boy, girl, boy, girl

My boyfriend time was time well spent. I love having Dale around. We had quite the weekend too. He got home on Thursday night, but I had to work until ten. He came over for a short visit, then we both went to bed. On Friday we got together for lunch, and then Dale went to get his hair cut. Then we hung out here for a bit before he left to go home and have some family time. We drove up to Kelseys for dinner that night. It was good company, but rather a boring meal. I forgot why I don't really like Kelseys. It's just mediocre. We both decided that we should have just stayed in town to eat! haha. Anyways, then we rented the Great Debaters to watch. We had a visit with his parents when we arrived at his house. Oh, and we also didn't watch the entire movie because it was a bore. So, we decided to go for a hot tub. On Saturday Dale took me out to St. Eugene and taught me how to swing and hit balls. I think I impressed him more than he is willing to admit. haha. That night we went to What Happens in Vegas. It was a tie between Indiana Jones and that one, and in the end we went to Vegas. It was actually hilarious and I enjoyed every minute of it. After we went back to Dale's for another hot tub. On Sunday we went to the park to play frisbee and throw the football around. It was sort of warm out that day and sunny, so it was actually pretty fun. Then, we went to DQ to pick out a birthday cake and got a wicked golfing one. That night Dale and I rented the original Indiana Jones to catch up (because we wanted to see the new one the next night). We also rented Hotel Rwanda: we like to watch movies! Anyways on Dale's last day we had big plans to do great things but ended up at the park again for some outdoor time, then to Hot Shots for smoothies, then back to the park until 5... playing catch! We went to Indiana Jones that night, and it was pretty good.. except the ending turned it into a bit of a dud. After the movie we went to eat left over ice cream cake and watch Hotel Rwanda. It was an incredible movie: I can't believe I waited this long to see it. Dale left early this morning, and even though I'll see him in two weeks it still sucked to see him go!

Today is my brother's birthday. I took him out to lunch today, and tonight we're having a big birthday dinner, and then having cake with the Taylor's after. I haven't seen my friend Bean in about a month, so we're getting together tonight for a walk and maybe tea.

I start work again tomorrow, and am dreading it. Sometimes I think I'd be happier being unemployed and poor. But then how would I shop and go out for lunch? Dang.

you look happy.

better with YOU.

loverville and pancakes.

loverheads.

My boy is home, and everything is just dandy!

life and other things.

My boy comes home tomorrow for a visit! He'll arrive sometime in the late afternoon, and be staying here until Tuesday morning. I am so excited! I have to work tomorrow until ten, but then I'll get to see him right after! eeks.
The latest news is that Lex and I are going to be roomy's next year in Victoria! We are currently looking for a place... and finding a few places.. but nothing is finalized yet. Next month her, her mom, and my mom are going to Victoria to scout out locations. I will not be joining them because that is the weekend that Dale returns home for the summer and I want to be here to greet him! haha.
It's also been yucky weather here the past two days, so I am crossing my fingers that it'll be a bit sunny this weekend.
I went to the gym for the past two days, and so this morning I took it off. I was still up at 7:30 to shower and then drive my brother to school. Then, I went to the bank and to the Superstore. I am tired today. All these early mornings are starting to catch up with me. I can't remember the last time I slept in past 8: 30. Tomorrow I will probably get back to the gym, and then Friday I am hoping that I won't be too tired, and I'll go to Spin class.

Anyways, I'm off to work.

seriously?

I can't believe it's already the 18th of May! As of this Tuesday, I will have been home for 4 weeks already. Time has gone by really fast, and it sort of scares me. I had a really good weekend. Yesterday in the early morn, my family and I took off to Spokane for some shopping. I had a ton of fun, and it was super hot there which added to my great mood. I found a new camera, and we did some shopping at the malls. We stayed over night, and went out for Mexican last night. I fell asleep around 10 and woke up around 6:30, before falling back to sleep until 8:30. My mom and I went for a 42 minute run in this park along the highway. It was already pretty hot out, but I just kept thinking, I'm getting tanned! haha. We met my brother and Dad for breakfast, and then packed up and went back downtown to the mall. My mom and I went crazy in Bath & Body Works, and MAC in Nordstrom. I also did round two at Abercrombie. We left town to go check out the University, and also eat at the Olive Garden for a late lunch/dinner. We got home around 8:30. I called Dale and we chatted, then Tash came over for a little visit. Now, I am sleepy, and wanting to go to bed, as I have an early morning workout and then work. I work Monday through Thursday to get in all my hours before Dale comes home! He gets home Thursday night, and then stays until Tuesday morning! hip hip. I am so excited to see him.

