Day 243, December 29th, 2013

Another cold day,  sitting around watching criminal minds and eating ju jubes :)
Jordan is clearing snow and it seems to be taking forever.  He's been down to the neighbors already and now he's in for lunch.  Someone else has asked him to clear his driveway so now we're off to do that.  Have a good Sunday!

Day 242, December 28th, 2013

Another day snuggled up on the couch or in a chair.  Still not feeling well and the weather wasn't nice today so relaxing was allowed and the TV just happens to have a criminal minds marathon on right now *insert extreme happy face here*

Hope you're having a nice safe Saturday!!!

Jordan thinks me cleaning his spurs is a romantic way to spend a Saturday evening. 

Day 241, December 27th, 2013

Ugh, what a horrible sleep. I swear I slept anywhere from 7-15 minutes at a time. Darn cold. I tossed and turned and just couldn't stay comfortable. My brain wouldn't shut off and the weirdest things kept going through my mind. Just when I'd be falling asleep, I'd snort/snore a little and wake myself up. I really didn't want to snore because of Jordan, I didn't want to bother him. So when the alarm went off and he went to the barn, I played operation take over the bed. I swear I took up that whole queen size bed. I love to cuddle with pillows when I'm sleeping and since my stomach has been bothering me I can't sleep on my sides for too long so that means Jordan has been lacking cuddles. So when I had the bed to myself, Jordan's pillow got cuddles and I fell asleep.
When Jordan came back in, I got up while he had his breakfast and than I went back to bed until about 9:40 and now I'm curled up downstairs watching bride shows :) I coughed up some nasty stuff so I can breathe out my nose!! woohoo! Come on cold, get out!!

Hope everyone has a good Friday!

Day 240, December 26th, 2013

Boxing day! and I'm sick. Had a fever all night, internal furnace was set a little high. Sweating, clamy, gunked up throat... all the fun stuff.
Went upstairs and opened presents! I got a new laptop bag set, so I have a very fancy bag to hold everything necessary for my lap top that can hold papers, dvd's, pens, cords, etc. and another one that will hold just my laptop and cords. This is great as I was carting this laptop to Jordan's in a reusable bag and the laptop wrapped in a hoodie. So I appreciate getting a bag as this will help me greatly! City gramma and grampa bought me a Pink John Deere blanket and I'm SO in love with it! I opened it and curled up in it all day. Its warm and fuzzy and perfect :)
I hope I start to feel better soon as I don't want to be sick my entire holiday :(

Happy Boxing day!!

so Jordan and I have been talking about NOT getting a puppy right away with his new house but yesterday we were looking at ads of puppies. I contacted one place but they were sold out already so when Jordan and I went to mom and dads last night, I asked about which dog we were going to breed Buttons too and these are the people. They sure have some good looking dogs. Perhaps when Jordan and I are ready to have a puppy, we will go see this family and find something when the time is right.

Day 239, December 25th, 2013

Merry Christmas!!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day today!

