Moving x 4

Craziness and complete bonkerdom! So my brother is moving back to Saskatchewan and in an attempt to be a good sister(not that I am not one already!) I went with my Mom and her boyfriend to help him move. It actually was a really fun trip, we took turns driving and having "nap time" and singing songs as we always do on long road trips. We went to see my Grandma which was awesome since I hadn't seen her in almost a year. My Grandpa just passed away but Grams is doing great...spry as eva! We visited and took her to the casino and ate a bunch of food(always do...she is the stereotypical Ukrainian Baba). Anywho, I worked my butt off (as did everyone) cleaning and packing things yesterday. I left early this morning to come back to Saskatoon(7 hours away) with a car load of Brant's things and have begun my own work that needs to be accomplished. I am moving, have someone moving out and have my landlord's daughter moving in so I came to clean the place thoroughly! I have been scrubbing for over an hour and thought I would take a little break. Other than being busy and running all over the country I am doing and feeling pretty darn chipper! Until next time...Tress

Bookless Bliss

This is me smiling because I am happy!!!!!!!I AM FINISHED SCHOOL! Just wrote my last final...it was a toughie! I have made it through the year and am pretty pumped that it is summer and I have four whole months off from the books:) I am going out tonight to celebrate the great year and my good marks;) Hope all is well with you guys!

The Whirlwind That Is My Life

So my life right now is a bit crazy and it will only get crazier I am sure...
I am done school and have decided to work in Tisdale for the summer. I am writing final exams right now and have been driving back and forth to Tisdale(2 hours away) to work between these exams...it is bonkers! I am trying to juggle working, traveling, social life and exams at the moment and it is wearing me out. Not to mention I have become an avid LARPER in this past few weeks(just kidding). For instance, I worked till 2:30am last night, got up at 8:30am this morning, drove back to Saskatoon and am now leaving to go study at the University with my friend! All in a day's work right? Other than that I am doing fairly well. There will be a lot of moving and stuff next week as my brother is moving back to Saskatchewan and I somehow think I am going to have to help with that and also I may have people moving in and out of the condo I live in at the same time. My friend from Alberta is down right now and so I am going to go visit her tomorrow which I am excited about since I haven't seen her for so long but when the heck am I gonna have time to study????haha
Oh well, I am sure things will begin to settle down soon. Hope all is well with all of you and sorry if you can't get a hold of me...like I said I'm a tad busy for the time being;) xoxo

Happenings at Ye Olde Condo

Life is good but I am perturbed by my surroundings at the moment. I love my condo and it has a beautiful view of the golf course and a large pond. This pond is right outside my place and now that it is spring some "friends" of mine of flown back from the south. It was the geese who arrived a couple of weeks ago. It is mating season and all they all do is fight and/or try to "court" each other. They keep my up late at night and wake me up very early with their incessant honking and carrying on. I have attempted to borrow a gun of sorts from people but no one seems to have one;) The ducks just came a couple days ago and now the geese have others to talk to so it is louder than ever and they splash around day and night trying to maintain their respective turfs. Approximately 5 kids go out to the pond each day and throw rocks at them all and honk at them which has seemed to only create more havoc. Moving to the inside...my Mom brought me a new bed and since I do not have anywhere to put my old one at the moment I have mattresses out on my balcony blocking any light I may have had in here, headboard and endboard lie in my kitchen and pictures, decorations and a huge mirror as well as my roommates storage bins lying all over my house. It looks ridiculous. She is moving out soon and I can put the bed in her old room, etc, etc...Just gotta wait 2 more weeks! They have also been "testing" the fire alarm in the building and it goes off randomly and the shrill alarm plays for up to an hour at a time. Awesome! Soon ye olde condo will be back to normal...hopefully.

Reality Television Heartthrob of the Year!

All who know me know that I love my reality TV shows. The one that I am REALLY into right now is American Idol. I have realized just recently that I have fallen in love with one of the contestants(and yes I am aware that he is gay but that doesn't mean I still can't love him). He is AMAZING, I am not sure what he does but every time he steps on that stage I get goosebumps all over and I am not the type to be a screaming, giggling groupie. I am trying to study but can't seem to stop watching him sing "Ring of Fire" on You Tube repeatedly. I recommend you watch it immediately and then you will know what I am talking about:)

Even Simon loves him! Oh Adam Lambert...you are so incredibly talented and original, not to mention easy on the eyes. If I was a man I would definitely have a "man crush" on you:)

Seth's New Flick

So we went to "Observe and Report" last night and now I feel that I indeed did observe it and now I am going to report. I have one word for the movie....WEIRD! It was going along just fine, like a regular Seth Rogan movie, when all of a sudden it got absolutely crazy and whacked. He is a mall security guy....well head of mall security to be exact. He is bipolar, falls in love with the cosmetics girl in the mall(Anna Farris), stops taking his pills and proceeds to get really loopy. He and his fellow mall cop(Michael Pena who is absolutely hilarious!!)are beating up kids and cops, shooting up with heroin, snorting cocaine, smoking weed(well no surprise there really).Then Seth starts threatening the cinnamon bun man and getting his own butt whooped by an entire police squad. His rival is Ray Liotta who is a detective and is trying to take over his terrain at the mall when a pervert begins flashing women in the parking lot. In an attempt to get back at Ray and show what he is made of, Seth quits at the mall and tries out for the police force where he does not get accepted because he fails his psychological evaluation. It was all so bizarre that it was hard not to laugh at it. I am more of a fan of "Knocked Up" and "40 Year Old Virgin" still I would have to say. All in all, I love Seth but I can't say I loved this movie nor can I say that I liked the 10 minute scene at the end of the "flasher" running naked through the mall although it was very laughable. The end shocks as Seth blows out the "flashers" brains but then he gets up and is alive. We kept giving each other strange looks and half laughs through the duration. My point...if you want to sit through an hour of asking the person you are with "What the hell is going on here????" then definitely go see it!;) xoxo

Thought of the Day

As I sit here studying and drinking my large double double a thought came to me about my favorite coffee. If you are a Canadian you will most certainly know about Tim Hortons. It is THE place for a cup of joe in our country. The line ups are usually out the door and if you choose drive thru you can expect to wait even longer. The coffee there is highly addictive, no other coffee seems to cut it for me or for most of my friends. It is kind of "the starbucks of saskatchewan";)Anyway, now that you have a little bit of background I want to rant a little. There is an annual contest at Tim's called "Roll Up the Rim"...now I am not angry because of the fact that I have NEVER won anything in all my coffee's there but I am a little perturbed by how the contest is played. You get a paper cup and roll the actual rim up where it says "Please Play Again".(or this is what all of mine say anyway) They give you a coffee in a glass cup and then give you a paper cup so that you can look at the rim and then it is thrown in the garbage. I keep thinking of all the waste that this is creating, millions of cups are not even being used but just tossed after the dreaded "please play again". I realize maybe people find it fun and the highlight of their day to physically roll a rim up on an enormous paper cup but come on....couldn't they just give us a little slip of paper , maybe a scratch and win or even a miniature cup where less paper and cardboard is being used??? I find it strange that in this day and age where everyone is "going green" that Tim's would create all of this waste. McDonalds even makes all of their stuff out of recycled materials and it is well...McDonalds.
