Trip to Canada

So this past weekend My Cousin Graduated from High School Valedictorian. My other cousins from Norway came to visit. It's only their second time to America. They'd never been to Niagara Falls and I haven't been to the Canadian side since I was just a kid. So since I had two days off, I took them up in my new car ( 04 white Taurus). We stayed in Ross's apartment in Buffalo. We went to the Anchor Bar and then we went and saw MY SISTERS KEEPER... SAD SAD movie but SO GOOD... I recommend everyone to go see it. But bring tissues... We got up and went to breakfast at Panos. I had difficulty explaining what French toast, Belgian waffles, and Cheese. How do I explain cheddar cheese? IDK. So Then we headed over to the Border. Got asked a million questions about who we were, where we were from, how long we were staying for, etc. Then we found the falls and went and got wet on the Maid of the Mist. It was so much fun. And finally a day without rain!! We got lost in Canada trying to find the Rainbow bridge to get back to the USA... Lol. So then we packed up and headed home. Needless to say, I treated the girls to a lovely stop by the NY State Thruway Police because I was going 80. Oh well, he made me get out and asked us a million questions, but let us go with a warning THANK GOD. All in all it was a fun day.

Boring Life

SO I know it's been awhile... But honestly nothing interesting has been going on. I live at home, go to work, make my parents upset cause I dont spend enough time with them because of the hours I work, hang out with Collin when I can, pay bills. Thats about it. I did happen to get a second job at the Children's Annex (where I worked last summer) working with autistic children which starts Monday July 6th. I can't wait. I loved that job number one but number two, that means more money for me. A second pay check. Maybe then i'll be able to pay off this debt faster.. hmm... yeah I dont know. It's been a month already and it's a slow pace here. But at least i'm making progress. Thats a plus. And i'm getting closer to my friends at work. I'm slowly being inducted to the full time circle of people at Hannaford, where everyone knows everyones business if u let them. lol. Anyways, I guess I wont be coming to the family reunion. It's not my say and I'm really upset over it. But I guess it's probably a blessing in disguise. No worries, I hope to be out there to visit within the year with Collin. It's off to pay the cell bill and then to work again. Ugh... Work, sleep, hang out, sleep, work.... it's never ending lol
