Ok, so what's new since I last updated?
You know how last blog, I was all discoraged and such?
After I wrote that update, God had some simple, yet really encouraging things in store for me.
Shaunna came home from her party, and decided that we should all have a pillow fight. It was the most fun I've had in awhile, and when all was said and done, we fell to the ground laughing. It was such a simple thing, and we had such a great time together, me, shaunna, crystal and stephanie. Something like that.. so simple. I went to bed around 1:30 Am, it was good, and I didnt manange to get to sleep until about 2:20, I was laying in bed listening to Celine Dion. Not even joking you. I've become a bit of a dork since I've moved here. But if it encourages you at all, I bought TOK CD the other day, and that's Reggae. So I'm still me. Just with a bit more wierdness than usual.
OK So this morning, I had two mid-terms. Intro to the bible was the one I was actually worried about, but it turned out to be a very easy exam, it was all multiple choice. If all exams were all multiple choice all the time, I would be so happy. Well, mabye not math, cause that just confuses me. But there's no reason that I would be in a math course to begin with, so blah to that idea.
Anyways, I got out early from Intro to the bible, cause it was tres simple. Then I went to check my mailbox, and got a few things. A really asian-style letter from whitney, including japanese candies that fizz in my mouth as I type, a halloween card from my auntie Ellie and Uncle Mike, and a random encouragement card from Pete and Jude sattler. Plus, I got back my Paper that I wrote for Tim Moore, with a perfect mark on it, which was also encouraging because of some of the comments he wrote on it. Awesome. You know, I possibly would have had those things a couple of days ago, were it not for the fact that I forgot my keys at res. I think God has a perfect plan for me, he knew I would need those letters today, not a couple of days ago, and so I left my key at home. I dont know, usually, when a person is in the middle of exams, they're stressed out and crusty, but today, I feel really encouraged. Jude sent me five buckeroos in the letter, I think I'm going to go and get a piece of pizza for lunch.. This fizzy candy is wierd... Umm yeah..
I have the hic-up's.. it's annoying cause I have no change to buy a drink. Oh well.
Oh you know what's awesome? It's totally not even hallowe'en yet, but two days ago, when I bought my wig, I also bought outdoor christmas lights, and they're totally awesome, we put them on the balcony, and they look incredible. Soon enough, we will have the tree and lights and everyting inside. I can't wait. How many days till christmas whit? It's your turn to keep track fi me.
Anyways.. I love you all very much, but I seem to have run out of things to say. For now, I'm out.
Much love forever:

Travelling Soldier
Hey What's going on everyone?
I am tired today. I don't have much to say, except for a few likkle things.
Here's the deal. I worked yesterday, and I absoloutely hated it, but today I had a blast right down to the stinking end.. I wonder what that's about?
And here's another deal. I am seriously considering cutting my hair.. Not super super short, but like.. shoulder length. If you know me, it sounds gross, but it wouldnt be if I straightened it every day.. What do you think? You'll have to see a pic I took, of what it would look like if I cut it.
What else... Well I don't really know. I am really missing everone today, it's kind of making me sad. I have two mid-terms tomorrow.. Do you think I've studied yet?
Mmm no.
I dont know what else to say today. I think that I might need some prayers of encouragement.. I dunno.. It's one of those days..
Peace out for now
Much Love Forever

