Reunions, Salamanders, and Cosmetics. Who could ask for a better weekend?

Well it certainly has been an interesting weekend so far... I only have one more day and then it's back to work, but I finally feel like I've used my time well! Monday morning at 7am I left work to begin my crazy weekend. I went to sleep for a little while and then got up, got ready, and went to Erin's with my new friend Franny from work. We all went to Mesa Luna, a really cool salsa bar in Kitsilano, just a few blocks (well... quite a few) from Erin's house. It was an old friend from high school's birthday... He works there so they opened up the bar just for him. There were sooo many people from high school there! It was crazy seeing them all! A lot of them I hadn't seen since grad, 3 years ago!! It was a lot of fun. We all went back to Erin's after and slept over... Such a crazy night, I haven't laughed so hard in a really long time... It was a little bad, our minds went in the gutter a little too much but it sure was hilarious... (the candle, if Erin and Franny read this. Too funny.) Jesse, Erin's boyfriend made us perogies when we got there (Yeah, that's right, the MAN was in the kitchen cookin' for the women.) He made 42 perogies in one pot so they didn't quite all fit... the end result were some very mushed and mangled perogies. But we were so hungry it didn't even matter. The best part (another thing that made us laugh forever) was that I took one bite, and my stomach made a high pitched noise, and I said it was celebrating!! It almost sounded like "yayyy!" haha it was awesome!
Tuesday I went home, and then went shopping with my mom for my friend Sara's bridal shower that we were going to that night (nothing like the last minute, again!) The shower was awesome, I had never been to one before, but I'm sure it will be the first one of many others... I have 3 to go to in the next month or so... Sara had an amazing turnout, tons of people came, she was absolutely overwhelmed. After the shower I was all set and ready to watch a movie and wait for Jason to come over after his night shift... I even asked my mom for permission to order a pay per view... I couldn't decide between Uptown Girls (which I'd seen but really liked) and Anything Else (the movie, not any other movie...)I hadn't seen the second one so I called Heather and she ended up inviting me out instead so that was fun! It was me, Heather, Amelia, and Cory! Shane and Jason joined us later. T'was fun! Happy BIRTHDAY Shane!! (he's an oldie *snicker snicker*) :P
Today Jason and I went to Golden Ears Park for a nature walk. It was great! We saw salamanders in a pond. There were soooo many!! Aww they're cute. Then I went with Megan to her friend's house for a Mary Kay party! I'd never been to one but it was so much fun! We put on face creams and foundations and hand stuff, and lip stuff, and totally 'girled' it up a bit. It was like a slumber party for women without the slumber part. We're having another one soon to learn about other makeup. It's great to Girl it up every now and then. :) I spent way too much money on stuff, but it's so nice.
Oh! I forgot something else that happened this weekend! Yesterday, I got called by one of the places I dropped my resume at before I got a job at Moli Energy... It's a local pub, within 5 mins walking distance of where I will be moving to! I had the interview today which lasted a total of maaaybe 5 mins, and she offered me a job working as a part time waitress, worked out with my other schedule! I'm getting trained tomorrow! Hooray!!
So in the morning tomorrow I think I will work on some packing because I haven't really done much and I really should get on that... I'm such a slacker.
Anyways, this was a really long blog, sorry to bore you like that. :) I hope you have a great week!

Ouchy

Well I am sitting here, sunburnt on the front of myself, looking like a raccoon. I went to the beach today with Erin, Jesse, Franny, and her friend Jen. It was a grand ol' time except for the fact that I never turned around so the whole front of me is burnt to a crisp and the back of me is still as white as a ghost. :S blech. oh well... hopefully these stupid raccoon eyes will go away soon though hahaha! If you haven't noticed, I changed the template to my blog! I think it is pretty. I'm still working out a few bugs though, I can't seem to figure out how to get comments enabled...
Anyways, what's new with me? Well I've worked 3 rotations at work now... I actually like it! I like having a job... I really like having money, which could be a problem. I really have to start saving, and soon. I prefer the night shifts to the day shifts... mostly because there are no supervisors around and we can listen to music, and it's just way more laid back. It's fun...
I'm getting quite anxious about school now... and the move... And now I've found out some info which might make moving away to Victoria even harder!! Jason wasn't accepted back into the engineering program! :( He may not be able to go to school out in Victoria at all... There is a possibility that he could do a program at Camosun though, so that will be in my prayers for sure... It was scary enough moving away from home, even knowing he'd be there, but now that he might not, I'm totally freaked out!! I don't want to do another term like that... Ugh, I have to stop worrying so much...
Tomorrow I have to do a bunch of packing. I almost want to go outside tomorrow and lie face down all day to burn the back of me, so at least I'd be even... but then it would be double the pain I'm feeling right now, and I certainly don't want that! After Jason's work he was going to go biking... unfortunately I don't think I'll be going... putting the shin pads on very burnt legs doesn't sound like too much fun... Boo why was I so dumb, I should've turned over or something!! hahaha :)
Anyways, not too much to say, I'll try to keep this as up to date as possible....
