bad news folks
turns out i can't come to woodbury anymore....:( !!!!!!
the bosses are out of town the same week as the trip, and seeing as I'm one of the only ones that knows how to do everything at little rock (im not being bigheaded, i seriously am the only one), I need to stay back and hold the fort.
i hope you guys have a blast though!!!
and someone can use my inflateable STARFISH to bask in the glorious sun with! its large, yellow, and realistic.....it says so on the box.
im going to go sweat all over the place now!
Im totally a winter child. I just want to get back to the hill. Its so much easier to dress up warmly than to shed off the clothes.

you know what else sucks? having two mosquito bites on your foot! that annoying ich that pulses inside your shoe! its annoying!!! There isn't mosquitos in winter

Oh, and for all you guys who demand my site be changed....you should be thanking me for providing you all with a winter escape!!!!
thats right.
thanking me!

the campgound of blinding....light?

yay folks, im back from the wilderness.
My hair is greasy, my clothes smell like campfire, and my freezer is stocked with leftover tofu dogs and veggie burgers. I wish weekends lasted longer than two days. Who decided that weekends should only be two days of the week anyway. Society could easily maintain economic stability on a 4 day work week. Sure you would have to cut corners here and there, but pay people enough to compensate for that extra day, it can happen.....in a perfect world....
I have yet again, been adorned with birthday blessings from my parents. As it stands, I am well on my way to being prepared to survive the wilderness for at least a few years. I've recently been equiped with a fishing rod, tackle & bait, licence, cooler, sleeping bags, and a sandwich cooker (for the campfire). I felt bad for putting Jason to shame in this area, but he has easily matched me (some may even say out-do me) for his purchase of the "theatre spotlight". This flashlight brings truth to the phrase "bigger is better". Not only can you blind your fellow neighbour, or flag down the Calgary Police Chopper (don't ask), but it makes for a great conversation starter.
"HOLY SMOKES, you could light a match with that thing"
"how bright is that"
"15 MILLION CANDLE POWER"
men in unison "whoa!!!!"

Theres no beating that.

So after an eventful camping trip to Beauveai Lake, the campground with two suns, I headed down to Lethbridge to meet up with jason at his parents house. So I know most of you have stories of how you've walked in on Walter Weins going to the washroom, or perhaps walking in his tighty whities, but hear me now......I beat you all!
I walk into their house and i hear the shower going. I assume its Jason, getting all nice and ready to see me (I assume to much i know ;) ). I continue unpacking my belongings from my parents car when i hear the shower stop. I approach the bathroom door, ready to knock, and the door swings open.............so it wasn't Jay. Fortunatly enough Walter had a towel covering "parts" of him, but I saw definite cheek action.....
Theres something not right about the fact that I've seen more of Jason's ol man than I have seen of Jay.
....Im never going to live this down.

So its technically my birthday tomarrow. Most of my day will involve me working, but thats ok, 22 won't feel much different from 21. Just another day of the week. It never really kicks in tell way after the fact.

I leave to Vancouver for the long weekend too!!!! I get to harass my sister for 3 days. Im starting to go through withdrawal, im sure Jason experiences the blunt end of that. hehe. Im excited for the Canada day dance and party boat!!!!! Im ready to bust-a-moove. Feel it? Feel it?!!!!! "Now dip down waaaaay low"

Thanks for the wine erin!!!! It would have been great to accompany it with cheese and pickles.....but my body and tastebuds are constantly at war. So far my bodies winning......damn!!

My once beautifully pedicured feet are now a massacre of mud, blisters, and bug bites, with nicely painted toenails. Kind of like a hostile, abstract, picasso painting....messy with an underlying beauty.......I really don't like feet.....or picasso for that matter......im definitly a Monet or Van Gogh.