Anyways, I am off to unpack and then sleep.

it takes more than a heartbeat to get me.

Hello loves,
I had another day off today. It was really productive (as most of my days off are!). I woke up fairly early, and just ate some breakfast, then showered and got ready. I put in a load of laundry.. consisting of all DQ clothes and workout gear.. I hardly wear normal clothes anymore with working and such. Then, Nicole picked me up and we went to Pita Wrapbit for wraps, and then to Hot Shots for drinks haha. We ended up eating outside in one of the parks. Then I had to take my Mom to work, and afterwards I started on my errands. I first had to go to check out the new salon, called The Parlour. I wanted to check out prices for pedicures (a little late mother's day gift). Then I went over to Jewels on 9th to get my ring resized. After that, I went over to tan. I got burned today. I have never gotten a burn from fake and baking, so this is new to me. My chest is burned, as well as my arms. Yikes. After that, I went to Lauren's and we chatted for a bit and watched an episode of Gilmore Girls. I left to go pick up my brother and mom from school, and then headed home. I got ready and then went to the gym for weights and Step Class. It was hard today! Both Chelsea and I were tired and dying by the end. I came home for a spaghetti dinner (yummms), and then started to search for places with my parents. I found one that I am absolutely smitten with.. and we're just waiting to hear back and see more pictures! Now, I am just waiting for ten o'clock to arrive and to head to DQ for the staff meeting. I am so tired, and I have to work tomorrow. Boo.

weekend fun.

So after another stint of working three days in a row, I got two days off. Yesterday was really fun! I woke up and went to Spin with Chels. Our legs and butts were hurting so much after (but thankfully, I didn't have sore legs this morning!). Then we quickly got ready and picked up Tash and us three went downtown to get all our supplies for Nicole's birthday bash. We went back to Tasha's house and started all the prep. We did some crafting to make Nicole a birthday cup and list of birthday rules. We made guacamole, salsa, veggie platter, pita chips, and a cake! We also did jell-o shooters, vodka in a watermelon, and made vodka slimes. Then we all departed again for a bit to get ready, and then headed back to Tasha's to finish up things around 7. Nicole came over around 8 and we had a great girls night of appetizers and drinks. We ended up hanging out with Tasha's whole family and we acted like celebrities as her parents took our pictures. Chels' bf was also there, and he was part of the paparazzi too haha. Then around 1130 we all headed out to Mistys to dance. There weren't a ton of people that we knew there, but we still danced lots and had a good time. We were all home safe and sound around 230.
Today I slept in and sat around for most of the morning. This afternoon I went downtown to return a dress I had bought for last night, and exchanged it for a skirt (I am in love with it!). Then my mom and I went running for over 40 minutes (yaaay Taylor!) in the community forest. We picked my brother up from DQ at 4 and then headed home. James and I showered and then went downtown again to pick up a card for my Mom, and now we're home just preparing a huge Greek feast for my Mom's mother day dinner! We're celebrating a day early because tomorrow James and I both have to work. Tonight I am just hanging out with Lauren and catching up! I haven't seen her for awhile, so it'll be good.

More on Life later,

lazy days

In the past four days I have worked about 45 hours. I can't believe as fast four days flew, but I must have lost track of the days because all I did was wake up, go to work, then come home and go to bed. Working for about 11 hours a day does not leave a lot of room for doing other things! On Thursday and Friday morning however, I did manage to wake up early enough to go to the gym before getting ready for work.
Today I have the day off. This morning I just watched America's Next Top Model, ate breaky, vacuumed and showered. Soon, my Mom is coming to pick me up, and we're going for lunch at Hot Shots. Later this afternoon I have to do laundry and clean my bathroom. Then, I'll probably go to the gym with my Mom and Brother. Tonight, I don't have a lot of plans because tomorrow I plan on waking up early to hit up the gym. I work Tuesday through Thursday, and then I get Friday and Saturday off.
I am looking forward to Friday because my besties and I are celebrating Nicole's 20th birthday! I think it'll be fun. Then I took Saturday off to recover and do some Mother's Day stuff.
On May Long Weekend, the family and I are heading down to Spokane to do some shopping. I am in desperate need of some summer clothes, and hopefully by then, it'll be warmer out so I can actually wear them! I also need to buy a new camera. Last week, when I was doing a little photo shoot with myself, my camera fell, and it's not too expensive and not worth getting fixed. I also have to search for some gifts for my Brother's and Dale's birthday presents. May is a busy month!

Okay, I best be getting dressed and ready for my Mom now.
cheers.
