oh joe lando....and the dog

hello!
guess where i am...the hosp! i havent been here in ages! i am working with good nurses tonight thank the heavens, and by heavens i mean heavenly father of course. so huge news for the few of you that dont already know, i got bangs!! they are pretty adorab if i do say so myself! ummm i feel like i shouldnt even show jenny my bangs until she gets hers done, then we can reveal them simultaneously and it will be like looking in a mirror but we will be looking at eachother! also today i nearly burned to death in another apartment fire. this is what happened: i had just finished my dinner and i was getting ready to eat a bowl of ice cream when the alarm went off and i was pissed! so i put on my nursing shoes without socks (gross) and my coat and i went outside because i thought it was another false alarm but then three firetrucks came and someone was talking about there being an actual fire in one of the apartments and i was like oh great i should have grabbed more stuff, and that dish of ice cream. anyways so the firemen go running into the building and they have tanks and equipment and stuff and its all very dramatic. then it turns out someone just burnt a potato in their microwave....it was such a let down. i was at least hoping for a fire big enough that i wouldnt have to go to work tonight (but not big enough that i couldnt hang out with jenny instead) so then i went back inside and i ate some ice cream but then i remembered i didnt have any more tickets for the bus and i was like dammit i gave my last quarter to the shopping cart last night so then i went to the subway and i got some dinner and i asked for lots of change but the boy was out of loonies and toonies and so i had to get five dollars worth of quarters but it was ok i guess. ummm last night me and jaclyn went to langford and there were sooooo many creepy langford people, especially at the quiznoes but then we went to the superstore!!!!!!!!!! and i got some grosh and stuff and the most delish ice cream ever made. then last night at 11 a league of our own was on!!!! it was soooo good. i am starting to get kind of tired i might have to have a nap tonightsies. tomorrow i plan on daysleeping until the afternoon then going to AM's for dinner then i have to go to work tomorrow night too, its going to be really awful for me! lets seeee what else is new oh i know what i didnt tell you about, only the best sleepover ever!!! jenny and me had a sleepover and it was sooo good. we ate a ton of candy and watched season two of baywatch which does not have the opening song that you think it does!!! then we wrote love letters to joe lando aka sully/cellee from dr quinn medicine woman, he has not written us back yet!!! the nerve! then we did some youtube research about midgets, or dwarfs or whatever is pc, and also watched some really fantastic tyra clips on youtube ummm anyways we stayed up really late then i was sick in the morning from eating soo much candy, actually i thought i was in kidney failure but i guess i wasnt. ummm and i think thats about all thats new! i ate at pags again with diana when she was here and i got another cheesecake and it was sooooo good! it goes especially well with tea. so do gingersnaps...i should make some gingersnaps but i dont have any molasses.... alright well i am going to read my book for a bit but i hope you are all doing well, talk to you later
yours in cousinship, friendship or strangership,

hey crybabies hahahhah

alright alright, enough with the tears everyone ahahahahha so how has everyone been? i have been the same as always....fantastic!! lets seeee since my last post i have eaten some candy, done some sewing and thats about it. ummm oh i am very annoyed that this writers strike is affecting all my tv shows, usually when i get home from work at night i watch jon stewart and the colbert report but there are in repeats!!!!! i am not pleased. also the fruit flies are back! where the hell are they coming from? i read all sorts of good suggestions on how to kill them online- people are really passionate about killing them ahahah the best was putting vinager and sugar or something into a bottle then once the flies go in to eat it you pour baking soda in and the volcano kills them ahhahahahahha i would like to try that one but honestly i have bleached my drains and my garbage cans, where are they coming from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? ummm last week on the day before hallloween me and jess went to the corn maze at night and it was terrifying!!! well mostly the scary part was this giant talking mechanical bear that told kids that they should drink alcohol or something like that but anyways after that we went to pags and got cheesecakes and they were sooooooooooooooo good like an infinity of goods then on the next night me and john went back to pags but not for dessert, just dinner then we saw the darjeeling ltd and i really liked it. ummmmm i havent even seen jenny in a million infinities except on sunday because of her school work and its killling meeee but on sunday was fun we had so many desserts with dinner and john and megan made the ugliest ginger bread house i have ever seen....but dont tell them i said so hahahhahah the candies were good though. then on tuesday jaclyn and i watched some movie that wasnt good but we at thai food and it was good and we watched beauty and the geek and that was good too hahahhaah umm i am back to being obsessed with the edison twins, i just really want to see one ep just so i can realise it isnt as good as i am remembering ahahhaha i do have the theme song on my pod now though ahahahah alright well my plans today are to continue my efforts to kill the fruit flies and tidy up my place, i have company coming this weekend ummmmmmmm i think thats about alll oh one good thing jaclyn picked me up some fabric for me at ikea last weekend and they only charged here for one piece... and it was the cheapest hahahahahah good times alright well i hope you are all well i will talk to you later.

