Well,its been a while since i wrote anything
in here so i thought i would today.
It's been busy around here for all of us,John's been working 50-60 hours a week and i also had a lot of hours in the past few weeks plus school is over for my son and hes getting ready to go on a last class trip.He will be busy this summer with swimming lessons,camping,biking,his friends and everything.
Also we are living with one vehicle still so thats a pain in the ass buthopefully in the next few weeks we will get another vehicle so i can have my car back.
The rain hasnt given up yet...we just had 3 full days of it.It seems we get one nice day then 3 with rain.I hope this doesnt keep up or we wont need a new car we will need a boat.I bought a whole bunch of plants for my garden at camp last weeke and still havent been able to get them planted with all this rain but hopefully this week.Camp is awesome even with the rain but it will be nice to have a campfire soon.Not that i need to eat anymore roasted marshmellows...lol.
Anyway,I am off to make lunch for myself and my son and then i have to go to work at 2 so i cant sit here and play on the computer.Have a great day.
Bye for now...

Good Lord
Its raining again.We managed once nice day and one so so day and then poof,or should i say splash,rain again.Now they say sun for tomorrow and the weekend but i wont believe it until i see it.Hopefully it will at least stop raining so we can get to camp.After all we paid a lot of money for seasonal camp fees and we have only been out twice.
Also i am without my car.For those who know me,you know this is torture for me.Johns car died so hes using mine for his work since i walk to work.But...i hate being without my car and my car is like my baby...its hard to let it go.Anyway now we have to go looking for another car,or maybe a truck,for him to take to work.Nothing expensive or brand new but reliable would be nice.John could have my car if i could buy a brand new one...hehehe.But we dont want to have a large bank payment right now because we other plans for our money for a while.Nothing wrong with my car but a brand new 2006 Chevy Cobalt would look some nice in my driveway...everyone has a dream i guess...lol.
Well,here i sit bored out of my mind,my son is playing a video game he rented and John is still working,cause with all this wind and rain power is out all over the place and hes out in the cold and wet helping restore it.Glad its not me...i may be bored but i am warm and dry....lol.
Ok,i am going to find something to do.Should be dishes but i doubt thats gonna happen.
Bye for Now
| | | | | | June 10  My question of the day is.... WHERE IS THE SUN??
Oh My God its been raining here for weeks.I cant remember when i saw the sun last.I would like to plant some flowers at camp but they would just wash away in this weather.And camp...we went twice so far and both times it rained with thunder & lightening so we have stayed home the last two weekends and it rained and thundered both of those as well.We are seriously considering trading our cars for water transportation vehicles. My Dad has been trying to get here for 2 weeks now for a visit but the weather has been so bad he wont make the long drive to get here.OK enough about the weather its just depressing.
On the flip side,work is getting busier so that means more hours for me which means more $$$..lol.We can serve so many people so fast it still blows my mind.At my old job if we served 50 people a day that was considered a good day but now we serve that many or more just for breakfast.Lunch can be anywhere from 75 to 150 people and the same or more again for supper.It goes so smoothly my shift ends before i even realize it.Also doing 8 hours is a lot nicer then doing 12 hours.I have osteo arthritis in my right hip so being on my feet 12 hours was becoming almost impossible for me.I was taking pain killers all day long and now i might take them a couple times a week.Also 100% less stress at this job,it was making me insane and i always felt like crap,so now believe it or not i just feel better.
 Well i really should be doing something besides sitting here on this computer.I have a bathroom to clean and supper to cook.John got called to work this morning because of power outages all over the place due to the lightening blowing out transformers so he has to help get everyones power back on.I am sure he will be cold and wet when he gets home so a nice warm meal will help warm him up.Maybe a nice hot chowder or soup would be good tonight.I might even make homemade biscuits to go with it and we already have coconut cream pie for dessert. I am uploading some new pictures as well.I have camp pictures,bunny pictures and pics of our new apartment now that it isnt such a disaster.Well there is still one room we dont know what to do with and it has all the yard sale stuff and other things we dont want in it but,oh well,it will get done eventually.
OK this is it,I am going to do things i have to get done so i can have my evening free with my 2 favorite guys.Hope everyone have a good night and a great weekend.And for those who live here in the maritimes...try not to get to wet in all this rain.
Have a good one

