Alberta

OK So this was awesome cool, and wonderful for the first week but now I'm just bored. I was supposed to work tonight and that was going to be the highlight of my day. Sad I know but I was actually looking forward to work but now I don't have to work because Karen came home and told me that there was a restaurant fire today and the kitchen is full of really smelly disgusting foam ew but such is life. I don't have to work now till at least Sunday, or Monday :( It's amazing how much your daily activities can change when you change your surroundings.... Yup I love my life. :D Well I will soon.... I hope.... I need to have faith :)

Happy Times; In My Life, Old and New To Come.

I, as you all well know, am moving to Alberta in about a month. I went to bible study last night over at Annette and Scotty's house, it reminded me of the old days. The old days when I would set up for New Heights starting at seven in the morning, and all my happy times, and .... I'm going to miss this more then anyone can understand. Last night I was surroundedd by those people that are very close to me. I was reminded how much I am loved. I am happy that I am going to be with my daughter, but I don't know how long I will be able to stay away for. Don't get me wrong, the internet is an amazing thing that helps people stay connected to each other, but I am going to miss my everyday hugs and being picked on by those who love me. Right now I am sitting down at the Bad Dog Grill, helping Scotty in the kitchen with prep and such, I miss Mona Pizza. Mona's was my release from anything and everything. When I was at Mona's, in my element, all my worries drifted away I was happy to be at work and to be running my restaraunt. But such is life, and everything happens for a reason. I'm really thankful that Scotty lets me come in and work. It's almost like I remember it. I go back to my statement of Ambiguous. Well that's the best way to explain my feelings. I'm quite sure that most of you feel a little betrayed that I am leavinG. I know you put all that work into showing me that I am loved and appreciated and then I decide that I am leaving. Well I am completely apologetic. I pray that you'll forgive me. I will be back. This isn't the end of Amanda as we know it. I'm cpoming back. I promise. I love you all. Well to ens this on a positive note back to work I go. I will be in Mission until probably Saturday or Sunday. I have a baby shower to go to on Sunday in Chilliwack.

Love always,
Amanda.

YAY.... meh .... Ya.

Not many people know this yet but, I’m going on a journey. Not only a physical journey, but it is also a spiritual one as well. I have been informed that my immediate family is moving. So doing my best effort to be the most suitable mother that I can be, I am going to leave as well. Recently I was having a conversation with an old dear friend of mine from “way back in the day” and we discussed my situation and all the details of it. We came to the conclusion that it was ambiguous, thoroughly ambiguous. My situation was difficult to comprehend, distinguish, or classify the need for me to act, and what act was needed for me to do. So I decided to follow my heart and to follow the love of my life, my wonderful and astounding, baby girl, Emily. I know I haven’t been the best mother like so many of my young friends that also have children, have done. I have a brain injury, and without my mother I don’t know where my daughter and I would be. My mom is a wonderful woman, and I love her to pieces. She’s my savior, and I apologize if I haven’t expressed how thankful I really am that you’re in my life, and how much you’ve helped me. I know it’s hard a lot of the time for you to have to raise another child. I just want you to know that I love you and am extremely appreciative of your kindness. Emily is wonderful too. She amazes me in everything she does. She is the smartest two year old I know. Furthermore I know this is not exactly the most suitable method for me to let everyone know that I won’t be around for much longer but I had to listen to my inner person, and do what is right. During my decision making process to follow my mother and daughter, I lost a couple (what I thought at the time) were my good friends. I’m sorry that I have to let them go from my life. But such is life. I was once told by an older person that I was quite close to that “Everything happens for a reason Amanda.” I now know that this is true. I have an opportunity to start my life over. Pretty much reinvent myself, and I am going to seize that opportunity.

OK So It's Official I've made the decision!!!

I'm going without a doubt in my mind. I lost a couple "good" friends because of it. But what's gotta be done has gotta be done. If you were me what you do???? Exactly what I thought. As of mid June to July I'm Gandi. Miss You and love you all. But Such Is Life.

