... insert clever title here...

One of these weekends... I'd actually like to relax.

That was definitely not the case this past weekend.

Friday I was at work. My last day alone without Vinnie. Thank goodness he's back this week. Too much pressure when I'm by myself. After work, we went to the football game. It was actually so much fun. I didn't think it would be because I don't really care either way if BC Lions win or Calgary Stampeders win. But Calgary won. So at least the atmosphere was enjoyable. That and we had really terrific seats. Courtesy of Blake's co worker Harold. He has had the seats for I think he said 25 years. Crazy huh?

The traffic afterwards however was unbearable. The police were running the show because for some reason the lights were out. Lame. Oh well. We ended up getting home at 1130. Then passing out.

Saturday. I slept in. Yup. :D Till 1030/1040.. somewhere in between there I woke up. That was awesome. I did some laundry and by the time I was finished that.... well... it was time to head to Okotoks. We were going to go to this Rider Day thing at a pub there. But they ended up cancelling it this year. Oh well. No big deal. We ended up watching the game and drinking a few pilsners at Chris' house there. Lots of fun. The Roughriders ended up winning that game too. So all in all for sports. The teams that I would have liked to win.. did! :D

After the game we went for greasy bar food at the George there. I wish I had taken a picture. It looked exactly like Cheers. It even had a staircase for Kelsey Gramer to come down. Haha.

After the bar we headed back to Chris' place and Brandy and me ended up watching Chris and Blake play House of the Dead or something like that. I ended up having a nap. :P

By the time we got home it was 1130 again. Haha. Blake was tired... (from drinking) so he passed out. But I stayed up and watched SNL. Megan Fox was actually funny, and U2 totally broke the rules. You could tell that they were suppose to cut down their songs but Bono was like.. "No mate. I'm playing all night long." - or something along those lines. I made more dish cloths. :D It only takes me an hour and a half to make one now. :D I'm a fast knitter. :D

Also in other news, Mandy left for Vegas! I just hope she is having a wicked awesome time. But of couse she is because not only is she going with her bestest friend, she also is seeing Britney Spears. I hope she has taken lots of pictures. :D I'll find out when she comes home on Saturday... or more than likely I'll find out when she is alive on Sunday. Haha.

Sunday was awesome. Blake and I went grocery shopping. Came home and cleaned the house. Then we made dinner really early so that we could nibble on it all night. It's Blake's favourite thing to do if your wondering. We made scallop potatoes and ham and creamed corn. Yum! Then I made brownies. :D They turned out perfectly. They had just come out of the oven when our friends Dan and Rachel (the ones who moved to Victoria) came over. They had a race in Banff this weekend and Rachel has a citizenship test this week. Actually today. So hopefully she passes it! :D Good Luck Rach!

But the really awesome thing that happened this weekend was Rach and Daniel...... GOT ENGAGED THIS WEEKEND! It was such a cute story. He got up in front of a bunch of people on a mic and asked her to marry him. I was in tears when I heard this. It is so awesome for them.. Plus when I heard that he got the ring even before they headed out to Victoria that was just awesome. Back in May or something like that. :D

So besides the story of their engagement, we ended up playing Beatles Rockband all night. I got to play the drums finally. So much fun. I wish we had a really drum seat though. I think that's all we need and then we are set.

Anyways. Time to get to work. :P Later days!

blah blah blah.. what's new? :D

Time: approx. 3:00 pm
A week has passed. Whooo hoo right? Well I've been at my place of work for a month now. Yay!

It's been grand. Everyone I work with is super nice and they don't care that I don't know what is really going on yet. Everyone is still willing to help me out to try and figure things out. But it's mostly the accounting stuff that I have trouble with. But I think I'm getting the hang of things. :D My boss took the week off so that must mean that he trusts me to do things correctly. Let hope that I don't let him down.

So, this past weekend was fun. Specifically Friday. I went Thrifting with Amanda. I spent a bit of money and came back with some gems I think! We went to Goodwill, then to Walmart (not really thrifting there but I did get some things), then to VV Boutique. Blake was jealous that I went without him because he loves going thrift shopping. Next time I'll have to go with him. So, I'll hopefully I'll be able to account of everything I bought on my little shopping trip.

At Goodwill I found the book Hamlet (never read it but it's got all the good lines). I got a plain frame that was never used (really nice wood), a couple cat dishes. Total cost:$6.

At Walmart I picked up a shit ton of wool and knitting needles. I was crafting this weekend as well. Check it out! Total cost:$28. (There is more wool, I just haven't finished making them all. :D)

And finally at VV Boutique, I got a couple shirts for Blake, a shirt for his step dad Paul, a really cute kitty frame, a bread knife that was still in the package, so it's all good. And a cute pig statue. Total cost there $35.00.

