Well we're all at home stuck in yet another blizzard. I am not doing too much at all today, especially trying not to move the right side of my face. I went out to trivia on Friday at Myron's, we almost won, and the drinks are so cheap. I am now nursing a totally swollen and black eye with a big gash on the side of my eye. I guess I induldged in too many of those cheap drinks.
Oh well, I'm almost 28 years old and you think I would have learned to not be retarted by now. I really can't get into what happened, some of it is a bit foggy, I did get my jacket and cell phone back, but unfortunately I haven't gotten my shoes back yet. Good thing it was only -30 or so that night with the windchill. This was one of the craziest nights I've had in a long time. I am thinking of writing a book with all my unbelievable stories. I would, however, have to write it under a fake name, so my mom doesn't find out all the trouble I get into! I am retarted.

There's a good sale at the liquor store!
Well it's just after 6 pm and I'm trying to decide what to do tonight. We just finished having Greco and it was pretty darn good. I haven't been doing too much since I've been in PEI, but it's been nice. I've been to trivia a couple times, watched some of the Australian Open which is pretty good too, gotten back into the Soap I used to watch, All My Children, and had a couple snowstorms to sit through. Played a little tennis with my mom and her group this morning, which was great because I really miss playing, there is no court in Turner Valley. Tonight we might go back to Myron's for trivia, we won last week. I haven't been getting into any trouble at all since I've been home so the next couple nights I should really have some fun. I only have a week left here, but I can't start thinking about that yet.

Hollywood
Well I guess everyone knows now that Brad and Jen are separating. I have to admit, I never thought those two would break up, and I am really sad that it is happening. I know I shouldn't really pay attention to people's lives that I know absolutely nothing about except the stuff I read in Us magazine or People. I know they lead lives that I can't even imagine, with all the money and fame, but still, it is sad when people break up. Maybe they will get back together. We can only hope, oh I went too far didn't I.
Back home
Well I am back on PEI, finally. Those of you who have never moved off PEI or never even lived here, may not know just how great it is to come home, if it is only for three weeks. I love being here. I get to live with my parents, and sister, hang out with my friends, relax, not go to work, and play with Big Dog. It is a great lif for the next three weeks, I may even get an allowance to go out with!
I met the newest member of the family, my sister's dog Desoto. I love dogs, we've always had a dog, so I've never really been scared of dogs ever. But then I met Big Dog. He is like a small cow, one of the brown cows with the white spots. So I had never met a dog the size of a calf before and he did frighten me a little. But it only took a few minutes for me to see that he is so gentle and will not try to eat me for dinner, although he may be able to swallow me whole.
I left Andy, in Alberta, he didn't have time to go on vacation. He is, however, at our house in Turner Valley redoing the bathroom. I guess is is mostly just ripped apart now and I am hoping that he is finished when I get back. It is so cold there he might not be working much this week. I think the wind chill is about -39.
I really don't miss Alberta one little bit, and I already have two more trips planned to come home again this summer. Two of my best friends are getting married, so I have to come home for those. It's so nice to have my friends again.
Well I better go shovel to earn my allowance for this week!

Christmas Shopping Sucks
Well It is Monday night, December 20th, and I just got home from starting my Christmas shopping. Well I hate Christmas shopping. I know I left it a little late to start, but I am a procrastinator and I feel I do things better under pressure. I am starting to feel the heat now as I am running out of time and I have to work the next four days. It's not really the shopping that I hate, it's more of coming up with ideas of what to get people for this great big gift giving celebration.
Now what would I really like for Christmas......
1. I would like my puppy traned not to chew my stuff and be fully housetrained. I am pretty tired of puppy-pee on my floors.
2. I would like the crafty gene implanted in myself. I wish I had a little Martha Stewart in me, not the insider trading Martha, the grow your own Christmas tree, cut it down with a homemade saw, make the tree stand out of paper mache, then decorate the tree using homemade decorations, and lights Martha.
3. I would like top be able to sing without scaring people. I was at church on Sunday (because my parents are in town) and I know the words to some of the songs, but I am scared people will point and laugh when my off key words come out, so I just lip sync, and everyone is happy. I still get the odd pointing and laughing asshole, but oh well.
4. I would like all the people who doddle in the malls when there are only four shopping days until Christmas to either hurry up and walk a tad bit faster than the old lady in the walker or stay the hell home.
Well I am feeling like the Grinch so I better go and do something festive. Bah, I'm going to cancel Christmas next year!

New Parents
Well, we finally got our little Kash home. She is just the most adorable thing you've ever seen. We got her a week before we were supposed to pick her up because I couldn't wait any longer, and she was old enough to go. The first night however was tough, for all of us.
At about 10:30 it was bedtime, so we decided to put her in one of those big bins with a blanket in it and some food, we put it right beside the bed (Andy called it the bassinette!).
So she TOTALLY freaked out for what seemed like forever but maybe it was 5-10 minutes, then I think she finally cried herself to sleep for a little while.
About midnight, she started crying ( not little wispers either) and trying to get out of the bin.So I picked her up and walked around the dark living room talking softly to her (just like I did if my nephews cried). So then, I thought I'd put her in the kitchen and barricade her in there so she couldn't get out. That worked until about 2:00 or 3:00 am, when it started again. I was awake, but very tired and maybe a touch on the cranky side. Andy can usually sleep through anything, but not me. But Andy was awake, and he finally got up for her this time.
He ended up taking the sleeping bag and spending the rest of the night on the floor with her in the living room. He is so sweet, he knew that I wouldn't be able to get to sleep if she didn't stop whining.
So we all had a little stressful first night together. Last night was better, she roamed through the house quite a bit checking things out. That's ok as long as she isn't crying. I did feel horrible, I even started to cry, she just missed her mom! Yeah, I'm a dork.

