My links are invisible

I know it looks like there aren't any links except for Christy but they are there, you just can't see them. If you click on the white space underneath Christy then you will go to a new blog.

Lisa my dearest Lisa

Thanks so much for calling me last night. You are so crazy...good luck rolling all of your change. I love this picture of us. Love ya.

Livin la Vida Loca

I want to be back in Nova Scotia having fun!with my friends!! But alas I am back in the evil world of academia. Classes that I don't care about (except Drama...oh the fun I have in that class), always having an assignment hanging over my head and worst of all pompous professors. GROAN. I feel as though that being on campus makes me more stupid. For example: the first day of classes I see a tent set up and they are giving out free student planners...hurray, I think to myself and I saunter over in order to get one and save myself a few bucks. The young ,almost prepubescent, man says to me, "What faculty?". I hear "Are you faculty?" I smile and say no. He looks at me with a look that informs me I have indeed said something stupid/wrong. He bravely tries again..."What faculty?" (His voice cracks this time). Then I started to giggle because I realize my mistake and it is not just a quick giggle, oh no, it's one of those nervous over the top giggles. I attempt to pull myself together and between gasps and giggles I manage to say, probably far too loud, "ENGLISH, I'm an English Major...Okay?". I think next time I will just buy my own stupid planner. I cannot wait to graduate from university so that my common sense will return...I hope...maybe I'm too far gone already. Good night everyone. And for those of you out there who are rolling their eyes because I, a member of the English faculty, have no idea how to use puncuation and grammar...go ahead. I'm too tired to care.

My new jacket

My friend Leanne told me before I went to Nova Scotia that she had gotten my birthday present but it was so awesome that I had to wait until I back to Edmonton to get it. Well boys and girls she was right...it is amazing...a Cheri Milaney jacket!!!! Wow!!!! I am including a picture but it doesn't even begin to do it justice! I think it is the nicest piece of clothing I have ever owned!! THANK YOU LEANNE.

oops

So my attempt to add a link was unsuccessful! Just type in www.kylasandulak.com and click on the "songs" tab to find her music.

Kyla Sandulak

In the summer I took a drama class and let me say I had a wonderful time. It was a great class, a great professor and a great group of people. I met a lot of fun and interesting people. One girl that I met, Kyla, I quickly found out had an amazing singing voice. She told me that she sings a lot around Edmonton and has released a CD of original music, she also told me about her website. This brings me to the point of this blog, you all have to check out her music. There are 3 songs on website that you can listen to. She is so amazing.
I hope you enjoy.

Tea Party

I know I have been a bad blogger lately but I have just started back to class and I'm a little overwhelmed with life at the moment. I also got hit hard this past weekend with the stomach flu/food poisoning. But I must report about the lovely visit with Anne and her sweet baby, Leah. If every baby was like Leah I would have a hundred. Never in all of my life have a seen such a pleasant, agreeable child. Anne is definitely doing something right. It was so nice to talk with Anne and catch up a bit with her. Anne, we really need to do that more often. Anyway, here are a few pictures from our visit.

She'll probably kill me but...

Yesterday was my friend Shannon's birthday and it made me stop and ponder our 25 year friendship. We've have had some ups and downs but have remained close over the years. We have battled several fashion trends, hair mishaps, heartbreaks and many, many laughs together. When I was little I didn't realize how blessed I was to have such a friend, I swear at times we were able to read each others minds. Even now that we are "all growd up" and are at very different stages of our lives we are connected by our heart strings. It feels good to know that regardless how often or not we talk when we see each other face to face we can pick up where we left off. It's amazing how two people as different as we are from each other can be kinred spirits. I am blessed to know her. I thank God for my friend, for the memories that we have made and for the ones we will make. Happy Birthday Shan. Love you always.

Okay Christy enough is enough!!

This picture is of my long lost sister in law, her name is Christy Lynn (Koonts) Benson. It has been some time since her last blog and I am very concerned for her safety. If you have any information concerning her whereabouts please post a comment. Christy if you are out there somewhere put a blog up!!!!!!!!!!!

Proud of my dad

For those of you who know my dad you are probably aware of the fact that he had a crappy childhood and he worked at a job he hated for over 30 years. So it really did my heart good while I was home because I got to see him doing things that he really loves. I think it's great to see how much he enjoys running "The Driftwood" even when the Pepsi guy doesn't show up. He treated Leanne and I to a boat tour of Aylesford lake and I got to cruise around on his motorcycle with him. I love how my dad knows how to appreciate the small in things in life. And I am so happy that he has a chance to enjoy things that he chooses.

On my birthday

So I have a lot of catching up to do. I thought I would start with my birthday that seems like forever ago. I LOVE birthdays, I always have so much fun and James spoils me too. We started out with a healthy breakfast of grease.

Then we when to the waterpark with Amanda, Arthur and Caius and had SO much fun and had more grease to eat.


Then before I hopped a plane to Nova Scotia James took me to Koutouki's Greek Restaurant. So we ended up having grease 3 times :)...get it? Grease or Greece...hahaha...I crack myself up. I really need to get out more.

Anyway, I had a wonderful birthday. It was fun to hang out and be silly with friends. I hope you enjoy the pictures and I promise to post NS pictures soon too.

I'm home

Hey Everyone, I'm back to blogging. I had such a wonderful time while I was in Nova Scotia. I have so many pictures to share with you but I promise not to overload you. It was nice to get off the plane last night and see James' face smiling! It is good to be back in Edmonton. It is so true that your home is where your heart is and my heart is with James. Don't worry though mom because I am a Maritimer through and through. Enjoy my pics.
