HAPPY BDAY TO ME!!!

I JUST CHECKED TO SEE IF I HAVE EVER HAD A BDAY POST POSTED THE ACTUAL DATE OF MY BDAY. TURNS OUT MY BDAY IS USUALLY A DAY OR TWO BEFORE OR AFTER THE ACTUAL DATE, HOWEVER IF WE GO BACK TO 2012... I POSTED ON THE ACTUAL DATE LOL. NOTHING REALLY IMPORTANT, JUST THAT I WAS WONDERING, SO THAT KILLED SOME TIME LOL. IT WAS A NICE DAY. WORKED, THEN HAD FAMILY DINNER AT MY BROTHERS PLACE. I HAVE A FEELING WE GOING TO BE DOING THIS MORE OFTEN THAN GOING OUT LOL. AT LEAST FOR NOW UNTIL THE BABY IS A BIT BIGGER. I FIND MYSELF FORGETTING HOW OLD I ACTUALLY AM THESE DAYS... PROBABLY BECAUSE AFTER 30 IT JUST DOESNT REALLY MATTER ANYMORE HAHA. THE GF SET UP DINNER WITH MY FRIENDS THIS WEEKEND, SO THATS NICE. JUST WANT TO HAVE A CHILL THING, NOT REALLY INTO PARTYING HARD LIKE WE USE TO LOL.

SO THE PAST LONG WEEKEND I WENT INTO CALGARY WITH THE FAMILY FOR MY COUSINS WEDDING. ITS THE FIRST OF MY CLOSE COUSINS. FLEW IN ON THE FRIDAY, SAW EVERYONE AND GOT READY FOR THE BIG DAY. THE WEDDING DAY WAS A LONG DAY... AND I WASNT EVEN IN THE WEDDING LOL. WELL... I WAS IN THE FAMILY SO I GUESS I WAS IN THE WEDDING IN A SENSE LOL. IT WAS A NICE WEDDING, EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY AND THE RECEPTION WAS FUN. THE LAMB RACKS WERE REALLY GOOD! NEXT DAY WE ALL JUST HUNG OUT AND WENT TO THE ZOO. HERES THE THING... I REALLY LIKE MEERKATS! I COULDNT FIND THEM AT THE LOCAL ZOO, COULDNT FIND THEM IN SEATTLE ZOO, COULDNT FIND THEM IN PALM SPRINGS ZOO. EITHER THEY WERE ON LOAN, OR CHANGING THE ENCLOSURE, OR JUST NOT THERE FOR WHATEVER REASON... IVE BEEN TO 3 ZOOS AND COULDNT FIND THE DAM MEERKATS. SO LOOKING AT THE MAP GUESS WHAT I SEE... MEERKATS!!! IT GOT MY HOPES UP A BIT BUT I WAS AFRAID THAT I WOULD JUST BE CRUSHED SINCE IVE ALREADY BEEN CRUSHED SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. SO WE WENT AROUND AND CHECKED ALL THIS STUFF AND WHEN WE GET NEAR IT WE WENT ONE WAY FIRST. THEN WE WENT THE OTHER WAY AND MY DAD CHECKED OUT THIS OTHER SIDE OF THE EXHIBIT... COMES BACK AND SAYS OH THERES NOTHING INTERESTING THERE... SO IM LIKE OK IL JUST TAKE A QUICK LOOK... GUESS WHAT WAS IN THAT "NOT INTERESTING" AREA... MY MEERKATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG!!! I FINALLY FOUND THEM! IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM FOR SO LONG! THEY WERE SO CUTE AND ACTUALLY SMALLER THAN I THOUGHT LOL. THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM TOO LOL. IF I LISTENED TO MY DAD I WOULD HAVE MISSED THEM! ALSO I WOUND HAVE BEEN QUESTIONING IT THE WHOLE TIME SINCE I WENT ALMOST EVERYWHERE AND COULDNT FIND THEM. THERE WE GO, CHECKED THAT OFF THE LIST FINALLY. THEN THE REST OF THE TIME WAS JUST WITH FAMILY AND MORE FAMILY AND THEN HOME WE WENT THE NEXT DAY. OF COURSE OUR FLIGHT WAS DELAYED COMING BACK... THEN WE FIND OUT THERES NO FLIGHT CREW... AND THAT THEY WERE COMING IN FROM ANOTHER FLIGHT. THEN WE FIND OUT THAT THE FLIGHT IS FULL AND OVER BOOKED... THEN THERE WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM... I GUESS IM JUST GOING TO STAY IN CALGARY... ANYWAYS IT WAS ALL FIXED UP AND THEN WE CAME HOME. I MET QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE I DONT KNOW ON THIS TRIP. MOSTLY AUNTS AND UNCLES FROM WHO KNOWS WHERE HAHA. IT WAS NICE SEEING FAMILY I HAVENT SEEN IN A WHILE. CONGRATS TO MY COUSIN AND HIS NEW WIFE :)

