tough week great ending

its been a crazy week, i end up dehydrated and weak, and tired, so i have to take time off to recover, my lil car gets munched again and it takes us 3 1/2 hours to get home from calgary in a blizzard. BUT i got to hang out and play video games with china tim, and the GSO,(ghostbusters on ps3 sucks hardcore btw) and redeemed my ticket for my birthday present from Bosman.

Yup the hardcore duo do the ladies, Barenaked Ladies! we did the VIP thing and meet and greet, got our swag signed, had a few conversations with the boys and thoroughly enjoyed the concert and opening acts. the show was great, i do have to add that there was a more serious tone to it then most shows and you could see the appreciation they have for their continued fan base and each other as the show went on. we asked them during the meet and great back stage if they have any songs that they are going to retire now that they are sans steve, and if they would sing brian wilson (mine and bosmans song) and they said nothing is ever retired, but they are going to have to continue to "re vamp" some songs such as brian wilson as every time they sing it, they feel like they're doing a cover song of a barenaked ladies track rather than singing their own music. they did a special request song of the album snack time that they weren't planning on because of a little girl who sat two seats down from me. she made them a little sign with eraser as the request. so they pulled it together and sang it even though it's honestly a tough song to do live. I loved how much more Kevin sings. He's got to be my favorite in the band. They're all super talented but he kinda takes the cake. I can't wait to post photos just waiting for bosman to send em to me. so stay tuned.


i have to add it took us about 4 1/2 hours to get home last night from calgary. the roads were terrible. i don't know what it is about my birthday excursions but the rides home are always brutal, even if for different reasons. but i can't complain cuz the last two bday prezzy's were freaking unreal. thanks again bosman *big smooshy hugs*

so i got the line at work that i wanted, i also hit my hours for a raise and now i get benefits and that thing called a pension if i make my hours. yay!

i'm hoping now i can have some more free time to hang out with people, and blog. i still think on night shift i should bring in my laptop and type everything out in word then go publish it in the morning when i get home.

also in news i ding'd my world of warcraft toon up to lvl 68 yup i'm pretending i'm going to be a big girl now. it's only taken me forever and a day plus 2. and a lot of help from bosman lancey pants and the gso and kimi and a few others. but i'll make it to 80 eventually! who'da thunk i'd be playing WoW lol.

i don't know why but i'm so bipolar when it comes to christmas. i love the tree, i love the lights(but not the stupid led ones that give me twitchy eyes), but i hate the idea of it, i hate HAVING to buy people gifts by a certain time, and i hate waiting to see what i got and i hate christmas shopping. I don't mind some of the music. But i just hate being forced into it all and i prolly have a bit of bitterness with the whole idea that i don't get to see my mini munchkin open presents. i know that's selfish but it comes up a lot. i see her lots through the year, and honestly if i had the opportunity to see her on christmas morning i might pass it up as it would be too raw and painful. christmas, her birthday, her family day and mothers day are all days that while most of the time i'm ok, other years it hurts. don't get me wrong though, i'm so happy with my life now and with how things turned out and what direction they are going in. i'm so grateful for everything, but that doesn't mean i don't have moments where i slip into the what would it be like pauses. they only last a moment but a moment is enough. maybe i'm a grinch for not LOVING christmas but i promise i'll smile through it and do so sincerely at the parts i enjoy and i won't steal it from you. ;)

and while i may not be counting down till xmas (btw don't worry i will send my xmas cards around valentines day as per usual, sent them on time a few years back and freaked everyone out, so no worries folks) but i am counting down to screeching weasel!!! Dal and i are going and i couldn't be more excited *swoon*

The C word is coming out in full force on this post...

So I'm actually committing to a few things..... I KNOW! Me using the C word. To be fair I commit my self to a lot of things, my daughter, my job, and always to who ever I'm dating. I hate huge commitments like living arrangements, marriage, permanent positions at work.
But I have decided to commit myself to furthering my education and start my process to become an RPN Registered Psychiatric Nurse. I have about 5-6 years to complete this little project then I can double my salary and give needles :) woohoo....I figure I love my job so much that it's going to be worth it.Other commitments? I'm committing myself to going to Africa. So much so that I'm going to take a course at the college for doing eye exams so that I can preform some over yonder as well as assist in eye surgeries. hoooray i finally figured out what I want to be when i grow up......like I'm ever going to grow up but still it's a start.

And as always I'm committed to my sweetie pie. He's pretty rad and I'm pretty happy and it's pretty awesome. YAY. We've got some days off together which is unusual for me with anyone. But I'm excited to spend some qt with him. I need a break from work anyways.
Spent the day with my mini one, she's getting so smart and big and beautiful. I just love her to bits. I'll post a few pics when I get home as I'm working a night shift tonight. She was going on about how green light sabers are for the good guys in starwars and how she would never use a green one, only red cuz she would be a bad guy because they have better moves and are more interesting.....hmmmmm not sure what to say about that one ;) other then she's kinda rad I think.
DDO is coming out soon. My friend in NZ is bugging me to sign up and play...I think I just might have to since it's looking as awesome as WOW except it has one upped the WoW idea by making it FREE!!!! So that's gonna take up some time for me. Not too much but a little. I wonder how it's going to effect the whole online community....I'm excited to check it out. My friend's playing the beta and seems to really enjoy it. I'll have to ask SottyB4hotty about it because he is after all the DD expert.
