Well, its been a while...

Oddly enough, I just received a comment in my almost two year old post and it reminded me that I still have this blog...sooooo, I guess I'll write about stuff.

Hmm...stuff to write about.

Well, for one thing, I am still quite busy. I coach and play sports still...ALTHOUGH I broke my Fibula in August.

Now, I've never broken a bone before in my LIFE...a few torn ligaments, sure, but I didn't know what a broken bone felt like...so when I collided with a large man while playing football, I just thought I pulled my calf or something...

So. I walked off the field, after the game I walked to my car, then to my house, then to my couch...sat there for a while before I thought that 'maybe' I should google 'symptoms of a broken bone'. Sure enough, broken bone....FML.

So I had a cast thing, then a boot thing, then a tensor. It FINALLY feels better now as my next sport starts this weekend...but I am going to be so out of shape its not even funny. I mean, I rode a bike, did hot yoga and weights but its not the same impact as running....so....if you don't actually hear from me again, I have died on the court.



My best friend got married this summer. So I took her to Spain on a little last 'single lady' kind of hurrah. We went to Cadaques as she has relatives there, we saw Dali's house, went in the ocean, and no trip is complete without being propositioned by some old Spanish guy on the train.

He could not speak very good English, so on the back on one of his sheets in his day planner he wrote:

"I say to you the follow:
That today, tonight I want, I like be, be, with you, doing company.
And I don't return to Jirona town, because, now, the train left me.
Do you want.
I promise to you that's will like
Me gustos mucho y quiero Hacerte el amor, I que me lo hayas.
You like very much to me, I want sex with you, just do it for you, and,
if your friend girl want."

Well... I probably looked at him like he was crazy, then told him in Canada, we all wait until Marriage before we engage in such activites...which he didn't believe...hmmm....so we literally ran away from him.



It was a great wedding as it was completely outdoors without any electricity and the only thing that was flowing like water was the wine. I was the first to go ass over tea kettle down the hill in my 4 inch heels (while keeping my drink in tact...a very amazing skill that I didn't know I had) but I was the LAST one to pass out... I also did the speech, which I of course improvised, after a few helpings of wine...but the next morning everyone said my speech was great and my best friend was still talking to me...soooo....point for me!



Finally, I wanted to test the theory if blonds really do have more fun, so I dyed my hair. I am now a brunette. Its going well, people actually are friendlier to you....(this one chick in my industry who I could have sworn HATED my guts...is now giving me helpful tips and being nice) and the douche bag ratio has gone down... (douche bag ratio being guys met to guys who turn out to be douche bags. It is usually 2:1...now I think its more like 3:1) I will continue to give a douche bag report from time to time.

And thats all...to the random dude who requested an update...there you have er!

I'm out.

Feb Wrap Up!

Ok, so i know its basically mid march, but I have been a busy, busy girl...regardless, here is my Feb wrap up!

I really didn't do much, and its kind of a short month. I coached a ton and worked a ton....but here are the fun things I did manage to do.

Rock Band! We had a 80s themed rock band party just for fun...and fun it was! We rocked it out until the wee hours of the morning.





Road Trip! Me and Jim joined forces with another Winnipeg Handball team that was going to a tournament in Regina for the weekend. We played, drank, got bruised/broken/beaten and it was all n all a great time!!

On the way to Regina, we stopped in Moosomin for GAS and a rest room break....BUT the gas stations rest room was out of order so we had to go to DQ next door...BUT you couldn't just pee and flee so I had to buy a ice cream. haha.



Against Saskatchewan, I rolled my ankle, (which rolls about a million times a season) and I didn't have an ice pack, but I did find freezies. I call this invention 'ice n eat'.



I got to ref some of the games in the tournament (yay beer money!) So here I am giving Jim a red card for lookin sooo good after playing 3 games and reffing 2 that day.



Jim, me and the team we joined up with.



