Brodie has 4 teeth now, says mama, dada and baba. I'm sure he doesn't really know what those words mean, but they're nice sounds. I still won't go to the gym regularly and I start work already on Monday. Back to "real life" and it totally sucks.

We're going to Scotland in 3 days! We'll be gone for at least a month. Jamie's parents are planning a wedding party and here are the invitations they had made:
Also, Brodie's first tooth is now poking up! That explains all of the recent drooling/rashing. Hard work growin' teeth! :DDDD I'm so proud of him and I can't stop crying/sniffling, haha. Being a mommy is funny!

I know I should get my arse to the gym almost every day, I know I know I know. I joined 3 weeks after Brodie was born back in February and thought by July, I'd be wearing the clothes I wore last summer.
FAIL.
The last 2 months of my pregnancy were bad for weight gain, I constantly craved sweets and over indulged a little too much in chocolate bars and cheesecake. It's easy to do when you can justify it with being pregnant. The first half was easy since I had such a fussy appetite and was actually losing weight. Unfortunately, at the end I was eating almost everything. After Brodie was born we went to Scotland I ate way too much and felt too tired to move much from irregular sleep that accompanies life with a new born.
5 months later, drinking home brew everyday and eating homemade sausage isn't exactly helping. Yesterday I forced myself to do 40 minutes on the elliptical and today I will do the same. Dieting is definitely not an option and the only way I will see results is if I stick to at least 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I'm also hoping the exercise will fix my hurting back and knees, but getting going is the hard part!
We're going back to Scotland soon and I'll be eating endless amounts of good bacon, sausage, pudding and beer so I'd better get moving. Ugggghhh. I just want to feel like me again.

dear diarrhea,
I forget about livejournal a lot because I'm addicted to facebook. I can't remember what I did on the internet before facebook time. If you're my friend, you already know everything about what's going on in my day to day life so I feel no real need to update! hrmn.
I'm back at a camp in Alberta. It's so much better this time around because there's no snow! I'm living in the middle of the woods in the hot scorching sunshine with all you can eat delicious food and free ice cream. My job is so great, doesn't even feel like work. I feel like I'm vacationing away from the real world. I tell ya, this whole camp life is addictive! There's nothing much else to say other than the fact that I feel freakin awesome lately. I'm so happy just living day to day here, not ever knowing what day it is. I keep finding lots of cool butterflies and insects. They're my new best friends.
It's always still bright out when I go to sleep, it seriously doesn't get dark till 11pm. I haven't seen the night sky since I left Vancouver! It's wicked bright when I wake up too... Alberta is a weirdo. It rained today while the sun was shining so I took some pretty rainbow pictures.
sleeeeepy toimez.
6am comes early, g'nite!

I'm back home in good ol cape breton. We had lobster today... mmm! God bless atlantic lobster fishermen for selling them so frigging cheap. We had lots of fun at tasha's then karaoke last night. I was exhausted from the no sleep but it was great. I stayed awake through it all.
In other news, we got an apartment in vancouver! I'll be going back around the first week of june. indoor pool! helllzzyeah.
I'm waiting for Theresa to get here now so we can go to Christa's and eat cheesecake/put on makeup/bash boys and be silly. The only thing that would make this visit better is if lynn could have come home too. Hopefully next time!!!!!

I'm in Vancouver, apartment hunting with Lynn.
I have an interview tomorrow for Ebay, where Lynn works... if all goes well I start June 11th. I'd like to stay there until Travers calls me back to Alberta.
I bought my ticket and I'll be home on the 23rd. I'm flying from Vancouver right to Sydney for only $316! pretty amazing deal. See you all soon!
Love Lisa

Right now I feel lonely and hopeless like I have nothing at all to look forward to.
Every time I start to cry, I hear my own voice giving advice in my head. Analyzing everything I think is wrong, and telling myself what it all really is. It's so annoying, I can't even fucking cry to get it all out. Shut up, me! I know there's really nothing big wrong, I just feel down. Every day is exactly the same, only I'm starting to wear out. I'm getting tired. I want to go home but I don't know where that is.
I will not be able to live with my parents.

I don't really get a lot of free time to sit here and write about stuff. It's a slow day so I'll update a little. Working in the office is great but camp is gradually closing down and I just might have to find another job, either that or get laid off early and go home the end of May. I don't think I'm ready to live back home yet, though. I'd rather work for a little while longer. I was checking out some jobs in Banf and Jasper, man it would be sweet to live there for the summer! Such beautiful scenery. My week off starts Tuesday, I'm going to Calgary and Banf with Jamie. Can't wait :)!!!!!! He's renting a car so we'll be able to explore. Alberta is huge and there's a lot of nice things to see, might as well explore while we can! The weather is getting nice so it should be an enjoyable adventure.
Well I really don't have much to write, every day is the same here. Time is going by fast, but at the same time it feels like time is standing still. That's camp life for ya! If it wasn't for running daily reports, I wouldn't even know the date.
Happy Easter weekend, y'all!
Love Lisa

HELLO THERE!
I'm back in frozen tundra land. It's kinda warm and nice here today, that makes me happy.
It was so nice to be home, especially for st. patty's day! I miss home already and can't wait to go back again. Hopefully in May or June, who knows. I'm going to try and buy a laptop soon... a nice macbook hopefully. I'm kind of half asleep here, working long but spaced out hours in the office. I don't know why sitting on my ass is exhausting, but it is. I think I need one good solid night of sleep. I got so used to typing short sentences with my cell phone, i can't manage to write anything that isn't half arsed.
My heart broke a little when I had to leave our pretty little island. Sometimes things catch up with me and I miss my old life. I miss my friends... having my own house and especially just being silly and hanging out with danny. I know I'll be okay.
On that note, here are some photos from my visit home!
st. patty's day drinks
i have a thing for nice carts.
Danny took doggy and I to the beach!
nice jug, joge!
my squinky!
chocolate crumb butter pecan cheesecake! THANKS CHRISTA :D
rest are here:

All y'all need to update more.
I guess I'm one to talk...
It's nice to be home. The weather is warm but HELLA windy. I always forget about the wind when I'm away, then I get back and almost blow away. It's a nice wind, a constant woosh. A damp woosh. The air is so dry and cold in Alberta, like make your pants crack and fall off cold. It needs a friggin ocean.
We're all going to the event tonight for cheap drinks and wings. It's my last real night of party time before leaving to go back, so Lynn, hurry up and get on an airplane and meet us there around 9.
Love Lisa
