Me and Nathan's Day In Victoria

So me and Nathan (a long time ago) went to Victoria to get me a tattoo....

first, Nathan sexually harrassed this mountie-bear (actually the belt was undone so he was doing it up)...

...then, we noticed that the big mural at the bay was a MAN IN A SPEEDO......then I actually got the tattoo...

...the end

J.K....just killin'........

i'm sitting here at work, on my break... bored out of my skull, and have absolutly nothing to report. my life has become such a routine! everyday of the week i know what i'm doing because... that's what i always do! i'm like the most boring person on the face of the planet now...so there is no point in asking me what's new or what i've been doing with myself...because it's more than likely what i did last time you asked.

I THINK I NEED TO LEAVE DUNCAN.

this is lame. nothing is spontaneous anymore.... just routine.

and i'm getting REALLY sick of it.

the countdown to may, and calgary, begins...

163 days until may 1st...

It's that time again! Have fun doing your shopping kiddies, and remember: you probably won't get something from me...because I'm poor! :)
(unless it's cookies)

...and the final answer...

ok I dont know what Im going to do with my life....

but how does Calgary come January sound guys????

What Should I Do with My Life?

Please help me decide this one....I'm starting to go insane.

- elementary school librarian
- crocodile hunter II
- interior designer
- children's book writer
- administrative assistant
or
- housewife (even though I failed housewife school...)

K ready set go....what should I do...????????

Kay FINE!!!!!!

....because I have APPARANTLY offended a million people, I figured that I should frigging apologize for it....even though I really don't care about what any of you think.

So this is my public apology...to everyone except Chris Blenkin...I don't really care how you feel.

So there. I did it. I'm never saying sorry for that ever EVER again.

About freaking time

So I heard that the croc hunter died. Really, if you ask me???? About time. The man was BEGGING to be done in by some kind of animal. I'm just glad that it wasn't a boring senerio, like a croc biting his hand off and him bleeding to death...

Funny story, did you know that if he didn't try to rip out the barb himself, he would have survived? ha loser.

Ok yeah...sucks for the family, but that's what you get for marrying the worlds most retarded celebrity.

Australia can be cool, once again.

I'm coming home..

A lot of people have been asking me about what I'm doing this fall... slash the rest of my life.

Here it goes (last I checked)

1. Go home and live with my mum (super cheap..and you ALL know I love curfews!!)
2. Get a job...or more than one...I'm that poor and I have that much time on my hands.
3. If all goes well, I'll pick up some classes at Malaspina (Mum doesn't charge rent if I'm in school!)
4. Live to see next summer....I hate winter and if I get hypothermia I might take my own life. Or looking back on my track record in life....snowboarding MIGHT just do me i this year.
5. Get a sweet tan...(Did I hear a Caleb say AUSTRALIA?...or was that Italy?)
6. Go to Malaspina full time next Spetember....haha spetember? Sweet. Yah I want to get my BEd. MMmmm bed....super tired...
7. Get married....no Neil..I won't die alone... SO THERE! BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
8. Live to see my 73rd birthday...

That's all I got..

Now here is a sweet picture of me and a pitchfork

I Cook Peoples Food...

hehe

Anyways, I'm now at qwanoes....dispite the love/hate thing and the "im not going back" thing. Im here for the rest of summer basically. Right now, im in the kitchen...well not NOW now...this week Im working in the kitchen - and challenge course. So if you want me ... come here and see me. Im in a bubble that doesn't seem to be poppable from the inside.

kailem, Malissa, chantelle....this means you..

rachael..Im not in Rm304 .....308 poop

Look on a map...

...and see how far it is from Lethbridge, AB to Swift Current, SK....
I drove that from 2am until about 7am...

bring on the red bull


and yes... my family drove (in mum's civic) to Winnipeg. Me, Jackie, Garry and my mother. HAHA.. what a gong show.

Anways, thanks to my midnight driving, we got here monday evening...and alive...kinda.

I saw a bear though...and deers...and foxes and elks...AND A WOLF...but it was dead...and I killed some small animals while driving, which makes up for the NOTHING i killed in Surrey. Anywas, we got here and it's bezautiful...but I'm allergic to Canola flowers...adn there are tons here so I'm sniffling.

On a total serious note though, this place is where my heart is. Not that I would move here...but all my family on my mum's side is here...including my Baba Annie (Great Grandma)
It was great to see her again, as it might be the last time. She'll be 95 in February...and drinks like a fish! Anyways, me and her sat on her front steps, had a beer and gossipped about family. She gave me so much life advice...also telling me to "get on it" with finding a husband...haha..thanks baba. Really though, she's an amazing woman. She has been through so much in her life and it's absolutly facinating to hear her stories. Wow. Also, she has such a sense of humor! She's totally hilarious. I love her with my whole heart! It was just really cool to see where I come from and to see some heritage. If I'm anything like her when (if) Im that old, I'll be so happy. As old and wrinkly as she is, she has this beautiful glow in her.Her eyes are soooo blue and sparkly and she has a gorgeous smile. I'm so proud that she is my background.
Well baba, I guess I'll get on it ;)

my day tomorrow

sitting on the porch...


...sunbathing...


...with a 22...


...waiting for small, unsuspecting animals to pass me by...


...except they won't "pass" me....

...they'll be dead.

If you haven't noticed...

I gave my blog a facelift...

I'll try to keep more "on top" of this blog thing....it's been a while, so to get back in the groove of things might take a while... we'll see

Oh....so I thought that I wouldn't get a sunburn here because Australia was all hardcore withtheir 'no o zone' and such...anyways, thats a lie..

aloe vera? My new best friend.

Shannon...consider yourself forked....happy late bday

Happy 50th Old Man.

Well...my dad turned 50. My mum and sister showed up at the party making it the first time in like 5 years we've all been together...and the first time in 13 years that my mum came to Surrey to hang out with all the people she used to be best friends with. Fun times. So yeah. This is photo evidence I guess...

all's well that ends well...

well....the end of another chapter in Barb's book of life...
Grad dinner was a lot of fun before, during and after....
beforehand, the girls dorms reeked of perfume and hairspray and the halls were filled of half dressed girls screaming for things....fun fun fun. Then an hour of photos...which is when I got into the "boys only" picture!
Dinner itself was amazing (staff did a steller job!) and Josh (my date) made the night a million times more fun for me. (Cheers to squished ants Joshie!)
Afterwards we all hung out in the main lounge for more pictures...then we cranked dance music....the waltz! hahaha
So yes...capernwray is done - life as I know it? Gone.
But if the saying "all's well that ends well" is right...then all is heaps awesome.

MY OWN MOTHER...

has a blog...and there are 4 pictures of me from Australia.
barbandjackiesmom.blogspot.com
If you are desperate to see my beautiful face in pictures, talk to my mum and she can probably send you a cd of the pics.

ciao for now!
