Well, I'm 23 years old and the daughter of a preacher man. I'm a shipper-receiver for Tommy Hilfiger in Dartmouth, Ns. I'm an easy going girl and very easy to get along with. I love to drive, and yeah, I can drive a stick. And um... my favorite colour is yellow. :)

Short but sweet.

I'm not feeling so hot, so this'll be short.
Sorry for not posting recently. I know some people like to read my blog updates. To those people, I'm sorry. To those who don't care, lol, oh well! :)
I've gotten sick again, which isn't fun. My lung infection and asthma are back with vengeance. My cough is horrible, I've got lots of phlegm, and my nose is all runny. :( So... lots of chicken noodle soup for me. Which, by the way, is VERY difficult to open up when you don't have a can opener. Takes me about 15 mins to stab it open and get it in the pot... By then, I'm just too tired to cook. lol.

Not much has really happened recently. Worked a lot last week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) and then celebrated my time off by heading out to Dooly's in Windsor with Sandy, our cousin Amy (who I hadn't met until that day) and met up with Jeff, Becky, and Chris from the theatre. Once I figure out how to post pictures here, I'll post some of them here. It was a really fun night until about 11 or so when I got this over-whelming sense of wanting to go home. After about an hour and half of trying to persuade Sandy to leave, we finally did. On the way home, I had a chocolate bar and broke a piece off my tooth. Once we got to Port Williams, I told Sandy to slow down because Scrat was outside. Well... no longer did I say that, and we rounded a corner, and I saw a black figure lying in the middle of the road. Sandy pulled over, and I went to look. It was Scrat. He had been hit by a car and left in the middle of the road. I cried... and cried... and cried. I couldn't leave him in the middle of the road, so I drug him off the road by his tail and then we went to my apartment. I cried, called my parents, cried some more. At this point Sandy suggested we ask the guy upstairs, Tommy, (who Sandy is kinda friends with) if he can come and help. I just couldn't leave Scrat on the side of the road, dead, for the crows and other animal. So, we got Tommy, who got a box and we went to get Scrat off the road. Got him, then went behind the house and buried him. I cried... a lot. Then went in the house and cuddled Kitty and fell asleep on the couch.
Sunday, I went to a baby shower for a girl at work, Katie. She's due in just about a month. Having a boy, Caeden. The shower was fun, that's for sure.
Sunday night I went to the city to hang out with Liz. That was fun. We chatted for a bit and had fun.
Monday, I had a 'date'. Not even a date, just hung out with a guy, Joe. Took him to the valley, showed him around, cooked him Mr. Noodles at my apartment, talked for a bit, watched him fall asleep on my couch, then made fun of him when he woke up because he was half-snoring, half-purring. After that, we talked a little more, then headed back to the city. He paid for my gas, which was nice:)
Monday night I hung out with Liz for a bit, had supper out (Yay chinese!), chatted on MSN with some people, and ended the night with me feeling like crap and not being able to keep warm. Fell asleep on the couch, under blankets, the heat turned up, and a winter hat on.
Woke up this morning, went online, didn't do much, left the city and headed into work for 11:15. Worked til 3:45. Talked with my supervisor about my lungs (he could hear my throat and my coughing and hacking from across the room), and he told me to take the second half of my split off to get some rest and try to get better.

So... that's where I am. Just sitting at the library, checking emails and such before I go home and have some more chicken noodles soup-from-a-can-that-I-have-to-mangle-to-open.

Anyone who wants to visit me at my new apartment, you're totally welcome! It gets lonely. I don't have the internet there, BUT, I did find out today that the cable hasn't been disconnected. So! Free cable for right now. :D YAY! Internet to be connected on Friday.
Ciao!

Tanya, my darling daughter. I am still waiting for this guy's SIN and DOB to do that back ground check on him.

Uncle Brian...This one is for you... Do not worry...He's a friend of mine... I have known him since last fall...If I did not trust him I would not have introduced them... They are NOT dating... They are friends... Coffee and sight seeing do not equal dating...not even for me who has been single for too long...Love yas.

Oh dear... *blush*
Yeah, to clear things up, Joe and I are -NOT- dating. Not dating. Not dating.
You'll really like him dad though. Even though we're just friends. He's a PCW (personal care worker) at a seniors home in Halifax and is going back to school in the fall to get his RN degree.
Anyways, I'll get that SIN number for you. lol! Love you dad! Can't wait to see you and mom tomorrow!
And April, thanks for your condolences about Scrat and taking me out on the patio the other day. I should have had that sweater on though!
Liz: I ALWAYS enjoy our time together. You've done a lot for me in the past month, and I REALLLLLLLY appreciate it.
Love you ALL!
