another visitor

We are having another visitor! My brother is coming to visit, on friday! Cant wait! Just finished doing the laundry from my sisters visit.
Today at work we had a funeral for a man who had no family, and then a 90th birthday party for one of the residents, with lots of family. kind of a contrast.

Yesterday i had the day off, I had my trainer in the morning, and then I went for a massage. Of course I ended up at costco. i did something new at the gym, lunges and squats, and boy did I feel it when I woke up this morning. owwww

Good stuff and bad stuff

Ill start with the good.
My sister came to visit this past weekend, we had a fab time! She was supposed to come in friday night at midnight, and we were both so looking forward to it. She was flying MOntreal-toronto-windsor. Her plane left montreal late and she ended up missing the connection to windsor. I thought I was going to kill someone! We were both so mad, at least they put her up in a hotel, and she got in the next morning at 10. I took her to see my work, she was very impressed, and I showed her around windsor, she also came to the gym with me. We also went to michigan for the day shopping, and had dinner at PF Changs. I was sad to see her go, but ill be home 3 weeks from tomorrow. She also officially asked me to be her maid of honor, she made me a beautiful collage frame, ill post the pic later.

As for the bad news, the one and only scrapbook store here has closed! I cant beleive it! Now I have nothing. I really hope when I come home that some new products will be there, the last 2 times were all chirstmas stuff.

And as for me, still going to my trainer. I dont see any differences though!

So not only did I join the gym, but I splurged, and I mean splurged, on a personal trainer. I signed up for 3 sessions a week for 4 months. Yesterday was my first time, the trainer is so nice, I really liked it, even though she almost killed me. I had 2 expressions: I cant do anymore! and Its hurts so much! Now I am in excruciating pain from my shoulders to my fingers, but I look forward to going back tomorrow.
Today i went on an outing at work, to tim hortons, one of the residents fell ill, it was kind of scary, and we called an ambulance. Not to mention that I had to stand out in the cold loading and unloading the bus. Lucky for me, my friend called the bingo in the afternoon so I got a little break.
As jon would say: so you went to tim hortons, and then played bingo, when did you go to work?

work today

hi all
oh forgot to mention, that someone approached me by email that they have a website about flying stories, and they wanted to publish my story! how cool! so check it out,
http://flightsfromhell.com/ go to the bottom right, or under guest blogs. im famous!

today at work we had an outing to walmart. so I was in charge of my favorite resident, and we walked around the store leisurely. (all she wanted was a blue pen). It was funny, because I thats exactly what I did with my grandparents, take them to Walmart shopping. SO I cant believe I get paid for this. Then we had a nice long lunch and the mcdonalds there. All of a sudden a stranger comes up to me and says: you are such a nice person, you are in the right profession. I was so taken aback, I guess she heard me talking with my resident and being nice. so that made me feel good!

today I joined the gym! yes its true, its called good life fitness, its right near my apartment, this location is just women, and they have a lot of classes, and its really cheap! (not to mention, for an extra dollar a week, there is unlimited tanning, but I know its sooo bad for you. but also so tempting!)

at walmart, they had the 3 and 4 twilight books 30%, so I bought them and cancelled my amazon order that had not shipped yet! cant wait to start tonight! I hope I dont read all through the night and have to miss work.

Flight from hell

so heres a good story. I had a wonderful time in florida, which was then ruined by my flight home. I was supposed to leave fort lauderdale at 825, and get to detroit at 1125. The plane was delayed until 845, no big deal, so we get on, and I have an isle seat in the back, It tunrs out we are waiting for some people from another plane. Well a man with a family comes on screaming that he will never fly spirit again, and yelling that they told him there is no room. Of course his seat was behind me in the back, and the rest of his family a few infront. He is now shouting and violently opening every over head bin and telling the whole plane that there is room. Hes putting his carry on away, and making a big scene.
The flight attendants asked him to calm down, but he wouldnt. so they made the decision to call the security. Now the security comes on board, and they get to his wife and kids first, and ask them to get off the plane. so the man gets up from the back to see whats happening. He says they are not leaving! the security says: this can be the easy way or the hard way. walk off like a man. the man says, im not leaving! and turns around to walk back, this is when the security grabs him and now they are fighting in the isle! Also backup was called, so they are all fighting, he is still resisting and yelling, falling into the rows, I inched closer to the middle seat. Now the wife is yelling they are not leaving! and passengers are getting involved, children are screaming, I couldnt believe my eyes. Finally they were able to drag him off. The whole thing seemed to be handled unprofessionaly, and then the security told us he will be going to jail.
Now we have to wait for them to get off all the overhead luggage that he scattered everywhere, and his luggage under the plane. Then another couple wouldnt stay quiet and they were asked to leave. One man then kept yelling, and the security told him infront od the whole plane, shut the fuck up, or youll be next. After all this, they realized that the man had gone to the bathroom, and that was a security threat, so they had to have someone come check it out. We sat on the plane for 2.5 hours!!!!! During this time, I was making a hundred calls to my friend in windsor who was going to pick me up, I told her to forget it, its too late. Then I was begging the shuttle that goes over the boarder to windsor, to wait for me. they said they would wait until 2am, and not a minute more, supposed to leave at 145.

The only good thing was that I was reading a great book! the sequel to twilight! i only got off the plane at 2. before we took off, I stood up and said: excuse me, is anyone going to windsor? no one was. But one very nice lady offered me to stay at her house in Detroit! So the airport started to empty out, and |I got nervous, didnt know where to go, and finally found a taxi, we made a flat rate of 68 US, and I arrived home at 3am. The worst part was, I packed my bag so heavy, thinking my strong friend was going to carry it up, so now I had to carry it stair by stair, I thought I was going to die! She did go into work for me the next day though!! I got into bed, wide awake, and read my book until 410!
