Well It's been some time since I last blogged, so much so they made me change to a google account. I must have been the last hold out. Why fix it if it's not broken people?So I was looking for something to do today at work as I was a little bored. So I started reading through Susy's archives. Reading where we were 2 years ago. In less then 50 days we will be married, and while I may not have

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor.""Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies."There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot

Susy wanted me to post a new blog so she could test something out on the website shes making for us. Well this is it then. Don't know what else to say.

Well she's done it once again. Never ceases to amaze me. On Thursday I get home from work and she asks me to marry her. I made her get down on her knees even. She decided that I need an engagement ring too after seeing me with a key ring on my finger so she went out and bought one. She was so cute doing ti too. So there yeah go, I'm now marked as taken.

So in all the years in the event industry I've done many weddings. I thought I knew everything about them. I knew what to expect on the wedding day and how people can react to news on their big day. One of the things I've learnt now with our wedding is all the crazy ideas people come up with before hand. Some of ours have stayed and will be part of the wedding, others got the boot right away.

Well that was it. My last free weekend has come and gone. From here on in there's shows every weekend, well except for one where I have to go to a wedding. But it was my last free one just for us. I'm not really complaining because it means business is good which means I have a job still. So this weekend was a lot of fun. Friday after going back to work to let the stunt planes into Tradex

Well I guess this whole being engaged thing hasn't quite set in yet. Although 20 days is no milestone or anniversary I thought I would mention it. Mostly because after 20 days I still haven't quite digested the fact. All around me there seems to be wedding talk, and most of it I'm in on too. When I talk about Susy though I still talk about her as a girlfriend. Well I guess I just call her

So I have been meaning to blog stuff but you know how it is, you go to do something and something else distracts you. So yeah I haven't blogged much mostly because of how busy things have been. Started the new job of course. Things are good there. Little slow and quiet but I know I'm going to be busy soon enough. I've done about 3 shows so far, mind you they were really small private shows.

Well now this isn't good... I propose on Saturday and now it's Tuesday. I guess it was to be expected but we now have our first wedding magazine in the house! Ahh it's started.

Well if for some strange reason you haven't heard already Susy and I are engaged now. You can follow the link to her blog if you'd like to see the ring. I asked her Saturday morning and she of course said yes(thankfully). I'm very excited and happy. We haven't picked a date as of yet but it looks like summer next year some time. We went and told my parents on Sunday night. Normally the

So Susy and I are busy with the Rodeo right now. We're not working everyday but we might as well be. As there was a shortage of staff to fill the shifts we started calling all the people we knew to fill them. As it turned out my sister is working with us. Yesterday her and Susy worked together for a bit and a couple of times I looked over and saw them just laughing away at something. It was

Well its done, over, kaput. I'm now pulling an Aaron, as in unemployed, actually it's more like I'm on "vacation". My last day at the convention centre was yesterday and I don't start at Tradex until June 1st. Mind you I have about 2 weeks of part time work at Tradex in the next little while followed by the cloverdale rodeo so really I have lots of work but none of its full time pay so it

So in case you haven't read Susy's blog the answer is yes I will be asking her soon. Right now my plan is to ask her later in the year on a date I can not specify. My problem is I don't know if I can wait that long. I guess I'm that excited about it I want to do it now. It's a hard choice. Oh and my next thing would be, do I still have to ask for your blessings Jim?

So I think I've been a little busy lately, well Susy too. We haven't had any time for ourselves. It's been go go go everyday. If we're not working together at Tradex she has school or I'm working downtown. Its getting to be a bit much not just for us but for me personally. Guess I'm not as young as I use to be and I'm burnt out or something. One of these days I'm going to need a day off. I

I'm not sure if this is a true story or not but I think it says a lot. I'm sure everyone will get their own thoughts from reading it so I won't express mine in great detail. I will say that it would have been an honour to play with those boys. For them to take the opportunity to give something so meaningful is amazing. These days things like that are less and less frequent. So read the story and

I know I was really excited about having a date with someone. It was Tuesday and after having gotten up the nerve the previous day to call Susy and asked her out to an Imax movie today, the 18th. I had tickets for a premiere night. On the 16th we had gone out after work with another guy. It had been a rough show and we needed to relax a little, plus I had a crush on a certain someone. I

I was reading the newspaper 24 hours on the way to work this morning(I was on the dreaded skytrain again) and it had this article about the origins of mythology behind Friday the 13th and why it's known as a bad day. There was a part in it I found kinda humorous that I wanted to share so here it is;Focklore has it that in the 1800s the British government decided to take strong measures to prove

