So Tuesday I had to be in Fort Wayne for treaty training. Since there's no direct flight to fort wayne international from Toronto (where's the international part then?), it made for a long trip, and it meant it ruined my long weekend. To make up for it I took the train to Windsor on Friday and got to visit Angela!!!
We had a great weekend. When I got there we went for supper with a couple of her friends and the food was yummy. Saturday we went to Detroit for some shopping!!! I *heart* cheap shoes! And they're sooo pretty. I bought 3 at Ang's fav outlet store. Then we went to Target!! I've never been so it was so exciting. I bought another pair of shoes as well as spongebob square pants KD =) They had a bunch of nascar stuff too! Yay states for being obsessed.
After that we went to..... wait for it.... the olive garden!!! omg i was so excited. I keep seeing commercials and drooling. I decided to go for the pasta that i kept seeing on commercials and damn it was GOOD! After that we went to a mall closeby and did a bit more shopping.
We were pretty tired by the time we got home but they didn't stop us from having one or two (okay four) pina coladas! Mmmmm soooo good! Then it was off to the loop for gooood times. Got to meet some of Ang's friends and dance the night away.
Sunday was mostly napping, a bit of shopping, olive garden leftovers and tv! It was an awesome weekend. Need to visit again.
I leave for Toronto tomorrow afternoon and when I get home I'll post about the highs and lows of my trip to Indiana.

I'll have wine with my wine, thank you!
I went and saw Wicked last month!!!! It was amazing. I loved it. Yay witches!
My company's Christmas Party was a couple weekends ago. It was at this fancy place on Toronto st. I didn't know there was a Toronto street. It's very short. I couldn't find a new dress to wear, so I bought new shoes and fun earrings and called it a day. High heels are amusing!! Since Matt came with me I could wear really high heels while still being short.
The party was fun. Matt and I amused ourselves by drinking lots and enjoying the tons of fancy food. Soup, salad, steak, and two, yes TWO desserts. Creme brulee and white chocolate raspberry cake. Soooo yummy. Oh, and the bread was awesome.
I don't think I made a fool of myself. I think I left before the last of the alcohol really hit me so I didn't feel too embarrassed on Monday. Nobody commented really about how much I drank so all is good. Thankfully nobody saw me kinda stumble down the stairs. They were narrow stairs i tell you. It had nothing to do with the wine.
This weekend I went for lunch with Holly and Nadia to celebrate Holly's birthday. Happy Birthday Holly!!!!!!!!! We went to yummy spring rolls then Holly and I wandered the mall, and hung out at timmy's. It's nice that hanging out at timmy's is done by choice now, not because of lack of any other options.
Last thing, is that I am one super duper nice person. People say I'm mean, but they are sooo wrong. In the mail there was a cheque for some guy I hadn't heard of before. Being the first to live here, means it had to be the wrong address. I was just going to write return to sender and drop it off in the out box at work, but then I decided it's likely just the suite number was wrong. I took the time to talk to security and found out just that! The security guy was going to make sure the cheque got to him. I'm awesome.

Wedding bells
This past weekend was Justin and Monica's wedding. The ceremony was really nice and they both looked amazing. Mon changed a couple times during the reception and each dress was gorgeous. The flower girl and the ring barer were so cute! When the ring barer started walking too fast the flower girl put her arm out to stop him, then they continued along. The Father's speech was a little questionable and it wasn't really related to marriage. It was mostly about how electronics have taken over and how people should take time away from them or something. Meh, I like my gadgets.
The reception was really nice. I was amused by the wedding memento. Everyone got a poem in a frame and mine said: "I promise you as a lover and a friend; I will love you like I never love again; With everything I am". How sweet of Justin to give me a love poem! Too bad he is married now, otherwise how could I resist?? hehe
I didn't have alot to eat during the day since I was told there was going to be an 11 course meal for dinner. My drink for the night was white wine since it was easy. It hit me pretty quickly. After one I was feeling it, after two.. you could say I was kinda drunk. I think around this time the first or second course was being served... oops. I've been told the multiple Advil I had earlier in the day wouldn't have helped either. I didn't end up eating too much since there was alot of seafood and by the end of the meal I was too drunk to even bother eating. People seemed to be amused that I was the first one drunk. Chris probably wish he wasn't sitting beside me. I know I annoyed him when I kept trying to put heart confetti into his hair.
The night consisted of trying to walk straight, seeing double, and having fun. I managed to catch the bouquet! It came flying at me and landed in my arms. No moving necessary. The flowers are beautiful. That made me happy, and no, I haven't suddenly decided to get married anytime soon! My mom and dad were both freaked out when I told them I caught the bouquet. Apparently they believe in the meaning more than I do.
After catching the bouquet, I was waiting until the lucky guy got to put the garter on my leg. I remember past weddings not wanting to catch the bouquet solely for avoiding this, but drunken jen was amused by this idea. I waited, but it never happened! I guess they didn't know of that tradition. No worries, later that night I enforced it! And of course I made him use his teeth. That's how it's supposed to be done. Apparently I agreed that Greg could take it off later that night, but I don't remember that part! I ended up going to sleep with it on cause it amused me. How silly of me!
We were sent home with ALOT of cookies and cake. That's what we had for breakfast on Sunday. Mmmm cake and cookies. Well, I guess it was more lunchtime by the time I wasn't dizzy any longer and was out of bed. We played some cards, watched baseball and nascar, and I napped later. Very enjoyable weekend.