its my 100th post day!!!

well everyone, big news....this is my 100th post!!!!!!!!!!! yay me, i think i deserve some type of cake or at least an ice cream log!!! ummmm lets see what else is new, oh i am writing this from the hosp and the computer i am using has the hugest font i have ever seen ahahahha someone old must have been using it. i am trying to look up flights to go home at Christmas but westjets website is down!!! how rude of them! ummmm oh in other news i was practically burned alive in an apartment fire last night. at 430 in the morning the fire alarm for my building went off and i had to get out of bed and go outside in the freezing cold!!! i wasnt really too worried though because the alarm had gone off in the middle of the day the day before so i was pretty sure it wasnt a real fire but just incase i grabbed my purse and my cross stitch just to be on the safe side, anyways then there were a few hundred people just waiting outside, some were in there pj's and some took the time to get fully dressed and put makeup on ahhaha they would have been burned alive to death!!!!!! ummm anyways the fire alarm noise is pretty much the worst noise i have ever heard in my entire life, i was practically running out the building to get away from the noise but you could still hear it outside really loud too hahahah then the firemen came and looked around and there was no fire so we could all go back inside but then i couldnt get back to sleep so i watched some tv then i went to sleep until noon hahahah ummmm in other news jenny is ruining my life with her schoolwork. i wish latin was never even invented. ummmm oh i was going to post some apron pictures because i have been sewing like mad lately and i have made some really adorable aprons (they are more of an art piece than they are wearable, i think they will disintegrate in the first load of laundry ahhaha) anyways i will take pictures of them later and post them next time i write, which reminds me i had a run in at the fabricland the other day with this stupid lazy fabric cutter girl who was too lazy to look up the inches to meters conversion even though she had a table right in front of her. it was quite a fiasco and i didnt buy enough fabric and i forgot the lace so i am going to have to go back this week but its ok because i think they are having a sale!!. ummm i cannot wait for christmas!!!!! i am so excited, i am going to be baking cookies and i already bought some decorations for my new place, its going to be fantastic, i wish november never even existed so christmas would be closer (sorry dad) oh guess what is back in my place...fruit flies, i hate them sooo much i wish every fruit fly that ever lived would die. ummmm that might be all i have to say for now. i will maybe be going to AM's for dinner tonight but it will depend on how much latining jenny has to do and what time i wake up hahahha alright gems i hope you are having a good week i will talk to you later

you people are sooo needy hahahaha and i am loving every minute of it hahahahhaah i will have you all refer back to my very first post where i predicted infrequent updates, thus i am only fulfilling my own prophecy anyways im sure sooo much has happened since my last post but mostly i am in love with caramels, the little square kind. i thought i overdid it at johns last week when i ate nearly twenty caramels in one sitting (i needed constant energy for guitar hero) but i was wrong i am still loving every blessed caramel i eat!!!! i am going to get a halloween sized bag of them and make caramel apples too!!!!! another thing i love about this time of year is the rockets. i know you can get rockets any time of year but to me they seem more delish (not to mention cheap) close to halloween. ummmm another food i love is the sweet potato, remember at AMs on the weekend how delish the sweet potatoes were!!!! and i ate them on my bread it was soooooo good. ummmm last week i made two pies, one for jaclyn and one for AM, and i have to say they were pretty delish, the worst part about making them is peeling the apples, i wonder if grandma still has that applepeeler thing you just put the apples in and it does all the work hmmmmm anyways on friday jenny and mits took me to this place downtown to see this show of this friend of mits, she was really good, however i think i was tricked into drinking a hot carob! i requested a hot chocolate but it didnt taste like chocolate at all, it tasted like health!!!! i had to add sugar to it hahahah and jenny was drinking these delish tea babes and they were soooo good so she shared like an angel!!!! ummmm then we were all high off these tea babes so we had to get out of there so john and megan came and we went to his house and we played guitar hero and it was sooooo stressful for me!!!!!!! then on saturday i worked, it was pretty ok then on sunday jenny and i (team cousinlove) did the run for the cure and helped to cure breast cancer! we were soooooo good we got there early and had to walk at least 7km from the car to the start of the race and we were exhausted by the time we even started the race but there were lots of cute dogs and we were given size XXXXXXXL shirts that could easily fit a 500lb man oh and we had numbers pinned to us.....i dont really know what purpose they served, but we loved them ahhahaha and we walked the race, just a few paces behind the cripples and we ate almonds and raisins and it was good then we were going to go to the jjmorgans but we went there and the manager refused to serve us!!!!! something about he doesnt like white people or the restaurant was full or something anyways so we went to the spot and it was full then we went to the other spot and finally we got served hahahhahahaha it was good though! then we had thanksgiving dinner at AMs because she is going to be away next week and as i said it was soooooo delish ummm then thats about it the rest of the week i havent done much of anything....i ate an ice cream on monday with jaclyn and bought a rolling pin and measuring cups but thats about all! oh i have been watching this show called dexter, its a little dark but quite addicting i already watched all of season one and now i am up to date in season two!!! ok well i hope you are all doing well, i will try to be good and write again soon.

