and the hiccups run wild

so, i know i haven't posted in like forever so here's a new one for you, if you even look here anymore.

so the hiccups have gone wild. there is 13 days until my wedding and i can't contain them, i counted at least 4 in one hour today. so my advice to anyone who is thinking about getting married ever, just run away, don't have a big wedding. just don't do it, its so much work. so some of you may know that after the wedding trav and i will be moving in with trav's parents, now this sounds like fun.

now i know some of you are thinking, so what living with the inlaws no big deal, well its not that bad really but... and there is a some butts. dogs, dogs are everywhere. well i'll tell you the truth there are only two dogs, but they lie everywhere, on my bed on everyone's bed, on the couch, i can't get away from dog hair. and not only that but the cat eats on the dining room table. we don't even eat at a table, just on the couch in front of the tv, but the cat gets to eat at the good table. so the next couple months should be fun getting use to the new living arrangements, and i will try to keep you updated.

later

to the anonymous commentor...

i just discovered your comments about cures for hiccups... and you are getting through to people. if you would like to share your cure please just post it in the comment section and i will pass it on to others. who are you anyways and where are you from? as many other people will tell you about my site i don't update it enough, just ask the baa (bloggers against abandonment) they have made a complaint about my lack of blogging, as have many of my friends.

so here's an update. i just started my new job at the forest center and i'm now officially the grunt, doing all the tasks that no one else wants to do... but with this comes no responsibility... yeah! my frist day of work i was sent to clean the backrooms. now please keep in mind these buildings are really old and are falling apart and are located in the middle of the forest. so i was told to clean and organize and get rid of the mouse poop. so i set off to accomplish this task. i went to the back room and moved a couple things and much to my surprise i found a snake! now snakes don't scare me but i don't like to pick them up unless i know they won't bite me. so my friend came to my rescue and got rid of the big snake. i found out later that another co-worker had seen that snake that morning and knew i was going to be cleaning there and just forgot to tell me.... yeah right! so that's my new job.

and to all those out there getting married or ever getting married.... elope, just do it, elope, wedding planning is too much hassel!

and...... i'm back

so its been like forever since i bloged and for this i'm sorry. (many excuses inserted here.) i'll try to keep it up a little better this summer but no promises.

so for those of you who don't know... i'm getting married. there now its official cause its on my blog.

safety first... take if from me.

so since my teachers on strike i've had more time to enjoy the finer things in life. so today i decided to have a couple friends over for dinner. i was very excited we were having roast beef, carrots, green and yellow beans, asparagus and for some extra flair yorksire puddings. now i have made this yorksire puddings before and feel confident in my abilty to make them for my friends. these two friends have never had them before so i was giving them a little lesson.

but true to form when you get cocky and start to teach someone something it all goes wrong, and horribly wrong it went. when making these puddings you have to heat oil in muffin tins to start the process. that went fine, i took them out of the oven after a couple minutes and placed it on top of the stove. two of the muffin holes were smoking a bit but nothing to worry about. but then they started to really smoke which was weird cause they were cooling down. and then the smoke really turned to black smoke and i went to open the window and when i turned back there were flames! to which one of my friend commented in how they didn't realize that's how grease fires started. well i'm really confused and a little scared cause this shouldn't be happening. but i grabed a pot lid and smothered the fired... for a minute and then the flames start up again. then boi was like try baking soda, well i found the soda but the flames were really going so i grabed the extinguisher and boi smartly moved the other food so it wouldn't be ruined and my other friend opened windows. well i pulled the pin aimed at the fire and pulled the trigger and nothing. my extinguisher was dead.

oh my. so with that boi finds a large pan and puts that on it which works like a charm. but i'm still confused why the fire was still going, the grease was cooling down or should have. and then i looked under the muffin tin, and i realise that i had put the muffin tin on a burner and i had accidently turned on the wrong burner earlier and i hadn't been cooking the carrots like i thought i was. so we aired out the apartment and enjoyed our fine meal, without the puddings.

so next week i'm off to buy a fire alarm since with all this smoke no alarm went off anywhere and i'm a firm believer in safety first... and don't worry i have a new extinguisher in my apartment that is fully charged and the other one is on its way to be recharged... and for future reference no cooking with oil will be done by me ever again.

and its over...

i'm at a lost for words. i don't know what to do with myself. what am i going to do? its over... its really over. i just finished watching my last episode of friends. they've been with me for the last 3 months daily and now i've seen them all now. what am i going to do? oh my.

and today a hello goes to...

i would just like to take a moment to send a hello to that person who comes to my site regularly from california. i'm a little jealous that you get to live in california as today i had to spend vast amounts of time outside. now don't get me wrong i love spending time outside, it was just sad cause it was -8C which is like 17.6F. now this isn't really bad and i did have appropriate clothes for this weather. the problem was in the fact that i didn't have snow shoes. the snow was a couple inchs deep and hard to move around in. so today i would have loved not to have snow for easy walking. but i must tell you that the snow in the red pine stand was absolutely beautiful. i loved it! and i got to make a snow angel which was also fun.

so bascially i wanted to say hi to that person or people from california so "hi!".

once upon a time there was a sickness....

