Hey, Hey, I Guess It Hasn’t Hit Me Yet

On Wednesday I went to Massey Hall in Toronto to see Blue Rodeo. It was amazing! The seats were on the balcony, and I sat beside the cutest old man! I just wanted to squish him! He was just bopping away, enjoying every second of it. I wanted to keep him. Haha! We didn’t stay for the encore, so I have no idea what was played, but it was already almost midnight and we had a two hour drive home still ahead of us.

I managed to figure out my Employment Insurance mix-up, had my access code mailed to me yesterday, so I was able to finish my claim online and if all goes well, I should be receiving my money in a few weeks. Thank GOD because i’m broke as a joke. My part-time job is a huge help, but it’s just not enough. In the mean time, I’m still handing out resumes for some more part time work.

I’ve been wanting to get more into photographing people, and practice getting better at that since to me, it’s challenging and hard to do. The only problem, is I don’t have any one to pose for me here! I’ve tried asking my sister but she always has an excuse to not do it, so this past weekend, I posed for myself. LoL. Let me tell you, being the photographer AND model in snow is NOT easy, especially when it’s up to your knees. But here’s a few of the shots I got:

So I finally made a formspring account, so feel free to ask me anything!

FML

I have such a headache. Today was definitely not my day. Right from the moment I got up, things started going wrong. The biggest being that I have to reapply for my Employment Insurance since my access code was lost in the mail… so I basically have to start from scratch. I could of been receiving money the entire time I’ve been laid off, and I haven’t been.

I’ve been looking for more part-time work since it doesn’t look like I’ll be going back to work anytime soon, if at all. I’m getting the feeling I won’t be hired back this year. If that happens, I don’t know what I will do. I will be screwed, to put it lightly.

Next weekend is my birthday weekend! I’m going to a friend’s place for the weekend to celebrate with her. I think one of her friends will be joining us too. I can’t wait, I just wish I wasn’t so broke because I wanna get wasted. LOL.

New Layout + Update

January 9, 2010   Filed Under: Events, Family, Site, Social Butterfly, Work   334 words

I finally threw together a new layout since I had the previous one for over a year. I’m not really digging it, though. But whatevs, it’s staying for now.

My Christmas and New Years went pretty well. Christmas was spent with family; opening presents in the morning, having a big breakfast, then over to my aunt’s for a turkey dinner… with TONS of desserts. Speaking of which, I’ve totally gained 5lbs since I’ve been out of work. Not doing anything + eating lots of junk = bad Amy I need to change that!

For New years I had one of my good friends come to my place for some drinking, hot tubbing and dancing. We started early, so we barely made it past midnight. I think I passed out around 12:30. Ha! But it was fun. The day after I think we both took it easy, I drove her home around noon and I spent the rest of the day lounging on the couch watching movies.

I’m still not back at work yet, but I have been working part time with my sister and her job doing clerical work as well as cleaning. I like it there, but I can’t wait to start painting again. I think it will still be some time before it starts back up.

I don’t think I’ve posted this on here yet, but I did on LJ quite awhile ago… I’m going to be an aunt. My lil’ sister is having a baby, due this summer (I think the due date is July 7th… but don’t quote me on that).

Oh, and I just got an email back from the local pilot instructor about when classes start and costs. They start in March so I’m hoping I can come up with the money for ground school/books in time to start them! I think I need about $570 plus tax. Fingers crossed I can do it!

Ok, I seriously need to get up and do something.

“Told Ya So”

December 21, 2009   Filed Under: Daily, Events, Site   381 words

Remember that bet that my dad and I had as to whether or not I could paint the house in 3 days? Well, I did it in two. My boss came by and helped me so we were just flying! And those two days included all the prep work! Soooo I got to tell my dad “told you so!”. I should of put money on it. Damn. Next time. But for now, here’s some before and afters. Just click the image to view full size.

 My dad bought me winter tires last week since my car is so unsafe to drive in the snow with. The tires I had on were all seasons and I’ve had them for 2.5 years; they were so worn down that the dealership wouldn’t even give them back to me. lol. So I will have to get new ones in the spring. Anyway, I’ve also been having another issue with my car so we asked the dealership to check it out while doing the tires, and it turns out the problem was the wheel bearing on the driver’s side… and it’s bad. So we had to get a part for that, and I need new front breaks. Sooo until my dad fixes my car, I’m not allowed to drive it. Brand new tires, and I can’t even break them in!

I’ve decided not to put up a Christmas layout this year, mainly because I’ve been too lazy to make one. And I doubt I will update before Christmas, so I hope everyone has an awesome holiday!

Mr. Frost Can Suck It

This post is for the lovely Brandi, since she reminded me I need to update. Haha.

We’ve been really lucky with the snow holding off, up until Friday, where we got hit with a snowstorm and went from having no snow to almost a foot of it. I was not happy to wake up Friday morning to see a blizzard outside. My car has really crappy tires, let alone snow tires so I wasn’t able to go to work (which would of been my last day since we are getting laid off). So now I have to go into work this weekend using my mom’s soccer mom van, to try and get the work done because if I don’t, it messes up next week for me!

Speaking of next week, I’m painting the house! Right now it’s this cranberry colour which we’ve had for years, but it doesn’t go well with the furniture at all. So I’m painting it this taupe-y brown colour. I told my parents I can do it in three days, including prep work. My dad says it will take me two weeks. I say, bring it on. So that’s why I can’t work next week because I need those three days to paint! And it needs to be done soon so we can finish decorating and putting up the tree.

I wish I could say I’ve done a lot more exciting things since my last post, but really, the last couple months haven’t been the greatest. A lot of things I depended on, aren’t there anymore, and things are just falling apart. I wish I could say this sadness was just from the weather changing, but it’s been going on for awhile. So really, I’ve just been trying to work on putting the pieces back together and feel normal again.

I think I’m going to get myself a cup of coffee, maybe have some breakfast, and head in to work to wash some beams. Exciting, right?
