I've had a fun week. Tuesday night after work I arrived home and there was a message from Jackie inviting me to join her and her roommate at the Hilltop for her rommmates (Angie) birthday celebrations. But there was no way to get ahold of her, she didn't have her cell phone. Being the brave individuaL that I am however I risked going all by myself and hoping they were there (Sam also offered to pay for my cab there, so if they weren't there I would only have to pay for a cab home). I arrived and thankfully they were all there. We danced and drank beers and had alot of fun. Also Angie's husband didn't drink at all and was able to drive me home. So I didn't have to pay for a cab at all. Wednesday afternoon, at about 2:45pm Jackie showed up at my apartment and convinced me not to go into work for extra hours (which wasn't hard). However if I was going to skip work, we had to actually go do something. So we decided to go over to the mall and get a fancy Starbucks drink of some sort. We both tried the rasberry mocha frappacino, which was very disappointing and didn't have very much rasberry flavor. We walked out and seen the theatre, which prompted us to decide to go see a movie. That was still in the afternoon, so we went to her apartment and had supper (Salmon and rice, thanks for supper Jack!). At about 6pm we left and went to see the Bourne Ultimatum and really enjoyed it. There are alot of movies recently that are part of a trilogy. She also invited me to a tentative staff party the next day. I called her from work on Thursday to see if the plan had come together (I would have just met them at the tannery after work) and everyone had bailed out. Which was good for me anyway, cause I really couldn't afford it. We are moving in six days!! Wow! It makes me alittle sad because this place has been our home for three years, but I'm glad that the packing and moving will be over soon. I also finally got some definate information from Luke about our moving plans. We are moving both apartments on August 30th, and cleaning on the 31st. We went to Hannahs tonight for supper and both got there daylight hours special. It came with an appetizer, entree, two sides, and desert for $9.95. I had a salad, turkey and dressing with mashed potatoes and carrotts, I brought my cake home. Sam got soup, 2 fish pieces with a potato and a poutine and cake as well. It came to $29 and change plus $5 for a tip. Not bad at all. Sam and I rented the movie 23 with Jim Carrie to watch tonight. Its a psychological thriller. The main character becomes obsessed with a novel he believes was written about him. As more similarities seem to arise he becomes obsessed with the number 23. It looks like a good movie and it will be interesting to see Jim Carrie do a movie like this, instead of his usual funny characters. More on that later. Well I'm going to go play wratchet and clank on the PS2, mom lent it to me and I'm doing pretty well. :)

That movie was exactly what is said on the back...and nothing more. They got stuck in a motel and the owner/caretaker was trying to kill them for his video collection. That's it! There were no twists or surprises. I work today, tomorrow and Thursday, maybe I'll go in on Friday as well, but it all depends. Mom might come up to visit us this weekend to get out of her house and away from some of the stress there. Nothing's for sure though, so my work schedule kind of depends on if and when she wants to come up. I'm supposed to work this Saturday b/c I can't work my scheduled Saturday because we're moving, but I'm pretty sure it will be o.k as long as I make the hours up somewhere. My supervisor is pretty understanding as well, so I don't think it would be a problem. The windows are being replaced on our side of the building this summer and there are some men directly outside my window, they can peek right in if they want to. They are replacing the windows in the apartment above me today, so I might be tomorrow. I haven't gotten a little piece of paper on my door though telling me that...hmmm........Sam bought chicken dinners Sunday and bought us pizza last night!! Princess treatment!!! :)

I have been treated like a princess the last couple of weeks!! Last week Sam came home and showed me that he had bought a tim hortons travel mugg for himself, on Friday he brought me home one! Today he surprised me with a bouquet of flowers!! No reason either! I wasn't pissed off at him or anything. Just flowers for me today, cause he loves me! ;) They really put me in a better mood, work was ...LONG...today. The time just dragged on and on and..well you get the point. We were calling people and they would just answer...say not interested and hang up. That was it, or not even say anything and hang up. I made one sale all day. We are going to watch the movie vacancy tonight. It's a scary movie about a guy and a woman getting stuck sleeping in a shotty motel after their car breaks down off the highway. The only thing on T.V is gruesome horror flicks that they later realize were filmed in the same room that they are staying in..dum..dum.dumm!! It should be interesting to say the least. More on that later...gotta go...write later...:)

