Allo Paris

Well ladies, the Lynds and I finally booked our tickets to Europe. PS The Lynds and I are going to Europe! It's kind of funny really considering I hadn't really thought of going in about a month or so and now I already have my plane ticket. It all started when I got back from Ottawa. No cuties on the plane this time :( So then Lynds came over Monday night and asked if Peggy and I were still planning on going. I said no and she said did you want to come with me? And that's that we are now going on an 18 day tour of Europe which I think will be quite fun. The Lynds also picked me up at lunch time yesterday and we went down the road to the Tim's parking lot to eat the bagels she'd brought out. Long story short the car battery died and I was sitting in a car in the pourring rain having a fit because my students were presently in the class room unsupervised. By the time I got back to the school some of the kids had themselves convinced I'd been in a car accident. They understood when I explained though and were actually pretty good for the afternoon. That's about all for me to report. I will be living at the rink for this weekend as it's a big National Competition. Who knows maybe I'll meet a really hot straight figure skater... Also the Easter season has come and gone and although I didn't see much of the Easter Bunny I did get strange word from a chicken yesterday.

And I got another one!

Ok so I got another email from Darrel...um excuse me I mean Darrin! This is too funny for my own good. Just a Happy Easter wish h/w still worth a laugh. This is email #5 I believe or more. Anyways at one point it was the whole "if your not busy after my show..." now its "Hello Pam and how are you..." WEIRD! I laughed and I wrote him back finally (I haven't seen him since the summer) and told him about how excited my cousin was to see him and the band....this comment was followed by me stating how much I know he loves to hear that the ladies love thier band! ahhaha anyways I thought that was funny and that I should share it with you!I'm stuyding for a midterm right now, finished painting my room back to being white :( no more foxy pink and watching my new little fishes! They are so cute. I will take a picture and show them soon....(have to get some rocks first)! Talk to you later hope the bunny found you

Love
Pam

Ahhhh 

Hugh's form is unbeatable 

The Pegster showing us how it's done 

Pam and I toasting the rest of you 

Michelle is drunk!

Oh my God! Actually Michelle keeps telling me t hat I'm drunk but funny enough I can still type better than her. Well we had a very entertaining evening. It started when Jamie Coady said he would like to come out with us. (To be referred to as JC from this point on) He came over to Michelle's place (after missing the bus) and we drank for awhile. It was fun discussing home. Ofcourse the closure ofMyrons was way upo on the list. So then we headed down to the dirty lawyer to meet Emily andh er friends. It was actually a lot of fun, and keeping the me and Lydnsay tradition alive I managed to show them how a Maritijme girl drinks. It was a lot of fun I must say and this time I wasn't nearly as drunk as the last time Iwas out inOttawa. That's about it from our end. Michelle aND i have had some fun drinking and shopping and I must say that her roomate hearts me. I love vyou all and Ihope that you all had as good of an Easter weekend as I did. Of course I will be seeing the Lynds the day after tomorrow or technically tomjorrow what the fuck Michelle. And I anticipatesome great conversationt with perhaps a little less liquor. I love you all and peace out as I must put drunk Micherlle to bed now.

The Best of Times & The Worst of Times...

well I want to know who this "TT" person is that you got the info. from!? haha It is an end of an era and I will truely miss Myrons thinking back when we use to get in when we were only 18 !
Well it was great to go back home and have one last visit and see one last fight outside! Oh well....can't wait to see what the new one looks like. Had a great and funny time at China Garden afterwards with Carolyn and the lads! Too funny....anyways just thought I would drop a line give my two cents worth on what i thought of this discussion!
Hope Ontario is having fun with you ladies there

RIP Myron's

Well, to everyone from the Island who reads the blog I would like to announce that as of March 24, 2005 Myron's Restaurant and Bar is no more. Let us take a moment to remember the place we all knew and loved...

An unnamed source, we'll call him TT, was dining at said establishment at lunch on the 24th, when the Chief of Police came in, asked everyone to leave, shut it down and locked the doors.

Hard to believe that none of us will every darken Myron's doors ever again. I think I feel a tear.

So, we just wanted to let everyone know the latest. Let me know what you think.