I guess I progressively got into spending more money. I had a lot of fun. I'd definitely go and do that again. I like finding treasures!

Saturday. Blake and I went shopping. We got Wolverine! So good. We watched it that night! I can't wait to put it on my phone (we also got the digital copy)!! :D I got the Vampire Diaries book! I have already finished the first book. I can't wait for the 2nd. I'm going to go out and buy it when I get a pay cheque! It's definitely different then the show. Like.. the only thing that really is the same is the character names. But that doesn't really bother me. I kinda like it. I don't know how they decided to change it so much.. but it does make for good TV. :D

Sunday was a good lazy day. We went grocery shopping and then we came home and mostly chilled the day away. :D My favourite!

Then we watched the Prime Time Emmy Awards. I don't really remember watching them before, but Blake and I like a good award show on Sunday. They go at the perfect pace. :D It's not hard to keep up and it's not a big deal to miss it either... unless it's the MTV VMA's. Haha.

Monday was a very tired day at work. I was glad to go home. But I didn't end up sleeping like I wanted to when I got home. I watched OTH and then Gossip Girl. I also checked out the CBS line up. Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother were their hilarious selves. Accidentally on Purpose was actually hilarious! Ah... TV. Damn you.

Tuesday was good. I got all my work done pretty early in the day so of course the day took for ever! But at least I was able to just browse the Internet. I didn't even think about updating because... I knew that I was going out that night with Kimi!

I picked her up from her hotel... that was conveniently located right near my work. It wasn't out of the way or anything. :D So Then we go back to our place and we had a couple beers, and then set out to go to supper on 17th at an italian restaurant. It was really too bad that we had a shitty waiter. He was paying more attention to the table beside us. He only filled up my water glass once and then at the end of the night he gave us the wrong bill! Dick. So needless to say... on our bill that was about $100, he didn't get tipped very well. :P That's what you get for being a jerk to former waitresses. But at least we had good conversations and that's all that mattered. Plus, Kimi really needed to vent about her dumb as bricks co worker. Haha. I feel sorry for her that she had to go back and hang out with her last night (they had to share a room) and then have to drive home with her today. :P BUT! At least she's going home to be with Cailyn!

approx. Time?: 7:30 pm
Today was good too. I got everything done early again... and I played games till noon. :D I didn't have any book to read :(. I can't believe I forgot it at home. Katie gave me all these books to read and I have only gotten half way through 1.. when I realized what time it was last night and then had to stop. I really want to go out and get the 2nd book of Vampire Diaries though. They end so dumb that you really have to keep on reading just so that you know what happens next! And SO I did! I hit up Walmart @ lunch and then on my way home I hit up the HMV and now I have all the books. I have to wait though 2 more to come out. 2010 and 2011 are when the next book are due out. Ugh. How depressing. I hate when people do that. They are probably already made but they think that they would sell better if they came out at different time. Well... probably but still. I want them already!!!

So, I got home and checked the mail..... Drive Me Crazy came in the mail!!! Awesome. I'm so pumped to watch it. Sooo many things to do this weekend. Such as read my books, watch my movie, and go to Okotoks and have the Rider day this Saturday.

Anyways. There really is lots of TV to watch. I already watched New Adventures of Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, SYTYCD Canada, Modern Family, Cougar Town, and I still have SYTYCD US. :D Then it's to bed for me, no more staying up late tonight. I need some sleep!!

Well... Later days!

This is for Karen. :D See!

I love you radio!

I got the best news ever from the radio station today! :D:D:D

MATT GOOD IS COMING TO CALGARY!!!! :D

Well first he's going to Edmonton and then to Calgary.. which makes me want to get tickets to both of the shows! :D OMG! I'm so excited for his new album which he is streaming on his website till October 6th, when Vancouver actually comes out on CD.

November 14th in Edmonton (which is a Saturday) and then November 15th! :D Ahh! I'm so excited! The presale starts tomorrow!!! Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday though. I have to get tickets! I'll be pissed at myself if I don't. Like super pissed. Haha.

November is where it's at this year! Whooohooo!!! :D Matt Good :D New Moon :D What else does November have in store for me? Hopefully other good things as well.

Well... later days!

P.S On a sad note. RIP Patrick Swayze! You make me want to watch Dirty Dancing! :D

Also, I'll miss you Sticks. The neighbour lady had to sell him because her boyfriend was allergic. But he went to a good home so that's good. I'm sure Abby will be upset too. Poor Kitty, just made friends and are seperated now.