hey, i am at the hosp and i just ate pretzels and liked them!!!! ummmm i feel like at least something has happened since my last post hmmm lets see. oh on sunday at AM's we were going through old pictures and found the one of grandma going down the pool slide- it is fantastic hahahah there were lots of other really funny ones too ummmm and we had spag for dinner and i was really delish! what time does safeway open in the morning because i really need a cucumber to make sushi with hmmmmm anyways so oh also on the weekend we went out for dinner with andrew and i had the cheese platter and it was pretty much delish and mitties was playing music and ummm oh jenny earlier was bassing some biblical songs and it was really good oh and jenny got her ears pierced and i hated the girl that did it, according to her working at claires is the equivalent of having a medical degree.....anyways so that was good and they look nice. then i had to work on saturday and it was a little wild to say the least hahahahah i dont know how long i will last at this new place hahahah on sunday jaclyn and i went shopping and i got a new pillow and i am LOVING it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it has a million feathers in it and its like sleeping on an infinity of clouds. also john has gotten me addicted to this fantastic new show you should all watch- its called flight of the conchords and its pretty much hilarious and musical. speaking of music did you know that i am really good at guitar hero? well i am, not to brag or anything but i was soooo good the other night at johns and i played this song about japanese people and now i am obsessed (not with jesus' cousins)! can you even imagine how tired i am right now? well i am! i got up at three today to watch dr quinn medicine woman, and it was worth getting up for hahah oh and tonight top model was on, have i mentioned lately how much i hate tyra banks? she is the most useless person in the universe. speaking of the universe john deliberately gave me a huge headache the other night by talking about the universe and how everything is a year and there are an infinity of planets and the universe is practically already over and we just dont know it yet or something to that effect, needless to say my head is still killing me!!!! ummm i think thats really all thats new oh i got a parcel in the mail from jackie this week, it was pictures from the wedding, adorab!!!! alright well i better get back to sitting around, talk to you later

her majesty returns......

Helllooooooooooooooo i am back in victoria and i am waiting for my corn on the cob to be cooked. i got back wednesday night, my flight was delayed 25 minutes, i was not pleased!!!! but then when i got home i was pleased because my adorab new couch was in my living room!!! and i didnt have any food except the cookies my mom made me and i ate an infinity of them and they were sooo delish!!! anyways then on thursday jaclyn and i went shopping and it was good and i got a new clock and some photo albums ( i took all the pictures out of my massive album from highschool, they are such a waste of film hahahahahahhaah) and grosh ummmmm then on friday i had to work and it was mega busy and annoying then yesterday jaclyn and i did more shopping during the day but we were very good!!!!! then last night me and jaclyn went to dinner with don and terry and it was delish and i had three drinks of alcohol and it made me very tired so i slept like a newborn lamb, anyways it was super fun ummmmm oh yeah then we went to xanavision and rented possibly the worst movie ever made, it was called "the princess academy" and was made some time in the early 80's, however it isnt nearly as good as the title suggests. then today jaclyn and i went out again and were nearly killed by several reckless drivers and i became agitated at the walmart because they only had these huge size sugar bags and i just wanted a small bag so i didnt get any sugar at all!!! but it turns out i probably have some in my cupboard anyways. ummmm oh also in very exciting news, I HAVE CABLE!!!!!!!!! its pretty much the highlight of my life to get cable again because i ran out of brat camps yesterday and grant stole back his dvd player and i think if you all will recall mine is broken. tonight i am going to cut out the patterns and fabric for my aprons, but i cant sew them because my machine is at jennys and she and john abandoned me to go to disneyland, i am practically like chop liver substitute!!!!! oh guess what, when i came home from vernon one of my fish (sacred cow) has turned white!!!!! all the orange has gone off its body! i was shocked but he doesnt look sick or anything, its all very bizarre! tomorrow jess is coming over for lunch, i wonder what i should make hmmmmm anyways i better get going, i have second dinner to make!!!!! well i will talk to you later in the week.
