♪♫ Get Lucky - Daft Punk
Before leaving to catch the bus on Saturday morning, I had some toast, did the last bit of packing and getting ready. My cat was following me around and kept jumping in my lap. I think she sensed I was going away and she was saying goodbye. I gave her lots of hugs and kisses, then I called my taxi and pulled my luggage down my long flight of stairs (which caused me to pull a muscle in my arm). The bus showed up not long after I got there and I wasn't tired (since I actually got a decent night's sleep). So I listened to music and looked out the window at the scenery. I love the Canadian countryside. It's so beautiful. Anyways, I had to switch buses halfway and thankfully the bus was already there waiting. Sometimes you have to wait a while. One time I waited four hours. This is the first time the bus was actually already there. Not long after getting on the second bus, I passed out. I don't know why. I didn't feel tired before. But I passed out. I woke up as the bus was coming into Halifax (good timing, eh!?).
As soon as I arrived at the Halifax bus terminal, my grandmother was there waiting for me with the car. We drove to John's Lunch for something to eat and stopped at Value Village. I found a cute Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean) plush doll. It was only 33 cents, so I got it. That's a sweet deal if ya ask me. I wanted to do more shopping, but we had to go to the house (my grandmother and cousin's house). I got settled in a bit and we had a BBQ. Just the three of us, but it was delicious. My grandmother and I decided to get groceries afterwards.
I dropped off an old disposable camera to get the pictures developed before we went through the grocery store. Its really old and I used it up two years ago when I was living with my ex-boyfriend. I'm sure the photos are gonna be interesting. The woman said it's gonna take a week or two. I hope its done before I have to go home. So yeah...grocery shopping was actually exciting. I picked out a lot of healthy food and a couple treats. I'm gonna be eating healthier, exercising and tanning while I'm here, in case I haven't mentioned that. Its hard to eat healthy food at my house, because my mom loves unhealthy food. -_-
I got a scratch ticket on my way out of the grocery store and I won another free scratch ticket. I wish I would win a few thousand dollars so that I wouldn't be so worried about saving for my apartment. Also, we drove by my old middle school before we got home. I only went there for grade 8, because I was being bullied so badly back in New Brunswick (but I got really homesick and went home for high school). I was really shy and awkward that year, but I have some good memories, like; talking to Robyn for hours, learning html/css, going through a "hip hop" faze (what was I thinking!?), etc. I can't wait to see more places from my childhood. So much nostalgia. ^_^
I spent the rest of my evening in my room (that's right - I got my own room for when I come here to visit!). I set up some of my stuff and tested out the bed (they bought a bed, which is great because I hated sleeping on an air mattress). I decided to watch Spring Breakers and enjoy some red velvet cake ice cream. I'm usually not into movies like Spring Breakers, but I kinda liked it. Guilty pleasure I guess? I started reading The Stand after that. I seen it in the closet when I was laying down and I've always wanted to read it. Only a couple chapters in, but its great so far. :D
This morning I woke up and made a delicious and healthy smoothie. The ingredients were; a banana, strawberries, blueberries, greek yogurt and milk. Yum! I wanna make one every morning. It gave me a big boost of energy. Which is good, because I had a busy day. My grandfather came and picked my grandmother and I up to go to a flea market. There was a lot of awesome stuff there. My favorite part was the book section. Shelves and boxes and tables filled with books. I spent so long looking around and managed to find so many books I needed to complete series I have. And they were so cheap too. No more than five dollars. The only other things that looked kinda interesting around the flea market, was GameCube games, Super Nintendo games, Living Dead Dolls and action figures. But a lot of it was expensive.
We went to Value Village after the flea market. I found more books that I wanted. A few that I've never heard of, but the description on the back sounded great and the first page pulled me in. I wanna get more books while I'm here on vacation. I'm so addicted! Altogether, I got 17 books today. Including the True Blood books my cousin gave me. I also found a super comfy flannel plaid shirt. I wanna buy more of those too. I love plaid shirts. It seems that I keep getting ones with a lot of red. I need a variety of colors! Hopefully I'll find some. I also need pants and bras. I'm gonna go to La Senza, Victoria's Secret and Wal-Mart sometime in the next week. Odds are I won't buy anything at Victoria's Secret, because its so expensive. :(
We went on a little trip out of town afterwards to a place called Fisherman's Cove. Its a small fishing village with a beach, gift shops, restaurants and a museum. We went to a restaurant called Boondocks first, because we were all hungry. Their food was so good. I've never tasted seafood more fresh in my life. We went through the gift shops for a little while after dinner. I bought a post card to send my boyfriend and my grandmother bought us Popsicles. Unfortunately because it was so hot, the Popsicles melted really fast and got all over my hands and feet. We didn't go on the boardwalk or on the beach, but I got some beautiful pictures. Next time we will! :)
I watched TV with my grandmother for a little while when we got home. I was waiting for all the seasons of Martin Mystery to download. They've finally downloaded and are on my Playbook and ready to go! I won't be watching it until after this blog, but I'm excited. I've also got some delicious Arizona iced tea and I'm gonna read The Stand until I fall asleep. I'm hoping to read at least five more chapters. It shall be a good night. :3