Our Christmas is a little different than most years. This is the first year that my mom has to work Christmas day, so its up to dad and I to make it on our own.
First, we opened stockings before mom went to work. Than dad and I puttered for a bit to get ready for the day. Kev stopped by to get a table and chairs for their Christmas day. After that, Dad and I headed off to his work to grab his cell phone and than to my Uncles to visit with the Dearman family.
When we arrived there, only my two uncles and my gramma were there so I really got to visit with my gramma before everyone arrived.
I haven't seen my gramma in a really long time and she had such a good day! Her memory was really good and she ate really well!! I was pretty excited to be around her, especially since she was having a really good day. She had such a sense of humor that it was hard for dad and I to leave her. Especially when dad went to say bye and her eyes welled up with tears. See, Dad is the baby in the family and so am I for grandchildren. I spent a lot of time with my gramma when growing up, we used to bake together a lot and she used to play cards with me and just was an excellent gramma. So when she teared up, dad gave in and stayed a little while longer.
When we left, we were part way home and I noticed that I was getting a really bad sore throat. Great, I'm getting sick. My dad was my mom is and now me. *sigh*.
Dad and I get home and started doing chores when mom pulls in the driveway! No way! She's just supposed to be leaving work nevermind getting home from work! Oy, so dad and I rushed, got the chores done, he made supper and I helped him finish wrapping presents.
We ate supper and than Kev and Nikki came over and we started opening presents. Jordan soon arrived and than it all got chaotic. Wrapping paper everywhere and presents all around us. We were definitely spoiled!
I have to say, Jordan's gift is incredible this year, I'm going to be spoiled as he's going to buy me a new lens for my camera!! He printed a picture of a lens and wrapped it into a box, well I know his mom wrapped it but still, it was his idea! This is great! I'm very shocked and looking forward to figuring out what lens I'd like to get!
I received a lot of camera things for Christmas this year and I'm so beyond happy! Dad got me a really nice bit and he's going to make me a head set for it! Yay!!
It was definitely a different Christmas but it was a very good Christmas. In total, I'll be having 4 Christmases. One with my parents, kev, nikki and Jordan and than one with Jordan's family. Than one with my parents, brother, Riana and girls. Than one more at Jordan's city grandparents! Glad they're spread out! Christmas day, boxing day, New Years eve and New years day!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I truly hope you had an excellent day!!!

Day 238, December 24th, 2013

It's Christmas Eve and even though I'm an adult I'm looking forward to tomorrow.  I'm excited to see the faces of those who I love open the presents I bought them and made them.  I think that is one of the most exciting things about being older on Christmas is being able to give.  The thought that goes in and knowing that you'll make someone happy is wonderful.
Tonight isn't going to be filled with tradition but it should still be good.  Jordan and I again will be separated but tomorrow I'll get to watch him open his gifts and spend sometime with the family :)

I hope everyone is enjoying the spirit of Christmas and is able to spend lots of time with friends and family they cherish and enjoy!!

Merry Christmas eve

Day 237, December 23rd, 2013

Well its the eve of Christmas eve and in my household, that usually means preparing for the big day. This year, I'm done all my wrapping and gift buying so I'm not overly sure what is going to happen tonight but I do know that the big day is approaching quickly.

I'm sad to say that the house again, did not come today and have not heard when it will come and this is a huge disappointment to me that we still have no actual delivery day. Its hard to not give up hope but this girl is still trying to cling on that one day they will give us a delivery date and hopefully while I'm still on holidays... :(

I was very touched that Gramma Elskamp made out the card and chocolates to Jordan and I. :)

Day 236, December 22nd, 2013

Last night was a great evening.  Enjoyed visiting with friends/family that we haven't seen in awhile.  No lack in food or drink.  Gift exchange was fun as per usual! Nice to get together at this time of year as everyone is in the Christmas spirit and happy to see one another!!

Today, Jordan cleaned snow off his pad in preparation for the house coming tomorrow or at least hoping comes tomorrow.

Now to relax as we're both really tired.  Have a good night! :)

I thought I was done with these! Ugh *grumble*

Day 235, December 21st, 2013

Sweetwater Christmas party tonight!!!! This means clean up and prepare for evening day lol.  Poor mom is sick, dad is doing other things so now up to me! Vacuuming and dusting are my thing.  I prepped the weenies and they're warming and now to get ready myself.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!!! Have a good Saturday evening!!

Day 234, December 20th,2013

Last day of work before holidays and I can't wait. Five hours and 40 minutes until I'm out of here. So excited!

Received cards and little gifts today from Co-workers! Here is one gift from Benj :)

On a side note, house is supposed to come Monday!!

Day 233, December 19th, 2013

Its Thursday and last night I received my calendars! I ordered 10 of them and they're sold out! I can't believe it! I'm probably going to place a small order for those that missed out!
Pretty excited about that! Next year, I'm going to plan it better and have it more organized!!

Thank you to everyone who bought one and is ordering one! Have a good Thursday, 6 days until Christmas!!

