Oooh...Look what I did...

My Car...

During the last snow fall I rear ended someone and I have FINALLY gotten a straight answer from ICBC/Kirmac - my car WILL be fixed and I should be getting it back sometime late next week. It's been a bit weird the last couple weeks having to share a car with my mom. I feel like I'm 16 again having to ask if I can use her car etc. It hasn't been too bad but I still can't wait to get my car back - the one touchy thing is that my insurance runs out on January 30 and I'm not sure that I am going to get my car back in time to re-insure it. I'm sure that it will all work out fine.

Ugh..MySpace

I got an email from Eryn today and it the link to the RAIN MySpace page he created. I was curious so I clicked on it to check it out.
I have now found out that SO MANY of the people I know have myspace pages!
So now I too have set up a myspace page - I am such a follower!
I have even put a layout on it - that was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
I really like the fact that you can have slide shows and background music on myspace which if you can do it with blogger then I don't know how - haha - I don't know how to do it with myspace yet either but atleast I know it is possible.

Accounting I - Quiz #1

Yesterday was my first quiz in Accounting and I think it well pretty well. The quiz was to make the Financial Statements (Income Statement, Statement of Owner's Equity and Balance Sheet) for the first month of a business using the information provided. We were given 30 minutes for the quiz which for any other class is probably plenty but it takes a lot of time to put all the information together. I had a tough time right at the end when my Balance sheet didn't balance - but I figured it out (I think). Emma and I both finished with 2 minutes to spare. The majority of the class was still writing furiously when we left. I'm kind of concerned now that 3 hours for our 50% final may not be enough time if it took 30 minutes to produce one set of Financial Statements. Oh well I guess we will have to wait and see.

Business Math - YUCK!

So yesterday was my first Business Math class. The real first one was supposed to be last Wednesday but we got snowed out. So since we missed a class my teacher decides to skip all the review that he had planned to do in class last week and just move on to new stuff. AHHHH! I haven't taken math in 6 six years! The last math class I took was in Grade 11. I can't remember how do anything! Chapters 1 - 4 in the textbook are all review so yesterday we started on Chapter 5. So I have resolved to buckle down and do the review all by myself. So I figured out that I have a total of 9 Chapters that I need to go through by Monday for both my classes. I always pair the wrong classes together. I either end up taking 1 easy class or 2 hard classes. I think I am going to need to disappear for awhile and hopefully be able to come out and play sometime before I move. :(

I have also noticed that I complain ALOT! I am sorry for that and will try to be more positive in the future :)

Sick Day

Yesterday I took a sick/snow day. Since getting in my little accident I'm kind of freaked about driving in snow. Plus the only vehicle I can drive is my mom's car and she would KILL me if I crashed it.
I'm back at work today and I came in to find out that my boss had just moved my appointment with a client until today instead of rescheduling it till next week. I was late to class on Monday even though I left work at 2:00 so I definitely need to be done with this client by 2:00 today or I will be late again. But this client won't be available till atleast noon today. *sigh* Nothing is ever easy.
I hate being sick because when you are taking cold medicine everything is weird...hopefully the buzz will wear off before I need to drive anywhere.
Wow I am totally scatterbrained today I had better just try and get some work done.

So now I'm sick...

So not only did I rear end someone but now I am sick and I have succeeded in making my poor mother sick. Oh yes it was my master plan to making my long suffering mother horribly ill because that is exactly what I want to live with a big crybaby who won't take her medicine. In case you didn't guess my mother seems to think that I made her sick on purpose - which I did not do. She is terrible when she is sick! All she does is sniffle and complain and cough and whine. She won't take her medicine because she hates to do what she is told - grrr...what is she 3? I'm taking my medicine and I'm fine-ish *sigh* why won't she just take her medicine! Why do I even have to make her take her medicine - I can't wait to go to England - then I won't have to deal with 51 year old children - however goodness know what will happen if I'm not here to make sure she does what supposed to.
*sigh**cough* *sniffle* I'm sick too you know I want someone to take care of me :(
Oh woe is me I suppose. Whatever, colds can't last forver.

I HATE SNOW!