I really need sleep. My brain is functioning quite sporatically. I think it needs to shut down before it crashes........
anyone guess what i am? two letters.....P and C.
MACS RULE!!!!

the end

whats the dilly. fer rilly... mo nilly shirilly

Its my birthday in 5 days!!!!
WAT UP 5 DAYS!!!!
Work today was fun
"Thats the perfect shade of dark blue dark blue"
"isn't it though?"
"yes, it really is"
"ya....."
"......."
"maybe it should be red"
"ya, red is nice"


I gave myself a pedicure tonite. GLORIOUS CLEAN FEET..you know what they say..a clean foot creates a soft heart......

now everyone go buy me presents

cheers

guess what guys!!!
i got my own desk today. not just a little guy, I mean the full wrap around kind, and a new LCD moniter (i think to tame my MAC urges temporarily). I also have my own phone so the secrectary can page me. I finally feel settled. We have a girl coming in tomarrow to do some training for a day (just to see if she likes it). I love my work!!!!! LOVE!

its my birthday on the weekend. i would celebrate with you all's, but Im goin CAMPIN!!!! busting out all my camping gear (yes, i even have a coleman stove), and becoming one with nature. My recent gut attack has left me pretty handicapped towards anything involving fat, red meat, poultry, cheese, butter, milk, ICE CREAM, egg yolks, anything deepfried or skillet fried in fat, oils, mayonnaise, salad dressings, CHOCOLATE, olives, nuts, donuts, pastries, potato chips (unless baked), coffee, caffeine, alcohol, carbonation, artificial sweeteners, artificial fats, MSG, and im sad to say thats just skimming the surface of what i all can't eat. Its a good thing i like seafood or I would be pretty screwed. So my week is going to involve baking cinammon-zuccini bread, seafood pastas, and home made salsas. Don't feel bad for me though, Im actually enjoying this diet, other than the shot of aloe vera juice that i have to take every morning.....you can feel bad for me for that.

life on the c-train (cattle train)

"You smell something?!!!!"
"totally"
"it smells like subway!!!"
"it smells like rotting children!!!!!"

......the wise words of our emofied culture

So I saw an eyepatch on the ground when i was walking home today. It was disgustingly intriguing. Don't worry, I didn't pick it up...but I won't lie, a part of me wanted to put it on and pose as a pirate.

there's peas in my fudge

I remember there being times when i wanted to give up on Graphic Design. The combination of my inner perfectionist and lack of direction really drove me crazy. But now Im so glad I pressed on and endured countless hours of instruction and exams to end up with a tremendous job. Im hired on as a full time graphic designer!!!! This week i've taken over the other graphic designer at little rock while she is gone on holidays. I've really surprised myself. Normally an assignment that takes me 2 weeks to prepare takes me 2 hours. I've designed countless posters, brochures, cd's, and tradeshow booths, and its only been a week. My boss's have been so impressed with my work, minus a stupid typo error on my first job.....good thing it was a donation.....idiot!!! haha. They had a good laugh. My life is a joke sometimes. He is also getting new MAC COMPUTERS for us designers to work on. MAC COMPUTERS........MAC COMPUTERS!! i like those.
anyways, I just want to thank all of you who have encouraged me, whether it was by praise or criticism, I take them both in stride.
And now im craving some deer sausage that Rodd Laing made one time. Man, I'd be so screwed if I ever fully made the connection between adorable Bambi and delicious venison. Hey, Subconscious, keep up the good work.

you know what really sucks?
when you and your boyfriend plan a fun camping trip to kananaskis and the built up excitment gets you through your workday and then you plan all the different places you will go and rush home after work to meet up with him and get in his car and start gushing out all the plans you made and........."were not going".
the next two weeks at my work are going to be so insane. i have to take over for the graphic designer while she's gone on holidays, finish a hugely retarded job for a client that im dreading, and be trained to cover the csr manager while she's on holidays. I really need a break....and not just the stay at home and do nothing one, because that makes me feel more useless than relaxing. i wanted to sleep in my rad tent with the smell of pine and campfire in my hair, with a belly full of smokies and smores, and the sounds of a crackling fire and chirping squirrels, and all with a beer in hand.

if anyone wants to go camping with me now, let me know, cause I would much rather do that then spend my time doing nothing here in c-town.
