Klondike Concert
Yesterday was awesome! Mom and I went to the Klondike concert and had such a great time. First of all, we parked on the Beaver Plaza parking lot, and we were going to get the bus to the field. The linup for that bus was HUGE so we decided to walk. Probably not such a good idea as I was wearing sandals! By the time I got there my feet were killing me, and I have a large blister in the same spot on both of my feet!!
The crowd at the field was massive. We met up with a couple of people that we know and they told us that the end of the line for the admission gate was all the way down to Kelly's Landing!!!! We went up to a volunteer and sure enough he told us that it didn't matter if we already had a ticket, we still had to go to the end of the line. We were not impressed at all. Apparently there had been people lined up since 8 in the morning. The line was so long and moving so slowly that people were missing the concert just trying to get in. We were going to go to the end of the line but I said it was pointless. We would end up missing the acts we'd come to see, so we went back with the people we know and were trying to figure out a way to get in.
Then, a miracle happened!!! We heard a siren and they blocked the line so that a fire truck could get through. So, badasses that we are, we went up to the front part of the line and totally cut in and got inside withing five minutes!!!! I felt horrible that we cut and got in before some people who had been waiting for ages and ages, but we paid our money too! It was horribly organized and there were many people complaining. Anyway...
We missed all of Jason Greeley and most of Theresa Sokyrka, but I managed to get a few pics of her. Then Kalan Porter came on. Holy crap, he is the tiniest man I have ever seen! He was so cute and his hair was awesome! All bouncy and curly :) And he put on a cowboy hat! So cute. He sounded really good and he's an amazing fiddle player. We got a bunch of pics of him as well.
Next was Jason McCoy. I'm really glad we got to see him. He gives an awesome show. Sounds just the same as on the radio, and he's so much better looking in person then on tv! He had the crowd going wild!
Then, the man I went to see!! Jacob came on. I'll admit that I was screaming a bit with the chickies!! (lol) His band Hedley is amazing. All four of the guys were super good looking. I took a full roll of film of just them! He was just as crazy in person as he was on Canadian Idol...sticking out his ass and doing his crazy arm movements while he sang. I was in heaven! (lol)
We left after that and came home. I'm sunburned so badly. The volunteers were spraying the crowd with hoses to cool them off and my chest got wet and burned. I can't wait for the redness to dull down a little so I can have a bit of a tan!
Well, that concludes my exciting day! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Take care.

Honestly
The heat in this house tonight is killing me. I feel like stripping down to nothing and just lying on my bed and letting the fan blow over me! It's been looking rainy to me and I wish it would pour from the sky and wash away the heat. Thunder would be nice as well.
I found a really nice hairstyle in a magazine and I'm going to try it out on me. Tomorrow if I can get an appointment. It has a sweepy bang and I already have that so it shouldn't be too much of a change. Though it is quite a bit shorter than I have right now! I want a change though. My hair has been the same for ages and I'm ready for something new. I'm a little excited about getting it done :) *crosses fingers* I hope it comes out ok.
I'm up by myself tonight. B is gone home for a night and I'm lonely without him. It feels strange when he's not here with me. The night is quiet and boring and still. Even if we're doing nothing but watch tv, it's just nice to know he's here.
I heard it's supposed to rain on Saturday, which sucks. I don't want to look like a drowned rat at the concert! I think we're really only going so we can see the Canadian Idols, so I probably won't be there terribly long anyway.
Anyhoo, take care of yourselves. Bye bye for now.

Sitting Around
Another weekend over. I'm wondering where the summer has gone. I swear, days never go by as quickly when you're lonely and bored! It seems that if you actually have fun and exciting things to do, nature speeds up time! There's pretty much only a month left and then I'll be back to work again. I'm looking forward to it though. I'm missing seeing my little Rory Boo every day!
This past weekend was quite nice. The party that I was supposed to go to with B was cancelled, but we went to a BBQ at his mom's boyfriends house. That was an interesting time, indeed! I was impressed with how un-shy I was! His family seems to like me, which is nice for a change :) B told me that he caught K, his mom's bf, staring at my chest quite a bit! (lol) I guess I can't really blame him ;) We went to B's house after that for a few hours. I really enjoy spending time with him. Being with him is so relaxing and comfortable. *smile* I just love it. He makes me feel so good.
Now my little B is gone to St. John's for the night. He'll be back tomorrow though. So, until then, I'll have to find things to do to amuse myself! Perhaps I'll FINALLY start my Harry Potter book. I never seem to get a chance to read it (lol)
My lord I've been doing a bunch of shopping lately! :-D The fall clothes are starting to come out in the stores and those are my absolute favorite clothes. I have so many new things to wear. I'm all happy! I bought another one of those cute short, blazer type jackets that I adore. It's light green and corduroy...so pretty. So very pretty :) And on August 8th, Paul has an appointment in Town, so mom and I have a shopping spree planned for that day!! I'm so excited it's crazy! I'm gonna shop like the devil's at my feet!
Saturday is the Klondike concert. Should be a good time. Mom is going this year. We're looking forward to seeing the Canadian Idols. *blush* Yes, we're geeks! But we're comfortable with it!! (lol)
Ok, I think I'm all talked out! Take care of yourselves and have a great week. Bye bye.
...I hope this post is long enough Lesley...xoxo

