Its been awhile...

Ok so its been a long time since I've been on the blog, and I found some very interesting things on here. I also did not know that Dean was married , or getting married or whatever that post was... WOW. Anyway, Lyndsay I can't believe you have the chance to go and see Madonna, I am so envious its ridiculous.
There isn't much going on in my life, found out there are 2 weddings in the family (not my sisters) this summer in PEI so I'll be home then, not 100% on the dates yet. I'm going crazy homesick for PEI right now I can't stand this city, or the people in it...grrr... thats me venting sorry. I'm just bitter cause I'm not going to the Junos!! hahaha yea right. Well ladies sorry I don't have much to say or much of anything interesting going on, same ole same ole

P.

Madonna concert!!!!

I'm slowly turing this blog into Madonna's fan club. :) Tickets go on sale April 8th and her concert is June 21st!!!! It's going to be stressful trying to get tickets because we have 2 papers due April 7th so it'll be hard to be in line. We're working on a plan for line shifts. Hopefully I can get my papers finished earlier. This is pretty good incentive. I hope it's warm next weekend...we'll need to camp out.

Watching Compass

And what should I see? I'm sure Kendra saw the same thing. Anyway Dean Constable has declared his candicy for the new Island NDP leader. Intiguing huh?

Heading to the Gala

Hello All,

I haven't been writing on the blog, because there's been nothing going on in my life at all. I pretty much work, watch tv with my bro and hang out with Pegs and Hugh a bit. C'est tout. On the upside, I had a review here at work the other day and they didn't even realize that my contract was only for 6 months, so I'll be employed for at least the next year, which is nice. I've started looking for new apartments since I'll be roommateless come June when Bren either moves home or moves in with Jeff. This Saturday I'm going to the Ottawa Gala (www.ottawagala.com) According to the website it's a 'who's who of young professionals in Ottawa. The sister of one of the girls I work with is the co-chair and she got me a free VIP ticket, so free drinks for me :) There will be a few other people from work there. If nothing else, it's an excuse to get dressed up and hopefully meet some new people. That's all for me. Lynds, congrats again about the job and Madonna. CT, hope you get your drink on this weekend. Miss you all lots. I'm out.

Lyndsay's Blog

My goodness ladies, does no one but Lyndsay have anything interesting going on in their life? I really didn't do much on my March Break. Watched tv, cleaned my apartment, skated and went to Moncton. I'm glad Lynn (Megan's friend from Cape Breton) will be back this weekend and I'm hoping to go out or do something. It's time I got my drink on. So I got my phone line so ladies you'll be hearing from me and you're welcome to call me anytime day or night. Of course day I won't be there as I'm usually working, and night for the month of April I will be at the rink until 9 pm most nights. Hey at least I'm keeping busy. I'm so happy Lynds, Marla, Peggy and MC will be home for a couple of weeks in August. And Amanda is home then too I think. We'll have some good times for sure. All right ladies gotta go get ready for Gray's anatomy and make my lunch for tomorrow. Love yas lots,
CT

Like a prayer....

Just after I posted on the blog Friday night I heard the news....Madonna is coming to Montreal this summer!!!!!!!!!! Jane and I heard it on the radio at the same time. The date is going to be announced this week. I think tickets will be super hard to get. I can't imagine going to see her. It would be crazy.
What is everyone else up to?? It's starting to seem more like Spring here everyday. Unfortunately I'm stuck inside writing papers. rrr.
Love Lynds

Even better news...

Hi again...
Yesterday I met the head nurse from the transplant unit for an interview. The interview went well and I now for sure have the job. We were discussing start and end dates so I thought I'd ask about finishing earlier in August. To my surprise, she was totally willing to have me finish as early as Aug. 10th!!! She is from Nova Scotia and said she knows how hard it is being so far away from home. I offered to help out Labour Day weekend because I'll have to be back for school then anyway. I am so excited!!! I get to be home for 2 weeks at the end of August...see you girls, go to Peake's, go to the beach and all the other fun PEI summer stuff. Carolyn and I have discussed some plans already - mainly involving Nalgene bottles and daytime Myron's. I'll also get to see my aunt and cousins from Calgary because they are coming to PEI then too. I realized that it will be my parent's 35th wedding anniversary this year too. So my time at home will be jam-packed with activities. The only thing that could possibly make me more excited about summer is if Madonna comes here!! There's a rumour that she's going to have a concert here in July. Jane and I are prepared to sleepover in line for tickets. I'll keep you posted.
Miss you lots.

Love, Lynds

Ps - I can't post any pics of Chloe's party because I forgot she ate the USB cord for my camera. (I'm sure you're all very disappointed.) Unfortunately it's a weird size USB cord that I can't find anywhere.

Summer plans!

