A little TRUTH for Ya

Things Happen

Guess what...I may get to bed before midnight tonight, I say may, I never know what will actually happen. I could get distracted, for instance the Sears catalogue is looking very good right now, I love to look through it and create my own wish list. Yay, how much fun is that.

Anyway tonight I went and played ROOK, one of my favorite games, I'm such a games person. My whole family is actually, it seems like the thing to do on a sunday night when the family is stuck in, or even when you have people over...you play a game. It's sometimes much more entertaining then watching a movie. But then a movie is good to watch when your cold, and tired, and just want to snuggle with a blanket.

It seems that my thoughts are all over the page, I apologize to anyone who actually decide to read this. I'm not even sure what I'm blogging about. ooo, I know I'll show you all some pictures, or atleast tell an interesting story from last night. We all went out, I walked in the dark, through mud and water. And I did NOT fall!! That's quite the feat considering it's me. Nick and Andrew both took care of me, It was either one or the other watching me, making sure I didn't fall. Then once we reached some sort of body of water, they decided to throw rocks, yeah they are 3 and have to throw rocks. It was rather amusing to watch, but it was fun. Of course I do have a picture of it. We then went and got food from Tim Horton's, which I thought I wanted something HOT, but then got something COLD, and froze my little ass off. (oops did I say that). Yes, and then I got to see my dream baby, and if you're wondering I'm refering to a car.

Now I know, I know nothing about cars, when I hear mustang, convertible, ferrai, and the bunch, nothing comes to my mind. But when I hear the word Corvette, I know what you are talking about. I have always loved corvettes, and no I'm not making this up. I wish I could show you the picture of my uncles corvette...oh it is a beauty. He used to take me driving in it, I loved it!! You have no idea the emotional turmoil going through me last night when I saw that red corvette, oh my heart just soared. I wanted to run my hand over it's body, but then I was very afraid I would scratch it. I was mesmerised.

So if I ever get a dream car, you now all know what that would be. What year or make, *shrug* I have no idea, but I don't think I would ever get my dream baby, so why start hoping now. Plus if I ever had the money for one, there are a few things on my list before my dream car...like for instance: My dream house, or My dream vacation.

IT'S ALIVE!!!

I tell you this, no word of a lie, my camera is ALIVE!! I am so excited, you have no idea how relieved I am. When I put that battery in today, and heard the little sounds and saw that lovely fuji fine pix symbol I could have cried. This means that I will not have to replace my camera, my phone as well has been revived, how I'm not to sure, cause I thought for sure it was fried, it was even making funny sounds. But it has survived. Anyway, Camera is alive and working just as well as it did before!! Here I'll even take a picture for all of you to see!!~

My Rook Fix

I finally got my Rook fix in last night. Lindsay, Kelley, Ryan and I played Rook. My favorite game, it's lots of fun. some people may not agree, but it is. You have to play if you've never played before. The game has become like an addiction, well maybe not I have gone most of the summer with out playing 8 weeks to be exact. Lindsay and I were winning last night, we played well, or the other team just played really badly :) Anyway it was nice just to get out relax, play cards and talk. That's the best thing about playing cards, is the conversations that arise while playing. YOu tend to learn something about a person when they paly cards, even if it's just their ability to bluff. Or how competitive a person can be, or how calm someone else is. You just learn interesting things while playing cards. I love it!!

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I've been able to update my blog straight for 4 days. I haven't had to work in 4 days, and it's getting rather annoying, especially since I want to work, I want money, plus it keeps me preoccupied. Means I do't have to think about school or the 101 things I probably have to do before it starts. Yay!! It'll be fine, I just got to keep reminding myself that, or else I may get a little overwhelmed. I could have a mental breakdown, even before school starts. WAY TO GO!!! I want to be excited, and I'm trying to convince myself to be excited, but it's just not working. I'm sorry I'm not excited, I'm a nervous wreck!! I think I might have taken on one to many responsibilities this year. Well it's me, of course I took on 1 to many responsibilities. Ok, I'm done now, you now know the truth, I'm nervous about school, not excited, NERVOUS!!

I'm Awake!!!!

