Genevieve's Place

Oh, don't leave home...
The other day, I started to pack up my stuff. Unfortunately, this also includes cleaning. Bleh. I hate cleaning. Almost as much as I hate packing. I'm packing up all my stuff. Then I'm moving upstairs so my little sisters will both be in the basement. Muhaha, they deserve each other. So basically, only a few weeks til I leave. I feel so sick of talking about it...and then I feel unprepared, and caught by surprise when I haven't thought about it for a day.

Eva-g brought her wedding invitation by today. I could just sit and cry. For a long time.

Oh so one of my co-workers has pneumonia. Fun times.

Heyhey so...it's been awhile. I don't know what to say. I'm almost constantly tired now. I can't seem to fall asleep at night or sleep in. Fun times. Well, I guess I shouldn't get too used to sleeping in because I'll rarely ever get to do it again. Which is good, because I do like mornings. But sleep is so....sleepy sometimes.

This evening after work me an Annie went to go see 13 going on 30. We picked up Kendra from her fine place of work where customers are polite, and dragged her along. The movie was....meh...I guess. I would have rather not seen it. Oh well.

So I was talking to someone yesterday who didn't even know I was going anywhere this summer, and I had believed she knew everything. Oh well, I guess it's time to spread the word...if I have to. Oh, and I know the concerned people aren't reading this so...what the heck am I supposed to buy my friends as wedding gifts? And why do I find it so tacky to give money, even though that's what I would prefer and what most people would prefer. You can't win them all. The other day I realized I will be missing all of my friends' summer weddings, and that's just three this summer. Sigh...

Oh good news, I got my income tax done (but not sent in :P) and I'm getting everything back. woo...and also thanks to these 'fine' people...I'll be getting a lump sum payment for ratifying our union contract, even though I did nothing of the sort! woooo......free money....and I'm not even around to spend it...

As it turns out, we ended up not going to the city yesterday, which was fine, there wasn't really anything that I needed.

Lately, I've been sickly fascinated by the site Etiquette Hell. Reading about others' huge misfortunes is strangely entertaining, especially if they involve weddings. Kinda like the bystanders of car wreak. I highly recommend the Bridesmaids Dress Incinerator.

Yes, so yesterday I went to the city with my mom and we checked out my place. It looks really nice, but I guess at first glance, independance looks great. And I really like my landlady, she's really nice :) We were going to go to Kelsey's for supper, but it was full but we before we found out it was, my mom accused me of 'leading her astray' or something like that because I told her it was more of a sports bar place.hehe.

On Monday I will probably going to the city again, this time with some girls from work. Next week I have the best schedule, because someone's being trained to replace me...it's the best :D

It has yet to be determined whether my recent penchant for classical music is clearing my mind or clouding it. I usually tune out music after awhile, but I'm finding now it's tuning me out. Anyhoo...

Tomorrow I will probably, most likely be going to the city with my mom to see my place. I still have to call, and I'm bad at that. But other than that, it's another day off. I've been requested to wake up at 6:30 to pray for someone, but other than that I will be sleeping sleeping sleeping. We're only going in late, so I've got a full day of nuthin' planned.

Today at work we had to replace one of the pc's and my boss just keeps going on and on about how she thinks I'm such a computer whiz. Yeah, really I don't get it because, I mean, you plug things out and plug things in. There just computers, and they will probably behave the way you expect them to. Unlike people :P

So yesterday, yesterday. Me and Holly went to the city, it was good. We went to Wal-Mart, and for the first time *ever*, I didn't buy anything there. Then we went to Old Navy...where we spent a few HOURS annoying the fitting room people. Then bought stuff. I think I almost have everything I need for summer. Almost. Then we went out for supper to Applebees..yum. Then, eventually we went to see The Prince and Me. It was ok, it was good. The guy was really hot. Yeah, really cute.

This Friday I'm going in again, to look at the place I'm going to live. Yup, I know pretty much for sure now. I'll be living where Gina lived until a few weeks ago. I mean, if I had more time, or I was around this summer, I'd definitely be looking for an APARTMENT. Ah, well. I'm grateful for this anyway, close and cheap and all. And I don't really mind the no guys rule. Kinda gives me an excuse.