Day 232, December 18th, 2013

1 week until Christmas!! Are you ready?! I am!! Ha ha ha not to brag or anything, lol. I still have one little craft project left. I started it on my break and than when I got home, I started on the finishing touches. Still have a lot more to go but I think it will turn out ok!

Happy Hump Day! And Happy 1 week until Christmas!

Day 231, December 17th, 2013

Tuesday morning and I only have today and 3 days to work.. Jordan is supposed to find out tomorrow exactly when the house is coming, he just has to sign the lawyer paperwork and Steve will let him know about delivery. I'm so excited but nervous if its this week that I won't be able to get time off to be there. I have every right to be there as I've been waiting for months AND I have a holiday day for it so I better get to be there!!
Tonight is our work Christmas party and we're going to Ichiban! I've never been so I'm looking forward to it. Yesterday, amongst my crazy fast shopping, I forgot to get a gift for tonight, so on my break I walked over to Home Outfitters and grabbed something for tonight. Now on my lunch, I need to pick up something to put it in, more than likely a bag, and I'll be allllll set for tonight!
Now... just to figure out where I'm going! HAHA!!

Happy Tuesday

Day 230, December 16th, 2013

Alrighty than, lets do this day! First things first... blood work! I've been fasting for 14 hours and I'm starting to get hungry! I'm in, the girl finds my vein right away and I'm done! Now to kill time until my doctors appointment. Which consisted of sitting there, playing on my phone for a bit and that's about it. Get into my appointment. Find out that my doctor is in a mood and didn't want to spend time with me. She even rushed my b12 injected and I tell you, when you rush it, it burns A LOT! Than she tells me that my CT is normal, phew, but why am I in so much pain?! Now she says, I get to get tested for Celiac's Disease and get my stomach scoped :( Booo to that!
Now to grab something to eat.. than SHOP SHOP SHOP... ok I make it sound worse than what it really is. i grabbed some breaky and than headed to the pharmacy to have some pictures printed up for yet another Christmas project, than to Hallmark to get something for my momma and try to find something for my friends baby shower this evening. Found something for my mom and sucker me found something for Jordan too.. so he has ANOTHER gift! Spoiled boy. After that it was to the bargain shop to try and find something for the baby shower since I had no luck at Hallmark. Score. Found something that is different than your typical baby shower gift! Its a firefly night light. Half plush half plastic/light. It has 7 different constellations and 2 different shapes. 7 different colours and patterns! I thought it was cool, especially since I know how much my nieces like theirs!
Went to deals for dollars, found some little extra's for wrapping that I needed and off to the post office. Well I got there too late and had to go home. Ate a quick lunch, watched some tv and back into town to the post office. Got one of dad's gifts but didn't get my calendars :( so disappointed.
After that, back home to wrap all the presents and do chores. Well wrapping presents took longer than expected and dad got home before I started doing chores so I went and did that with him and discovered that the mare and 3 foals were in with the stud and geldings. Got them out of there and still have no idea how they got in. Than dad discovered that our poor Joker had the crap beat out of him and was missing chunks and was all scraped up so he got pulled out of there and moved into a different corral.

Now its baby shower time! Have a good evening!!

Puppy in a boot anyone??

Day 229, December 15th, 2013

Ah Sunday morning and we're sitting at Kev and Nikki's place waiting for Nikki to make us breakfast. At least we brought hashbrowns and aren't totally mooching ;) Jordan and I must've been thirsty because we went through a whole carton of Orange Juice x_X!!
Had a good breakfast of hashbrowns, bacon, eggs and toast :) yum yum!
After that, Jordan and I went to Trevors to get him, Annika and Espen to go pick up the couches that Jordan got the weekend before. We're taking them to Numi's as him and Dianne so graciously offered us a place to store them! So at least that is complete!
Now to sit down and watch the INSANELY wicked fall finale with Once Upon a Time... will I break into tears??

Night everyone!

Day 228, December 14th,2013

Jordan and I finished a corner brace today.  Which is another step closer to finishing the fence.  The worst part is trying to find ambition to actually finish this fence in its entirety. After that we went to my place to move hay carry wood pails and catch Justice.

