Not sure what to blog

It's 10:35pm and Survivor ended at 9pm. My guy got kicked off as he's a naive dummy! Oh well...won't be winning this season's survivor pool. Ugh!

I'm going to Ootsa lake this wknd to scrapbook allllll wknd with other girls. This will be fun. I went last fall too and we all decided this should be a bi-annual getaway for us. I've been saving up pictures as I don't have as many as most other ladies there. Some are so behind they have hundreds, maybe thousands, of pic to sort and then eventually scrapbook!! I don't have as much stuff to take pictures of as I don't have any kids and my family is 2.5 hrs away etc....lots of reasons so that's why I have to save them.

Last night after badminton, the 5 of us, Callan, Matt, Sara, Nicole and I went to Mulvaney's and had a beer...which turned into 3 jugs of Sleeman's honey brown ale. It was a light beer so I didn't feel woozy or anything but we didn't get back home until 11:30pm and I didn't get to bed until midnight!! That's so not good for me as I'm not a night owl, especially on week nights. I think I slept for 4-5ish hours while getting up 3x to pee. That's the bad thing about alcohol...break the seal once and you're forever hooped!! But overall that night was a blast. I haven't drank beer in a long time and had fun with others. Even Sara said she should hang out with me more often as I'm hilarious! Haha.

Last Saturday, I drove home from the lower mainland (I took 2 days to drive back). I had a blast. When I arrived the previous Friday, I met up with Melissa G and we did dinner, hung out at her place (well actually Nathan's place) and then went to the Collossus movie theatre and watched "Drillbit Taylor". It was entertaining.
The next day I got my honey bee tattoo which did hurt most of the time....it felt like a really bad sting....aka Bee sting!! (pardon the pun).
Then on Sunday, went to the grandparent's place, did dinner at uncle doug's place and stayed until 11:00pm so my aunt and I could finish a 500 piece puzzle.
On Monday, I went to abbotsford to visit relatives I hadn't seen in about 8 years and longer. Then went to Ikea and then chilled in the evening.
Tuesday: visited my other grandpa and retrieved old, old 8mm film reals of when my dad and uncle were kids. My dad's plan is to convert them to dvds eventually. I got that priced out and it sure costs a "pretty penny"!!
To make the story shorter, I left Thurs afternoon for Cache Creek, spent the night at the Sandman, left there on Friday, drove to PG, then to BL on Sat.

Whew!! Lots of typing.

Gonna go to bed now. Hope to see a comment soon!!

My Vacation

I'm back in PG now. Arrived yesterday afternoon. It snowed practically the whole way and it was incredibly windy so the drive wasn't relaxing...guess that's a good thing as I tend to nod off during long, boring drives.

I took some pictures of funny/odd signs on my way up to PG. My plan is to scrapbook a page of funny signs. I'd post them but their not on my computer. Perhaps after I make the page I'll post a pic of that.

Next wknd I'm going to a scrapbook wknd on a lake. I have lots of pictures/pages planned to make so I shouldn't run out. I've been saving them up. There are some people that come to these things that have boxes and boxes of pictures.

Vacation update

My tattoo is doing fine. The bandage is off and now it's just drying out. My mom is practically the only one who doesn't know I've done this. I'll wait to tell her when I get back to PG. As the saying goes "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission", not like I have to ask for permission from the 'rents.

I'm on vacation too for one week and so far am having a great time. I really don't remember the last time I had this much fun in consectutive days.

Tomorrow I'll be with my dad's dad and going through his storage area to look for the old 8mm film reals. Then my dad will get them converted into dvd format. This is actually really exciting for me. I hope we find some.

Well I'm gonna head to bed now....I've had 3 late nights in a row...gotta get up at 9am tomorrow.

I got a tattoo, ba-by!!! TATTOO!!!

This was done this afternoon. It took less than one hour so what I budgeted for was saved!!! Very cool, since I'm on vacation and would rather have the money for other stuff, like good food at fun restaurants.

This blog's for you, Hillary

Saibry has already grown outta this sleeper.


Shyan, the dog, is on the couch too. She doesn't seem too bothered by the new addition. But when she cries, so does doggie. :)

Skydiving in August

So I called the skydiving place yesterday and booked my reservation and put down a deposit. It's confirmed, I'm jumping!!

Last night I had the most bizaare dream...it was quite fantasy/science fiction oriented but there was one part where I had to jump into the air from something. How I did it was saying "jump" and then jumping. I don't remember anything afterwards but it seemed fine in the dream.

When I awoke this morning, I had a memory in my mind and figured I had to "just jump" and then figure things out afterwards. Haha....this will be awesome!!!