So I'm feeling a little out of place today. This morning when I got to work and went to put on my tie I had some issues. I was having one of my 'Bad Tie Days'. It gets very frustrating some times. Basically to solve the tie issue I tied a single windsor knot instead of my usual doouble. Let me tell you as far as ties go, it's like wearing someone elses underwear! Ever since the days of

Ok besides Susy. The littlest one of the family hasn't been well lately. Looks like just the flu and teething though. I talked to Mommy today and Kya very briefly (long enough to say turtle). I could hear her making a lot of noise in the background which means she's got her energy back. She was all excited to go out in the "no" (snow) with Mommy and Daddy. It's a relief to hear she's better

So apparently we are getting close to breaking the record for consecutive days of rainfall in a row. We're at 23 days right now and the record is 28. My question is, how come after 23 consecutive days of rain people still can't drive in it?

So if you've been following Susy's Blog lately you would have already read of her car troubles. So after a few days and dollars work on it this morning the same thing happened. Well I went to the rescue, again, and she took my truck to school. I sat there for a bit to see if anything changed, nothing. I then called BCAA to have it towed to a shop. While I was sitting there waiting it dawned

Ok I don't know what I was thinking today. Once in a while I decided to take the skytrain to work, normally on days where I'll be done around 5:00 pm and don't want to sit in traffic. Unfortunatly sometimes I forget that sitting in traffic in my own truck is a lot more enjoyable then riding a skytrain. First they make you pay $3.25 each way. Not too bad but then you get on the train and its

Your feeling extra nice today so you slow down some to allow the guy in the right lane with his signal on to get into your lane. But he got you, he doesn't want to change lanes at all, he just hasn't turned off his blinking blinker since he merged onto the freeway 20 minutes ago!

Well I guess some what of bad news yesterday, the position in Abbotsford didn’t quite happen as of yet. They need to ‘look into it more’. We’re thinking it’s delayed until probably January's decision making. The Director of Operations at Tradex is pushing to get the position in place and did have a verbal approval but as all political organizations go there’s and approval posses to go through.

Today at work I was approached by two tourists in our lobby. They asked me why everyone was wearing these flowers on our jackets. I know the poppy is typically a Canadian thing and is also used by the British as well, but I was kind of surprised they didn't know what they were for or seen them before. As I was about to tell them I noticed their countries flag on their stuff...Germany. How do

Not much has changed in that time though. Should know in the next month or so if I got a new job in Abby which means a move. I'm actually really excited about that. I hope it happens.

Ok for obvious reason I myself can not enjoy the 'Bad Hair day' feeling. I can however have a Bad Tie Day. Right from the get go this morning at work I tried to tie my tie 8 times and still never got it right. It bugged me the whole day. Thankfully now it's off.

So recently I've run into a ...well lets say a little hiccup with Future Shop. I wasn't impressed with the answers I was getting regarding repair of my PDA. So I made a phone call to the beautiful and talented Nolene who just happens to be the personal assistant to the director of HR for Future Shop. Well guess who sits right across from Nolene. The assistant to the Future Shop regional

I once walked a mile in another man's shoes. I didn't like how they felt so I bought him some insoles.

So the weather people are calling for partly cloudy on the weekend with highs of 25! You know what that means people... pack up your picnic baskets on Sunday cause we're going to the ZOO! I'm already stretching my legs Jimmy for the greatest double wide cycle race off ever. This one involves dodging Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. I think a couple peacocks too. I so can't wait for the Zoo.

Well here how to tell its going to be one of those days. I started by getting about 15 minutes extra sleep this morning. Ok it wasn't actual sleep it was more like 15 minutes wake up time. I just kinda stood there thinking about shaving but not actually coordinating my hands to meet my face. So that kinda put me behind by 15 minutes. Not bad though I normally have about 1/2 an to play with

So the other day out for tea with Susy and her parents and we're talking about going to the zoo next week. Some how, and don't ask me where it came from, I get onto the idea of turning prisons into zoos. Why not? They're in cages any ways. Why not put them behind glass and then we can all go view them. We can put little plagues next to their cells that tell us their names, aliases, crime

Hello all! I decided to blog since it's been so long. I figured if I didn't Mel would get on me sometime soon to get my act together. I guess I haven't had that much to say really. Have an awesome summer. Basically had a lot of vacation. Work a week then a week off kinda thing. Most enjoyable part has been Susan. It's just amazing having her around. Like she's always been there as part of

Well today was a boring day at work so spent a lot of it outside. Mostly people watching. Had lunch around noon, big mistake, lunchtime is very busy in a food court downtown. So as usual we have to share our table. So were sitting there eating and this guy comes along and asks if he could sit with us. I nodded my head without really looking up. So this guy goes to introduce himself and

