Gross Day
B is gone back to St. John's. He came out on Saturday and spent the weekend here with me. We went to K's for supper yesterday and went out for ice cream with Chris and Lynette last night. I know this is what it's going to be like from now on. Waiting and waiting all week for him to come out only to have the weekend zoom by. It sucks, but I guess we'll have to learn to like it. I'm going in Town on Wednesday and as far as I know he'll be coming back out with me. So we'll get to spend some time together before work and school starts up again.

My Tea Party tickets came in the mail today. Less then two weeks until the concert. I really can't wait. I think it's going to be a great time!

Chris and Lynette have decided to move in together in their own place. I haven't seen it yet but it sounds really nice. The only shitty thing about it is I can't afford to stay here alone. So, I'll be moving back to mom's on September 30th unless I can find another place between now and then. So far I've had no luck. There aren't very many available (and suitable!) places in C.B. Wish me luck please! I'd rather live in my own place as much as I love mom (lol)!

I finished reading Harry Potter tonight. It was a great book, just like the other five! I can't believe what happened at the end though. I won't ruin it in case somebody hasn't read it yet. I hope the seventh book comes quickly. I'm dying to know how the whole thing will end.

The weather is getting grosser and grosser. We didn't really have much nice weather this summer anyway, but it's starting to get colder. And already I am sick! I think it might just be allergies but it feels like the flu. In any case, I feel crappy today.

Take care everybody. Be good.

Tea Party!
I'm so excited today! I phoned earlier and bought tickets for the Tea Party! So, on September 10th, B and I will be in the same room with the Tea Party :D I can't stop smiling. It's going to be an awesome show!

I can't believe it's only Tuesday. It seems the week always goes by slowly when I'm waiting for B to come back from St. John's! It'll be better once I start work again. At least I'll be busy during the day with Rory :) and it will be no time and the weekends will be here.

I'm so in the mood to go downtown! I've been like that for the past week. I haven't been to a club in forever. I just want to be in that atmosphere...dim lights, loud music, loads of people, dancing, drinks! We went to the Cozy Glow the other night and played pool. It wasn't too bad. I'd never been there before, and it was quite fun!

I can't wait for Big Brother to come on tonight. I'm such a geek...but I love that show!

Well, take care of yourselves and be good. Bye bye!

Great Week
Sorry I haven't updated in a week! Chris and Lynette went camping for a week and I had the place to myself. B was here with me from Wednesday to today (Sunday), so I had other things to be doing!! :D Having B here with me was so nice. We ate lots, and spent all our time together and had this amazingly fun time. We have so much in common and I really enjoy being with him. He makes me smile. Now he's gone to St. John's. He's moving in there because he starts school in a couple of weeks. It's going to be an adjustment for sure. I'll have to get used to seeing him only on the weekend. It'll be alright though :)

Mom and I went to get pop from the hospital on Friday. Now he's settling in to the seniors home here in Clarke's Beach (the new one). It's so beautiful there. High ceilings, rooms with comfortable couches and lamps and pictures and paintings where you can sit and visit. Pop has his own bedroom with his own bathroom. It's lovely and it's only 5 minutes away. He likes that because we're still close by. I'm really glad he had a good attitude about going to live there. Now mom has so much less worry.

The Tea Party are going to be in St. John's on Sept. 10 and I AM GOING!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! They were here in May and I didn't know about it until it was too late to get a ticket and I was so disappointed. I'm going to make sure I go this time! I'll get B to go with me...ohh, what an awesome time we will have :D

I spent all day Thursday with Rory. The Shortall's went to Town with Nolan to get him some back to school stuff. So, Rory and I had a great day. It amazes me how much he's grown since June! And he's so smart. I've never heard a three year old who speaks as plainly as he does. He told me that I'm his best girl! And he loves me! I ask you, what in the world is better than hearing a gorgeous and sweet little boy tell you he loves you while he's giving you a hug and a kiss?? Nothing, that's what!! :) He couldn't be any sweeter if he tried! And he has a big boy bed. He was so proud of it when he was showing it to me.

