Here's a couple pics, I have lots more, but here's a couple. You can see more at this site. Lots more information there too! This site also has some really great pics.







This is how you get your breakfast delivered...

So I'm sitting here talking with a friend of mine looking at pictures of the islands in the French Polynesia and I think I'm in love. I really need to go there. Bora Bora, Manihi, Tahiti, Moorea, it doesn't matter. These places are a perfect paradise for sure. Crystal clear waters with brilliant fishies, white sands, sweet smelling air, beautiful scenery and everything else. I will gather some pics and info to share later. I just may be a lucky girl, we'll have to see. Later Gaters

I don't like posting when I don't have something of good substance to say. So I guess you can say that I have been lacking substance for awhile now...lolol.

I lost me internet connection for about a week as my modem puked, so that sucked, but it wasn't too bad. They had a new modem sent to me withing 24 hours which was really great, I was impressed. The problem was, the postal slip said I could pick it up after 5pm. Well that was New Year's Eve day, and I worked until 9:45 and everything was closed by 5 anyway. Saturday was New Year's day and Sunday the post office was closed. So I had to wait until today, quite the happy girl I am!

How was Christmas and New Years for everyone? Christmas was good for me, it was fairly low key but nice. I had Christmas day and Boxing day off which made my Parents ver very happy as that rarely happens. I got to spend the whole time with them and the rest of me family. It was really nice to see my cousin Jeff who just got married last year. That was the only occasion that I ever wore a dress last year, quite the sight I must say...lol. His wife is so sweet, I am very happy for them. I didn't ask for anything for Christmas, I just don't need any more stuff around my place. But I did get some things anyways. I got the printer/scanner/copier/fax all-in-one unit that I really wanted to get for myself, so that was really nice. Other than that, a couple shirts, socks and other miscellaneous stuff. Not too much, which is good.

New Year's was a totally different story. Wow...Just wow. i worked that day and then went home, changed, then went out. It was the first time that I have gone to a bar on a New Years in probably 6 years. We drank, we were merry, VERY merry I must say. Then a couple of us went back to my friend T's house. Well we didn't have any more beer so we drank up a few bottles of Carolanne's, in shots of course. We listened to music, laughed, danced, sang and all that drunken stuff you do when you're feeling like a nut. Then we looked at the time and it was something like 11am. Whoa!!! So we drank some more and then went for breakfast. I didn't go to bed until about 8:30 the next nite. I slept for 13 1/2 hours, one loooonngggg solid sleep. All is well now, I am back on an even keel, for now anyway. Me and T haven't done that in quite a while, it was fun to hang with a few people and be idiots for a while, I think I miss that.

There have been many Birthdays over the last two months that have needed celebrating, perhaps that is why I haven't been on here much. There is another one this week too. Hopefully that will be the last one for a while. I just keep meeting new people, perhaps not a bad thing, but man....I realized the other day when I went to work how many people I do know, and just in that place. I walked in and within like 5 minutes, I counted 10 people that said hi to me. I really made me think about the people who actually give a shit to say hi, how are ya? and actually wait for a response. All of the ones that day waited, that was nice and made me feel pretty good. I always wait for a response when I ask how someone is, I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know. There are also other places that I go where that happens too, makes me feel pretty damn lucky to have people that give at least a lil bit of a shit about me to initiate a conversation. That gets overlooked many times, by many peoples.

So I think I am going to get some stuff done today that has been overlooked for the last few days. I hope everyone is doing well.

Toodles!

Hi all, a lot of the sentences in this will start with the word "I" in this post, I realize that I have stated that I don't like that, but this is about me. And I am feeling a lil bit indifferent lately.

