so..my last published post was May 2...how time flies..i had almost completely forgotten about my poor little blog..well...not really..its amazing how things you used to enjoy get pushed down, and pushed away until they are hardly a minutes thought...anyhow..hopefully i'm going to start remembering all the things i used to enjoy so much, and get back to them...i'm off to work at the moment..damn midnight shift has been fucking with me for 3 weeks...tonights the LAST night..NO MORE..WOOO...that is all.

this little light of mine....

i'm gonna let it shine.

one year closer to......something.

ok...so i just celebrated a birthday on the 24th of March...here are the pics...I know you've been waiting a while Cori...sorry...:P you know me and my laziness :)

*kissesssss*

St.Pattys Day

*sorry bout the quality...again with the picture of the picture on my webcam*

i'm here..i'm here.

well..been a while again since i've posted..things have been a little busy around here..happy busy..and sad busy i guess you could say...i didn't post about this before but for the last little while i've had an aunt who was really sick in the hospital with cancer..My Aunt Verna..i was pretty close to her my whole life..my parents rented an apartment from her and my Uncle when i was a little tiny baby...she babysat me while i was growing up..and a few years ago I rented an apartment from her and my Uncle..strangely enough..it was the apartment right underneath the one i lived in when i was a little wee baby...anyways..last Tuesday my aunt lost her battle with cancer...my family and i have all been pretty sad..but...the more we think about it..the more we realize that she is way better now..no more pain..no more suffering...anyhow..the funeral service for my aunt was on Friday..it was a really nice service..some of her grandkids stood and said a few words...the music that the played was lovely..and the minister did a great job..I caught up with quite a few of my cousins that i hadn't seen in a while..one in particular that i was very happy to see..my cousin Shawna...she's my second cousin..and we're only 9 months apart in age..we used to hang out a whole lot while we were growing up...but seemed to lose touch once we turned 19 or 20...at any rate..we're going to try to keep in better touch..sometimes i'm bad for that....but i'm trying to get better :)

here is a picture of me and my Aunt Verna from a long long time ago...the quality isn't that great because i had to take a picture of the picture with my webcam....i dont have a scanner at home..and im already showered and in my pjs...and its tooo darn cold out to hike over to my moms to use hers..hahahahhmm..i guess the quality isn't as bad as i thought it might be..suweet..anyways..this picture was taken in April of 1984...i was 9 years old :) I always had a great time when my Aunt Verna was around..she was always so much fun and so full of great information..anything you wanted to know..Aunt Vern knew..i think there was only ONCE in my life that i asked her something that she didn't know the answer to...and it was only a few years ago...we were sitting outside on our front porch..and we heard this buzzz buzzz buzzzzz way up high in the tree...we got talking about the insect that makes that noise...and how ugly they are....we knew what they were called..and how to pronounce them correctly...but neither of us knew how to spell it..i think we spent about 1/2 an hour searching through a dictionary...then i finally went online and typed it in google...cicada...hahaha..we had a good laugh about that..anyhow..thats about all for now..as i said before..i'm all showered up and in my pjs..I'm going to work on another post right now...and then i'm hitting the hay!! Take good care everyone...and if i ever don't post for a while..don't forget about me...cuz i always come back :)

this is some funny shit.

So..i just checked my email a few minutes ago...and i had THE funniest email i've had in a long time..from my mom...in case ANY of you were wondering where i get my craziness from...wonder no more.

Here is what the email said...and the picture that was attached.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE MY NICKI HAS GONE??????????????????? If you know of her whereabouts will you please let me know.
what a funny mama..hahaha..guess i should give her a call.

so..

here we are again...its friday..the beginning of another weekend...what to do...what to do?! hmmm...I'm feeling a little bit tired and under the weather today..i've been having the SHITTIEST sleeps..tossing...turning...waking myself up by snoring...yes..i snore..i may have said it before..and i'm saying it again..i snore.s.n.o.r.e...its not my fault though..i have a nose problem..i was born this way..hehehe...my dad had the same nose problem..he had a few operations..which i believe involved having his nose broken and his nasal cavaties scraped....NO THANK YOU :) My nose is stupid enough as it is...it doesn't need to be broken..nope...sure doesn't...anyways..i don't really have a whole lot of anything to post about today..no crazy pictures...no fun stories..just me..yammering on...and on...and on..s'ok though..yammering nicki..is better than no nicki...right? that is what i thought..hahaha..i'm doing some laundry right now..and thinking about maybe vacuuming and dusting my place..it should be done...but i dunno if i feel like it....it seems to me that cleaning is a little tooo much like work...i'd much rather just sit here...surf the intertron..shop online...drink my coffee and smoke 500 cigarettes..yes..sounds like a plan :)...its settled..i'm going to spend the afternoon procrastinating :) yippeeee..I've become addicted to a website..its FULL of cute wallets...bags..t-shirts...buttons...and TONS of other stuff :)

Here is a link to the site...and also...i'm gonna link to a few bazillion things that i'm going to think...and dream about buying...(may as well right....since i'm procrastinating ) :D

*UPDATE*...i fucking broke down...i am now floating on a cloud of domestic bliss...fuck.

i think i'm getting old...