Now life is back to normal. B is gone, Chris and Lynette are back, and I'm here being bored (lol). Looking forward to the weekend when B comes out so we can do stuff! Take care of yourselves and have a good week.

This song is for B. The George Michael version of course!...

*roxanne/you don't have to put on the red light/those days are over/you don't have to sell your body to the night/roxanne/you don't have to wear that dress tonight/walk the streets for money/you don't care if it's wrong or right/roxanne/you don't have to put on the red light...*

For B...
I have very recently realized exactly just how lucky I am to have found B. To have someone who is so amazing, and so loving, and so forgiving is a rare thing. I think I'm going to start crying right now! I can't stop thinking about what we talked about last night, and I just want you to know that I lovers you much...so much. Ok, that's all I have to say about that.


Chris and Lynette are gone for a whole week! They both have their holiday from work. So, here I am all by my lonesome. B is gone to St. John's until Tuesday, so I'll have to spend the next couple of days by myself. I can't wait for B to get back though so he can spend a few days with me. I'm going to get a bunch of groceries and cook us some lovely meals :)

Gus has steadily been feeling better I am very relieved to report. I went to see him today and he was out of bed and sitting in his chair and walking around. He's back to his sarcastic joking too (lol) so we know he's feeling better!

Take care of yourselves everybody. Be safe and be good! Bye bye.

*i'm pulled down by the undertow/i never thought i could feel so low/oh darkness i feel like letting go/if all of the strength and all of the courage/come and lift me from this place/i know i could love you much better than this/full of grace/full of grace/my love*

Sad
It's been a crazy couple of days. On Tuesday, mom had to go with Gus (my pop) in the ambulance to the hospital. He'd been having trouble breathing and when they got there they were told that he had a lot of fluid on his lungs and his blood pressure was really high. We later found out that he'd had a heart attack. He's still in the hospital and they're keeping him there for at least a week. I went with mom to see him yesterday and it broke my heart. He looked so small in his bed and he looked scared. When we were leaving I kissed his forehead and told him I'd see him later, and he grabbed my hand and looked so lonely. I hated to leave him there. It's so hard to see him that way.

I went with B last night to his friends house. Met some of his friends. I think I made a good first impression (lol) They seemed to like me well enough. I liked his friend L. She was really nice, and she reminds me of Jennifer N. So, we got along very well. I'm looking forward to seeing her again tomorrow night at B's.

I think that's about it for me for now. Take care and be safe everyone. Think healing thoughts for Gus, please. Bye.

*you can catch me while i'm sleepin', darlin/while i'm dreamin' too/it's a lonely, lonely, lonely place for me baby/it must get lonely for you too*

Hotness
It's another hot day out there. I wish it would just cool down. Heat and sun makes me feel so hot and uncomfortable and contrary (lol!). If it never got past 15 degrees I would be happy. Jeans and sweater weather all year long would kick ass!

I went to Town yesterday with mom and Paul. He didn't irritate me as much as I thought he would! After his appointment at the Janeway was over we went to the mall and I shopped :D Mmm I love to shop. I bought the most goegeous leather boots at Transit. I can't wait to wear them.

I think I am going to a party tomorrow night. At a friend of B's. Then I'll be going to B's party on Friday night. Seems I'm going to be quite the little partier :p

Now I'll scoot. I'm talked out for the moment. Take care and be safe.

*so, go on, go on, come on leave me breathless/tempt me, tease me, until i can't deny/this loving feeling/make me long for your kiss/go on, go on, yeah, come on*

Good Times
I'm waiting for B to get here. So I decided to update while I wasted some time. Not a lot going on really. Finn is here! Laurie's dog. Chris and Lynette are dogsitting for the weekend and they're gone to St. John's for the evening so the dogsitting duty has been passed to me! :D B and I are going to take him for a walk. It's a beautiful evening.

