Why does it seem like every morning I am running out the door with a piece of toast in one hand and tea in the other rushing to the bus stop but then I am always about 15 minutes early for work. Why don't I just take me time? I don't know, I have this thing that I have to be out the door at quarter to 8 and I wake up at 7 and there is only so much you can do in 45 minutes, especially if after the shower you like to lie on your bed and do nothing for awhile and have recently started to blow dry your hair because you are sick of it being frozen when you get on the bus. It'd be nice if it wouldn't freeze seeing as it's now the beginning of April and this is when it's supposed to start to get warm out.
I had a really great weekend. And I'm in this sort of state of mind that I feel like I haven't been in a long time and I'm happy. I can genuinely say that I am feeling really happy. Nothing changed really, nothing big and monumental anyways.
Carly came home. I got to spend a few hours with her on Sunday and it was so great to see her again. I feel like when you don't see someone for 5 months and they were off somewhere really great then there is so much to catch up on and so much to talk about and I could have spent days with her. I will soon enough, although I am going to be going to the lake for the summer and she will be in the city so i won't get to see her as much as I would like.
Another friend of mine also came back from being in Guatemala. I feel like I have posted this already. He's back and we met for coffee on Saturday I think. It was really nice. It feels all back to normal when all of your friends come back and you can see them again.
Other random things today:
back to my usual cup of orange mango decaf tea in the morning :)
I might need to buy more soon.
carly had boots made for her in vietnam. I need those, this way they could fit over my leg...how nice it would be.
My ipod is coming today!!
I wish that I could put more pictures up on here but i always write these at work.
Will update later tonight when I procrastinate while studying.

a diva is a female version of a hustler
Dariane is coming out Friday for the weekend and I am unbearably excited for this!!
She's also bringing the old dog.
Almost as excited about that.
That means we get to take him for walks and he gets to make my apartment a big mess and it'll be so great.
I love her, her being Dariane and I can't explain my excitment. I should try and get Monday off for this.
PS my titles come from whatever song I am listening to at the same time. And whatever line i hear when I'm writing the title.

Dark as the black cracks in the ground
My computer is not doing the things that I want it to do. It’s on a bad connection. Shockingly I don’t have anything that I want to blog about in particular so this will another series of my rambling. Not a big deal I don’t think.
There are two police officers across the street from where I am and they are incredibly attractive and I just felt like a total stalker for about 4 minutes but they were hot and I enjoyed the eye candy for a little while. Then I thought about the fact that Dariane will be working with some incredibly attractive but some not so attractive men and jealous of her for the hot men..in uniform. I seriously question when I developed this attraction for a man in a uniform. It's strange to me, somewhat foreign but awesome at the same time and Im not going to complain but rather just enjoy.
This procrastinating is going to be deadly for me. There just seems to be so many more exciting things to do and people to email, rambling to do when I should be studying. It's okay though, I'm comfortable with this. I have all day, well until about 1 to study. I could study later today, I suppose, I just feel so much more productive during the morning, which is when I usually write these blogs.
I am putting serious thought and serious ideas and planning into moving to Australia for a while next year. Go in September and work for a while. Live there, enjoy the lifestyle. Something totally different from what I am used to I want to think and just grow. A friend of mine told me my life is safe and I like things that are comfortable and that's totally true and not something I have thought of before. But hell, I've never left the praries I just think about it all the time and thinking is not doing and I dont want to be a planner I want to be a doer and moving to australia and working and living is very very doable. I just need to save some money. A lot of money so that's what I am going to work towards in the summer. I have a goal and an idea and I'm excited about it. about the opportunity that this could be. I'm scared to go alone but I know someone down there that would be able to show me the ropes. I am excited for this.
Okay, now I must study. I just remembered that I had an assignment due tomorrow that I should get started on. but tomorrow is monday which means I am back to work which means I have to find ways to pass the time and that includes blogging so there will be more posts this week :)

