Im sorry...















Well it seems like I've been neglecting this blog... and I'm sorry. There's just been allot going on it seems. And blogging is not my #1 priority. But it'll be nice to catch up!

This week of work seemed to fly by, yet again!! Had a nice visit from my friends Kelly and Wayne, who are visiting from Austrailia. Did some window shopping, and went out for dinner with them... showed them around where I live and then wished them on their way as they were heading to Seattle, then back to the Island where I will meet them next weekend!

My friend Laura and her baby Kaylee came to visit this weekend. Which was spectacular because I haven't seen Laura and Kaylee in... 5 months I think. And wow she has grown... well her hair has, haha. She is now 17 months old and I met her when she was in her mommy's tummy, oh how time flies!! I hated when I'd see my parents friends when I was younger, and they would CONSTANTLY say that to me... but it's true, when you see a child grow up, time DOES fly. My roomate's baby... Kael who isn't such a baby anymore... he will be 3 in less than a month, and I met him when he was still in a crib... I went from "Nen, na" to "Tenna" to "Jenna". It's crazy how fast time just passes you by.

We decided to have a girls night on Friday and go out dancing. Ahh it was long overdue and we had an amazing time with friends!! Feels good to just let loose, dance and make a fool of yourself (including the McDonalds playplace at 3am!!) But we sure did pay for it Saturday morning, after 3 hours of sleep and kids waking us up at 7:30am!! But still, well worth it.

Headed down to White Rock beach, played in the sand and wished for the sun to come out... but it decided not to. Laura, Ashley, Kael, Kaylee and myself packed up and headed to Misson. Met some of Laura's old friends, it was nice to see where she came from before I had even met her. It was nice to mix old friends with some new ones! Long day though, we were all exhausted, finally made it back home by 11pm and we all passed out pretty hard.

Today, Sunday, was well needed. Just a day of lounging, cuddling, cleaning and relaxing. Kaylee took a trip to the doctor's and found out she has bronchitis, poor baby. So her mummy and her had a nice nap for the most part of the day, not before all 5 of us (and kitty) cuddled in my bed and watched Finding Nemo.

JUST finished a yummy dinner of chicken, fries, potato salad and green salad. Said goodbye to Laura and Kaylee, to Kael's dismay of wanting to go with them in the, "big truck". We will see them next weekend though, when we head home for May long weekend :)

It's sad to see the weekend coming to an end, but knowing it's a four day work week (took off Friday!!) makes it THAT much better. Will head back to the Island on Thursday night untill Monday evening. Can't wait to see Kel, Wayne, Mom, Dad, Ben and lot's of friends next weekend!!!

My shorts are on, the window's are open and I may just go for a walk in the sunshine tonight!! Finally feels like summer is here... and I couldn't be happier!

More Crap


Okay...

I'm tired, I'm exhausted and I'm not too sure why I am writing on here in that state, but I am, so here I go.

I can't believe how SLOW five working days go by and how FAST two days off go. I think something is mechanically wrong there. Like there MUST be some hours missing on Satuday and Sunday.

Friday, I went down to the beach, walked along the water, realized I was friggen cold and that the beach is much more enjoyable in the summer. Although I did have a good time.

Saturday I watched the Canucks win at a pub down in Crescent Beach, had some drinks down at the beach. Watched my friend's girlfriend run into the freezing water to win a hefty bet, and was so very thankful that it wasn't me who was swimming at 10pm on a chilly May day.

Let's just say it was a good night that ended up in a scary little hole in the wall on King George Hwy. Haha. Or Boulevard as I should call it now right, because they are trying to clean up Surrey and by switching it from Hwy to Blvd helps right? I just love paying taxes...

Sunday was pretty relax, downtown with Sam, did some window shopping, saw quite a few people I haven't seen since grad. Had a few awkward moments with random people I didn't really know in a hotel room, all in all...still good haha.

The Shark Club really felt like home when I was greeted by people wearing cowboy hats, cowboy boots and generally NOT over-dressed like most uptight city folk.

Too bad I didn't get a ticket for the concert but I was well updated with friends texting, although I couldn't make out much of what they were saying anyways.

Monday came, and I felt very fufilled, pretty happy to be living here at this very moment I'd say. Truthfully I'm excited for the day (hopefully soon) where I can move to a place where I can walk down the street after dark, drive with my doors unlocked and maybe even not have to witness crackheads on a daily basis!! But untill then, I'll look on the bright side, I have a head over my roof, amazing roomates, a job that pays me, food in the fridge, great friends and family who love me!!! So locking the door every night seems like a small sacrifice. Should probably learn how to use that home alarm system though I think.

Kelowna this weekend with Sam, short trip but I have NO doubts it will be anything short of amazing. Poor Roland, I feel sorry for you already!!

Pretty much counting down the days till May long weekend where I get to go home, see friends and family and hang out for four days!! Crazy how much you appreciate family more when you don't live around them.

Alrighty, well it's WAYYY past my non-bedtime. You know. A bedtime. The things people set as deadlines for the time they have to be asleep by, the one's that are never abided by. Ya, one of those. Dirty Dancing just finished downloading so I'm sure I'll be fine falling asleep to Patrick Swayze swaying those hips of his.

Goodnight!!
