Hump Day!

Hey guys,
How was everyone's hump day?
Mine was good, I slept until 2ish today. Sleeping during the day is never a very good sleep, but at least I got about 6 hrs!
So, when I woke up I moved from my bed to the couch, HA! I spent the afternoon reading your blogs and surfing the net. I also had a lovely phone call from my mom! She misses me, I miss her too, a trip home is needed soon!

Anyways, for lunch(?) early dinner I had a grilled cheese sandwich! YUM! along with a piece of cheese and two cookies I had made a few days ago.
Then I went to the boys, I realized I am pretty much out of food, and I was bored.

So I drove there, usually takes about 20minutes. But, the only way to get there (Niagara on the Lake) is to cross one of two bridges. You have to drive over the canal (Welland) where big boats are always passing through. I got stuck at the bridge, it was up and a big boat was going through. It is always neat to see, these boats are huge and seriously only have like a foot of room on each side, but this added 20 minutes to my trip. Oh well!!
The boy made me cheese tortelini, omg it was soooo good.
Salad on the side:
Later on I snacked on a banana and we shared some popcorn. (may or may not have eaten it before I remembered to snap pictures)
We just hung out for the night, talked and watched T.V. Then I headed to a friends around 1am and am now home (3am). I am trying to maintain my midnight schedule as I do go back in tomorrow night (not that I am even tired anyways).

So hope everyone is making fun plans for the weekend, I need to spend tomorrow packing every little last detail of my house :S!!! And I found out that I can move my stuff in Friday, but I can't stay there because they are having the house professionally cleaned (sweet) on Saturday. But that leaves me homeless for the night, good thing the boy was like obvi you can stay at my place (his parents). I don't usually stay there, respecting parents wishes and such, but they made an exception in this case.

HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!

2 down 2 to go (and more giveaways)

Hey guys,
This is just a quick post. I am at work, forgot my camera, I took pictures (I think) of some of what I consumed today.
So this morning I got home, ate half a bagel (pretty picture to come) and put myself to sleep with Twilight (drool <3) haha!

I had just fallen asleep, my rommie bangs on my door at 11am!!! OMG I was furious! She wanted me to move my car (we have a 5 car wide driveway) so she could park closer to the door because she was moving (her car was beside mine). Now inside I was boiling mad! I don't know why, I think mainly because I was so tired and had just fallen asleep, and she couldn't walk the extra 2 steps to her car to put her things in. But of course, I just moved my car and jumped back into bed. We didn't have much of a goodbye, I had written her a little good bye note and left it on the fridge. She'll be back in 2 weeks to celebrate her birthday, so hopefully we'll be good friends again (sometimes you just can't live with your friends)

So I woke up periodically throughout the day, packed a little, cleaned a little, and put most of my packed up boxes in the living room so they are easy to move out (picture of all my packed junk to come, seriously a sight). I think I have a 'pack rat' problem! haha! I purged myself of a lot of stuff, and think I need to do it more. I feel so overwhelmed moving, I can furnish a whole house :S (2 couches, entertainment unit, tv, bed, dresser, desk, bookshelf, all the kitchen appliances and utensils) Just seems like a lot of stuff to me, oh well I think I am just anxious (I am moving to my sister's student house, 6 bedrooms, and I am the only one staying there this summer, then in Sept I'll move again, just not sure where yet).

The boy and I had friends to my house for dinner, despite the disaster state of boxes. We had pasta with alfredo sauce and scallops. YUM! So good, it was nice to relax and catch up, they are such a cute couple.

They left and I tried to relax and now I am at work. I did not bike today, was just not feeling it. I even downed an energy drink just to sustain myself, and am about to make some really cafenated green tea.

Anyways thanks for reading my rant today. I'll be back with pictures when I get home from work!

PS I don't work nights tomorrow!!!! :D, a guy needed a shift change, so I have tomorrow night off, back in Thursday night, then in Saturday 1-9pm for the guy (he can have my midnight shift any time and i'll take an easy afternoon!!)

