Birthday Weekend in Whistler


This past weekend I celebrated my 25th birthday with 4 beautiful and fantastic friends in magnificent Whistler. We rented a hotel for the weekend and just ate, drank, partied, shopped, and slept. It was glorious! I had an amazing time and laughed sooo much.


Some of the most bizzaire things happened during the weekend!

1) Darla and I pretended to make out in the club to show up all the other people making out. She slammed me against the DJ booth and proceeded to molest me! Everyone was laughing at us.

2) I ran into my pastor at a club in Whistler while I was dancing like a geek...what are the freakin odds!? It was soo funny! He gave me money and told me happy birthday and to buy a drink on him! Lol!!

3) Darla and I were coming back from getting some ice, wearing pj's and hotel robes when we were pursued by some rather large and drunk guys down our hallway to our hotel room and one of the guys said to me "I'm gonna bite your bum, I'm not kidding hun, I'm comin and I am gonna bite it!" I fully believed him and this is when Darla and I went into panic mode and ran to our room.

All in all it was a great time. We went out for dinners, shopped all around the village, and did girly things.

Friday was our party night. The girls took me out for dinner at the Keg and then Darla and Kerris and I went to a club and showed Whistler some new dance moves! The cheese grater, martini shaker, etc!

Saturday we spent shopping and eating and drinking. In the evening we went hot-tubbing , then spent the night in our room wearing robes, doing face masks, eating chocolate fondue and watching a chick flick. It was such a fun and relaxing weekend.

My Leave of Absence

Today was a day of celebration for me. It was my last shift for three months working at the pharmacy! I have been working at Wal*Mart Pharmacy either part time or full time for 7 years! That is a freakin long time! I am so excited to have some time off from there to pursue my undergrad nursing job this summer.

Today was very hard for me to remain pleasant to rude customers knowing that I wouldn't be back for three whole months!!! But I managed to keep my cool with all the customers. However, I was asked 4 times during my shift while I was helping to stock the shelves if I worked there, (let me say also that I was wearing my Wal*Mart scrub shirt and name tag) and I turned and smiled politely each time and replied..."NOPE!" :) It was awesome!

My boss has been wonderful to me in letting me pick and choose my hours and shifts and work around my, dare I say, hectic nursing school schedule.

So farewell to my pill counting, bottle labeling, cream making, slave to the pharmacists' every whim days! Well for 3 months at least.
