A day at the ZOO

D had promised me that we would go to the ZOO and today was the day.

I got to be a giraffe.


D got to be a lion.


I got to ride an elephant.


D flew a plane.


I got to sit in a kangaroo's pouch.


D fought with an alligator.


Seriously here a few goods pics my cheap camera was able to take. I would of loved to have a good camera and to be able to cross a few gates, but I did not want to be electrocuted or to swim through the little swamps that separated us from the animal.

You remember Melman from Madagascar.






Of course you all know Alex the lion king of New York; He was in the neighborhood so he stopped by.




The plumpy and chunky Gloria.








We finish out the day with a stop at a ice cream stand.
I had a great day, not too many people and not too warm outside.
It was very nice spending this beautiful day with my lover, enjoying every minute together.

Life as a single girl 6/6

Today was my last single girl day.

Went to work as usual.
Then went to get a surprise for the boyfriend at Le Point G (thanks Chiquita)
Cleaned home a little, then ate, then cleaned me.
Watched a little tv and played with the cat again.
And I am now leaving for the airport.

I enjoyed the days alone very much, it is fabulous to have some alone time even if you do nothing, but I am so happy to go get D:)

Life as a single girl 5/6

Very boring day.

Hellish day at work.
Quick dinner with my sister
Spanish class
Chat with boyfriend on msn
Play with cat
Sleep

Life as a single girl 4/6

Today was a hard day, with a little bit of good.
Here's a mix of a little bit of everything that happened.

Bad sleep again, low staff at work, lots of tension.

I went out with a friend for dinner, which was very nice. We chatted for few hours about this and that. I think this guy will be a friend of mine for a very long time.

I got another friend an interview today for a new job after losing his current job.

Spent 45 minutes trying to remove the ugly nail polish from yesterday and it is not all gone. Bad cheap stuff that doesn't want to go away and of course it's black so I look like I have dirty nails.

I cleared my credit card and now I am broke.

One of my girlfriends mother is living a rough part of her life health wise, but she is in a good period right now and it makes my friend smile, which makes me smile.

Spent over an hour trying to do my new short hair and I realized that I don't like short hair.

I don't feel like going to work tomorrow and I don't feel like going to Spanish class tomorrow. I just want to spend a lazy day in bed watching girl movies.

I miss my best friend, but reading my new blogger friends helps.

The cat doesn't understand me when I talk to him in French.

I hate Wednesdays, always have, always will.

I bought Halloween candy to give to kids and I don't know if kids come by in this neighborhood. So I'll end up eating them.

I wanted to talk to my boyfriend but he was with his family and I'd rather talk to him face to face. So the conversation was very short.

I gained another pound and I skipped the gym for another day.

I want a massage so bad, my body is hurting for everywhere.

I'm going to bed to continue reading a book I started.

Big brother is over

So tonight was the last episode of Big Brother 11.
Jordan, the little blond girly girl won.
It was a very good season, glad it's not Nathalie that won.

So my 2 months of watching tv is over.
The Montreal Canadiens are the ones that will be on the TV for the next ohh...8 months (little smiley face that is rolling his eyes)
Don't get me wrong I love hockey, but 3-4 times a week for 8 months, way too much.

Life as a single girl 3/6

I slept a little better last night, I think I was exhausted.
After work to day I went shopping for a computer case, cant find anything.
Then I went to get my car cleaned inside and out.
Came back home, changed and went back out.
Bought a new nail polish and magazine.
And I heard this Belgium chocolate box screaming at me so I had to buy that too.
Got home, ate dinner, talk a little on the phone with boyfriend.
Did my nails again and enjoyed my chocolates in front of the TV.
Tonight it is the Big Brother last show, so gotta go ;)

Life as a single girl 2/6

Last night was my first night alone and I slept like shit.
My stomach was upset all night all the way till noon today.
I don't know if it's because I was a little paranoid of being alone in this big house, no 6'6 boyfriend to kick the bad guys asses.
I still went to work this morning and did my job.

After work I went to my sisters for dinner with my family.
Came back home after flipped some magazines, watched Tv, played with the cat, went through pictures on my new laptop and did my nails.

