ok so my friends are hilarious, kayla your comment made me take a moment, take a moment to laugh! yes, one minute we are dogs the next we are jesus...life is a gong show.
So life is waiting to get into the apartment-that has no internet-yes, the truth hurts. I will be living in a gorgeous sweet and all I will be able to think about is how much I wish there was internet. But there's nothing like cutting something out of your life to prove you are not addicted.
Recently have been reading articles on how coffee cuts down on worrying ( Dad imagine how much you would worry if you didn't drink...coffee that is:) Once again the benefits of coffee far outweigh the fact that it sucks water from your body and slowly turns you into a prune. Give me coffee or give me death. Then on the Cheerios box it advertised a book called, "stop worrying and start living", apparently life is not about worry-who knew?!
but who's worried.
about graduation, this lady from florida accosted me at my cousin Simone's after party and we chatted about the gas crisis, the socialist Canadian healthcare system and how the soul's issue's affect the bodily health of a person...we seriously covered all major hot topic's of society and I felt like I had run a talking marathon by the end of the conversation...in future I must avoid drawn out introductions at parties at all costs.
in future must avoid awkward public display's where I end up talking to strange people about absolutely nothing and not even doing a good job of remaining engaged in it.
and then I blog about it, awkward!

Happy Canada Day
Well, in truly canadian way I had a lovely non-holidaying holiday. I worked. It was fun, I gave everyone yellow straws...because it just seemed like a cheery thing to do. And I picked up 4 shifts in July so I will be able to pay rent.
In moving news, someone gave me a couch! Hurray! I have officially been given bedside tables to use as well as a table and chairs and now a couch. I get to move tomorrow and I am excited to have something fun to do this summer other than contemplate my existence...so I will move and set up house and take walks and finish reading augustine's confession...which I did not know was one of the first known autobiographies of the western world. but now I do. and right now all I can say about it is there is a lot of rhetoric I feel like it is writing prose as arguementitively as possible-as if assuming that I will have a problem with what he is saying-why defend, I'm listening. I am reading the book aren't I????
but the real big news is Korban has moved past the animal phase, no more does he come to the table as a hippo and licking things off his plate like a puppy. Nope, now he is Jesus. I really do feel like that boy has quite the view on life. Everything is 'wight now!' or it has to be a certain way that he can't explain and just starts crying with frustration about. And now he is Jesus. I think he is going to run the world...or be frustrated by our lack of vision.
in entertainment I am back into Jane Austin...I think I need to see persuasion again. And I luv reading Northanger Abbey...
Other than that I am moving tomorrow and I am almost packed and I am going on a walk right now so bye for now.
looking at my recent posting history I realize I have quite run-out of things to blog about. but I might revisit the recent past and tell you of my cousin's graduation and my encounter with a crazy lady at her party with whom I solved the problems of our healthcare system and basically the world-as well as talked about the mind body soul connection. I know, seriously, I know.
but one can't blog about all things at one time...

the late edition
ok,
so for weather we are looking at a breezy 15 C with scattered showers and never ending hazy skies...could be worse, could be snow!
and for info in the latest real estate I am looking at a basement apartment this evening....AHHHHHHHHHHH baby steps to being a truly independant woman. Truly a long time in coming I think...but yes, there are no furnishings and I will be sleeping on the floor and eating on the floor and watching my laptop on the floor:) fun times:)
and in travel we have tickets to singapore in september...this is a much anticipated and potentially dastardly plan to foil school for one semester among other things....life is too much to grow up.
yes, finally the education awareness. School is imminent on the horizon and I am looking forward to another round of grades and dormatories...
in what's fit for your lifestyle, try the gym (pronounced jim) or better yet the hot tub which is empty tuesdays and thursdays so the perfect venue for one....me.
and in friendship. Facebook the new address book. connects up to people you haven't seen in years and who you would luv to see again. I am missing the midwives in my life like crazy-I know this because I start having dreams about meeting up and traveling the world...or just browsing westjet for flights to winnipeg!
obituaries, my winter blues and a swet lady named Leslie Cullum-whom I had the priviledge of knowing throughout a good part of life in three hills. She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren whom she babysat for the last few years constantly.
weddings and engagement announcements...ha! try again next edition.

Coldplay...
I am in luv with his new songs...out of this world good. Also thanks to my friend Nathan who so nicely keeps me up on the latest and greatest on planet earth with regards to music. THe play is over and now I am looking forward to my bio 30 exam...for which I have not studied enough for...bah! I have been working like a mad woman and trying to get to study has dropped off the list of things to do..
I am terribly boring right now, I don't email that much and I have no life other than work so i really haven't had much to write about.
I got accepted to Mennonite University in Manitoba and should be going by january to study nursing. Kinda scary thought that I am heading back to the world of classes and being a learner again. Sometimes I feel like people can grow out of being learners, I am not the best learner either so having to improve my track record is also a big fear.
Went to a wedding shower for one of the ladies at work and won the toilet paper wedding dress award:) I luv playing funny games, and it also helps if I win too.
But basically this post is starting to feel like watching paint dry and I can't help but remember my auntie's immortal words, "reading blogs is the most boring activity on the planet" and thinking that she is utterly and completely right at this point. I mean who really does care if I brushed my teeth this morning or listed to Coldplay until 1am this morning....seriously, I feel like life is an accumulation of small events that make up a unique window into another persons soul...so for what it's worth and no matter how boring the scenery is, I don't care, it's my window and I can write that I brushed my teeth this morning on the worldwide web and someone will laugh or find it interesting (thats stretching it just a bit I think), maybe not you, or my auntie but someone will...maybe