That evening went to Jays for cake and ice cream and home to bed! Night night!!

Day 227, December 13th, 2013

Happy Friday the 13th!! I didn't realize that it was going to be a Friday the 13th until 2 days ago, how embarrassing! haha!

My condolences go out to the Zarichney family this week. They've been going through some rough times in the past little while when it comes to animals passing away. I'm sorry for your losses as I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet. Hope you can all get through it and no more sickness comes your way. ♥♥♥

Hope today brings good weekends to you all!

Happy anniversary Mike and Riana :)

Day 226, December 12th, 2013

Am I in any better mood today? No. I didn't even get a chance to be in a better mood today as the first thing I did was read a message on my phone that just made me cranky.
Why can't people stand up for what they say? And why do they have to be jerks about it when the person can't even see what they're saying? Someday's, I really really hate technology and hate people. Apparently everyone is ok with what was said and its no big deal but personally, I think its BS. But why should I care? No one else does. So whatever. I'm done.

Day 225, December 11th, 2013

I'm having a real bad day. Not impressed with majority of the day. I pretty much wish I never got out of bed this morning and could cover my head with my blanket and hide amongst the pillows... yup. Lets hope today ends better than the day has gone so far.

Day 224, December 10th, 2013

I walked into my work only to see Bullseye sitting on top of Benj's desk! He's so cute!! I'm sure Piper more than Tanner will get a kick out of him! I'd like to keep him for myself but the point was to get him for the girls, hehe!!

I sent the site map off to our house guy and hopefully its good enough. He's thinking that the house won't be delivered until next week unless the lawyers somehow finish today and the drivers can still deliver this week but its looking doubtful. Oh well, I'm just really really hoping that it gets done early week otherwise I'll be SOL!

Happy Tuesday!

Day 223, December 9th, 2013

Its is FREEZING outside today.. -40 with the windchill. So ya, its got bite outside. Not looking forward to going out and starting my vehicle so many times today either.
One thing I have to do today and I'm not happy about it, lol, but I have to go to the Bay and go to the MAC counter to get colour for my eyebrows (I barely have any for those who don't know me in person) I'm pretty much entirely out and scraping the bottom so I need to bite the bullet and go get some more. Good thing it lasts a long time. I don't like going because I always find something I want to buy with it so I try to stay away! haha!!!

Have a good monday peeps! Stay warm!

Day 222, December 8th, 2013

Oh man... I'm so happy we went to the Christmas party last night. I had SO SO SO much fun!! The meal was fantastic! Had pork roast, green/yellow beans, corn, mashed potatoes, stuffing, meatballs, caesar salad, raw veggies, fresh homemade buns and yummy cranberry sauce. Dessert was cherry cheesecake, trifle or dainties. Very yummy. After supper was a very energetic and competitive game of Pictionary, men vs. women and ended up playing a game in a half. Guys won first round, we won second round. Than we stayed out until around 3 maybe? We had to take Ryan home... lol.
Today is so cold out, I was dreading going outside but didn't end up doing anything outside and decorated inside at Jordan's parents. Looking a lot like Christmas!!

Day 221, December 7th, 2013

I worked really hard to lose 30 lbs. I was succeeding and feeling so excited about how great I was doing until I hit a major bump in the road.  I started feeling ill when eating raw veggies and bloating really bad.  I started gaining weight with sometimes up to 6 or 7 lbs. a day and losing it the next day.  The pain was getting worse and eventually making me quit eating anything raw vegetable related.  Since August I've put on 8lbs but look like I've put all 30 back on.  I went for a physical and now have been going for a series of tests including a ct scan. I'm waiting on results but something is wrong.  I feel horrible and hate looking at myself in the mirror.  My self esteem is out the window right now when it comes to my appearance. I'm discouraged and feel defeated. It changes all throughout the day and I'm getting incredibly fed up and feel absolutely disgusting
 :( whatever is wrong, I hope they figure it out soon before I lose all ambition to keep trying to lose weight.