Kung Fu and mystery music.
Good morning everyone, how's life treating you today?
Suprisingly, I'm as caught up as I'm going to be, and everything for all my classes is settled. I have a two week extension for my pentateuch stuff, tho I don't really need it, I'll hand my stuff in ASAP.. I have a three day extension for my cultural perspectives miterm, which could be better, but it's not bad. I handed in my spirituality paper, and now I feel better. I checked my school email for the first time today, and promptly realized that that makes it five different email addresses. Woo hoo. There's only two that I really use, but I still check every single one.
So sunday was spent cleaning, and writing letters. I wrote 10 letters, it was a grand old time. Sunday night, I went walking with Crystal and Alison, and I found the most perfect spot to chill, it kind of made me happy. Anyways... Enough of that..
Monday was a gorgeous day, I woke up and had some breakfast, then Mike and I went shopping for groceries to fill his empty cupboards. With that accomplished, I did some errands on my own time. I went to staples and finally gave them my account information, so that they can give me money. That's a good thing. Then after that, Iwent to mail all the letters that I'd written the day before, and then I went to buy some calling cards, which should last me through to the end of November, if I'm good. Then I went to HMV, just because I could. I was so excited, because they had a whole huge thing full of DVD's for only 4.99, and I've been looking all over for cheap DVD's for Treston. Not just any DVD's either, Kung Fu ones. I know, it's terrible. However terrible I think they are, I found four DVD's that he'll like, and that made me really happy. Then I went over to the pop section of the CD's and I bought a CD for him as well. I'm not going to tell you what the CD is, because it's potentially embarrassing. With that said, you'll never guess what the CD was.. Ha ha. Anyways, I'm pretty much done with Trestons Christmas present, I had to get it so early because it takes like a month in the mail to get there, so I have to mail it soon enough. I am really happy that I found all that. So after all my shopping experiences, I went back to the res, and chilled for awhile. I wrapped Trestons presents in christmas wrapping paper, which made me even happier. Haha..
I decided that I was going to make a good dinner yesterday, so I made chicken cutlets and pasta and then Crystal made brocoli and cheese, and all in all it was great.
Today is my first day back to class after the long week I had last week, and I got everything caught up, and so now I just have to wait 'till my next class, which isn't until 2:30..
Tomorrow and the day after, there are no classes, we have missions emphasis days, and I'm kind of excited about it, because they'll be better than any of the missions classes I've ever been to. ANYWAYS!
I'm going to go for now, cause I need to study for my mid-terms.
Sorry this is so short and random.. I'll talk more when I can think more..
One Love Forever

Go Canucks Go!
Good morning all you faithful blog readers!
I woke up extremely early this morning, it was kind of annoying, but I guess that's what I get for going to bed at nine thirty. But I did indeed need it. It was a nice sleep, I didnt get up once. But once I got up at 8:30 am, I found that I could not go to sleep, so I began doing what I do best out here in calgary, and that was : clean my apartment. In the midst of all that cleaning, I managed to spend six bucks on two loads of laundry, so it was upstairs and downstairs, upstairs and downstairs, all while scourging my apartment.
It was a long flight yesterday, back from Nova Scotia, Alexis sat with us for some of the way from Halifax to Toronto, and then we continued our trek to Calgary without them. When I got back yesterday, Crystal and Sarah (an off campus sister) had just woken up, it appears that Shaunna had gone away for the weekend. Anyways, so I went into the apartment, and the first thing I did was to shower. It was nice, there was even hot water! So yesterday, I pretty much slept from noon until dinner time, and then I unpacked everything, and had some amazing perogies with Crystal and Allison, and then I painted a little ceramic christmas decoration, and then copied some notes from classes I had missed, and then went right back to bed. It was pleasant. So my laundry should be almost done, then I'm going upstairs to fold it and get ready for brunch with my dear brother micheal. Open dorms starts at one, so he'll be up just in time with some hashbrowns and eggs, while I make Bacon and toast. Should be good. I feel like I had a really good morning, because I like it when my apartment is clean, and it's pretty much the cleanest I've ever seen it. last night I was going to go to see a movie with Crystal and Allison, but it started at 10, and I figured that I would be wayyyy to tired to do that, and I was right.
Hey the canucks won last night, my brother just informed me.. I like how the titel of my blog relates to one sentence within it. Hahah ..
Oh well.
So not much else has changed, I'm back in Calgary, and word has it that Cara is coming for a visit! That makes me happy. Hey it was all frosty this morning. Man alive, winter's on it's way! You know that it's almost halloween? That means that It's almost november, which means that it's amost december, and you all know what that means!
Ok well I'm going to go fold some laundry, I love you all, and chances are, I miss you too! Oh and By the way, Happy Birthday Diago..
Love Forever:

