Well, we officially have internet at my house, but my router is not working so I'm not able to have internet on my laptop quite yet, boo! =( Shayani was gracious enough to allow the MTS guys to set up the internet on her laptop, since Debby's computer wouldn't have worked cuz it's an older one... so we've been sharing Shayani's computer... thank you my friend!
Right now actually I'm at the Brenton's babysitting the kiddies... got to sleep in til 8 this morning, woo! =) Last time I was here they were both up at 7, and it was go go go all day til Kim (the mom) got home... Well actually I kinda took a break about 2, the girls were upstairs playing in the living room and I sat in the kitchen where I could still keep an eye on them but could sit down and relax for a little bit... Today I was hoping to take them to the park or something, but it's so chilly out today! If I can find their jackets and stuff then maybe I'll still take them out for a bit, but not too long... It's supposed to be sunny and 13 today, but right now the wind is pretty chilly, so we'll just have to see...
I'm actually really excited for autumn! =) Autumn is my favourite season, I love the colours, the smells, and when it's warm enough for a sweater but chilly enough to make your cheeks rosy... =) Lol I read my friends' Facebook statuses when they complain how summer's over and it's getting cold, but I'm loving it! True it kinda sucks on days like today when I wanna take the kids to the park, but I truly love the weather =)
Hmmm let's see, what else to update on? Oh, my birthday! The party was SOOOOO fun!!!!! =D all except for the creepy drunk guys LOL! There was the Australian guy who was so drunk that he asked me four times if it was my birthday and, "if it wasn't too intrusive," how old I was... Seriously, FOUR TIMES he asked me the exact same thing! Ugh... Then there was that other creepy guy who wanted me to play doubles at pool with him and his buddies, with him of course as my partner... And I really didn't want to, there was just something about him that creeped me out... Then there was that other guy that Betty ended up chatting with... Chatting being the understatement of the night LOL!!! He first just started hanging around the booth where I was with the Smitty's crew, then I went over to the other booth where Kristy and her friends were, and he kept following me, creeper... Then Kristy's friend bought a round of shooters (china whites, pretty good actually!), and when I was over by the Smitty's crew booth I said I was going to have a shot, and the creeper guy was like, "oh how about 4 more? ;)" and I was like, "....no. *walked away*" hahaha it was really funny looking back at it now... But Dennis was right there and looked out for me, he said he'd protect me lol... yay! I really was fine, I felt no danger, just creepiness, which I can handle... Plus with a bunch of my friends there, I was doing well =)
Oh my gosh so then afterwards when Betty was shooting pool by herself (practicing I suppose lol) the creeper guy went over to chat with her, and she was totally flirting with him, it was sooooo funny hahaha I laughed so hard!!! But it was getting close to closing time, so I called a cab, which never came!!! Ugh! Lol when I called, they were like, "yeah, there's already one on its way..." and I was like, "No, I need another one" cuz the first one was Debbie's... But it never came! Then Dennis called his cab, and it came, so we (Dennis, Betty, and I) all just piled in this cab, and went home. Betty stayed at my place for the night, which was really cool cuz when we got there Shayani was still awake so we showed Betty the house and then we chatted for a while, it was really cool =)
So now I'm 22 haha... Doesn't feel much different than being 21... Oh yeah! Then Sunday night I stopped at my mom's before work for a few minutes, and she had gotten me a laundry hamper, which is totally awesome cuz I needed a new one... =) And also $50 for shopping, but I'm only allowed to use the money if I'm with either her or Granny, so she took the cheque back to hold on to so I don't use it on anything else... Isn't that nice? She doesn't trust me... Ugh... Anyways, after work, I stopped by to pick up my hamper, and Granny was there and my mom had a DQ cake, which was really cool! That's always been a tradition in my house, she buys me a DQ cake every year for my birthday and Granny will come over and we'll have cake! =)
But since then (well really, since Sunday morning), I've been going going going non stop... Sunday morning I slept in and was late for church (but Debbie came to my rescue and picked me up and even had Timmy's!), then did Jr Church with 12 kids, then headed to Mom's, then work, then cake, then had to rush home cuz I went to Kristen's for the night cuz I babysat Josh all day yesterday... Lucky for me though he's the easiest kid to babysit EVER! He usually spends his day playing video games and sometimes watches TV... So I at least got to have a day of relaxation, which was nice =) Then from Kristen's I stopped at home for 5 minutes to pick up some stuff I had forgotten the night before, then off to work, then straight to the Brenton's for the night, and this morning I'm watching the girls! Kim does have a dentist appointment after work, but she said she might reschedule it, she's gonna call me about that...
