March.16/14
Afternoon,
Well, seems like I have missed a weeks worth of blogging. Everything is getting crazy at school with only 7 weeks left, and so many tests to cover. Even as March break is upon us this coming week, I'll be doing more studying than anything else.
So, how is everyone? How did your last two weeks go? Mine; not bad. More school work than anything else.
Had daylight savings last weekend. Not too shabby I guess!! I love it and hate it all in the same. I love that the days get longer, and hate that it's still dark out when I get up in the morning! But Summer is upon us, so I'll keep my complaining at bay for now!
Been car shopping for myself, but there never seems to be a car in my price range that isn't covered in rust. I mean I am going through to be an Automotive Technician, but I don't want to spend a butt load of cash on a new to me car, and then have to put more money into it to make it run smoothly. And I absolutely refuse to buy a car that I will only get a year out of. I think that is the biggest waste of money ever. With the economy the way it is, throwing away anywhere from 2500 to 5000 dollars for a year long car is an absolute waste. Adams sister suggested that to me, and I wanted to slap her for it!! But then again, this was coming from someone who does nothing but waste money on frivolous things that she doesn't need. Again, who am I to judge?? But don't come to me and tell me that "even if you can get a year out of a car........ " Blah blah blah. I don't want to hear it. She then suggested I ask one of her neighbors if they're selling a car that they don't use. If there was a for sale sign on it, sure, but I'm not about to knock on their door and be like "Oh hey! My Sister-In-Law next door there noticed you don't drive that car. Want to sell it?" I don't know, maybe it's the way I was raised, or maybe I just have more respect for people than to ask if they want to sell something I don't know is for sale or not. That to me is like going up to a house you love, knocking on the door and saying "Hey!! I love your house. How much did you want for it?" It's absurd, but anyway.
So the whole reason I'm looking for a car is b/c we finally got rid of my little blue bomber! I jump started it, and drove it to the junk yard. It was bitter sweet for me. It was the very first car I had ever bought on my own, the first car to ever be put in my name, and the first car to ever go the distance people said it wouldn't. This car was a tow-truck with four wheel drive, and a snow plow on the best of days! I would bomb around the city in the middle of a blinding snowstorm just to deliver coffee or a lunch to my dad who drives a loader! It has towed my dad's Chev Blazer home from many miles away, without even batting a lash! It has taken us to many spots in the Maritimes, several beach outings, countless camping excursions, and more. I would absolutely buy another Kia. For the little amount of work I out into it, that car outlasted most. I put two timing belts in it, a few sets of brakes, a new rotor, rebuilt alternator, and tires. Mind you the body was in decent shape, minus the rocker panels, and the rear wheel fenders, but other than that, she ran like a top. Now in recent times, I've blown the exhaust off it (Well really I just blew the gaskets!), and the starter went. If I wanted to keep it, it would have cost me more money to fix it, than to buy a new to me. So the day finally came, and it drove her to the lot. I didn't wanna turn the car off when I got there, b/c It was really a bitter sweet ending. It was sad to see it go, but happy to move on to the next. I did however, keep one of the keys, for old times sake!! :)
Anyways, as I said, March Break is upon us, and there are so many things I would like to do, but I just need to find the time. There's toonie Matinees at Cineplex, swimming at the pool, indoor skating, bowling, etc. I need to find the time to do some of these, or my kids may go bat shit crazy!! And I also need to find the time to go buy a car!!!!
Regardless what the week will hold, I'm sure it'll be great!!!

Hello March!!!
March.3/14
Well hello March!!! It's been a year since we've seen each other!!! LOL!!
I freaking love that it's March!! Not only because of my hubby, and M.I.L's birthdays, but it means that the clocks "Spring" forward and the days start to get longer!!!
How are we all feeling today?? How was everyone's week?? Mine was pretty fabulous!! Got so much accomplished, and if I keep going the way I am, I'll be a shoe in for school, come September! The last week was full of excitment, both good and bad! I started another course, which I need to finish by may.2nd, but it's absolutely possible if I keep my mind to it! I started Trades Math, which focus's on Construction, Fabrication, Welding, Electricity, and Automotive. My instructor for Automotive said that if I took the course this year, then I would be able to have a free block next year.
Also last week, a very close friend confided in me that she may be pregnant. It was both happy and sad at the same time, b/c the person that aided in the pregnancy is a now druggie, and would certainly not help in any way, shape, or form. I don't know how she feels, b/c I've never had the option of aborting, and it's not like I would have anyways. I expressed to her that what ever desicion she made, I would support her 100%. I know her family dynamic and her parents would certainly have her out on her butt if she confronted them with this issue. Once we get all paper work back this week, I hope she will make the desicion that best suits her, and not anyone else.
Abortion. There's a touchy subject, and a severly debated topic. I am neither for or against it, but I do know that when I had my kids, it was something that I would have never even considered. It was something that just never crossed my mind. I know that in some cases it is absolutely nessecary to have such a procedure done, but in others, it kind of makes me mad. For example, my husband has a friend, *I think he's the biggest pile of shit on the face of this earth!*, and he was dating two girls at the same time. The one he was seeing the longest had become pregnant. He told her straight up he didn't want it and she had to get rid of it. Now with that being said, she "says" she wasn't allowed to have another baby for health reasons, and who are we to argue. She knows her body best. What really pissed me off about the whole situation was:
#1: He told her to get rid of it, b/c he simply didn't want it. Like if you didn't want to have another child, then you should have been smart and used protection
&
#2: When the abortion was done and over with, the chick had a few days to recover, which I guess is normal. She then proceeds to tell me that she was excited to have it done and over with, and after it was done with she had the "best latte of life!" How does one go about their day knowing that they just aborted what could have been all care free like that?? Mind blown!!!!
Now I know I said I was neither for or against, and I still stand by that. However, it's the actions that others take, say, and do that make me mad. Now in my friends case, should she choose abortion, then again, I will stand by her side no matter what. I also gave her other suggestions like having the baby and puting him/her up for adoption. That is something she feels would destroy her even more, so again, that's the desicion she chose. I feel like if it's something that needs to be done b/c of health, then so be it. But don't brag about the fuckin' latte you had right after!! To me, it seems kind of heartless.
So the second girl he was seeing at the same time also became pregnant a month into them screwing around. Only this time, when he said he didn't want it, she told him to fuck off and that she was going to have it whether he liked it or not. B/c she stood up to him, he apparently fell "madly in love" with her, and they are now married. The only reason he stuck around with her, was b/c he didn't want to get fucked over with child support. I'm sure their feelings have changed, or at least I hope, but I think their relationship is the biggest sham!! But hey, that's just my opinion!
I think it takes huge balls for a woman to say, "I need to abort a pregnancy". It's not a desicion that is taken lightly. It's something that, that person has to live with for the rest of their lives.
Anyways, so back to my week!! LOL! Went to my parents on Saturday to get some wood split and in the house. It's been almost a month since I've been home with school, surgery, etc going on, I haven't really had the time. Needless to say, I had one very excited puppy who would not leave my side. Even when I went to leave, he was going to come with!!! It was awesome to go home and just relax, and feel at ease. It always feels great to be home!!
K well, I have to get school work done!! Chat at ya'll next week!!!