Well its another rainy day here but life is good.
I am off to work in a bit.I am still lovin my new job and definitely dont miss the old one.I am actually happy to go to work.No matter how busy we get we still laugh and have fun and this includes the boss.After working under such stress before i feel like i have a dream job and i even get paid for it....hahah.
I finally got to post some new pics on my sight of the new apartment and our new bunny.It wasnt MSN after all it was the new internet explorer beta 7 that was giving me grief so i uninstalled it and everything works fine now.There will be more pics soon of the apartment now that its not such a mess (lol) and our camp too.We take the bunnies to camp and they just love running in the grass.They are so cute and spoiled...we bought them harness' and leashes so we can walk them....remember i said they were spoiled...lol.
Anyway i guess it time to get changed for work now.
Have a great day!
Hugs

GRRRRR....
I have some things that really urk me and i usually keep them to myself because they are none of my business but today i feel like venting.
Why do some people treat their kids like they are a bother to them.Why even have these children if you arent going to look after them or act like its such a huge ordeal.Parenting is not easy and it takes time,patience and love to get you through it, so if your not willing to make sacrifices for these kids why even have them?I could sit here and list about half a dozen people that i know of who couldnt care less about their kids...or at least thats how it looks to me.People who cant wait to get rid of their kids for days because they cant deal with them or cant be bothered.People who let their parents or other family members raise their kids because they dont want to be tied down.People who leave their kids home alone for hours on end or all night so they can go do whatever they want.God forbid something ever happend to these kids..then how would the parent feel.Havent these people ever heard the words....Neglect,Abandunment,& Abuse?Legally it is the parents responsibility if something ever happened to these kids.YES every parent deserves a break but not at the expense of the childs safety and well being.I see kids younger then my own son (he is 12) out running around the streets at all hours of the day and night.My son isnt allowed to to do that.I strongly believe kids who are allowed to run the streets this young just eventually get into trouble.They should be involved in things like sports and have hobbies and spend time with parents and friends...not running the streets doing god knows what.What must these kids home life be like?Can you imagine how they feel...kids are smart and do pick up on negative feelings.I cant even imagine telling my child to get out of my site or go outside your in the way or why did i even have kids.I have also witnessed a parent calling her kid a little bitch.These parents dont deserve these kids...children are a gift and they deserve to be loved and cared for properly.After all they didnt ask to be born in the first place.
And this doesnt just apply to single parent families or low income families...i see this going on in all different families.
So is it me?Am i a bitch?
Well,if i am then I would rather be a bitch...at least i know my kid is safe and well looked after.
I say again its none of my business what others do .I just feel bad for the kids .
In the end all that matters is I know my child is safe,cared for and never alone somewhere scared.He also never doubts how much we love him and he will tell you so himself.I am in NO way saying i am perfect,i have made mistakes and will no doubt make more as well,but i do the best i can which is more then i can say for some.
Thats the end of my venting for now.

Well...i didnt realize how long its been since i wrote anything in here.Guess i should pay more attention.
Anyway...not much new here...my new job is still great so far.Its awesome to actually go to work and be treated with respect.Definitely not something i felt at my old job.Spring is definitely here and its beautiful when the sun finally comes out.Been having a lot of rain but thats normal for N.S. weather.Flowers are blooming and the frogs are singing at night...i love spring.Soon time to get out to my camp too.Have to get everything out there and set up...should be able to go camping in the next weekend or so.Have a few things to get as well,like a new BBQ,bricks to build a new fire place and our patio deck needs a little fixing.Also i have place for a garden and a few hanging pots there so i will definitely be going flower shopping soon.
Ok this was short but i have to start cooking supper for my family and tidying up around here so i am off to finish that.We are kid free this evening so we are going out together later as well so...
Bye for now