Bloody Cold!
Hello everyone, how's things going?
I feel strangely disconnected from the world today. I woke up this morning and I packed everyting up and went over to my nen's house.. (That means Godmother, that's what I call her)
(don't ask me, it's nova scotia, ok?) Anyways, we pretty much chilled the whole mornin, and then had to say goodbye so we could drive out to Halifax, so we could get to the airport early in the morning tomorrow. It was a long drive, but oh well. I survived, and now we're all at our cousin Nolons house, waiting for tomorrow to come.
It's been a wierd week, and really really hard too. But the bad was somewhat balanced with the positive, because nova scotia is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been..
The funeral was a sad affair, but I managed to do my reading without choking on my words or tears. Micheal did a wonderful speech as well. All in all, it was the most emotional event I've had to deal with in a long time.
The day after the funeral, my mom and I headed up on the cape with my great uncles quad (ATV) and it was amazing. It was a perfect sunny morning, and there wasn't too much wind, but the ocean.. it was amazing... I can't wait to show you the pictures. People said that I shouldn't take my camera to such an event, but I knew that Nova Scotia was gorgeous, and so I did. The water.. it's just endless forever.. It makes me feel so peaceful to just sit on the cape and watch the atlantic ocean crash to the shore, and look at the lighthouse on the island in the distance. It's amazing. When I went to NS two summers ago, I sat there for hours writing and just watching the water. It's amazing.. I don't think I can say that enough. My mom was so lucky to grow up in such an amazing place.. Ahh!
So now, my week has come to an end. It's almost wierd to think about leaving and going back to calgary, I wish so much that I was just going home to north vancouver. It's sucky how much I miss it, even tho I've been here in Nova Scotia with all my family, it's not the same.
I don't know what the deal is with me, I have so much to say, but at the same time, I'm at a loss for words. I think mabye I'm still in shock, I'm still numb.. It's like nothing has really been happening, but I know that I have to go back to calgary, and catch up on so much work. It's going to stress me out so much, I almost just want to stay here. Then again... Hahahha...
So there's 21 of us here tonight, in Lower Sackville just outside of halifax, in this tiny little house. It's going to be interesting, but I shottied the couch, so it'll be alright.
It's my grandma's birthday tomorrow, which I think will be really difficult for her, because uncle derrick won't be calling her.. Arg, things are just retarded. I was just thinking, My uncle and I had a fight ( a huge one ) a little over a year back, and we didn't talk for a long while. I am so glad now that we forgave each other, because I know for sure that I would not have been able to live with myself if I had not forgiven him, or he had not forgiven me before this happened. If it was hard to deal with now, It would have been 20X harder if we were fighting. Ahh..
So what else.. My aunt paid me 40$ to give her a massage this week. It was enjoyable, for her and me, cause money is always great fun.
Ok, you know what I noticed? Out here in Nova Scotia, people are NUTS for halloween! They decorate for it like I would decorate for Christmas! IF you know me, then you must be shocked right now! It's nuts! That was that. ... Ok, not as big of a deal as I thought.
I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. We head to the airport at around 5:30 am, (Icky) and then start the trek to Calgary. We stop in toronto, but aparently we don't get off the plane..
Ugg. I dont know what else to say. I'm exhausted right now, so I'm going to end this for now.
I love you all..
Love forever

"I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far
Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
Because of you, I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of You, I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
because of you, I am afraid."