I know I haven't done much girl stuff yet and I don't know if I will.
So far the part I love the most is that the toilet seat stays down :P

Life as a single girl 1/6

Just a little after noon I drove my boyfriend to the airport.
He has a entire week of flights and presentations through out Canada.
He has 11 planes to take in 6 days. The good side of the trip..he'll get to see his family and he'll have a girlfriend that will have missed him a lot when he gets back.

So yes for 6 days I am a 'single' girl :)
All week I'll keep you posted on my single life lol

What am I gonna do special? I have no clue. So far today I went clothes shopping with my sister, I cleaned the house and did groceries.
I am just gonna enjoy my alone time and try to do 'girl' stuff.

Any suggestions?

New laptop

Yay I finally bought my new laptop last night!
But guess what I am still writing from my old piece of shit.
My new laptop right now is not very user friendly with his *beeping* Windows Vista.
I wanted to wait for the ones coming with Windows 7, but I just couldn't and I should of. Right now I just feel like throwing the thing across my living room.

I'll ask my geek boyfriend to help me when he'll get up, but he is a Linux user, so I have an idea of what he will tell me. He already installed my a bunch of stuff I use lat night but not everything. Since I don't consider myself as completely clueless with computers I decided to install MSN on my own (which I have done in the past with no problems at all on windows XP).
Well I cant *beeping* do it with Windows *beeping* Vista. I've downloaded 3 times all the MSN live bullshit junk and in my start up menu I still have: Windows Live messenger Download. What the hell am I doing wrong? Ok I am French and I got the Windows Vista in English, but that has nothing to do with me not being able to install, I believe I understand English pretty good.

So yeah I could of wrote all of this from the new laptop (yay), but I just don't feel like touching it right now. I'd just want to delete all the stupid icons in the start up menu that I don't *beeping* need.

With the new laptop (yay) I did get a free upload to Windows 7 when this one comes out, which is apparently very good (cant be worst than Vista).

In the meantime if any of you have experience with Vista and can help me please do not hesitate to guide me.

***Update***
Thank you ladies for your mental support. Geek boyfriend got up and fixed my problem. Then I spent the entire day(12 hours) transferring files and reorganizing my stuff. Now I am too tired to enjoy the new laptop lol

Spanish

Last night I had my first Spanish lesson.
I was alone with the teacher as the 3 other students are teachers themselves and that it was parent night at their school.
So I had a private lesson for the first one and it was intense. I taught I was doing pretty good with my Spanish CD’s for dummies, but she went through everything I knew in the first hour of the lesson. It’s going to be very challenging to try to speak 3 languages, but I want to do it.
My goal is not to learn how to write it (I have enough of trying to write without any mistakes in French and in English), but to be able to speak it.
I’ll try to keep you posted as the weeks go by.

Hasta pronto!

Followers

Even if I have been blogging for a little while I am still fairly new to the world of blogging.
Lately I discovered the ‘’Next Blog’’ button and this is how I discovered many of you.
Then I realise that I could actually follow you guys without keep you in my list of favourites on my computer (as you must know my computer sucks and I am about to change it)
Then I realise that I could add the Followers box to my blog and see if I had followers. And I do! Not many but I do :)
This blogging world is like therapy to me and I am happy to know that I do have some people that check up on me once is a while even if I have some boring posts or French posts.

Sunburn

Yeah well my day yesterday was great, until I felt my face and my hands.
I am so burnt it hurts when I laugh, when I move my eye brows or rub my hands together.
And since I had my sunglasses on most of the day, I look like a raccoon. You can also tell that I was holding a fishing rod because of the way my hands are burnt.

Yes I did put sunscreen on, but I think that when I did it was already too late. So my bottle of aloe is my new best friend :(
It really hurts, I sure hope it will turn into a tan at least.

You guys have tricks to relive the pain instead of aloe? Aloe is so sticky.

Gone fishing

Today me and my boyfriend are taking my dad fishing.
It's the second year we do this and I love it.
To see how excited my dad gets makes it all worth it.
The past week he's been laying out his fishing rods in his living room.
He even bought a fishing rod for my boyfriend and gave him a little box full of fish anchors.
And the past few days he has been putting his alarm clock on at 6 am to be ready to get up this morning.
He is very cute and it makes me so happy.
Let's just hope that this year we do catch something, last year we didn't even get an attempt of a bit in 8 hours on the lake.

***Update***

The only fish of the day and I caught it, see jealous boyfriend in the back of the picture :)
