Ways to spend your Friday night.

(Based on a true story)

1.Sing in a choir of many ages.
2.Sneeze practically all day(but that doesn't count because it's not night)
3.Eat some delish food..and some not so good.
4.Watch Ratatoille(sp?)
5.Chase a little cute boy around a church(all in fun people, it's wasn't as if I was actually chasing him if you get what I mean)
6.Go visit your friend at work when they are technically closed
7.Spend an hour in shoppers Drug Mart


So yeah that basically sums up my night.
Our church had their vision banquet and I was helping out with the children which there was only two of so it wasn't bad.
After Kelsey and Neighdine(haha Private Joke) and me went to visit Angela at Arby's. We got there like 3 minutes before they closed but we knew the manager type person so it was okay.
Of course it was Friday night and we couldn't go home at ten o clock so I suggested SDM Where we spent an hour going down every aisle. Okay I lied..we missed like three.
We bought mini eggs which we feasted on the whole way home.

It was fun.

Tomorrow I don't believe I am doing anything. So I will sleep late and go to bed early to make up for the last week.

Seriously this week has been going so slow. I keep thinking that it is friday or something and then I remind myself it is only Wednesday.
I haven't been finding anything particularily noteworthy so I haven't been posting but today I promised myself if there were new posts from someone else I also would post.

My Special Project:
I am knitting a toque to match the scarf I just made. This will be the first time I have done anything besides a scarf so it should prove to be exciting.
The pattern is called 'one ball really easy instant chemo cap'.
Hmm, don't worry I am not getting cancer.
I will put up pictures of both creations after the toque is finished.

Right now I am trying to:
Fill out my application for camp.
Get this terms school done.

I got a t4 on monday. I had this niggling(haha) thought in the back of my mind about T4's so at like 11:30 that night I look in my box of papers and just as I had thought there was my T4 from last year. I had no idea what it was so I had forgotten about it which lost me a whole 24 dollars.
This time I will be smarter..especially since it's $80.

I have to go for supper.
Ta-ta

Kimono.

Lately I haven't had anybody to talk to.
Like the deep conversations about what is going on in my life.
I don't know if that's whats putting me in this mood or what.
*Shrug* I don't really know anything right now.

Yesterday. There was helping out at the food bank. And then we went and had lunch at East Side Mario's with my auntie and cousin. Looked around the mall a bit but I had been there the day before so there wasn't anything new I hadn't seen yet.

I ended up going to youth even though I hadn't thought I was going to.
Since the boys were going to floor hockey they dropped me off at 6:20.
I was feeling depressed so I went into the nursey with the lights off and lied down in the crib,listening to music. I rarely do things like that(Crib lying is not high on my priority list :P).

An hour later Ryan found me and some other people came in and just talked for a while.
It was a whole bunch of nothing the whole night. But it was okay.
I went to bed at like 12:30 and slept til 2:30 today.

And today has been a lazy day.
I didn't really accomplish anything besides cleaning my room.

Tomorrow is church and then a welcome home party for Nadine. I am so happy that she is back.

Strap on your seatbelts.

Hannah is in a very talkative mood today. And the events of her life must be shared.










So
Enter Hannah 7:30(?) in the morning. Mom woke me up to say she and Cade were leaving to drop him off at Hammonds house.(pause:I always seem to be awake when my mom comes in. it's like I sense her coming so I wake up..strange)
I had been waiting for this since last night. Quickly I run downstairs to Cades room flick at his mouse to awaken his screen and..rush of disapointment.
You see I while ago I wanted to record my songs on his computer but he said I could only if he was there. Duh like I was going to do it when he was there. But then I discovered that his computer is password protected. And its an XP so if you leave to go to screensaver when you come back you have to log in again. I has been hoping that if I was quick enough I could get down there before it went to screensaver.
Trust me I have tried all the passwords out there. His password hint is appropriately "HHAHA you will never figure it out.'

Bummer. I went back upstairs listened to a tape and then went back to sleep again.
I actually slept for a while. And then I listened to another tape. And I was done school for the day. Well I could have done more but I didn't feel like it.
I was in my room reading when the phone rang. It was for me. Noah came into my room and said 'There's a boy on the phone, maybe he's going to ask you out on a date.' first thoughts: I wish. Second thoughts: You shouldn't be thinking about things like that Noah!

