Barbeque!
I have decided that i am gonna throw a BBQ...i am actually really excited because i never really throw any sort of party. But i have the house to myself this weekend. I am gonna make the price is wrong bob, garlicky potato's, kabob's (because everyone likes to eat food off sticks), and a strawberry rhubarb pie. I hope the weather cooperates because then we can swim and hang in my backyard, maybe hot tub, and swing in my hammock. It is gonna be an awesome day!
I also think i am gonna use this day as a pre-birthday celebration..just to get my birthday started even earlier!

The Celebration of my Birth
Everyone, i don't want to alarm you but my birthday is coming up. It is a joyous occasion that everyone should celebrate.
My plans, so far, are going good. Friday august 1st, start off at the spaghetti factory (best place for dinner) then we wander over to a nice relaxed pub for drinks and great conversation (mainly about me). That night, i will crash at someones place downtown. The next morning i will get up and catch a bus with my friend (Leah's boyfriend) James down to K-town so we can see my very talented cousin in a play on the Saturday night. Then Sunday me and steph and mark are heading to another play with grandma.
Finally we head home on Monday.
Now i was thinking that because it is my birthday weekend i should dress up nice, do you guys think it would be too much, if i was wearing pretty poofy party dresses all weekend? because i was thinking that the party dresses would alert everyone to the special occasion it is.
Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions on how to make my birthday weekend extravaganza any better...please let me know.

Breaking News!!!
There has been breaking news in the breakfast investigation. Today i went up to the cafe for breakfast with my co-worker, jenni. The special today was egg, sausage, and cheese...and i went like normal and ordered what i always do, egg bacon cheese on a bagel..and the cafe ladies gave me a lot of bacon and only charged me for a special..then when i said thank you, like i do every day.....she say 'have a great day' and i was SO excited. Me and the cafe lady had a moment! So i believe that the reason i get the shaft in the caf is that i always go with my friend Lindsay...and Lindsay must be the one they don't like.
Therefore...i must never go to the caf with Lindsay again.

Discrimination Served for Breakfast
A Tin investigative report is in the works.
Do the cafeteria lunch ladies play favourites when it comes to breakfast or do they just not like me and Lindsay? A good friend has volunteered to help me investigate.
Our problems with the cafeteria started a long while ago shortly after we discovered that they offer a special breakfast everyday for $2.25. Here's the deal..a lot of times the special is for example, egg sausage cheese on a bagel....but what if you want bacon? then no special for you...they won't change the bacon for sausage..and we accepted that as a rule...but all around us people kept making changes to the special, and they cafeteria ladies just went right with it...let them change anything they wanted and it still only cost them 2.25. But when me and Lindsay asked they said "the special is the special, you can't change it"
I was okay to let the injustice go because damn i love they breakfasts they provide and they are quite inexpensive. But today, a lady behind me got an omelet on a bagel as a special...but the special today was pancakes. Those two things aren't even in the same league!!!
And don't get me started about how cheap they are on doling out the bacon...we almost never get more than two pieces when others get like 4 or 5.
So I wonder...do they just not like us...and why us, we are nice polite cool people? So my friend has offered to go undercover, and order breakfasts too...the same as us but not at the same time..and we will compare.
I will keep you posted...rest assured..this bacon injustice will not go on!!!!

Cell phone vs Blackberry
February 2006: After serious research, Erin goes to rogers and buys her very first cell phone. She is very happy with this phone, it is a good little phone, plays music, takes pictures, isn't a flip phone (for some reason that i can't explain, i really don't like flip phones). This phone is a Sony Ericsson W600i.
FLASH FORWARD TO PRESENT DAY
Erin's cellphone that has never given her trouble won't charge. Lindsay says to me, go to rogers and see how much of a hardware upgrade you are eligible for.
Erin - hardware upgrade what is that?
Lindsay - while, every year you can upgrade your phone, usually for free and all you need to do is extend your plan.
Erin - you don't need to wait until your plan ends? you mean i have been waiting for my plan to end to get a new phone upgrade when you get one once a year? What the!!!!
Lindsay - Yeah, while it depends on the phone and the plan extension, sometime you will have to pay extra. Go into rogers at your lunch....but take someone with you.
Erin goes to rogers on her lunch, and is overwhelmed by her options and can't make a decision...so she buys a new charger for her current phone and leaves.
But.....now she is wondering.....what is better, get a new phone now or wait until her plan ends? and the sales guy seemed to really be pushing a blackberry...with that fact that i can check my e-mail.
So help please...i would love some recommendations.
Here are some things you should know:
I am a text-a-holic
the only email i ever receive is spam and facebook updates
i am NOT technologically savy
I don't like flip phones
and i am swayed very easily by pretty shinny things so the prettiness of the phone will be a large deciding factor.
Please help (ryan this is directed mainly at you....i know you got the knowledge to help me out with this one)
