Finishing Projects

Finally, I'm finishing up some projects. I only have a photo of one, so here it is:

147 of 420-ish. I so thought I was half way! Oh well.

I also finished a big red and brown blanket made just for me! More photos to follow!

Wedding Day!

Not for me (duh, I'm already married!), but for my friends Ashley and Shawn. This one has been a long time coming. Ash and Shawn hit a rough patch a while back, and broke up, but have been back together for over a year!

Basically, it's a very exciting day!

What A Compliment!

A few days ago, while posting photos from my recent vacation on Facebook, a friend who I haven't seen since high school or the year after messaged me with a great compliment.

She told me that me and the hubbs are super cute. How nice is that? So, I asked her why (obviously, I need to know why we're suddenly cute) and she told me it's because we just look so happy. How awesome is that? Not only are we cute (which we are) but it's because we look happy all of the time! Love it!

Just had to share the recent happy thing, since I'm still unsure of other recent events.

Have a good weekend all! I'm putting my photography skills to the test tomorrow with Ashley and Shawn's wedding - wish me luck!

Death In The Family

Before you get sympathetic, let me explain what happened.

My dad's mom died. She's been very sick for a long time, but she was in her 80s, so it was expected. She went into renal failure earlier this week and didn't last very long.

Now, about the sympathy part. I haven't decided how I feel about it. You have to understand that this woman was only my grandmother because she was my dad's mom. I met her twice in my whole life, and she never once called me on my birthday or at Christmas. My mom called and told me and I didn't feel a thing.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel. This was someone who I didn't know, who my father barely ever talked to, and someone who clearly didn't care too much for me, or just didn't know how to show it. So, basically, I feel nothing, but I'm not sure how I feel about not feeling, if that makes any sense.

Surprisingly, my dad was very upset. He finally told my mom a bit about why he left Nova Scotia, and why he doesn't have much to do with his mom. It definitely helped things make sense.

But there's where I'm at. So confused. Oh well.

Bring It On

Yep, I am watching that movie. The original, and best! I remember watching this in high school and loving it! Brings back some memories.

Today was actually a pretty good day. Eric showed up from Grande Prairie, which was so fantastic! Someone to help rein in the boys. It definitely made my day easier. And he's coming back tomorrow, and Troy is back Friday. Ah. Thank goodness for that!

Anyway, back to my movie...

Sick At Work

Today is definitely not my day in some ways. I felt great this morning, came to work, everything was normal. Then about an hour and a half into my shift, I felt a bit hungry so I grabbed an apple. Got caught up with something for about 10 minutes, then went back to my apple. And nausea overtook me. So badly! I was actually threw up, which is so rare for me.

And this happened to be the day my boss isn't here, and I'm in charge of running the guys. I can't even go home sick! Well, I probably could, but I worry about what would happen to this place if I left. I'm even scared to leave at 3.

Today was the day I was going to re-start the 17 Day Diet. I'm at such a crappy point right now, I need something that will work quickly, even if I can't work out a lot. Well, that kind of went down the tubes today. I had to run to the grocery store for gravol, and I've been munching crackers since. There goes the no carbs part of the diet! But I can't feel sick all the time. I must have taken my vitamins too soon after eating, or didn't eat enough. I have such a damn sensitive system. It's lame.

Anyway, I might just wait until Thursday to start the diet. I'm afraid of being sick for a couple of days. I'll just have to try to eat properly for the next bit, and see how it goes.

John just phoned me, and apparently when we bought our truck last month we were entered into a draw for a patio set. And we won! It works out perfectly because we're actually going to biuld our deck this summer (like, soon) and we were going to have to buy a set, but now we don't! Even if I don't like it, I like the price a lot! It's going to cost so much for the deck that I'll take anything free that I can get!

But, anyhow. I should get back to work, though I don't feel like doing a whole lot. I'll just answer the phones and emails! I can always catch up tomorrow!

Wish me good health! I don't wanna feel sick anymore!

Happy BC Day!

That's right! Today was a holiday in BC. Maybe other places too. All I know is that neither John or I had to work today! Can't complain too much about that, except that I don't get paid for it! Oh well.

We went with mom for a walk in the community forest today. You can see a whole lot of damage from when we had all the rain. There was a large part of the trail that was closed off, and quite a large section was ruined because of the machinery that had to be brought in to take out dangerous trees. I'd guess that the trails won't be back to normal until next spring. I guess we will have to find a new place to hike!

Anyway, my hubby has a headache and I feel that I should maybe take care of him. Have a good night all!
