Today I've been thinking of writing all afternoon... but 4:45 in the morning makes you lazy.
So here's a quicky! (Get your mind out of the gutter!)
- First off, sun makes me so happy and I didn't realize I was missing it until it shone high up in the sky today and made me smile!
- After thinking about that, the song that, the title of this post came from became deeply rooted in my skull, and I sang it all the way up the road, dog in tow.
- My. Flight. Is. Booked.
----- I'm off this rock January 9th. First reaction- sheer excitement, followed by second reaction- PANIC.
40 days.
That is NOT a long time. I'm startin' to freak about everything that needs doing... but I must just take it day by day.
Either way. YAY!!!
- Had dinner with one of my long-lost-in-touch-with best friend today and got all caught up over a pair of Shirley Temples. Oh the memories.
- Ending off the night (early!!!-thanks to 5:30 am work day) with some cozy PJ's and a skype. :)
Much excited, nervous love!,
Hometown (for 40 more days) Panties. <3

Bitter Sweet
Well, none of my classes were canceled today, but I still found some time to update on the blog a little bit. As UBC panties said, there really is a bunch of other things I could/should be doing. But heck, this is important too. Finals are coming, and I don't even know if I'm am going to be able to make it. So many papers to write, textbooks to read, art assignments and then exams! I might die if Christmas doesn't come any sooner. And it doesn't help that parents like to play devils advocate. Like really? Aren't they suppose to just hold me and say 'there, there, everything will be okay'? And send me packages that don't include 'Herbal Tea for Weight Control'? Maybe thats too much to ask. Either way I'm excited for this long stretch of no sleep and studying to be over, even if that means making amends with the rents so they will accept me back into their home (this is an exaggeration). But until then, best of luck on your exams UBC panties, and, Hometown panties, I hope you find some time to relax. Only a couple weeks more ladies, until the reunion!
Being the Art student, I'm always finding new artists that express how I'm feeling in their own art work...so instead of a song of the day....mine will be Masterpiece of the Day... This ones by Daniel Lumbini...

Cancelled. Again.
Well for the 4th time this month, my English 110 class was cancelled.
So instead of being productive and studying for finals that start in 5 days, I thought I'd blog (not insinuating at all that this isn't productive, just enjoyably so when I should be doing something along the lines of psych or philosophy which is equivalent to gauging my eyes out)
But I thought I'd give you a quick lil' update on my little life. I have been so ridiculously busy the last little bit and am soooooo looking forward to the holidays when I will literally be care free.
But seriously, I am a paying student and I'm actually a little ticked my class was cancelled again!
Well in truth, I guess I'm just mad I didn't check my email sooner, so I would have been able to sleep in...I think that's the most aggravating part. I was up and ready to go before I read the email....piss me right off.
There's my rant for the day, hometown - I meant every word I said in that little quote from yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tattoo picture as well as the person who posted it on your Facebook wall :)
(yes this is an indirect shout-out to Miss Hailey and an 'I miss you/see you soon' :)
Yours in sleepiness and procrastination,

Stand Tall.
One of my dear friends knows me toooo dang well, and found this picture...
... and OMG I just have to have it. Haha.
I have always been against getting a tattoo myself unless it had some huge sentimental meaning, but this is just toooo cute and totally me. Besides the actual height thing... ;)
Anywho, it's just the cutest and I had to share.
Today was crazy busy as always, but a good busy today, and although I lost a babysitting job tonight, I gained a free evening that ended up including; lots of dog walking, jazzercize, food, and skype. So really where could we go wrong? Still have some chores to do, but sleep will sure come easy tonight!
One wiseeee, young friend told me today... *cough* UBC panties *cough*... "I miss you more than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow." How darn freaking cute is that!!?? Bah, I have the bestest friends. I'm going to miss them farrrr tooooo muccchhh! <3 <3 <3
Come adventure with me please? :)
Ps. I like this font better....
Tip of the day: Hug always, hug often.
You never know which hug will turn out to be your last. :)
Smiling with a sideways ponytail,