last week was a horrible week. i was sick for the majority of it, and when i get sick i usually get really sick. so i was sick with one thing and then got a secondary sickness which required medication that made me feel sick, oh and made my urine a very fun colour with a likeness to orange jello. then taking this medication not only made me feel sick it also created a new sickness. so lets count those that's three confirmed sickness' with the side effect of feeling sick. so i didn't do much last week, nor did i see anyone, but i did get to take a evening off work due to sickness. this week is much better one sickness is completely gone (the seconday sickness), the primary sickness has been minimized to a cough and a bit of flemy goodness... but that third sickness is hanging in there but soon, soon it will be gone. oh and the side effect of feeling sick has weakended to a general hatred of food for about 1 hour after taking medication.

so that is the story of my sickness

officially addicted

my good friend boi taught me how to check to see who has been coming to see my site, where they are from, and how they got to my site. she told me that i would get addicted to checking it, i didn't believe her but now i do. i check all the time, and i even check other peoples just to see if they have friends like me.

i would like to take this opportunity to say hi to everyone that stops by. don't be afraid to leave a message.

i would like to send a special hello out to that person who found my site by doing a web search on "lu pims". can i just tell you that we could be friends. i love lu pims, i love my raspberry lu pims, and i am addicted to them as well.

ok so hi to everyone, and have a wonderful day!

the conspiracy theory

there is a conspiracy against us. and who are the us i am talking about you may ask... well its us single women living on their own. and who exactly has the conspiracy against us? well i'll tell you!

its the companies that are manufacturing jars and containers. the ones who manufacture jars and containers that are almost impossible to open. and i'm sorry to admit it but i will, girls are usually weaker than boys. especially girls with weak wrists. as some of you may know i have weak wrists (even though i reign supreme at thumb wrestling). well i'm sick and tired of not being able to get into my pickle jars or that jar of spahgetti sauce, its just not fair.

when i'm at a loss and can get in i feel that the jar companies are laughing at me, and poking fun at me and saying "if only you had a man around, then you could enjoy our lovely product". they are against us, against us all! and what can we do about it? nothing really. i once heard of a girl who had pickles around her apartment for 2 years and could never find anyone to open them (i swear this is the truth). she finally took a pity date just so he could open the jar for her.... that she had to do that is absolutely disgraceful.

and another thing, by creating these jars to be sooo hard to open it is forcing the single girls to pump iron and train to build the muscle power needed to open the jars. this is just breeding a generation of butch girls, and really now we are being messed out of the chance of finding a great guy, cause lets face it, guys want girls who are "girly", and "needy", and what would we need the guys for if we could open the jars ourselves? ahhh!

please i just want easy open jars!

p.s. even though i am not single i am considered single in this situation as i can not drive 3.5hrs to get my boyfriend to open the jar and then drive back... that's just not environmentally friendly!

p.p.s. save the environment recycle

the frustrations of today...

1. it wasn't a snow day
2. my alarm went off and i wasn't ready for it to.
3. i had to drive to school before it was light and the sun still wasn't fully up when i go there.
4. my feet are sweating in my hiking boots.
5. i had to be outside for two hours so i'm wearing my long johns and i'm really really hot now
6. i went to mc donalds and had a coupon so i had two sandwiches and fries and drink and feel like crap now
7. my coffee is getting cold
8. i want to nap but cant
9. i hate dirt but now i have to go to a class dedicated to it.
10. nothing would make me happier than going home to a clean house but no its dirty and the christmas tree is still up.........


bah!!!!

the more time i spend at college....

i've discovered that my time spent at college seems to be directly proportional to the lose of my ability to deal with technology. i can't even hook up my tv right. what is with that? stuff like this use to come so easy to me. but i have aquired new knowledge that is useful everyday and everyone should be jealous... i can currently identify 15 urban bird calls... that's right i can identify them. i know you are jealous. soon i will know many many more bird calls and will know over 100 speicies of trees and or shrubs including the latin name... wow college is fun.

oh oh how could i forget this ultra important news. I found my cookies, that's right, after months of serching for my favourite cookies that i had in ireland i came across them yesterday in a store in quebec. i now am the proud owner of three boxes of raspberry "lu pim's" cookies. mmmm spongecake with a dallop of raspberry jam with a chocolate waffer on top of that. i'm not sure though if i'm going to share, so you better ask nicely....

and then holiday's happened

holiday's are over, school is starting again next week. i haven't posted in a very long time. i miss my friends, and eating normal and having a schedule so i know where i'm going when. thank goodness life is going back to normal next week... well somewhat normal i guess.

i had the greatest christmas ever, spending it with friend's, friend's family's and my own family. i didn't want anything this christmas and i got far more than i deserve, and if my mum is reading this, that one shirt didn't fit and i took i back and exchanged it for another shirt the same colour but different, so almost the same gift but not. all the parties with friends were amazing.... thanks to all those who took part in redecorating my apartment (i love it) and a big thanks to steve who was the mastermind.

i'm still in shock from the festivities, but they are not over... oh no they are not. i'm looking forward to an amazing sloth fest 2006 occuring this friday for the girls. i can't wait to do nothing all day except lounge and eat and possibly eat some more! how could life get any better! boi it should be kickbutt!

ok and here for the news that shocks many... i'm dating someone who isn't younger than me! i know what you are thinking... this can't be true but it is. i'm actually dating a guy that is 1 year older than me! ok but on a serious side of things, trav and i are back together after a 4 year break, and i couldn't be happier. i just want to take this moment to say sorry to trav for all the bad stories that i have told my friends about you. and to all my friends, there are good stories too and trav is a great guy and you will love him. so give him a chance.
