festivous holidays...

Merry Christmas Folks .. (if anybody reads this...)

I cooked my first Christmas dinner all by myself! Well, just about. Kev had played army by peeling potatoes and Fonze finished it off by mashing them. It was a bit different this year. We had our late Christmas Eve dinner as usual, but my momma wasn't here, actually, a whole lotta people were not there. Oh well, some people showed up and the food was good. I think my momma really is serious about this married life and living in Manitoba thing ... hmm. On Christmas morning, Robert, Fonze, Roxanne and I had ventured off to Valley River, MB to have supper at my mom's place. After supper, Robert had come back home that night because he had to work the next day and the rest of us had spent the night. We were all being very lazy the next day on Boxing Day and spent most the day reading or watching TV. We finally got going around 6:00 p.m. to make the 6-7 hour trip home. Other than the fog, it was an uneventful ride home!

I think my truck hates me. Seriously now. Seriously? Seriously! I finished paying it all off a couple months ago and it chose then to start breaking down. I have already got an oil change, tune-up, and left bearings put on it. My to-fix list includes: right bearings, u-joint, axle sealants, and a couple flushes. That was before the heater motor went and damn well broke on me! If it isn't one thing, its another! My truck and I are having this love-hate relationship thing going on about now! I love it, it hates me.

New Years Eve. No clue what we are doing! I suppose I gotta try get this heat thing working in my truck before going anywhere. I bought the part for it today so now I just need to find someone to install it for me. HELP! Maybe, I will just hitch-hike to the nearest bar! I need a drink.

fun, fun, fun...

I am back from my road trip to Edmonton! It was the most fun! I started and completed my Christmas shopping, I think... I sure the hell hope I am! I am like so shopped out (except if it is for myself...) Our first stop in Edmonton when we got there on Thursday? Red Lobster!! I was stupidly full by the end of the meal! Friday, I was a mall rat. I caught a taxi to the West Edmonton Mall and did a lot of window shopping. I bought myself two pairs of shoes and a hat. Love my shoes!! Candace met up with me at the mall when she was done her meetings. After wandering the mall again, we ventured off to find the Indian Casino. No luck for me :( It was on Saturday when I did all of my Christmas shopping. I caught the taxi again to the crazy, hectic mall and caught alot of great sales! We also found our way to Ikeam, Best Buy, Old Navy, and Reitmans on the other side of the city. We only got lost twice in the city. The last one was today when we were trying to find our way out of the city to go home. Good thing I packed my adventure eyes!

I am just about home. I am staying in Prince Albert tonight. I have another day off from work tommorow so I can pick up my truck tommorow that I had dropped off at the shop before heading out.

Anywhos, am gonna go watch a movie or something. Latah! *waves* to the peeps who read this :)

road trip...

Yah!! I am going on a road trip this weekend! I have the next two days off from work even! I will be heading to the big ole city of Edmonton, Alberta to do some christmas shopping. Must remember to pack my running shoes! I will be travelling with Candace. She has to work. Poor girl. I have to do nothing. Lucky girl! =)

friday night...

I am home on a Friday night. I don't mind it too much anymore. There was a day when I would have been stupidly bored, but now it is more relaxing than anything especially after a long week at work. I am finally done my truck payments!! After four long years, I am done. Of course, it is when my truck starts to act up. That kind of sucks. Right before Christmas! I am suppose to be going to Edmonton next weekend with Candace to go do some shopping! I was so looking forward to it. I already have the days off to go, but its looking like I might be staying back to fix up my truck. Unless, I find a money tree. I like trees...

Have you hugged a tree today?