So yesterday I was driving home from work and I slid into the back of a municipal work truck! The truck is fine - my car is not. I have to get it fixed - it is drivable but that it is not advisable since the right light is now non-existent.
Gosh darn freaking snow I hate you!
At least all the people are fine but that's it I'm moving to Hawaii!
UGH!

White Ninja

Thank you Megan for introducing me to The White Ninja!

Savior - Skillet

Skillet | Rebirthing

I bought Skillet's New CD a little while ago and this is one of the songs on it - super cool!

Kingdom of Heaven

So I just finished watching Kingdom of Heaven and I must admit it was pretty good. Mama Maria got it for me for Christmas and I just finally got the chance to see it the whole way through. I would recommend it only to people who don't mind lots of gory blood spurting scenes.

Merry Christmas

Next Year...

So Emma and Steve came over for family dinner last night and it turns out that Em and I are going to be in the same class come January. We're both taking "Accounting I" on Monday nights (I am also taking Business Math on Wednesday Nights - woot). I think it will be a lot of fun being in the same class as Emma. We had such a blast working together a few months back when she was helping me out at work.
On a side note she mentioned that she was a bit frustrated because everyone calls her "Emma Cherry" now - not just plain "Emma" - I just smiled and nodded because everyone calls me "Sarah Cherry" rarely is it ever "Sarah". I think it has a lot to do with the last name. It's just a FUN last name - like "Snowball" (I've noticed that a lot of people do the same to Rachel). I dare say that this is something my dear sister-in-law will just need to get used to. Personally, I don't mind it kind of makes me smile when I hear "Sarah Cherry!" shouted across the church or living room or where ever we are - because at least you know who I am. HAHA!

Oh so productive...

So after weeks of procrastination and lack of doing much of anything I was incredibly productive yesterday.

1. I wrote my final exam and am now offically done school - for this semester
2. I went to work and worked late - past 2:30pm (so it wasn't so late but it was late for me)
3. I finished ALL my Christmas shopping - in only 3 hours of contastnt shopping/driving
4. I baked Gingerbread men
5. I made my boss a Christmas Basket

That may not seem like super productivity to you but to me that is very good.

By the by - The guy sitting next to me in my exam cursed through the whole thing. I have never realized just how sensitive I am to that. The occasional expletive I have no problem with. I have been known to swear every so often myself. But this guy every couple minutes would, in a loud whisper, call out the f-bomb and or the s-bomb. He was so aggravated and I don't get why. I know it was a final exam but it was only on the last half of the course and we were allowed to have cheat sheets (looseleaf paper, handwritten, both side) and my prof. told us what sections we needed to study. The test was in HTML and Access and she gave us all the HTML codes - Seriously this guy had NO reason to be freaking out so bad. Some people really need to learn to control themselves.

*sigh* whatever...it's over now.

Uh oh...

So my boss comes back Saturday - Just in time for the Sunday Staff Christmas Party - from a two week vacation in Cabo - and I have successfully toasted both her desk and my own.
It's too cold to work at my desk so I have been using hers but that doesn't mean that I cleaned up the mess off my desk before moving - she is forever telling me that my desk is a mess so I don't think that she will take to k indly to the fact that her desk is covered in stuff now too.
Hey I have an idea maybe I should stop fooling around on the internet and actually do some work!

HAha

Snow, Snow Go AWAY!!!

I am SO sick of the SNOW!! - I live in BC because I LOVE the rain - the snow I hate - I'm so glad that it is almost over.

Here are some pics that I took to show just how much snow we've had in the last few days.

Hey who wants to have a BBQ?

What your Step!

Would you like to take a seat?

Anyone want to go for a drive?

I wonder what's hiding under all that snow!

Hip-hip-hooray for Crazy fun parties!

So - Who are you going to be...

Yesterday Maia asked me 'Who' I was going to be for her fairytale birthday party and at that point I had no real anwer - but now I do.

I am going to be...drumroll please...Fariane - Empress of Flanaria - insert stunned silence here

Okay so none of you know who that is which is fine because I made her up - haha

A few years ago I wrote a short sci-fi/fantasy novel and Fariane was my heroine.

Now I'm really excited about your party Maia - I was kind of dreading it before - you know trying to dress up all pretty and stuff can be hard for some people but now if I look weird it's because I'm the ruler of an inter-galactic Empire from far far away - haha!