I'm awake, I don't want to be awake, but I am. I'm wide awake. It is 7:45 am, and I'm awake. I don't have anywhere to go, or anything to do, yet I'm up and awake. What is WRONG with me?? See Mom came in to tell me I left my windows down in my car...ALL NIGHT. *I can be really stupid sometimes* Than when everything was fine, I crawled back into bed and was lying there thinking about Nursing Society, I do not want to be thinking about Nursing Society...I want to be asleep. Finally I just gave up, got up, grabbed cold pizza and started typing this blog. You'll probably agree that this blog has become a great work of literary art...

NOW...onto the subject of my closet. As some of you may know I had to clean my closet out yesterday, and if you know me at all, you know that I hate doing stuff like that, and it takes quite a while for me to accomplish a task like that. Well I did it, I finished at about 11:30 last night, but it's done. I swear there were probably things growing in my closet. Wanna know all the stuff I found in my closet.

LOTS of SHOES!! I forgot how many pairs of shoes I have, I knew I loved shoes, but this was taking it to the next level.

TWO bags of BEARS!! about a year ago I had to take all my teddy bears and pack them away because of my allergies...that was a sad, sad day in the LeBlanc household.

CLOTHES!!! who would have guessed that I would find clothes in a closet. I found lots actually, stuff I had thought I had lost. Like my pink Nursing sweater, or my little slinky black dress, and than there's always my old painting clothes found those way at the back.

SHOEBOXES!! There were atleast 4 shoeboxes in my closet, I don't know why I wanted to save shoeboxes, but I had them.

BOARDGAMES!!! I found board games, ever play the game Payday or clue, well I have them!

a BOX of PAPERS!!! I don't really know what is in this box, I didn't really go through it, I just kind of put it back into the closet...

SKATES!! My ice skates, that I haven't worn in 2 years I found them, they are a little rusted though, oh well it's not like I'm using them.

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!!! Many, many halloween costumes of many, many halloweens past. Luckily all I had to do with them was hang em' in the front closet.

and than JUNK!!! There was a load of junk in my closet, garbage, stuff that didn't even make sense as to why it was in my closet...like ribbon, or old bags, card envelopes, an old granola bar, and than just more junk. That stuff all went into the garbage bag.

Well by the end of cleaning I had 3 bags:

1. Contained CLOTHES

2. Contained SHOES

3. Contained actual GARBAGE

So now that my closet is clean, my mother tells me why don't I clean out my dresser now...Ha...Ha, uh, oh, not fair!!

It wasn't a joke...

Country Rock the Hill...we ROCKED it!!

I Survived the Hill (Part 2)

This is the completion to Lindsay's post, therefore if you want to know what is going on read hers first than come read mine. :) As you all know we left early Saturday morning, later than I had planned but that's my fault, I had to go get gas. It would have been very hard to get to moncton on EMPTY.

Than we went and got Heather, which I had to call her twice to figure out how to get to her house, even though she had explained it to me the night before. You'll see a trend with my driving and directions in this blog. Funny though, I was still the one driving on the highway to moncton. lol!!

We cranked up the music and headed off, stopped to go pee, I can't help it if I have to go and no one else does we have to stop...Scott said it perfectly, the driver has to be comfortable. We than arrive at my aunt's place unpack a little claim our respective places of sleep. And than head out.

Traffic of course was insane it took us 45 minutes to go from the highway to get to parking, and it's really not that long of a distance. We park, it's a good spot too, we get everyhing ready and start walking up the hill. Than all of a sudden everyone gets their tickets out, and my face goes white. I didn't remember putting my ticket into my other bag. I than tell everyone else that I don't have my ticket, we then spend five minutes trying to explain to me how to get back to my aunts place and than back again, yeah couldn't understand. So Scott drives and takes me back to my aunt's place, while Heather, and Linday scope out a place to sit. They did very well.

Luckily Scott and I arrive back in almost the exact same parking spot that we had left an hour earlier. We were very surprised!! And than when Lin and Heather told us where they were sitting, we were estatic, right down front, best place to be!!

Well we were enjoying ourselves exploring around, ran into Ryan Hughes, and then Robin Titus at 2 seperate times. With that many people I'm surprised we found each other.

Which reminds me, my personal bubble has grew tenfold since Saturday, I never realized how much I enjoy space until my space was taken away. But some of the people we shared space with were really nice, others not so nice. There were two nice guys directly in front of us. I sneezed on one of them, accidentily of course, and he turned around with a look of disgust on his face and I felt so bad. So I started apologizing, and than suddenly he smiles and we laugh a little, I brush his arm and we joke for the rest of the time. Plus later these two guys came to our rescue when one very drunk guy was getting mad at Lin and I for not moving. We seriously couldn't move. So the guys firmly told him to...well...F...off. I was ok with that. We than lost the guys and it was Lindsay and I to fend for ourselves, lucky for us, a fight broke out directly behind Lindsay during one of Alan Jackson's songs. I grabbed onto her for dear life, she was not going to be pulled into that brawl as long as I was standing. Than we enjoyed the rest of the night in peace.