Finally, going home...lookin a little rough. hahaha.



so yeah, nothin too razzle dazzle in February. Mainly stayed inside...March is already way more of a gong show so stay tuned :)

January Wrap Up

Ok, so I'm gonna try to do a monthly update on my blog here but I am sooo busy! I will try my darndest though and so far I'm one for one because this is my January Report:





Moved my box! My box is gone, I moved it out the first weekend in January and started my holiday vacation.





Went to Vegas! For a week, it was a lot of fun and I got to visit with my team mate Heather who is working in Vegas until April. I did a TON of shopping cause I'm a girl with money so thats how I roll. haha! I got to do a lot of walking too and pretty much explored every hotel (and every mall) my favorite hotel is the Wynn...I would totally stay there next time I go.



Mini Golf/Malanka Celebration: I celebrated Ukrainian new years by going mini glow golf with some of my closest friends, we had a great time even though it wasn't the best display of putting.

Super Hero Party: My buddy had a super hero themed birthday party and i went as super hump...my super power was dry humping (as the photo proudly shows) It was a gong show and a lot of fun and a great excuse to dry hump everyone. haha!



Being a nerd: Back to being a nerd, its freezing here (-50C all week this week) so now I've been finishing my website, I'm having problems with my web site host though because they are upgrading platforms and none of my dynamic pages are working on the new platform so now I have to go and reconfigure everything.....baaaaah!

My 2007 Wrap Up!

To those of you who wanna know what went down in 07' for me heres my 2007 wrap up!

Traveling: I traveled both near and far in 2007...I was lucky enough to go to...



Ireland, me and my best friend Jaimie went to visit my buddy Nick and we had a gong show of a time while we were there (read: not a day went by without a guiness in my hand...)




Switzerland, to visit my beautiful friend Lynda: who played football with me before she moved to Luzern.



Needless to say, we were a gong show and had a lot of fun until the gong show of all gong shows....



In Milano, Italy...where I learned that 'Grappa' truly is crappa...ugh! Worst...drink...ever... and then we also learned that beer is like 8 euros, so the cheapest thing to drink were shots of rum with pear chasers... (as seen above) surprised I didn't die that night.



Apparently on top of mount Pilatus...I figured I needed more cowbell...

It was a fun trip, I would like to go back one day in the near future.

New Family Member:



My family adopted a cute little mutt...Her name is Ella and she's rott, husky and lab cross...but she's a very cute little girl. This was taken in June so she's a little bigger now and still a brat.

Camp 07:



Yep, we worked camp again, my mom keeps on saying its her last year but here we are again, year after year (and still having fun...) This year I implemented a happy meter.

Football Gong Show:



My team decided to go be a gong show in Regina again this year, and once again, we were a gong show.

GONG SHOW 2007:



My friend Shanna was leaving to Australia and I wanted to give her a going away party that she wouldn't forget...of course the going away party was just her and me being ridiculous but it was fun...



And she passed out so I was upset..



And I may have decorated her with plants, etc...

Halloween 07:



I wasn't home for halloween, but that didn't stop me from going to a halloween social...me and Jaimie's bf were both Fairies...pink fairies to be exact! His legs looked waaay better than mine but I beat him up top :)

New York, New York!



I was part of a trade show in New York in October. New York is an amazing city
so I will definitely be back!



Me on my box.



I was there on Halloween...best...halloween...costumes...ever!



For some reason, I thought this was appropriate... :)

My box in Winnipeg:



I opened my kiosk again for the Christmas months...Lots of work, but I got Christmas and New Years off so that was a nice rest....and I'm done in 4 days! woo woo! And then its off to Vegas for a week!

Happy 2008 to all! Hope you all have a great year!

My New Hair!

I got my hair done, this time my hairdresser put more brown in it than she ever has.

I like it :)

Random Photos of Oddness

My family...is...well...a pretty funny family so here are some photos of our trip.

At least you guys know that its not just me now...it runs in the family...


Making a mockery of the lifeboat drill.


Hoping to run into some seamen...hahaha.


Making a mockery of a certain Titanic scene.


