graduation

no i don't think i'm gonna go, i don't wanna take the day off of work, and it's a really long drive and my dad's back is killing him.

today i went to see tony and ashleigh's baby, Gabriella, and she barfed all over me, like projectile vomiting and everything.

first day of work was great, everyone is nice, but i don't remember anyone's name. I'm getting nervous though cause i have a meeting with clients on tuesday..but other than that, it's not bad, i opened up two real estate deals on friday and put a death certificate on title...and had a really long lunch and didn't get in trouble!!!!

An Update Blog!

First off - Congrats Nikki on ur new job!!! :) that's awesome! Can't wait to hear how ur first day went!!

Hmm new with me...not a whole hell of a lot lol - I've been actively looking for a job...nothing has come of my hard work yet tho. I'm going to be volunteering at a lawyer's office in town in June..if I don't have a real job by then - keep ur fingers crossed for me. I've been contemplating going outside the city being as there are zero jobs here right now...but the thought of leaving scares me lol - I'm a chicken - what can I say.

I've been keeping busy tho - hanging out with my friends and working - we're currently redoing the house too - right now we're working on the living room, dining room, hallways - it's a huge job - kinda hard to do them separately when it's an open concept kinda deal - so all at once it is! lol - it's been a huge pain in the ass - but slowly but surely it's coming along. I'm thinking about tackling my bathroom - but we'll wait and see - my mom keeps telling me to just go in and take all the wallpaper down lol - peer pressure I tells ya!!

My brother left for Germany last Thursday - I'm so jealous! lol - I want to go somewhere so bad!! Everyone seems to be doing something cool these days...I wanna do something cool!! haha. But he called at 7:30am on Friday morning to let us know they got there and their bikes made it too - so that's cool. He's back in June...I'm trying to get the day off work so that I can go with my dad to pick them up from the airport.

Hmm what else?? June is a busy month for me...probably just as well I'm not working full time lol - I gots my volunteer thing, then Garrett comes home, then Ryan leaves for Ireland, then my mom's work is having a huge block party in Toronto which should be fun times!!, then graduation, then Kim's wedding and Garrett and Ju's birthdays - crazy month - but I'm so looking forward to it!!

Speaking of graduation - dunno if I'm gonna go or not...seems like it's gonna be all long and boring and as long as they mail me my diploma...I don't really care about walking across yet another stage...I've already done that like 3 times. Nik...u coming back for it??

Hmm but I think that's about it for new stuff on my end.

I Gots me a...

Job!!!! yay.......i start tomorrow though, who starts work on the friday before the long weekend?? anyways nothing new just wanted to say that i am finally employed

The guy on the left is getting married - they were there for his bachelor party - the guy on the right came over and introduced him to us and asked me to take a picture of them lol...so I did - interesting people in Peterborough! lol

The Long Awaited Blog

I haven't written in a while cause well...nothing has been happening! lol It's been nice doing nothing - but I suppose I better start looking for a job and all that good stuff.

Hmm let's see...I went out for dinner with all my friends last nite for Matt's birthday then we went and played some pool - I took some pics - I'll post when I get them off my camera.

I'm thoroughly tired today - and stiff too lol - I fell asleep on the little couch this afternoon...for like an hour and a half - it was most uncomfortable - but I was too lazy to move to a better spot - so I get what I get. lol

Hmm well I think that's about it...exciting I know! lol

P.S. Love the shorts on Mikey....they are very...shiny. lol

This is Chucky's standin

Not too sure what happened here...we know i'm not camera shy

This week has sucked ass

So, last saturday i moved home and had the best ride ever. I had to sit on the floor of a truck for over 5 hours....and it didn't help that i was the tallest, or that there were metal poles digging into my back.

Than i spent sunday and monday unpacking and cleaning. Tuesday I got ready to go into Sarnia to hand out resumes and i experienced the worst pain ever! So help me god if child birth is the same, i'm adopting. It was excrutiating, how i made it to Stace's house is beyond me. I could barely move or breath, but it hurt to sit still. So i'm sure my parent's were trilled when i called them and said "I'm at emerg".....my dad's all "uh, what?" so i burst into tears and told them....i said i wasn't sure when i'd get home, and sure enough, my parent's showed up, which made me happy. Anyways, i was there for close ato 4 hours and the doctor only saw me for like 3 minutes. oh well the morphine was nice, until it wore off and i was back at the hospital.

then they gave me percecets or whatever and they make you puke, so there's nothing like being in pain, half asleep, can barely move cause the pills knocked you on your ass, and than pucking your guts out....and this wasn't nice puke, this was almost fall asleep and before you know it your puking over the side of you bed kinda puke.

anyways, i've been really drowsy, and my tummy hurts, so i haven't done much, exceptsleep...if anything important pops up i'll write..

oh yeah, so i cried for like 30 minutes straight last night watching Third Watch....I though it was a really nice ending and they didn't kill Bosco or Sully...I started bawling though when Carlos went to see Doc...that was so nice, and I was so made at my dad cause he so called Cruz getting herself blown up with a grenade...bastard...can't say i was too thrilled with her kissing bosco, but oh well..it was a really good episode....everything made me cry the last half hour, the song that played, and when the leutenant said "the third watch is dismissed" and than when Tye and Sully said good bye to each other, and they when they showed Bosco 10 years later chasing after some kid...aww i'm gonna cry again....