The sky falls and you feel like it's a beautiful day.
Hey Everyone, How's your day going so far?
Well It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! That is to say, it's a nice day in Calgary. The sun is shining, and everybody's happy. I woke up this morning, and had a niiice hot shower, which is rare, because there is rarely any hot water left by 7:30 am, because everyone has classes, and everyone wants to shower. But Nonetheless, I had a hot shower, and I had some burnt toast for breakfast, which wasn't as bad as it sounds, and then I headed out to missions class, which I am beginning to despise, only cause of the bloody geography tests! But that bitterness aside, I've been having a good day. After my class this morning, I chilled for a bit in the lounge, attempted to write my (due today) Pentateuch paper, and failed miserably, because I forgot my textbook, and so yeah. I didn't get that finished until I went home for lunch, wrote my answers on a piece of paper and then came back here to finish it up. It's actually impressive, I should leave assignments to the last minute more often.. (NOT)
So I went to check my mailbox, and there was a note that said I got TWO packages! I was expecting one, but the other one, I wasn't so sure about. So I went to go get the boxes, and it turns out one of them was full of winter goodies (Boots, gloves, a scarf and a toque) and the other one was another box of winter goodies (Candles!) They are so pretty, I am so spoiled.
Mom also sent me Archie comics, which come in handy here, when things are boring.
So yeah, here I am. I was hoping that some people would be on MSN but alas, no one is online. I had a really good lunch today, I had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, and a sausage roll from safeway. It was yumms. I resisted all temptation to buy a piece of pizza along with a couple of other people from my school, and I resisted well. My cupboards are full, and so I will eat at home only from now on. 'Sides I don't want to waste any money on things I don't need.
Speaking of things I don't need, I'm going to send some crap home that I'm not using, so that I don't have to bother with it at the end of the year. We aren't sure how April is going to look, but I got to get my stuff home somehow, so the less stuff I have, the better!
I have class in half an hour, but I don't feel like going. Of course I'm going to go, I rushed the paper that's due today for it anyways! So I'm going to Pentateuch soon enough. The paper was all about the exodus and the plagues and stuff, so the lyrical adventure for the day is from Metallica, and it directly relates to it! Although it is kind of creepy. Oh well..
For now, I'm going to go and write some emails.
Much love forever!
Love always: Shle

Well It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! That is to say, it's a nice day in Calgary. The sun is shining, and everybody's happy. I woke up this morning, and had a niiice hot shower, which is rare, because there is rarely any hot water left by 7:30 am, because everyone has classes, and everyone wants to shower. But Nonetheless, I had a hot shower, and I had some burnt toast for breakfast, which wasn't as bad as it sounds, and then I headed out to missions class, which I am beginning to despise, only cause of the bloody geography tests! But that bitterness aside, I've been having a good day. After my class this morning, I chilled for a bit in the lounge, attempted to write my (due today) Pentateuch paper, and failed miserably, because I forgot my textbook, and so yeah. I didn't get that finished until I went home for lunch, wrote my answers on a piece of paper and then came back here to finish it up. It's actually impressive, I should leave assignments to the last minute more often.. (NOT)
So I went to check my mailbox, and there was a note that said I got TWO packages! I was expecting one, but the other one, I wasn't so sure about. So I went to go get the boxes, and it turns out one of them was full of winter goodies (Boots, gloves, a scarf and a toque) and the other one was another box of winter goodies (Candles!) They are so pretty, I am so spoiled.
Mom also sent me Archie comics, which come in handy here, when things are boring.
So yeah, here I am. I was hoping that some people would be on MSN but alas, no one is online. I had a really good lunch today, I had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, and a sausage roll from safeway. It was yumms. I resisted all temptation to buy a piece of pizza along with a couple of other people from my school, and I resisted well. My cupboards are full, and so I will eat at home only from now on. 'Sides I don't want to waste any money on things I don't need.

