Happy Half Birthday TO ME!

Happy Half Birthday to ME,
Happy Half Birthday to ME,
Happy Half Birthday dear ME,
Happy Half Birthday to ME!

Thanks right ladies and gents. It is my half birthday today. 6 months ago I turned 24, and in 6 months I turn 25.

Remember how last year I was planning a huge trip for my 24th bday...well that didn't happen OBVI....cause I didn't blog about it(I've been a slacker but not THAT big of a slacker) I am getting better however! BUT I am going on a trip with my Girl Ashley... It's a 25th bday present to me/reward for working my butt off at the gym for the next 6 months!

Last week I was joking with a lady I work with that next week is my half birthday and I'd love a birthday card(since I never got one of my actual birthday) but I did get the BEST cake ever(one of SEVEN cakes that week).

I show up to work this morning with a little purple envelope on my desk. I opened it up to find HALF of a 'thats so raven' birthday card AND then I looked over and had half of a birthday cake.

Freakin made my day!

The first half of my 'birthday year' sucked H-CORE.
Let's hope the second half of my birthday goes a little bit better
.I think it's off to a pretty good start already. AND, I highly doubt anything else could happen that would phase me.

xoxo.

Best weekend ever!

I was starting to feel like 2010 needed to be over.....

This has been a rough year for me and my family.

.Boo.

I haven't had a very good summer, however this last weekend that all changed. I partied with my girlfriends, hung out at the lake, did some swimming, and hung out on a patio all night. It was nothing 'special' but it was good. I've really been avoiding alot of people lately, and I forgot how much I loved being with those girls.

Things are about to change for the better I can just feel it.

Sick. Dreams.

I am sick right now. No surprise there. I’m always sick.

I hate that I am sick right now because:
-I can’t taste anything
-I was just getting started on my first week of P90X and was super stoked, and gungho
-I’m sick enough to not feel 100% but I’m not sick enough to stay home from work…yet.
-I’ve been taking so much medication.
-As of today @ 3:12 I’ve used a whole box of Kleenex since Monday
-I fell asleep in the shower last night… Why am I the only one who doesn’t find this weird? I’ve been falling asleep in the shower/tub since I was little.

Things I sort of like because I’m sick:
-I get to go to bed earlier, and not called a grandma.


That’s it.

Not many on the ‘like’ list. Boo.

I’ve been getting sick 10-11x a year for the past two years. That averages out to be about once a month. I know I need to go to the Dr. I already know what they’re going to say. Take Vitamins, and drink lots of fluids. There’s nothing they can do for me. My mom gets mad at me all the time because I won’t go to the clinic.

I’m going to hang out with a way good friend tonight, who is taking nutrition in school and she’s going to do a nutritional assessment on me, maybe I just need to eat better. We’ll see. I’ll keep you updated on that front.


The point of this post is that when I’m sick I have weird dreams. I remember my dreams very well, and if I wake up half way thru my dream it’s very easy for me to fall back into them. I’m not sure what that’s called, but I know my Patriachal Blessing talks a lot about me listening to my dreams, because they’ll show me what I should do (It really throws me off when I have dreams about creepy clowns and lawn knomes) But last nights dream was retardedly weird and I haven’t been able to shake it. I was diving with someone(I’m assuming my dad, since he’s usually my main dive buddy) and I lost him(which happens a whole hell of a lot when I’m diving because I get side tracked by shiny things under the water and I go off on my own, and I get lost) It doesn’t help that I don’t know how to use a compass… oyi. ANYWAYS, I lost my dive partner, then found him and he wasn’t moving, I went up to the surface and people were talking to me about how I needed to take my air to him because he had a heart attack. UMMM, if you have a heart attack underwater, another tank won’t help you(FYI) incase anyone wanted to know. Anyways, point being my dream was about diving with someone who died from a heart attack! UGH! Now I’m going to be nervous that my next dive buddy will die while we’re 60feet under the water. Frig. Dad, if you read this…don’t have a heart attack on me mmkay? Mmkay! To any of you who read this and might be a future dive partner—Don’t have a heart attack because I don’t want to do search and rescue on a pleasure dive. Thanks

Raises....club med....Masters...OH MY!!!

I was told by some friends on mine that my blogging for the last 3 or 4 months has been sporatic. I really didn’t need them to tell me. They said now I blog 2 or 3 times a month when I would blog 2 or 3 times a DAY! Huge difference.

I am going to definitely try and do better that’s for sure. I’ve been wanting to blog since Sunday, but just haven’t really had the time. I haven’t been feeling well lately- the weather in Calgary sucks hardcore. I haven’t even been to the Stampede yet, and by this time last year I think I had gone EVERY NIGHT! I’ve definitely saved a lot of money that’s for sure! Speaking of money. I just got a raise. Oh yea! WAHOOO!!! It couldn’t have came at a more better time. I am actually going to start my dive training to become a dive master. This sport is not cheap. Thanks to my dad for getting me started- I’ve been diving officially over half my life (as of spring 2010) I started right after I turned 12 and couldn’t have been more excited! I still love it to this day! I want to try and make some money off it now. My plan has always been to move to Australia and dive there for a year, however on the weekend I was talking with this girl Ashley Strachan(who has become one of my fave people ever) [Heb will you please tell her that] and she’s been diving for 6 years. It was refreshing to talk to someone who is a diver and knew what they were talking about, because I’ve met SOOO many people in Calgary who think they are ‘divers’ because they took a resort course in the Bahamas . No offense people(if you’re one of them) but that’s not ACTUAL diving. I’d rather dive with someone who’s had more than two hours of class time and some warm water dives. I like to be safe! Ashley is moving to the Bahamas for the rest of the summer to be a snorkel instructor thru ClubMed—JEALOUS. Bleh. I’ve never really gone and done anything like she has before… HOWEVER that is all about to change. I want to work for ClubMed and be a dive instructor. She was telling me that they’re always looking for dive instructors. Free room and board, free food….mmm and hott boys! I’ll take it!

I need to look more into this—I haven’t really done very much research yet this has been the only thing on my mind for the last few days. I want to take my Dive Master with someone that I trust and whenever I google, or drive past a dive shop in Calgs it’s always a PADI store, and I’m a NAUI diver(it’s just organizations that you belong too) When Ash gets back hopefully she’ll want to get wet, because I’m always looking for more dive buddies. It would be so fun to do my Masters with her.

AHHHH—thinking of that, really makes me not want to be in the career that I am. I want to be in the water! I love the water..

I hope you’re all jealous of me. In 18 months I may or may not be on my way to somewhere warm for a year to instruct. Please feel free to start saving your pennies to come visit me. I would love the company.