Day 220, December 6th, 2013

EEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! We could and probably WILL find out when the house is coming today.. if we don't, I think I'll just CRY!!! Its so close to Christmas and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to see Jordan in that house before Christmas! Here's to crossing fingers!!!!!

Day 219, December 5th, 2013

ARGH!! Tons of SNOW! Driving the gravel was insane! Good thing I'm a confident driver and have a lot of experience driving in snow on gravel otherwise I'd just sit there and cry! Some spots, I was pushing the drifts with my bumper! The worse part is, people had been down the road but with the ground blowing, it fills in the ridges of the tire tracks and makes the drifts even higher! LOL!!
On a happy note though, I ordered my pictures for Christmas cards yesterday!! So very very excited to see how they turn out!!! Hopefully picking them up today! I will give you a preview of one of the cards being put into Christmas cards though and this is an unofficial picture of the day ;)

Official photo of the day consists of trying to finish Christmas cards only to find out that I'm short on cards :( bummer. 

Day 218, December 4th, 2013

Why oh why is this so hard? Who knew these types of decisions could be so time consuming? Am I going to make the right decision? Will I have regrets? UGH!!!! :( I don't like this at all.  *sigh*

It's snowing like crazy outside boo to that! Stay warm out there!

Day 217, December 3rd, 2013

Pretty darn excited that this morning I finished my dad's Christmas Shopping! I looked for this one particular item on Black Friday but couldn't find it. Cyber Monday deals are still going on and happened to search for it one more time and found it!! Luckily enough it came to (after taxes and shipping) only $29.99!!! Yipee!!! So glad to be finished one person!!!! Now if only I could find things like that for Jordan! Well, I have, but its now sold out :( which is realllly disappointing. *pouts*

Looking forward to playing with these!!

Day 216, December 2nd, 2013

Monday morning blues :( had a really rough night sleeping, stupid stomach! I don't sleep well on my back at all and last night I didn't have an option as I was so uncomfortable and that was the only 'comfortable' way to sleep :( oh well. I'm now up way later than I should be but I just finished ordering calendars, I have no idea if people are going to like them but I shall find out soon!

Goodnight everyone!★

Day 215, December 1st, 2013

Happy Birthday to someone close to my heart regardless as to how close we are now! Love you Colin!!♡

Right now I'm sitting in Jordan's truck at Kev and Nikki's house waiting for them to come home. Jordan wandered some where with his old 22 and I'm watching Cowboy flick his ears around, must hear Jordan shooting at stuff.

Have to say I'm enjoying being able to update my blog via my new phone! I'm also trying out instagram, you can find me at Dearman1984 but don't know how to link my page! Ha ha :)

Have a good Sunday!!!

Day 214, November 30th, 2013

Oooh playing with my new phone today (which took forever to get mind you) and updating my blog and seeing about ordering more Christmas presents! Hope everyone has a great Saturday! Looking forward to seeing Trent and Val tonight and was excited to see Keen this morning!! :):)

Day 213, November 29th, 2013

I'm very excited about this morning! I was able to get several things accomplished first thing this morning and one of those things was to be able to go outside and take some pictures of the horses amongst the snow. They seemed quite grumpy but friendly at the same time, especially Sampson and Hot Rod(who we've yet to name and have a feeling that name is going to stick.)  I was able to snap a few pictures of Poncho, which I'm really excited about because I plan on putting some pictures in random peoples Christmas Cards this year and the pictures I got of Poncho will be great!! I'll be going through those photos later this evening!! :):):)

Day 212, November 28th, 2013

The snow is pretty today, even though we definitely had enough of it yesterday, today is a day I'd like to dress up and go outside with my camera and just take pictures and take pictures and take pictures! Its SO pretty outside!!! The snow is falling slowly and all the snow that fell yesterday is all over the trees and it would be so gorgeous to be out there today but I'm stuck at work :( Maybe some of the prettiness will carry over into the weekend! Here's to hoping for some great pictures this weekend!