My dad couldn't figure out his chefs hat.


I couldn't resist...


My dad pretending he was locked up.


My brothers with their 'dates'...they were mocking the couples we found all making out along the beach.


A coconut...(I'll save you all from my witty commentary here)


Me and my bros with our serving guys Made, Dino and Nixon (who were all awesome)


And my brother Jord beating his sis (who may or may have not been drunk, but judging by how I forgot to use my legs at my first handball game back...I'll say drunk) and Chris in a post dinner scrabble match.

Thats all I got, now I gotta jett to practice.

Part 2: Ports of Call

(Those bratty brothers of mine do clean up nicely)

We had a wonderful time visiting some of the ports of call on our cruise.


(me with this guy who owned an ass farm and Oprah (his ass)...he actually is originally from Minnesota)

In St.Thomas, it was a pain to get to the downtown area, but when we did there was some really great shopping. The markets were disappointing to me though, don't try to sell me a knock off Coach bag for 70 bucks telling me that the materials used are genuine leather. I just totally scored at a Coach outlet back home and bought a gorgeous (and genuine) bag for 130...so...I wasn't sold on the cheapo bags. Aaaand to make matters worse, they wouldn't even negotiate.



Dominica was the least commerical of all the ports. As you can see on our faces, we were feelin a little awkward in this photo because there was a homless lady peeing like 10 feet away from us behind a tree and we didn't notice until we got down there...and my mom didn't realize as she was taking the photo...and I Jordan didn't even really notice till we whispered it to him.

My mom and I went tubing down the river here, and it was an absolute blast! I was laughing my ass off the whole time cause most of the people going down the 'class 3 rapids'(...I'm not kidding, they were not like Red Lake Falls thats for sure) were older people...and they were getting bashed all over the place, my aunties tube exploded on a rock, some guy went down the wrong path and basically had to go over some falls...hilarous.



In Curaco, I bought booze. (curaco liquor for like 5 bucks a bottle) This was my favorite port because the Holland influence and the pretty buildings. (ha, I'm such a girl) It had a really cool bridge that changed colors at night too.

Our ship didn't leave till late, so we went to a piano bar to have some bevvies. The bevvies were strong, not watered down like back home so needless to say a strong bevvie + me being a cheap drunk was a good time. My aunt decided to get creative and have a 'photo shoot' on this path that had cool lighting.



Aruba we hit the beach. It was a very beautiful beach, the sun was out, the water was nice...and despite me telling my family...'ok, time to get outta the water, you'll all be burnt to a crisp' the didn't heed my warning and got burnt. But at least they had fun :)

More to come.

Part 1: Havin fun and stayin in shape.

The first few days of our trip were very good. I only lost my camera once (I found it though, left it on the bus...brilliant.) and only 'thought' I lost my passport once…

It was my brothers first time on a plane so they were going through the ‘stages’ as they called it. The first was excitement “woo we’re going on a plane”, the second was denial “I’m not scared”, the third was fear “holy @(! I’m getting on a plane” and the fourth (which we didn’t get to thank goodness) was puking. They both did very well.

I went to what I like to call “the happiest place on Earth” (well, it’s a close second to my hometown...which I normally dub the happiest place on Earth cause I live there). What is this place you ask? It is Saw Grass Mills outlet mall. Amazing. I bought 8 shirts/dresses for 30 bucks. Who does that? My word. And as if I need more clothes right Jaimiesson? Hahaha.

My brother Chris also scored…its hard not too with amazing stores like Lacoste and Banana Republic are at discount prices. (which I also bought things at….hahaha…more clothes)

Our driver was this firecracker of a lady named Jessica who was originally from Puerto Rico. Not only was she fantastic at telling stories but she drove like a bat outta hell on those turnpikes.

I told my ladies at home that I would be all fat and slow for handball when I got back...but as you can see, I seem to have found a 'loop hole'...I can drink and be active at the same time whilllle still looking classy.



hahaha..ok, maybe not classy...

More to come. :)
