Happy Birthday!

No Comments

…to my little buddy and one of my four nephews, Ruairi (Rory). He turned 1 year old today. Unfortunately for favorite Auntie Nancy, I live in Canada while they all live in Ireland. Boooooo! I haven’t seen him since he was two weeks old. My Brother sends photos to me via facebook and everything. So I get to hear all kinds of cute/funny stories about how he’s a real character, and likes to make everyone laugh. He’s a happy boy too, and his big brother Kelan (two and a half year old) tears him apart lol.

I sent over a massive Christmas Box with everyone’s Christmas presents, including Ruairi’s birthday gift. THEY RECEIVED IT LAST WEEK, finally. I mailed it on October 28, so I’m glad it got there before Christmas! Everything takes 8 weeks to mail over there. It’s ridic.

Last soccer game of oh eight

WHAT A SNOW STORM OUT THERE! I’m glad I decided to wake up ten minutes earlier this morning. Apparently they’re calling for 30cm now, as opposed to the previous estimate of 15–20cm. Le sigh. I hope it’ll all settle before tomorrow morning since I’m bussin’ it out to get my pedi and brow wax before I head home!

Last night was our last indoor soccer game of 2008. We headed out to a little shady pub after and had a few drinks. I think last night was the only time I didn’t score a goal. Impressive hey? A team mate made up for that though, with a nice hat trick, and ended up winning the game for us 3—1. I’ll miss a game in January because the season starts back up again, but I’ll still be in Newfie land partyin’ it up.

It was a tough game, I almost wish someone brought a camcorder and recorded it. The other team was totally falling all over the place, and we weren’t being pushy or anything, this one girl was clumsy as sin. I think I bruised the bottom of my heel, or where my heel ends (mid–foot) it’s sore as hell but I don’t walk on that part of my foot, so it’s not like it’s sore constantly, only when I step on something by mistake with my bare feet like my laptop wire.

My Boss and I exchanged gifts this morning. She knows me all too well. It’s really great. She loved all the little purse–sized things I gave her (she loves little things like that), and we were all giddy and happy playing Christmas music getting excited over our gifts.

Okay, I’m totally rambling here today, I obviously don’t have anything much important to say, hehe. Oh and YAY, IT’S PAY DAY!

Appointments on top of even more appointments.

And I’m not even ill!

At least once a week for the last little while, I’ve been having appointments with places either in another city, or during work hours. I’m starting to get annoyed and a tad worried about what my boss thinks of this! I do make up the hours that I take off, my boss always tells me that it’s okay, and she’s super laid back about it. I just don’t want to take it for granted! But with all of these checkups, physicals, xrays, dental appointments, chiro appointments (iiiiii know! Look at them all!)

Anyway, so a few days ago I had a checkup at my Orthodontists office in the next city. My Mom’s cousin, and my Mom’s Aunt lives out there, so it’s alright since I have a few relatives that I can visit and have my day not be a total waste of money on a greyhound. My retainers seem to be doing great. Teeth are staying straight, even though I have nightmares (shush lol) about them going back into crooked places and rotting out of my head. Come January, I have only have one appointment in the adjacent city, but I’ll be taking two days off work for that one. My boss even suggested I do so! Very nice.

Times like these, it would be so much easier, faster, more convenient if I had a car. But! I am saving. Saving for a down payment babyahhh. I will have you soon.