Happy Thirsty Thursday!!!

Day 211, November 27th, 2013

Blah, its a snow day.. literally, its been snowing all day. People keep coming into my work saying how crazy it is out there and how much snow has accumulated and what not. This doesn't make me excited to go home but I'm sure it will be fine.

On a side note, I'm still so so so incredibly thirsty!

Day 210, November 26th, 2013

So its finally Tuesday, that means that I'm heading off to Selkirk today to get my ct done on my abdomen. Maybe this will reveil as to why I feel as poorly as I do. It would be so nice to finally have answers and get to the bottom of things.
Jordan goes to the lawyers and to the bank today which will determine when the house comes and what not. I'm starting to not feel as excited as I once was because waiting forever kind of takes the winds out of your sails type deal. Just want it over and done with and I have a feeling that they will be delivering on Friday and I won't be able to witness it as I won't be able to get friday off and that depresses me. Jordan doesn't get it but oh well. Guess I'll just have to take it as it is.

Here's to *crossing fingers*

The nurse missed with my IV twice and once being in the wrist, that is very painful actually, I could hardly move my hand for quite a few hours after, must've disturbed a nerve too. Finally, on the third try and a new more experienced nurse, she finally got it but it hurt too because it was right near the first failed poke so yes, I had an interesting time getting my IV and getting my injections! Apparently I'm a tough one to find a vein and I could've told you that, they always fight to get blood from me :(

Day 209, November 25th, 2013

Monday morning, you have thrown a curve ball at me. Those icy roads and the new BS Centreport way thinger, oy! You made it for a slippery drive this morning! Hopefully today will end up being a good day. I didn't sleep well so it could be a long one. This morning, they will lay our friend Emile to rest. I wish I could make it to the funeral but since I have my doctors appointment tomorrow and with the house hopefully coming this week, I was unable to take off the time. So Ride on Cowboy, may you always rest in peace and remember that people care very much for you.

On a side note, our friends had their baby today!! Congratulations to the both of you!! It was only a little while ago that I shot your maternity photos!! Can't wait to meet the little one!!!

Happy Monday peoples!!

An unfinished wreath that would be my mom's, not sure if I'm satisfied yet!

Day 208, November 24th, 2013

Its nice to think you're having a good day and enjoying company when later you're told that something that was meant to be a joke turns around and bites you in the ass. You find out later that it was never taken as an offense and that they never heard the joke but to shake the feeling of how you could've made someone mad, sucks. Hopefully I start to feel better soon and don't ruin the evening..

Day 207, November 23rd, 2013

Jordan took me out for breakfast to the Rock this morning, what a nice surprise! I can not remember the last time we went out for breakfast, its probably been almost a year since we've been out! After that, we did some light shopping as we had to go to the bank, home hardware and big block. Off to my place for a visit where we found out that Trent and Val got engaged!!! So excited for them!!
Now we're at his place and I started some of my crafting while listening to Christmas carols and now updating my blog and my facebook part of my blog!

Have a happy Saturday everyone!

Day 206, November 22nd, 2013

Well, I just got a call from my doctor's office. They want me to go for a CT on Tuesday. Yes, I'm freaking out a little bit but I'm trying to calm myself down.
I'm just hoping all of this comes to a conclusion and can get me healthy again!

Beauty, exactly what is it? Is it perfection? Is it the flaws that attract our eyes? Why do we look at ourselves and pick out what we think is horrible and think someone else will think its horrible too?
I have some kind of black mark on my nose that wasn't on my nose when I looked in the mirrow so I'm not quite sure what that is. I have a skin tag thing that I'm too scared to have removed because I had some removed and they left scars, so as ugly as people might think it is, I'd rather have it than a scar. I hate my pores, I hate that I have a blemish close to the tag BUT if I hadn't pointed those things out, would everyone notice? Would people just look and see my eye? Why do we torture ourselves with these things? Why do we let ourselves believe that our own imperfections make us ugly when really they can give us character? Why even as I write this, feel I shouldn't post this photo of myself because people might think its ugly? Here's to trying something different.