MC and CT

Can't believe it

wow...I can't believe that morons is closing for a while...ya know I have had a real love/hate relationship with that place, love it when I'm there but hate the thought of going...I'm a little out of date with the news these days, I have been having some problems with my computer. Good to hear that you're going to be home for Easter Lynds, but I unfortunately will be working the entire weekend. Happy Easter to me. Hope that you're having a great time in Ottawa CT and MC, have some drinks for me and do lots of shopping. Nothing real new or exciting to report from me. Hope everyone is doing well.
Kendra

I can't believe the rumors are true...

Apparently Moron's has come into some pretty serious financial trouble. Word on the street is that my cousin's representing people in a suit against Myron's for money they're owed. It is very sad. I was reading a travel guide on the Maritimes awhile ago, and when they described the Charlottetown bar scene, they mentioned it was dominated by Myron's. It's funny because when I went out with my dad and Jonathan on Friday night, we were discussing the demise of Myron's, and when I told CT about it yesterday she didn't believe me. I also feel a tear sliding down my cheek in mourning. Charlottetown will not be the same. That's it for me. Nothing exciting to report from my weekend. CT will be here in 3 more sleeps and BC a month from Wednesday. Can't wait.

Love, MC

Sob sob

I can't believe Myron's is closing!! Yes I do enjoy Peake's more but think of all the Myron's memories! Why would they sell it and give up their winter-bar monopoly. Kendra and Pam will you be home this weekend?? Darc and I found cheap tickets so we're going home for Easter. Yippee! Our families were getting sad that we weren't going to be home until summer. I'll be home from this Friday to next Wednesday. I'm very excited to have a break from school although I do have to write a big paper while I'm home. :( Have fun in Otown Carolyn! Can't wait to see all your purchases when you get back. Perhaps we could go for some Margaritas on Monday. mmm.
Love, Lyndsay

The End of Good Times

Literally! You know 'good times at Myrons.' Ladies Myrons is officially closing the end of the month. That's what my cab driver told me last night and makes sense as the place really wasn't very busy the past few times I've been there. PS The cab was called for us by a 10 year old child working the door at China Garden. Anyway according to my cab driver the people who own the Liquor Dome have bought Myrons and are closing it the end of the month. They're going to shut down for 3 months to do renovations and make the downstairs a restaurant, the main floor the bar and the top floor a private functions place. Don't really know how different that is from the way it is now but still ladies it is the end of an era. Of course as I said to the cab driver, the end of the month I really won't care because Peake's opens and then I won't even think about Myrons again. But you know as Pam and I went on the upstairs dance floor with all those 15 year olds last night it took me back to when we were young and bustin' a move on that very same dance floor. (tear) But at least Peake's is open. Foxy you should try and get some time off for Canada Day, it looks like we're all going to be here, possibly Pam too. It could be so much fun, I only told Pam how much fun it was about 15 times last night. That's it for me ladies hope you're all having a great weekend and Michelle and Peggy I will be seeing yas soon.

Didn't quite have the Luck of the Irish today

Today started out great, minus the not hearing back from hot Whistler guy that I was suppose to do the Grouse Grind with yesterday. Yeah it sounds dirty, but it is just a hike up Grouse Mountain. It is approx. 2.9 kms and takes the average person about 1.5hrs to do. The guy I was suppose to meet (from Lavalife, you guessed it) is training for a triathlon in July, that would have been a sight to see! He ended up getting called into work, and wanted to hang out today. He didn't call (boo hoo).
Went out to lunch with my cousin and her friend, got it paid for by their company (sweet). Did some shopping, and bought a stellar pair of green shoes (thought I would celebrate St.Paddy's Day that way). Then trugged to work!
Started of fine, until I went to get two steins/sleeves (long glasses) of beer for one of my tables........... Amanda the Clutz dropped the two big glasses as soon as she lifted them out of the fridge! They made such a loud noise the WHOLE restaurant looked at me. The worst part was I had to remove all the steins and wash them then replace them! I can laugh at it now, although I find little humour in it what so ever.
I am going out tomorrow night with Monique, so I am sure I will have some stories to tell! Then I have a lunch date on Sat. with another lad from Lavalife. I just think there are so many hot guys out here! Not saying that they are all perfect, most of them are prob. jerks. However it is great to look and dream..........

