Ringing in 2009 with a bang

New Years was pretty much awesome. I was a little skeptical when I found out where we’re going because I had wanted to go to a club as it’s more my scene but plans changed and we had to go to a pub… with a live band. Noooot really my thing, but I didn’t have a choice.

I went with my friends Shelley and Cody to this pub in Ottawa called Hooley’s. The band played a lot of older rock and were really good, and while they took breaks, the DJ would play top 40; It was awesome. It was the best New Years to date, though next year I plan on staying home.

The rest of my trip to Ottawa was fun, but oh em gee at the driving. I feel like that’s all I did. There’s a bus strike in Ottawa right now, so we had to drive everywhere and it was too cold to walk. We went to the Rideau Centre, The Parliament Buildings, and Quebec… and let me say, I’m never driving in Quebec again. There’s no signs anywhere! We got lost so many times. Hated it.

I can’t wait to go back, but 1) I’m not driving and 2) It will be when the weather is a lot warmer.

The weather outside is frightful

I am so over winter… and it’s only December. It’s snowed almost everyday for 3 weeks. Just last night we got about a foot and a half of snow. I knew I should of moved to Florida!

Last week I went to Barrie to meet up with my friend Alicia and started my Christmas shopping. I got about half of it done, but still have about five people left to buy for and I’m running out of time.

Saturday was the Christmas party for work, and it was the best Christmas party I’ve ever been to, even though I’ve only ever been to two. The three of us went bowling then went back to my boss’s house for fondue & drinks. I loved it!

I’m about to send off my passport, hopefully this week! I’m so excited, I finally have the cash for it. I just need my pictures done and someone to sign, then off it goes! I can’t wait to start travelling the world! First stop, Greece & Egypt in October!

Baby it’s cold outside…

I’m back to working at the Inn for a couple shifts this month. It’s midnights, but I’m grateful for the shifts so I will have some money for Christmas shopping. I haven’t even started yet because I’m flat broke. Right now my parents are paying all my bills… it’s sad. I did find a check from when I last worked here though, so I will be able to buy some gifts.

Speaking of Christmas gifts, my mom got me an early one! She bought my sister, her boyfriend and me Theory of a Deadman tickets! EEE! I’ve been dying to see them in concert again because they are amazing. So I will be seeing them in January and this time I’m bringing my camera… last time I didn’t and I so regretted it because I was so close to the stage.

Next weekend is our Christmas party for work. I’m excited; we’re having dinner at my boss’ house and then going bowling. I’m bringing my camera in hopes to get lots of pictures.

I think I’m going to go to Ottawa for New Years. One of my friends lives there so it would be perfect. We would have a place to stay, she knows the area, and she needs a ride home then anyways. I’m not sure which club she plans on taking us to, but I’m kind of hoping it’s the one she was raving about in Quebec. I just have to convince my other friends to come with me instead of going to Toronto…

The Weekend 411

Friday: My friend Jen came over after she had dinner with her mom so I wouldn’t have to drive all the way out to her place Saturday morning to pick her up to go to Oshawa. She came over around 8:30pm and we watched some TV, drank, and went hot tubbing. Watched more TV then we went to bed.

Saturday: We got up fairly early to leave for Oshawa and had a pretty smooth trip until we hit Gravenhurst… the road I needed was blocked off and we got there right as the Santa Clause parade started. Great. So instead of getting totally frustrated, we decided to get out of the car and watch (and try to score the free stuff they were handing out too). The parade lasted almost an hour so we didn’t get to Oshawa until about 1:30pm (our goal was about 12-12:30). Jen and I went to the OC to shop but we both walked out empty handed.

Once 4:30pm came around we had to pick up my friend Jordan then head to my friend Jenn’s in Toronto because we were seeing Twilight. I totally loved it. Mmm Robert Pattinson…

After the movie we went to grab a bite to eat then Jen & I headed back to Oshawa to get ready to go to the Big Sexy. We didn’t leave the house until midnight, so I ended up driving which meant not a lot of drinking for me. It was good leaving later though because it was already busy when we got there. I hate waiting around for it to get busy! We had a lot of fun, but some loser kept spraying pepper spray so everyone was coughing up a lung the entire night. It was gross. We ended up staying until close and this guy wanted to come back to where we were staying and I kept telling him no and he wouldn’t listen… so eventually I snapped at him and he got the picture. I even scared myself. Lol.

Sunday: Jen was hurting so she slept most of the morning but I ended up bringing her to meet my friend Adam for a quick coffee. We talked a lot while Jen threw up… good times. Lol. Shortly after coffee we were back on the road to go home, and that pretty much sums up my weekend.

Now: I’ve been out of work since last Monday, and I’m starting to go stir crazy. I wish I had more friends here to keep me entertained!!!!

CLEEEEAN!

I got a lot of my room done last week, but still haven’t finished. I got lazy and just haven’t felt like getting back into it. I want to get it done before the weekend though, and since I have today off, I’m going to have to force myself into cleaning mode. Ugh.

Twilight in 2 days!!! I will be seeing it this Saturday with a few friends in Toronto. Robert Pattinson will be on Ellen this Friday and I’m so excited for it! I hope I don’t forget to watch it.

I downloaded Britney’s new album the other day and I love it. I can’t wait until it’s released so I can snatch it up.

I’ve started making lists of my Christmas shopping and figuring out what to get everyone. The list just keeps getting bigger! Ahh!

This weekend is going to be awesome.