Lazy
I can't believe how lazy I am right now! I'm watching "Big Brother 6". I get really into that show. I enjoy Janelle. That chick is awesome...so clever and funny. Just my luck, she'll be evicted tonight and I won't have anybody to root for! I love watching her when she's in the diary room. She says the funniest things.
B has been up almost every night this week. He's gone home tonight, but will probably be back tomorrow! I've been having the greatest time this summer. It's amazing how different my summer has turned out from how I imagined it would be. I assumed it would be a long, boring summer, but I've been busy (and happy!) everyday. :)
...Yay! Janelle wasn't evicted!!...
Some of B's friends are having a party this weekend and he wants me to go. I think I might. I haven't met any of his friends yet and I'm a little nervous! Though, from what he tells me, they think it's awesome that he's dating an older woman! (haha) Oh my...
I'm off again. Have a good weekend. Take care...be safe.

These words are my own...
I love you, I love you, I love you! I enjoy that song very much. Catchy and cute :) There's really not much going on around these parts. I just wanted to update. I'm feeling a little bored. This week went so quickly and I feel like I haven't really done anything but be lazy!
Tomorrow the new Harry Potter book is available and I simply can't wait to buy it. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas when it comes to those books. Apparently there's going to be a lot of surprises in this one. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Terrence and Kari are gone back home now. I really enjoyed meeting her. She's such a sweet girl...and so funny. I loved listening to her stories about when she was younger, told with her beautiful accent.
Went to B's house last night. Ohh, the movies on the computer! (LOL) We went to the beach near his house and sat for a bit. I love to be near the water. So calming.
I'm gonna scoot I think. Not much more to say. Take care...be safe.

Another night...
...and here I am by myself. B went home tonight. I can't complain, though. He did spend the last two nights here with me! Bless his boots. He kept me company while Chris and Lynette went to the wedding and then went to her cabin for the night. Mmmm...he's the best company. It's always comfortable and always exciting. I just love being with him.
He's the cutest, ever! Found me the perfect nail polish. Lime green...I couldn't find it anywhere around here! So now I have cute lime green toenails :) I love it!
He's met the whole family...crazy bunch that they are! Daisy (the cat) seems to like him, and Peaches (the dog) seems a little scared of him. (lol) I'm sure she'll warm to him eventually. She's only seen him once! My little B! He makes me smile...
I think that's about it for now. I don't have anything else of interest to talk about. Take care...be safe.

Feelings
Ohh...I am so happy today...and I was yesterday...and I will be tomorrow! It's amazing how meeting the right person can make you feel so good. I have become so comfortable with B in such a short time that it amazes me. I'm usually so, cautious, I guess would be the word. Waiting to get to know someone before I let myself do anything, or say anything, or whatever.
But with him it all feels very right (cliche!) and I'm just going with it. Fast or not, I like how I'm feeling and I like how he makes me feel. I haven't been in a relationship in a while and I'm glad I didn't rush into anything just because I was sad or feeling unattractive because I'd been dumped! (lol) I'm happy that I took my time, and got over all my stuff. Now I can just enjoy being with him...and I enjoy it very much.
The rain today is crazy! I had to run through it to the car and I was soaked wihin seconds! The thunder and lightning was awesome! I feel like going for a walk in it later. Nothing sweeter than kissing in the rain :)
Enjoy the week everyone. Take care of yourselves. *smile lot's*
*yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm/and your cheeks so soft/there is nothing for me but to love you/and the way you look tonight/with each word your tenderness grows/tearing my fear apart.../and that laugh that wrinkles your nose/it touches my foolish heart*

Yay!
It's finally Friday! I'm so glad that this week is over. I'm looking forward to the weekend. B will be coming out tonight and will be coming up. So excited to see him :) Should be a good little weekend.
I bought a really cute top today. It's one of those tunic type tops and it's pink. I really like it. I'm thinking I'll wear it on Saturday with my cute little jean skirt. C and L's friends might be coming over for a BBQ and some drinks before they go to the reception of a wedding of a friend of theirs. I think B might be here for it as well. It'll be nice to have a date :) I also bought a pair of ladybug earrings. Ohh, they're pretty!
Terrence and his girlfriend dropped in tonight. She is gorgeous. I'm glad T found someone who makes him so happy. We'll probably be doing something tomorrow, so that will be nice.
I think that's about it for now. Take care everyone. If your moods are half as happy as mine, you are happy people indeed! :) Feel the love!
*i love you baby/and if it's quite alright/i need you baby/to warm a lonely night/i love you baby/trust in me when i say/....you're just to good to be true*

Well
This week is dragging by. I feel a little out of sorts. I'm anxious for B to come back from St. John's...I need a hug like nobody knows. I'm sure I'll feel better soon enough. Eventually, everything works itself out.
I'm home all alone tonight. It's been a lonely sort of week, and I've been a little emotional :p I hate this time of the month (lol)....I'm such a sook!
I'm gonna go on again. Take care...keep safe.
