Sitting here, procrastinating on starting the dreaded clean of my closets. I need to hang, fold, and organize. bah. Anyways, I've been running errands around for most of the afternoon with Dale. It's so nice to have him back! Last night, I went over to his place to meet him when he got into town, and then we went to see the 3-D Final Destination movie (two thumbs down). We woke up around 9, and laid in bed for a bit, and then got ready. We went up to UVIC, to get our student ID's validated, and then to the computer store to check out new software (I want, I want, I want!), and then to see a few advisors. After that, downtown to have a bite to eat, and then to the bank to get our USD, and then we checked out Sports Check for free weights. And here I am now, at home! I've got to do the closet thing, pack for Seattle, and then dinner tonight at my place with my family and Dale.

Ah! Last day of August!

today's the day!

Dale is coming back to Victoria tonight! I work all day, so that'll help the time go by faster! I'm off at 6:20, and then I'll come home and shower and get ready, and then head over to Dale's place to meet him. Annnnd....it looks like I've got 4 full days off, plus tonight, plus nearly all of Friday (not working til Friday night). Wahoo!

Last night I came home from work, and we had company over for spaghetti and wine. Yum! Watched the last half of 17 Again, and then read for awhile before bedtime. I am reading Dragonfly Lane, and it took a bit for me to get into too, but it's pretty good now (I am nearly done it)! It's much more of a light read as to compared to the books I've been reading lately (The Lovely Bones, Perfect Match, the Pact). So it's a nice change.

Got the IKEA 2010 catalogue, so I've been flipping through it for some ideas of things I still need/want for the condo. I need a few more light fixtures, and something to put on the living room wall!

Anyways, I better get ready!

Enjoy your days

drooling.

Turns out, scarfing down oatmeal isn't such a good idea. Too hot for the throat! Anyways, work was good today. Finally made my budget after a few days of not. We are building a really good team in our store, and I am excited for the upcoming times spent at work. After I got off work, my maj picked me up, and we were both starving so we got Baan Thai for dinner, and a couple of movies to go with it. We watched 17 Again, first...and Ah! It was funny, and I was just drooling over Zac Efron the entire time. There was a scene in the movie where Mark (Zac) gets outta the car with a white shirt, leather jacket, and aviators on ... and I am trying to decide if this scene is better than the one were Edward gets outta the car with HIS leather jacket, and HIS shades, and Bella. Tough choice. We also rented Sunshine Cleaning, which also looks really good (with a good cast!)

I work tomorrow at 3:00, and Dianna and Robyn are going to be visiting from the mainland. My Dad is up island with my uncle fishing, for the weekend!

Niiights!

Dale and I finally booked our Seattle trip! We are leaving Tuesday on the 11:30 Clipper, arriving in Seattle around 2:15, and then we'll get to stay until 3:15 on Thursday. We're really only going to be in Seattle for about 48 hours, but we're excited! Tuesday night, we're also going to a baseball game, and Wednesday will be shopping/sightseeing! Eeeps.

Anyways, I got called in to work a few hours early today, so I'm up and at 'em, scarfing down some oatmeal, and I've got to be out the door in about 12 minutes!

Enjoy the day!

pink, and black, and blue.

Tonight I work at 5 til 9:15. I am sitting watching Gilmore Girls on cosmotv, and my maj is making me some lunch/dinner before I head out to work. I am really hoping to get the schedule for next week tonight, because Dale and I have got to book out trip!! We are waiting on the schedule to see if we need to take the regular ferry/drive to Seattle, or else take the Clipper. Eeeps! It's just days away!

I can't take care of plants. I killed my mint bush. I only got to use the mint once, when my maj put some in the rice for our Greek feast. Now it's dead, but I've watered it so maybe it'll grow back(?).

Anyways, my parents are back now, and we may be having some company this weekend! And then, Dale is going to be arriving back in Victoria on Sunday night, I think.

Well, the sun is shining, so enjoy the last days of August.

wine & dine.

Back from a wonderful extra-long weekend in the Okanagan. I had the most amazing time! My family and I woke up super early on Friday morning (5:20 a.m. to be exact) to get ready, and drive out to Sydney to catch the 7:00 o'clock ferry. I fell asleep somewhere in between here and there (the ferry). I woke up in the smelly town of Chilliwack, and we stopped for breaky and a tea at Starbucks. I started my book, Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult (which by the way, I finished yesterday, and it was a great read), and we arrived in Osoyoos around 3:00 in the afternoon. We went to the condo to shower and have a little drink, and then headed to my aunt's for the Hawaiian BBQ. It was really fun: we ate loads, drank palm bays, and danced to the Spice Girls. The night started early, and ended early. So, Saturday ... up early to attend the Scavenger Hunt that my cousins organized for 10:00. It was really fun, and my team (my dad, Cindy, and Dea) ended up collecting the most things/getting to the most destinations, and so we won round 1. We all met up at Hayne's Point for a picnic lunch by the water. After some yummies, we headed back to the condo to change into our bathing suits and then back to the pool for a little sun time. The five cousins headed to the Sailing Club around 5:00 to set up for my aunt's retirement dinner. The table settings were super cute, drinks were delish (I was most pleased with the maraschino cherries), and the food was scrumptious. We had some trivia later, and our team won round 2! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! After clean-up, Alli, Dea, and I went back to the condo to drink and then head out to the Sage for dancing and more drinking. Carli and Jacey met us there, and it was so much funnnn! Completed the night with half a hot dog, and a quick taxi ride home. Sunday was more of a lazy day, and we spent most of the afternoon doing a little wine tour around Osoyoos and Oliver... the wineries were absolutely gorgeous! Sunday night was spent back at the condo with everyone, chowing down on pizza and left over cake. Yesterday (Monday), up early to pack up, and say goodbyes to my faaamily. My family and I headed out to Kelowna to have lunch and shop a bit, and then James and I were jet set home to Victoria.

Now today, it's back to work for (at least) 5 days in a row. Back to school in two weeks! ah!
