April 25th, 2008

So its been a very long while!

Here is whats new. Anthony and I bought a house LAST July its being built from scratch. It is coming along we have it completely bricked now we are waiting for some interior work to be done. Drywall, insulation, basement ifnish. But alas we keep waiting.

Anthony proposed in December as of August 1 next year we will be husband and wife.

Ryan and Liz are getting married in 2 months now :) YAY! We are having Liz’s super fabuloso shower on sunday…

Hrmm thats it I am out of stuff… oh yeah I got a new job and I am bored today.

Long time no write….

June 22nd, 2007

So it’s been a while since I have written and a little bit has happened. I sold my condo last week for 177,000 I only paid 147,000 so that isn’t shaby for 1 year. I decided to sell my condo because Anthony and I want to buy a house together. We have been talking for a while and we decided that we want to buy a new house. Well neither of us makes enough money for us to buy in Mississauga. Semi’s start around 350 and towns start at 300. Its ridiculous. In Milton starting at 325ish are the single houses so we are looking at that. So We now have the profit from the condo and we wont be moving out for at least a year from his parents. Yes thats right I am moving in with his parents. But that is only because Ryan and Liz are now living with my mom.

So in other news Ryan and Liz are home from there crazy adventures. It souns like they had a great time and thats good because now they are crazy busy with hunting for jobs.

What else is new. Not too much. I haven’t really worked out in like 2 weeks because I hurt my knee. But it is getting better and better so I should be back on track by next week.

Anywho back to work.

Woohoo… New news

April 29th, 2007

So here is what is new in my life… I went for a Police interview(pre-interview i would more so call it) and I passed that enough that my interviewer moved me on to the psych test. Let me tell you this was an insane test it was 700 multiple choice questions and it had to be done with a scan card where you have to use a #2 pencil and fill in the circles really dark. My hand really hurt after that. So I did that and now on Tuesday I am going to Pickering for a psych interview. I will post how that goes. On top of that I have been sick really sick for a week and a half and have finally gotten healthy again so tomorrow is back to the gym. I did however take advantage of the 20+ degrees today and went for a walk that was over an hour long it was sooo nice :) Now the temp is dropping again… I actaully don’t mind so much if its like 20+ on the weekends and cooler during the weeks then I don’t feel so bad working.

OH Even bigger news I QUIT THE CLUB. I actaully did it last weekend was my last weekend and I don’t regret it at all…. I am so happy and next weekend I am going out with one of my best friends from University we managed to stay in touch though even though I only went to first year. Then I also have good news our “third muskateer” as we call her Andrea has gotten in touch with us from the great thing called FACEBOOK. So hopefully there will be a great reunion sooner then later…. however due to the fact that Shannon will be off to Europe July 3 and hopefully I will be off to Alymer for police college in september so we will see…. Anywho that is all that is happening in my life right now…. WOOHOO SOPRANOS!

Congratulations

March 27th, 2007

So a big congrats goes out to Ryan and Liz who are now engaged. I am crazy excited for them because they are perfect together. I am also excited because it means liz is going to be my sister in law and I like her a bit so that is good… Hahaha what am I saying I love the girl she is a crazy fiend and keeps my life interesting!

I Passed!!!

March 23rd, 2007

So I did my police test last week and unlike last time I passed this time woohoo!! I got perfect on my curl ups 20/20 and then 16/20 on my push ups, 1/10 on my chin ups(this is an accomplishment for me), 6/10 on bench press(I prolly could’ve done better), 9/10 on body fat, I got 14/20 on my sprint that could’ve been WAY better and 40/50 on my run. So hopefully by august I will improve more on my chin up and bench press and push ups. My rbnnign was godo so I’m not really aiming to impriove but I will prolly get better the more I run outside! Go Me

Happy Anniversary

March 4th, 2007

Happy Anniversary Lindsay and Ggregg! 1 year today and it has just flown by. You two look like you have had a great year. Congrats.

Less then Two weeks

March 4th, 2007

So I’m down to 13 days untill my police test and this time I am not as nervous as I was last time. I am going to go to the gym till next tuesday and then stop because I have to let my body recover for the police test. The test is on St. Patricks day so hopefully I took the friday off from the club so I could get a good nights sleep. So we will see what happens. I will update once I do the test.

Super Bowl

February 3rd, 2007

BORING! I am going to watch some movies and some PVRd shows! Wooohoo thats what I like to do. No football for me. However Anthony is really excited to watch the super bowl! Anywho that is about it.

