| Friday July 18, 2003 Ok..I typed this great big journal entry, and what happend...my stupido computer FROZE UP! Man oh man! So here I am mind a blank..and wanting to remember what I typed. Hmm. Well tomorrow I am having a garage sale, me and my bro and my friend Jae. We are going to go down to my pops' compound and have a big assed sale! I have everything, from kids clothes, to bed frames! lol I don't really have anything too witty to talk about, which is strange. You know Craiger once said "give Jen and Kim any kind of topic and they will have a full fleged conversation about it, watch...belly button lint". Lol..and there went Kimbo and I talking about belly button lint. Lol..ahh the good ole days. Guess just Guess who picked out this page for my new journal entry..just GUESS..yup Kady! She is so funny, MOM THATS THE ONE!!! IT"S PINK AND BUBBLY! lol I love the way kids emotions are so extreme. I mean if they are happy they have a nice deep belly laugh. Then if they are upset or mad, it to the extreme. My sissy is getting an apartment. It's kinda funny, her and peter both had the idea that they should keep their own telephone number. I said well you know, you have to get rid of one..here I'll flip a coin best 2 out of three...and you know, that's how they decided whose phone nubmer to keep...and it was my sissy's number. What else can I tell you. I'm a loser baby so why don't cha kill me...remember that song. Remember how popular it was. You know isn't it funny how one song floods back a MILLION memories? You know, songs of heartbreak, songs of love, songs of anger, songs of hate, songs of distress, songs of laughter, songs of friendship, songs songs songs..they are everywhere and anywhere. They are the tunes of the annoying jingles that get stuck in our heads, they are the tunes of your memories trying to get out of our heads. You know there (NOTE TO EVERYONE..we are watching Heats in Atlantis, and the boy is riding...are you ready, TILT A WHIRL!!) Jann Arden, her songs bring back a LOT of memories for me. It was funny, an old friend of mine called me out of the blue, I hadn't spoke to him in almost 4 years, and he said "you know I was listening to Offspring, and I thought, hey this song reminds me of Pagonis!" so I mean it's funny how a little melody can bring such memory with such a "small" sound. Music rocks, I don't know how the world would be without music! I mean after all would I have remember the first 25 elements of the periodic table without singing them to learn them?? Lol..Ahh Mr.Lau would be upset to know that! Anyway, I better stop rambling, go check out Jann Ardens site, then hit the sack...after all I have a big day tomorrow! GARAGE SALEORAMA!! WOO HOO!!! Later Kids :) SUNDAY JULY 20, 2003 Hey there chickens and squirts. So yesterday we had our garage sale. We did REALLY good! My bro, me, Jae, and Kathy. I made $250.00...I think my bro made somewhere around there..and Jae brought 5 things sold 3 of them. Kathy had brought a bunch of carving and she sold quite a few of them. So it was good. We went down there today for a couple hours. You know I KNOW that it's a gargae sale..but why are people so IGNORANT! Man oh man. I had this little Roots outfit that my kid wore once for 15 min, took it off cuz it was too big, then when I pulled it out to put back on her it was too small... So I said oh 4 bucks..this woman was like..oh I'll give you a buck..I said FORGET IT, it's a $60.00 outfit my kid tried on and never wore again... so she walked away mumbling something like "what a rip off" under her breath...I just shook my head...fkk I guess I'm suppose to give my stuff away, sheesshh if I wanted to do that I would have just put it out on Franklin, and walked away. Oh well, I'm having one this following weekend at my house. I think the baby stuff will sell much better here. I am going to have to try and get the kids to keep our "good" stuff put behind here. Just so it's not mistaken for garage sale stuff. Then there was this snuggly that I had for Dray, at the store $40.00. I had $15.00 written on it along with only used twice, for 10-15 min intervals. This lady (I went to school with her daughter) she came in and asked How low will you go...I was like. Sheesh...$15...I she said well it is a garage sale. I said it is new..if you go to wal mart you'll pay $40.00 and basically all you 'll be paying the extra $25.00 is the box....so I don't think that she liked that too much..and you know what...I DON"T GIVE A SHIT! Oh well. When I have my one here...I'm gonna make some posters saying like t-shirts $1.00 pants $1.00 sets 3.00 shoes 2.00 and leave them at that. I have a swing there too...that was a laugh to. people...like i said...people make me laugh..usually they just piss me off..but that's ok. Anyway, enough cryin about stupido people. Poor Steve, he went to work this morning at just after 6:00am, and worked till about 6:30PM..then headed right to ATCO to do his shift there...he strolled in to the house here about 10:15pm...so he worked ALL day! Guess that's what happens when you have a Jennifer who isn't going back to work. Oh well, it's either I stay home with the kids, or we pay $1800.00/mo child care! You do the math! After all Steve can so an overtime shift, and make the money that I would come home with what I would make sitting at my desk for a month...and paying out all the child care..JUST the child care!!! My cousin phoned me today and left me the most hillharryass message...she was like..I know you are out today, sorry I forgot you were at the gift opening! ROFL...the reason you ask why this is so funny?? Because she was referring to Mersad's wedding/gift opening..and anyone of you who knows ME and how much I LOVE Mersad will understand why this was so funny! ah my cousin..she ROCKS..I LOVAH DOVAH YOU COUSIN!!!! Anyway enough of this mush pot stuff. It's 11:11 PM, I have to go to bed. Oh by the way, if you were wondering how the new CHEVY SILVERADO..Kids version is..it ROCKS! It's the cutest thing that I have ever seen! I told Steve that I was going to go on a massive lose weight kick just to I could get down to 129 pounds, JUST to be able to sit in the Silverado, and drive it...after all the weight restriction is 130 Lbs...ROFL...ahh 129...HA HA HA HA HA HA HA July 22, 2003-This is what I wrote to the editor of the News North...read it, email me let me know what you think about it! Dear Editor, What has become of the small city that I grew up in? For the past week and a half(at least)I have gone to bed, and while lying there, my ears have been occupied with what is becoming all too familar sound of boisterous sirens! WHAT IS GOING ON? Have I missed something? Am I really that out of touch? I feel like I'm in Edmonton(which really isn't THAT big of a city) Where the sirens echo throughout the day and night. I rememeber walking about as a child not afraid of anything around my neighborhood. I remember being able to say hello to anyone on the street and someone always knew someone in my family, so it was ok, and if they didn't know someone from my family they STILL could muster an insignificant hello to a little kid. I remember all the good things that this small city had to offer me as a child growing up, which at the time didn't seem like a whole lot. NOW that I have my own kids, and I don't trust to leave them outside in fear...I just shake my head and long for those simple times. Too many new faces, too many new faces that are not bringing good with them...too many new faces that feel the need to bring the big city to the small city. Maybe I'm too much of a small city girl...but I miss the old Yellowknife. (I know MOVE ON),I miss the freedom and comfort. I miss being able to say hello to someone on the street that I don't know, and have them smile and say hello or pick up a conversation that is irrelevant to their day. *SIGH* Too busy of a day, too scattered of a day, to fast of a day, too important of a day, too shitty of an attitude day, too money hungry of a day, too disco of a day, too "I'm so much better than you" of a day, too many people speeding up my street at all hours of the night day, too big city of a day for me. You can tell me to move...but I've been here my whole life...I miss the too small of a town to be a city...Yellowknife... |
