coupon crazyness

OK so i just got home from a morning of checking out stores and ideas for christmas. Lots of people around buying things, screaming kids in the mall, people bumping in to you everywhere! And i thought that you only found things like that at the mall. WAS I WRONG. I ventured on to Michaels Craft store, and the parking lot was over flowing with people i was like are you serious what is going on, i have never seen that many people at the store. So i don't really think twice about going in, as i walk through the door, the line ups are unbelieveable. I would guess probably 40 - 50 people deep, and there are four lines like that! It was insane, i couldn't even guess how long it would take to get through the register, so i quickly put whatever i had in my hands back and left. Coupons for 25% my purchase couldn't even keep in the store to stand in those lines. I just hope this is not a preview of what is to come before christmas!

time flies

Well, well once again i have neglected to write in over a week, somedays time just flies by and i don't seem to have enough time to get all the things i want to get in done in that one day. I have been busy, working nights, but now back to days and maybe i will feel more and more like a human as the next three weeks go by!
I am happy to report that i am in the Christmas spirit though!! I have decorated my christmas tree and even wrapped a few gifts to put under the tree so it makes it even more festive, ( i am going to put a small one up upstairs too) and put out the stockings for santa to fill, i am going to be sitting down to write my letter to santa probably tomorrow (aka. my mom and dad, and my brothers) I received my little brothers letter to Santa the other day, and found out that he told Santa that my name could be found on the NAUGHTY list?!? I just can't beleive it, after all the things i have done for that kid and that is how i get repaid. Unbelieveable! So i will make sure that there is a wrapped lump of coal under the tree for that kid (or a case of Kraft Dinner) kinda the same thing to me!! haha I also found a huge rubber maid tub of presents that i had bought last year for stocking stuffers and things that i completely forgot about! SO i was awesome going through things and seeing what i had that i could cross off my list for this year!!
I went to a couple craft shows last weekend with my friend Kyla, I have to say i was kinda more into the crafts at the first show we went to and not the Signatures Craft Show, there were nice things to be found, but i guess i was just looking for something more. But i yet have to find that something more! I guess now i am hoping to get down to the states for a little shopping so i can have a few suprise presents under the tree! (I just love the reaction on peoples faces!!) (oh and the gift wrapping of everything that is my favorite part!!
Just think christmas is less then a month away!

In one ear out the other...

So i have to get this off my chest. I was teaching a fitness class this morning, and i tell the participants for safety reasons not to put their equipment away during class. You have to sign up for the class and it is an hour long, and i do get everyone through the workout with in the hour so they are able to put the equipment away and get on with their day and they are not having to stay for more then the hour that they signed up for.
Well this morning i had a participant that came up to me, told me she had to leave early and that she knows she is not supposed to put her equipment away until the end of the stretch track. SO i told her please find someone in the class to put your stuff away at the end of the class, just ask the person next to you or your friend if you came with one. Well what does she do....YEAH she starts to put her equipment away between tracks and completely ignores what i had told her when she came to me at the beginning of class. I stated "please do not put your equipment away" and she was completely oblivious to anything i had to say, SO then other participants begin to put their equipment away....be this point i was about to flip. SO after repeating myself about 10 times, i think people began to get annoyed with those who were disobeying me!!
At the end of it all, i think grown adults need to remember their manners that they teach their children, AND have respect for others that are the same class as them.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH feels great to vent!!

Catching up...

SO i have been meaning to post a few pics of my recent road trip so lets see how this works!!

Lots and lots of flat flat land was most of what i saw during my four and half hour drive...

Of course i had to snap a quick picture of Happy Rock in Gladstone as i passed by!

Finally hitting the Sask boarder, it was about another hour and a bit to Yorkton, but by then i was so tired of driving i focused more on the gas pedal then on the scenery that i was passing, (and there was not much of it).

Of course once i got to my destination i could not put the camera down!

I have yet to figure out how to add pictures after i have typed everything. If you have suggestions/ tips please let me know and then i could post a few more things!

In need of a couple days off...

Well lately all i feel like i have been doing is working and sleeping. I am on nights right now, and so i sleep all day, and my most time off between shifts is two days. So basically i have one day off, cause i have to sleep after i get home, then i have one day off then the next day i have to sleep most of it so i can stay up all night! So for the past two weeks i feel like i haven't gotten that much accomplished.
On my last set of four days off i went to see my girlfreind in Yorkton and visit her and her new baby. OH MY GOSH he is so cute. I see cute babies everyday at work, but it is definately different when they are home and there are no monitors or cords or IV lines attached to them. Remindes that the little ones that go home, are much happier once they leave the nursery!!
I have to say the drive to Yorkton is really, really well....boring, there is nothing to look at and since you are in the gap (aka Sask) it is flat land and you see nothing around. I took pictures just so i could prove that there is nothing out there. hahaha
I did alot of lounging and cuddling with the baby, it was nice to get away from it all and not have any responsibility really! I also got to a few of my favorite stores out there. The plum tree, it has such nice stuff! and then my girlfreind took me to a little town of churchbridge and we went to this store that had all this different things, christmas stuff, unique things that you would not find every where else, wall decor, pictures, ornaments for chirstmas, jewellry, the place was just stacked with amazing stuff, i could have spent a whole day looking. I really wish we had a place like that in Winnipeg. If you know of any places please pass them on, they even had crafts and things, i was just in ahhh at how much stuff was in this store!
I had a great time and can't wait to go back!
I am going to crawl back in to bed i am back on the night shift!

SNOW DAY

Well i guess winter is once again upon us, i am really not very happy about this, i like the snow it is pretty at times, but i hate the cold. I am freezing cold all the time in the winter, my roomate feels like he lives in a sauna in the winter cause i have my heat so high, i don't think it is that but...but then again i hate to be cold.
But i am looking forward to a few things that winter does bring. The Santa Claus parade is next weekend, i have never been so i wouldn't mind going to see what it is all about, then the next weekend is Signatures Craft Show, which i am very very excited about i love craft shows, hope i can pick up a few more goodies for christmas gifts! And of course the best thing that the snow brings along with it is CHRISTMAS!! I am soooooooo excited for Christmas. I started my christmas shopping on boxing day last year, i have been collecting things all year just so i wouldn't have to max out the credit card once again this year. I have to admit i do go over board on a few things. my favorite thing to do is wrap gifts and make them look pretty. But once i hand them over to my brothers there is nothing left but torn up peices on the floor, and i am lucky if they even read the tag that is on it! But i do love to see there faces once they open there gifts!
So i guess the snow is not all that bad!!
Happy Winter Everyone!

kinda bad at this

so i have discovered that i am very bad at this idea of having a blog. I never seem to update anything. But part is to blame on my schedule, if it is between blogging or staying in bed for an extra five minutes my bed wins, i can't get enough sleep lately, and i know there are a few other people that know exactly what i am talking about.

I do have an idea for my next post i just have to figure out how to get the pictures on so the story makes sense!

maybe november will be a better month for me....
