The Litterbox

I haven't updated this journal in some time, but that's manly due to the fact that nothing particularly new or interesting has gone on. And, to be honest, I've been busy too. With work and school my time is pretty much taken up and when I do have spare time I like to just relax.

So far work is going good, my site is still up and running and staying at a steady membership level which is good because it's supporting me while I'm going to school full time.

School is going great, again like my other terms so far my lowest mark is an few A's and I'll be done school come the end of April :D I've decided to graduate with a Office Administration certificate (it only takes one year).

And I see I still haven't posted those pictures :P ...I'll eventually get around to that....

Goodness, I keep forgetting to update this thing...mind you whenever I remember it always seems to be at school where I don't have access to post picture (like right now for instance). But lots has happened! Well, lots for me.

First, in mid-November Steve (my husband) and I went in to get a new used car. Turns out that this was during GM's "Wish & Win" special and we won $9000 towards a brand new car! Woo! On top of that, I got $1000 for my old car (elligable for Car Heaven), cash for being a student and an early GST rebate. So at the end of it we had $11,000 off the new 2008 Cobalt.

It's Silver :3 (I'll have pictures posted up later on).

As for my first 2 terms in College I've passed them all with A's and A+'s :D And sitting at 4.35 GPA. The 3rd term is going great so far and I'll be looking at mid-terms at the end of January.

And finally, I've got my ass working out and cutting back on the pop (and junk food over all) and in just 5 days I've managed to already lose 5 lbs \o/

Also, the cats are maow (pictures of them later too).

Wow, can't believe that by the end of tomorrow my first term classes are done and I'll be doing my finals next week. The great thing is I them on Mon and Tues so I'll get 5 days off before my next term starts. Whoo! To make things even better I only have one final and the rest are just "unit tests". Even though I know most of the stuff being taught, there are a few things I've learned :) So far I'm an A+ to A student...I would be disappointed if I wasn't doing good :P

Well, not much else to say. I've been busy and it's been mostly about school.

So yesterday's first class was...interesting. Actually I was bored out of my mind, since I know most of this stuff in Word Pro 1, but hey it's an easy credit so I shouldn't complain.

At the end of the class is when it got strange. Just before we left, I could smell something...familar. Looking over at one of my classmates, she giggled at me as I figured it out. Apparently, pot smoke was wafting in through the air vents O.o Someone thought that standing by it would suck the smoke away from them, but only suceeded in getting it spreading around the upper floor for the morning :P

So, that's about all I have for now and I'll leave you all with more pictures of my cats. Autumn has this nack for looking normal the moment the flash goes off, so it's hard to get her in a moment of non-perfection :P

Tada! Now that mid-term week is over I can finally update with some more picture. These are from Steve and I being in Nova Scotia this summer :)

The image is a little small, but cliffs waaaaaay in the back is a wind farm. Surprisingly loud from where we were standing.


A surprise picture I took of Steve. We were collecting seashells and polished glass.


A trip to Louiseberg we took with my mother (seen in this picture).


The french guard...can we figure out the password?


My mother and Steve posing on the cannons overlooking the ocean...I dont' think we were suppose to be here, but oh well XD


My parents relaxing on their back poarch.


And finally, Miss P. showing off her belly :P

Man, it was a horrid weekend. Spent most of the weekend in bed ill to my stomach, as it seemed it didn't like food in it and I couldn't exactly go hungry for those days :P So I got myself a crappy long weekend.

Aside from that, I did get some stuff done...sadly two 0s on two of my assignments because I wasn't there and there are no make-ups for them, but they're only like 1 point each :P No big worries. The classes are easy and I've already got myself caught up.

But enough about school and my health. I plan on posting some more picture us for all to see, which will be some that I took while Steve and I visited my parents in Nova Scotia this summer...there aren't many but I like the few we did get :)

Also, though my husband hates me reminding him, Steve is 30 today :D And he still acts like a big kid ;)

Ok, so I'm finally posting my wedding pictures. Our wedding was held on July 21, 2007 ... after of 9.5 years of being together.

Vivan does the honor of wedding Steven and I.


Beautiful flower arrangement, courtesy of my mother.


Wonderful paint made by Steve's youngest sister.


Super detailed and gorgeous cross-stick by Steve's Grandmother (this photo doesn't do it justice)


Ah, blissful marriage :P I'm already wanting to kill him after 15 mins of being Robyn Lourie XD


Of course there are lots more wedding pictures than this, but I'm not going to flood my journal with them. My parents weren't there because they live too far away, and I really wanted to see them this summer. We (with my father's side of the family) had a huge BBQ to celebrate our marriage when Steve and I went down to visit.

Ok, time to start this journal off right. And by that I mean posting senseless pictures of my cats :D

Note: The calico is Autumn and the russian grey is Promice :3 Also, these were taken when I was playing around with my webcam...had some friends watching my cats being cats XD

As you may notice my journal is empty! Yup, cleaning it up and planning to have it work-safe for family to read it :)

So this is a sort of TBA entry ;)

EDIT: Just realized that 1 year ago to the date...I did the very same thing to this journal O_o