I knew that the only 'boys' that would phone me would be Ryan or Ken. I was hoping for the former. No such luck. I agreed to work 3:30-9 even though I was missing an 18 dollar guitar lesson and you can't get your money back. Not to mention bible study.
I went to the library. Michels. That store is just a fountain of good items. And reasonably priced too! I bought some more yarn too but they didn't have lime green like I wanted.

I went to work. It was really wierd. And a truck came in. I have never worked when a truck was there. Number of times Ken profusely thanked me for coming in: 3 I was kind of hoping for more but no :P.

That was basically it.

Cade picked me up and we went to the church for the ending of bible study.
I had so much energy after that. I was literally bouncing all over the place.

Then me Cade and Tim went to A&W, of course I had to get something. The kids meal. chicken finger things. And this time the lady was kind enough to put DUNKAROOS in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh my gosh. my first time having Dunkaroos.

We came home and I went on Facebook. Nothing has changed. Very much a waste of my time.
I need to take up something like dancing to get rid of all this energy.

Tomorrow I am going to have an adventure. And I will bring a camera. For all those candid shots. That I will put on here. Yes.
Tomorrow.




Lollipop.

Going, going...

Ah, the sense of accomplishment when you finish something that doesn't look half bad.
It's just not the sort of thing..(well the sort of colour to be more precise) that I am into right now.
So if you want it, it's yours.
If I get more than 1 person who wants it...I'll figure that out if I come to it.
I made this in 3 days. I am quite proud of myself. And it's the first time I have done tassels on a scarf.

Here is the church and here is the steeple.

So.
Yesterday I worked. It wasn't terrible but there is just always this bad feeling when I go to work. I don't know why since I actually have a lot of fun there.
But anyway, fast forward to about 8:15 ish. I was doing a table run and on the headset for drive-thru somebody is ordering 3 chocolate timbits. Erin made a joke that it must be one of those people who are on a diet and they are splurging right now. I was out on the lobby so I was only hearing all this on headset then all of the sudden Corey comes over to where I can see and he has a bouqet of flowers in his hands and he said they were for me. He read the card and it said they were from Fritz. Immediatly I knew who they were from.
Has anybody seen Catch and Release? Me and Kandace watched it a couple weekends ago. It was allright..Kandace loved it :).
So I rush outside and there she is.
Very exciting. Def. made my day.

Today I was going to go to my music lesson but last night my mom came into my room and she asked if I had been planning to go with the Hammonds up to Sunpeaks on Wednesday. Because Cade wanted to go but he has his lesson then. And she wanted to know if I would switch lessons so he could go.
I really wanted to go. But ..it was wierd something just came over me and I decided I should let Cade go since he hasn't been up yet.
I wonder if I am ever going to be able to ski with them.

So I should be getting back to school..

Aw.

Fritz brought me flowers at work!
Thank you and I love you!!

Fit's me to an 'L'?

Sorry my wierd sense of humour just kicked in there.

You Are a Lemon

You have a very distinct personality. And if you're not being sweet, you're a little hard to take. You're a bit overpowering, especially in one on one situations. And while you are very dominant, sometimes your power is needed and appreciated. You can liven up a dull situation, and you definitely bring a fresh outlook. You are a bit of an acquired taste, and you tend to grow on people over time. People feel refreshed and rejuvenated after spending time with you.

Haha, and I thought it was going to be a breeze not having Facebook.
I am getting those signs.
Nervous twitches,blurring of the eyes,tapping of the body.

(revolution)

It drives me nuts when I think about how easy it is for us to get stuck in a rut.
"Oh, I am comfortable where I am. I don't want to challenge myself by going out and doing something better."
The rut of Sin, of broken relationships, of not going out and doing what God wants you to.
So many times I have felt I should do something and yet I don't because that would be out of my comfort zone. In your mind you are thinking that your friends would think less of you when really it's probably the opposite and Satan is just blocking you so you can't see that.

Did I tell you about that time in Mexico? They had a Kareoke night and I watched and waited knowing that I wanted to go up there but I didn't have the nerve to.
Well the show ended and I still hadn't gone up. The rest of the night I felt terrible.
I literally couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about how I should have gone up.
Well luck was on my side and there was another Kareoke night. This time I did go up. I sang. It was horrible not even joking ask Matthew or Cade. But even though I had sucked after I came off and I was happy. It wasn't the end of the world and I even felt better because I had gone the extra that I wouldn't normally do.

