Hi, I’m Erica. I'm a 20 something blogger from Ontario, Canada. I'm an ECE in a JK classroom, a wanna be photography, pseudo aunt, and a godmother. I still live at home with my parents, and can count on one hand the number of close friends I have. I am very gullible and shy. I prefer to keep to myself and have a hard time letting someone get close. I've owned numerous domains; this obviously being the current one. It's a place for me to vent and rant as well as a place to help me keep on track with paying off my debt and to help me get a handle on my spending. Some posts will be sponsored and some are private. Thanks for visiting!!

Pet Peeve

I have encounter somewhat of a problem..
I’m on a dating site (since David and I broke up) and I’ve had a few guys messaging me, however several of them have given out their cell phone number and have asked me to text them. I get that cell phones are attached to people now a days; I know my blackberry is always with me, however I’m not very comfortable with just giving out my number to someone this soon.

I’m totally unsure if this is related or not, but it seems due to me not wanting to give out my cell number that the guys seem no longer interested. What gives? I’ve received messages “that the best way to contact me is via texting” and frankly I’m not all that interesting in having a 400 character relationship.




No Thankful Thursday today

Today is suppose to be Thankful Thursday but I’m not in a very thankful mood right now.
Tomorrow evening is the start of my vacation. David and I were suppose to head up north to a cottage and then spend the weekend with some family and friends at a pig roast, however that’s not going to happen now. David cancelled on me so my mom had to change her plans and now she will be driving up in the evening with me. So basically I have a early morning shift at work for nothing. I’m going to be done work and then I have to come home and wait around for 2 hrs until my mom’s come home. We wont arrive up north till around 10pm and I will probably head to bed right away.
The rest of the week will be busy with finding out about a job, interviewing for another and then babysitting on Friday. I was suppose to drive up with Dave to windsor, but since he’s already going to be there, there is no point in me driving up.
The funny thing thou, is he has no idea what’s he’s done to this relationship. It’s pretty much over in my eyes. I totally understand changing plans for a family emergency, but its not what he did. He wanted to go to windsor ahead of time and that’s fine with me. He obviously made his choice.

Sorry this post was such a downer.




Toronto Trip

CN Tower

So Today David and I took a drive into Toronto. It was for his birthday and he wanted to see a friend he hasn’t seen in a while. We ended up arriving around noon, meet up with his friend, ate some lunch, played some pool and then walked over to where the MMVA’s were going to be.

Main Stage

It was pretty packed with people all ready there. David and I then walked his friend to the subway station and made our way back thru the MMVA crowd and then finally to the car. Once back at the car we left and I kept watch because my oil light was flickering once we arrived in Toronto. About 3 mins from the Gardner Expressway my car died, while in the middle of traffic. I put my 4 way flashers on, turned the car off and waited a few mins. Once I was able to turn the car back on David drove it to a side street and I called CAA.

We ended up waiting over an hr and got the worst driver possible I think. I found out once back in Hamilton that it was his second day on the job for CAA. However that does not excuse the annoyance that I had to suffer through. Prior to the CAA driver picking up the car he called my on my cell phone asking for directions. I was floorded! He was lost and I was trying to direct him to me. I ended up having guys on the corner explain how to get to where my car was. After the car was loaded on the flat bed he realized that he needed gas. He then pumped the gas with the truck still running. David and I did make it back to Hamilton safe and sound though, but I’m now stuck with a $200+ bill plus I still don’t know the damage to my car. All I know is that a hose broke and the coolant was leaking out.

Busted Car

My mom met David and I at the garage that I had my car dropped off at, and then I was able to drive David home. Once back at my place, I watched the last hour of the MMVA’s, now since they are over I’m going to head to bed since I have to get up super early to call my mechanic to find out when he can fix my car.




mid week update

Today I have my TB test, and then a short day at work. *yippy* I’ve had the test done numerous times and for some reason I always feel icky prior to and after the test, so to have a shortened day at work works well for me.
Yesterday evening I went to Zumba; my second last class. I’m starting to realize that once it’s over (tomorrow evening) I’m going to have nothing to do to fill my time during the week in the evening. I might look into a gym membership, but I’m not particular interested in going to a gym, so who knows.

I do have a lot of activities planned for the weekends coming up so I’m looking forward to that. Some of them are family related, other’s are Cassie related and of course some are David related. Like this weekend for example. I have friday off from work, and I booked a massage appointment as well as a long over due hair appointment. Then I’m picking up David from work and I think we are going out for dinner. It’s his birthday so I’m not 100% what he want’s to do. On the weekend I think we are going to Toronto so he can see some friends from college, again I’m not sure.

I do know that I need to get ready and head on out to the doctors now :(




Accident

This weekend was pretty eventful.

9/11

On Saturday David and I looked at apartments, then we found a 9/11 memorial walk and a petting zoo.
On Sunday we watched Season 2 of Dexter. Pretty boring, I know….But wait….

Usually I stay at Dave’s till Sunday evening and leave around 8-9pm, but something told me to leave early, so I left shortly after 6pm. It was a good thing, because when I arrived home I spent the next 2 hrs watching the aftermath of an accident.

Accident

The location of the road that the accident happened on is off of a semi main road. The truck was driving on the main rode, lost control and ended up on the side road, which is pretty much the edge of my parents property. I know this because the truck passed me while I was driving home. He passed me at a ridiculous speed and flew ahead of me. I’m going to assume that he couldn’t make the turn in the road thus having the accident. As I was pulling into my driveway, a van showed up and was assisting the individual from the truck. I ran into the house, told my dad and we called 911. He said he didn’t hear anything which was surprising, but he did have the TV pretty loud.
At this present time (9:30pm), the individual has been transported to the hospital, and the road has been blocked off. Thankfully my sister knew the cop at one end or else her and my brother would not be allowed home.

As of 10pm tow trucks are trying to move/tow the truck.

Crazy things like this always happen around my house and it’s due to Idiots going to fast whom cant manage the turn. One of the cops found cans of booze in our field and since we obviously don’t throw garbage into our own field, it would seem obviously that they came from the truck. Also our field was just plowed the other day and the cans would not have been there.

Hopefully things are all cleaned up by morning, or at least in a few hrs so my brothers gf can head on home.
