Wow! It has been a very busy week! Dad and I had to do some Christmas shopping for Mom on Monday night - that was fun! No really, it was! Tuesday I had my hair done - gotta keep that blonde lookin' bright! Then I cooked and baked for our small Christmas gathering with some friends from school that night. Wednesday, what did that day hold??? Oh yes, lunch with Morgan. I went to high school with Morgan - we were the stars of the basketball team hahaha. So that was nice to catch up with her. Thursday I went to my Mom's school to help with the Grade One class - we made gingerbread houses!!! Then I met up with Gramma and Ken to have lunch! So much fun having lunch dates with those two. We actually got really bad service at this one restuarant so we walked out - Gramma told them what she thought on the way out! Go Gramma! So we went to a great little diner and I had a chocolate milkshake, grilled cheese and onion rings! I felt like a kid again. Then Dad and I were off again to find stocking stuffers for Mom - not the greatest luck. And that brings me to today...I'm still watchin' TV. And I don't feel bad about it. I will go wrap some presents soon and then I am in charge of picking up our turkey - he/she is getting killed as I write. In our house we call the turkey "lurk bird" - don't ask wy, we just do! Makes me laugh though lol. So that has been my crazy week and I'm sure it will only get more crazy in the next few days as Christmas arrives! So exciting! Anywho, I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Enjoy all that family time!

CRRRAZY DAY!

So today was a very interesting day...it started off with me and my best friend Kyla going to book our trip to West Edmonton Mall for a little Reading Break shopping! Every year that I've been in University reading break has been the thrid week in Feb. Well, since we go back quite a bit later into January for second semester I guess the University thought they should push reading break back a week - not good when you don't check the dates of reading break before you book a flight!!! That's right I totally screwed it up...luckily we realized this within about ten minutes of leaving the travel agent and I booked it back there to plead my case - LOVE WEST JET - they were so nice about it all and moved all our plans back a week :) Phewf! Dodge a doozey there as I am expected to be in classes that week before - and they aren't understanding professors!

So then I leave the travel agent all happy again heading to Starbucks to tell Jenn, the other girl coming with us but is flying on air miles so will be booking her flight separatly, that a catastrophy was avoided! BUT, before I could get there I had an old man start yelling at me through his window of his car, sitting in the lane beside me. I don't know what I did to make him so mad - I really don't? So I gave him a bizzare look and just avoided looking at him...that didn't work...he was really mad....so I luckily I have power windows and pressed the down button on the passenger side window button...Sir you need to stop yelling, you're going to give yourself a heart attack...and with the ease that I opened the window I then shut it again. What is with people?

Then I was headed to Gramma and Ken's...we had a lunch date! Love lunch dates with those two :) While we were enjoying our White Spot meal the mixed rain and snow turned to SNOW and was STICKING! This was NOT in the forecast! Crazy people, crazy weather and crazy amounts of things to get done in town all the while it being 10 days before xmas = a very CRAZY DAY!

Blogger is making me :(

Ok, so now I know the frustrations first hand of blogger! I have been trying to put a picture of me on my profile and it's not working. It said I had to upload a picture to blogger then cut and past the url and bingo bango I should have had a pretty picture of me starring back at me! But NOOOO!!! For two days now it says it has illegal characters or it cannot perform my request (something to that effect). If anyone has any advice please feel free to share your wisdom! So now if you want to see who this mysterious girl is at "Everyone needs a little TLC" then you can look at the gigantic picture of me below!

Just incase anyone is wondering...TLC are my initials. So you can see my title has two different meanings :) I guess I better marry a guy with a last name that starts with a "C" or I'm hooped! Haha - On that note, I'm outtie! Toodles all!

Why you're in my "I don't know you, but I like you" category!

I feel compelled to explain to those under my "I don't know you, but I like you" category of blogs. I went to elementary and high school with Brad Riemer and one of our friends gave me the link to Stephanie's blog so I could see wedding photos - a while back now. So me being the blog virgin I was, and still sorta am, I found the links to other's blogs from hers and love reading about the daily happenings of your lives! They have been a source of procrastination from homework for me and given me some laughs! Anyway, just wanted you to know why you made it to the prestigious spot of "I don't know you, but I like you". Maybe I can return the favour by providing some crazy stories of a single girl, soon to be a teacher!

FIRST POST!!!

Well, here is the first post! I thought this might be a theraputic way of getting rid of my frustrations toward school...and maybe let ya all in on some of the crazy things that happen to me in my life! Incase you were wondering, I am in my 6th year of University...that's right 6th!!! I will be graduating in December 2007 with two degrees - Bachelor of Arts and an Education Degree. Well I need to get back to studying. I have two finals tomorrow and I've been procrastinating for about two hours now (lunch doesn't take that long Tracy!)