Well...it took a while and a lot of work but we are all moved in,not all unpacked but moved in.There are still a few boxes that need to be sorted through,unpacked and some thrown away but we are getting there.It wasnt easy trying to move on short notice plus do our jobs,keep up with family,our pets,school and the many other responsiblities we all have.There wasnt much time for rest,relaxation or even a quiet moment alone but thats life and i wouldnt change it for anything.We love our new place.It is awesome.Everything is bigger and so much more open.I cant believe all the stuff i had in the old place and how did i fit it all in there.We got rid of a lot and I still have a lot.
We also got a new bunny...her name is Cinnamon.She is the cutest little thing with calico colored fur and a white tail.Our other bunny PJ turned out to be a boy bunny and so he had to be fixed this week.You can only imagine how we discovered PJ was a boy  ...lol.Anyway,there will be pictures of the new place and of the new bunny as soon as MSN will let me...grrrr.
I also started a new job in the middle of all this.I really like it so far.I was hired as a cooks helper but this Friday I was cook all on my own...i am excited and pleased they trust my work and like my cooking.
Its a beautiful day here so far...sun is shining.We are going to Halifax today to move some things from our storage locker to here and to Johns Moms place.Of course i cannot go to Halifax without going shopping...at least for a little bit...lol.So i plan to go to Costco and maybe Michaels craft store.We still need curtains in our bedroom and kitchen so i am hoping to find material i like so i can make them.
Anyhow...its 9am and i have to make breakfast,start supper in the slowcooker for when we get home,get dressed and get everyone around here ready so bye for now.

| March 31  Sorry it has been a while since i have written anything.It has been just crazy around here.As some of you know we have been looking for a new apartment and we finally found one.It is just a block down the street from where i am now but its a beautiful apartment.All new windows,furnace,deck,paint,kitchen and all newly refinished hardwood floors throughout.I am so excited...we sign the lease and get our keys tomorrow and then we have one week to get moved in.We have been packing some things and trying to get ready but good lord the stuff.I knew i had a lot of stuff but you dont actually realized how much until you try to start packing it.We have also thrown out a ton of junk that i have no idea why i was even saving and stuff i didnt even know i had.So i probably wont be on line much for the next couple of weeks,our internet doesnt get hooked up until the 13th of April so i will be about a week off line.I will be back as soon as possible with pics of our new place.
Well i should go do a few things before work.
Bye for now

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Good Morning!
It is a beautiful day here...the sun is out...its a bit chilly at minus 1 but its still beautiful.
Well we went to see the new apartment last night.Its a lot bigger then what we have now and its all been renovated.All new windows,paint,all new kitchen cupboards,new appliances,new deck outside and hardwood floors throughout.Only 2 things that bother me...no closet in the one bedroom and oil heat.Neither one is a tragedy but i am spoiled by having my heat included in my rent for the last 12 years.Anyway...its nothing we cant afford and we all liked it so i think we are going to take it.
Now comes the move...eeekkkk.If anyone could see all the stuff i have stuffed in this place over the last 12 years they would die.Its gonna take me a month just to get packed and ready to move.There will be a big yard sale in the future...lol.
Ok it is 10am and i need to get dressed and make myself breakfast.B is already up and dressed and he fed himself so i need to get my butt in gear.
Bye for now

Hello...sorry its been a while since i wrote anything on here.Its March break for my son and we have been busy.Sunday we went to Peggy's Cove and it was a beautiful day.On the way home we went to Pete's Fruitique which is my favorite place.They have the best and weirdest stuff you cant get anywhere else but there and since I am a cooking freak its awesome to get all the different fruits and veggies to try.
Anyway since then my son had a sleep over with his cousins and today we are going to lunch and the movies together.I wanted to see Eight Below but B wants to see The Shaggy Dog and since its his choice today he wins.Well when doesnt he win...lol.Then the fun is over because he has a science project to work on this weekend.
Well as you know I got a new
job this year that was supposed to start in May (because i do seasonal work) but my new boss asked me to come in on Saturday to help with a group of 20 they have coming for supper.I cant wait to start.Its going to be so different working in a real kitchen instead of the last one i worked in which was small and not equipted properly for what needed to be done.But thats another story.
Also tonight we are going to look at another...bigger...apartment because we have seriously outgrown this one.The new one is only down the street...lol...but its all newly renovated and has a lot more space.I hope its what we are looking for.
Well it is almost 11am and i have to change and get ready to go out for lunch with my son...no doubt he will want McDonalds...yuk...but its his choice today.
Bye for now