It feels so good when we go that extra step. We shouldn't be caring about other people only God.
God is the one who we should be pleasing.

So, this is my 'sermon' of the night. I do believe it is the first time I have ever done anything like this. Look, already God is changing me :P. I just hope that you can learn something from this.



So.
I just want to end with this verse. It might not really be about what I was saying but it has just been speaking to me.

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to those whose hearts are breaking.

Friday Fill-ins

1. Snowdrops are frozen water.
2. I'm going to cut the rest of my hair.
3. Hey Jude is a song whose lyrics have meaning to me.
4. Just one sip and you'll be fine.
5. My guitar lesson room is where I'm happiest.
6. I believe that laughter is a necessary part of life.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going on a date with myself, tomorrow my plans include serving women and Sunday, I want to go to step up 2!

Can you say Abstaining?

Good bye Facebook.
Well not forever.
One week.
I am putting myself to the test.

:(

Happy singles awareness day, Happy Valentines day and most importantly Happy Birthday Sean.
I can't begin to say how excited I was about today. I had decided that I was probably going to go out for dinner by my self all fancy and dressed up and then if the girls still wanted to do something I would hang out with them.
I had a bath shaved my legs was doing my makeup all nice and I even got my mom to cut my hair, well she started. A couple minutes into the hair cut the phone rings. I told mom it was probably for me thinking it was Ang in the phone so I go pick it up..it's Krystin. Like supervisor Krystin telling me that she had called everybody else and she knew that I wanted to watch my show but could I please come in and work. Being the good little girl I am I agreed. And so I missed my brothers Birthday dinner and having a nice dinner for myself and everything else I had planned just to earn basically 50 bucks. Think it was worth it?
I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO FINISH CUTTING MY HAIR.
So this February 14th was not the best for me.

Today

So, some of the reason I have not been posting that much was because I don't want to be one of those people who just post about their day anymore. But I need to make an exception for today.
It was going good today, I was doing all my school early and even though my mother wasn't home I wasn't getting sidetracked like I usually do when she isn't around. After I was finished school I check email watched corner gas with Matthew had lunch then started 'Becoming Jane' the movie about Jane Austen.*Side note..it was good*
When I was about 20 minutes from the end my mom comes in and she sayd that I have to go in with Cade and I am leaving in ten minutes. It's amazing how fast I can go when I am pushed.
So we leave(me taking the movie to finish later) and we go to Cade's lesson. I walk to the bank, get out some money and then went to Starbucks. I was pretty brave and I actually talked to the women more then just telling her my order.
I had been wanting to know if the mocha hot version actually tastes the same as the mocha frappicino so I asked her if they did. She said they were slightly different but if she puts some vanilla shots in it should make up the difference and it actually worked which is good because I was tired of getting the mocha frappicino every time I went.
And while I was waiting in line I saw this chocolate cupcake in the bakery section. It looked so pretty I needed to get but I don't like chocolate. I decided to buy it then find somebody to give it to later.
Then I go to Shoppers get some things and walk back. And wait for a while. I thought I was going to be late but I was like 12 minutes early I don't know how I did it. I guess it was my speedywalk.
Then we go to the church. I watched the rest ofmy movie. And then I just waited around for Cade and Alex to be done their bass lesson. I was getting bored and annoyed to I borrowed Alex's ipod and was listening to music. At one point I was watching them and all of the sudden I started crying. And so I turn around to go sit on a couch and there is Jess.
We just stood hugging for a while until I got over it and then we just sat on the couches talking about random things. Max came in then and we talked about music mainly.
Cade finally came and we went to get some supper. We came back I ate my food and went into a back sunday school room and played guitar. I wrote a new a song and(drumroll please) I actually completed it.Which is big since I have never completed one before.
Kelsey came to find me but I didn't want to go down so she left. I just played random stuff for a while. It was hard to concentrate because there was a band practising on the stage and they were really loud.
Later I did end up being with people for a while. We were trying to figure some bible verses that was okay. It was a group I felt comfortable with. Not that I did much.
And then it was over. And that summerizes yesterday.
I wrote half yesterday half today.
Yup..

C.D.O.T.M 2

BARLOW GIRL(Self titled)

I have been wanting to get a Barlow girl Cd for some
time now but I didn't get around to it till now.
And when I finally got to Tabs I couldn't decide which one to get.
At one point I was considering buying all three at once but that idea passed.
I chose this one because it had Never Alone on it.
But expect the other ones to be coming soon.

