Life has been crazy busy lately and I haven’t had time to update. Currently I’m sitting at work being bored out of my tree. I had no kids come in yesterday and so far none today. Thankfully my bff (Doug) has entirely too much time on his hands and he created this to entertain me:

HAHA! With that out of the way here’s the rest of my thoughts in point format. Most of you already have heard about this if you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook.

- Work is done for the summer. I could have totally taken the whole summer off since the programs I run are based on the school year. I offered to help out this summer though so I don’t die of boredom or from being too poor. Year End BBQ was last Thursday. It started out wonderful…. until some kid decided to drop a rock through my back windshield!!! I have a hatchback FYI so it’s really a windshield more than a window. This was just 2 hours after I had picked it up from the mechanic who had spent all day replacing the engine’s timing belt, the alternator belt and few random things to the tune of $500+. Ouch. My insurance thankfully covered the glass and I only had to pay the $200 deductible. Even more thankfully the mother of the child has so far paid me back for $100 and promised to have the other half when she gets her social assistance check at the end of the month (remember I work with low income kids). The kid also informed me that his Xbox was taken away for the summer and he doesn’t get to go to the fair that’s happening RIGHT NOW.

- Got my hair cut. It turned out fabulous! I still haven’t gotten pictures of it. I’m sure there will be lots of the upcoming weeks. Why you ask? BECAUSE WE LEAVE TO GO VISIT MY FAMILY ON SUNDAY!!! My cousin is getting married in Edmonton on July 18. I found the greatest little dress on eBay.

- Picked a theme for Brian’s birthday party. We’re going to go with a Luau/Hawaiian theme. Mom said she’d try to find some tiki torches and we’re going to make Ham Burgers, Honey Dijon Potato Salad and a few other things that I’ll have to come up with! Of course there will be lots of pina coladas to go around as well MMMM!

Alright well since I’m at work I should probably go find something to do…. x-posted to my Livejournal.

THIS. MAKES. ME. SO. ANGRY.

WHAT THE F***?! Believe it or not some people’s worlds do not revolve around children and that doesn’t make me any less BUSY or SLAMMED thankyouverymuch. I am sick and tired of people who think that just because they have children that their problems and stress are more valid and more important than people without. YOU chose to have children and that means you have to deal with the consequences that come along with it but don’t you DARE belittle people who don’t make the same choices you do. I just chose to be stressed/slammed by things that don’t involve some little brat making me lose sleep, talking back, making me whine about needing a maid or bitch about how unappreciated I am or making me an insensitive bitch to my childless/childfree friends. I’m sick and tired of parents who think they’re better than people that aren’t parents, I’m sick and tired of parents who think they’ve accomplished some great and wonderful thing by having a kid. GUESS WHAT? You haven’t accomplished anything that a fucking dung beetle can’t do – breed offspring. So good for you! It’s an accomplishment if you can raise your children to be polite and valuable members of society but until then stfu.

Alright I have stuff back up and running here mostly. I still haven’t reloaded all the pictures that were lost but I’ll get to that. Also upgraded to the new Wordpress (Mel I don’t know why you have such a hard time with the auto upgrade – that has to suck) and I like all the rounded corners in the Dashboard. I reinstalled the Livejournal cross-poster so I’ll find out at the end of this entry if I installed it correctly lol. There’s also a plugin that’s supposed to cross post comments but I’m not sure if it actually works or not …..

So yes. Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals was on Friday night. My team didn’t win. I’m fine. I couldn’t watch Crybaby hoist the cup so I came online and complained on Twitter/Facebook with my fellow Red Wing fans until it was safe to come back out to the TV. I don’t know if I’d say they choked… I think they were just really tired and suffering from some pretty big injuries. It’s come out now that Lidstrom missed those couple games because he had to have surgery because his TESTICLE (oh that’s fun to put in caps!) was damaged! I can’t remember what it’s called but it was pretty serious. Apparently if they didn’t do surgery within 6 hours it could have have been rendered useless. That’s ok, Lidstrom has 2 sets of them anyway . I’ve also decided that Hossa should get traded to the Leafs…. they both talk about how great they’re going to be and they always end being made of suck. He’ll fit right in. And that’s the last bit of hockey talk now until the fall. Unless something huge happens. Like I marry Chris Osgood !

Looking forward to the summer. We have a lot of traveling planned and I’m going to be working the last half of the summer even though I don’t have to. I love my job so I don’t mind helping out, plus it gives me money to do more traveling right? We’re going to go see my parents/family at the beginning of July, then we have a wedding in Edmonton mid July. I hope I’ll get to catch up with Faydra too! Brian is going home in August for a couple weeks (not sure exactly when yet) and THEN *deep breath* we have Fraser’s wedding south of Winnipeg and the big AC/DC concert in Regina! I’m so lucky that I have 2 pets that enjoy car rides because otherwise we wouldn’t get to do half the stuff we normally do I swear. Lisa was going to come visit in August but since we’re no longer friends I will just have to settle for hanging out with the girls at work while Brian is gone. I’m hoping to be working around 3 days a week (that’d be 28 hours) so then I still have time to enjoy being home, taking Abby out etc. Brianna has also been begging me to come out and stay with me so I told her to ask her Mom if it would be alright. Turns out that it is. So she’s all excited and wants to come out here for Canada Day. I think it’ll be fun and I just hope I have the energy to keep up with a kid all day. There’s a reason I don’t have any of my own you know!