Sick blah

February 3rd, 2007

So I have thought I was getting sick for two weeks now some days I would wake up and be all achy others i would wake up and be a little bit congested. Then finally yesterday I realized I had a sinus infection and my body was mad at me that I had ignored and it made it so bad that I had to go to the doctor because nasal spray would not clear it up. So yippeee kiay I got a sinus infection. Its fun when I get dizzy spells but that is about it.

Beautiful Snow

January 22nd, 2007

I think snow is one of the most beautiful things… I could do without the -10 and colder weather but it is what it is. It is sooo beautful out though the snow is falling and the sky may be gray but it looks so much nicer then rain and brown grass. But I love the snow it looks sooo pretty. The ground is all white and there is so much you can do that you can’t do except in winter. You can go skiing and snowboarding or you can go skating on an outdoor rink with either snow falling or a nice clear day with the snow looking pretty. I love winter. Anywho thats all I had to say.

Update in Rachels life

January 22nd, 2007

So I have decided to become or at least try to become a Peel Police officer. I have been training since October for the fit test. How it works is you do a 3 tests Analytical, Intelligence, and fit test. You haev to pass each test t odo the next. So I went December 19 to do all my testing and I passed the first too but then I had an asthma attack like non before during my run which is out of 50 and I didn’t get a very good mark(30/50) so I ended up failing that test. But on the bright side I got 67.3% so I get to go back in 3 months. I just have to start running outside to get my lungs used to the cold so I will probably go one day this week after work. My next test is scheduled for March 17. I ONLY have to do the fit test not the whole test so that is good. I have been running inside I think I need to start running outside more like at all. I may try for two times a week and then the 3 times a week I go to the gym I can just lift weights and get my muscles stronger for the bench press and the chin ups… chin ups are very hard I would like to be able to do one. I am up to lifting 100lbs of weight in the gym for chin ups.

Besides that my new car is GREAT I absolutley LOVE it. I am hating commuting in the bad weather but hopefully by next winter I will not be at PlanIt anymore. But other then that my tiny condo is GREAT.

Anthony and I are doing very well. I can’t believe its almost February and we are going to Montreal in 3 weeks. That will be soooo much fun. We are going to see Ottawa vs. Montreal. Montreal is his favourite team. This is the second pro hockey game we will be going to see together. I am excited to go. But we are very good jsut chuggin along. He makes me soo happy and I think I do the same for him. ESPECIALLY when you are sick in the winter having someone you love there helps sooo much.

Other then that not much happening I should get back to work now!!

Long time no talk

January 12th, 2007

So I have recently joined facebook.com its a great site if you want to hunt down old friends from school or just people yoou lost touch with. Now might I add there is a huge chunk of people from highschool that I don’t want to talk to there is still a lot of people that I did really like talking to so I figure what the heck try it out and there is also a think that I am trying to find people from University. Its pretty niffty!!!

However after all of that I was checking comments on my site and I got a comment on my christmas post from a friend from a long time ago that I probably haven’t talked to in 10 years. I don’t know how she found my site but she did so I emailed her back :)

Birthday

January 12th, 2007

So I had a GRAT birthday and was spoiled by my friends, family, boyfriend and his family. I wont go into details of what I got but needless to say I was spoiled :) Thank you EVERYONE. But my most favouritest gift was the one I got myself my 2007 Jeep Compass. Its sooo purty and has lotsa bells and whistles and is not my accent which is a huge plus now I am just in the process of returning the accent and that is going to be a headache but what can you do right. Vroom Vroom!!!

Christmas commeth Christmas goeth

December 26th, 2006

Well how was everyones christmas. Mine was pretty good. I got a SERIOUSLY spoiled by my amazing boyfriend and my mom. So my amazing boyfriend got me Deal or No Deal interactive DVD, a iPod radio adapter, a iPod nano (my iPod mini died so maybe I will replace the battery sooner then later and I will sell it on ebay), and last but not least a gorgeous Diamond necklace. Then my mom gabe me some cash The OC season 3, sweat pants and lots of elephant stuff.

So my christmas went like this. Woke up christmas eve got dressed went to Anthonys parents and then his families christmas party where his whole family was(there were a few missing only 35 people were there). Then we got home at 1am. Then Anthony stayed at my house christmas eve night. Then christmas morning woke up at 8am did gifts with anthony then we went to my moms did gifts with her. Then my family showed up then we ate then went to Anthonys parents again and got home at like 10. Then today (boxing day) got up at 7:30 am to get to Sq1 for 8am. I got lotsa shopping done it was great but now I am pooped.

But the best part of my christmas was when I got to go to sleep with Anthony and wake up with him on christmas morning. Waking up with him made my whole christmas. He could have got me nothing and just waking up with him woulda been great. But alas I got great gifts as well!!!