Well Hmmm

OK So I was chilling (staying) at my "friends" house right?? Where, when, or who is not the point.... But ya I was staying with this so called friend of mine, and some family shit went down in my life and I had to make a very tough decision.... I've lost two "good friends" because of it but my take on that is if you can't understand the stress I am dealing with then I guess you weren't even my friends to begin with. Don't get me wrong I trusted you both and love you but I can't get shit on from both sides. See what I'm saying? I can't deal with the pain and hurt so I'm just going to do what I know is right and live my life how it is meant to be lived. I'm sorry our friendship and good times together had to end so dumbly but Such Is Life. Shit Happens, hell it happens to the best of us. Even on good days. I hope you two have fun together. I wish you all the best in times to come, and remember if you ever need someone to vent at I'm only a phone call away. I know you said you never wanted to speak to me or hear from me again, but I must be a sucker for punishment or something.... And if not like I said have a good life, I hope you make the best of it.

What The Heck.....

I was expecting child tax to be direct deposited into my bank account last night and I didn't get it. My money didn't come in. I'm upset about this. I am planning to drive to the bank right now. (Or soon anyway) My car is running on empty to but.... Such Is Life. I was going to go shopping and buy some food for my lunches for work but apparently I can't do that. WOW our government is wonderful. I just love it.



Again I need a self reminder "Such is Life".

My job .....


BA DA BA BA BA I hate my job...... Ha Ha I just saw the commercial on T.V. And that "revised" jingle popped into my head as I sang along. He He. Just kidding I like my job..... Actually I value my job a lot and am happy to get treated properly in the workplace not like I was at my other McDonald's..... That's a story for another day.

I'm not feeling the love.....

But it's understandable that no one has read my blog because I didn't post anything on my other blog for like a year. But I'm Back now..... He He. Why am I up???? I have to work tonight 9PM to 5AM good times.

DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I.Q. (intelligence quotient) in general, is an assessment of your ability to think and reason. IQ score is a standardized way of comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as you are. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in your general age group that you have basically an average intelligence. Most psychologists would say those scoring in a range of 95 to 105 are of a normal intelligence or have an average IQ. Actual IQ score may vary plus or minus five points since it is very difficult to get an IQ score with complete accuracy. Keep in mind, there are many outside factors that may have a negative impact on your score. For instance, if you are not feeling well at the time of taking the test. Or perhaps you are distracted by something on that particular day. These things may affect your score. Additionally, IQ is not the be all end all of a person's abilities in life. IQ score fails to measure things such as manual dexterity (obviously), musical talent, and a slew of other abilities that may lead one to many different successes in life. However, your score on an IQ test will give you a pretty accurate indication of the ability you possess to think, reason and solve problems which can often be critical in many phases of your life.

Such Is Life

I have been crazy depressed lately for a number of various reasons, and I decided to take on a saying that my grandmother always used to tell me. The Sentence is very simple yet extremely complex all at the same time. The sentence is made of three simple one syllable words. I was actually just reminded of the term when my friend said it to me, and the amazing advise from my grandma is "Such Is Life." I have been down in the dumps and feeling like crap then I say to myself Such is Life. And it works well. You just have to have faith. Such is life, it will all work our in the end. You feel like your drowning in your Drama ridden life. But in all reality you're going to be fine. Life figures itself out.

The debate in my mind and thet decision I ended up with....

OK so I just got a new job at McDonald's in Surrey and for the next 3 weeks I'm covering shifts for Madhu, the regular late night graveyard drive through clerk. I just learned drive through on Thursday and now I have 3 weeks worth of late night shifts.... Fun Fun.... But money is money right?? Ya well, my debate is that I have to work tomorrow night so I'm planning to stay up tonight and go to bed in the morning that way I can wake up around 5 PM and then go to work for 9. Makes some sense so I think we'll see when I blog tomorrow. Lol.
