Rocked!

Well, Bon Jovi and Kid Rock were great!!

I didn't think I would really like Kid Rock but he is a really good entertainer!

Of course Bon Jovi was GRRREAT! He has beautiful teeth!

I had Buster's birthday party and things went fairly well. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I was a little stressed due to the fact that there were sooooo many little kids there. I am not used to little kids and there were 7 there, I think! There were alot in any case. I don't like it when people show up and let others look after their kids. Buster's sister-in-law did that and Im not their mom, so therefore, look after your kids!

I'll look after my own but it up to others to watch theirs....ugh.


We are getting ready to go on holidays and I am quite excited about it. I can't wait.

I'm also pretty excited about heading over to Wilma's for the weekend. I only wish Buster was home to go with. I am checking my four legged kid into the doggy hotel for two nights and am taking my lawn chair and some kind of meat and beverages. I haven't quite decided...steak and chicken or ribs....hmmmmm

Rock Star Hair

Getting ready for the Rock Concert!!
HA!
I got up this morning and half did my hair...just enough to get me to work, then when I go home this afternoon, I can finish it off forthat Rock Star look.

I was talking with my co-workers telling them about this concert and where it was. They started laughing.

Apparently, the concert is outdoors......SO.

This changes things. Eventhough, it is July, the weather here is rain. rain, and more rain. I will be taking the following:
Gloves, umbrella, winter jacket, touque, scarf, winter boots....I WAS going to wear rock star non-existant wear, but that's not going to happen...

I am however, planning on head banging it out in style though...bring on the big hair!

Well, for awhile anyway....

GM

The new GM started today here at my place of lovely work!

Im not sure about her...yet.

She was inquiring about MY job a few months ago and was told that the position was filled and was not about to come open. End of that.

Now, she has applied for the GM position here and is now my new boss.

I am curious as to how this is gonna play out.
Will she tell me how to do my job? Suggestions are fine, you can ask me but DO NOT tell me.
Will she stay out of my area? If she doesnt thats ok, gimme some input, but once again, I know my job, love my job so leave me to do my job.

I am presently, working on the new brochure for this season. I am uninspired right at the moment and am scrapping the whole thing and starting over.

We have some great talent lined up.
I am trying very hard to get Wilma's birthday twin, Bif Naked to come to perform here but she is not touring the month we need her to come. We are still opimistic though....she seems to be a genuine person and that is a good thing!

We are also getting three people who I have been after to come for quite some time as well and that is Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard. Two grass roots folk singers and the brother of Nat King Cole, Mr. Freddy Cole who's voice is spellbinding! I can't wait.

We are also getting The Arrogant Worms, who I have been wanting for awhile too. My wish list this year was granted!

YAY!

Awwwww.....

So, I was complaining to Buster how he never gets me anything and it's time that he got me a present!

He did!!!!!

Two tickets to Bon Jovi and Kid Rock!!


WOOHOO!!!!


Should I dress back in the 80's to go to this with the high bang hair or should I just go "in the now"?


Thank you Buster!!!!
It's a great present!!!!

Dealing

I'm not sure how to deal with a few things going on, I don't want to say in my life, cuz that sounds too dramatic, but my gut is telling me to be very, very careful.

I'm having a birthday party for Buster on Friday and I am going to be surrounding myself with alot of people that I personally do. not. trust.

My gut is almost in a knot and I am pretty close to being sick about it. I have all these people coming over who have not been very considerate of myself or Buster and still are called "friends" and "famliy".

They are trouble makers, two-facers, liars, and back-stabbers and I have personally got rid of those types of people in my life years ago. I try to surround myself with happy, positive and welcoming, sensitive humans.

I'm actually shaking as I type this, I have gotten myself in such a tizzy. I should know better, but because I offend easily by stupid people, I am on the defensive.

Instead, I will put on a happy face cuz it is for Buster and make the most of it. I only need to be nice, cordial, and only need to give as much as I am given.

I feel really bad that these people that are in Busters life, accept him, of at least I think they do, I have been fooled before, and I have tried to be courteous and polite and still get slapped in the face. They say they are happy for him, that he is finally happy and that I am a warm welcome, but they sure have a funny way of showing it, and Buster is caught int he middle and I hate it. I see in the future a choice may have to be made, but for now, all will be left....simmering.

Because everyone will be at my house, on my territory so to speak, I will give them one last chance. I only do this, because I do love Buster and these people have always been in his life good and bad. So, here goes....

I can not lose sleep over this......

Soooo......

So, what the hell was that about?

Wilma is right...

Tuesday...

Last night, I got a text from the ex about 6pm....6pm!!

Such an asshole. Anyway, that being said, he told me he was swamped with work...sure, ok, and would call me back ASAP! HA!

I will be placing the line bill on the windshield of his truck tomorrow.


Tuesday, is a little better. One of my Great Uncles past away on July 2nd. The man was 91! He was funny, smart and really, really witty! Being an only child, my mom and I along with my grama, headed to Strasbourg ALOT when I was small. I was always with those great aunts and uncles. I never played with the other kids....they kinda scared me...too rowdy and ALWAYS getting into trouble and I really didn't like having my ass tanned on a regular basis, so I didn't go with them, but stayed behind to help out in the kitchen, I mean really, how much help can a 5 year old do!!??

