Life is Good

Well everyone...another post. Do you feel lucky? Well...do yah? Yes that shall be my only cheezy movie line rip off this post.

So lots has gone on over the last couple of weeks. First it was Halloween, which meant dressing up as "something" while at work. Last year I went as a doctor which was a hit but this year I was sick so I didn't want to put too much effort into anything. Therfore my lack of effort made me a LadyBug.

And yes that is a princess crown at my desk at work. No that wasn't for Halloween, I just like to wear it every so often and be Queen of the office. I know you're jealous.

After Halloween was little thing called the American elections. As much as I hate to admit it I followed this election more then I followed the Canadian one. Yes I voted, I watched the debates etc but we all know this election was far more important. I was elated when Obama won, mostly because I didn't think it would actually happen. So my faith in parts of man kind have been restored.

And if you wanted McCain to win...well...I'm sorry?

Some exciting news...I am the best sister on the planet. Why? Oh I'll tell you.

Now there is this little band, you may have heard of them, they call themselves New Kids on the Block. Well this man band is coming to Vancouver and damn if myself and my girl Deedee didn't want to go. However a lack of funds on our part prevented us from getting tickets. Meanwhile I work in an office all day, and office with various radios (including one on my desk) that play the same station all day long. That station...The Ocean. Now I have nothing AGAINST this radio station, I just don't listen to it, unless I have to. Which I do. 8 hours a day. 5 days a week. Damn. I may hate Celine Dion but I still end up singing along to all her songs. Because I know all the words. Because they play her. A LOT!

However the station has this VIP club where you enter in codes blah blah and earn points. Points to be used to win prizes. As something to do at work (you know, other then working and wearing a crown) I joined and had amassed a large quantity of points. They happened to have a draw of NKOTB tickets so I decided I was going to win some. That's right, for once the world was going to smile at me and give me something for free. I demanded it.

I entered that draw 105 times. 105. Those tickets were as good as ours, I kept Dee updated on how it was going. We couldn't lose.

Just one problem. We did. Yes that's right. Irony of ironies my friend Abbie won them (she only entered once, and really just wants to see the opening acts. I love her but UGH!). Now this made me angry...because me and Deedee were supposed to go see them. It was meant to be. I knew, I just knew that we were meant to go.

So what can a girl do? A girl can pull out her credit card, say charge it and buy herself and her two sisters (Serena gets to come too!) tickets to see these boys on stage. Like I said we were meant to go, and who am I to deny fate?

This Friday I don't have to work. All I have to do is catch a ferry, figure out Vancouver Transit to get to Serena's house, doll myself up and get my groove thing on. This may be hard as I'm sure I'll have to fan Dee throughout the whole day so she doesn't faint or go into hysterics. I promise to post some pictures because I have no doubt we're going to have a blast. And that Dee will cry!

Beyond that not too much else to tell. Oh wait...I got new glasses. Two new pairs of glasses. I'm as blind as ever but at least I get to look fashionable while doing so. I don't have any pictures of me in them but once I do you'll get to see them.

So I leave you with some random yet enjoyable photos. Until next time my pretties.

This is me and some of my old school highschool buddies out for Abbie's birthday a few weeks ago. Abbie is the one in white, she hadn't won the tickets yet at this point hence why I am not strangling her.

I don't actually remember this photo being taken but I think it's cute.

Erin and I were driving on the weekend and saw this on the back of a large truck. A picture had to be taken.

I lied...this is one of the new pairs of specs I got. And Erin. And me!
