Made it safe and sound!

Just for those of you who know where I am, I have made it safe and sound, of course there had to be something that went wrong. I forgot my bag of toiletries, yeah yeah!! It figures! Oh well. I am settled in and I am absolutely nervous about tomorrow! From the people I've met, they know where they are going, I don't. This could be interesting!!

Gambling isn't so bad!!

I am one of these people who gets annoyed with those who become addicted to certain things (ie: drugs, alcohol, and gambling just to name a few)however, these things (with the exception of drugs) can be moderately consumed and have no ill effects on the society around them. Take for instance when I go to the casino. It's not very often and when I do I only take $20. I can usually go to a blackjack table and make $20 last three or four hours. Well Saturday was an exception not a rule. We went to the casino and spent two hours at the blackjack table and we both walked out five dollars richer. We came home changed for dinner and went back in with one of my dearest friends. While we were at dinner we told her about our day and how we spent nearly two hours at a blackjack table and we came out 5 buck each ahead of the game. She found this rather intriguing. So back to the casino we went. Well my $20 didn't last so long but Max was doing well. So my friend gave me $20, she wanted me to play it because she is still learning the ins and outs. Well in three hours we were $50 up! That is the best that I have ever done! So that was pretty cool. But I won't be going back anytime soon. I have other things to concentrate on in the meantime!

WHOOO HOOO! Snow!

I woke up this morning to the sound of Max shoveling the snow off the back deck! It was so nice to just sit here today and watch the snow fall. And I just didn't sit around. I was helping mom with a new knitting pattern.

RBC Round 2: the sequel!

Well after much debate mom and I came to the conclusion that it would be much better if I just paid out RBC and just paid the Bank of Mom instead!

One would assume that that would be the end of it, but they also have the possibility of still screwing things up. I hope not, oh my god I hope not!

I'm D-O-N-E!

I finished my last day at my job! YAY!! It's good to leave on a nice note, we had such a busy week. Hopefully momentum will move us both forward!

Checkin out stat counter!!

I just checked out my statcounter and seen that not once but twice someone was checking me out from a CBC server in Ottawa, for over 13 minutes. COOL!!!!!

RBC Round 2!

First they wanted my money, now they don't!! This is getting frustrating! I can't wait to get this over with.

Just a word of caution for those planning to use student loans as a way of paying for University, DON'T!!! It's not worth the headache!

McKay should suck it up!

Admit it that you did call your ex a dog, apologize, and start getting to work on some real legislation!

Gettin in shape!

My new adventure has an essence to bootcamp to it. I have to be able to drop and give 20 whenever. Curl ups no problem, used to do those like nothing in high school and I can still do them... been working on them for the last two weeks! Push ups on the other hand. ABSOLUTELY EMBARASSING!!!!! I can't do them, I used to be able to do the lady ones back in high school but here's the thing, that was back in the day before my knees were total crap. So I have been working on them, I can feel it in my arms. This could be interesting, I just hope that I don't get kicked out of there on the account of that!

Hey! I finished a book!

I almost forgot to mention this! I finished it the other night. So now I have started on a book that I bought at Chapters for $6.99. It's a hard cover and if I remember correctly I got the book in the Last Copies isle!! Hopefully I will be able to finish another one before I leave for my adventure!

The countdown is on!

I have three more days at this job and I am off on my great adventure!!! I still have to pack for three months of god only knows what kind of weather.

I just have one question for my boss on Friday, and I hope I like what I hear. It'd be nice to know that I have done something right despite all the criticism that I have heard.

Yeah Sure!!

Sure thing, I am leaving my job and things get going better!

Does this mean I was dping something right???


Hmmmmmmm...

Missing Grad again!

I didn't do graduation in High School. I thought that I was beyond that, I didn't want to spend 4 hours with people that I didn't like. So this time when it came to graduate from University with a degree that I worked over eight years for, I was looking forward to the big university graduation ceremony at U of C. Unfortunately, I have to forgo that for the time being. I have to be elsewhere on that date and it is something that I can't get out of. So I guess I will be doing the convocation ceremony in Red Deer next June. At least my old profs will get to see me finally walk the stage!

Five days left!!!

I am done on Friday...

My adventure begins next Wednesday...

I can't wait, I get to sleep in next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!

Go Garth!!!

Garth Turner has it right, he works for his constituents!!!! He's been kicked out of the Conservative caucus because he is so outspoken about everything!! Even Stephen Harper!!

Too bad he couldn't take that attitude and run for the Liberal Leadership!!

Gettin there!

I've been working on this one book for over a month and a half and I am almost there. I have about 70 pages left to read! AND THEN THERE"S THE REST OF THE SHELF ON THE BOOK CASE!!!!

Fairmont!

Nice eh??

Reminicing!

Monday Tara came into the store and told me that one of my neighbours from the "old neighbourhood" had passed away. It kinda bummed me out because I had known that this gentleman had his fair share of health problems in the last few years, one of which was a stroke. Two of his grandchildren are my friends, Tyler, Vikki and I have known each other since I was about 4 or 5. Tyler was friends with my cousin Jed when he lived out in Wimborne, way back when!

I got a call this morning from Tyler, which was nice. I haven't talked to him in years... he's had two kids since then. This was the guy that I was pretty sure that I was going to marry him, and he was going to be a truck driver. This was when I was seven and we used to hang out behind his grandparents house kissing. Well part of that was right, we married different people but he did become a truck driver!!! He said that the first word that ever did come out of his mouth was truck! So we chatted for a few minutes and as it turns out he didn't know that dad had passed away three years ago. There are still a few people who don't know about that!!

Snow!

I woke up this morning with a distinct feeling, it snowed. I am a subterranian dweller, meaning my room is in the basement, which is nice because well I like it cold in my room. Ask Max, he wears socks to bed!

I get up to the top of the stairs and I notice that the leaves on the apple trees are covered with that beautiful white powdery stuff... SNOW!!!

Steven Harper is a Pig!!

According to the Chinese calendar, Steven Harper was born in the year of the Pig. I thought that was rather charming. But as I was also just informed that Paul Martin is a Rat.

If you read into this rather well you will surmize that we had Chinese food tonight for supper.

Oh and according to Max's fortune cookie: his sense of nurture will expand to include more people.... does this mean that my sushi cravings actually mean something??
