Alrighty. So Friday didn't really go as planned at all. Haha. So I went to go and get my car washed before my oil change appointment and I didn't get to go and pick Blake up right after that because he was working late. So I went home and I had found out that my parents were coming up this weekend. YAY! :D So I was pretty pumped to hang out with them. So, instead of going out for dinner I cleaned up the house while Blake worked. Then we headed to Chestermere because that's where they were staying at my Auntie Susan's house. I hadn't seen her in awhile so it was a really nice visit... minus the burnt siding of the house. Haha. Long story. :P
So Blake wanted to work on Saturday morning so I made plans to have my parents come and finally visit/see our apartment/ teach me how to make guacamole. (YES! I didn't know how to make it. :P) and then we ended up playing a game of Scrabble to well into the night on Friday. Blake won against Thomas. Hehe.
So Saturday. Did the guacamole thing, did the showing of the apartment thing and we even threw in a little shopping. :D So that was fun. Then Blake and I got ready to go to Virgin Fest. :D It was a lot of fun but I didn't think there was going to be that many people, I have to say though I didn't really know what to expect. I've never been to any sort of festival so yeah, but I want to go next year already and just stay all day and sit on a blanket. :D I had a lot of fun on both days. The only part I didn't like was the hill. I almost died the first night up that hill. I guess I'm really out of shape because I was wheezing and sweating and I was really sore the very next day. Sunday was a lot different. We only came and saw our 1 band "White Lies". They sounded exactly like they do on the album and that always makes me happy. I have pictures!!! :D
PEARL JAM!!!
WHITE LIES!!!
After that show we headed back home and only had time to give Abby her food for the next couple days and headed to Craik, SK. Man that was a long drive to make in the dark! It's been crazy travelling from Calgary to Saskatoon/ Craik because I've been through places that I have never been before. It sucks because all we do it pass through them, so we don't really get a chance to see these places. :( Ohh!! We also saw a blood red moon, which only happens when there is a lunar eclipse. It's when the moon and the sun are in the earths atmosphere and it's just dust and pollution and the reflection of the sun that makes the moon red. But that's just me being super nerdy. Blake made me google it. :P

So we ended up getting into Craik @ 1:12 am. We didn't stay up long because no one was awake and because the funeral was in the morning and their were a lot of people that had to have a shower. Two bathrooms with like 50 people. Scary! Gotta wake up early or you don't get a shower.
So Monday morning. It was a pretty sad day. We were all just sitting around the house in the morning and it felt very odd to be there because Cindy wasn't. She was always chatty and outgoing and fun to be around so it was a strange kind of day. Then we all went to the church.
Cindy was a nurse and when we arrived we see all of her old colleagues dressed up in scrubs and the paper hats. It was really nice for them to do that. Then when we were in the church I couldn't really keep it together because "Uncle Donny" and Connie said some really nice things. Connie even read from Cindy's diary from when she found out she had cancer. It was pretty crazy. When we were going for communion, Blake's step dad Paul was walking beside the pictures that they had of Cindy there and everyone else walked by without tripping on them but Paul said he saw them and there was a distance for him to walk but as soon as he was right beside them he tripped. We all laughed and said it was Cindy getting back at Paul for something. Haha. After that we went to the cemetery, and well you know the deal. After all of that was said and done we headed back to the house and we all sat around and drank for the evening, telling jokes/stories and having good times. It was a late night for some. Haha. ie Blake

Tuesday is when we headed back to Calgary. Still a long drive but it doesn't feel as bad when there is the sun. So that was good. It's too bad we couldn't stay there all week. I would have loved too. Plus the weather in Saskatchewan is awesome right now. Anyways.. Blake and I split up the drive so that he could nap.. instead he worked. :P Lame. And we ordered pizza in. :D When we got in it was 6pm. So I got to watch SYTYCD Canada. Woo. Then we stayed up and watched Big Brother. It's getting pretty lame to watch online. It sucks that Blake paid for it for the whole time. After a couple of weeks we always get bored of watching it but oh well. Maybe we will learn our lesson next year. Haha.
So I'm back at work today. Feels like Monday but thankfully it's Wednesday. I'm not having a great day at work right now. My boss doesn't seem like her vacation worked with taking the stresses off and she's just as bitchy now as she was when she left. Oh well. Guess I'll deal with it for awhile but I'm going to start looking for another job because now that Blake knows that we are staying till March I'll need something more long term then till the end of September. Plus I don't want to work for this company anymore. It's not something I like so I gotta get out.
But I'm excited for tonight! Amanda, Lori and I think Karen are all going to be going to see Julie and Julia tonight. It's going to be awesome! :D Then hopefully Friday Blake will take me to see "The Goods". :D Well.. Lunch is almost over so better get back to work.
Well I guess I've got everything caught up since the last time. So....
Later days!
That was a lengthy post!
ReplyDeleteI could have told you there would be a ton of people, it was the same way last year - every outdoor festival here seems to be packed. Maybe because we go so long without them in between.
I think you should call the temp agency and get re-assigned ASAP. Tell them you'll stay on until they find someone else - but I'd say GET OUT OF THERE! It's making you and indirectly, me - miserable, cause I want to smack the living hell right out of her.
Oh I know. I totally will be out of there before the end of September. I can't handle working with her. She can be nice but it doesn't make up for the times when she's mean.