My Fair Lady
You are all welcome to come see the play of the century put on by the town of Three Hills...My Fair Lady.
I am the bossy housekeeper and my sister is Eliza.
So my days have consisted of waking up and singing the silly songs to my nephews at breakfast, going to work at the hospital and then going to play practice (and now play performance) for the remainder of the afternoon. Monday we had a 10 hour rehearsal and Tuesday another 5/6 hour rehearsal....wednesday nite was opening nite....in which I heard Dr Dan laughing in the FRONT row and promptly lost all train of thought and butchered my first scene (the one where I actually have lines other than Yes, sir) BAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yesterday went much better for myself unfortunately the music scenes kind of fell flat...or sharp...they weren't on key.
So tonight we are hoping to yet iron out more kinks....hopefully one performance at least will go well for all...
Anyway, it is fun now that we are performing, two months of practice and owndering if it was going to come together-not so fun-
Yesterday Andi puked after the show-not so fun-so I helped with the kids this morning and am now off to subway to feed the hungry before I get my hair shilached to my scalp in a 'o so comfortable' and oddly disturbing way...
Last nite one of the ladies tripped right before her big entrance to one of the scenes-hilarious! and the other nite a man forgot his que and had completely changed out of costume before realizing he was late for the scene...which I was in...nerve wracking...Mr Higgin's ad libed for a good ten minutes while the man got dressed-he forgot to zip his fly and drew quite the attention from the audience-one hates to be laughed at instead of with.....but funny none the less.
more funnies to come...it's dinner theater tonight I think...what fun, roast beef and your neighbors prancing around in costumes...should make for an entertaining evening.

"and we all fall down"
So I finally got three days off in a row! Yeah! but before I can relax they involve saying good-bye to my parents for yet another prolonged period of time, and also the new car...yup Dad spent 4,ooo on a new to us car and then decided I needed to celebrate by taking it to visit my cousin and her kids...
well, the battery lite started coming up and I called and left a message about this. Not impressed with the 2 day old (to me) car. Sure enough 45 minute out of three hills it dies at a major intersection with just me inside...before you start feeling for me you must know that I reamed out my parents on the cell as I was looking at the lights flashing, the speedometer stop working and finally the car beeping at me incessantly; for buying the car, for having me, and basically for the sky falling on my head yesterday...yup, as the age old song goes, ring around the rosie, pockets full of posie, hush, hush...we all fall down...which later in life you find out means the black plague, 1/3rd of Europe dying and we teach it to our kids and watch them sing and dance thru a death chant. Who does that? Yesterday, the day of death (for the car) we all fell down...
well, needless to say, we had to have many 'discussions' about how everyone was handling the whole car dying right after being bought and mum and dad leaving and everyone knowing that I am NOT dealing with old cars again.
So, Dad got to 'talk' with the lady that towed him back to three hills, and I got to apologize profusely for having a tantrum on mum the day after mother's day,,,(you know you earn your title when...) and we all got home and I spent 3 hours at play practice and finally the day ended.
Today I told Dad we aren't allowed to talk about anything that includes the words transition, or cars...he has been very gracious, Oh and a supporter called and decided she wants to take mum to Steve's graveside...my mums, I tell ya, she deserve a medal...oops she just pulled up gotta go...

the rain in spain stays mainly...plainly, a gong show...
I am in the local town play. We are doing My Fair lady and I am Mrs. Pearce the housekeeper...I am kinda excited about being made up into an old bitty...but what I'm not excited about right now is...the gong show that is play practice...it's like watching paint dry with how slow things are coming together. As well, i feel like an imbecile because I can't seem to get my lines, oh and I'm working 56 hours this week and trying to stay sane...bahhhhhhhh
I am officially a gong show.
Anyway, moving right along to events...it's mother's day and I have no idea what to do for my mum...my parents bought a toyota corola cause the blue beast finally died...oh and me and mums and dad were in it...on the freeway entrace in Red Deer...so 4 soduko games later, as well as being passed by cars that weren't broken and sitting in a farm equipment sales yard...Yase came and picked us up. Mums said it was a sign from God to get a car...and Dad started looking up at the sky for it to drop down to us but I think even he is starting to listen to the constant dripping that is me and went out and bought himself a drivable car...of course it has to meet certain requirements, it has to pass the church parking lot-must-be-the-missionaries'-car test as well as the price range (we prefer free but sometimes we actually spend some money on cars) and finally the important seems to be Japanese made...for some reason Dad thinks that they live forever...truth is, we have been thru quite a few Japanese made for life cars...it doesn't seem to be the tried and true we think, but we stick with what we know right?
anyway, evertime a car breaks down dad says we're making memories...to bad my head is getting cluttered with all the broken down cars...I need some other memories already!
I really need to think of something for mother's day....