All Done!!!!!!!!!
I finished my last exam this morning. Wohooo. Now I just have to wait until the school confirms I did in fact, complete my degree requirements and I'm no longer a student!! Wohooo!!
It's 4:30 am. I tried to sneak into my house, but I didn't succeed. Ryan's dad is sleeping on the couch. I was as quiet as possible, but I still woke him up. *shakes head*
I went to weavers for a friends birthday celebration, then to Matt's house for "South A reunion" party. There weren't many South A People. But it was fun.
Now I'm calculating stats for my forecasting class. My prof posted the final marks at approx 8:30 tonight.
HAHAAHAHHA.

Blue cake is yummy!
Monday was a night of vicTORY! Stephen Harper and the Conservatives won a minority government. Horray! I made blue cake to celebrate. Delicious. The night could have only been better if a conservative won in the 416 area. I don't like the idea of moving to such a liberal area. Ah well, at least they'll have one more supporter there.
Last week we went to Bomber. We pre-drank here and I was very amused. There wasn't too many of us, but still lots of fun. Too bad Bomber was cut short by a fire alarm. I've never heard of a fire alarm going off during a bomber night before. How dumb. We were kicked out and off of the patio so we went to keep warm in the Math building. Talked to some random people until we were allowed back in to get our coats. Keizo was a sweetie and went and got the girls coats for us. I wish I could go to Bomber tonight, but I've left my pension assignment too long and it'll probably take me a long time to finish. Reading pension plan texts isn't fun.
On the weekend, Keizo, Matt, Ryan and I played Illuminate. It's one of Rob's card games. He let me borrow it since he doesn't play it anymore because it can get very spiteful. Yes, it can get spiteful, but it's also alot of fun. I want to play more!
I should get back to my pension assignment... but I'd rather watch grey's anatomy. Tough call =)

Smirnoff Twisted
Last night I went to Mitchell with Keizo for his friends Buck and Doe. I got to try Smirnoff Twisted Watermelon and Black Cherry. The Black Cherry was better than the Watermelon, but I still like Mandrin best. I also got a Smirnoff Twisted bottle opener! It rocks. The night was mostly talking to Keizo's Mitchell friends. His one friend who is tall and strong decided it was fun to lift me up and raise me up into the air. It was amusing.
Right now we're making cookies. The first batch is cooked. They look really yummy!

A bit of Everything
The weekend was lots of fun. Went to Benny's for supper with Keizo when I got into Waterloo. Watched some tv and slept lots. Saturday I watched Quantum Leap while Keizo watched Football then it was Bomber!! Bomber was lots of fun. We celebrated Wilson birthday and I got to see a friend I hadn't seen in a while which was cool.
On Saturday I got home in time to watch my newly decided favourite NFL team the Colts lose horribly to the Pats. Not such a bad thing, since Keizo is happy and I can cheer for them again.
Tuesday we went to Zelda's for supper. I was happy because they use no trans fat, non hydrogenated oil and have really nice salads. If we go in February we can watch Drag Idol *lol* Too funny.
Pleasant money surprise... I found out yesterday they are reimbursing me for my course 2 fee. They didn't mention they did that during the interview so bonus.
I discovered yummy low fat no trans fat granola bars that i'm in love with. Presidents Choice Rocks. Oh, and Jif has been added to the acceptable spready goodness list of Skippy and Nutella.
The OC was wacked tonight. I'm curious to see what next week will bring. Hopefully it resolves some things.
My dad's DVD burner is so much fun. I want one now =)
My brother leaves Sunday =( People probably think I'm so weird since I kept going on how I wanted him out!! Oh how things change...
I really want to go shopping. I think I need a shopping buddy in toronto. I want to go to the Eaton's center but I don't really want to go alone. I wonder if my girl friend Jeff would be willing to take up the challenge. It's much more difficult than just a girl's night in hehe.