Hi girls,
Did everyone celebrate St. Paddy's Day in full force??? I went out Friday night with some friends and had to wait 1.5 hrs in line in the freezing cold! Luckily it didn't take long to get warmed up with drinks. One woman at the bar was so drunk she actually took her top off...bra included!!
I just got some good/bad news. I got a summer externship position with a McGill hospital!! I'll be at the Royal Victoria Hospital on the transplant unit. I'm very excited because there aren't many positions available. I will be paired with a nurse preceptor, work all his/her shifts and he/she will supervise me with my assigned patients. It will be great to get the experience. Also, most units accept externs with the intention of hiring them when they graduate...so it's a nice way to get into the hospital.
Obviously the bad part is that this will be my first summer away from PEI. Sorry CT!!! I'm already going in withdrawal just thinking about it. I can feel an Asthma attack coming on from the smog! :) (Luckily I have an air conditioner.) I was told there may be a possibility of finishing a week earlier in August but I have to wait and discuss this with the head nurse. I'm trying to plan a trip home just after Easter before my May clinical rotation starts. CT - I hope you're ready...we'll have to pretend it's summer. :)
My only other news is that my baby has her first birthday today. They grow up so fast! I'll take pictures later with her cupcake. Yes...I'm making cupcakes to celebrate! Dogs like cupcakes.
Miss you lots.
Love, Lyndsay

Too funny!

Oh that Chris! He is a master with the computer. So what's new with everyone? I went out on the town on Saturday night with Lynn. She's a friend of Megan Livingstone's who's here subbing for the year. We went to the Gate and were the only people under 40 so then we headed to the Dublin. It was packed and there were lots of people there. Mostly sat and people watched with some guy from Montague who's in the military. Thinks he knows Jonny, small world. My ice show is this Tyhursday and afterwards I will be enjoying a little Kaluha (courtesy of MC) because my goodness I will have earned it.
Love ya ladies,
CT

How could he!

So I come home to find this picture on my desktop. Yes, this is what my husband does in his spare time just to annoy me. haha Okay, so maybe I've been obsessing about Ace a bit too much....

Has anyone else noticed?

Hello all,

I don't really have any news or anything. I chopped off my hair today, and that's about the most exciting thing that's happened up here in awhile. I just wanted to see if anyone else who's been watching Idol has noticed the resemblance between Ace Young and PEI's own Michael Smith, Inn Chef...let me know what you think. MC

Finally!

Woo hoo. Finally some blog action. I check this every so often hoping to read some exciting, funny, or scadalous tid bits, but alas, no such luck until now. Michelle and CT, it was great to hear you are both still alive and well. As for me, I am just kicking back in Calgary with not too much to do... I really shouldn't be posting right now because I have absolutely nothing exciting to say! haha Work is amasing- I get free clothes as gifts from designers and I get to deal with companies in Italy, Paris, Holland, and Germany... yep, can't complain. Plus, I am working independantly as a jewelry distributor for Instyle Now, so with some luck I will be making some big bucks soon! Other than that, my life is pretty boring so I guess I'll be wrapping this post up soon. Carolyn, I really wish you lived here- I need someone to hit the town with! Amanda, when are you coming to see me again? I miss you! Oh, Michelle- every time I watch The Bachelor I can't help thinking about how much you look like Moana!! Has anyone else noticed this? Oh, and words about American Idol- I think Ace is one beautiful, sexy man... Well, that's it for me... Hope to see more blogging action from you all to get some updates on everyone's lives.

Marla

All right, first off I must apologize to Michelle for the fact that I totally dissed her on MSN twice. Can't be helped, my parents were here helping me hang pics in my apt. I finally got a couple of posters at Micheals and have them up now. So I know I haven't been around to talk to much but as you can imagine this has been my absolutely insanse season. Last weekend I spent at home in forever and even then I was still at the rink Saturday and Sunday but I got to sleep in my own bed at least. Foxy was here for a visit last week and we got to watch some Olympics and American Idol. So last weekend Saturday night my staff had a thing at the Dublin for the who wants to be a thousandaire trivia. I headed up there around 7ish. Of course who gets called up to the stage but moi. Luckily one of the other teachers and I had been drinking Smirnoff Ice with grenadine and I had already finished my second. Thus, I was 'smart'. My questions were pretty easy to start off. I.e. which of the following is a contraceptive, jumping up and down after sex, drinking a coke after, something else, or none of the above. Got that one pretty fast. Closest to the sun, pot makes you. I won 2 beer, 2 beer glasses and a basket of wings. I lost on the who is Glass Tiger touring with question . Oh well. Most of the staff left around 11 but one other teacher and I stayed and who should arrive but Jeff and Howie. Oh my boys! Just dance then went to China Garden but still fun. This weekend I would love to go to the ECMA's but I'm heading to Ktown for a comp. Friday at 5 and should be home Sunday by 3. Just in time to coach powerskating at 4:30. Poor Ryan will have to do everything, I'll be lucky to drag myself around the ice. But in the evening I am thinking about going to Matt Mayes at Myrons I think it will be good. SO ladies that's about it for me. Yesterday we did off ice with the girls and on the way there I just had to find time to stop at Wal-mart and pick me up a little RENT! Woo hoo! I haven't had a chance to watch the whole way through yet because I'm addicted to the Olympics but I will soon. Love you all and miss you all CT

It's been awhile...