I love Bob Barker

December 13th, 2006

So I was reading the Star like I do every day on my lunch hour and this article caught me attention. I think this is very generous. Now not only is Bob helping get the message out about spaying and neutering your pets. He is helping out animals that are in captivity. So a big thanks to Bob Barker for helping the elephants.

Donations

December 7th, 2006

Thansk to my wonderful brother I have decided to donate to childs play charity. I actually feel really good I donated to charity that really matters. Sick Kids of toronto is a really good hospital. My cousin Jaelan went there and got his hearing fixed (he is mostly deaf). but they were great to him and I hope that other kids will get toys and stuff to enjoy while they are in the hospital at christmas. Donate if you can afford to.

It’s been forever

November 28th, 2006

So I haven’t blogged in forever so I thought I would.

What new… welll we are less then a month till christmas WOOHOO CHRISTMAS. I like christmas because of a couple things 1. I get to see my family 2. I get gifts 3. I get to spend a whole week with Anthony because my office is closed :) YAY!! 4. Its two weeks till me birthday :) Well with that said and done it will be the first christmas I wont be seeing my brother since the last two years I went to Ireland. So that kinda sucks. But I guess I will live. It will at least be a stress free christmas with not having to worry about traveling to europe. But it shoudl be a good month. I haven’t done too much this past month. I have got most of my christmas shopping done, I bought a new car and I threw amanda a suprise 25th birthday party. Okay so buying a car… yeah thats pretty big. I got a 2007 Jeep Compass in Green. It has power everything, a/c and heated front seats. Now for most that power and a/c thing is like soooooooooo… but for me its huge. My car didn’t have a/c for the past 5 years and in 40 degree heat it was not so much fun. So I can’t wait to get it. Should get it mid december sometime. WOOHOO. So besides that not too much new we are having a Pepper moses play date on monday I will take a video so everyone can watch :)

Moses is sooo cute

November 1st, 2006

So Anthony and I babysat Moses last night… the dog moses.. he is soo adorable go here to watc his video of me and him play fighting. It is cute he thinks hes a mean big dog then he will be a suck like 10 mins later. So Adorable. We had lots of play time and this poochie loves to lick faces when you hold him. But very well behaved doesn’t pee in the house and MAINLY Chews his stuff not your stuff… But I have a feeling that may change shoes. At there house he is not allowed to go on the tile floors but he seems to be pushing the boundries cuz a couple times we had to tell him to go back to the wood floor. anywho it was a fun night.

Whats new…

October 29th, 2006

Well I am a total blog slacker. But what can you do. I don’t have to much to really say. I have been working a lot lately. I have been working at the club every weekend all weekend. I don’t ever really take time off because I have been wise and have actually saved a fair amount of money in the past month. I have now saved all but 15 of my christmas shopping money! GO ME!

So I’ve been at the gym at least 2 days a week. This week I am going to go to try for 3 times at least at the gym. 2 days with running. 1 day on the eliptical. All three days with weights. As well I am going to try to do Abs at home as well as push ups every day. We will see I will update everyone next week.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago Lins and Gregg got a puppy. He is SOOOOOOOOOOO cute. His name is Moses and he is a VERY well behaved puppy. He is to the point now where he sits at the door when he wants to go out its CRAZY how well behaved he is already.

Newho off to watch TV and put away some laundry!

Whats new with me

October 19th, 2006

SO not tooo much has been happening with me I have been spending a time a lot of time trying to get back into shape. I have been going to the gym about 3-4 days a week and I’ve started running because it gives me a goal. My goal right now is to be able to run 1.5 miles in under 14 minutes. By any chance if I could do it in 13 mins 30 seconds I would be very happy. As well I will be lifting weights and working on my abs. I can’t wait till next summer if things go the way I want I will have a wicked body. As it is I have to go buy new jeans.

What else… I’m watching all my shows on TV again but the best thing is 90210 is on TV again. WOOHOO!!! I got a DVR when I got my condo and it allows me to tape 90210 and all my other shows on TV so if I go out at night I don’t ever worry about missing my shows hurrah!!! Its usually my late night shows that I miss!

Work has been slow lately and that worries me a lot. Its quite stressfull when we are slowing down because thats where my next pay cheque comes from. So that has me a bit concerened.

Then there is the car questions what to do? My lease is up in 6 months. But I don’t know what to do I can get out of my lease early but I will most likely have to pay about an extra 2000 dollars and unless a dealership forgives 100% of what I owe to hyundai and the condition the car is in then its not worth getting out of my lease early. If they let me out 100% then I wouldn’t mind getting out early. But otherwise its another 6 months of my accent.

Anywho back to 90210!!!