My attempt at a CT-worthy story

Again...I'm in the middle of studying for a damn test. And this time it's a final exam because it's a condensed course. I was kind of pretending that it was a midterm and not trying to stress until I woke up Sunday morning hungover. That's when Darcy asked how much the test was worth and I heard myself say out loud "70%"!!! That's when I got scared. It didn't help that he said "then why did you go out?" Oops. Oh well it was fun. Plus the liquor helped take the edge off my back pain (I'll get to that later). Saturday night there was a St. Patrick's Day party at Thompson house (grad house/bar) which is really close to us. So Darcy, me, Matt, Julie, Jane, Jeff (Jane's bf) decided to go. They all came over here before for a little predrinking :) and snacks. I decided to be cute and have green themed foods (thank God I didn't get sick later!) such as guacomole, tostitos lime flavour (I recommend), mint oreo cookies, limes, and green candies (not exactly the most appetizing combo of foods but it looked festive.) Ok there was also pita, hummus, pretzels and dip...everything can't be green. Although I did think of using some green food dye but decided against it. I should also mention that we were all dressed in bright green. This is something that became much funnier when we arrived at Thompson house to find no one else in green. Jane, Julie and I were also wearing Shamrock crowns...I will put a pic on here when I get them from Julie. The night went by pretty fast...thanks to my good old friend raspberry twist vodka. haha.
And now for my back incident. Now I pride myself on being quite flexible but Thursday night this worked against me. Darcy was sitting on a chair and I came up behind him (I was actually pretending to strangle him). Then he decided to pull me over his shoulder...except that instead of just part of my body coming over....somehow my whole body flipped over the chair and I landed on my back. Would have been kind of cool if it didn't hurt so much. So I've become best friends with my heating pad and some muscle relaxants (don't worry didn't mix them with the liquor). It's feeling better but not back to normal. Wish I knew someone with a hot tub!

Ok that is all my excitement. Except that it is actually starting to feel like Spring here and I think a pigeon is making our balcony his home.
Love, Lyndsay

My Near Death Experience

This is a good one. So, Trev got home last night at 4:00am, which is fine. Not sure if he was working or partying, but judging from the number of times I heard him bumping into the box of beer bottles in the kitchen, I'd say he was partying. I could hear him bumping and clanging around in the kitchen, and he was only in there for a couple minutes, so I figured he just got a drink and went to bed.

Around 6:00am I woke up to the smell of burning. I could also hear noises coming from the kitchen so I thought maybe Trev hadn't gone to sleep yet and was up again cooking. The noises continued, along with the burning smell...it smelled like when you turn on the oven really high and leave it on with nothing in it...and when the sounds and smell didn't stop at all, I decided to get up and check out the scene in the kitchen.

This is what I saw...a pot with 2 hot dogs in it, thick black burned on stuff stuck to the bottom of the pot and the burner up on maximum. The sounds was the popping and crackling of the hot dogs on the bottom of the pot. Only a matter of time before the mess burst into flames. My hypothesis as to what happened is this...he got home, put some hot dogs in a pot of water to boil at 4:00 when he got home, went in his room and forgot about them and/or fell asleep. It must have taken a couple hours before the water all evaporated and the dogs started to burn. I could have killed him.

Now, I ignored when he left the oven on all night, or the other two times he left burners on overnight with nothing on them, but this one can't be ignored. I would not have enjoyed being woken up by the fire alarm, and the smokiness was getting near that point when I woke up and turned on the fan. I don't know how his g/f can handle it. Anyway, when I get home, Trev and I have to have a little talk and perhaps make a rule that he's not allowed to use the stove/oven after midnight.

As for the rest of the weekend, Saturday afternoon Pegs, Hugh, Shannon and I went bowling, then had dinner, drank at my place and went to the Honest Lawyer. It's a cool bar. There are all kinds of video games, and a mini bowling alley. We were supposed to meet Jamie and his friends there and they finally arrived about an hour and a half after planned. Apparently the cab drivers had gone on strike. So we only hung out with them for about 10 minutes before we left. Yesterday Hugh made a turkey dinner and we were joined by Peggy's brother and sister-in-law who's about ready to pop with their baby. She's due on Thursday. So, that was it. No real plans for the week and my dad's going to be here this weekend, so I'd say it'll be pretty low key.

This is getting to be really long, so I'll end it here and try to sctually do some work here today. That'll be something different. Hope you all had good weekends.

