God Love Ingonish!!!

So Jean-Guy takes me away for the weekend for our 2 year aniversary and it was great!!! Friday he gets off work and heads down here with Joel (my parents watched him for the weekend) He gets here kinda late...like 7:00pm and I quickly pack my things and we head out for Ingonish. I called the Hide-Away and book cabin 1 for the night. On the way we stopped at the Lick-A-Treat and get 2 delicious ice-creams, half vanilla half strawberry soft serve...yummm!!! lol So we make our way to Ingonish and stop at Dino's for something to eat...they had nothing but home-made subs that we bought and decided we would warm them over a fire later and eat em up, lol. So we arrive at the campground late, it was 10:15pm and noticed there was about 20 teenagers setting up 10 tents right next to us...great! So we set up shop and try at several attempts to light a fire, but the wood was wet. We decide to head into the woods for some dry stuff and birch bark. FINALLY we had a blazing fire going so we sat around and had a couple beers and talked and laughed....it was nice and peacefull. The teenagers were actually quiet, we never heard them once thank God! So we ended the night at about 2am and went to bed with all the wood buggies....ahhh sick I know, lol. I wake up before Jean-Guy and get ready for the day, I wake him up and get him ready and we were outta there by 10:30am. We head into Ingonish and I asked him to take me on the Ski Cape Smokey chair lift and he obliged. It was fun, we climbed almost 1000 feet up to the top and enjoyed the view. We walked around and took some pics and seen a really cool looking frog, lol. So after that we decide to check out a nearby Whale Watching Tour, Sea Visions. The man told us that on the trip before us they seen whales, dolphins, leather-back sea turtles, 1000 pound sunfish and lots of beautiful bald eagles and other sea-birds. Of course this excited me so much I almost shit my pants. I have never seen a whale, turtle or dolphin in my life and anyone who knows me, knows I love them with all my heart. So Jean-Guy books us a seat on the 73 foot Schooner and our trip is for 1:30. We went and grabbed some really flippin expensive lunch at a nearby hotel called the Castle Rock Inn (we were staying there that night) to kill some time. So it's 1:15 and we head to the boat. All 8 of us board and we sail out to sea. I was so excited I never took my eyes off the water. We were out at sea for 2 and a half hours and guess what I seen? WAVES!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT!!!!!!! Nothing but freakin water and waves. Not even a dumb sea-gull. notta, nilch. We paid 60 bucks to see the ocean that I see every single day of my life. Oh well, the boat ride itself was worth it, neither Jean-Guy nor I have ever been on a sail boat before. After that we head back into the big town of Ingonish for some last minute booze and some munchies for later. We get to the hotel and it was beautiful. Ever since I was about 16 years old, I've always wanted to stay at this hotel and finally I get the chance. By this time Jean-Guy isn't feeling too well (I think the boat did him in) so we both grabbed a shower (no, not at the same time you perves! lol) and he decides he's in no mood to drink. Great. Tons of booze and nobody to drink with me (wow, that's a first! lol) So I open one of his Mott's Extra Spicey Clamato Ceasers and I want everone out there in cyber space to listen to me on this one.....DO NOT BUY THEM!!!!!!!!!! I nearly barffed on the first gulp. They are fuckin SICK SICK SICK. And anyone who gets heartburn often...STAY AWAY!!!! LOL So anyways we spent the night watching American Choppers and other car-related shows (cause i love em) We get to bed at about 3am. The next morning I am rearing to go!!! He's sick in bed and I'm super dissapointed. He's always sick. I drag him outta bed and get him dressed and I pack up all our gear and tell him that we are going to Mary Ann Falls, sick or not!!! lol So he feels a bit better and we make it to the falls. Brrrrrrr, it was freezing!!! Last weekend it was piss ass warm, but today it's cold. Oh well, I dive in anyways and he does the same. He loved it. We stayed and swam for a bit and then left to go eat at the ever delicious Sea Gull Restaurant. Yumm Yumm Yumm. He ate probably the sickest thing on the menu...Calamari Rings, for the seafoodly inclined people out there, that means SQUID!!!! Fuckin sick! He tried to get me to eat one and I broke a piece off and like onion rings, I was expecting it to just break easily but no, it's fucking squid i'm talking about and it's like rubber...that alone almost made me puke. So I pop it in my mouth and the texture alone was turning my stomache...I spit it out and ran to the bathroom. Never again. So we eat and head for Sydney, but not without a stop at Sew Inclined again!!! lol I had to show him the 80 dollar hat that Annette was gonna buy...he nearly shit his pants! lol He bought me a shark tooth neclace (the one I wanted from before) and another beautiful beaded ring, that mind you, everyone makes fun of. lol But shag them, we all love em! lol So we head out on the road again and he drops me off at almost 5pm and then he leaves with Joel and heads home. It was fun and I loved spending time with him, I just wish I could have seen a whale!!! lol Untill next time...

