Updating Time

2007-01-12T20:06:00.000-06:00

Gosh, I realize how bad I am at this...but when you live a busy and hectic life like myself, it is hard to keep everyone else up to date, let alone myself!
I will just say briefly that my Christmas holidays were fantastic! It was so great to be home and see all my family and friends! All my family except Reg and J of course who had to stay out in Oliver to do the duties of the Lord.
My holiday time consisted of many good coffees at the Esso, a couple illegal trips to the Last Chance Saloon in town, games nights and Jen's, a hell of a rowdy evening for newyears and of course lotsa hanging out with the fam. So much family in fact that I had to make a trek to Yorkton Sk for my great grandmother's 100th birthday. Besides the joyous fact that God had blessed her with 100 years of life....the event was not such a blessing. Good old family reunions where you get to hug and take pictures with people you dont really know but call "family". GREAT times! Okay so i'm a bit of a hater...but we all know how it feels. I was also able to get in some quality kereoke time at Kirbs place and go ice fishing with her and my pa! Unfortunatley the best we did was the minnows we used as bait...but hell, it was a good time.
Of course the holidays went way too fast and before I knew it I was back here in Calgary getting ready for semester 2. I quickly found out that this semester is going to be quite alot more work than last. With a full course load and clinical once a week I may have my hands full.

My first clinical was yesterday, which really only consisted of orientation. Met my group, went to Rockyview Hospital...(which just happens to be the furthest hospital away from me) and did a tour of our unit. While i am quite excited to start the real life aspect of nursing, it also scares me shitless. Its hard to believe that I am at this point already. It looks like it will be quite interesting....everything except having to wake up at 4:30 in the freakin morning....dont people know my body doesn't work that way!
Ah well, all in all things are good!

Bye for now....I'll try to keep you better updated this time.

Well lets just say its been a wild couple of days. Not only did I get to go the morgue and hold live human parts, but I also got to attend my very first NHL game ever! It was great times and the flames even won...they probably did it just for me!
I was also able to make a record of four days in a row at the kilkenny irish pub. oh some good times there playing asshole with oversized cards and Greg wearing santa apparel!
Last night was a good way to finish the partying week with a trip to cowboys for ladies night! With a free limo and free drinks how can you turn it down!

And alas I knew I would be getting shit for not having my biggest sister on my last post. Although I do have good reason for it. Blogger is a pain in my ass and only uploads certain photos at one time, and after getting some uploaded...it decided to crap out and I know longer can do any more. Therefore I pass the blame to Blogger. But Reg, knowing how this one cut you real deep...heres a post all for you!
Yes, folks, Regan really was in Calgary for that weekend, we had a hell of a time, and she looooved everybody..haha.

Here she is drinking beer!!
Here she is with Brad and Amy!Here she is with long time buddy Scotty!

Reggie u know i love you and I'd have a pillow fight with you anytime! haha

2006-11-14T14:32:00.000-06:00

So a couple weekends ago was a wild one! I havn't eaten so much food nor dranken so much beer for a long time...but boy what fun it was! Kirby, Bobbi, Bruce and Corey came from Grenfell for a little weekend visit and Regan also flew in from Oliver.
On sunday night we went to Aussie Rules for little personal concert. We had about 15 of us and there was only a couple other small tables participating in the fun. Even with the small crowd (or should I say "klein" crowd...Kirby?) it was a great time had by all!

Amy and I

Mr. Piano man please just tickle those ivory keys...(I got a free drink from this guy..I liked him)

Bringing Sexy Back??

2006-11-07T00:14:00.000-06:00

I realize what kind of situation I am putting myself in by admitting to the following. But I have no shame.
I think Justin Timberlake really is bringing sexy back! : 0
Okay so maybe he isn't bringing sexy back, but I really like his newest CD. This was tough for me to admit at the beginning because he is a past N'sync member...but then I came to realize..who didn't love N'sync in their day?? There must be a reason why you all know their lyrics right?