Love, MC

in the crack

I had a boring weekend (well for me anyway). I didn't have any shifts so I decided to "detox" and tell my body I still love it. Rented some movies and baked a cake on Friday night. Sat. I went to my cousins' baseball practice and sat in the nice sunshine (sorry to make you jealous). Then on Saturday night I prepared for a night of sitting on my be-hind. It lasted one hour and I was pacing the floors. Thank heavens for lava life and one of the guys called me for drinks. We went to The Cambie. It is a bar in a hostel. I felt like I was back in Oz. I was so happy, and Jonny (the guy from lava) was quite goodlooking! Michelle I can't wait to take you to The Cambie. Had a couple of drinks (they have Keiths on tap). There was one guy there with pants on so low that they kept sliding down and his crack was right there! For all to see! I tried to take a butter knife and drop it in, but he turned just as I was over it. That sucked as Jonny was going to give me 5$. Ah well it was funny while it lasted. Then Jonny and his roomate walked me to my bus stop and we waited for my bus. Nice blokes! Jonny is abit winey (all Jonnys are I suppose hehehe).
Today I did some housecleaning as I had a Frappachino Saturday and my stomach exploded! No going for a hike for me! The weather was beautiful. I was raking leaves in shorts and a t-shirt (again sorry to make you jealous). Ya gotta get out here everyone!
Hope you all had great weekends! Amanda

Come on people, someone must have an exciting life!

All right ladies, come on! I desperately need to live vicariously through one of you. I know I know, you're saying but Carolyn you're the one who has crazy nights and has stories for us. Nope, let me tell you about my weekend. Friday as I mentioned I spent the entire evening doing Canskate report cards and watching TGIF. I finally finished the report cards a little after 12. Saturday I went to the rink until 12, coldest day ever. Came home had a shower and got into bed to try and get warm and stayed there until about 3 o'clock when I went to get groceries and rent a movie. Rented First Daughter and watched it with my mom. This morning I went to the rink at 10:30 and got home about 30 minutes ago. Good news, lots of passes and this is my last week until Spring School. And I love spring school so I'm in the home stretch now. So that's it, nothing exciting at all. This Friday marks the beginning of my March Break. Pam you should so come over and Kendra is also coming home although I don't think she's coming until Sunday. Still we could go out this weekend, it would be a lot of fun. So let me hear what you guys did this weekend!!
CT

not much different

I haven't lost interest in Blog I just feel that every time I'm on here all I do is complain about something! Anyways, I'm thinking about going home to PEI this weekend, I just really need to get away from here and clear my head....So thats about all that is new with me. Been watching a lot of the curling, working, going to school....you know boring life! oh well. Sean and I are talking about going to Toronto at the end of July first of Aug. so that should be fun. Well thats it for me...chow

P.

Lonesome in the library

Don't worry girlies- it will all be better when we get out of these damn winter blues! Well, most of you are probably doing a lot better than me right now! Here it is on Friday night- I am getting ready to spend the rest of my night studying... how pathetic. Even if I was to get an offer to go anywhere I am too much of a nerd to say yes because I know that next week at school will be insane. Also, I have to go to a birthday party tomorrow night for someone that I barely know. So I say "boo weekends!" I can't wait until summer! Especially when Peake's opens! So, try and have a good weekend and I will hopefully have an interesting posting if I go out tomorrow (mind you, I am praying for a storm... yes, so I can stay home and study... and here we go again with my boring life!!) For now, I dream of sunshine, cute flip flops and itty bitty tank tops, and of course, ice cream.... Marla :)

Lonesome in C-town

I'm a 24 year old brunette who's always up for some fun and enjoys long walks on the beach. Oops that was meant for Lava Life not the blog ;) Joking, not at that stage yet. Well Michelle I haven't lost interest in the blog I check it every day after the kids leave for home but I don't bother writing because my life is crap. Not really it's just very boring right now for me. Last weekend was insane. I spent the entire weekend at Pownal arena except Saturday morning when I was at Simmons. It was awesome at the end of the day we brought in the top club award, I had kids win 4 events and none of my kids did worse than 6th which was aweosme. Just made for a really long weekend and I didn't feel at all like I had a break. Then this week went by pretty fast but by this afternoon I was fried so if you had driven by my class room at 2:15 you would have seen 25 darlings, including myself, plastered to the window. We were watching a movie when one kids was over by the curtain and saw an eagle flying over the school. She told me and I must be honest I didn't believe her. She took me over and sure enough there it was and it was gorgeous so we watched it for a good 5 minutes. That's about it, 4 more days of teaching before the March Break!! This weekend though I'm doing absolutely nothing. I have Canskate report cards going hoe tomorrow so I need to get those done and sometime this weekend I'd like to rent Ladder 49. That's basically it. Can't wait to go visit Michelle and Peggy. I'm planning on shopping until I drop! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Love you all,
CT

