Ever felt like a third wheel when you were invited to an event? Most people have.
Ever felt like a third wheel when you invite others to an event? Well, that is what Saturday will feel like for me.
Me and my family are going to a dance in a town about 10 min from where I live. I have invited my best friend. Unfortunately, (and not in the bad way b/c I like him b/c he makes my friend happy) I had to invite her boyfriend as well. Now I feel like a third wheel and Saturday.
Don't get me wrong, no jealousy here, I'm extremely happy for her b/c he treats really really good and I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend for her. (Last one was a jerk)
Anyways, point is (question to you, I need help!) should I be feeling like a third wheel to an event that I invited them to?
Worse part is, I always feel like an outsider (third wheel) when it comes to these things b/c I feel that I'm all alone at the event (not that I am in anyway, just how I feel. I know that other people are there I just look around and it seems that I'm there all by myself and I don't know what to do.
Sorry, I didn't mean to rant like that, it just started to spill as soon as I started typing. Who better to come for an opinion and some advice then you guys. You know me but yet you can give your honest opinion b/c you don't really know me, you know?
So what is your take on my little issue?
Anyways, on a happier note, besides already feeling like a third wheel for an event that hasn't come up yet, I 'm really excited to go on Saturday b/c there is going to be an old fashioned band there and they play lots of dances that you don't normally see now. Like: The Fox Trot, Waltz, Polka, Jive, Two step, and many more! :D
My favourite dance to do is the Polka! On the turns my dad can lift me right off my feet. That is always fun. :D

P.S. Sorry again for my little rant up there!

Please, Don't Drink and Drive
A couple months ago a DJ on my favourite radio station read this. I only thought of putting this on b/c last night I was thinking of a friend that was killed by a drunk driver.
TTFN, Lexi :P
Someone Should Have Taught Him:
Mom,
I went to a birthday party but I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all, so I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself, the way you said I would,
That I didn't choose to drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.
I knew I made a healthy choice and your advice to me was right
As the party finally ended and the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, sure to get home in one piece,
Never knowing what was coming, something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement, I can hear the policemen say,
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk."
His voice seems far away.
My own blood is all around me, as I try hard not to cry.
I can here the paramedic say, "This girls is going to die."
I'm sure the guy had no idea, while he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive, that I would have to die.
So why do people do it, knowing that it ruins lives?
Now the pain is cutting me like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not to be afraid, tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven to put "Daddy's Little Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him that it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his mom and dad had I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments, and I'm so unprepared.
I wish you could hold me mom, as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say I love you and good-bye.

No New Glasses
So I don't need to get another pair of glasses. The ones that I have now will do just fine. My left eye changed a little which was what was causing the thing while I was driving. To fix that I am supposed to wear my glasses all day long. And if I notice a bigger change within the next year I'm supposed to go back to get my eyes checked out again.
Shopping
Tomorrow I'm going shopping with my best friend. I'll let you know how that goes when I get home. :D
Joke of the Day
The kids filed back into class Monday morning.
They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then share with the class how they were successful.
Little Mary led off, "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "my sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my success."
"Very good," said the teacher.
Little Sally was next, "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current events."
"Very good, Sally," said the teacher.
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467" he said.
"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?"
"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.
"Toothbrushes?" echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough toothbrushes to make that much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a chocolate chip cookie stand and gave everybody who walked by a free sample.
They all said, “This tastes like POOP!" Then I replied, “It is. Wanna buy a toothbrush?!!"
(Oh Little Johnny!)

Alseep at the Keyboard
So I have never ever done this not even in school! I fell asleep while I was typing a letter at work! :o I don't know how long I was out but thankfully nobody saw so I just pretended it never happened.
Point of the story is that I maybe only had 2 1/2 hrs sleep last night! Why? Because it was absolutely freezing last night! I even had to throw on another blanket even with my duvet on!!!!! :o
I have honestly tried to read all of you blogs and comment on them but I have been really busy over the Christmas break but now hopefully things will start get back to normal soon! :D
Eyes
Yesterday I was driving home (in the dark) and I noticed that I could barely see. Now, the sky was clear, moon was out and there was no blowing snow. It was blurry but not blurry enough to warrant pulling over and getting someone to pick me up. (I wasn't wearing my glasses last night) Tonight I wore my glasses home and it was a little better. But I did call my eye doc and got an appointment booked for Sat. Until then I talked to my boss and he is going to let me go early that way I don't have to deal with that. :D
Maybe I'll get a nice pair of spectacles that I have to wear while driving.