Ok, so I hung out with Great grandpa by the radio and we watched the women prep for...I don't know what, but we were always eating!

My one particular great aunt is not talking to my mom. She hasn't spoken to her since my grama died in 2007, and its over the dumbest thing! We were really, very close to this great aunt too. She stopped talking to my mom, cuz my mom still has my grama's ashes. My mom isn't ready to let go of grama yet, so leave her alone! Whatever.

Anyway, Great Uncle Fred passed away on the 2nd. He will be dearly missed by everyone. He always had a smile on his face and cracked a joke. I'm being selfish right at this moment, but when he gets to heaven, I hope he says Hi to my grama and grapa for me. I went to Uncle Fred's facebook page and there are a few requests on it for him to say hi to various people....he has alot to do up there!!

I also took the initiative today and facebooked the DHV an invitation to Buster's birthday party next Friday. I think its in advance enough.....I guess we'll see!

I'm quite doubtful if any come. My faith in them is not good. My trust in them is nill. My optimism is half empty.

They better prove me wrong!

I can't be nice much longer.

Well where do I start....

The weekend was full of....full of....ummmm. Huh, where do I start....let's start with Friday night.

Buster's mom gave me two free tickets that she won to the H2 Rodeo. Im not a big rodeo fan but like the beer gardens. Way more action in there than in the arena!

Once I got home Friday from work, I was gonna sit on the couch and watch the boob tube. I then texted Buster to see what he was doing and told him I was pondering about going to the rodeo to hook up with the Desperate Housewives of Veg. He encouraged me to go, so I did.

I drove out to H2 and stumbled around trying to find the DHV. There they were. A white truck was backed up, with the tail gate open. I know a tail gate party when I see one. So I walked up, said hi and just stood there. I'd say there was about 20 people around it, only three women that I knew. The three said hi, the one came and asked if I wanted to get a beer with her so away we went.

When we got back, the rodeo was over and the women were gathering things up and they all hopped in the truck leaving me and the other gal standing there. The truck stopped and Poverty opened the door and asked if T wanted a ride over to their camp....ummmm.....I was with T. They only asked T if she wanted a ride.....ummmm...can I come to?

Ok, so mood set. I knew where I stood. T told them that she would walk with me over to the camp site.

Now, really, do you think for one minute, I want to go over there and stay and partay?

So, let's recap.
1). Invited to a DHV candle/Arbonne/food/Jockey party and dissedby Arbonne lady.
2). Thinking about making good, deciding to host a party by inviting all - no one showed.
3). Getting a call from T's mom and giving me hell for not going to her jockey/candle party.
and now
4). Not being asked if I wanted to go to the campsite with them...

Am I being too black and white here?

I just don't think I fit in with these women. I really don't and I feel bad cuz Buster is friends with their husbands, but I just don't think like they do.

SO, I walked with T to the said campsite and the same 20 people were there and when I was done looking at my surroundings, I found that I was standing alone. Everyone was on one side and I, just I on the other. I felt like that out cast little kid in grade one that nobody liked. No one introduced themselves to me and when I approached them, I tried to introduce myself but that fell on deaf ears....I walked away...I left.

I felt like I was intruding.

I then told T that I was heading home and would come on Saturday night....I never went and on my facebook wall, Poverty asked where I was on Saturday and I felt like saying "who cares".

Saturday, I went to a Theatre meeting in Edmonton.
The meeting went fine until the end of it when I had to leave Edmonton.

I got lost.

I called Buster and he and his room mate talked me out of there. I was pissed off, nervous and hungry by the time I got home.

I got home about 7:30 and decided to go for the mail.

What I got in the mail was a bill from the phone company for a line that was dug on my ex's family farm...yup. I got the bill.

I don't even live there AND it was just dug this past month! We split officially in August 09 but were done wwwway before that.

Sunday, was a day of rest.

Today - Monday, I called the phone company, my lawyer, and the ex.

Now, let's see what happens.


Happy Monday to you!

Parking and camping

Well, Buster, Kiddo and I are booked in to go camping!

Yup.

We booked 3 nights at Lake Louise, 3 nights at Banff then off to Drumheller for 2 nights, then home.

We leave end of July and are back mid August....

I have never gone camping in a 24 foot trailer before. To me, thats almost cheating. To me, camping is either tenting or going in one of those soft top canvas, hard bottom trailers. That is the way mom and I used to do it. We would pack "Harold" up and head out. Take the old coleman stove, the kerosene lanterns, food and water and just go. We used the fire we built to toast our bread, used it to make campfire coffee, for burning marshmallows, for popcorn, even for boiling water for general use. We used to either sponge bath, head into the lake or tramp over to the public showers to scrub up. Now everything is in the house trailer...is that fun?

I'm not sure, but I guess I'll find out.

The question is....
who will come back alive!?

Canada Day Weekend

Hope you all have a great Canadian Weekend!!

WOOHOO!!!!