...had a fairly quiet weekend this weekend...i've been working a lot the past little while..combined with 2 hours of driving everyday pretty much...i'm pooped...i think i had a total of 3.5 pints of beer this weekend...what the hell?!?!?

friday night i was sooooooooo looking forward to a good night out on the town...good food..good beer..good friends...lol..i got through the good food...(steak special friday at frugals)...yum..steak..baked potato..mushrooms...parsnip...super...good beer....3 pints of carlsberg...GET IN MY BELLAY...and then...here is what happened...10:45 pm...i'm sitting at the table...talking to a few friends and the head starts going...i was nodding off to sleep at the table...WHAT?!?! :( that was it..i went home..what an embarassment..ahhahah....what a party ANIMAL!!!!....*sigh*...maybe 3 years ago...its over..i'm old...over the hill...out of the loop..FINISHED??!?!! ;)

So..yeah..that was my friday...saturday night was even LESS eventful...although..i had a great night..went to the pennywhistle pub with a friend of mine..we had a drink and played a game of scrabble...only one though...i was way toooo sleepy to play anymore...(i dont think i mentioned that i was up at 7:30am Saturday morning)....what the HELL is with that? where are my days of sleeping in?...no getting out of bed until at least 10am...no even opening my eyes before 9:30am?..oh wait..i guess that happens mostly when you're NOT OLD...and NOT USED to getting up with the birds everyday....*sigh*

Sunday turned out to be a pretty good day..(i was up at 730am again...of course)...went out for breakfast with a friend, then spent the rest of the day with my mama...we went shopping around town..got some groceries...and then i came home and just chilled for the night..did some laundry..made my lunch for today and went to bed nice and early..anyways..no pictures to share with you from this weekend...hopefully i will be out on the town and in FINE form this coming weekend..and hopefully i'll have some fun to share with you all :)

Well..im outta here..have some running around to do before i come home..have a hot bath...make a cup of tea, and retire for the night...(i almost put and take out my dentures to soak them for the night...but im not THAT old yet...heheheehhe)

well..

Have a great Sunday my friends..maybe i'll be back around later!!!

here it is!!

back to the old days.

Well, i've decided that this year..i'm going to get back to my youth...when i was younger I used to have a bulletin board hung up on my wall..complete with cute little pushpins. Everytime i went to a concert, movie, or did anything fun i would keep a momento from that moment and i would stick it up on my board..i got out of the habit of doing that when i was about 20..i think its time to start the tradition again. I was going through my yearly calendar from 2006 last night, and i realized that i did a whole BUNCH of really fun cool things...only..i didn't really have many momentos of all those really fun cool things..it made me feel kinda sad...anyways..i'm off now to Staples, and i'm going to buy myself a bulletin board..and some cool little push pins !!! I'll be back later..and i'll post a picture of my new board..along with a few momentos that i've already collected from this new year :) YIPPEEE!!!!!!

ok, so i'm now getting around to posting some pics from the new years eve party that i went to at Doogies...you may notice that i am NOT wearing jeans and a t-shirt..and that i happen to be wearing earrings...AND a bracelet..HELLO accessories....(what the hell was i thinking?!?!? i may even possibly look a little bit like a girl!?!?) I guess the cleavage hints to the fact as well huh? dammit.


here is me...trying to look tough...whaddya think? is it working?

miss cori..my new years eve date...isn't she looking gangsta in her fedora?! (thats what its called...right?!? ) haha


This is our friend Mike...and he was having fun with horns..along with the rest of us...see...

..tim..

you know who...

...eye can't see youuuuu.

Anyways...we ended up taking over 300 pictures that night...and i'm not about to post each and every one of them on my blog...what i will do though is provide you with this handy dandy little link..feel free to click it and browse at the whole nights festivities :)

NYE06

well well well...another year is over.

so..here i am in 2007..i haven't posted for a while...BIG surprise no?! lol..i'm thinking about getting around to a post of my xmas/new years eve..i've got a BAZILLION and ONE or TWO pictures to sift through...but i will be SURE to share with you all the most hilarious of them all..i know you WANT it...lol.

2006 for me wasn't the greatest year..wasn't the worst...BY FAR...but definitely wasn't my favourite..there are a few things that i plan to improve on this year :) I'm not letting anyone in on my secrets....but it should be good if things go as planned :) yippeee..anyways..just wanted to say that i AM alive..and that i didn't drink myself, or eat myself for that matter to death over this holiday season...some days it felt like it might happen...but it didn't.....*whew*...well..i'm on my way out now to the butterfly sanctuary..please...everyone take a moment of you time and pray...pray for the pretty little butterflies that i don't swat, flick, step-on for squish any of them to an un-timely death :) thank you...and do...have a nice day :D
