Short Version of this week...

Monday I had school, then Rovers (we went bowling but I didn't bowl, my knee was bothering me). John came with me and registered as part of the crew. We have a new girl, her name is Shivani and she is from India. She is here on an exchange with the Rotary Club and she seems very nice! The people who went were John, Shivani, Will, James, Cory, Rick, Andy and two of Cory's friends from work (Skye and someone...).

Tuesday was a day from HELL!!! :( I had a migraine when I woke up (the weather must be changing) so I took a Motrin and a Tylenol Max and went back to sleep for a couple of hours. I had class all afternoon so John dropped me off around 12:15 and picked me up when I was finally done sectionals just after 7. We went out to see Holly at work and grabbed something to eat and then came home and he went to work.

Today I dropped him off, went to class, came home and cleaned/organized and then tonight I went out for dinner with Will. We went to the Mongolie Grill and it was ok... Sometimes a bit awkward but there doesn't seem to be any way around that. Afterwards I dropped stuff off to Julie for the Silent Auction this weekend and ran over to Rick and Joyce's to drop off a thank you card for Larry.

Now, I am home and I am going to continue cleaning/organizing. I always feel like the place has to be spotless when I have friends over... I am stressing out because I don't think it will be totally clean by the time I have to leave tomorrow. :( I am trying my hardest though! (Who needs sleep? Honestly!) I do need to get a bit of sleep so I can function to drive tomorrow though... Whatever, back to the grindstone!

Today in point form.

Today I did the following:

- Slept in until 11am (because I could and I have been exhausted recently).
- Hung out with my grandpa.
- Went shopping with my mom and brother.
- Dealt with my dad on a number of topics.
- Went to Ken and Trevor's birthday party (the pizza part, I was dealing with family stuff before it).
- Talked to Ben, nothing was really resolved, in fact, I felt worse after.
- Picked John up and organized groceries for the week.
- Drove to Lethbridge.
- Talked to Holly about the Cabaret.
- Talked to my mom and found out my grandpa is at the ER at the Lougheed because his back was bothering him so much.
- Now... I am going to bed.

Interesting... Birthdays and THING and such.

I keep forgetting how much blogging at the end of the day calms me down... It helps me get to sleep and it's no wonder if that's the case that I haven't been sleeping so well lately.

Hmmm....

This weekend has been quite interesting thus far...

Friday night I went out with Taryn, Jan, Ben, Mika and Stephen for Taryn's birthday. The six of us went to the Wildwood pub (which was actually pretty nice) and then Ben and Stephen left and the four of us went to Karouzo's for their karaoke night. I sang "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and "I Will Survive" and Mika sang "My Way" and we did "If I Had $1,000,000" together. Taryn didn't sing but she did get sung to and she had to do a muff diver (it's a shot) from between some random guys legs. It was pretty amusing and we took tons of pictures/videos. :) I was expecting a call from Ben and never heard from him and Laurel and I talked while I was on my way home. I miss talking to her at random times during the week...

Today I slept in and then went to the bank (to get a new debit card, mine hasn't been swiping properly), to Axe Music (to pick up a silent auction donation and look at/buy a Djembe) and then to Chinook to find a dress for next weekend (the Cab is next Saturday). I spent some time hanging out at the mall once I found a couple of dresses and put them on hold and then met up with my mom to get her opinion and to buy one. We also went to the Build-a-Bear Workshop and made a bear to go with the "Valentine's Gift Basket" that we are making for the Silent Auction. His name is "Valentino" and he is white with a blue nose and he is wearing a tux (complete with shoes) and is holding roses. He is VERY cute. :) Afterwards, I went to the church and worked on some homework and played Zuma while I waited for other people to show up and THING to start. The talk was really good and it created a lot of conversation/discussion afterwards during small groups. After THING, we went to Moxie's and I talked Trevor into going with us. It was awesome to hang out with him, I don't get to do that very often. I sat at the same end of the long table as Matt, Trevor and Britney. It was nice to get a chance to converse about things that weren't mainstream... Meaning, we talked about a ton of different things, basically from the crude to the lame to the indepth, hard hitting stuff. It was interesting.

Now, I'm home and going to bed P.D.Q. Tomorrow I am doing some random stuff, including shopping for the rest of the stuff for the basket with my mom and going to Trevor and Ken's joint birthday party or "BIRTHDAY PANDEMONIUM" at Fish Creek and then Ken's house. Eventually, I will drive back to Lethbridge as I have class on Monday morning... For now, off to bed I go!