I… have nothing else to say. I hope there’s lots of goodies in the mail today. Abby’s Red Wings jersey should be here along with my precious Osgood shirt. I’m also expecting a package from Pittsburgh! I’m entirely too lazy to go check the mail myself though so I’ll wait until after school when we go into town for groceries and I’ll make Brian do it HAHA!

ANYWAY! Time to share more Osgoodness (thanks for the new word hybrid Valentina!). This started with some spring cleaning. Which I discovered Brian had a few of the CHL hockey magazine that’s no longer in print. INCLUDING the 1991 draft edition…. do you see where I’m going with this? I found Chris right away and seriously almost died of the cuteness. So I scanned it. Along with 2 pictures that are from back in 1993 (the only time I’ve ever gotten to see them play live). One is of Chris on the bench (this was obviously before the backup started keeping track of face-offs etc), the other was pregame coming to the arena with Draper. I know I have more pictures around here somewhere but I have no idea where… hence the spring cleaning….

I also finally found a jersey that will fit Abby. So excited lol! She has a Flames jersey since Canadian teams are super easy to find around these parts but I’ve never found a Red Wings one until someone told me they just put one up on the NHL Store site! AHAHAHA!

Here’s hoping tonight ends the 2008-09 hockey season!! I can’t keep affording to throw these playoff parties – grown men eat A LOT lol! If it goes to game 7 it’s highly likely I will have a stroke…. and a stroke on top of a raging ear infection is unacceptable :P.

Pictures!

Shirtless Osgood…. you only get a peek which is really REALLY hot…or maybe I need to get out more…. either way…..

So yesterday it was confirmed that 3 cases of H1N1 (swine flu) were found at the elementary school here. It also turns out that one of the communities (St Theresa’s Point) the high school gets kids from has had 12 cases, with one pregnant woman LOSING HER BABY. Brian is on his way out of town with about 50 kids for a Student Leadership trip. I pray to God that none of those kids is from St Theresa’s. I also hope he took hand sanitizer. As someone with a compromised immune system I am freaking out. I’m going to spend the rest of the day bleaching down the house. I also have a litre of hand sanitizer and a months supply of soap. Thankfully I took a few days off work to stay home with the pets while Brian was gone so I can literally lock myself in the house away from people.

I’m just frustrated living up north right now. It always gets like this around this time of the year because I’m so looking forward to going home to visit for a month and getting out of here for awhile. I just removed a friend from Facebook because she’s constantly belittling me any time I post about being sad/upset about something. Which doesn’t happen that often. Unless doctors up and quit. Or the mine is extra polluting that day and gives me an asthma attack (yay for the worlds largest sulfur polluter!). Or I’m making fun of Twilight… okay I do that one pretty often but STILL. Real friends just encourage and listen. She was never really a friend to start with – she was my Mary Kay director – which I quit doing months ago because women up here are happy wearing plaid and rubber boots not mascara and moisturizer with SPF 15 in it.

OK on to happy things! Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight! Datsyuk AND Draper are supposed to be back in the lineup so the Pens need to either 1. forfeit the series now and save face or 2. be ready to be annihilated and to cry when they lose again.
I’m trying to go through the last game (I have pvr-ed all the games and then burned them to DVD for posterity) because the CBC pregame show gave me an orgasm I swear. No it’s NOT TMI! Why? Because they were talking to Chris Osgood….. in a towel….. that’s all. Just a towel. NEED SCREENCAPS. I will search for that after I finish this post. They’d definitely deserve their own post ;).

I went into work yesterday and it looks like I’m going to be getting some extra hours for the rest of the month. The after school program staff (Miranda) also works some night shifts (7-10) which is for the 15+ group. She doesn’t want to do Wednesday nights anymore because it interferes with Bingo night at the Legion (oh lets perpetuate that Native American stereotype some more shall we). First I was like “Um not worth driving 50km’s for 3 hours” and my boss responded with “Well what if you came at 5 and got a couple extra prep hours for the week?”….. FINE WITH ME. I can always use more planning time and then to finally get a chance to work with the teens is exciting. Later on my boss pulled me aside and asked if I’d be interested in taking over as PCC Coordinator (that’s the little kids programs ages 6-9) in the fall if she’s not able to come back. I guess her husband just got diagnosed with lung cancer and she obviously wants to spend as much time with him as possible. I told her I’d have to think about it because that’s A LOT of responsibility and meetings and courses etc. It is wonderful to know though that I’ve done a good enough job this year for her to even CONSIDER giving me that opportunity though! She also told me that we got approved for more funding hours next year (meaning Sept to June) which also means an extra 10 hours approx. Which WOO for the paycheck!

Alright I’m off to do some housework and make some screencaps of half nekkid Chris Osgood…. I better do the housework first …..