Hello one and all. I have in my possession two couches which need good homes. One is a three seater, not in the best of conditions but none the less very sturdy. Great for all those bachelor pads out there, or bachelorette. Also I have a lazy boy. It's my pride and joy and has been with me a long time. Yes it is circa 1970 but man is it comfy. If anyone out there is short some dollars and is

So ever since the Cloverdale Rodeo I've been working along side Susy helping out her company with the high staffing demands. During the Rodeo we worked in Grounds, basically cleaning up. From the first day I sensed a lack of organization at the Fair Grounds. Now for those of you that don't know my "real" job is in the event industry handling and overseeing events at the Vancouver Convention &

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some

I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair

So I'm finally sitting down to say something. I've been fairly busy as of late with work and that. Both Susy and I hadn't really had a day off to speak of. We did enjoy Sunday off, which was a first in awhile. We spent it seeing her family and friends then off to see my parents in the evening. Not my friends thought, I don't have any. No thats not true I do but I've somehow managed to sneek

Ok lately my job has gone to the birds. It seems the last two days in a row have in some way involved birds. On Monday I rescued a baby bird that had some how managed to find its way inside our lobby at the Convention Centre. I tried first coaxing it down with food, that didn't work. So I called for a ladder. Got right up beside the little fella and tried to offer it a bit of scone. Got it

So the other day when Susy and I were out on one of our tourist Challenges we were walking through downtown. Now they have these free newspapers here that they hand out at every skytrain station. So of course people take them because how can you say no to something thats free. Anyways if they don't want it they throw it away, well they normally throw it on the ground if theres no garbage can

Ok I'm going to do this for the fun of it. But I'm thinking its like blog spam or something.10 things I love:1) Ok the first with out fail is Susan. How can you not love that girl. Her smile warms me from the inside. And her heart is always ready to give and share to anyone. Shes a beautiful person and if you don't know her you should try to now because your missing out on the most amazing person

So I got paid on Friday by my second job at Tradex. I didn't clue in on Friday until later that there was a problem. The problem was I was only paid $16.43. Now in the past due to the high amount of taxes I have to have taken off I've recieved a $3.19 paycheck. Thats when I figured out if I didnt have many hours to just carry them over to another week. So when I checked and saw I only

So for starters I guess I should mention everyday I go to work I drive at least 10 minutes through the downtown east side so that may explain some of the things I see. But thats just it, I see some weird things. I've seen naked people, no not at all ones you want to look at but they're like car accidents and you just can't look away. I've had a woman smile at me and then drop her pants and

Ok let me tell you I have been very busy as of late. Work has been crazy. I've been go go go from the second I get there and don't sit down until I'm driving home 10 hours later. But you know what? I love it! I missed this part of my job so much. The pressure of it, having to make decisions in a matter of seconds that could cost so dearly. Not having the time to even stop for lunch. The last 2

So I know I haven't said much as of late. I've been busy with work and then when not at work hanging out with Sus. Haven't had much to say as of late and even now I'm searching for something. I do a million things a day and do you think I could just remember one of them, nope. Oh wait I do remember breathing once today. Does that count? So right now I'm breaking one of the unwritten

So in my line of work I've done and seen some pretty amazing things. I've met some amazing people as well. Everyone from the Priemer to the Prime Minister, The President and the Queen. I've met kings and Princes of countries I didn't even know existed. Rock stars and superstars. Every day is a new day and new challanges are faced. That I think is what I love about my job. I love it that

So thats right, the bee was back this morning. I'm not sure what its doing, but oh well my life goes on. If he comes back tomorrow though I think I might have another word with him. So I'm at work today, so is Susy. Unfortunatly she's working out in Abbotsford and I'm out in Vancouver. Kinda hate these four day work weeks. Its funny how at the start of a relationship you want to do

So this morning when I was quietly contemplating life in what better place then bed, a bee flew in my open window. Now for starters my room goes out onto a balcony so it has a sliding door. It also has those ugly vertical blinds too which were closed to stop some of the light. So this bee, which was one of the largest bees I've ever seen, hits the blinds and kinda flys along them for a bit.

Ok so now for my first, or is it second blog, I'm not really sure what to talk about. Yes I suppose I could talk about Susy, and tell you how wonderful she is, but who wants to hear about that cheesey stuff? Lol I love you Sus. Or I could tell you something about her to get her back for the whole cleaning my nails blog she did, but nah I'm not that mean. So what else is there? I could

So it seems to me that everyone, ok really only all of Susy's friends, are blogging these days and I'm not. So with the assistance of Susy I started my own. Obviously I'll need some continued support from her to learn how to do things but none the less here it all starts.So ladies and gentlemen, with out further ado, I give you, The Ramblins of Neil......................