The sunburn on my chest is healing somewhat. It's still really tender and sore but it's peeling. I can't leave it alone! My arms and face have such a pretty color. I'm usually so ghostly white that any shade darker impresses me! So, I'm happy enough with it.

The Alanis Acoustic cd is super good. I'd forgotten how great the songs on that cd are. I love in "Ironic" how she changes the line..."it's like meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife" to "...meeting his beautiful husband". Makes me smile :)

B's cousin is coming home from Ontario tomorrow. She's staying for three weeks or so. I'm looking forward to meeting her and hanging out and whatever. I think B might be having another one of his awesome parties that I keep hearing about but have never had the fortune of attending! So, I am a little excited about that!

I suppose that's it for now. I'll mosey on again. Take care of yourselves. Enjoy the lovely evening. *Happy anniversary Sheldon and Jenn* Bye bye for now.

*and there i go jumping before the gunshot has gone off/slap me with a splintered ruler/and it would knock me to the floor if i wasn't there already/if only i could hunt the hunter*...*and i am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land/if only i could meet the maker/and i am facinated by the spiritual man/i am humbled by his humble nature*

Shopping Day Goodness
My shopping day was a complete success!! I bought so many things and spent so much money. I came home exhausted and happy! (lol) We went in because mom had an eye appointment at the clinic right next to the McDonald's just up the road from Sheldon's old apartment. So, since that was the end of town we were on, we went to Stavanger Drive and stayed there for the whole day.

I never knew there were so many good stores up there. I finally got my Argyle (diamond design) sweater! I found it at Reitman's. It's black with light green diamonds. So pretty. Found myself some bras that actually fit properly! I was so excited to find them that I bought 3!! I bought some other clothes too and Alanis's " Jagged Little Pill" acoustic cd.

Developped my film from the Klondyke Concert. :D I got some good pictures, and a couple of really good close up ones of Jacob. I'm in my glee!

B came up last night and we lazed around as usual! Played some scrabble (and I kicked his butt AGAIN!!) and we watched The Golden Girls. We watch that show every night! We're geeks for the gals! Today we went to Bay Robert's and when we were at Powell's we saw the sexiest man ever!!! He was wearing a black vest, shorts, black sneakers, and black Nike socks...pulled right up to his knees. Oh man, I'd do him! (haha)

Well, I'll be off again I suppose. Chris and Lynette are going to E&E for food and I think I'll get some too. Take care. Talk to you soon.

*take it easy/take it slow/i'll take you anywhere you wanna go/places never seen before/cause i love ya/i need ya/and i'll do my best to please ya/our love can open any door*

I'm Bringing Pickles!
It's another lovely day, and here I am inside. I wish like crazy that it was Fall. My absolute favorite time of the year. All this hot sun is killing me! The sunburn that I got at the concert is soo painful. I actually have a cluster of blisters on my chest just above my left breast! I'm sure some of you remember that wicked burn I had a few years ago...when my legs were badly burned...well, my chest is almost that bad now. Not quite, thank god. I've been having trouble sleeping because no matter how I lie down I feel uncomfortable.

Tomorrow is shopping day :D I haven't been to St. John's to shop in ages and ages. Old Navy here I come!! Lynette saw some of those sweaters with the diamond design on them. I've been wanting one of those since last year. Hopefully I'll be coming home with one!

I got my hair cut the other day. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Everyone is telling me that they like it and that it's really nice, and I kinda like it too but I think I just have to get used to it. I always get this way over my hair anyway (lol) I'm very picky and never satisfied!! However, I do really like it when I dry it and make it curly. It's really pretty like that :)

I'm off again. Take care of yourselves. Bye bye for now.

*let's make love/all night long/until all our strength is gone/hold on tight/don't let go/i want to feel you in my soul/until the sun comes up/let's make love*
