One of my friends has kind of inspired me to go out and get more hobbies… so I decided to take up guitar. I started Monday, and my fingers are SO sore. I’ve learned a few notes already. “E” and “A” I’ve pretty much got down, but all the others still need work. I can’t even imagine how I will go from one note to the other yet, it’s much harder than I had inticipated.
I’d also like to get back into badminton again, but will need to find somewhere to play. We will see how that one goes.
The Margarita Party was more of a “Margarita Get-Together” because only Alicia & Shelley showed up, but we had so much fun. I picked them up around 4pm that Saturday and brought them back to my place. It was so humid out we decided to go swimming at a beach near my place. It was so good being in the water; first time since last summer.
We swam for about an hour or so, then packed up and went back to my house where we drank cosmos, wine (both strawberry & sparkling), and watched some movies.
The margaritas were still really frozen so we had fun smashing it to bits because we’re all too impatient to wait for them to unthaw. I should of made a movie of it. It was entertaining… and messy. After about 15 minutes of smashing it to slush, they were ready and we went out to the fire to make s’mores… right when it started to storm. But we stayed outside anyway because we’re troopers. That was pretty much how we spent our night.
I also said goodbye to Shelley & Jess that weekend at the bar because they left for Ottawa this past weekend. It was sad but I’m hoping to see them this summer if we all get tickets to see Wicked, because it’s playing in Ottawa for the month of August.
I picked up an extra job helping my boss’ friend clean. It’s only for a few hours a week, but he needed the help and I need the money. Today was my first day, and I was there just under 2 hours, but it felt like nothing was done because there’s just SO much to do! It’s insane! But it will keep me busy!
I’m stuck in a rut. A big. Fat. Rut. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, my family is great, and I’m starting to get back on track finacially, but it just doesn’t feel like it’s enough. I need some excitement, something new and different. Unfortunately it costs money to do anything these days, and I don’t have a lot of that.
I joined the gym this week (thanks to my mom for getting me the membership!). It’s a three month membership, and I’m hoping to go down at least a pant size by the end of the three months. If I lose more than that, that’s great, but I want to keep my goals realistic. I’m actually going to go to the gym in two hours, when I’m done working.
I finally saw SATC on Monday. AWESOME movie. I’m definatly buying it as soon as it’s on DVD. And speaking of movies, I just found out that there will be a Dead Like Me movie this year. I’m sososo excited!! My cousin and I are already planning a “girl’s night out” for when it hits the big screen.
It is SO hot outside right now, and I love it. It’s saying on the weather office that it is 30C (96F) at the moment. Loves it! I think the lakes are still too cold to go swimming though.
Next week is going to be crazy busy for me. The supervisor here got another job at the mall as a manager so she will be cutting down her hours at the Inn, which means more hours for me. Next week I will be working 50hrs, so I’m sure I will be beat by the end of the week, but at least it will be a good pay check!
My Margarita Party weekend is getting closer and all I’ve gotten for it is the glasses. I’m writing out a shopping list now so I can start picking everything up for it soon. I’m getting excited for it, but nervous at the same time because I’m always afraid no one will have any fun. Haha.
6.5hrs left of work… it’s going to be a long night!
So I don’t really have much to write about, but I felt like blogging anyway, so this going to be pretty random.
Work is great, I’m finally starting to get the hang of things and making fewer mistakes.
I went tanning at a tanning salon yesterday… burnt my back.
My sister’s birthday is this weekend. Going to her place with the family for cake (hopefully ice cream cake!)
I’m finally getting on top of all my bills. Since last summer, my phone bill actually reads $0. It’s a nice feeling. I’m also getting my Visa paid off… slowly… but it’s getting there. I still owe my parents a lot of money, but they don’t charge intrest, so I’m not super worried about that.
Starbucks in my town should be opening by summer, so excited!
I need a road trip soon, but gas prices are outrageous.
… I think that’s all.