Thinkin....

So it's Tuesday night and I'm sittin here thinking some things over. Too many things maybe. I guess when you are nothing but good to a person all you get is them shitting on you in return...but that's fine though...I know who my true friends are. It just sucks it took me this long to figure it out, or should I say.... to see people for who they really are. Sad really. But anyways, I really don't care...I'm happier than ever and for once, I am putting myself first. I just want to say have a nice life to the few friends I lost these past couple of months, I know in my heart I did nothing wrong and just wanted to say thanks for all the stabs I took in the back, physical pain hurts for a little while, but emotional pain lasts forever. So I do as I do as always and put things to the back of my mind...however I am worried that someday I will snap and it's not gonna be pretty, but I'm not thinking about that right now. Anywho on a better note, I just wanted to say thanks to my TRUE friends for being there for me as always and thanks to the love of my life Jean-Guy...I am blessed to have a man like him. So far everything has been great, for once I actually haven't had anybody try to steal him away from me and that I thank God for everday. So i'm never gonna write about shit like this again, but I felt the need to speak my mind since it is MY blog. So cheers to my friends and cheers to former friends and even family...it's been nice knowing you all....

Catching Up...

Aright so it's Thursday afternoon and I'm just sitting here updating this Blog. I gotta get ready for work soon (oh fucking joy) so i'm gonna make this as quick as I can. I just wanna write about Saturday night actually cause it was probably the funniest night ever. Here goes....So Winter calls me at I think 7amish on Saturday morning...I was up at 6 getting things prepared. So her and Janet come pick me up at like 8am and we head up to Annette's. We pack her bags and I go with her in her car and we all go to Wal-Mart for some last minute shopping...or should I say thieving??? lmfao So we leave there and I drive Annette's car and Janet drives Narcoleptic's neo-phillie (bahahaha) We are on our way and me and Nette decide to stop and get a drink at a Petro-Can...or should I say Smelly-Poop-Ass-Can, lmfao Anyways...we head out and make it to Ingonish first so we decide to go into "Sew Inclined" this funky hat and clothing place. Well I think it was a bad mistake because Nette and I pissed our pants laughing at the different hats they had. We modeled several ones..the "Boob" hat, the "Aladdin" hat, the "bird" hat and the one Annette almost paid $80 dollars for...the "sexy red" hat. We have pics to show as soon as Annette uploads them (i'll be posting them for sure!) lol So we had a good time there and head off to the delicious Liqour Store where we meet up with Jan and Skin. We go in and buy tons of booze and make our way to the Hide-Away Campground. We checked in and went to Cabin 1...hmm I think Winter was still asleep cause she was having technical difficulties with the lock and key...hahahahahaha We noticed we had some neighbours who weren't at their tent so we decide to scope out the place to find out if they will mind a little noise...we investigated and found these items: Corona Box, Hatchet and THE CHRONICLE HAROLD!!! Great, we gotta move..these people are sophisticated!!! lol So we get the "RIGHT" key and head to cabin two...right next to the horse-shoe pitt! (BAD MOVE by the way) lol So we set up shop and after several mattress switching attempts later...we finally had the place all Martha Steward like...lol We had some beers and sweated our boobs off so we decided to head to the beach! So off to Black Brook Beach we go! What an experience we had there....me and Skin did some deep sea diving and found 4 sick ass LOBSTERS!!!!!!! and they were ready to kill!!! Needless to say we jetted out of there quick! So we stayed close to shore and enjoyed the big waves that kept smashing us to the ground and washing us up on shore...some of us even lost our drawers!! lmfao To our demise we get up and noticed we actually had an audience....a clan of hott guys and girls (wait, were we on Baywatch??) lol They annoyed the flippin hell out of