trampolining in ardrossan>trampolining in St Albert

maybe this is bad....posting out of sheer boredom. It's late, I should probably go to bed. Well not that late, but late enough to make me feel like I'm wasting my time doing anything but sleep. So I am house sitting......for my parents! Weird I know. I moved back home till the middle of next week while they are away. It's kinda weird. (I already said that.) Anyway. Here I am back in ardrossan feeling extremely isolated. Some things about living on an acreage are so incredibly awesome. Like jumping on a trampoline - slightly awkward in the city. If you jump, somebody WILL see you from their window. So you, jumping on your trampoline are feeling awkward because you know that someone is watching you. Not only is someone watching you, but they are probably just staring, perhaps judging you. But today I jumped on my trampoline in ardrossan and nobody saw me. I had fun and Steve joined me, and I didn't feel watched. Well, there are also other great things about living on an acreage but I pretty much am sick of writing this blog. I seriously have to go to sleep!

Slippin' Slidin' in St. Albert!

Slippin' Slidin was our after work past time this monday. We slipped and slid in the back yard. It was great. The most refreshing thing I have done this summer. This picture was taken with my phone. I am in love with my phone. These are all my housemates. From the left is Steph, me, Marla, and Lori. Garbage bags and dish soap work really well at making you super slick for a quick slip and slide! That was the day of the major rain pour that suddenly came and suddenly went. I love summer. I love living in this house. And I actually really like my job. More than I thought that I would. I'm starting to get good at it, which makes things a little bit easier.

new phone!

This is what my new phone looks like, except mine is in white. I have never owned a cell phone surprisingly enough. I have done fine until I moved out, and my new house phone is only in the basment and no one in our house cares about it because everyone else has cell phones. My bedroom is upstairs and I miss calls a lot, especially because we don't have voice mail. The last straw was when I went to rundle park and I couldn't find anyone because I didn't have a cell last friday. Steve and I got the couples plan from Rogers. We chose Rogers because it is the only company that gets reception in Steve's basement. I have the white one, and he took the black. Oh yes, we are that cool. I had to get the white one! It matches my car perfectly! It is kinda cool because it is a 3 mp camera as well as a walkman. It comes with earphones and is a mp3 player too. wowzers. Interestingly enough, all of the phone companies have the exact same couples plan for the exact same prices. They varie in apsolutly no way what-so-ever. We think that they're in cahoots.

long time no blog!

hey there everyone! I actually moved out. Totally and completely moved out. I now pay for everything I do. I have to buy the stuff I never had to buy, like q-tips, nail clippers, and laundry detergent. I have lived in this house for one week. At first it was VERY lonely, considering that I work at wonky hours, like evenings and 12 hour shifts on Saturdays. So I am at home unless I have something better to do until about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, then I go to work. So it definitely sucks for that reason. When I get home people are getting ready for bed. Although part of me really has no problem with shift work! I like having my days to sleep in and have some days that I get off really early from work, that part I don't mind, it is only an issue because no one else's schedule is similar to mine. So during the day I don't see anyone till I get to work, that is mostly why I am lonely. For the most part I really enjoy everything! My mom is coming for a visit today, and oh, she is here! ha ha, bye!

hurray!

I bought a car! it's pretty! it's white! it 1994! grand am! v6! 4 door! ahhhhhhhhh. I feel a lot better now. This weekend I am moving out. Excitement. I got the loan from the bank, although it required a lot of hasseling. I used up my gift certificates to Ikea and Sears from Christmas for a duvet cover, 500 thread count sheets! (oh, they are so nice!) and a rug type accessorie for my room! It will match my bright green walls, and I do mean bright green!

July long went awesome, went to Steven's parents cabin and did a hike, and a 4 hour quad ride! (literally 4 hours!) and it was no mediocre quad ride, very exciting. At night there was fireworks for Canada Day. It was a great weekend.

Steven did one of the cruelest things a boyfriend can do to a girlfriend. Oh yes, it may be hot outside, but does that justify shaving your head? It looked so different I couldn't even look at him for the first 15 minutes of him surprising me with it. I am more used to it now. Pictures to come of the horror! Oh how I miss his curly hair.....
