We had a ton of fun with my camera tonight... we were setting off fireworks and I suddenly said "Hey wait!!!! Let's take time exposure pictures with sparklers" and no one really was sure what I was talking about until the first picture was taken and everyone was surprised at how cool it is!
More to come, there are like 20 pictures and they are all 3mb a piece so it's taking awhile to upload. Bedtime! Cherry picking in the morning!!! As long as the storms hold out at least.
There's a big hearty debate going on over at one of the message boards I post at about paying for other people at restaurants on your birthday.
First I thought the girl was saying that if you have a party, you should pay for everything. I agree. If I am having a party at my house, I am buying the food and drinks. If people offer to bring something, I let them, if not, no biggie.
However, these people were saying that if you invite people out to a restaurant to celebrate your birthday, you are expected to foot the restaurant bill for everyone that comes.
Say you're not made of money. What would you do? What would your friends expect? Everytime we go out to eat with friends we go dutch. Except with my parents, God Bless them, they usually always pay for us and I love that! but I've never been paid by the Birthday celebratee or for or paid for other people on my birthday. I don't think my friends expect it. I'd never expect it if I went out for someone's birthday. If anything, the people at the party split the cost of the Birthday Celebratee's bill so they don't have to pay for anything. After all, it is their birthday, and that's an easy gift for them.
Does anybody come on here anymore?? Haha.
I'm getting a little stressed about finding a job in my field. Every web developer ad I find, it's either contract, or they want skills that I would need to take more courses for. I have come across about two or three ads that I was qualified for (even though they wanted 3+ years experience) and I applied but never heard back. It's really discouraging. Especially with my parents on my case about it.
I really want to move to Toronto. If I had the money, I'd be on my way right now. I even found an apartment (I actually checked it out in person in 2004), now I just need a high paying job. No less than $12/hr or I can't afford to move out. I would probably need a roomie too, but everyone already has one! Ugh.
My summer is starting to fill up more everyday! I'm excited! So far here is what is planned:
June 27th: Shelley & Jess's going away bash
June 28th & 29th: Margarita Party @ my house
July 12th & 13th: Oshawa/Whitby for Rachel's bday
August 2nd, 3rd & 4th: Annual August Party @ my house (Parents host it)
August 9th: Rebel Meetup in Toronto
August 23rd & 24th: Corn roast in Tweed(I'm just assuming this is the date, I just know it's near the end of the month)
I'm hoping to go to Wicked and/or Backstreet Boys too in August. I'm just hoping to get tickets.
We ordered me a new band with bigger diamonds today so nick is letting me keep and wear the original band on my right hand :) Woohoo i love jewelry. I got new tanzanite earrings today too for my 'something blue'

More diamonds are always better but I need some advice because I am honestly not sure what to do.
Option #1... keep the band that came with the engagement set (well, I'd keep it anyway, but I mean use it and only it as my wedding band
Here's both in B&W so the gold band doesn't confuse anyone :)
I really think I like #2 better, especially seeing the B&W picture. I just don't want to be too gaudy :) Ok, who am I fooling, what do i care?? hehe
One thing I don't like about Vox is that a reader has to be a member to leave a comment. Since I have a few friends at LJ that don't like Vox, I decided to make a change.
I don't want to pay for a website, a blog. I decided to sign up over at BlogSpot. I will continue to use my Vox for my private entries and rants, and I will continue to keep up with you guys! I'll just be posting more over there.
Another mom blog out there in a sea of mom blogs. I don't strive to be like Becca, Amanda, Dooce. I do just hope I can find some who relate to this insane world of parenting. I got the name, gone parenting, from glancing up and seeing Derek's "Gone Golfing" sign. Works for me. Instead of going insane, I've gone parenting. Same thing, just more rewards ;)
Thank you guys :)