You black and white needs a little bit of red!
2 for 2 so far. Go me!
Yesterday I went to future shop to return the mp3 player that I bought, the one that he told me would work with a mac but then definitely said ON THE BOX that you needed windows to make that thing work. I sure haven't seen to many mac's with windows that's for sure. When I was there, I was talking to the girl doing the return for me, just joking around with her about the st. james store, (where I bought it from, I returned it to the store on pembina) and things like that. I like conversations with random people, people at the grocery store, people you buy your coffee from (or in my case tea), people you see walking down the street. I just think that every now and then it's important and it's something I want to try and do more of. Yesterday I was walking home from work wearing my mukluks (my feet were soaked) and this guy said to me, "aren't your feet going to get wet and cold" and then I don't remember exactly what I said back to him but then we stopped and chatted for 5 minutes or so and it was great. Great to just stop and talk to someone who's life is not connected to yours in any way and for just a short time can connect and then disconnect just as fast. I think the world might be a little bit better if people stopped to just talk to each other, engage in some healthy conversation.
Okay, off on a little tangent there. The point of me saying that I returned my mp3 player is to mention that I finally caved and bought myself an ipod. I lasted way longer than I ever thought I would and that I had completely avoided it when i bought that mp3 player, but low and behold that's not what turned out happening. I didn't buy anything from future shop though. I went home and checked out the apple site and wound up ordering a lovely 4gb nano that's a lovely purple color. I can't wait to get it.
There's a photo of D and I from the summer. It's pretty, I'm a fan of it, mainly because check out that tan. It's pretty stellar I must say so myself. And also because we of course look lovely in it. And because I miss her and love her and I can't wait until I see her next. Also she passed her POPAT, which is some fancy, you have to be really strong, police officers test and I am incredibly proud of her!
I've slowly started to get her grad gift ready. It always takes a little more energy and time than I have but I love giving presents, especially ones that mean something and the gifts that I have her this year for christmas and her birthday seriously lacked in originality and meaning. Her gift for high school grad took a lot out of me. It's a good one and I am happy to have so many memories with her.
Other news since my last post...
hmm..
there's really nothing, I watched Twilight last night while I was nursing my sickness and trying to get better. It was good, but the movie is never as good as the book and I loved the book. I didn't appreciate the washed out strange coloring that it was done in either, maybe they were trying to be artistic.
Tressa is bringing me the last book in the twilight series. I think i'll be sad when it's done. It was good, I love getting really into a series that's not very long. I like it when they end, and I don't have to continuously wait for the next book to come out. I feel lucky to be able to read them all in order, as slow or as fast as I want.
I think I have a slight addiction to tea. Even though the majority of the time I have decaf tea anyways it's just nice to have a nice warm cup of something in the morning. This morning I didn't have time to make it so I figured I would just go a day without it. Big mistake, when I got here I went to starbucks right away and spent money to get myself some. Bad move, bad move. It's helping my cold.
Okay, back to work I go but this is awesome. I feel positive about this blogging thing. It's nice to ramble on and on. Let me know if it's a little too rambly?

This ain't no April Fools.
This is what i'm talking about from yesterday...Danny on idol. He is so talented.
April 1st and I am updating. That's a really really good sign. That means I'm starting off the month with an update and that's shocking. And no, this is not an April Fools Day joke. Not at all.
I have the flu and I feel awful. I haven't been sick in a long time. But my body just feels like it won't move. I feel like I can't take proper steps and every step takes this incredible energy that I don't have. I'm also incredibly dizzy and have the worst sinus headache of my life. This is me complaining about being sick because I never get sick and I hate it when people complain about it, but I understand. This is such a crappy feeling. I am going home early from work..at 1. And at that time I will take a bunch of nyquil...put on a pot of chicken noodle soup and hopefully fall into a peaceful blissful sleep for hours after that, and then wake up tomorrow and feel fresh and revived.
Stellan, the little baby that I mentioned in my other post a while back, still is in the hospital and still sick. This really breaks my heart. I hope he gets better soon because I can't even imagine how stellan feels or how his mom feels. I pray that that babe gets better asap. He is getting a blood transfusion right now which means that he's gotten to the point in his sickness where this is necessary. Not good at all, but I have hope that he'll be okay in the end.
Hmm..what else is new and blue in my life. School's over, I have three more learning logs to hand in which is basically just a paragraph that needs to be handed in every week and then exams on the 16th and 22nd and then I'll be done third year, and I can't believe it. Only one more year and maybe I'll be graduating :)