us...everytime a wave would come the whole mob would scream...yeah ok children if you yell at the waves they actually get bigger!!! lol There was this cool dude on the shore area doing some kind of shore surfing thing...he was good at it too. The best part was when he tried to teach this Clanna Warns to surf and she kept face planting in the sand...pretty funny!! So we head over to the Falls and wash up, then the Clanna Baywatch show up again (I swear they loved us) so we left. We get back to the cabin around 6ish and Narcoleptic decides to take a nap and we all seemed to follow....lol I just tossed and turned and killed some time staring at the delicious wooden bunk bed above me that looked like it would cave in, lol. So me and Jan wake everyone up at about 8:30ish and well....Winter wasen't that easy to wake up! lol I climbed up to the loft and find her passed out with her face in the pillow and no shirt on...hahahahaha We took a pic! lol So we head to the bathrooms and get all showered and prettied up. We had some drinks and then headed off to the "NEIL'S HARBOUR LEGION"!!! Sweet! 24 dollars in cover charges later we get a drink of the sickest vodka and limes ever! The place was hurtin, but we had a ball! We danced and sang to our hearts content! I met a boyfriend....Duckie Duck Butt!!! He was hott and man he could shake what his momma gave him! lmfao The whole night me and Skin did the Duck Dance and laughed our asses off! It wasen't hard to tell we weren't from around there!!! lol So the place closes at 1am, lol and we head out. But then Janet gets a swell idea!! She goes back into the legion and invites the bartender to the Hide-Away, she tells him to bring his friends and we will have a party. Great thinking Jan!! So outside the place my boyfriend Duckie shows up with a 96 year old man and they wanted us to follow them...Winter wouldn't! :( I was sad...Duckie was leaving me...lol So we get back to the cabin and cook up a scoff!! All of a sudden Hurricane Philly comes and we end up bbqing inside the cabin. Great...the friggin smoke alarm goes off and probably woke up the whole campground!! I run over and rip if off the wall and put it outside, lol. As I was outside I noticed some car lights coming through the campground...omg can it be?? My duckie??? Sadly it wasen't... :( We send Janet outside to see if it was her bartender boyfriend and his friends...IT WAS!!!! YAY!!!! Bartender boy and his friends alright (if you mean 4 fucking cans of beer his friends!!!) He was actually alone....what a loser! So that was the biggest mistake of Janet's life....we sat there and listened to stories about legion after legion and his grandfather...we could only make out about 2 or 3 words....buddy talked with rocks in his mouth! We tried to give him the hint and we all go to bed...but guess what....HE STAYS!!!!!!!!!!! He keeps rambling on and on about God knows what! He says "I can't wait to tell my buddies I partied with 4 lesbians!" BAHAHAHAHA then he says "I don't wanna drink anymore beer....I'm scared what you guys might do to me" BAHAHAHAHAHAH LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO Buddy....really!! I burst out into tears laughing and I tell him that i'm married...he says that's a good way to be, lmfao. Winter was up in the loft and she lets out this big "Psssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and i was like "what was that???" she said "GOD DAMN WOODCHIPS!!!" lol really it was directed towards bartender boy and what he said, lol. So that was the highlight of the night for sure....some people just don't have a clue! Me and Skin are up in the loft and he's still here...Winter says to me "just make belief you are sleeping!" I whisper back "MAPLE LEAF BOLOGNA??? and we roared then I said to her "Winter, I can't sleep...he's either gonna ROB us or RAPE us!!!" and she just dies and busts a gut laughing so bad!!! So FINALLY he takes the hint (after we are all tucked into bed and pretending to sleep) He leaves and the fun begins! lmfao Sleeping my ass...we were all wide awake! We all go to the bathroom and chat and laugh our asses off. We get back to the cabin and head to our beds....great it's thundering and lightening like there's no tomorrow!! I say to Winter in a child-like voice "Wint...I can't sleep, I'm scarred!" and she yells "GO BACK TO BED!!!" lmfao you had to be there I guess! lol So we tried to sleep through the night, not to mention we were sleeping pretty much on the roof of a complete wood house...if we get hit by lightening, we are fried...literally! So we get to sleep and something suddenly wakes me and Annette up in the middle of the night....it wasen't the wind, it wasen't the thunder...it was Winter's ASS!!!!!!!!!!!! LMFAO Well we pissed our pants laughing again and then finally get to sleep. The next day comes and Annette takes off early, she never got much sleep with Thunder Ass in the loft. lmfao So we pack up and Chef Boy R Skin cooks up a dozen eggs, pound of bacon and a whole pack of bologna...lmfao the animals ate well that day!!! So we head out and arrive at Mary Ann Falls! I was in my glory! I loved every second of it! Me and Wint dove off the cliffs, swam with the eels and had a nice shower in the falls...it was great! Jan didn't join us :( and we felt bad so we left and went to North Bay Beach...we swam for like 2 seconds and then decided to go eat the the Seagull Restaurant...WHERE'S MY DAMN GRAVY???!!!!! lol Well the fun came to an end and Narcoleptic drove home and fell asleep driving again...Jan took over. We got home at 8pm and went our merry ways. It was a blast for sure...can't wait to do it again! Until next time....

Back on Track

Ok, so I've been lost in cyber space for the past like 2 weeks! lol Well actually I've been camping in Halifax. Last Thursday (August 5th) Jim came down and got me and Kim and we spent the night in Louisville. Friday comes and we pack up all our shit (so much stuff we had to take the trailer! lol) and head to Elmsdale (bout 20 minutes outside of Halifax) We didn't arrive there till really late (like 10pm) and we were the only losers camping in a tent! Well pardon me!!! lol The campground was a fuckin shithole just like the one in Inverness. It was more of a RV park than a tent campground, but whatever. So we set up the 2 tents and Jean-Guy went to visit his friends that were there and me and Kim stayed behind cause Joel was in bed. We sat on the picnic table, drank and played cards. lol The next morning we wake up almost floating in the tent...it rained like a BITCH and the tent was soaked! Great! It was only 7am and we had to get up, it was still raining. Jean-Guy's friend Joey came down and told us all to head up to his trailer so we did. His sweet wife cooked us all breakfast and we all got a nice hot shower...ahhhh it was great. Jean-Guy and Joey went down to the tents and tarped it over and dried up all the water...it looked sooooo funny...just like a makins igloo! lol I got pics to show! So me and Kim get ready and head to the malls. Well we were gone for 7 hours! lmfao We had fun though...shopped till we dropped and ate delicious Chinese food. We head back to the campground and everyone was bbqing, drinking and partying. Jean-Guy's friend Mark was down from California and his sister and family had a trailer there so we had one big open party. We spent 6 days at the campground and it rained the 5 out of 6, but oh well..we were nice and dry in our Makins! lol We drank every night, ate well, shopped, swam, partied and had some campfires. The campground was so strict and shitty I will give you a little hands down on it. Showers: cost .75 cents for 6 minutes and when the 6 minutes is up you actually have to get outta the shower and put more money in the god damn machine. Fees: You have to pay even if you want to just visit a friend at the campground for a few hours...5.75 a day and if you have more than 3 ppl to a tent...you have to pay extra for each additional person. Gate: The gate closes at 11pm every night...if you want to get into the campground you have to park a mile away and walk to your site. Also if you leave the campground and try to get back in you actually have to get out of your fucking vehicle and go into the office..tell them who you are and walk back to your car so they can open the gate to let you back in. So if you leave 15 times a day...you still have to go into the office and identify yourself 15 fucking times! Beach: What beach?? I guess you if consider a leech infested 6 inch deep river a