ANDDDDDDDD WE ALL HAD TO GET OFF... LOL... BASICALLY A FEW HOURS LATER THEY TOLD US THE PLANE CANT FLY AND WE NEEDED TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER PLANE... THAT MORNING FLIGHT WAS THE BEST TIMED ONE TOO... BUT DUE TO THE DELAY ALL THE OTHER FLIGHTS GOT IN BEFORE US... ENDED UP BEING LIKE A 5 HOUR DELAY... THEY GAVE US $15 FOOD VOUCHERS WHICH WE USED TO BUT A BUNCH OF BURGER KING LOL. GET THERE AND ITS ALREADY LATE SO JUST HAD CHEESECAKE FACTORY :) SATURDAY WE WENT TO THE ZOO!!! I LIKE ANIMALS AND IT WAS ESPECIALLY FUN SINCE WE GOT TO FEED GIRAFFES!!!

MONDAY I FINALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO GO IN N OUT BURGER AND I MUST SAY THAT IT IS OVERRATED... IT WAS A NICE LITTLE GETAWAY AND WEVE NEVER BEEN TO PALM SPRINGS SO IT WAS NICE TO CHECK IT OUT. ITS A FREAKING DESERT... THERES NOTHING THERE... EXCEPT FOR GOLF COURSES... EVERY BLOCK WAS A COUNTRY CLUB OR A GOLF COURSE... ALL THEIR ARCHITECTURE WAS THE SAME... IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ALL COPIED AND PASTED. PALM TREES EVERYWHERE AND 16 DEGREES. IT RAINED A BIT THE NIGHT WE GOT IN BUT THE REST OF THE WEEKEND WAS NICE. NOT TOO HOT NOT TOO COOL. THAT PLACE IS REALLY FOR OLD PEOPLE HAHA. WE WERE BEYOND THE MINORITY THERE. WE BARELY SAW ANY ASIANS HAHA. WE DIDNT SEE ANYONE WE KNEW WHILE WE WERE THERE BUT WHEN WE WERE AT THE AIRPORT COMING BACK I SAW A DUDE WHO LOOKED LIKE STEPHEN ROOT... STILL NOT SURE IF IT WAS HIM... ALSO SAW A LAWYER WE WORK WITH... ANDDDDDD I SAW STEPHEN AMELL LOL. I WAS LIKE... EXCUSE ME, SORRY, YOURE STEPHEN AMELL... LOL CHATTED BRIEFLY AND GOT A PHOTO WITH HIM TOO AND WAS A NICE GUY. SO IF YOU WANT TO GO TO SOMEWHERE THATS QUIET WITH NOT MUCH TO DO... BESIDES GOLFING I MEAN... GO PALM SPRINGS... LOL. AND NOW BACK TO REALITY AGAIN LOL.

FUNNY THING IS IT TURNS OUT 2 OTHER CARS ALREADY BLEW A TIRE BECAUSE OF IT. ITS RAINING AND ITS DARK SO THAT JUST SUCKED. SLOWLY AND SURELY... MORE CARS HIT IT AND BLEW THEIR TIRES AS WELL. LAST COUNT THERE WERE 7 CARS WITH FLATS... TOW TRUCK GUY COMES AND CHANGES THE TIRE AND HE TELLS ME THERES 12 CARS WITH FLATS!!! DAMM THATS SOME POTHOLE. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT MADE THE NEWS AND THEY SAY THERE WERE 15-20 TOTAL CARS THAT BLEW A TIRE BECAUSE OF IT. ALSO BAD WHEN THEY DUB IT THE "POTHOLE FROM HELL" HAHA. WHEN I SAY GIANT I MEAN GIANT... THEY SAID IT WAS ABOUT A METRE AND A HALF LONG... AND ITS QUITE WIDE AS WELL AND NO IDEA HOW DEEP IT IS. SO I BRING THE CAR INTO THE SHOP ANDDDDDDDDDDDD OF COURSE ON THE WAY THERE THE OTHER TIRE WAS LEAKING AIR... SO NOW THERES 2 FLATS... AND ONE WITH THE RIM BENT. OH WHAT FUN...