I finally found someone
That knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one
That makes me feel complete
It started over coffee
We started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things
The best things begin
This time is different
And it's all because of you
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it though
My favorite line was
"Can I call you sometime"
It's all you had to say
To take my breath away
This is it, oh I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
Did I keep you waiting? I didn't mind
I apologize, baby that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
You know I love your hair
Are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear
Isn't it too tight?
You're exceptional
I can't wait for the rest of my life
This is it, oh I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
And whatever I do
It's just got to be you

THIS IS ME...
THIS IS WHO I AM...
IT TAKES TIME TO
GET TO KNOW ME...
WHO I REALLY AM...
JUST ASK YOURSELF,
DID YOU TAKE ENOUGH TIME
TO GET TO KNOW ME,
BEFORE YOU JUDGED ME?
I AM NOT SAYING I AM
PERFECT
BUT NIETHER AM I
SAYING I AM SPECIAL!
NEXT TIME BEFORE YOU
WANT TO JUDGE ME...
ASK YOURSELF...
DO I REALLY KNOW HER?
OR SHOULD I JUST TAKE
A JUDGMENT FROM ONE SIDE
OF THE BELL... | |

Well here it is Monday again.An Excellent weekend for me.Started out interesting though....thanks to my ex....I thank God for having the strength to get out of that situation but every once in a while he does something to re-inforce that feeling and Friday he did that and in turn also gave us both a good laugh so thanks for that...its good to know that after all these years there is still no doubt I made the right decisions when it comes to that part of my life.
Besides all that,the rest of the weekend was great.John and I went to Halifax on Saturday,dropped B off to visit his Grampie and we just puddled around a few places in the city,bought a few things and had a nice lunch alone.Later we picked up B,my friend Tina and Michaela and we all went to McD's for supper and then to mini golf in Bayers Lake.It was a blast.Nothing better then spending time with friends.
Sunday was a calm day....we picked up around the house,did dishes,laundry, put B's new desk together and fixed up his room.We went to B'water to the market and just took a nice drive around.Later we all watched a movie together on the couch and then went to bed early.Probably not an exciting weekend for some but to me there is nothing better then spending time with the people I care about.
March break for the kids is next week...i love March break...no doubt we will have a sleep over with the cousins and maybe go to a movie.B also has a science project to start.Him and John are doing that together...they are trying to make alernate sources of electricity.
Well its 12 noon now and I have a few things to do before my 2 favorite men get home.
Bye for now

Good Morning
Well,its the weekend.Not sunny and definitely not warm but its still the weekend.
B is spending the day with his Grampie since Grampie couldnt get down on B's birthday.No doubt Grampie will spoil him.
John and I are spending the whole day alone together.Probably start with coffee ,next a little shopping and then a nice dinner together where i dont have to cook and he wont have to do dishes...lol.
OK off to shower and get dressed.
Bye for now

 Remembering
Jennifer
I truly have no words to explain how I feel.It's been a year since she left this world and oh how things have changed.She is truly cherished and sadly missed.She continues to touch my heart daily with everything she gave to me.
Friendship lasts forever no matter the distance between us.
Luv Chrissy

Today I had a job interview.
First I should start by saying I had a job for the last 6 years which I enjoyed almost every aspect of but as with all jobs there were issues I just wasn't willing to deal with anymore and changes that just weren't right (in my opinion) so I gave notice that I would not be returning this season.
This,obviously,left me unemployed so I set out on that long and frustrating journey of applying and searching for work in various places.I dreaded this whole hateful process.However,I started last week with the number one place on my list and got told "leave your resume with me and don't worry about applying to other places until you hear from me" You can imagine my excitement.So I waited exactly one week and finally got the call for an interview yesterday.I arrived at my interview with butterflies in my stomach but they were soon put to rest.The man asked me exactly 3 questions and then told me I had the job.I then got a tour of the kitchen and a brief summary of hours,pay and how things work.It was the best interview I think I have ever had.
My previous job was seasonal and so is this one which is exactly what I like because then i can be home with my son to help with school work during the school season.
So in May I start a new adventure doing what I love... (cooking)...just in a new and better place.I will miss some of the people from my previous job(some not all...lol)but I had to do what was best for me and I wish them all well.I will still see a lot of my previous co-workers on a regular basis and continue the important friendships I made there.
So I guess it is OUT with the old and IN with the new.
~Life is Good~
Bye for now
Chrissy
