when 10:00 came around.
This was the three of us on our safeway run to get some mix. We found the most amazing drinking glasses. Oh they brought entertainment throughout the night. Although they really weren't that functional.
The day after was definitely a lazy day. A day where we did absolutely nothing but laid on the couch. Well no I mean that's a lie..I got called at 8:30 in the morning because the person that was supposed to open didn't show up and so that meant second cup wasn't open and Teddy called the only person that would answer their phone..ME!!
So I went to Second Cup for three hours and sat around..got paid to sit around. It was lovely, even though inside I was pretty much fuming. But that's not blog writeable unfortunately. I think people get fired for things that they write on their blog.
We got the cabin for the summer...and I got my job back! Which means I will be going to Clear Lake for the summer and i am so so excited for this! It means one more amazing summer...where I will make an amazing amount of money and get to lay around on the beach and get a good tan. and hike and swim and bike and run and play and do absolutely nothing but hang out. If you could see me do a happy dance I would do it for you.
Okay homework as per usual is calling me...even though I am lying and I probably won't do it. In the words of Katie Strath...Peace Out!

Beautiful
I had this moment the other day when I was talking to my sister and something really hit me. But let me rewind to the beginning first.
My sister and I have always been incredibly close. For the majority of my life, or the part of life that I've been old enough to remember it's always just been my mom, my sister and I. And we've all been really tight. I remember when I was little getting up at 6:30 in the morning because it was my responsibility to get Dariane and I to school on time every morning and make our lunches and all that stuff. It was also my responsibility to get us home after school. I remember one day we thought it would be a good idea to stay up on the highway and throw rocks at cars. That was until this guy pulled over and came to our house. That wasn't one of my best moments as the responsible one.
Time went on and we grew up and there's never been a time in our lives where we haven't been close. There have been times where we haven't talked for awhile especially since we no longer live together but then when we do it's just like no time has passed. I'm so lucky that we were born close together (thanks mom!!) and that we've always had each other. No matter what shitty thing is happening or what really good thing is happening Dariane is always there for me and it's the best feeling in the world.
Now this brings me to the point of this, the thing that hit me the other day when we were talking. This last couple of years have been really big in our lives. A lot of things have happened that really could have screwed one of us up. There have been a lot of changes, a lot of ruined relationships, and a lot of just generally negative things in both of our lives. For a while I thought I had lost Dariane. There were things about her that just weren't the same and I didn't know how to talk to her about it. This was not the best time for me and probably not for either. I retracted, I was scared to talk to her, because I've always been able to fix things for her and I know that she's been able to fix them for me and I wasn't sure that I would be able to fix whatever was going on with her. And I really wish that I could take credit for making things back to normal but I can't at all. She did it all on her own and I don't know how but I'm proud of her for doing it.
This last year there have been changes in Dariane that I couldn't have ever imagined. She still is just as stubborn and brutally honest (we have a few too many similar personality traits I think) but she's this really great woman now. She's someone I admire for her incredible strength. When I talk to her lately, I can be going off on some crazy tangent ranting angrily and she'll level with me and calm me down and point things out that I never thought of. I feel like our relationship is completely different now.
She's my best friend and she's someone that I know will always be there for me no matter what. She might be moving away next year and that scares me way more than I thought that it would. I can't imagine what it would be like not having her this close. I've already kind of made up my mind that if she's in Alberta or BC, I'll have to join her out there. I can't imagine what it would be like when I have a family them not knowing their auntie Dariane (we might have to shorten that somehow), or being a short drive away from seeing her, or a cheap long distance phone call.
I'm so incredibly proud of her and everything she's done for herself this last year. I love her so much and I can't imagine what it would be like if I didn't have her and as I said when I thought I lost her I was pretty scared. I'm so lucky to have a sister like her and I know our friendship will only continue changing and getting stronger.
I Love You Lil D!!

These days go to waste like wine..
I added some music!! I will try and keep this updated with whatever my favorite songs are at the time. I made it so that it wouldn't automatically start because that could really screw someone over if they are reading it at school or work.
I'm trying to update this more often because I know that people read it now. Although I've slipped the last couple of days. I've been a little bit busy/exhausted. I had 3 hours of sleep and was up for 44 hours. the 3 hours was in the middle of all that. So I didn't have a lot of energy to do much of anything.
We had katie's birthday party this weekend. It was awesome!! So much fun and so nice to see all of the people that came out for it! I did have a little too much to drink but it's okay...I can do that every now and then.
Here is the awesome cake that Ashley and I made...fit for an awesome pirate party!!
Here's the birthday girl and Megan...before everyone arrived!
The girls from Souris!
Okay, I'll post a longer one with more words later on. Just wanted to post sometime and something with a few pictures is always nice!
Off to do some yoga and watch Planet Earth!

Combat Baby
You know when you email someone and don't proofread it before you send it and then you skip words because you're mind is thinking faster than your fingers work. This often happens to me and I will send something and then reread it and I'm skipping all these words and it makes you look stupid but really you're just thinking too many thoughts.
If I read it after I send it why don't I just take a second to read it before you may be thinking. Well I do that because if I reread it before then I might not send it because then I would reread it change it and censor myself. And those of you who know me well know I don't really censor myself at all.
I was just going over my course deadlines..may have to do a bit more work than I thought that I would have to do over this fine reading week. Which doesn't really matter to me because I never go to school anyways and I still have to go to university 2 days this week for work. My week is essentially the same, there will just be a lot less people at the university.
A really good job came up at the University that I'm thinking about applying for. I'm nervous and scares me to be thinking about my future the way I have been. I was planning on moving to the lake for the summer but now with this position if I get it it would be really good for my resume and a great experience. It would be a monday to friday 9 to 5 job which would be great but at the same time pretty "adult". We'll see what happens, who knows maybe I won't even get it. I guess I am an adult anyways so buckling down at some point will need to be done.
I'm going for sushi tonight with Ashley, and I haven't seen her in a long time. I'm very excited for this because I have about a million things to talk to her about. When I don't see her for such a long time they just keep piling up and then I forget about a lot of them. I'll remember them all in due time. And I am excited to hear about her last few weeks. It's been so long since we have talked...well really probably only about 2 maybe 3 weeks but when you go from seeing someone everyday to not at all it puts a shock on your system. Okay, maybe I will stop before I sound like a total nutcase.
I am going to be taking off a few days to go and visit Cassie, Evan, and ... SAM!!!! and then also hopefully spend a night at my sisters. I am so incredibly excited to meet Sam it's insane. That boy is going to be showered with gifts cause there are so many adorable things that I want to get for him!!
Okay I should probably get to work now...I can only put it off for so long before people start wondering what I am doing.