Hi ladies,

I feel bad for our poor neglected blog. I do check it, but never seem to post anything. Could be because there's not much going on that any of you would probably want to hear about. Work's going really well. I'm super busy, which I'm definitely not used to. I really like everyone I work with, and I'm in charge of a couple of projects, which is cool. I'm at work right now and since it's the end of a very busy day, I thought I'd take a little break and say hello.

What news can I share with you? The Lynds was here to visit on the weekend. We had a fun, but very uneventful few days. Friday night we had some drinks and played a game with Peggy, Bren and MJ. Saturday afternoon me, Lynds, Bren, MJ, Pegs, Hugh and MJ's bro Matt all went bowling. We split up the guys and the girls and had a great time. Afterwards, the foursome from my house went to the Works for burgers for dinner and Lynds and I headed out on the town to the Honest Lawyer. By the time we got down there and got in, we were only there for a bit over an hour, but it was fun. Lots of people watching. Sunday we didn't leave the house and just watched a bunch of movies, made brownies and watched Grey's Anatomy and Lynds went home yesterday.

After almost 4 weeks working at the hospital, I finally ran into Angus. I figured I was bound to sooner or later. CHEO is connected to the med school and the other hospital. I've seen a lot of med students over here in the last few days, so I figured he was around somewhere. I saw him today after lunch on my way out of the cafeteria. had a nice little chat. He's looking pretty good. Apparently we're going to have lunch when he finishes this block of classes. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not holding my breath. He's bailed on me many times before. While I was telling one of my co-workers about him, I had a memory pop into my head of one of the dress-up nights at the Barn...or was it Halloween...I can't even remember and I suddenly remembered I kissed him once. Amazing that something that was so monumental to me at the time totally slipped my mind.

Speaking of memories that were locked away, another one popped into my head the other day. I'm pleased to say I got a shout out on our copy-cat bog www.peiiswhere.blogspot.com I was reading an entry of John Green's the other day that mentioned me. They're back to re-living high school and telling mean stories about people. John mentioned when Nathaniel Mitchell pantsed Dean Constable in grade 10 gym class and everything came down. John remembered that I'd been there to witness the wonderful event. Thankfully I'd forgotten all about it, however the image keeps popping back into my head now. Eww.

I think that's about it for me. It's pretty long, so I hope I inspire the rest of you to post, or at least comment. I won't have any more news for awhile. I can't remember why, but Pegs can't do anything all weekend, so I'll have a hot date with my couch. Woo hoo!!!!! CT, I'm still waiting to hear about your shenannigans with your staff on the weekend. Pam and KB, haven't heard from you in a bit either. Hope you're all well. Miss you lots.

Love,
MC

Help our blog please!!

Please help! Our blog is having extreme difficulties being interesting. Either the blog is dull or we are, and girls I'm sorry but I'm going to vote for us. So you guys all need to take turns coming to visit me. Otherwise by the time anyone gets home I will have completely forgotten how to talk to people my own age. When I speak now I stop mid-way through sentences and let the person I'm talking to finish them to ensure they understand. I did this to a 13 year old yesterday and to a 15 year old today. Damn primary teacher. So tomorrow my dad turns 60, insanity huh? What else, parent teacher interviews. Just waiting for Foxy to come over so we can watch the two man luge. What an event! Hope you are all doing well and I hope you are all enjoying this winter to the fullest.

Alone in C-town - Take 1

Well this morning I got up and got myself dressed while singing All by Myself by Celine Dion. I believe this is the soundtrack to my life :(. Had some breakfast, alone, drove to work, you guessed it, alone. Got to work and within 10 minutes I was joined by 21 eager beavers and realized that I might not be entirely alone in C-town. So anyway after work I was doing some photocopying and talking to one of the other grade 2 teachers when she was like oh I found you a man. I was like what, I do remember one day her and one of the other teachers were joking about finding me a man but I didnt think they were serious. So anyway he's apparently a contractor, looking to settle down. Didn't get into details but I gave her my ok to go ahead with it I mean at this point what do I have to lose. I mean as appealing as old maidenhood and hundreds of cats is, I'm thinking I should go for it. I have one small fear. Or 10. I will now make one of my ever popular lists.
1. He is a total geek
2. He is a bad dresser
3. I have made out with one or more of his friends.
4. I remember him from the smoking doors at Colonel Gray
5. He is massive, we all know how that scares me.
Well ladies, that's about it. Guess what! My first weekend all alone with no friends to hang out with, except watching Neil and Danny play poker, has plans already. Megan just told me she's coming over this weekend so we're going to go out to eat tomorrow evening. Perhaps I'm going to make it after all.