New Favorite
Well I have a new favorite movie. Fifty First Dates, with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. I know some people think that all Adam Sandler movies are just plain crappy (Angela, for instance probably has never seen one, but she's also the only person in the world who has never seen an episode of the Simpsons!), but this one is different.
I was watching it by myself as Andy worked late and he probably wouldn't have watched it with me anyway. But I sat here and laughed out loud, then there were parts where I admit made the waterworks start.
I do admit I love Adam Sandler movies (except Little Nicky), the Wedding Singer is another favorite of mine as well. Other stupid movies I like involve Chris Farley, some with David Spade. I likedthem both on Saturday night live too, but the big guy just cracks me up. I think I started watching them because an ex-boyfriend always rented them, and I have liked them ever since. I think if you need a good laugh, get one of these ones.

One small leap for me
Well I did it. I have seen a meatloaf. Actually I cooked one. I looked on the net for a recipe, um yeah there are like a million recipes for meatloaf. I really didn't know how to decide which one to make, so I did eenie meenie. It was kinda of yucky making it, even though I eat meat, I thought about becoming a vegetarian. But I made it through.
The recipe gave me the measurements of the pan, but being blonde I wasn't sure if I had the right size, so I called Andy, gave him the measurements and yes we have one that big, dumbass. Very dumb Jennifer, I know. Fail math a lot?
Anyway, I had eaten at about five o'clock, as I knew Andy was working late, and just in case it didn't work I wouldn't be hungry. So I totally surprised him with meatloaf and mashed potatoes. He absolutely loved it! I was so excited it turned out, that I even tried it. Yup, sure did like it!
I had leftovers the next day. It's funny trying new things, I should do it more often. Hey,who are we kidding, this is me.

Friday night at the Bowling Alley
Well when you live in Turner Valley, there isn't a whole lot to do. You can watch t.v (except I can't because as I have mentioned before, I don't have any freakin channels), or you can head to the Bowling Alley, which we do quite often. I think that now we are offical local yokals!
So Andy is on his way home from work and called me to say that his "need diesle now" light has come on. We have discovered, that when that light comes on, you better get it now. Unfortunately we didn't realize that the light means immediately, and the truck ran out on the way to the station, and was broken and had to get fixed.
But as we live in the country, there aren't many gas stations. So I hope he gets here.
The bowling alley is your typical small town bar, where everyone knows your name and your business, lots of cowboys and lots of drunk people six days a week. Andy is going for a steak sandwhich, but I am trying to eat healthy, as I am on day twelve of Power 90.
I was going to cook chicken, I had to get the kind with the skin on it because it's cheaper, but I just realized that it's chicken legs. No wonder it was so cheap, so now I don't think it sounds very appetizing, so potatoes it is again I guess. No wonder Andy gave me the nickname Potato Eating Idiot, P.E.I.
We were at the Bowling Alley on Saturday night and the topic of my eating habits came up. People were really amazed at my how do I say, inability of trying foods, not weird, strange foods like eyeball soup, snake, or monkey brains (like in Indiana Jones), just regular food, everyone else on the planet has at least tried. For instance, I tried Peach yogurt for the first time on Sunday, Blueberry last month. I had just assumed I wouldn't like it. It's things like this that drives my family (Angela) and Andy absolutely crazy. Then the subject of Meatloaf came up. I have never seen a meatloaf, let alone tasted one. Is that so weird. I don't think my mom ever made us eat one. Andy asked me to cook one, and I was like, how can I cook something I've never seen!Gotta go I'm off to the Bowling Alley, screw Chicken legs!!

What's Up With Cowboys
As you may know I live in Southern Alberta, the foothills. It's basically rural and there are lots of ranches and farms around here. We were out for a drive on sunday and we see a cowboy with his dog running beside him trying to keep up. The funny thing about what we were seeing is that the cowboy wasn't riding a horse, he was riding a bike. But he had on the Cowboy boots, hat, wranglers, and big belt buckle! Was he looking for his horse? Does his horse not work on Sundays or did he want to see if his boots would slip off the peddles. That got me to thinking are they always dressed in full cowboy attire even at home? Do they ever wear sneakers, or other kinds of footwear? I think on the ice they wouldn't be very safe for walking, as they don't have good grips. Well I think I'll pay attention now when I go to the Bowling Alley (neighbourhood bar, that's not really a bowling alley), and see what all the cowbys are wearing.

Life Without T.V
Well this is my first posting, I have been reading others and getting a real kick out of other peoples lives, especially my sister's. I am prone to talking a lot, so when I don't have anyone to babble at this may be helpful. My boyfriend Andy can tell if I haven't talked to anyone all day because he will come home after work and get bombarded with questions and pointless jabbering by me, poor guy!
Actually right now I am just really bored and my potatoes aren't done yet, so I thought I'd kill some time. You see, I am the only unfortunate soul I know who doesn't have t.v. I have a really nice big new television but not one darn channel. I really didn't think it would be that bad, we've been without one since August. I was doing a lot of reading and more productive things than sitting on the couch, and didn't miss it much, then came the new season of shows. Well now my friends are taping shows for me and I watch the tapes, sometimes over and over until I get a new one. It sounds pretty bad I know, it's like my life revolves around the lives of people on t.v. I haven't seen the Gilmore Girls or E.R all season, because I don't pick which shows I'm getting (beggars can't be choosers I guess), and yeah, and it's so sad that I don't know what's going on with Luke and Lorelei. Oh yeah, the reason I don't have any channels is ....well I don't know, it just sucks to be me. We should have about five channels but I just have blue screen. I have even watched blue screen for a whole night believe it or not! I miss you t.v!