Whata weekend! What's to come of this week?

Ahh.. Monday. Why you gotta be so tiring?
I think it's because of my super duper relaxing weekend. Blake and I left the house a total of 3 times. 3 times more than I wanted to but whatevs. ;)

Since the last time I updated... it was all great TV and lots of work! So, there was no time for blogging. :D/:(

Wednesday. Was SYTYCD America. I love it. Love the hosts. Good times for sure! I can't wait to see what happens on this season! Blake likes watching it too. Strange.. but true!

Thursday. Was the premiere of Vampire Diaries. So good. I wasn't too sure about it but now I am. I like it! :D

Friday. It was a pretty good day at work. Lotsa chilling. I don't remember doing too much work. So that's good. Ha ha. Then Friday after work I went to Blockbuster and rented State of Play and Sunshine Cleaning. The State of Play movie was meh and predictable. The commercials really did give too much away. And Sunshine Cleaning was hilarious. I'd call it a dramedy. It was like... Little Miss Sunshine.. and it was a little like that because Alan Arkin was in it. I loved Amy Adams and Emily Blunt in it though. I always thought they looked kinda similar.. like they could be sisters, and then they go and play sisters. It wasn't just me obviously. :D I made lasagna that night too. So yummy. :D

Saturday. Blake and I wanted to go and get Beatles Rockband and so we were looking up where to get it. We ended up just getting it at Walmart anyways though. Ha ha. It was like .50 cents cheaper than everywhere else. Not really much of a savings but whatevs.

Then we headed to Ikea. We got .50 cent hot dogs. :D and we bought a rug for Abby's chair. She loves it BTW. And we got another lamp for the living room. It's so much better with that much light. I don't know how we did without now. And we got a knife sharpener. I'm pretty sure that's all we bought but who knows.

After Ikea we headed to M&M Meats. Our favourite menu item we found out is being discontinued... *cries* Mushroom Brie. So good. Yum yum! But we got some more French Onion Soups! :D It's cheaper than making your own. But I still prefer the taste of homemade(My Papa's) then store bought... obviously! :P And... we got ginger beef.. I wonder how that's going to taste... and we got boneless pork dry ribs. :D Blake's already gotten into that one. :P

Then we came home. We set up our new lamp and the rockband.. played it for awhile. Then I really wanted to get bulbs for our new lamp so that was the second time we went out. :D Ha ha we also had to get a few other things like... delicious clamato so we made a trip to Co-Op.

Then we came home and played rockband for the whole night till we finished the game. We still have to collect a few more pictures but other than that.. the game was pretty easy. I was a little disappointed in some of the selections of songs. I though for sure that HELP was going to be on there but nope and a few other good ones. I guess Live and Let Die is not a Beatles song like I always thought it was. It's actually a Wings song... which is Paul's other band. I say it should have still been on there. It would have made me happy. :D

Sunday. Blake was sad that we already finished the game so he went out and bought Guitar Hero 5 for PS3. You can play it like a rockband game because it uses all the same instruments and is totally compatible with them as well. Also, it looks waaay cooler than Guitar Hero 3 that we have for Wii. It's got pretty awesome songs that we had to play right away. So we played that till we were tired. Ha ha. We haven't finished that game. It's a little more difficult then the Beatles game. I made Blake watch Scent of a Woman with me. I love it but Blake was indifferent. Maybe if he watched it all instead of taking a nap half way through. But it's Blake's style to sleep through half of a movie. I on the other hand cannot sleep if a movie is on usually.

Then Blake craved ribs and I wasn't about to make any, so we called Tony Romas for takeout. Ha ha. So lazy! That was the only other time that I left the house. Ha ha.

When we got back home we ended up watching the MTV VMA's!

What an awesome show. OMG. I couldn't breathe the whole time the Extended New Moon Trailer was on. I didn't think they would show that much but they did. And that was awesome! Is it November yet!? Ha ha. I can't wait for this movie to come out.

Lady Gaga's performance was different... good but different. Poor Taylor Swift. Kanye is a dick. Screw him and his shitty life and music. I gotta stop buying his albums. Ha ha.

The other notable thing that happened last night on the VMA's was the Beyonce dance. Loved it. I wanted to get up and dance but Blake would've called me a loser ha ha. Like I called Katie lame for putting her hand in front of Tobin's face and flicking it back and forth like Beyonce said. Ha ha.

