Why The Hell Do I get Sick in the Summer?

Seriously, it rains for the last two weeks and I'm banned to inside (so I don't get wet) and as soon as the weather takes a turn for the best, I get sick. It's a beautiful 30 degrees Celsius outside and I get really sick. Also I was working with a friend this week and we were super busy. So instead of drinking a ton of neo-citran and passing out like I usually do when I am sick, I had to go do the audit from hell. The audit was supposed to take 2 days and ended up taking 3 weeks. It's not even done but today was my last day of work before I go on study leave for two months.....so guess what? I don't care! My manager can finish the damn audit! But it's fun asking clients question when you head feels like it is in a vice and your ears are ringing so loudly that you can hardly hear their answers!!!!

This weekend was pretty fun! On Saturday I drove out to Banff and laid by Johnson Lake all day and listened to my friend talk about her roommate that she made the mistake of doing. The lake was lovely but my poor friend. She always gets herself into these sort of situations because I don't think she respects herself. I keep telling her to stop pursuing these losers (her roommate is currently dating and maybe sleeping with 2 other girls). Ah well. I didn't get to go in the lake though because it was too cold. The lake is glacier fed. Last year, me and my friends swam across the lake and one of my friends had an asthma attack because her lungs tensed up due to the cold ass water.

On Saturday night I watched this cute foreign film called Advertising Rules. It was German and let me tell you, the Germans do not disappoint....in the strange department. Then me and the boyfriend went for a walk around our neighborhood. We don't do that enough. I mean we paid an extra $50K to get a condo in a trendy neighborhood with good shopping, that's close to the river, and we never even walk around. Well we ran into a couple of the boyfriends friends and went for a drink at my favorite neighborhood pub, Original Joe's. We didn't get too wild but we decided that we are going to all dress up, as a group, as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his gang for next Halloween (I know...we sure are planners). And I get to be Beth. Sweet! I must go to Value Village and get a pair of tapered legged, black jeans, some huge-ass heels and a tight black wife-beater. Oh and can't forget the teased blonde wig. I will stuff a beach ball in the belly and two balloons for ta-tas. I'll be so hot.

On Sunday I went to a wedding. It was my best friend's sister's wedding. It was a cute and short ceremony in a little church. The priest was really cute (looked like Santa Claus) and the bride looked gorgeous. Unfortunately the groom is kind of a dungeons and dragons kind of nerd. His best man had an undercut. Eeek! Me and my friend got pretty drunk off of rye and cokes and ending up leaving after the bride and groom. My sober boyfriend was nagging me to go the whole night because we were seated beside a couple of boring gals (or deaf-mutes as the boyfriend puts it) and the best man's girlfriend. I thought that the best man had done well for himself (because his girlfriend was cute) until his girlfriend opened her mouth. I was like talking to a stick of gum. Seriously. We stayed over at my only friend who still lives in Red Deer (my home town).

On Monday we slept in and then floated down the Red Deer river. The weather is perfect but I could've used a couple of beers on the river. Ah well. And remind me not to share a raft with the boyfriend. He is such a pain in the butt. It never gets old to boys to splash their girlfriends with cold ass water.

Well tomorrow I am off to Fairmont for a vacation of laying by the hot spring pools and getting a tan. I also plan to drink a lot (surprise, surprise). Hopefully I'll have some good stories for you after the weekend. Happy Canada Day!