So after I'm done here I get to go home, I'm so excited!!! I haven't really hung out with my roomies since Friday night, and I miss them a lot! I woke up this morning to find an email from Christina, just a short note to tell me she misses me and wants me to come home soon LOL it pretty much made my day =)
Well, it's 9:30, PL is finally up and asking for breakfast, so I'm gonna head upstairs and feed us all... Until next time my friends! =)

Eleven Days!
As if it's been over three weeks since my last update... yeesh, sorry to my faithful readers! I will be getting internet on the 22nd, so I do promise to update more often!
Wow, lots of stuff to update on too, lots has been going on, and yet really not much haha... We did get rid of all the mice in our house... I had found one dead in a trap in the pantry a couple weeks ago, and since then we haven't seen any... Although last night Christina told me she found some droppings, but we're not sure if they're fresh or not... but no sightings of actual mice yet, so we're hoping they're old!
I've been getting along really well with my roomies, awww I love them so much =) It's been interesting seeing the relationships grow... between me and the other girls, and even between the other girls... We're learning a lot about each other, sharing our stories, figuring out how to live together as a community... I'm loving it so far! Of course there are times when one of them will get on my nerves (not one specifially, just someone in general...), but it happens, I still love them =)
MFC has been over for a few weeks to now, aww I miss those kids... =( So now I'm still working at Smitty's, and also doing in-Sunday child care at CFOT. Yesterday was my first day, it went fairly well... It's challenging though, there are some kids who just couldn't settle down and listen, they were running around screaming pretty much the whole time lol... A couple of them didn't even come into the classroom, they stayed out in the big room and did their own thing, which was okay cuz they weren't causing any trouble... It's also challenging with the age differences... The youngest is under 2, and the oldest (that was in the classroom) is like 10? lol I don't even know ages, I'm just guessing... But overall it went well, there were no major incidents, nobody got hurt, and I had enough lesson material stuff planned to take up the whole time, it was awesome! =) There's another in-Sunday this coming Sunday, it's the welcome weekend, so I've been prepping a bit for that...
My birthday is also coming up, 11 more days to be exact! Hence the title of this entry haha... I am having a party, it's gonna be right on my birthday (the 25th) at Players Bar and Grill, gonna go play some pool, have a couple drinks, hang out with my friends, and just have a good time! I'm super looking forward to it!!!! You (yes you!) are totally invited to come too! If you are in Winnipeg on that day you are welcome to come! I did make a Facebook event thing, but had to be really quick in sending the invites out, so I may have missed a person or too... So if you didn't get an invite, THIS IS YOUR INVITE!!!!! =D
Hmmm what else? Not too much actually... Well I'm sure there's more but I can't think of anything off the top of my head lol it'll have to wait until my next update I suppose... =P Adios amigos!