No more Cali :(

Hi everyone,

Seems people have been losing interest in the blog. No one's posted lately. Just wanted to write to express my sadness because Amanda and I aren't going to Cali anymore. I actually sat down this morning and figured out exactly how much it was going to cost, and it was just way too much for either of us. Instead, we're going to see who we can recruit to come to Tofino on Vancouver Island with us for a few days instead. Still fun, still surfers, just a lot less money. It still makes me sad though. But, I guess it will give me more quality time with the people I'm going out there to see. On a side note, I'm pissed with Jets Go. Luckily my tickets weren't with them, but I did have a $235 credit with them from the flight I cancelled at Christmas that I was going to use to come home in the summer...guess I'm never going to see that again. I feel so bad for the people who are stranded with their kids in Florida or somewhere for March Break, or who were planning to go next week. I would be unbelievably pissed. Anyway, that's all I've got to say. Hope the rest of you post again soon. I miss hearing what you're all up to. Talk to you later.

MC

Back to the Land of the Living...sort of

Hello all,

Well, after a weekend of pure misery, I am back at work, and I can't say it makes me feel that much better. I have been sick since last Wednesday and it's starting to clear up slowly but surely. Started with a super sore throat and Saturday night the nasty little virus decided to move up into my face and take over my sinuses. Good times. Did nothing all weekend except watch a couple of movies while house/cat sitting. Chatted with the Lynds on the phone Saturday night for a couple hours, and that was about the most exciting thing I did besides my cross city trek to Wal-Mart. I spent all day yesterday in bed watching my soaps :) My nose miraculously stopped running around 6 last night and I slept well for the first time all week.

This weekend Shannon is coming up to visit Pegs for their March Breaks. We've got big plans for Saturday that include beer, bowling, food, more beer and a bar. Should be fun. She'll be here all next week, then my dad will be here next weekend, and CT arrives the week after that for Easter. It's going to be a jam packed few weeks and I can't wait. When CT leaves me it'll be less than a month until I leave Ottawa. Time is going so fast! I can't believe I've been here for over 2 months already. Okey doke, I should get going here. Just thought I'd let everyone know I'm still alive. Hope your weekends were more exciting than mine.

PS - I heart my ipod!

Hugging Frankenriter

Lastnight seemed like the longest night of my life. Long but good however.... It all started off when Jody (guy Michelle and I met in Byron) picked myself and Monique up for the Donavan Frankenriter concert in the city. We got 3 blocks from Mo's place and the car DIED!! Yep Gonzo!!! So we got help to push it out of the way. Some random guy came back with tools to help (along with his g-friend who looked like someone from Children of the Corn). No luck with the car, or trying to get the girl to smile :( Oh yeah Mo and I were pretty stoned, so this was all funny. We have pics to prove all this, as soon as I get them and figure out how to post pics I will show. Called a tow truck, hung out at a 7-11 for 45mins then we were on our way to the concert via Skytrain (gotta love public transit). We arrived at the venue just in time. Caught an hour of the show (missed the opener, but I saw them at the Xavier Rudd concert anyways). After the unbelieveable concert Donavan came down into the crowd, and did a meet and greet! Such a wonderful guy. We got a photo with him and he hugged me when I told him I saw him surf in Newcastle! Top notch dude.
Then we headed to a bar called The Cellar. There was some band that sounded like Sublime/Mighty Mighty Bosstones playing. Everyone was dancing like the running man but kicking their feet out further. Can't beat 'em, join em'!
Headed back towards the Skytrain station after having a fake snowball fight at the bar (bouncers included) only to find on Sundays the station closes early. We had to take a bus as close as we could to Mo's place then cab it the rest of the way $$$ is draining fast, but the times are worth it all!!!!
I heart Vancouver! Amanda

Day 8.....still no talking

Well its another day in Halifax and I'm stilling living with the bitch! Life is great! I worked last night which was fine b/c it kept me out of the house and I have a staff party which should be fun tonight. Last night everyone went down to this new gym that does stripping classes (you don't actually take your clothes off though) its just like pole dancing excerise class...anyways I didn'tget to go and then when I talk to everyone they tell me I should go next time. Well i said i would since I was the one who researched the whole thing ,....but then they tell me Lindsay was going, nice eh? So obviously I'm not going as long as she is, we still haven't said a word to each other, yet she surprisingly talks to Sean all the time in such a sweet tone (never happened like that before)....anyways I'm ready to turn myself into unit 9...I swear I'm having a break down! I hate this girl so much she is killing me! Anyways I guess I deserve what I got myself into since everyone told me not to move in with her and I still did. FUCK!

