Pumpkins!

We carved a couple of pumpkins tonight. I'd say it went fairly well. The first cut is the deepest....
Jess had never carved a pumpkin before tonight. They don't celebrate Halloween in Aus Land.
It was weird.
Lets all eat the guts!
Meow! My finished product. I've got to say that I'm pretty dang proud of it.

Brenda carved a clown. Jess helped her. I didn't want anyone helping me with the cat. I was feeling greedy and wanted to do it all myself.

Happy Halloween! I cannot wait for tomorrow. I'll be dressed up all day long at work and well into the evening. Heck! I'll probably still be in my costume at 7am on Sunday morning.
Be sure to party safe!

Family!

As sad as it was to say goodbye to Baba it was really nice to see my whole family together again. Just like when I was younger.
The whole family. Grandpa, his 4 children (my mom, and uncles) and 14 grandchildren and step grandchildren. Woah.
The oldest cousins. Rebecca, Katrina, Sister, Jessie and myself.
The oldest cousins and my Momma!
For Baba.

My new tattoo. I'll get it filled in the next time I go home.

In Loving Memory

This post is for my Baba. She sadly passed away on Tuesday, October 20th. She was a beautiful person who would help anyone if she could. She will be missed by all of us. Her little buddy Maxi. (also lovingly known as "Red Beard")
Baba, Grampy and the cats.

old mcdonald...

Had a farm.

I've been in Comox since last Tuesday, the 6th of October. It's been a good visit. Some sad parts but there's no need to dwell on them. Last Saturday Momma took me over to Mark and Vals place. I ate a brownie (one of the pot variety) and then played with farm animals. Getting my hair outt've my face before I deal with the pig. I look like I'm marching. "look out, Pig! I'm comin' in!" On a fucking mission. I was making a pig face and looking the pig in the face. Oink!Sister and the two piggies. I'm fairly certain the one on the ground is SkidMark. If you rub Skids tummy he/she/it will almost instantly flop over. Doesn't even give a shit what it's going to be landing. FLOP! The one with the dirty ass I believe is Ricki Lake. She/he/it doesn't do anything quite as cool as SkidMark. She/he/it kind of just runs up to you and leans agaist your legs. It was fairly annoying. I have healing hands. Didn't you know? WARNING: Roosters will attack if you sport a tie dyed shirt in their presence. They do NOT like to be the 2nd most colourful in a crowd.

Yeah, the rooster was not a fan of my tie dye. He chased me a couple of times. Not okay. An angry rooster just given 'er in your exact direction is a frightening situation to be in. (PS this is not the actual rooster that came at me. This is The Ron's rooster)Echo! She's old and limps. But man can she HOWL. Pretty sure she ate that apple. Bellies and Sister. Bells looks um-impressed. (snort)
Horse shoes! It was Val and I against Momma and Sister. Val and I won. We only went to 5 points. I got 2 of our 5 though. :)It was probably this cheer or dance or whatever I'm doing in this photo that made Val and I win. It could have also been that we just plain old rocked. Hullo! Family! Myself, my lovely Momma, and beautiful Sister. Love you girls!

Friday night was Donnie and Brittany's engagement party. I proceeded to get smashed and had to put myself to bed much too early (in my opinion) and therefore there's a lack of pictures.
Britt looks so happy as she gazes up at her slightly mentally challenged fiance. Har har har. Just kidding Donnie. We all know you're not actually slow. I'm probably all angry that I finished the Jager. Brittany gave it to me. I kind of blame my outrageously smashed state on it. It could have also been all the pot I was smoking. Ya know, the combination of the two. Moooustache! Pretty sure I went to bed very soon after this one was taken. And only remembered that I'd had a moustache on my finger after I went through my pictures the next morning. I went for breaky with Raia and her Mom on Monday. At Becky's, of course. Totally love that little restaurant. We went to the Shamrock Pumpkin Patch afterwards. They had all these spooky halloween decorations up. I liked it. I got to hold a chicken. I stepped on one later. It was brown. I was totally sober too. Got a free sucker inside the barn, thats what's in my mouth.

I'm looking forward to going home to Jasper but I'm going to miss this home too. I wish I could combine Comox and Jasper and make one superior home.

PS. I did infact wear the EXACT same clothes on both Friday and Saturday. I even slept, wait no, passed out in them on Friday night. Gorgeous, I know.

Hi.

Hi. I just want to let you guys know that I'll probably be updatting tonight or tomorrow. woot. I'm in Comox right now. Let you know how it's going soon!Here's a preview!

Happy Birthday Raquel!

Birthday Girl!





Classic
I'm feeling kind of lame and I don't feel like captioning every picture. So I'll just do a nice little blurb here.
Sunday was Raquels birthday. She owns a cafe called Spooners and bought a liquor liscence for the night so we all partied there before hitting up the B. It was a freakin hoot. I'm pretty sure I fell on someone at one point in the evening. Ha!
We went back to Spooners after the B and partied there for a bit.
After after party at Brendas. Ass hole security guard. Party done early. ish.

So here's some really sad news. I'm not going on my trip anymore :( Brenda got fired for the party (staff accom) and doesn't get her bonus so she can't afford to go. I'm upset. But I'm still going home for a visit. Look out Comox! Here I come.
