I just finished watching the Grey's Anatomy season finale and I just don't know what to say. I have always been a huge fan of Christina and to see her ....like that....I broke down and cried. As she was listing off all the things missing of Burke's I realized she truly does love him with everything she is capable of.
I'm so drained right now. That show drives me nuts with all the self destructive tendencies of everyone. But that's the very reason I love it. It's a love/hate relationship. The most addicting kind. =)
That's all I got to say right now.

Mother's Day
Friday
I went to the mall with Amber in the afternoon. We were there for 2 hours and I only found 1 outfit. I'm so fussy. I need more work clothes. I think I'll go again this week.
In the evening we went to Kevin's monthly group astronomy meeting at the U of M. Normally I enjoy it, and I did enjoy the lectures up until about 8:30 when the lecture was on some pretty detailed observing tips for dim sky objects. I couldn't keep awake. I think everyone noticed me falling asleep in my chair. I enjoy the amateur lectures more. That stuff went way over my head.
Saturday
I went planting seeds at Kevin's parents garden on Saturday. It was fun. I planted lots of things: beans, romaine and leaf lettuce, carrots, peas, spinach, beets, strawberries, cantaloupe and I was going to plant potatoes and garlic but we forgot to bring those seeds. I can't wait until they start growing. I'm going to have to take pictures. Kevin's Dad insisted I have a couple glasses of his homemade red wine afterwards to celebrate the planting. Well, he didn't really have to twist my arm. I love that wine.
Sunday
Today we had a Mother's Day brunch with Kevin's family for his step-mom. Kevin and his brothers made waffles and whipped cream. It was delicious. My soon-to-be niece is getting quite mobile now. At 15 months she can walk now if you hold her hands over her head. I like this because it's my first real experience with a baby. I walked her around the house, and even picked her up today. I was so relieved! It was easier than I thought it would be. Also, I wasn't scared like I usually am to pick up or handle a baby.
Afterwards I went by myself to visit my parents. I bought my mom a really nice card that made her cry and hug me. =) I also bought her a nice assortment of roses in a small globe vase. I thought they were so beautiful in the store I had to buy them.
We had a nice casual dinner of caesar salad and chicken fingers. Then we had cheesecake with fresh strawberries for desert. M'mmm. I love strawberries.
This evening I also went swimming for the first time since last October. It was refreshing. I'm going to try and go at least 3x a week to get in shape and lose some weight.

Update
Wow! It's been a long time. I'm a big slacker.
So what has happened since last time? Well, I just finished watching Traveler. I just didn't turn the TV off after watching Grey's (amazing!) and started watching this show. It is frickin' amazing! I am a huge sucker for any show involving conspiracies, whether they be government related or not.
I got my exam mark today for my FA1 exam. 91.5%. Awesome. So they round my final grade off to 92%. I've also decided to drop Economics 1 over the summer session. I just have too many other things on my plate to have to worry about that course as well.
I'm getting laser eye surgery. I went for my consultation on April 20th. I am a candidate, no problems with my eyes. That consultation was crazy. I have never had people shine so many bright lights in my eyes, nor so many eyedrops, nor so many little probe thingie's poking my eyeball, in my life. I'm getting the Wavefront procedure done, it's on sale right now, instead of the regular $3500 it's on for $1990. I cannot wait! I've been wearing glasses since grade 5. This is going to be amazing! No more taking off my glasses in the rain, or for swimming, no more having to worry about buying expensive contact lenses that end up being uncomfortable after 2 hours and I have to take them out on break at work. No more waking up in the middle of the night, looking at my alarm clock and not being able to read the time.
I've decided I need to start exercising also. I am so out of shape it's pathetic. In Amber's apartment there's this 85 year old man who goes swimming every single day. His legs are like twigs and he needs a wheelchair to get around, but put him in that pool and he can go for half an hour. This guy is in better shape than me. Imagine how I feel.
Also, I got a 75 cent raise at work. That was cool. Unexpected. I love my job. It's the first job I've ever had where I don't hate it and wish the company would shut down so I could get laid off. Well, that actually did happen once, but I didn't mind that job. It was pretty slack, I gotta admit.
I hung out with Karen last Friday for the first time in like 9 months. That was horrible. It shouldn't be that tough to get together with a friend. We ate at Chamberlyn's. I've never been there before. I ordered the quesadilla. It was delicious. That was also the first time I parked in the Winnipeg Square parkade. That place is crazy. I got so lost looking for my car at the end of lunch. Then when I found my car, I couldn't find my way out of the parkade. Lol. It was strange for me because I have an excellent directional sense. It was strange being lost for once.
Anyways, I finished reading The Constant Gardener. Amazing book, I liked it more than the movie. Now I actually have to go and buy the movie. I swear, I want to punch corporate greed in the face. When I put down that book I wanted to go to Africa and fight the fight, join a cause, protest, petition. There is just so much injustice in this world I can't stand it.
I also hung out with Amber a lot this week. I'm going to miss her when she moves to Edmonton.
Well, I guess that's it for this update. I've gotta go to bed now. I was woken up at 3:30am by someone yelling "Whoooooooooo!" outside our apartment. I wanted to throw something at them. I didn't fall asleep until after 4:30, then I was up at 5:30. I dragged my ass out of bed, did everything so slow, then I had to run to the elevator, across the lobby, and go the bus stop.