Atleast until the RAIN came down. But that was it's own kinda peace. During "play something country" We're singing at the top of our lungs and dancing, with the rain just pouring down. Than when Brooks and Dunn came out and sang "BELIEVE" I could have cried, it was just so beautiful.

The most fun part though came after the concert, going through, the mud, and water. I swear we walked through a river that had formed on the side of the road. oh and if you looked back at the field it was just littered with STUFF, lots and lots of stuff. Shoes, chairs, garbage, bottles, clothes, anything you can possibly imagine was on that ground.

But it was all around awesome. I little painful, but I'll heal. And it was just aweome to get away for a day. (I was late for work the next day, but nobody noticed, I stayed later too, to make up for it. Yes, I know, I'm honest)

Well hopefully I won't do a concert like this for a while, especially the rain and lightening part. After all, becaue of all that water, my cell phone is nicely fried and my camera, well I'm still praying. Hope you guys enjoyed the retelling of my weekend. There will most definately be photos, and video footage posted soon.

Good Night,

Jocelyn

Babysitting

I think babysitting is what God created to remind you that you don't want any children. Usually babysitting intails just sitting around reading a book and making sure the kids don't kill themselves, those are the easy jobs, but every now and than I get the true babysitting jobs where the kids actually act like they would if their parents were there. As you could probably guess Connor tested my limits tonight. Let's just say macaroni on the floor was a fine moment this evening. Oh and the water that Rebecca split all over me was fun too. I truly love those children, and I realized tonight what it would be like with my own children, you love them, but you can't help getting mad every now and than. We survived the night, I was actually able to take a nap, I crawled into bed with Connor (he won't go to bed without someone there)so that was nice, meant I could get a little shut eye as well. I now need to go to sleep, I'm a little tired and I work in the morning. Jobs, why do we have jobs...oh yeah, that whole making money thing. lol

Good Night

August is Half way through

Well august is not completely half way through, but enough of it has passed that I know there's so much left this month that I have to do. But I have barely started any of it. For instance I still have things for Nursing to get down. Brush up on different methods of how to do skills, like how to insert a catheter. I can't exactly practice that one on anyone. After all, regular people don't need a catheter put in. Plus I wanted to do up some more drug cards this summer, or atleast read a few chapters in my pharmacology book. Than I need to plan events for the year for nursing society, that should go well. I'm looking forward to it.

Anyway, I haven't done much this week, hung out with friends, read an email or two, and lounged around the house. You'd think since I have all this extra since I'm not working that often that I should be using my time...yeah right, are you insane, me using time to do something I don't know maybe educational. Ok, I'm very tired, it might have something to do with staying up late every night this week. I have not gone to be before 2 am since sat. and this is Thursday night. I most definately need a good nights sleep.

Good Night

Night Shifts

I have a night shift tonight and tommorow night, I actually haven't done a night shift since my orientation which was back in June. So I guess I'm a little worried. The way night shifts work there's only one nurse or LPN on the floor and one RA (I'm the one RA) It gets really frustrating, so I just hope the nurse is understanding. But it should fine, I'm just getting worked up about nothing. Nothing at all. Plus, tommorow night will be my first 12 hour shift in over a year, 12 hours, is not a short shift. Especially if your trying to take care of 24 people yourself. Woohoo!! Sounds like so much fun doesn't it?? I'm on the floor where people are lucid and know what's going on, so through the night, you get "Can I have a glass of water?" "I need to go to the bathroom" "Can I get the bed pan" " I'm not sleepy, why do I have to go to bed now". Yeah it's a lot of fun. But it's just a summer job, it's money, it's a way to make money. and this way I can go to the beach on Sunday, get even more of a tan. Even though I'm all ready tanned, If you see my tan lines, you would be amazed at how dark I am.

Well I have no more to say, I'm just typing away to pass time. Can You Tell??

Considering I'm talking about my night shift, what an interesting topic. Are you bored to tears yet??