Feel Better Nikki!

Coming from personal experience I know how much it sucks to be stuck in the hospital, have tests done and not really knowing what's wrong until you get said tests back - not to mention the pain!! Be happy they gave u morphine - I was told to take advil when I got home - it did fuck all!! lol Normally I would be flooding ur email with get well ecards - but it is my understanding that internet is excrutiatingly slow...hence writing on the blog. One thing I can't stress enough...CALL ME!! lol - and I'll call you too - I'm an excellent source of information if you do have the same thing I had. Hopefully it's not serious and something that will take nothing to fix!! :) Hope you're feeling better soon! and call me!!

P.S. Stay away from student nurses - even when they are really hot - it's not worth the pain lol.

So I had the most stressful day ever - I feel like such an adult it's scary - juggling life like crazy. I get up this morning all is well and good. I have an interview at 2pm in Lindsay - no prob - switched stuff around at work to make things flow nicely. Get a call back from the place that intereviewed me on Monday - they want a second interview - I'm sooo all over that!! But it's at 3pm....back in Ptbo. I think it's ok- I can do this! Then I remember - right I can't fly or stop time and I drive a firefly - there's no way I can get to Lindsay at 2 have an interview and make it back by 3. So let the stressing begin. I call my Lindsay appointment to see if I can't get it moved ahead - no answer - leave a message. Call my Ptbo. appointment ask if I can move it back - but no luck. I'm stuck with 2pm and 3pm - oh yeah and work at 4 - I'm a popular girl. So hoping I'll have some luck - I leave my house at 12:30 and get to Lindsay by 1pm and the girl was all - I just got ur message and I'm glad u came early! I was just gonna call you to come in. I'm like - that's great!! Good thing too - I was there for an hour!! I had to answer questions (obviously) and then she put me on her computer to write a letter and make up labels - weird I thought - but anywho... and then I taught her a few things about Microsoft Word and I was on my way. I was back on the road by 2:10 and made it back into Ptbo by 2:45 - parked where I was allowed to park...I got a parking ticket last time...and went in. I had my ego nicely stroked when they told me I had excellent references and that I was one of the top three candidates...I'm trying my best not to get too excited - cause there is still a chance - actually a big chance I could not get the job - but I'm staying optimistic - and how wicked cool would that be to get a job 2 weeks after graduating!! Man!! Then I made it to work on time - it was a crazy day and I'm exhausted - don't know how well I'm gonna sleep - they said they were gonna call me tomorrow morning to let me know - and if I get it - I'll start on Monday!!! :O I'm a tad overwhelmed. I'll let you know how it goes. Oh yeah - they offered to pay my parking ticket too!! lol how nice is that?!

Anywho...that was my crazy day. I'm out.........

I forgot!

I forgot about the story about when the gas man told me I was beautiful!! lol

Ok so I pull into the gas station and the guy who always serves me comes up to the window and says hello - how ru?? I say - I'm good - how are u?? He says - good - do u work at Walmart?? I say..huh?? no. He says ahh well there is a picture of a girl at the photo place at Walmart - she looks like you - I thought maybe it was you - she was beautiful - like urself. I said aww thank you! He's always super nice...too bad he's way too old for me! lol - always attracting the old men...oi - guys my own age...no interest whatsoever - but their dads - all over me!! lol cruel world I tells ya!

What a Crazy Day!

So I got up today thinking today was gonna be a nice easy day...was I wrong!! lol Not only was there freak weather - but freaky things were happening too...I took my resume to an office downtown and like an hour later they called me for an interview - so I was full of nervous energy the rest of the day - I went to my mom's office to go through a trial run and get some answers straight in my head.

Then I went for my interview and it only lasted like 20 mins...but I think it went ok - especially when I got a parking ticket - that was fun. And when the lawyer noticed my car getting ticketed - that was funner!! lol Nothing like breaking the law when ur being interviewed by a lawyer...opps - my bad. lol

And the place in Lindsay called and asked me to come in for an interview this wednesday - so I'm quite shocked at how fast this is all happening - mind you I likely won't get these jobs - but man - it was speedy.

Sunday

This morning I got up and my parents were going to Costco - so I'm like - I'll come too - ok - so we head out to Costco where my parents spend like $500 :O crazy - but we got lots of good stuff!! lol Should hope so eh??

Then beside it there's a mall...so in we go and I spend like $100 - but I got a great outfit! And shocker!! I bought a skirt - it's really cute - it's black and flatters me quite nicely if I do say so myself lol - and I got a tshirt and a jacket to wear with it - not too shabby.

I finished my book last nite before bed - it was very good. and other than that - that was my weekend - it was very good!! Tomorrow I'm going out to look for a job - gonna take my resume everywhere and hope for the best.