I FOUND THEM!! woohoo!! I called the transit services , just to double check that I hadn't left them on the bus. Turns out I did and the I called the office and asked if they had found any keys. They did and now the guy is trying to figure out a way to send them over with a bus driver to Kings place around for the time that I get downtown on my bus, then I can just walk over and get them!! He is being very helpful

I misplaced my keys, I think I left them at work. I got on the bus last night and usually I get my keys out right away and sit them on my lap. When I got off the bus I realized that I didn't have my keys, so I looked in my purse and realized that they weren't there and I hadn't taken them out. I do remember looking at them while at work and having them in my hands while I was sitting at my desk. I called Connect this morning and the secretary checked with the supervisors to see if anything had been turned in. Nothing had. I'm hoping that my supervisor found them after I left last night and is holding on to them for me. I'm going to go into work tonight for extra hours and to put up a sign saying that I misplaced my keys. The keys can be replaced, except maybe my mail box key, but I had alot of keychains from some interesting places. I had one from Great Britian that Karen brought back for my, one from Ireland that Pat brought back for me, one from PEI and New York, and a nice engraved keychain with my name on it that mom got me for my graduation this year. I forgot about that one, so...if my supervisor did pick it up, she would see that it had my name on it. Mom is going to come up and visit me this weekend. She still isn't feeling that great because her muscles are really sore, so Richard is going to drive her up.Sue and Cole might come as well. I think that would be really nice, it's supposed to be very warm and sunny in Fredericton all weekend. Hopefully they don't have any incidents with crazy deers this time. :) Apparently that deer did $4000 worth of damage on the silver car!! Good thing mom and rich have coverage in their insurance for crazy deers and such. I did pretty well at work last night, I made 6 sales, that's the best all week. I met someone new last night as well. Jasmine, she just started and we talked in between calls all night, which made the time go by much faster. She just got married last month and showed me the pictures. They had gotten married at Riverview beach I guess. The pictures were beautiful. They met at the beach, he proposed at the beach and so the also got married at the beach. It was free to use the beach, they rented some tents and bought a keg of beer and used the picnic tables and BBQ for the reception. That is the way to do a wedding, mostly free stuff. I'm gonna get something to eat, write later...:)

Jackie and I decided to go out last night, for some crazy reason. She had called me in the afternoon and invited me to Killarney lake to go for a swim. It was really hot yesterday so we went. We got there, took our pants and tops off and were heading to the water when the life guard stood up and ordered everyone one out of the water because of a storm warning. We were still uncomfortably hot and in our bathing suits, so we decided to go to the waiding pool downtown just to get wet. We arrived and began walking towards the pool and some guy said that the pool was closed to. So that idea was wrecked as well. We then just decided to go to the liquer store and figure out something from there. We arrived and noticed that if you bought a 12 pack of Corona you get a free straw hat. That was a sure sign letting us know we needed to go out. (we had talked about needing cowboy hats or something last weekend). After supper Jackie got a ride to my place and we drank here for alittle while before catching the bus downtown at 10:30pm (we are so cheap!) :) So we got there and went to Nickey zees first since we thought that they would have cheap drinks since they did last week. Well they didn't, but we both had a keiths draft and a vodka lime. We then went over to sweetwaters and the rodeo again. We had alot of fun dancing. I got up this morning to a stomach ache, but got ready for work anyway. I got downtown and went into work and began calling. I wasn't feeling all that great, but my supervisor informed me that I was in session right away and that I had to be in a bad campaign. Which ended up being alright because I don't think I can really be "monitored" when people just pick up, say I'm not interested, and hang up. Whatever. Then I went on my first break and had a green tea, which made my stomach feel alittle better. I made one sale right before 1pm and my supervisor said that everyone with two sales or less had to go home. Woohoo!! I lost out on some hours, but I worked and extra shift last week so I don't think it will matter. I caught the bus home and just lounged around all afternoon, it's been awesome! :) I also get Monday off for New Brunswick day and get paid for it, so I still get a weekend type break. Sam's friend Charles is over and he is going to install a really good video card in the computer for Sam. I don't know when though...hmm....they're out back drinking right now. I think someone has to drop the card off before they can fo anything. Oh well....gotta go....write later...