beach! Curfews: Yep I said curfews! Everynight at 10pm the woman comes over a loud speaker and tells all the kids to put their bikes away and stay at their sites. Not to mention the campground was INFESTED with kids...loud and annoying ones too! Ones that can only scream when they talk and wake you up every morning at 6am! Noise: A loser actually drives around the whole campground in a god damned golf cart every night starting at 11pm and tells everyone to turn their music off and to keep any noise down. Me and Kim had the truck radio on Friday night and I swear to God it was so low we couldn't make out the words...cart boy comes down and tells us to turn it off...what a prick! We sat their in dead silence and played cards...how fun! Speed Limit: 10KMS!!!!!!!!!! I just don't understand some people. Jean-Guy drove like 15KMS and ppl (who don't even work there) were hollering at him to slow the fuck down. I just don't understand people like that. Just like in Inverness, Mira and on our way around the Cabot Trail...some ppl just don't mind their own business and I don't understand why the fuck not! In Inverness there was a man in a car (who did NOT work there, just a camper) who actually kept telling us to slow down and to keep the noise down. He was such a loser that he drove to our site to tell us that and tried to pretend he worked there. It was funny. On the Cabot Trail there was a look-off and me and Winter stopped for a bit...there was a baby fox roaming around so we stopped to take pics and stuff. We thought it would be a nice idea if we fed him a bit so the only thing we had was a couple of marshmallows that we gave to him. Some fucking loser from Quebec (we knew from the license plate) actually told us not to feed him and that it's against the law to do so. Why oh Why does he care? Really? He's not a Park Ranger, he's not an Animal Care-taker, he's not even a fucking Garbage Man...so why does he care if we give the starving fox a fucking marshmallow??? Ughhh makes me mad! Anyways, enough of my complaining! lol I guess all in all I had fun camping despite all the shitty happenings. I guess I would have to say the highlight of the trip was what Jean-Guy did. You know where I mentioned the whole Gate thing? Well we were sick and tired of getting out of the truck to ID ourselves so they can open it so one day we all went out for ice-cream and came back to the campground...Jean-Guy was not getting out of the truck again so he decides to do the unthinkable...a van was in front of us...yep you guessed it! The van swipes his card...the gate opens...Jean-Guy tries to sneak in behind the van. Well there's no stopping the gate...it comes crashing down on top of the truck and WHAMMO...he busted the wooden gate in pieces. GREAT!!!!!! The whole campground was packed with tons of ppl swimming in the pool and every single one of them dropped their jaws and stared in horror. I was fucking mortified! Jean-Guy had to get out, pick up the broken gate and walked into the office. The woman was like "do you want me to let you back in?" Jean-Guy was like "no, there's no need to...I let myself in!" At the time I was embarrased to tears, but now I can sit back and laugh at the whole thing. The gate was off all day getting repaired and they did fix it and put it back..to my surprise they never even charged us. So we head back to Cape Breton on Wednesday and nothing went right for us. The boat wouldn't start, the 4-wheeler was gone to get fixed, Joel was acting up as usual and we got stuck on the St. Peter's Canal. Great! I had to be to work for 4 o-clock and it wasn't happening! I had to call in and cancel and try to re-schedule and luckily they did. So we went and picked up the bike and headed to Sydney. We pitched the tent in the backyard and camped yet again! lol We all had a blast, Matt came down everyday and we all had good times. We bbqd, drank beers, went bowling, went swimming and went to the bars on Saturday night. It was fun. It was also nice to spend some time with Jean-Guy since I never get to see him. So he stayed from Wednesday till Sunday and it was great, he had a wonderful vacation. So now it's Monday and I start work tonite at 6. Guess I'm gonna go now and watch a movie. I'll keep up on the bloggin...Until then!

