Money

I hate money I decided. Not really money exactly but what it does to people and its impact on society. We could live without it but it would be very hard. Back in the eighteen hundreads like on Little House on The Praire ( yes thats right it is the best show in the world) Doc Backer was always paid with chickens and potatoes causes its all the people had to give. Now I consider that a rich humble man. It destroys companys, countrys, and most of all family and friends . Unfortuantlly it also determines your stature in society and economics. Get this the richest country in the world the USA insists on having extravagant things. Like say Las Vegas where there is marble this and marble that . But they can not fix all of inerstate # 15 from Montana to Nevada, spanning Idaho, Utah , and Arazona. Thats 18 hours of driveing like your in Saskatchewan. Pot holes so big you get lost like in an alternate universe where that one sock always goes. Wierd eh. I do not wish to be rich. Well I do but in a different way, rich in character that demands deserved respect and honor from others. Rich people are not happy they are just over compinsating for the hardest thing in the world I think to achive, which is happiness or true joy. There is a difference. Thats a whole other blog. I grew up poor. There was so much that I didnt have that others did. I was still blessed and thankful for all I did have though. I vowed thats not how it was going to be once I had the control. So far so good. But I am still not cheap exactly but frugle. I still shop at Value Village not for the cool stuff there but for the prices. For me I can not spend a lot of money on things that just cover me and kept me warm or cool temporarly. After all clothes do not mke who you are if they did then I would spend more money on them. Do not get me wrong I am human too and understand that there may be a favorite sweater that you just cant go without. I just want to encourge all to be wise with there money wheather its spending , saveing, loaning or oweing. I've had a bad feeling lately that something bad is happening to someone I know that is not family. I do not know who yet but money is at the heart of it as well as other issues brought on by money that is all going to come to a head soon . I hope I can find out who and lend a hand if it is right and just that help is deserved. Anyway sorry to bore you guys, just really had to write tonight. Thanks for sticking with me though.

Theres No Place Like Home

So I am back from Vegas. It was awesome, hot and tireing. I almost need a vaction from my vaction. It seemed like forever for it to come then when I was there It went by sooo fast. By the middle of the week I was ready to come home. After you do everything then its boring. Coming home came real fast. So happy to seePJ and my house and car were intact. I had fun though and happy I went. But I probably would never go again. I did pretty much everything and went every where. So if you are wondering if I did it the ansewer is yes. Its good to be home. I missed all of so much. Here are some highlights.
- NewYork New York rollercoaster
-Stratosphere big shot rides
- The wedding
-Freemont Street
- Walking up and down the strip tons ( I still have blisters )
- Driving by the White Wedding Chapel were Britney Spears was married for 55 hours as well as other famous couples
- Seeing Steve-O from Jackass
- Seeing one of the Gotti boys
- Seeing a hotel/casino start oni fire
- Looking down at helicopters as they flew by the Stratosphere
- Seeing the white tigers and dolphins and sharks OH MY !!
-Madame Tussouds wax museum
- Getting searched at the boarder on the way home
-M&M World
-Saw where 2 pac was shot
- Palm trees
-Treasure Island show and climbing a wall to get up to see it
-Bellagio show
-Spending time with my dad

All The Difference In The World

Canada vs. U.S.A

Iced Tea - Hot tea cold. In restaurants served with a spoon so you can add the sugar yourself.
Chocolate Milk- White milke with an inch think of Nesquick and a spoon again to stir yourself.
Water with meals- Menus say water upon request they have to perserve for drought, its a desert.
Can I get a cheeseburger (sure no prob) - Can I get a cheeseburger, waiter" how would you like that done?" Are you kidding me " cooked of course!!!" ( in disgust). Yes folks even at fast food places its maditory they ask.
Where are the washrooms? - The what.... you mean restrooms, are you Canadian by chance.
White vinegr for fish and chips- brown gross vinegar
Bacon/ Ham - What they call Canadian bacon is actually ham
Pop (cafeiene flavored) - Pop ( actual high doses of cafeiene in it )
Salad- You order a salad and its like ordering dressing with a side of salad. Dressing come in a soup bowl. No wonder US has highest % of obease people.

It is good to be home and to have iced tea again.

Here I Come

Thought I should make one last post before Vegas in 10 and a half hours . No Im not excited . NOT AT ALL. I already miss PJ. I hope she is okay while I am gone. Cant wait to see my aunty Blanche . Have not seen her in 2 years. I hope the weather is and stays nice while I am down there. Other than that I do not know really what to expect. Its like an adventure. I will miss all of my friends too but the time away might be nice just as long as it is only for a week. I am hooked on American Idol and I never thought I would be. Its actually fun to watch. Simon is my hero. Taylor was my favorite last night with his rendition of A Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen. But I think it is Ace getting the boot tonite. We will have to see. What should my pick of the week be . In my car right now is Black Eyed Peas. They are always a good choice. While have to do more packing, laundry, and cleaning but I think I will have it all ready and not forget anything. Love Yall.

Laura....

Not that I have to explain my every move to you or anyone for that matter but I have been extremely busy the last few weeks. Like wicked busy, you have no idea. I am not ignoring you . I do not know why you would think that . If you notice I have not commented on anyones blog even my own . But I had to today cause that kind of got to me . I cant post comments or update my blog at work even, no cause that would be easy . So thats whats up with that. Let the name thing drop your the one going on about it. There is some sort of comment about it in every comment you post . You know what my name is. Same as it is on my birth certificate. Anyway hope you continue to check out my blog as I will yours when ever I have a chance . Oh...can't wait for Vegas.

P.S. - The song Everything is by Lifehouse not Vertical Horizon and I am Ariel too :)

All I Want

Sure getting time off work is great. Getting 2 weeks off is amazing. Leaving Lethbridge is wicked. Getting out of the country is fabulous. Going to Vegas is exciting. But all I really want to do is see my dad. That is the thing I am the most anxious for . I have not seen him since Christmas. I only see him a few times a year. I love him so much. He is my best friend and the only one I can truely trust besides P.J. . I worry about him so much. He is 60 and is a roughneck. We have had many friends of the family die because of that job and I always think he is next. He travels every where to so is at a higher risk of an accident that way to . I do not know what I would with out him. I wish I could die before him so I dont have to go through his death. But then I always said the day he dies is the day I die too .
