Go Lisa! It's Your Birthday!

Gonna party like it's your birthday!

Well, not really. This year I'm not so into my birthday. Maybe it's because of the number (31, or as I was saying last Wednesday 25 for the 6th time), maybe it's because my favorite spot to celebrate just closed down last week. Or maybe it's because every year that I get totally excited and plan something spectacular (or only mildly amusing), it always turns out to be disappointing.

Last year I had a big shin-dig planned for my 30th, but I was horribly horribly sick and had to cancel it. Some close friends and I went out for dinner then next week, but it just wasn't the same.

This year I'm just all shades of depressed, and I'm not expecting anything, not even presents. I've been a hermit for the past year, not working much and mooching of my parents. I wasn't even expecting the traditional check from the parents this year, in fact I was hoping I wouldn't get one. I don't feel like I deserve it. So I thank my dad for giving me an iTunes gift card instead.

I can only hope that this year will turn out even slightly better than last year. It would be nice to have a job throughout the whole year instead of just now and then. And maybe one day I'll find that elusive shiny button that you push and your life just falls together perfectly. Once day... Not today though...

Happy Early Birthday to me!!!

I got a present from my beautiful sister today. She loves me lots. She sent me yarn from Spain :) A big pink log that yes, does look like a penis, some variegated pink rayon and some recycled Sari.

3 more Days!!!

3 more days and I get to go home!! Yay!! Not for good though :( Although I am quite enjoying myself out here on the coast, it just isn't home. Well, at least not yet. Maybe after I've been here for a few months, and have a place I can actually call my own, and have my kitty here to keep me company at night, then it will feel more like A home. But Kamloops is still home home.

And it's my birthday on Saturday!! YAY!!! I get to become a cougar in training!! At least I'm a damn hot 29 year old. That's one thing to enjoy. The being single part, I'm still not sure about. it's Ok, but not really what I want. I'm getting to that point where girls can make really stupid decisions based on what they wanted for thier future when they were young, and not based on what is good for them right now. And right now, not being in a relationship is definitly better for me. Please remind me of that next time I say I found the perfect guy...

Man, I have this throbbing headache that is so from my walk up the hill from the bus stop. Sometimes it is really hard to breathe going up that hill. I don't know why, there is no congestion in my lungs, but it still feels heavy to breathe. And my sternum hurts too. And my throat from the breathing. I should go to the doctor... Maybe...

Oddly Lucky Week

This week I: got invited to Hawaii, got a new cell phone and can get a free 4GB memory card that I can also use in my camera, and got a promotion/raise at work.

I sceptically wondering where all this good luck has been hiding, and why it decided to come out in the same week. I'm also wondering if it's all used up now, will continue, or I will now have to deal with a back lash or bad luck to counteract it.

My Aunt is going to Hawaii April 2-9th, and as it is over my birthday, decided it would be cool to invite me to come along. I have to pay for my airfare and stuff, but I have a place to stay if I wanted to go. My parent's then said they would pay for the airfare as a birthday present for me. I'm like, well, when else am I gonna get the chance to go to Hawaii, except after I'm old and married and the kids have all grown and moved away.

I then got promoted to Assistant Manger at my job. This includeds a $1 raise. My first day at the new position, I was left alone in the store for 3 hours, and then had to train a new guy (yes, guy in a girls clothing store so you can imagine that I had to teach him ALOT), all while the store was fairly busy. I also managed to do 111% of our plan for that day, and sold 4 prestige cards. Depending on how they did on Saturday, it will be the best or second best day all week.

The cell phone, just I was browsing them and got convinced to get it. I got a Sony Ericson W810i. It looks like a camera on the back and a phone on the front. Takes good quality pics too, with options that are just like my Sony digital camera so I totally understand them already. It plays MP3's at the push of a button, and is just generally snazzy. AND because I signed up for the 3 year service plan, I get a free 4GB Memory Stick Duo Pro, which is the same kind that goes in my Song digital camera. So now I can take TONNES of pictures in Hawaii with my camera or my phone.

I wonder what will happen next?