Turkeys, Stars and Cars.
Hey Everyone, how was your thanksgiving weekend?
Mine was full of so much stuff, I don't even know where to start. First, we drove to Vermilion, Alberta, and let me tell you, I kind of love that little town. When I was just a little kidlet, I always wanted to live on a farm and be able to see for miles and miles, and watch the stars at night. So here I was in small town Vermilion, and I could see for miles, (mind, Cara don't live on no farm) but the stars were incredible. I enjoyed it. And there were these cats everywhere, so cute, but kind of all over you, you know what I mean? But I love kitties. I almost wanted to take one back to res, but I didn't think Chris or my roomies would have liked that. You know what was fun? Cara has one of those old school Nintendos, with like the first Mario games, and they were so much fun. I've always wanted one of those, but I know that if I had one in my room, I would get EVEN LESS work done than I usually do.. That wouldn't be good at all.
So Friday night, we went out for dinner at the towns fancy restaurant, called Tuscany.. It was pleasant. Then we watched a couple movies, Fever Pitch, and Shakespeare In Love. Both were enjoyable. Then, the next mornin, we went to Sammys for some breakfast, and consequently, some peach juice. Micheal and Cara both said it was 'off" but I enjoyed it none the less.
Some things about Vermilion. ... While I was there, I sort of made fun of it a lot, things like Vermilion Road, and other things like that, but in reality, I actually love it. Remember how (a couple of minutes ago) I said that I could see the stars and for miles and miles? It's incredible. I'm not saying that I could ever live there, but I think that if I had a way of transportation, I could definitely stay there for awhile.
Speaking of stars.. The stars remind me of God's faithfulness to us, and not just because they are there, but because of this wicked experience I had awhile back, when I worked at good ol' Camp Kawkawa. This one night, Pele (lifeguard) and I were sitting out on the beach, and I was commenting on how I had never seen a shooting star. Pele and I waited for about 20 minutes, and then Pele suggested that we pray that God send us a shooting star. The sky was so clear, it was amazing. We prayed, and about 10 minutes after that, there was a shower of shooting stars. at least 20 or more of them. It made me think real hard-like. If God would answer the simplest prayer to send shooting stars to a couple of kids working at a summer camp, (and I do believe it was God, that was no coincidence.) then think how he answers prayers about important things. God is Faithful, He will never let you down. And when God answered that prayer to me at Kawkawa, He made himself so real to me.. All of the sudden, when I saw those shooting stars, I was overwhelmed. God Loves me! Those shooting stars were a gift beyond anything I've ever gotten before. And God sent them to me. Sometimes I think it's important to remember his faithfulness to us.. *Shrugs* Just a thought.
Anyways. Saturday after breakfast, I basically just chilled with mike while Cara made us an amazing turkey dinner. It was brilliant. I played Nintendo.. It's fun.
so we had turkey, and then the next morning, we sort of went to church, but then realized that we had to leave early to make it to spruce grove in time for Auntie Jana, cause she wanted to leave by 1:30 to get to Valley View, where my Uncle David was working on a rig.
SOOOOO A long drive later, we arrived in Valley View, took uncle David out for dinner, and then chilled at the hotel, played cards ect.... The next day we drove all the way back to Calgary..
It was a long day..
So now here I am. It's the 12th of October, and it's Andrews Birthday!
SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW! ASHLEY LOVES YOU!
I woke up this morning, and the sky had this orange tint to it, it was incredible, it bathed my room in a coppery color. I woke up at eight for my eight fifteen class, and I was totally ready to skip, but since I'm such a good girl, I got up and came to the school, only to find out that The prof called in sick and so now here I am, awake when I don't have to be.
Tonight, we have a floor meeting, and tomorrow, I have to work.. It should be great.
The schools in NV are all on strike, I'm kind of jealous, but I can't complain too much, because I finish school two months before the high school kidlets do.
Soon I have to get my butt to Edmonton to get fitted for my bridesmaid dress for Mike and Cara's wedding. Speaking of the dress, you'll never guess what color it is. Yeah that's right, it's definitely going to be pink, AND Guess what!? My Aunt gave me a pink vest and I wore it yesterday! I am scaring myself. So, going from a person who never wears pink, and who actually despises the color, here we go. Things are a changin. But Believe me, I will not buy my own pink clothes .. Not yet anyways.. .. OH You know what made me really excited? I talked to Sam yesterday, he just got back from London, and It made me really happy. I miss him a lot.
I can't wait until Christmas when I can see everyone.
Wooooo hoooo..
Ok I know that this blog is quite random, but that's just what you gotta deal with when you deal with me, alright?
So for now, I'm going to peace..
I love you all!
Love Forever: shle

"A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me"