Anyways....I do blame this change in my thoughts on Amy who is a hip-hop lovin gangsta. Trust me when I say JT will grow on you. Check him out...haha

Do you like big bibles?

2006-11-03T17:56:00.000-06:00

Well, Amy Dawn came through for us once again. Check out this wicked video! So funny.

Scrubs

2006-10-30T19:19:00.000-06:00

Well today marked one of the first days of becoming a real nurse! I bought my first pair of real scrubs. I have a job shadowing at Peter Lougheed and I couldn't very well go in my jeans now could I? Anyways, Amy and I drove down to Uniforms by Karen and picked up a pair. We then proceded to go down 17th and shop at a bunch of trendy little stores. Good times had by all.
There, now wouldn't you trust me with your life?

I'm BACK

2006-10-03T16:42:00.000-06:00

Yes, I know. Its been 3 months. But I'm back again. Now you dont have to get angry with me anymore Jason!

Wow...halloween is almost here!

Favorite Halloween memories:
1. Getting about 10 bazillion freakin wagon wheels in your pouch of goodies. Who likes them anyways? I refuse to be an old person who does that.
2. Being two-ton-tony every year being otherwise you freeze your nuts off in saskatchewan weather.
3. Being mistaken for good old Davey Wagner by some old lady when she asked my name one year while trick or treating. That one cut me real deep.
4.Feeling like your gunna hork up all those tasty wagon wheels after hoovering the whole bag of goodies....mmmmboy!

Unfortunatly I didn't go out this weekend like I wanted too. I guess I wont get to be SPAM this year....theres always hope for next Halloween...
(What a great outfit to wear to the next Wagner family reunion)

Tell me about your halloween joys and sorrows!

Packing

2006-08-29T13:39:00.000-06:00

Well, I take off on Friday and I've made up my mind...packing is officially the devil. I hate it with a passion. It is especially difficult this time, because after dropping me off in Calgary, mom and dad are going onto Oliver where dad is going to need his golf clubs and all of their own luggage. And because the van is such a gas guzzler...we have to squeeze into the car. I'm not totally sure how its going to happen...I am anything but a light packer. We'll see.

Its hard to believe time has gone so fast and its actually time to move! I'm excited for something new, sad to leave everything and everyone back home, and slightly nervous all at the same time. I mean, the U of C itselt is only 27 times larger than my home town....but whats to worry about right?....right?....

None the less...it will be one heck of an adventure for this small town prairie girl! I'll let you know how the move goes!

Hailey

Grrr.

2006-08-18T23:22:00.000-06:00

So I dont know what kind of things tick you off, but I definatley have a new favorite on my list of hated things. Besides people coming in at closing time to eat food at the restaraunt, being put on call waiting by morons on the phone, or having a long awaited and looked forward to DVD skip and crap out on you....I also hate when Hotmail Staff sends me e-mails. I sign onto msn, thinking that I have an exciting e-mail waiting for me...I almost pea my pants with anticipation...and its just mass e-mail sent from some office of arrogant pricks who dont give a damn who I am. And...to top it all off...you can't block Hotmail...or you simply can't have an account through them...so there really is no solution to this...
ah well...life must go on...

Special K!

2006-08-06T21:09:00.000-06:00

So last wednesday was a special day. Thats right everyone, our very own Kirby Wagner turned 22 years old! Almost a grown up that we can take seriously...but not quite. We decided to spend the night at Grenfell Regional Park (not to be confused with GPR right Jenn!) which just happens to be the crappiest camp grounds you will ever see. However we found the nicest spot (which consitsted of about 3 trees) and set up camp. It was a real cute little spot and a bunch of us girls made it home for one night. We roasted weiners, made s'mores, listened to girly tunes and had a great time.

Happy Birthday Kirb!

So true...