The Chad

Another day another dollar! Today was my eight hour shift at Mr's.... I decided to stay and help out after my tables were done, as Thursday nights are quite busy. And....... of course there is an alterior motive.....a boy! There is this guy named Chad and he works in the kitchen, pure heaven in a chef hat! For the last couple of weeks I have been in awe of him, and I have been wondering why. Then today as he was changing in the staff room (shirt off ladies) I saw the resemblance! Eddie Francis.... dreamy. He is alot more musclar and hides his nice side more than Eddie. He is the strong silent type. I'm very attracted to Chad. He even gave me 2$ for the bus tonight, as i forgot to make change. How sweet. I'm sure he has a girlfriend, but some "inter-office" flirting is A-ok with me :)
Peace, Amanda

Fucking HORRIBLE Day

Okay I had the worst day ever today. I was working, and first of all I really didn't want to get up this morning, but that's par for the course every day I work. The unit was absolutely insane. and my patients were crazy, well two of the five mothers I had....then to top it all off, two of my baby's wouldn't feed. I went from room to room to room, and one of my patients must have rang her buzzer 35 times today if she rang it once. I really thought I was going to go crazy, and I almost did. I got one 20 minute break in my whole shift. Some days I just feel like a really bad nurse, because I just couldn't do everything for everyone, and it makes it worse when the patients will not do anything to help themselves.....okay, I think my rant is over for the time being, but I have to go back tomorrow night and I may have another rant after that....I hate working some times...

Kendra

Sigh of relief

Yippee! I just finished my midterm osce test. WeIt was pretty stressful but went pretty well. :) My friends and I have been taking turns practicing at each other's places. Last night a bunch of girls were over here. Food has become a huge part of our studying. Luckily we've managed to make studying fun. I've been studying like crazy this week because I did nothing over break. I finally had a Spring Break and not a damn reading week. Darcy and I had such a great time with his sisters. (Darc didn't actually have a break but kind of made his own.) We did a lot of touristy things that we hadn't done yet. I think we saw a sloth at the Biodome. That was exciting. Other than school...I'm looking forward to St. Patty's day. It's huge here!! I can't wait. That weekend is already all booked. Darc and I are going to watch the Incredibles now. Miss you all!
Love, Lynds

One of these days I'll be positive

I really feel like this is my way to vent! So if you decide not to read on I totally understand its just cheaper then thearpy! I had a terrible weekend, drank on sat. night after work and something happened to me I don't know may have been that I didn't really eat all day but I was beyond, so much so they wouldn't let me into the bar downtown. Scary stuff I came home obviously! Got sick and was sick every hour on sunday till 6pm from 9am! Fun day? I think so . Not to mention that I got a lovely phone call from Lindsay on sunday morning from the bar stating she hoped that I had enough courage to say everything to hear face that I said behind her fucking back! Nice (we still haven't talked and i don't know what someone told her or who it was that told her soemthing that I said...frankly I don't care) But its not a nice living situation, needless to say Sean has been great through all of this and I can't wait to move out! Does anyone blame me? I think i'm taking a bit of a little cold but I really think its stress endouced! oh well.....sometimes I wonder what things would be like if i never moved in with her....oh yea they would be great! My mistake! Your stories on here are great ....put a smile on me old face! Talk to you later

Pam

Papers up my ass....

So, I am sitting here going back and forth between three papers that are all due within the next 48 hours. What is wrong with me? I am such a procrastinator. Is anyone else getting to the point where they could fall asleep just about anywhere that is relatively comfortable due to lack of sleep? I am beginning to forget how much I hated being in the real world working full-time... The worst part is, I gave up drinking pop and eating sweets, so I don't even have those to get me through.... I need a fix... sometimes I wish I did speed to keep me awake. haha No, I don't really wish that. Anyone have some realistic, helpful suggestions to get me through this very long night that I am about to endure? Sorry Carolyn, looks like my big ol' butt will be sitting here at my computer rather than working it at UFit tonight. Later girls, Marla P.S. Did anyone watch the Bachelorette last night? I have to admit, Jerry is one very sexy man!