A Gift.
I had a dream last night which I think was an indirect gift from God.
I'll give you a bit of a background story first so you'll understand.
I had a friend, who I was in love with for the better part of 10 years. He was absolutely fantastic in every single way, but we went to different high schools, and although he still had my heart for awhile, I managed to kind of push it to the back of my head.
This summer on July 7th, he passed on. He fell asleep at the wheel and just like that his life was over.
I miss him like hell every single day I walk this earth.
But last night, I had a dream about him. I was at the church that we went to together for our whole lives, and he was there. But we all knew it was only for a little while. For some reason we all knew that he had to leave us again. So people came and went, and I stood at the back of the room watching him interact and talk to people, waiting for my turn to talk to him.
And just like that I had a moment completely alone with him. Everyone else disappeared and it was me and him. Not a single word was spoken, but he closed the distance between us and hugged me. If anyone reading this knew Victor, he gave the most amazing hugs. And for a few brief seconds, I was hugging him again. For real.
And then his family came, with wan smiles on their faces and he left with them, knowing this was the last time we would see each other.
Solemn and sure I went out to the parking lot, where I saw him and his family climb into their Volkswagen van looking so complete and whole. And I cried. Good tears, the kind that cleanse you, not drain you. And there was my grandpa beside me. Holding my hand, crying with me.
I woke up and felt one last salty tear roll down my cheek.
It was the best birthday present I could have ever asked for.
Thank you God.

Sigh...
Some days just deserve a sigh.
What a weekend. Aren't weekends supposed to relax you? I guess that's when you're a kid..
Friday I had no time to sit down for more than maybe 20 minutes let alone get some food.
I got up, showered, went to work, walked dogs, got gas, went straight to babysitting about 15 kids for 3 hours.
From there I went home and nearly passed out, but managed to scarf down some pizza (THANK YOU TO PIZZA FRIDAYS) and then rushed back to my real home (the arena) for the other half of my shift.
From there I went to the Christmas party which was the most fun I've had in a while, involving dancing (with and without stripper poles), laughs, giant snakes and ladders, presents, and rockstar shots.
Not to mention being called profanities, being tackled to the ground, and having cell phones thrown at me.
Sound fun? Well it was!!
Bed was an amazing place until 2 in the afternoon on Saturday.. but work came so fast at 5pm.
Working at the other arena under extreme stress conditions showed me just how much I love my KP family and how hard it will be to leave them behind.
Sunday was lazyish, but still making the $$$.
I wanted a nap... but hockey has snuck up on me... sigh... (see, it fits).
Tip of the day, (I'm gonna start doing these): Watch The Wiggles every once in a while. Relive your childhood. It's so worth it. :)
Sighs both good and bad,
Hometown Panties. <3
PS. Trinity Panties, way to follow the colour code... I'll fix it for ya! ;)

L.IF.E
Woke up this morning and stepped into my 18-year-old life.
The age old question - Do you feel any different? HA. No.
But it's the same every single year, but somehow, in the midst of feeling no different at all, I'm 18. Where did the time go? My little cousins where over today, and it was like I was looking at myself from far away when I looked at them. And when they say "They grow up so fast," It's no joke. And now I see where the tears in the parents eyes come from as they say it. It's not only because they are losing their baby girl, it's because they know that things won't be wonderful and naive forever. We're going to feel pain, we're going to feel remorse, we'll feel the weight of guilt and cry in sorrow.
And we're going to lose people we love. Yes, they will be ripped away, and grieved for. They will be torn out of our hearts leaving one giant gaping hole that nothing can fill, and a hunger for their company that can't be satisfied.
I guess this is a little morbid, especially in light of the fact that I am currently celebrating a landmark birthday. But hey, we're all entitled to a little masochism occasionally aren't we? Maybe I'm just feeling old.
