busy busy

Soooo… update time?

I’ve been keeping super busy with work, library comittee stuff, and a lot of trips to the gym with Lish and Janelle (always a good time… I love it!). Today is my second day off this week and it’s so nice to have a breather!!  I’m actually not driving myself too crazy because of the free time, which is a lovely change.

Yesterday was a blast.  Was at Phil and Lauras all morning for the Ladies Bible study closing brunch… everyone brought so much good food, and it was really enjoyable (once Laura, Mom and I got everything set up and ready for everyone)  It was so nice to be able to sit out on their beautiful deck and enjoy the sunshine and gardens.  Mmm… pictures are on facebook. (because seriously, if you arnt on facebook then you’re just silly… what are you waiting for?)

After the brunch-thinger I got a hold of Lish, and after some entertaining and super confusing MSN chatting (thank you msn for mangling our messages) we finally decided to head to sarnia to make the most of a glorious day.

    

Activities included (but were not limited too):  bringing Janelle an ice-cap at work, randomly meandering around sarnia trying to find ‘the back way into the park’, walking by the bridge, spotting some fisherman, going to the animal farm, taking a million pictures, walking through canatara, trying to find an unlocked washroom in the park, going to the beach portion of canatara, sitting in the warm sand, getting cold in the wind, checking for tan lines, getting a kiddie size scoop of icecream and enjoying it as much as humanly possible, going BACK to the bridge for some bench-goodness (with the icecream of course), finding a random artshop that I cant wait to explore next time I’m downtown, forgeting to buy fishfood for Brians goldfish, which is SOOO going to die now and it’s all my fault.  Sorry Brian.

Ya.. I was so tierd when I came home.  All that sunshine and fresh air really did me in, but I felt bad for skipping the gym (even though I did all that walking) so after a delicious dinner (thanks mom – cuz I know you are reading this) I went power walking across wyoming, back and forth, until my legs AND my mp3 batteries died.  Then I crashed on the couch watching reality tv, and spent a wonderful night in clean sheets which had been hung outside to dry.  =D  I love the clothesline, I tell ya… Mmm… so nice!  The only problem is my allergies are mad today, my eyes are so red and watery and itchy =P Oh well, totally worth it still….

I’m super excited for this weekend.  I’m going to an art show friday with Anne-Marie and then go to Lauras saturday.  It’ll be good to be back in that neck of the woods again.

Sadly, tomorrow is already my last day with Helen, my student from the college.  She rocks, and unfortunitly isnt going to be applying for a job with us because she wants to move back home.  Sigh.  And my worst fears about this came true.  She has fallen in love with me, and I’ve become quite accustomed to her calling me ‘JuBo’ and saying I’m cute after I say or do any random thing at all   I’m also going to miss her kite-flying adventure stories.  Oh well… such is life… and she’s on facebook, so it’s not like we will be going into complete withdrawl.

So there you go, a bunch of randomness so you know I’m still alive.
