Is it Friday yet?

The past couple weeks have been so busy! On the 3rd of December my dog sitting Tucker began, I can't believe it's over tomorrow already! As much as it's nice to get back to your own routine and not have to worry about another persons' dog, I will miss the guy! He got along with my dog Shadow SO well. Shadow and him played almost the entire time that they were together. I think Shadow might miss him when he's gone. Plus Tucker has been an absolute sweetheart. Which I didn't really expect to be honest. Let's just say that at the daycare he wasn't quite...the nicest guy. So I thought I may have had some issues bringing him into my house. But nope. He was an angel. No problems at all! I wish all my dog sitting could go as smoothly as this one had.



Along with Tucker I had all my Christmas shopping to do. Also running errands almost every day!
Friday will be the last day before our winter break. I am so excited for it! I need it. I need to have a few days where I do absolutely nothing.
Tina and I are planning to have our nails done this weekend along with a double date downtown on Sunday! I'm very excited, I hope it all goes great. Which I'm sure it will :)

AMC you did it again. *(Warning, Spoilers)*

So, Ryan and I finished Walking Dead last night......
Good lord I love that show so much. They did an awesome job at making you sit on the edge of your seat for their mid-season finale. It was almost too much to handle, but it was good. I've heard rumors that this season 4 might be their last.Which I would be sad about, but at the same time might be a good thing. When shows drag on for too long I find they can become way too repetitive and sometimes end up making me not want to watch it anymore. Almost losing interest. Like Breaking Bad for example. I miss that show and wish it didn't have to end, but where else could it have gone? Jesse and Walt get together AGAIN? Or Hank actually isn't dead and the game of cat and mouse starts AGAIN? No. Wouldn't have been good. They did an awesome job of wrapping it all up and giving it a wonderful ending to the series. I wonder how they're going to wrap Walking Dead up...

Memory Lane




Uh oh, Here comes sentimental Nicole again...
I was cleaning out my room tonight and found an old box full of old pictures. The majority of them were from about 2-3 years ago. Back when I also used to hangout with a bunch of different people.
It's crazy how fast time goes. When those people and memories used to cross my mind it felt like SO long ago. But looking through the pictures it felt like it was yesterday. I hardly talk to any of those people anymore. Some of them have moved away and some did the same as me. Fade out.
A lot of the pictures made me smile so big and even laugh out loud. I do miss those days from time to time. I love my life right now.
But getting to have these memories in the back of my mind are just fabulous. I have some awesome stories to tell for forever! And stories to make me smile. I am so happy I was given the chance with those people to do the things I did. We were all so young and free! We didn't care if we worked at 7 am the next morning. Most nights during the summer we had bonfires on the beach (after jumping the huge fences behind the giant houses out at White Rock of course) haha. Or getting pissed drunk and getting lost downtown. Scary and exciting all at the same time. Going mudding down at allouette, pulling all nighters and having burger king for breakfast (ew), waxing Colten's chest hair (yes, we did that), drunk bowling, driving all the way to Alberta just to see a friend for one night, having your bday party on a monday night and having all 28 of your friends show up, all the crazy wild houseboating (I will not post what happened during those trips on here, only close friends know about that haha),...I could keep going all night.
Now, I'm not saying that I don't have beyond fantastic memories with my other best friends. Because I do! So many of them. I don't know what I would do without these wonderful people that are in my life right now. I love them dearly, they are family to me. I am a lucky girl to have the friends in my life that I do today. It's just that reminiscing on these memories are very dear to me because during this time was when I broke away from the horrible person I was slowly becoming. These were the years when I realized who I want and don't want to be. And these people just happened to be a big part of that. I'll never forget them. Things may have changed, but the memories remain the same.


"It was my life and it was fun
Another season of my life is done
Another race I'm glad I got to run
Another chapter of my life its over
No I'm never gonna feel like that again
Times rushin by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then
No I'm never gonna feel like that again."

-Kenny Chesney

 


Is it Saturday yet?

Yay! Tomorrow is Friday! Finally! One more week. Just ONE MORE week.
Plus, super exciting, this Saturday I am going shopping with my bestie! I know, I'm crazy to be dragging her with me on the 2nd weekend before Christmas. But either way, I'm excited to go! Shopping with my red head is always a good time. Then, after shopping, we will be doing our practice class for our puppy training. Well....Tina will be practicing, I, on the other hand are planning to just stand there and smile until I get the hang of it haha.
Later on in the day Ryan and I will FINALLY be going to get our Christmas tree together <3 I am so excited. We like to make a night of it. We get hot chocolate and drive around and look at Christmas lights and then watch a Christmas movie together. Hopefully it's not pouring rain like it was today :/ Oh well, either way we will make the best of it. We always do!

"This is a fact, Jack"

I almost forgot to mention...

Ryan and I are obsessed with DUCK DYNASTY. Yes, it's ridiculous. So ridiculous. So fake and scripted. But we are IN LOVE. <3 <3 <3
Phil is my favorite #happyhappyhappy < - - - - I.Am.So.Lame.






Excuse me while I vent...

I don't think there is enough space on this blog for me to write about all the shitty things that have been happening lately. To me, my family, and my friends. Bah! I just want this year to be over. Or, the events that are happening to be over. I know that people have obviously been through much worse than what I'm going through, but it's still hard to not let it bring me down. And, on top of all of this, one of my best friends, Kelsey, isn't here. I miss her so much. Especially around this time of year. I received an email from her the other day writing about how much she missed me and how sad she was. UGH. Let's just say it was not easy to read.
Dear Kelsey, please come home soon? </3
But, Christmas is almost here, which is awesome. No matter what happens I will not let it get in the way of Christmas for myself. No way. Today I baked banana bread, pumpkin cookies, and cupcakes! Boo ya! My house smelled delicious. Plus it was snowing outside at the same time and I had our Christmas tree all lit up. I definitely did not want to go to work today. I would have loved to just put on my pj's and put in a Christmas movie. Maybe it's a Wonderful Life (My favorite) or The Santa Clause. Soon I will be able to do nothing but relax. Because....It's almost my winter holiday!! A whole glorious 8 days off of work. Don't get me wrong, I love love LOVE my job, but sometimes you just need a day or two...or eight to do...absolutely nothing.

Some other venting that I need to do...
Some people. Just....People. Why do ya gotta do the things you do? WHY!! People suck sometimes. Seriously. I just want to go live with my dog in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone.
I just hate feeling...like I annoy people. Ya, I think that's what it is. I'm very strongly opinionated and am very passionate about the things and people in my life. Sometimes I go overboard, and I can see how that might put some people off. But it's me, and if some people don't know that by now, well then I guess they can suck it haha.
For a little while there I was really worried about what people thought of me and the choices I made. I felt like I needed the approval from people to say that I did a good job or that I did something right. But who are they to say it's right or wrong. Screw you. You don't like it, YOU DO IT. Ya....bitch (god I miss Breaking Bad). Anyway, back to what I was saying. I used to care, but I had a realization today. I'm going to do the very best that I can with what I have. I'm happy and I'm proud of how far I've come. I'm sure I'll have some setbacks along the way and a few corrections. But that's how we learn right? I've made lots of mistakes, but if I never made those mistakes I would never have learned. I would have never learned I don't have to put up with guys that are wrong for me. That I don't need to cling to a guy just cause I have him. I can wait for the real thing. (Which has finally come around <3 ) I don't need to stay at a job that makes me miserable, I don't need to keep people in my life that I don't want there. The list goes on.


Well, that's it for this entry. Goodnight Mr.Blog. Thanks for listening.
