C'mon Everybody, Here We Dingdingdingdingggg!!!

I had a dream the other night that I was in a pet store and they had giant hampsters for sale!! They were the coolest things I had ever seen!  When they purred, it began sounding like a regular cat purr, it then turned into the Hampster Dance, and ended sounding like Crazy Frog.  It was the coolest hampster I has ever seen.  For Serious.

Would you like me to MEOW?

I'm "working right now at a Gymnastics tournament.  I had nothing better to do, until a brilliant thought tickled my brain, -why not make a post?  So by golly, friends, that's what I decided to do.

My sister recently went to London and I am in the process of cat-sitting.  This is NOT as fun as it sounds.  Don't get me wrong, I love cats just about as much as the average cat lover, but this cat has some serious issues.  I was gone for one, that's right, one day, and when I got back this cat would seriously not leave me alone.  I would be watching tv, and she'd be sitting on my lap.  When I went to the bathroom, she was there.  When I would be walking through the house, she would weave in between my legs and then got mad at me if I would step on her tail.  When I would go to sleep, she wouldn't just be sleeping beside me, she would be ontop of me, on my head, in my armpit, between my legs, and when I woke up this morning, right in front of my face staring at me.  Mittens, I love you and even though you are cute and in some ways resemble a sloth, could you please just leave me alone!?


....And one last story to delight your retinas, this morning when I was realy working in the store, this man came in in full on pajamas, including robe and slippers.  He told me he was sick.  He didnt look so sick to me.

If I told you it was my birthday soon, would you hold it against me...?

My Birthday is on tuesday!!  I didn't realize it was soo close!  I hope it's not too late to give my Birthday wish list!  There isn't much that I want, but I think they are reasonable, I am turning 22 after all.

So, number one on my list: A new Toyota Logo for my car.  If you don't already know, I got in a car accident one sunday morning on my way to work and therefore, it is missing. :(

An iron and ironing board.  (pictured below)  This is the exact one that I want.  And as for the board, I really dont care just as long as it  is adorned by a cute fabric cover.

Believe it or not, but I have been wanting this iron since I was 14, just haven't bought it yet.

Esspresso Machine.  I am trying to not buy starbucks as much anymore so if someone could be oh so kind as to purchase me one of these do-hickies, I would be eternally grateful.  I would even make you the first drink! :)

Breville Die-Cast Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine! :)

TOMS.  Toms, Toms, Toms, Toms.  I need new work shoes, and I would like them to be a pair of Toms, and when you buy one for me, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.  You can't go wrong with that now peoples!  These are the ones that I like.

 

 

As always, I enjoy gift cards of various currancies from my favorite stores such as: Chapters, Sephora, Fabricland, Homesense, IKEA, Lush...or VISA gift cards will work as well.

A Million Dollars, or even better, a winning lottery ticket.  I bought myself my very first lottery ticket last week, and didn't win anything! not even a dollar! So I am now refusing to buy one again, but if someone else buys one for me, preferably the winning one, well....that would be allowed.

As you can see, I am not asking for much, and I hope that I get everything I want.  So, CHOP! CHOP! get them while there hot! My birthday's on Tuesday! Happy Shopping!

When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious

Today I had to go into Vancouver for an appoitment.  As I was pulling into the parking garage, I could hear the two men working there talking.  After realizing that the most adorable, old man was talking to me, I started to listen.  He was saying how girls always look there best and that I looked very pretty today, and then he said, "you have a lucky man".  Uhhh...First things first, there is no man, but I will accept your compliment, and perhaps lunch..on you. ;)

If You're Not Over Here in Fifteen Minutes, You Can Find a New Best Friend.

Dear Man Walking through Price Smart wearing your pajamas (including a black fuzzy house coat),

Is it really that hard to put on some jeans, or at the very least, a jacket before you walk out the door?  You not only look ridiculous, but you are also making everybody around embarassed for you.
That is all.  Thank-you and Happy Holidays.
Sincerly yours,

Jubes.

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

It's been one year.  On this very day, one year ago, I was awakened by a phone call from my boss at work telling me that the hospital called there and wanted me to get to the hospital as soon as I could.  I thought nothing of it.  I knew I had to be there that morning to renew the T.V in his room and I just thought that he called my work thinking I was there.  As my brother and I drove to the hospital, I was angry because I thought that my dad wanted us to get him McDonalds for breakfast (which he shouldn't have been eating in the first place), and that maybe he thought that I had forgotten about him, which I didn't I just wasn't in a hurry to get there.  When we got to the hospital we began walking towards his hospital room, but when we got there, there was a note on the door telling us to speak with a nurse before we went in, so we did.  After finally getting the attention of the nurse, she then informed my brother and I that our father had passed away earlier that morning.  I thought that she was lying.  My brother wanted to go in the room to see him, I decided not to and waited outside and sat on a chair and the nurse brought me a box of tissues and a glass of water, but for some reason I didn't cry.  I just sat there.  I was thinking about the day before.  All of us kids were there and had spent the day with him in the hospital.  His brother ended up suprising him and we left so they could talk.  When we all left the hospital, I wasn't going to give my dad a hug, and he had to ask for one, and I am really happy he did; I thought that he was fine.  I don't really remember much of what else happened that day, I think I drove my sister to the ferry to go back home.  I remember being at home and getting a call from my brother asking me to pick him up from the hospital.  When I got there, I had this really weird urge to run up and give him a hug and kiss good night, but I didn't and just told myself that I would see him tomorrow, even though I knew it would have ment the world to him if I did.  I would give anything to go back in time and do that, now I have to live with the fact that the last time I ever talked to my dad was over the phone getting in a fight and him hanging the phone up on me.  I know it's not my fault, but in some degree I feel like it is.  However, I still find that as the days go on, it doesn't get easier.   I still have my moments of bursting into tears, sadness, and depression, and when I do I just snuggle up with my puff-a-lump, like I did when I missed him when I was younger, and just think of all the good times we had together until I feel better.  There are also times that I think of him, and want to cry, but I just can't...in some way, I still don't believe that he is gone.  For some moments in life, there are no words; only tears, which are God's gift to us.  Our holy water; they heal us as they flow.  Dad, if you can hear me, I just want you to know that I am thinking of you.  If you were sad or down, I would send you loving thoughts of sunnier days so that instead of chaos, you may have serenity and peace.  And in the words of Asher Roth, "...Happiness is not about getting what you want all the time, it's about loving what you have, so get ready it's a new day."
I love you dad, and I will always be your little girl. ♥
