Late Night Posting

Okay this is a typical thing for me staying up late at night during the months of March and April. I think it has something to with the warmer weather on the way (which by the way we are getting once again, but who knows what next week will have in-store. It's really amazing how quickly I have gotten back into some old routines since coming home from Sweden nearly 10 months ago. But some how I remain forever changed by it.

So what is new, well major drama in the laundry! Yesterday I was stuck with two "Barely Blooming 18's" (Ace of Base reference!!). Well one made the mistake of doing a major no-no and I put a little birdie into one of the supervisior's ear so hopefully in a way she gets repremanded for it or better yet fired for it. This particular girl, we think will end up with either a bad case of VD or pregnant within the next six months. Oh well what do I care anyways. Starting in May I am going to be working somewhat full-time elsewhere, that elsewhere is the place that I was working at Christmas when I needed some extra money, it just also happens to be the place that my mom has worked at for the last 12 years. Anyways, it shocked them the first time that I came to work there, ummmm maybe because I actually worked!! Well needless to say there is only one person that knows that I am coming back for the summer, and she is going to be waiting with popcorn in hand to watch the drama unfold. Working with women can be the shits sometimes. Working with men is much better, none of that psychological bullcrap going on.

Max is in Boston this weekend, and so is Sarunas! Lucky ducks! I have always wanted to go to Boston, afterall the Red Socks are finally champs after some 80 years, and well the Boston Tea Party!! I got an e-mail from Max the other day, he got there safe and sound, but the bus left him at the border, I can only imagine what stories he will have to tell me about this one. If the border guards are anything like the ones they have here, he will have enough to finish off the travel book that we have both discussed writing over the years.

Speaking of writing, I am seriously considering putting pen to paper and writing a little ditty about the whole story of the last 3 years of my life, hell I could have written a whole book about my 5 years of working in a country grocery store. Not to mention that there's a whole story about the wedding planning that is going to be taking place in the next year.

Max and I have set a tentative date of getting married in Sweden for Midsommar 2006. That is if Max's parents are ok with the idea. Then my mother (and this is going to be a serious pain in the ass for the next year) is also insisting that we have something here in Canada because that way we will get lots of gifts! As if! I seriously don't think so! I remember when I was younger and my mom told me that I was being too greedy at Christmas time. Well to me this is the same thing. Besides my family totally sucks anyways. My father's side is so bloody redneck that I would embarassed to be seen in public with them or even the though of associating with them makes my skin crawl. And well my mother's side isn't toooooo bad, except my grandfather, he works at a store in Red Deer and will virtually tell you my life story if you tell him that you know me. I won't even get started on the Rodeo Queen and the Drag Queen. That's right I am rather normal in all this!

And in all this kaos of home life, school and work, I am still longing for one thing and that is my little life that I had carved out for myself in Sweden. I can seriously say that I loved every minute of it (ok there was those two weeks in January! But who could blame me, I could have gotten another weeks worth of skiing done!). I liked that Max was there beside me every night, on his side of the bed! I loved the quiet of the countryside, not that it's not quiet here it just that there is a sense of unease here because there is a drug house right across from us and well there are some interesting things that happen at about 3 in the morning. I guess the only things that I love here is my car because at least if I wanted to leave the house I didn't have to have an excuse. I would have to some how smuggle my dog over there, because I missed the little booger so much. And well my mom because the thing is when she came to stay for the month that she did her cooking was so good that I am sure that Erland and Beata would have kept her there to cook!

Enough reminicing, I must get off to bed and dream about how I am going to learn everything that there is learn to do on Excel.

Getting tired of school!

Okay I think that I just finished writing my worst ever paper since an anthropology class I took years ago. It literally took every once of effort I could muster to write the stupid thing and to top it all off I didn't meet the length requirement. Which for me is a shock because I can blab on about anything!!!

Work is going well because I haven't been there in about a week, ha ha ha. But I am only going to be there for about another month and then I am going to switch to one day a week because I was asked by my mom's boss if I was interested in helping out for the summer for the same amount I was making at the hopital! Ah yeah! This means I can park my car for the summer and take my bike, after all gas here is almost $1.00/litre.

Back on the topic of school real quick, if I can get my shit together I can graduate in the spring of 2006. Which means something else... planning for a wedding. Max and I have pretty much decided that we should tie the knot, hopefully sometime in June 2006. Max still has to talk to his parents (surprise surprise!) So I should know when and where we are getting married.

So that is it from me, will update soon!