Familial Relations and Staples!
You know, I was working last night, and this guy came up to me, (and this is funny, because I work in a store called staples,) and he goes "Excuse me, do you have any staples?"
I laughed.
This leads me to tell you that last night was indeed my first night of work. Around quarter to five, I got dressed and headed over. It was overall, an enjoyable evening. They are starting me as a cashier, then I will move into the copy centre. So I got there, got my uniform, which isn't so bad, it's red and black.. I like those colors. Ummm back on track! I got the tour of the place, and then watched the basics of bieng a cashier. Then I started ringing people through, all in all it was alot of fun. I enjoy the people I work with, the only issue I had was paging people over the loud speaker system.. I dont enjoy having tons of people hear my voice, which is why I dont like it when my godparents stick me on speakerphone. Grrs. OH WELL! This is going to be, I think, a fairly enjoyable job.
So it appears I don't have much to say about that... It was, after all, my first day. More to come on the whole staples job thing..
So I got home, put on some comfy pants, and chilled. I called some peeps, talked on the phone for about an hour (56 minutes, to be percise) to about everyone in Tricias house. It was enjoyable. My auntie audrey called me last night, which was also fun, cause she's amusing! I also talked to my gramma in ontario, and my great aunt, right here in Calgary, and some other people. It was enjoyable. Umm I aslo read the entire book of genesis yesterday instead of going to chapel (GASP!) It was actually an enlightening experience, I learned alot by it. It was an assignment, so I didn't choose to do it, but believe me, I am glad that I did. I learned alot about family conflicts, and when I think about it, the stuff we have to deal with today in our families, (some of us, at least) is nothing compared to the insane conflicts in genesis! Incest, murder, lies, slavery, seduction! it sounds like it could make a great novel! (what am I talking about, it's already a book!) Speaking of novels, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MYSELF?
I've been here a month, and I finished the Harry Potter series already.. Now I just dont know what to do with all my spare time! I enjoyed reading the series, it was fun. Then my roomie Shaunna, gave me a book to read, called "danger in the shadows" .. It was a christian-romance-mystery novel.. Quite the combonation, if you ask me. If you don't, too bad, I'll tell you anyways.
Not quite the Danielle Steel that I'm used to, but excellent if you ask me. I read it in two sittings, half the first day, and the other half the second one. It must have been good for me to finish that quickly.. so yeah. If any of you have any good novels that you feel like reccomending, hit me!
(NOT PHYSICALLY, SILLY!)
This blog isn't really going anywhere. OH! I forgot, Robert, you wanted me to mention you! So here you are. Hi Robert.
Incidentally, none of you (except robert) knows who robert is. He is a friend of mine from a likkle country in the caribbean, and that should be obvious to you which one it is. Enough of that.
Tomorrow morning at eight am, we, (bieng mike and I) are headed out to Vermillion, Alberta, and I am so excited about it. I've heard amazing things about the peach juice in vermillion, and so we totally have to go and get some.. If your peach juice is the best thing about your town.. then good on you for bieng proud of it! We'll just have to see if it really is as good as I've heard.
UMMMM! Ok well I'm bored of this, and it aint going nowhere, and Plus, i want to go upstairs and borrow two bucks from my lovely brother.
Much love everyone.
Have a very thanksgiving!
Love always