Have an awesome hump day tomorrow!

Also there are some mega giveaways going on! Check them out.

Week of Midnights :(

Hey guys,
So I left you off Sunday evening. My roommate, her boy, our friend, and my boy all went out for dinner as it was one of her last nights!!! It was a cute place called Cat's Caboose. They have a $5.00 menu on Sunday's, but you have to buy a drink. So it still works out to be cheaper than usual because their portion sizes don't change with the price. So I ordered the chicken cesar wrap with buffalo chips and a 7-up. OMG delicious. I had only planned on eating half of the wrap, but when it finally got to the table and in my mouth I had to eat it all.

I took no picture because they would all think I was nuts. But after dinner I headed home to relax before work. Last night went well, just soo long. While at work I ate half a chicken breast with sweet and sour sauce and a pear. Around 6am I made myself eat cheese and crackers because if I don't eat I always wake up with wicked hunger pains in the middle of the morning.

So I got home 730am ish and hit my bed, but couldn't sleep until almost 9, gah! And go figure I still woke up with wicked hunger pains at noon, I ate a nutrigrain bar, drank some water, but for the life of me could NOT fall back asleep... :( I was so sad. So all day I packed!!!

I eventually took a break from packing and made breakfast. 3 scrambelled eggs and 2 pieces of ww toast with jam!
YUMMY, then I spent the rest of the day packing. I then had a fruit smoothie before ball hockey. Ball hockey as always was awesome, but my hip and knee pain has come back with a vengeance! I almost want to cry it hurts to much. The muscles of my upper butt and surounding my hip joint are swollen, and rather than a sore muscle pain they feel like burning! And the back of my knee feels like something is pinching I can't bend or extend, or lift without mega pain. So hopefully this all goes away soon!

After ball hockey I made dinner.....trying to get rid of all my food as a I move Friday!!!!

I ended up having steak (left over from dinner at the boys the other day) and some sidekicks, and a salad!
(picture got deleted at work)
Then I showered, made the peanut butter squares featured on Bec's blog (1c pb, 1/2 sugar, 1 egg & chocolate chips)

and sat around...and then biked the 2km to work. Now I am at work wishing I was sleeping, so tired. Shift work will be the death of my body, lol!

Anyways since I should probably go be productive, I hope you all had a wonderful day, and I will be back tomorrow (hopefully after more sleep)

NIGHT!

-I meant to post this while at work, but for some reason I couldn't get the pictures working, and I lost one. So, now it is 0724hrs and I am just getting home, it was a nice bike ride, but really windy!
I am going to go shower, make and eat a bagel and then put myself to sleep a la Twilight:)

Night out!

Hey Guys,
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I certainly have had a busy one.
So back tracking to yesterday, I worked a super long day 12pm-10pm.
I made a smoothie before work but was out of berry juice, so I used the last of my mixed berries and added peach juice. It was disgusting! I regretted adding peach juice, instead of just buying more red juice. oh well live and learn.
I packed a lunch before I left and headed to work.
When I got there I ate the apple-cinnamon oatmeal I had packed, as well as had a left over slice of pizza from the party the day before.
Work was so-so, we had one arrest, and a couple complaints, nothing out of the norm.
Later on I had chicken and potatoes for dinner, was delish! One of my fav meals seriously, so plain and simple but I just love it.
I bought a few groceries at work, I didn't want to buy anything before I moved, but I can't live without smoothies!
-Frozen berries
-Oasis juice
-Pears
-Frozen juice (for mixing last night)
-All dressed chips

