Jamaica! ... and then back to reality.

Okay... so I guess it's fair to say that's been awhile since I wrote something in here. Not like I don't have a few things going on but yeah.. Just busy..

So Jamaica was amazing. The whole time there was fantastic. I can't wait to go somewhere like that again.
We did a whole lotta sitting around on the beach and drink, which was awesome! But we also went shopping. Scary experience for sure! And the price of everything didn't make it seem like we were getting an actual deal. Since we were paying in american money.. so I don't know if we actually saved. But it was fun none the less! Also, we went to Dunn's River Falls! So much fun! I didn't realize that we were going to be travelling up a rock waterfall and I "didn't want to get into water" well.. I was soaking wet after that. Haha. So much for my plan for the day. We also met a lot of great people from the states and we basically were with them the whole time. It made it better by getting to meet people... and that way I didn't have to get too drunk everyday like Blake wanted to. Haha.
Here is the link to the pictures. Too many to post... so they are on photobucket! :D




So reality..

Got back and it's been slow at work. I have things to do everyday but it's not as busy as before I went on the trip. So... I guess that's good.

I can't believe it's December already. We put up our Christmas tree on Saturday. We had to go to Walmart and get everything, since it was our first time putting one up. It was fun. Now we just have the problem of Abby trying to take the bulbs off the tree. She's just so excited. :D
I'll add a picture when I get home. :D


So many things have been going wrong with my car since before we left. Here's the list of good times. :P
First, I go to a lame oil change place known for "doing it right"(pfft.. right!), for an oil change and they convince me to get my fuel filter changed so I was like suuure.. Well. I was there for 2 hours! They didn't have the right fuel filter and when they did finally put it on I drove away a few blocks and my car broke down in the middle of the street. Humiliating to say the least. Then after the fixed it they only gave me $30 of of my total bill when I should have gotten the whole thing for free after the way I was treated there. Whatever. I'm never going back and I recommend that no one ever does.
Secondly, the first big snow fall here in Calgary and I'm driving home after work. Of course I should have taken a bus of gone a different way... either way... I hit a curb. $1532 later and I got my car back from Ford. Hey, it only took 2 days for them to fix it which was pretty awesome.:D
Thirdly, my stupid check tire pressure light has been on since Tuesday. Because of this cold weather it thinks my tires are flat.. I've checked it and even went to Ford for them to look at it and they said it was going to go off after 15km. (Not true) But I'm probably stuck with it till Spring.  :( ... or until the cold weather goes away.

So since I can't really do anything outside.. since it's cold... I've been knitting again. This time I'm making my housewarming gift to Amanda. Yup. Dishcloths! :D  Haha it's lame but at least I'm not reading Twilight for the 6th or 7th time. :P Speaking of Twilight... I loved loved loved! New Moon. Specially the second time... because I noticed the movie poster for "Face Punch".  This was on the poser --.>"Let's Do This!" Haha. My new favourite saying! LOL's.

I'm excited because last weekend we made plans with Amanda and Sean to have a movie/game/pizza night but the weather was terrible (really, really bad!), so this weekend we are going to do it! So at least this week I'll have something to look forward too. I wonder what movie we will watch! :D

So ... I guess that's up to date.. as much as I can remember.
Latress on the menge Days! ( I love "I Love You, Man!")
