long lost blogger

I know some of you ( Danna) are waiting on birthday and holiday updates. Im sorry its taken me so long to get them posted. I have just been really busy and then my computer and I are having some issues and it doesnt always want to co operate with me like when I wrote my whole birthday experience and then it froze and lost it all. Stupid stupid machine. So soon when I have time to sit I will do so. till then it was good and relaxing.

how to make an ass of ones self ( parden the french)

I was in London drugs with Dana and Lex Wed night and was walking around anyways Dana was being his usual charming pain in the butt self and I thought I deserved a chocolate bar for putting up with it. So as Im lunging back towards the counter with my prized mars bar I slipped with my ever so slippery flip flops and found my self hung up around a blue basket and a puddle of embarrassment on the floor. Before I knew it I was back on my feet trying to save face while the cashier had a look of horror and Dana looked amused yet concerned and Lexi says " uh oh fell down." Ugg. So Helpful. I did a quick look around to make sure no one saw my little oops and told everyone I was fine. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks and at that point was about ready to say anything just so that we could leave. I re announced that I was fine and that they should put the baskets away. The cashier still quite concerned asked for the basket of terror and put it in its rightful place. On the way back to the car, Dana asked how I was really feeling and in a defeated voice I wined, " I just want to go home." He gave me an encouraging pat and said sure and with a side look added, " you didn't trip over the basket you slipped in your flip flops," I gave him a quick glare as to warn him he would be dead if I heard the words " I told you so come from his mouth". He gave me a sideways grin and drove us home.

No a few days later I have the most tender left side and a beautiful 3 inch bruise on the underside of my arm. I m so glad that its not summer cause I can hide it underneath my hoodie along with my pride.

What we have to look forward too

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks."Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?""Sure.""Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks."No, I can remember it.""Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?"He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.""I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?" she asks.Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.She stares at the plate for a moment. "Where's my toast?"

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?""No," he replied, "Arthritis."

Look for the baby in the tree

Where does the time go?

Today my boyfriends baby turns 2. Lexi's not much of a baby anymore. Its just hard to believe how fast the time goes by and what a ride for the 3 of us. My boyfriend found out that his ex was pregnant after we started dating but was unsure if he was the father or not. The mother waited till she was 7 months along to inform him that he was the daddy and at that time even I sort of doubted that he was. But the night that we got the call that she was in labour forever changed his life and mine. The moment he layed eyes on her all doubt went away and the questions no longer mattered. That poor little girl had such a tough start out to life and since she has been fully settled with him since she was 6months old she has just blossomed into a bright little girl.

Not even a month before her birthday he went to court and received full custody of her with no visitations from the mother who hasn't been heard from in over a year. (She had open right to come out but she has chosen to walk away, which in this case is a good thing for Lexi) I am filled with so much pride for the two of them especially him. A young man filled with uncertainty took on a job that he could of easily walked away from. Through the toughness of being a single father they have an amazing bond. So to you Lex, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I luv my job.....Really.

For those who don't know I work in a group home supporting women with disabilities. For the most part my ladies are gems on occasion they are not. Yesterday I get to work, Im doing an afternoon shift and I am pretty tired but ready for an eventful evening as it was planned for most of the ladies to go to Jailhouse Rocks ( an Elvis tribute with the star Elvis Frisky) I was a lucky one and did not have to attend this concert ( yippee I screamed to myself as I am not an Elvis fan) but I had made arrangements for the one lady who wasnt going to come to my place since she has been asking and asking since I moved in a few months ago. So everything was a go. All we had to do was eat dinner and head on out.

If only if only. Well my lamb of a lady( not the one coming with me) who has yet to strike out at me in anger she usually does so on her roommates, had a moment of pure madness last night. And lunged at me. And sent me flinging backwards into the wall. I was sitting on the computer chair with wheels but still the force that came from this tiny lady. Who new! I tell you I love my job, its very rewarding and rairly do you as a staff have an unusual occurrence but me cause I am the regular afternoon staff and am there pretty much every day tend to get the blunt of peoples frustrations only because they love me and I am the one they trust. Messed up I know. But now today I am sore. I believe I may have whipblash from it. Ugg such a pain in the butt I tell you.

But whatever. Today is a new day and all will be forgotten and forgiven till the next outburst.

OOPs

I apologize for the confusion. I first made a blog in a huge hurry as I was running out the door for dinner so I signed off and forgot to write down the blog information so in my frustration I created a new blog but hadnt gotten around to deleting the first one. Thanks for those who checked out that one. Didnt intend to confuse......But all is good now and its down to just one. My attempts to post things are slow and seem to be using this as my wind down time after work. The only problem is I get home around 1130pm so my clarity isnt all there but I will soon add links, pictures whatever else pops up.

But I should make this short as I have the craziest weekend and week. I have a huge party to plan for one of the ladies I support plus my boyfriend has a little girl who is turning two and I am doing her party as well all princes theme so exciting yet stressfull. (yeah he's a single daddy, but that is a whole different story which I will try to get to one day....maybe) Then when that is all done my mom and I are heading to the Sunshine Coast to get away for a few days to a nice little resort, should be a blast. I ve never stayed in a posh place like this one before so Im quite excited.

Oh and before I bid good night I just want to say its nice to hear from all the old VCS clan. Its neat to see where everyone has ended up. It was such a small school and everyone knew everyone at least in the beginning before it expanded.

Good night or is it good morning now? which ever it is have a good one.

Chocolate Season rocks

I will be the first to admit this blogging thing isnt so bad. Thankyou Danna for guiding me into the light. So I get to work today ( For those who dont know I work in a group home) and find out that I get to train someone new which is awesome but we get to go to a memorial service to boot. I have never gone to a funeral for someone I didnt know before. It was a really strange feeling like I was a funeral crasher. I know I was there to support my women but it just felt odd and the strangest part was by the end I felt like I knew the person who had passed away, I even shed a tear for someone I didnt know. Such a suck I am.

When I get this all figured out I will try and post some pictures. Danna it is payback for some of those grade 7 pictures youre suppose to through those away not post them for everyone to see. My dear friend you will get yours.....heehee.

I cant believe I have a blog

So this is my first blog entry. Yes I have crossed over the the dark side of blogging. Who would of thought that I would blog. I recently had coffee with a good friend who convinced me that blogs really weren't all that bad. They had a purpose. They are an outlet for creativity, a small latter for lost friendships and simply a gossipers heaven. Chances to peak into strangers lives and stepping stones to making great friendships. Because of all that incite I have now created my own blog. We shall see how long I can carry on with this saga but who knows maybe I will eventually catch on. I shall let my creativity flow and entertain the masses who read my entries and I will ponder life and vent out frustrations and eagerly await feedback or I will simply forget I have a blog and carry on as I did before.
