Hey my little pebbles.

Wow, so I haven't updated in like a week. That is crazy, and I was doing so good with this too! Well, I left off last Friday. So here I go again...

On friday night Barb and Vince dropped the kids off at the house so that they could have a night of fun. I think it's great when they do go out because we can have so much fun with Rebecca and Blair. So we started off the night at the rubber gym at the old tartan field. They were having a blast, but all I could think was "What did they do to the old field??? We used to march over there and we played our tunes over there and we used to go get Lemonade over there." It was really heart shattering. I mean I love that they put the park there, but it made me realize that the Tartan Field is a thing of the past. The Festival of the Tartans used to be a huge event in Pictou County, but now I think it has been laid to rest. Sure we still have some events and a small parade, but when Balmoral was around, it was awesome...but enough dwelling on what can't be changed...on with the story...

After we went to the park, we decided it was time for a bite to eat, so we went to Sams. We almost got kicked out of the restaurant we were being so loud, but we were having a blast. It was a really fun time. After we ate our pizza we came back here and watched "A Cinderella Story", and then went to bed at about 4-ish.

The next morning, 8 am morning, the phone rings....it was my dad. He had gone to the CCR concert in Truro the night before and then went to the Bluegrass festival in Stewiake. Once he was there, he decided he wanted to come home but my mom refused to go get him so I was next in line. After much yelling on my part and waking the kids we went to Stewiake. On the way there, dad called the cell and told us to meet him in Truro. His Brother was coming in town so he was gonna come in with him. I told him to meet us at the mall, and so we all agreed.

We get to the mall and shopped for a while, and then shopped some more and come 4 hours later, my father finally showed up. I could have killed him. He was still drunk from the night before, he was totally smelly and loud as usual.

So that was that day... not much out of the usual...at least not for my family.

Today was a much better day. It was my birthday! I got up to a bank call saying that I had a big ol VISA waiting for me....my family had a party for me at my Aunt Cindy's house and we spent the day downtown New Glasgow, perusing the shops. Plus I got lots of pressies, including a new laptop that I bought myself for school in the fall. Yay! Laptop!

Hopefully now that I have this, I can update more often! This is a lot of fun!

Talk to you all later,

Ash

PS-> I was watching Free Willy the other day and it made me think? Why did everyone think Jason James Richter was such a good actor? He was really terrible...also, did anyone ever notice at the end of that movie when Willy makes the jump over the kid and the rocks how fake that scene was? I always thought it was amazing that they actually got the whale to make that jump...and now, my dreams are dashed... boo hoo!!