Guess what kind of music I'm listening to? Not country, not rap....but yes, classical. I couldn't tell you why other than I'm copying CDs for my mom. It's actually kind of relaxing...*snore*

Anyhoo, today I FINALLY (there I used uppercase for emPHAsis) called my future landlord that I would, in fact, be taking one of her rooms. I was soo looking forward to having an apartment though. I don't even mind their weird rules so much (no boys,etc) as much as I didn't want anyone noticing what I did, you know? If I'd stay up late, or have a get-together no one would care. And do you know what sucks the MOST? I can't have any 'parties' I'll have to suck up my hostess impulse, that, or save it for the weekends. Although I don't know how I'll make it home on the weekends.

Tomorrow me and Holly are going to Winnipeg where I have to do some major shopping for the summer. Well maybe not major because I don't even really know all the things I need because I haven't made a list yet but, I really feel like shopping. I also really need a monitor, I'm tired of looking up from my computer and everything has a green tinge to it. Joel can't come because his mom said he can't. I really wish you could come Joel. Now I won't see you til Christmas, and I couldn't even say goodbye. Goodbye, Joel.

Oh look!
Summer's here early! Woo...new site design...although I know just how much you loved the old one, maybe I'll go back to it sometime. I guess I figured since in !31! days that I'll only have limited internet access, and definetly no time to fiddle with blog stuff that I should change it now for summer. Hm, what do you think of the title? It was either this, 'fruits of summer', or 'my journal' 'my summer diary' 'summer serenity' 'summer speech' or 'welcome.' Thoughts? Opinions? I thought I went with the best one.

Laters!

Mmmk, I've come to somewhat of a conclusion. I can be quite selfish when it comes to other people, when all I need to do is sit and listen to what they have to say. Even if it's not easy to hear. That is all.

Yes, yes I should be sleeping already, so that tomorrow if my boss calls, I can say, 'No I want to keep my whole shift today'. So, I'm just sitting here, playing TestTwist and reminiscing, and wishing that I had gotten my pictures done in one hour, but no, I'll probably be waiting quite quite a while. A week is a long time when you only have a few left. (sounds like I'm dying doesn't it) But I saw some pictures of Holly's from Lethbridge over webcam and now I wish I had mine :(. I love pictures.

I'm still here.

Well, I better get this in before the internet goes down on me again. (Router things :()

So anyhoo, now that I'm here, I realize I've got very little to say. Last night I went out for coffee with a friend, whose only Christian friend is well, me. Besides, of course her bf. I'm finding it really hard to be a good example at sometimes, because we come from such different spectrums. She is coming from a life of hardships, working from a place in her life where it's just really hard to get out of, especially since she's surrounded by people who's lifestyle she used to share. And here I am, trying to get out and experience things for the first time. Not, of course, as severly as she did, but still, I 'need to get out more'. Anyhoo, I get the feeling from her that she hasn't exactly broadcasted her conversion, and I'm kinda relieved because there are some things still in her life that aren't consistant. So this is what has been capturing 100% of my attention for the last almost 24 hours. I'm probably the weakest Christian ever, but I feel absolutely CONVICTED that I have to approach her on these inconsistancies. And I've never ever done anything like this before. I'm not going to come running up to her with a Bible or anything. I just need to bring things up casualy in conversation. I hope everything goes well.

Anyway, that was waaay long-winded. But Holly and Crystal are coming over sooo

Laters!

*bwow bwow chicka bwow chicka chicka*
I'm finally finally using my new computer! Thanks to someone who actually knows stuff about computer connections, etc. Our next purchase will be a new router :P. Although the screen is purple, and everything I look at after using it for awhile has a tinge of green to it.

And yes, by the looks of my title...I'm reading it again....muahahah.

Here I am, just where I don't want to be...
Oh I wish I weren't here...back at work...I could complain and complain and wish and hope the way me and Holly did all the way home from Lethbridge today. I do wish though that I was back on their roof talking about making sweet sweet babies. But, the truth is, I only have about 4 weeks at work left!! EVER!! I'm very excited about leaving that place. Is it bad that I don't want to be a nurse anymore? I've got no idea anymore what I want to be 'when I grow up.' Maybe nothing. That'd be good.