Unofficial photo of the day

Its all for Charity

Day 205, November 21st, 2013

Well its Thursday of my short work week and I always find that short work weeks go by rather slowly. Nothing about the week speeds up or makes it more exciting by any means. The only thing that would make this week more exciting if some good news would finally come our way.. for anything.
Last night, I wasn't able to do anymore crafty stuff as Jordan was over and so was Kevin. So that eliminated anything productive, which is really ok. I don't mind that Jordan distracts me!
I'm also on the hunt for Christmas presents! Wish my brother would send me his list so that I could start figuring out what to get the girls!!

Anyhow, enjoy your Thursday peeps!!

So this is my latest creation.. I like it, it'll look better when its not taken with flash though. And yes, that is my towel hanging there... LOL :)

Day 204, November 20th, 2013

I didn't say goodbye. Its too hard and I just couldn't look at them. I think about them and my eyes well up. How could people bring us to this decision? My poor little heart is feeling all the pain all the pressure.

I'm sorry for not saying goodbye, I just couldn't face you, couldn't face the guilt....

Lame picture I know, especially for the thing I just wrote above but it made me laugh and that's why I'm putting it in here. We just received a whole whack of flyers in the mail and in the mail was this catalogue that has all of these ridiculous things, this being one of them. You can't see the whole picture but its for when you need a nap. It covers your eyes and has holes in the top of it so that you can put your head down and your hands in it to keep warm and what not. What a crazy thing, ridiculous item to have AND its $99.99!!!! WOW! I wish I could make up something this dumb!

Day 203, November 19th, 2013

Back at work today, feeling glum and not feeling the greatest but such is life. Work wasn't bad but not something that I was really up for doing.
Jordan heard from the lawyer and the papers are ready to sign but now grampa is saying he's busy. I'm so frustrated with people right now. Nothing can ever go smoothly and I know I'm sounding all downer debbie right now but I just want something ANYTHING to go right.
On a good note though, Kevin induced the brindle and she finally had her baby. He's pretty neat looking. Will take more pictures when he's dry.

Day 202, November 18th, 2013

Shopping Shopping Shopping!! I normally don't get excited about shopping but Christmas is not far away and I'm looking forward to buying Christmas presents for my loved ones.

Mom, Kat, Nikki and I headed towards Steinbach to go to the Stone Creek tack store there. On the way we stopped for breakfast at Humpty's. We had a horrible waitress but at least the food was decent. After that, we went to Stone Creek and didn't find anything overly exciting. I got my dad a gift and found a shirt for Jordan but it was $70.00, so no go.
After Stone Creek we went to Stone Brook Pantry, which is an awesome place. My Mom had never been there before and she ended up finding some cool things. She bought Raspberry yogurt covered pretzels. They were amazing. I wish we had bought more in all reality, they're pretty tasty!! hmm maybe Pan can pick up some?!?! HaHa!

Afterwards, we went to liquidation world in the mall they have there and found some decorations for my mom's wreath and a couple little gifts that I can have on hand incase someone gives something to me, I'm prepared!
Than off to Tim Horton's for a quick coffee or in my case, a smoothie. After the visit with Pan, we headed to Canada West. When we got there, I immediately looked for my bit and it was not there :( Than I went and looked at cowboy boots and I have to say how horribly awful those boots are. I absolutely do  not like square toe boots at all. I think the fashion is terrible and it is not fair to those who do not like them to only have those as an option. They have 3 pairs of extremely pointy boots and than the rest square toe. I'm so disappointed that we have a facility that makes boots in my city and they do not give a variety to the consumer. Just awful.
After Canada West, we headed for home. We dropped off Kat and went back to my house. Brent and Kevin were there so Nikki was able to go home with them. When they left, we had supper and part way through supper we received a phone call. One of our previous boarders/friend passed away. I sat in tears when dad told us as he hung his head and mom covered her face with her hands. Instant gloom, instant saddness, instant silence. My heart is broken and filled with a very heavy feeling.
My thoughts go out to the family. He was incredibly young and such a nice man. We will miss you ♥

Ride on Cowboy, Ride on.