Entourage was awesome. I wonder if Zac Efron is going to make any other appearances and I hope that Lloyd comes back to Ari. :(

Monday. So today at work. I came in and they were taking the stone from the walls down. So loud. I barely could think today. I had to answer the phones anyways regardless of the pounding of the hammers. And it was sooo dusty. I had to open the doors to get air circulating. Ugh. At least I didn't have anything else pressing to do today. :D But, they haven't finished putting stone back up so another day with guys that don't speak English. I wish I spoke Spanish or Mexican or whatever it is so I know they aren't making fun of me. :P Ha ha

Tonight, new TV!!! One Tree Hill! and Gossip Girl. Chase Crawford was on Regis and Kelly this morning looking super fine so I'm pumped about this coming season. I wonder if Blair and Chuck are still together. I wonder a lot about One Tree Hill. I hope it's actually going to be good. I'm excited that Rachel is going to be back!! :D Oh yeah.

Well until next time. I'm out! Later Days!

Hell to the yah!! :D

New Moon Extended Trailer!!! :D

I will update more today.. I just can't think. They are re-tiling/stoning the place around here. It's very loud. I doubt I'll be able to do my job today. (ie answering the phones)

This is going to be awesome!!! :D

MTV Shows

This makes me even more pumped for the soundtrack. There is no doubt in my mind that I'm purchasing the soundtrack album for New Moon. I might as well. I have the Twlight one already.... :D Huzzah!

My Weekend Extravaganza!!

What a busy ass weekend!

I guess I'll start off with Friday.

I worked till 2 then took off to Edmonton :D It was a fast drive up to Edmonton although it sucked driving away from nice weather. We get into Edmonton and it's raining. :P but at least it only lasted like a few minutes then it was gone. Haha.

Then we get to Blake's parentals and we had Chinese food. It was nice because instead of doing things that night we just chilled around the house. We hardly ever get to do that. It seems like it's always go go go. So we sat around and watched some tv there and went to bed fairly early because we knew it was going to be a busy day on Saturday.

Saturday morning... I didn't get to sleep in. :( Boo urns. I hate that Blake has to wake @ 630 but I wish that we had actually got to sleep with no interruptions until then. Blake's mom is exactly like Blake where as if he's up, you are too. Haha. She acted like no one was in the house at 530 and is talking to my cat loudly, because well.. my cat has an early wake up schedule too. :P

But at least I blocked it out and grabbed an hour after waking up and I was up up at 630. So I ended up finishing the book I borrowed from my sister. Shoe Addicts Anonymous. :D It was a pretty good book. Makes me want to go and get the next book by Beth Harbison.. now if only I could remember the name of it.

So after Blake's meeting we got ready to head to SONIC BOOM. :D
So much fun. I got to meet Alexisonfire and I have their autographs and pictures with them and I took a picture of Jason Mews ( Jay from Jay and Silent Bob). It's of him running away but you can clearly tell it's him. :P I also got a picture with Lochlyn Munro. He played Craig on Night at the Roxbury. So funny. While I was there I had no idea who he was but I went home and IMDB his butt and found out who he was. Haha.

I have three favorite bands that I saw. They were The Wet Secrets/ Metric and Franz Ferdinand. I'm sure Taking Back Sunday would have been one but they missed there plane. Sucks. :P and Alexisonfire would have been too but I didn't stay for them or for Billy Talent. It's not that I didn't want to.

But because we already had to go out and see Blake's friend Dre because that was originally the plan. We were going for his 27th birthday. We got Dre a Crystal Skull vodka bottle. So cool. It'll be even cooler when he finishes it and can use it as decoration. So Saturday we were out and about, but managed to get home for midnight. Then we passed out because .. we were dummies and didn't bring sunscreen and we ended up burning our faces and I'm pretty sure we got heat stroke too.

Apparently, that night my poor little brother was bike riding around with his friends and ate the pavement. He got scratched up pretty bad and ended breaking his wrist. My parents went to the hospital at 430 in the morning because he couldn't sleep because he was in too much pain. Poor kid. He needs to drink more milk and stop biking like a crazy person. Haha.

Sunday was pretty much busy again... I wanted to go to Walmart and get new pillows and it was a perfect time to go because Blake's mom always loves a good Walmart trip. I ended up spending money there on 2 awesome/comfy pillows/a new kettle because my other one crapped out Thursday and I got Adventureland. Love that movie. It's set at a pretty slow pace but it's perfect for a lazy feeling day like Sunday was. We ended up watching it over at Blake's friend Kevin's house in the afternoon because Kevin has a crush on Kristen Stewart (barf!) before we jetted off to my parents for supper. We were planning on spending the evening there and not just supper and watching Big Brother but Graham told Kimi & Brett were were in town and so we ended up going over there to see adorable little Caylin. She's getting so big and it soo smart and here I am in Calgary missing it. :( After Caylin went to bed, we ended up playing Bochie(sp?) ball for an hour. By the time we were going to head back to my parents, they were already heading to bed. So we ended up going to my sisters place and checking out their new digs. It's a pretty nice little set up she's got going on. I thought for sure that there was going to be more purple/girlie in the room though. Haha. We left there and went home to Blake's parents and we stayed up for a half hour before crashing for the night. It turned out to be an early one because I was so dead tired from the night before.