2006-07-07T00:13:00.000-06:00

Four women were driving across Canada. Each one was from a differentprovince: P.E.I, BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
Shortly after the trip began, the woman from P.E.I started pulling potatoes from her bag and throwing them out of the window."What the heck are you doing?" demanded the girl from BC."We have so many of these darn things in PEI, I'm just sick of looking at them!"
A moment later, the gal from BC began pulling apples from her bag and tossing them from the window. "What are you doing that for?" asked the gal from Alberta. "Same here. We have so many apples in BC, I'm sick of looking at them!"
Inspired, the gal from Alberta opened the car door and pushed the Saskatchewan girl out.

And alas..another one is Alberta bound...

qSarah Concert

Friday night was an enjoyable evening spent in Regina listening to the musical talents of qSarah Wemyss.

Collections

2006-06-08T23:33:00.000-06:00

I'm pretty sure that every person, at one point and time of their childhood collected something. Maybe it made us feel really cool, to have more of something, or more unique somethings than anyone else, or maybe we did it to fit in with the sticker collecting club that the rest of the kids were in in grade 3. (not speaking from any personal experience...) I suppose that I actually went through a few different collecting stages of my life. But I would have to say that my ultimate favorite, would be my napkin collection.
Although you may think this is lame and humorous...I dont think you understand the difficulty that comes with trying to gather all the varieties of napkins you can find. It takes skill to shove a napkin into your mothers purse at every restaurant without letting people see you and give you awkward looks. And I'm sure you havn't even considered the special care I had to take so that napkins were not crinkled or wrecked in any way.
I got up to about 40 different napkins before I quit collecting. I'd like to see any of you outdo that! I'll save them for a few more years, and probably make millions off of them.

A Rowdy Evening

2006-05-20T17:53:00.000-06:00

So Friday night was the big birthday celebration... and yes, the cake is in fact wishing Kyle the happiest of birthdays..but dont let it confuse you, it is actually my birthday...lol dont ask...

Jeni enjoying the warm spring evening...

A picture with my very first CB's boughten....legally....

Every single one of them in my mouth...Hello cancer!
Melly looking smart and sophisticated...
Brenda going at it double time...

And now for the pretty pictures...

Highlight of the day...

2006-05-18T23:49:00.000-06:00

So picture this...
Dawn and I are cooking in the back of the restaurant and Becka and Kim are waitressing. In the middle of doing some dishes, we spot the biggest, nastiest (probably killer) bee buzzing around the cooler. The girl in all of us came out, and of course our reactions are like..."oh my gosh...its a bee...ahhhhh!"
Our next step is to get rid of it. Dawn goes at it with a broom almost tearing the place apart and yelling at the bee to "lower its altitude..or else" We all put on the tough man act until the little guy gets pissed off and starts coming after us...in which case we all scatter the opposite direction. After many unsuccesful attempts, we decide to not worry about it. That is until it shows up in the front of the restaurant where all the customers are. The place is full, and now you've got another 60 people acting like girls, swatting at the bee. For a good 5 minutes, the whole restaurant was occupied by this damn bee.
Finally a young kid kills the guy with his fork... and the whole restaurant breaks out into cheering and applause...
I almost pissed myself laughing...by far the most retarted situation i've ever been in.

2006-05-08T22:28:00.000-06:00

As a part of my birthday present, Reg, Jason and Kirby bought me a little something that was totally unexpected...
It sure brought me back to old times when I discovered that under the wrapping paper was none other than the newest Kenny Rogers CD- Water and Bridges.
Way back in the day, I used to love Kenny Rogers. I had a tape that I would often listen too...and therefore often got made fun of by both of my sisters. They always told me that Kenny Rogers sucked and he smelled like old moth balls...I would usually cry...(not like it was a good burn though...old moth balls...what the hell is that about)
Now that I've grown however, dont worry, I no longer listen to Kenny. However...I might just start again now that I've got my new CD! And as much as Kirby has made fun of me for like Kenny...she can't say much anymore... before giving me the CD, she made a copy for herself...lol
You know...with his new face lift he's not a bad looking old man...lol

The Gambler has still got it!

