hello liz is still alive :)

Ya I know its been awhile, so I gots lotz tooo cover!

Hmmm where to start oh I guess camping - the weekend turned out not have the best weather but it was still great times. Friday we got going at a fairly good time, so we were able to set up the camp sites before everyone got there which was much better then having everyone frantic in the dark. The camp sites were nice a large, but little cover and I hear this makes a difference, I undo myself because I am not a camping expert, but I thought they were great. NO bugs is my only condition for greatness and there were only mesquitoes so woohoo. So onto the rain, it began late Friday night, so I am told, I was out like a light, I think its the fresh air, I heard it a little bit during the night but that was all, Saturday morning was a little chilly, but not too bad, it looked like it could still turn out to be rain-free, but oh no, RJ and I had a nap around 2ish I think, because everyone went to the beach, but we were tired (once again fresh air) but oh man by about 3-4ish, it was down-pouring, like cats and dogs as they say! So we all huddled under the beautifully built tarps and played some games.......and it just kept on raining and raining, but I don't think we all started feeling bad until night time because then it was cold and raining.

By then most of us were kinda thinking about home and warmth and getting dried out, so the decision had to be made what were we gonna do, granted this was after the boy's site flooded and everyone was drenched...BUT Ryan and Rebecca came to the rescue they graciously invited everyone to their apartment in Peterborough (where my dad is from, just had to mention that), the drive was great, I was able to with Lin's which was cool to have some alone time with her, which is always a challenge in a large group...so we had some great girl chat. It was great!! So we moved in to Ryan and Rebecca's for the night..they have an adorable cat named Q (spelling I am not sure off, so I am going with the single letter Q)....she was a sweetie, even though I had a horrible reaction to her fur, its been awhile since I have been around a cat, so ya I puffed up and was stuffed up a little as well as sneezing but I lived and we had a good dry night. Okay fast forward the next afternoon, after a great lunch we headed off to the movies, we saw Shrek 2 -- which was great -- so hilarious -- I think they topped the first one, which was pretty hard to do! So we then headed home (well me to RJ's), because I never get to stay there, so I did -- I know such a rebel, but it was good, we watched some movies and made pizza -- and finally fell asleep. Overall, the weekend was cool -- I mean getting together with everyone is always the point right!!

So around a week later, RJ injured himself really really bad -- he was a work, the chopper to be precise and he was cutting a box to put it up on the shelve, when out of nowhere a lady rams into him with her bugggy and sends his knife into his thumb, cutting roughly from the tip of the nail until the end of the thumb. Shreking in pain, RJ swears very loud, and comes running to the front, asking for paper towels and yelling at his girlfriend me for no reason hahahhahaha! I am soo funny!! Anyways, he finally gets it all cleaned up and we bandage him up, but he had to go to the hospital because he definitely needed stitches -- so being the trooper that he is he finished out his shift like a goofball and then went to the hospital (driven by Richard). RJ ended up with 2 stitches on top of the nail and 2 stitches underneath the nail (how this is possible liz does not know, but this is why I did not go into medicine). Long story short, it was a horrible painful injury and will probably ruin his nail forever and ever oh and ever!! But we will learn to live with this deformity. hahahhahaha -- RJ was on the phone when I wrote this, so as a disclaimer I am not usually this mean just for the record okees!!

Hmm sorry about the spelling and sentence problems it was late and this is too long to re-read :)

What else is new -- hmm I graduated on last Wednesday (#277) it was a nice ceremony - it was really hot, but always better than rain right....RJ looked adorable, so hopefully we got some great pictures, we will have see later though because I still have to finish the film up. It feels weird it feels like I am still going to school in Sept, but nope that is not the case. Now onto to finding a job, errr, I know this is going to be a horrible process where I am not going to be to find anything I like, or they are going to hate me and find out that I am not smart at all, and that this degree is really nothing important to anyone, but we will have to see how it goes -- still I am hopefully, so fingers crossed please and thank u !!

Oh last friday we had a going away party for one of our co-workers, well she is the manager's daughter and she is going back home usually she stays all summer, but she is taking courses this summer so she has to leave -- we went to JJQ's near the Mandrin --it was great times......I was soo drunk when I got home, I was actually sick in my bed, owowoh I haven't done that ever in my life. BUt my mom was actually super comforting, as my dad laughed and made fun of moi heheh - self-inflicted pain as he calls it :) But I was much better the next day........tired and worn out, but feeling good -- it was such a good night, I really kinda miss those funny drinking nights of our former highschool days ahhhh memories!!

Anyways this was too long -- I hope you are still awake, and I will post more, now that my computer is all better - thanks to the great and fabulous RJ ( my cutie) hehe!

toodles all
Always Lizzard :)