So while at work, after we locked everything up I decided to do my hair for going out, so I didn't have to do it when I got home! haha.
So this is me, well part of me, getting ready to do my hair in the office bathroom. My uniform makes me look huge! haha!!
So, I i got home a few mins after 10, I may have left a couple mins early and flew home. I poured myself a lovely bacardi and grape punch drink (haha i know sugar overload) then got myself into a dress and sat down with my friends. We munched on all dressed chips and drank our hearts out until it was time to go to the bar. In essence I only had about 4 shots of bacardi in two drinks, and at the bar had 2 shots of tequila. I am a lightweight, plus I don't drink often to begin with.
So we spent the night dancing away, it was great. I even resisted after-bar food! I was sooo proud of myself. I waited till I got home and had a bagel with cream cheese. Filling, yet not greasy fries or burgers or sausages that everyone else got!!!!
So this morning, well afternoon, I woke up a few times, but never got out of bed until 2! Told you I was a lightweight haha. I am not hung over, I am just not energetic. But I had a ball hockey game today at 3, I played so well!!! Had so many chances to score, but just never finished. I hit the post twice, but I did get 3 assists. We won 5-0. We are currently in second place. We only had 3 girls so I didn't get much rest, I love that feeling. I could run sprints around the hockey arena forever!

Anyways now I am home, had a fruit smoothie (same one I have had before in this blog) and then I am going to shower, and have a salad and just relax.

My roommate and a few friends and I are going out for dinner, but not till late so my salad should hopefully tide me over.

TTYL!

Gorgeous!

OMG the weather is gorgeous! WOW!
It was amazing today, I walked outside to check the temp and ran in to find summer clothes!!!
So, today I had to go to a 'going away' lunch at work. Two of the guys got hired with two different police services. YAY for them. They served pizza, wings, and cake. Oh god, haha not good food, but sooo tasty. I had two small pieces of pizza and a few wings with carrots and celery on the side.

I got to wear a cute denim skirt, tank and cardigan! Loved this weather today.

After the lunch I head to the boy's house. We hung out for the afternoon, then made a delicious summer dinner. We bbq'd steak, shrimp, and made sweet potato fries. It was sooo good!
I regret not having a salad a little, but oh well I'll make up for it tomorrow.
Check out the boy's fat cat Furball, haha!
Tonight I decided just to stay in. I packed a little here and there, I should do some laundry but I think I'll wait until Sunday to do that. I baked chocolate chip cookies (the light version)
they are yummy but I am glad we're having ppl over tomorrow or else I would devour them all myself!!! Thus I am snack on baby carrots as a snack instead of more cookies.
Anyways, I'm off for a little late night rollerblade before I crash!

Anyone have good weekend plans?

I work tomorrow 12-10, then heading out for a night on the town with friends, Sunday ball hockey, then I work midnights Sun. night until Thurs night....boo haha!

Have a great weekend!

Giveaway

Head on over to Jenny's blog for a sweet giveaway!
YUMMY

Greys Night :)

I think this is the first time I have actually sat down and watched Grey's at home...weird...I usually just catch it online.

Well since I left you last I have done nothing! It feels sooooo GREAT to just relax. I watched Underworld II and had lunch. Bowl of tomato soup with some shredded cheese,
half of a banana chocolate chip muffin (I think it was starting to go bad, wasn't very good)
and the last of my strawberries. Yum!
Other then that I have just been surfing the net, casually picking up around the house, got a few boxes out to pack, and watched some T.V with a few stretches and random exercises inbetween. I was going to go to the gym and just hit up the elliptical but decided against and will go in the morning. My week of not running is almost over and my hip/knee are feeling about 1000 times better, even after doing legs yesterday!!! I just keep stretching it out, my knee still kills, but is improving.

Now I just had dinner and am watching Grey's!!!! A solidly good day!
I may or may not have gobbled up all the veggies before I remembered to take a picture (mixed veggies; green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots; half a chicken breast; and some potatoes)

After Grey's, is private practice DUH! But then I am not sure what I am doing. A few friends and my roomie are going to a bar near by I might meet up with them later, I will not be drinking tonight but I think the walk over there would be nice. I usually head to a friend's with some of the guys from work, have mentioned them a few times before. We usually hang out at god awful hours of the night, but one of them is sick!!! So, looks like we're just going to do different things tonight.

Anyways, Hope you guys had a fantastic day and I will catch up with you all tomorrow.