And if I get new glasses for driving maybe I'll get a new pair of reading glasses.
And I would put up a joke of the day but I have really big headache right now so this was only going to be a short blog!

How was your New Year's? What did you do to ring in 2009?We didn't go out to the lake so I spent the night in my room playing Wii with my cousin and we counted down, toasted with a glass of water (for me) and a glass of milk (for her) then we went to bed! :)
I made my first turkey dinner on Tuesday! It turned out really good, if I do say so myself! :D
Here are some picks:

Home From the Holidays!
I'm home! I got home from the cabin on Saturday afternoon. I would have written a blog then, but I had laundry to do, and I had to make sure my room was clean for when my cousin came.
We picked her up yesterday at noon. :D I am really glad that she is here. Hopefully, when she leaves this time I'll be able to see her sooner then before.
Christmas
How was everybody's Christmas? Mine was really good.
We opened presents in the morning.
I got:
From "Santa" I got a box of chocolate covered cherries and a cell phone holder in the shape of a black high heel shoe! :D
From mom and dad I got a pair of pjs, a Teddy Bear (All proceeds went to the Stollary Children Hospital*) and a pair of polka dot slippers.
From my dad I got a make-up kit. It has 36 choices of eyeshadow, 2 eyeliners, 2 lip liners, 2 mascaras, 4 lip glosses, 1 blush, and 8 nail polishes.
From my grandma I got a broach and some cash.
We didn't have the traditional turkey dinner. We had ham, scalloped potatoes and honey glazed carrots. :D I helped my mom cook the meal and some family friends that were also spending Christmas at their cabin came over for supper.
Other then that we spent the day playing board games. One of the best Christmases since I turned 17. :D (I'm 19 now btw)
We are going back out to the cabin for New Year's. And my cousin is coming as well so we should have a good time.
The Weather
The weather hasn't been that bad it was actually starting to warm up except today it has been snowing. :( Thankfully, me and my cousin got back to my house before it started to snow. (We went shopping. And no I didn't get anymore purses :D )
Oilers
I can't believe it! They actually won against the Nashville Predators! I guess a little holiday actually helped them! :D Hopefully, they can keep this up!

Joke of the day
An older blond woman heard through a friend that taking a milk bath is good for the skin, will cure stretch marks and make her beautiful again. So she left a note for her milkman to leave 15 gallons of milk instead of the usual amount.
When the milkman arrived, and read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought she probably meant 1.5 gallons so he knocked on her door to clarify the point. The woman came to the door, and the milkman said, “Yes ma’am, I found your note to leave 15 gallons of milk. Did you mean 1.5 gallons?”
The blond said, “I want 15 gallons. I’m going to fill my bathtub up with milk and take a milk bath.”
The milkman asked, “Do you want it Pasteurized?”
The blonde replied, “Nope, just up to my boobs, I can splash it in my eyes.”
Hope you have a Happy New Year! This will probably be my last blog of the year so I will talk to guys in 2009! :DTTFN, Lexi :P

Guest Packages and Dirty Dancing
Today I took my grandma shopping at Wal-Mart!
I am having company for the week of New Year's so I was putting together a package together for their stay. I got this from (who I think is) the best hostess: Samantha (Samhouse). :D Anytime, that I used to visit her here in Alberta she always had a nice little care package for me (or any other guest).
Guest Package:
In a small-medium basket put- (If a couple put two of everything)
1 Large Bathtowel
1 Medium Bathtowel (for hair)
1 Hand towel
1 Face Cloth
1 Bar of soap (your choice)
1 Purse Size lotion (your choice)
Tie with nice ribbon and place in basket. Place the basket on the end of a freshly made bed on a tray with a vase of real or artificle flowers. So I did just that and I made the fold out couch in the basement for her a few minutes ago since I won't be back to the house until we come home from the bus stop with her! :D
Have fun this Christmas with the packages, make them Christmas themed! :D
Anyways, while I was going by the Electronics Department (okay, I was in it. I needed a break from looking for a basket for above mentioned care package) I saw the 20th Anniversary Edition of "Dirty Dancing"! One of my fave movies (coming up in a blog in the new year)! I just had to get it (it was on sale)! :D
Name that Carol
Congratulations to no one! Nobody guessed last times carol! :D So,
Make mommy's life a song
Keep my daddy safe and strong
Let me have them all year long
was from the song "That's What I Want for Christmas". (Couldn't find a video)
Today's song
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
and ever over its Babel sounds
You can leave your answer in you comment or pm me. If you need a hint just pm me. Good Luck!