I still haven't eaten super yet, I do need something before I go to work. Than I have to bring something, because around 3 am, I get really hungry, It's as if that would be the time for my breakfast, and than when I get home I'm hungry again and I usually eat my lunch at that time. One time I came home from a night shift and ate a hamburger at 8 o'clock in the morning. It seems gross, but it's actually really good. Than once a have a full stomach, I lay down with my blinds drawn, a blanket and my fan on. It's the best way to sleep. I usually watch a movie. That way I can sleep through the movie, I know it's not logical at all, but it's the best way that I found that helps me sleep. Plus it drowns out all the noise of the day. You don't realize how noisy the daytime is until you try to sleep. Trust me...you hear every single car that drives by your house, the neighbors kids are so loud, and you can even hear the stupid crosswalk beeping. But hopefully tommorow I'll be able to sleep some. I haven't had any problems yet, maybe when I'm 50 and sleep is terribly important, that's when I'll have all the problems.

Well I think I've told you enough about all my sleeping habits, and eating ones for that matter. Atleast now you'll have a better understanding of what a night shift is like. And if you've ever done one, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

an interesting movie

Well tonight, I had Ryan Hughes over and we watched a movie. We thought we would rent a movie, watch it relax and enjoy ourselves. So we picked out "Mrs. Henderson presents" It was a very interesting movie. It's based on the a woman who's husband dies, and she uses the money she's left to open up a theatre in London. And than to bring the public in, she (It was the seventy year old woman) suggests to put naked women on the stage. So there was music and dancing and naked women. And surprisingly they show everything. And this movie was only rated PG. It says on the box PG!! I couldn't believe it. But oddly enough the movie has a really good story line, and you start to really care about the characters, (even the naked women) and it gets really dramatic because it's set during World War 2.

Therefore it was a very interesting, movie. It's worth watching, of course it would probably be a good idea to cover your eyes in a few scenes. I've seen so many naked people in my life it really didn't matter, plus I wasn't in mixed company. I don't know, if I had to watch that with someone of the opposite sex in the room, I would probably turn bright red. Oh well, that shows you my innocence. Anyway, it's a good movie, rent it and see what I'm talking about.

As you can see I've been trying to keep up with my posts, I've been doin' all right so far. Eventually I will forget that I have a blog, like I always do. Than remember it again.
I was trying to get some of my pictures put up, but this computer is so slow. Therefore no pictures, while I'm on the laptop!! Eventually I will post pictures again. Have a nice night.

Restlessness

I'm a little restless, I feel as if I can't sit still. I have so much on my mind. I think that's why I'm writing this out. But the funny part is I have absolutely nothing to talk about. I'm just restless. Restlessness is funny, you can be restless and know what's bothering you, or you can be restless, and have no idea why. It's like a feeling you get inside when you're not sure what's going to happen. Like the night before your first day back at school. Or when you have to pass in a big project, or you go on a first date. It's all the same feeling. You almost feel like your shaking inside, but you don't know why. Maybe it's cause so much has changed recently, which means I guess I'm growing up. Life it's crazy, coping with it is a huge part of it. Knowing where to go to find comfort is half the battle. Which is why I'm going to get off here, and open my bible. That's good place to start. :) I can always go and scrapbook I seem to have a knack for that hobbie.

Send me an email, I always need a distraction.

Stupidity at it's finest

yeah, well my shoulder hurts, have no idea what I did. I know there is a really nice bruise on it from when I smashed it against the car door. But that couldn't have done that much damage that when I lift my arm over my head a shot of pain goes through my neck and whole arm. I wonder if I slept on it wrong, would that cause the pain. So somehow I know this was my fault. Somehow...

It seems I've spent most of my nights this week staying up late and making sure I don't get enough sleep, but I truly don't mind, because once september comes. I'm going to be stuck in the house, the library and every other close quarters I can find to study in. So I say let me enjoy this time that I'm having this summer with no inhibitions, or limitations put on me, other than work. Let me do what I want to do. Take chances I haven't taken before, put my heart on the line and see if I win. And if I don't win, I still want to be happy that I didn't hold back. Risk it all, don't hold back, you never know what might happen. Sometimes life is so short why not enjoy the moments God has given us, and use every minute. I been given a gift and it's time, I might as well use it to the best of my abilities, so no holding back, no giving in, no moments of regret. Just livin' like there's no tommorow.

He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man what did ya do?
He said

I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then

I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu
And I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it
Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man ChuAnd man
I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