Monday I got woken up early again 730 to go for a McDonald's breakfast run. Everyone else had been up since 630.. if not earlier. So Paul and I made the drive to McD's and then we get back and eat. Blake's mom was the only one not happy with her breakfast. It turns out her hash browns weren't cooked and they gave us the wrong meal for her. I think everyone elses was okay though. Mine was delicious. :D

Abby gets to play outside a lot while we are in Edmonton so of course she got to again this weekend. She even played with Sticks nicely this time. Well... nicely for her. Haha. Because he was on the other side of the fence. I took pictures of them playing plus pictures of Sticks feets. So cute. They seriously look like hands. Haha.

Blake checked out his favorite store in WEM but came back disappointed because it's getting too 80's for him in there. But they were playing the new Datarock album so he ended up getting that. It wasn't a fun trip for him. He felt like he came back empty handed. :P

Then we took off home for Calgary. Yay!

We get home and I tried calling my mom because it is her birthday but she was out at a movie with my sister (Time Travellers Wife) bet it was awesome. Anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I love you!

So we drop off our stuff and we went grocery shopping. We got steak and corn (yes, Blake is clearly obsessed with it.) and potato salad. I wish we had a BBQ though. I love the BBQ taste with steak. Oh well. Then I cleaned up the house and did some laundry because after the weekend it needed a good cleaning. I haven't gotten around to actually cleaning the place, so it finally got a good one last night. Then we watched tv and Blake cleaned up our computers... I guess we are suppose to do regular scans.. haha. I hadn't since ... well we got my laptop back from Best Buy months ago. Then we called it a night around 930.

Tuesday. It was a normal day at work. Tomorrow will be better because I'll have all my sales guys in. It's hard when there is only 1. :P The phone just rings all the time! Haha

Now I'm at home and I've got some excellent tv to watch tonight such as... Big Brother (eviction tonight!!!), SYTYCD Canada, 90210 and Melrose Place. I'm just checking out the pilot and then I'll make my decision as to whether or not I end up watching the season. I do already have a lot to watch as you can clearly see! Haha

I have to add my pictures to this post and then you are all up to date! Whoa long update! :P

So later days!

Huzzah weekend.. here I come!

This week has been so long already. I've been soo super duper busy at work. I don't even have time to reply to emails or anything fun. I've only read a couple chapters of my book and that's only because I read them at home. I've come home and been too tired to update, even though I haven't really had much to update either. Haha.
Tuesday night Blake wanted to go to the mall to get his glasses fixed. So we went. But I had just gotten my first paycheck at Diamond so.... I bought two pairs of jeans and a cute green (of course) shirt!! :D I got them from Aero Postale. Everything I got was on sale and when I got to the till they gave me $10 off my purchase so I ended up only spending $58! :D Gotta love that!
Last night though I actually did something when I came home.. I made cupcakes! Yummers. They are awesome too. I just have to put icing on them still.

So this weekend is going to be busy!
It kicks off with getting to leave work early on Friday so that we can be in Edmonton for supper with Blake's parents... and I just took a break to call them and let them know that too. Haha.

So, Blake bought tickets to Sonic Boom festival.. and not just any tickets. He got the VIP tickets. He got them because they were only $40 more and you get all this other cool stuff... plus! Meet and Greet with Franz Ferdinand/Taking Back Sunday/Ill Scarlett/ and Alexisonfire!! :D I doubt I'll talk to them because I always stay dumb stuff and get too star struck but at least Blake has the balls that I don't. :P So that's just a part of our Saturday.
Then after the festival... we have our friend Dre's birthday party to go to. So that'll be a busy night.

Sunday, I still plan on visiting my family for dinner. Hopefully they are still down for that. I don't know because my mom still never got back to me about it. Although I did only ask her in my blog and not actually on the phone. :P

Monday, we head back to Calgary. Grocery shopping and relaxing. That's basically all we have planned for that day and I mostly plan on sticking to it. :P


Well, if things change or I actually take picture I'll be sure to update. Until then...
Later Days!