2006-05-03T21:40:00.000-06:00

So as of recently, I'm not only doing waitressing at the Esso...but I've also been moved to try out a few kitchen prep shifts. Mostly this means the be-atch work of doing fill-ups, peeling potatoes, slicing meats and crap like that. And I dont mean to complain..because it really isn't so bad. Its nice to get a break from the crazyness of dealing with customers all the time.
Today though, it was farely slow, so I did a little cooking 101 with Dawn. I was making burgers, and pizzas, and wraps and chicken fingers and salads. I mean, it was nothing too extravagant, but for Hailey...who usually sticks with Kraft dinner and pizza pops...it was farely impressive. So far I'm really enjoying it. It will be great practice for living on my own next year and having to cook for myself...and who knows, maybe one day you'll see me on my very own cooking show...I can see it now...The Frugal Gourmet starring Hailey Wagner...Martha Stewarts got nothing on me!

My sista from another mista...

2006-05-01T21:38:00.000-06:00

Happy Birthday Laya!! She's now of legal age...and a danger to all of society!!

Hope you had a great day!!
Love ya, H

School again...

2006-04-23T21:11:00.000-06:00

Easter holidays are officially over come tommorrow morning. What a depressing thought. However, there is just one last term of school left. Its hard to believe, grad in a month, one more month after that of hellish departmentals and studying, and than the end! Woohoo.
Easter holidays couldn't really be considered a "holiday" cuz i worked everyday except one. But it was still nice to get away from school for a bit. Now just one more kick of ambition and it's goodbye Grenfell High....

Pride & Prejudice

2006-04-19T19:51:00.000-06:00

We watched Pride and Prejudice last night. It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Of course I'm a sucker for anything romantic, but it really was a great movie. It's very rarely that you will find a good PG rated movie without any nastiness, but still a good love story, so it was very appreciated. I suggest all you romantics check it out! Hailey and Brenda give it two thumbs up.

Grenfell Ink

2006-04-18T17:08:00.000-06:00

So Brenda and I dont usually buy lame teen magazines...however, we got suckered in this time. Who can say no to free tatoos! (although the word 'free' really means nothing because you're still paying out the ass for the $5 magazine)
Anyways, yes, we bought the magazine got a whole booklet of tatoos and the outcome of our spontanious buying....
Chad Michael Murray on Brenda's shoulder:

And Hilary Duff on mine:

Haha...you should see the ones we put on our butts....

H + B

Well that sucks.

2006-04-13T16:50:00.000-06:00

Today was one of those days...where bad things just kept happening to Hailey.
A long time ago, before I knew what I was doing with my life next year, I applied for entrance awards at the University of Alberta. I got a letter today saying that I recieved $5000 from them, thats enough to cover my full tuition...but alas I am not going there so no money for me. What a kick in the pants...University of Calgary has some work to do to beat that one!
Then during spare, Richard and Jamie and I went on a snack run to the esso and bought a cappuccino. I was sitting in Biology sipping away at it...and it happened to slip out of my hands (dont ask how) and spill all over me....not a pretty picture.
Then, sitting in Physics last class of the day, Reed (that little bastard) set me up to sit beside him, and not realizing that there was the hugest nastiest gob of snot all over the table...I stuck my sleeve right in it. I know...how nasty...I yelled a few profanities at him, and gagged the whole way to the bathroom.
Tommorrow better be a damn good day.

How you know when your tardiness becomes a problem...

2006-04-08T00:30:00.000-06:00

i am not a punctual person. I can admit that. I think I take advantage that I live two hops and a skip away from school. This could be the reason why I now have officially too many lates and have to go for a noon hour detention sometime within the next couple of weeks...
now of course mom gave me crap about the whole situation. but i can't help but shrug it off and laugh about the whole thing. Brenda just needs to get one more, and then we can serve out detention together...talk about good planning! When Wiley told me about it, she was as easygoing about the thing as i was...so really, how am i supposed to take this seriously...

the only really lame part about the whole thing is that we have to answer a bunch of questions and write out goals of how we plan on not being late anymore...me and Brenda are thinking of having a contest to see who can do the best bullshitting on it....we'll let you know who wins.