Sun Shiny Day

Well it's Tuesday and it's another fully beuw day in the hoodie neighbs and perhaps we might go to the beach. I'll recap the events since last Thursday when I posted. I got the job where Winter works, I go in tomorrow to pick my shifts..hmm Fri, Sat and Sun off! lol We didn't do much on Thursday night but Friday I shopped with Winter and my mother in the morning and came home, then me and Wint went to the beach all day again and it was amazing! We came home at like supper time then I took my grandmother out to the malls for a bit and didn't get home till almost 10 o'clock. I called Winter and she said she was on her way to get me, we were goin on the High Roller baby!! lol So she picked me up and we went over to the docks and boarded the boat. God love Bill...he was there having a beer and offered us some so of course we obliged! lol He was just after putting a brand spanking new engine in it and has to break it in slow so we went for a rip around the harbour and docked it close to that bomb ass schooner that was docked in the water for the past week (rumor has it that it's Paul MacCartney's boat) it was amazing..nicest boat i've ever seen. We chilled in the water for a while and drank some more beer and listened to some tunes. We returned to the warf and docked it again. We decided that we were starved so we actually ordered pizza and donairs to the boat! lol It was delicious! We ate every drop! lol So we chatted and laughed and it was about oh I dunno....3am?? Maybe later...so we packed up shop and Bill showed us how to operate the boat and how to open and close the top (we planned on sleeping there the next night after the bars and he said no problem) We left and Bill noticed he had a flat tire so we drove him home and then we went home. So that was Friday night. Saturday rolls along and it was hott as hell so we made it a beach day. We packed up some food and the bbq and me, Winter and Jan went to the Gut. My parents met us out there with Kim and my dog Sheba. We all swam and ate and had a blast. We left at about 6:30pm and went to the liqour store for some beers. We all went home and got ready (I got ready at Wint's) None of us have been to Hermans since June 5th so we decided we should go and it should be fun. It sucked cause me and Winter only drank about 3 beer each so we went down to Jaclyn's where Noah, Davinna, Curtis, Matt, Jac, Jan and Aimee were. We only stayed for about a half an hour and left for Rum Jungle. That bar was pretty good...we met up with some friends and danced a bit, the place closed and we headed to Herman's. Before we got in we got harrased by Morrison and Pittman...lol them loons! So we went in and OMG, it sucked ass!! Nobody was there...the place was dead! For a Saturday night on a long weekend, we thought the place would be jammed...but everyone had a better idea and went camping! (Just like what we were supposed to do! Grrr) So we lost Jan :( :( :( and decided to walk up the road to find her but we didn't. We went to the shitty ass Capri where we met up with Davinna, Curtis and Matt, we walked around once and left. We never even drank at Hermans or Capri it sucked that bad. We met up with 2 friends and drove them home and me and Skin went to Scotch Ronnies...lol We went home, ate and fell asleep. That was Saturday....Sunday comes and we never got out of bed till almost 2 o'clock! lol So we didn't do too much...Wint got her tire fixed yet again and I chilled with Matt all day. Wint called me at like 8ish and wanted to know if I wanted to see the fireworks in Dominion and I said sure so and me, her, Kim, Jan and Nick headed to the beach and watched the amazing fireworks, they were great. We came back and ate and then drove Kim and Nick home and we parked over town and talked to Mikey and Tomboy till 2am and Jan had to go home. We drove her home and came back over town and chatted with the boys for a bit and we all decided to park down at the boardwalk. Well, we stayed there till 5:30am and all we did was laugh our asses off! It was hilarious! Good times, Good times! We went home and slept...Monday comes and yet again we never got out of bed till almost 2pm. lol We had to return stuff for Wint's grandmother then we called Jan and me, Wint, Jan, Nick and Kim headed to the beach yet again! We swam for 2 hours then me and Jan got stung by a God damned Jellyfish! Ouch! It hurt for like 10 minutes. After that we packed up shop and left and came home. Wint went to work and I did jack shit...lol And now it's Tuesday and I'm not sure what's on tab for today...guess we will see....till then....