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared.
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face.
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened.
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't.
I laughed.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
So I woke up yesterday morning, and looked out the window.. I had to do a double take, because it appeared that big huge white flakes were falling from the sky.. So I rubbed my eyes, and looked again.. It sure was snowing. This of course, put me in the mood for happy things and Christmas, which put me in the mood for going home. So I put on Christmas music, but only for a couple of songs, because I didn't want to spoil the time when Christmas would actually come. So yeah.. Yesterday was the first snow of the season for Calgary.. Thank God it didn't stick. So I logged onto the computer at school the other day.. And Bert and Ernie were staring at me, instead of Bernie and Ernie.. I was amused, so amused infact, that I laughed out loud into the empty room. I regret the day (sort of) that I told mike my password... But It does add amusement to my days, so I kind of enjoy it when my background randomly changes. This one time, it was Garth brooks instead of .. I don't even remember who, but I was like... WOAH! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? So this last weekend with Tricia was kind of boring, due to the fact that I have barley any money, and that I don't know my way fully around Calgary yet, AND that I have not got a vehicle at my disposal.. nor would I know where to drive it if I did.. So that's that. We went to go see two movies for the price of one, at a cheap theatre. I let tricia choose one, tho I knew it would be a mistake, cause she chose Madagascar, and we all know how much I love spending my money on Cartoons.. (NOT!) I didn't enjoy it, the only part that I liked was when the king of Limers started dancing and singing "I like to move it move it, you like to move it move it, we like to move it move it.." Well.. You get the point. It was funny, tho, because dude had a Persian accent. So after that, we had about a 45 minute wait until the next movie, which I chose, and I picked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, because 1. I liked the original, and 2.Johnny Depp was in it, although he looked like a woman, he's a good actor, and 3. Nothing better was playing. So that's my excuse for that one. Naturally, the original Charlie and the chocolate factory was better, but the two were very different. In the first movie, Willy Wonka is meant to be creepy (and believe me, he is) and in the second movie, he's just plain funny. I enjoyed it.
Kill me now, I had a whole bunch of paragraphs after this one, and then the blog decided it would erase itself.. SO Starting again... grrrr...
Friday, mike and I are headed out to Vermillion to have a thanksgiving celebration with Cara and her family, and then on sunday, we're headed to Spruce Grove, to have another thanksgiving with our family.. I am really excited to spend some time with my family.. Yes, I am admitting to missing them, family, that is.. I even miss living with my parents.. IMAGINE! So speaking of my family, Things at my permanent place of residence (Meaning Not Cow-Town) are a changing. My parents decided to get rid of the focus,.. My baby.. ahhh! And replace it with a mini-van.. Not so wierd, except for the fact that when they got rid of the mini van for the focus, it was because mike and I were older, and we no longer needed a large car.. And mom's babysitting the three kidlets from next door, (who are so cute, and I miss them too) and fostering one, possibly two babies, and there just wasn't room for them in the focus.. So it's back to the family mobile ! Speaking of cars, I just booked my road test for December, then realized that I'm not insured to drive the mini van until April.. So I can't really do the road test then can I? SO I cancelled it, which really sucks..
Speaking of no room, (in the car. We were, I promise) my family is also considering moving to a larger, somewhat more comfortable house in the future.. It is funny, because all the talk before I went to college was about how mom and dad would move to a smaller house now that we're gone, but no... A larger house it is.. Possibly with a large basement for me to take over and inhabit while I go to school and sort out my life.. Should be a lot of fun. As it goes right now, there is a crib in my room, not sure how that works, cause my room is so small, good thing Im not living there right now cause I'd be cramped up! But I really want to see Dylan (this baby they're fostering) So hopefully I will. Maybe He'll even be there at Christmas when I come home. Either way..
So not much else is new here. Oh wait, that's a lie. I got a job the other day, and I start on Wednsday.. It's at "Staples Business Depot".. I'm kind of nervous, because i have never worked in retail before, just in food and all that.. you know, Subway, KFC, The Deli.. (Ick) This is going to look fairly good on my resume, and I'm excited about it.. Nervous at the same time, tho.. Anyways.. for now, I'm going to go, I have to jet to the bank, pay my phone bill, get some direct deposit info for staples, and woo hoo!
So it's been a slice, I miss you all..
Pay attention in class, don't get caught reading my blog, whit!
I love you all!
Love forever: Shle

To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream

And I'm wishing on tomorrow, rain never come
And I'm wishing on the other things we never done"

As it goes right now, there is a crib in my room, not sure how that works, cause my room is so small, good thing Im not living there right now cause I'd be cramped up! But I really want to see Dylan (this baby they're fostering) So hopefully I will. Maybe He'll even be there at Christmas when I come home. Either way..
So not much else is new here. Oh wait, that's a lie. I got a job the other day, and I start on Wednsday.. It's at "Staples Business Depot".. I'm kind of nervous, because i have never worked in retail before, just in food and all that.. you know, Subway, KFC, The Deli.. (Ick) This is going to look fairly good on my resume, and I'm excited about it.. Nervous at the same time, tho.. Anyways.. for now, I'm going to go, I have to jet to the bank, pay my phone bill, get some direct deposit info for staples, and woo hoo!
So it's been a slice, I miss you all..
Pay attention in class, don't get caught reading my blog, whit!
I love you all!
Love forever: Shle

"I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I'm wishing on the rainbows that I see
I'm wishing on the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, rain never come
And I'm wishing on the other things we never done"