 

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

'Twas grace that tought my heart to feel

and grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

When we've been there, ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than we first begun

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost by now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

This picture does not go with how I feel at all but nonetheless it is apart of my day.

I loved that this bottle put a Common Sense Caution on it, more things should say this.

 

Day 201, November 17th, 2013

Sooooo it snowed a lot last night which is a major bummer. Jordan and I have a lot of fence work to do and this snow isn't helping anything. We also partially uncovered the pad to use the tarp for the garage floor so now we have even more snow on the pad for the house, which Jordan is not happy about either. With this snow, we now have even more work to do and we really need the lawyers/land titles to get off their asses so we can get Jordan's house in. He's starting to worry about it not being able to come in and I'm worried that he's starting to not feel positive about it. That's not normally Jordan.  I think it will work out but we all have our tinges of feeling a little doubtful about the situation.

With the amount of snow we got, I was sure happy I brought my bibs and winter boots to Jordan's place. Having those really helped me out while trying to finish some braces for the fence. I would've been a frozen useless popsicle if I hadn't. Hoping that some of the snow goes, I don't think it will all go though. Welcome to winter everyone.

Day 200, November 16th, 2013

 

I can't believe its Day 200 already and I don't have a very good picture to show for it.

Today was not exciting, I was rather miserable and uncomfortable. The weather was also miserable and I didn't have any camera's with me other than my phone (which I've used a lot lately) but with it being cold outside, my battery dies almost instantly if I use my phone in the cold, so I didn't get any cool pictures. What we did do today was get our hay from Jordan's cousins place and move that to his yard. We also secured some more hay so we should have enough for the winter, providing that its not a long winter. I'm pretty excited for everything though but with the way I've been feeling, excitement doesn't show much on my face. Now, to warm up my toes as they're freezing from this random storm.

 

 

Day 199, November 15th, 2013

Wow, what a whirl wind of a day. First, I went to Stonewall to the doctors. I couldn't find my B12 so I'm still in search of that. Next, I talk to my doctor about my stomach issues. Proceed to have my abdomen checked and she presses on something and it hurts. She proceeds to press else where and goes back to the spot that hurts. She asks me if that spot hurts and I say yes. She says, you have a lump there. So off to x-rays I go. Hours later(would've been faster but someone got into a car accident) I get my x-rays and blood work done and I'm off to Jordan's place.
When I'm approaching his road, I can see the cement truck in his driveway!! I get all excited only to find out that they're still working on the heating tubes for the in floor heat as they're behind because someone messed up the forms the day before.

Waiting for everything to happen was very cold but very cool!! Late late night it will be!!

oh and for those that may ask if I'm concerned or worried, I will tell you that I'm concerned. I'm not worried. I can't worry until I know if its something to worry about. The only thing I keep thinking is that they solve my issues so that I can get back to losing weight and eating salads.. man I miss eating salads!!

Day 198, November 14th, 2013

Woot!! Today is my Friday as I have tomorrow off AND Monday!! Yippeee!!

Last night, I did another wreath and my mom is in LOVE with them! She really thinks that I could sell them. She has decided to take them to work and see if she can get orders for me to make some and make some money. I wouldn't be making much money off of them but I think they're pretty :)
I don't want to sell the two I've already made as I'm pretty sure they're Christmas gifts(as originally intended).

My thoughts are going out to the family of Paul Hueging today as they celebrate his life and cherish the memories that they will always have of him. He passed away too young from an unfortunate accident.

Day 197, November 13th, 2013

Well, like my post yesterday, I'm feeling awful today too. I've lost weight on the scale but my jeans are tight and they were NOT tight on Monday. Something is going on and I'm not happy. What do I do?? I'm so tired of this! :(:(:(

On a good note, yesterday, Jordan's hydro poles were put in and today they're doing the pad for the garage in hopes that tomorrow they will pour the concrete!! :)