My Experimentation with RED!!

1.Applying the red dye(looked more like orange..I was scared :P)

2.Waiting 30 minutes with my hair wrapped in saran wrap
so's not to get on anything

3.Ooolala finished project.

Just a little change to the drab brown that has been growing back.
Can't say that I like red on me.
But it's fun to try new things.
Get ready for 'Experimentation:Purple' coming to Hannah's blog when this comes out and she feels like buying the dye :P
*Note, it is not permanant. I am trying to grow back my brown so I am just going to do temporaries in the meantime

It makes me happy when...

I go check my list of blogs and over two people have updated(well 1 or 2 is good too but having so many just..yeah :P).
People buy me on friends for sale.
I have random conversations with people I hardly know.
I do something to make life for other people better.
It rains
I watch one of those perfect chick flick movies and I just never want it to end
Friends surprise me(unless its a birthday party..never do that)
Lyrics come to my mind that would make a beautiful song
A long lost friend come though drive thru and I am so happy I run to tell Erin.
I look in the mirror after working 6 hours and I still look semi okay
I get a pirates of the carrebean valentine
My friends email me
I go shopping and everything I buy is on sale
there is no snow
I fall asleep during a movie and when I wake up again there is a cute guy lying on the floor beside me :) teehee
Some girls sneak off on a wednesday and have a private bible study.
randomly people take time out to pray with eachother
my 'sister' comes over to my house and we try on clothes together
I am almost ready to give up on somebody but then something happens and we are good again.
I spend a whole day with a friend and never run out of things to say
I eat chocolate kisses
I eat...hahha
I complete something
my hair looks like it's suppose too






2 b continued..someday

I cry out.

I waited for you today
But You didn't show
No.No.No.
I needed You today
So where did you go?

You told me to call
you said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

Chorus
I cried out with no reply
and I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone.

And though I can not see You
and I can't explain why.
Such a deep, reassurance
You've placed in my life

ohWe cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

Chorus
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone

We cannot separate You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

Chorus
I cried out with no reply
and I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone

*Contented sigh* New Clothes

So some of us girls went out for coffee on Sunday and since it was so awkward(nobody really wanted to talk..I have no idea why) we went to value village. That was probably the best idea ever since tada!! I got some new stuff..not only is it just new stuff the top one will be my 2008 grad dress because really I can't be seen in last years. :P.
And yes believe it or not the bottom one is actually a dress. Not that I am going to wear it as one. It is fine how it is right now.

How to know you are a loser?
Your idea of happy is dreaming about sales. To be more exact comic book sales.
Yes that's right. A few nights ago I dreamt..well the whole thing was pretty cool. There was this new store by the blockbuster up in Sahali.
It was sort of like a wal-mart but in my memory I think of yellow.
I know confusing. I don't understand it myself.

Anyway. I am going through a stack of books and what do I find? Baby Blues for only 2.99!!
This was like better then the time I found for better or for worse for 5(that was real by the way. not a dream.)
Yeah.
And then I walked over to blockbuster and rented a movie that said it was PG on the front but 14A on the back.

Yeah that's pretty much when I woke up.
----------------------------------------------------------
Today I have been going pretty muvh since I woke up and for some reason I have tons of energy.
----------------------------------------------------------

1. I made cookies, cleaned my room, cleaned the living room and some of the kitchen, dusted, had a nap, did all my school, organized the cupboards, watched some star trek :).
   
   Every time I go on to the computer I spend about 5 minutes checking email and things like that and then I get off.
   It has freed up a lot of time but I don't know what to do with it.
   
   Hmm.
   
   

*Emotionally gone*

I think I have been to busy lately.
And it's drained me.
Yesterday was pretty terrible.
The last bit of it was.

I was just so tired.
And then after youth Ryan dropped us off at Behn's and we stayed there until 12:30.
So I went and laid down on Behn's bed.
*Note to self:Tell Behn to buy new bedding. He has had that stuff for like 6 years and it's all gross.*
Of course I couldn't fall asleep because right above me they were playing a movie really loud.
I don't see why the neighbours haven't complained yet. Unless the walls are super thick.
But finally I sorta fell into a half sleep. And then I heard that everyone was leaving so I went upstairs.

But I figured out the reason so I think I am going to be better now.
