The Last 5 Days.

I haven't really had a lot of energy to post about anything lately. The last 5 days of my life have been pretty up and down for good and bad and somewhere in between. I suppose I have enough to post about now to leave me in a good mood by the end of it, so I decided that I would post about what's happened to me in the last 5 days.

Day 1. Thursday January 20, 2011.

So, Thursday was awesome. For Christmas, Alex bought me tickets to the Canucks game, and the game were going to go to was this past Thursday. It was SO much fun! I hadn't ever been, and it was SO enjoyable to sit in the arena and enjoy the game from a different perspective and in the arena setting. Canucks fans are the best, they really are... and despite our 2-1 loss in a shoot-out, I was still so excited to be there and have a great time with my boyfriend! =)

Our seats were pretty great - the Canucks shot our way twice, so we got to see them a lot!

So, Thursday was great, I had tonnes of fun, and I think Alex did too! Thursday was the start of what should have been a great weekend. Too bad that wasn't the case.

Day 2. Friday, January 21, 2011.

Friday actually wasn't that bad, it was a normal Friday. I spent it cleaning my room, doing laundry, all the not so fun things that sometime just must get done. My room is very clean though, so I can't complain too much about my friday. My mom and I also went to go see 'No Strings Attached' and I loved it. I thought it was hilarious, and I would even go so far as to say that I would see it again in the theatre, which is something that I don't often want to do!

Natalie Portman was cute as ever, and Ashton Kutcher was hilarious as always.  It's a really great pick me up movie with a lot of hilarious moments. Predictable, yes... but it was still amazing.

Saturday, January 22, 2011

Saturday fucking sucked. Pardon my language, but it did. The day started off terrible because I slept in and was kind of late to work, but not really super late. I spent the whole day working my butt off helping inconsiderate customers and what reward do I get? I get laid off. Yeah. I lost my job on Saturday. They can say what they want, it's always the same "we're restructuring the company and there isn't a job for you anymore" but if they really felt that bad, they would have FOUND a job for me. Jerks. In any case, the day got even worse with a Canucks loss to Calgary in a shoot-out, which didn't make me feel good. I ate a McFlurry for dinner because it was the only things Alex could convince me to eat... and that was the worst day of the week.

Sunday, January 23, 2011.

Sunday also sucked because I was suppose to go to work, but being laid off the day before had nothing to do. So, I went to IHop and ate a ridiculous breakfast of eggs and chocolate chip pancakes (sadness defeats my desire to be skinny) and then went home and fell asleep for like 2.5 hours because I was bored and sad. What a fantastic weekend, right? Just amazing. Ugh.

Monday, January 24, 2011.

Yesterday was actually not a terrible day. I woke up, started looking on craigslist for jobs, applied to one or two, and tried to get myself back on pace. I wasn't doing much, I think I actually may have taken a nap by accident, when I got a text from Alex asking me if I wanted to go to the Canucks game last night! I, of course, said sure! His co-worker, and a former co-worker of mine, got a hold of 4 tickets to the game last night, and we were invited to go! It was amazing. I think the Canucks played so well just to make me happy, and I was HAPPY. Samuelsson (my favourite!) out of his goal dry spell, named 3rd star of the night, and a 7-1 win over Dallas. 7 amazing goals, and we got to see it all from here:

Row 19, lower bowl, club seats. This means, for those of you who aren't co-ordinated with hockey terms, we were REALLY close! And we were on the end where the Canucks scored like 5 of those 7 goals, which was AMAZING. The pictures really don't do it justice to how close we really were, and because it was a Ring of Honour night, we got pins and stuff on our seats! I had a lot of fun last night, and it really made up for my terrible, terrible weekend. 2 in-arena hockey games in 5 nights? Who can complain?

So here we are, Tuesday January 25th, 2011. My baby brother is turning 17 today, which makes me feel kind of old. Haha. I'm hoping to get back onto the horse and look for more jobs today, get back on track with my working out, starting eating something other than ice cream and chocolate, and try to enjoy the rest of my week as much as I can. The last 5 days have been a lot of up and down, but I'm picking myself up and getting going again. Trying really hard to just keep a positive outlook on things. I'm reading a great book (The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory) I'm not poor yet, and school is creeping up on me quite quickly, so perhaps things will be okay after all.

Enjoy your week! =)

Blog, and be happy (Oh, and Go Canucks, Go!)