I must apologize for my lack of presence here. I don't even know if anyone reads this anymore. I have been finding it very hard to produce something worthwhile here, something with some good substance. And that is what I prefer to post. I really do not have much new happening with me to tell you all. Life is okay. Work is okay. Perhaps I have just been bored. I need something new and exciting in me life and just cannot seem to find it. Maybe it's because of my up and coming Birthday that I am feeling this way. The last couple of Birthdays have been that way for me it seems. I think that I am still in a stage where I want to have fun all of the time and haven't really gotten the ambition to be serious about things. Not that I am not supposed to have fun, but I am feeling that I should be, or should have...accomplished more by now. Perhaps it's the precedent that my parents and I had set for myself a long time ago and I have not completely lived up to it. I have indeed accomplished many things, and I am not sure what it is that is missing really. But there is something. I have done lots of things already, and I have many plans for later in the future, but I seem to have a blank spot for this timeframe. My direction is wherever the wind takes me right now, and hell it's getting windy. At times it seems that I just keep blowing around in circles and hitting walls and trees for some reason. I am a good girl, I try to keep out of trouble, I have loved and have the capacity to love much more. I can be smart and witty, I can appreciate something in everything. I like to keep things different, exciting and intriguing for me and those around me. There is always something new that I learn every day of my life. I try not to speak when it is not needed, and try to maintain my own self dignity at all times. I am very determined, I don't give up easily. I try to say something nice, or doi something nice for someone every day. What's wrong with all that??? What I ask!?!? Perhaps I am a bit shy and lose out on a lot because of it. Sometimes paying attention to things and watching can make you much smarter. Abraham Lincoln said "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.". I do find myself making my mind up that way all time time lately. The problem, as I see it, is that one shouldn't have to proactively decide that ALL the time. It must sometimes just be natural. It is true tho, as I have said before, everything is a decision. Every decision you make results in something and WILL affect someone. So not every decision should be made without at least a little thought. When you make a decision such as one to be happy, it must be an honest one, a deep-down honest one. I do find that be be very hard sometimes. I have always believed that everyone needs to be completely comfortable being on their own and within themselves in order to share themselves with another and be happy. I am comfortable, but I don't like letting myself be too comfortable as I like to allow myself to have some sort of...something...in order to keep myself on my toes and exercise my brain. However, I think that may be what is my downfall at times. I am really not too sure. I am thinking a lot lately it appears. Today and tomorrow are my days off and I plan to get everything done that I can as I have Fri. - Tues. off for me Birthday. I want to be able to just let go of everything and have some fun and do whatever the hell I want and not worry about needing to do anything. I am looking forward to it. I really have no plans and I do hope that all will work out well. I kinda like the no-plan thing tho, spontaneous shit.

So now...I am going to do my laundry and choose to be happy about it, I am going to do the dishes and choose to be happy about it, I am going to get groceries and choose to be happy about it, I am going to vacuum and choose to be happy about it...and then I am going to get a coffee and be VERY happy about it, that I do not have a choice in.

Take care everyone

Liz

Does anybody ever get sick of thinking and hearing that stuff??? I don't want to hear it anymore.



The End.

Sad...tragic Superman

Well I did it! I went to a golf tournament on Sunday and played a full 18 holes!I have never played golf before in my life and I just got put in this tournie. I was pretty worried and a bit scared at first as I didn't even know how to hold a club. So I went to the driving range on Saturday with some friends and practiced a bit. I do suck pretty bad, but I did manage to hit a couple of good ones. So then...off I went to the Willows in Nilestown for a day of golf and beverages. I started off pretty bad I think. I can't drive very well. Seems I can't get enough air under the ball, but that was okay for the most part as I did get some good distance. One of my balls went about 200 yards too, apparently that is really good. I am pretty happy about that. We played in teams of four and took the best ball and carried on from that one. We used like four of my balls too. I was quite good at the putts. I seemed to be able to aim pretty good there.
This is the course we played...

One of the highlights was the golf carts. I haven't driven one of those in sooooo long. I scared Rachel (friend on my team) pretty good sometimes lololol. Hmmm, maybe that was because we went a little sideways off a bridge...hehehe. Those carts are crazy fun. But then we got beer and I had to be more careful. There is a girl that goes around on a cart that sells beer, but we only saw her once. So we sent the girl taking the pictures to get us more. I don't mind golf at all actually, I had a shitload of fun. After the golf course, we all went back to the bar and had a huge steak dinner. And I mean that steak was HUGE. It was so good too. Then we all just partied for the rest of the night. I also won an Alexander Keith's shirt and hat and a couple other shirts too. Our team came in fourth. Yay for us!!!!! All in all it was a really great day. I will look forward to it if it happens again for sure. Now today is a different story, my forearms are still rock solid and I can't lift a thing. My wrists feel kinda limited too. I have to get me cats litter and I really don't think I can carry it at all. This will not be good.

Well this is day 3 of my four-day weekend and so far I have enjoyed every bit of it. I do have to get some laundry and tidying done. But that will likely be all I will do as I am not too sure that I can even get that done. I hope everyone else had a good weekend, for those who actually had a weekend. Regardless, hope all is well in the world with everyone.

Toodles!