"Jesus Calling" 33 Miles
What do you see when you look at your world today
Is it so full of clutter that you feel like you're going insane
And you can't fight back cause you're just too afraid
And it seems like the clouds in your sky don't wanna change
You see there's always another story, another side to every coin
And how you see your circumstance is all about a choice
When you see the rushing wind, feel the pouring rain
Hear the thunder now as the clouds roll in
You're blinded by the lightning
Do you also hear that still, small voice saying
It's okay you're not alone
You may be scared to death but I won't let you go
You may think the sky above is falling
But can you hear Jesus calling
What do you see when you look at your world today
Do you see a glimmer of hope, or has it all turned to gray
Well start by counting your blessings one by one
Oh and I'm sure right there, you'll start to see the sun
You see there's always another story, another side to every coin
And how you see your circumstance is all about a choice
When you see the rushing wind, feel the pouring rain
Hear the thunder now as the clouds roll in
You're blinded by the lightning
Do you also hear that still, small voice saying
It's okay you're not alone
You may be scared to death but I won't let you go
You may think the sky above is falling
But can you hear Jesus calling
Because the darker the night, the brighter He can shine
When you see the rushing wind, feel the pouring rain
Hear the thunder now as the clouds roll in
You're blinded by the lightning
Do you also hear that still, small voice saying
It's okay you're not alone
You may be scared to death but I won't let you go
You may think the sky above is falling
But can you hear Jesus calling
Is it so full of clutter that you feel like you're going insane

another update whilst at the library!
So i'm at the library right now with Christina, so I thought I'd quickly update my blog while here!
Not too much else has been new... Still have mice (though I will be picking up different traps next week...), still at MFC (though this coming week is the last week!!!), still LOVING the house (and Debby's back!)
Okay, so... the house. Still love it!!! And my roomies!!! =D Debby got back safe and sound from her trip to BC, but she is heading out early tomorrow morning for her Alaskan cruise, so she'll be gone another week or so... And Shayani will soon be moving in as well, I'm QUITE excited for that!!! =D
MFC is winding down... The kids have been awesome, I'm gonna miss them so much!!! Though even as I say that, there are some kids who have been having trouble listening, and it's been really frustrating... but I will still miss them! =( Lol yesterday was our last Teen Swim, but the pool was closed (AGAIN!!!) so we had a BBQ at the centre, fun times!!! =D Lol I was supposed to barbecue the hamburgers and hot dogs, but one of the kids (he's 12) kinda took over LOL! He flipped them and everything, all I did was move them to make the diamond grill marks... And he was so proud, it was awesome!!! Lol this is the same kid that we teased for being manly cuz he was able to carry three bags of ice at Teen Swim (oh so long ago when we actually were able to have Teen Swim... thanks a lot rain!) So now he barbecued, and therefore even more of a man, and he was really proud of it, and I was proud of him!
Anyways, we gotta go cuz we still need to stop at IGA for juice (it's on sale!), get home, have supper, and be back at Calvary Temple for 7:30 for the Building 429 concert, I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!! =D until next time! =)
P.S. I will be getting internet at home soon so I will be able to update on a regular basis =)

Another Mouse in my House! =S
Wow I haven't updated in a while, I apologise to my readers!
Anyways, I have now been in my house for over a week, and I am completely loving it!!! =D I LOVE my roommate Christina, she is sooooo awesome!!! We've been spending most evenings together, either chatting, or watching movies or prison break lol... Saturday afternoon we dressed up and went out shopping, it was so fun and we both looked good! ;) but we were both also dying from wearing heels lol...
I bought some movies from walmart, from the $5 bin: Spiderman, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Little Nemo (does anyone remember that one??? The part with the tar always scared the crap outta me as a kid...), aaaaand something else I can't remember right now... Then we bought some stuff from Bulk Barn, then headed home, stopping by her church to pick up some stuff for her art project... Then we headed down to catch the 17 to go to my place, but missed it so we went into Safeway to see the Venus Flytraps they have, THEY ARE SO COOL!!!!!!!! =D then we went to Video 1001 across the street and I picked up Rent and Chicago for $7 each, awesome! =D
She ended up not coming with me to my place, which was okay...
Oh yeah, before I forget! I dyed my hair red again! =D it looks great!!! And I was going to shoppers by my place to get black hair dye for streaks, which also look very cool, Christina helped me put them in! =)
Awww I love Christina so much =) and i'm so glad God has sent me to that house, cuz even Christina said herself said that she wouldn't know what to do with herself after what she's gone through this past week... It's amazing how God's timing works! =)
Oh yes, and we have mice in our house... =( we got some mouse poison, mixed it with peanut butter, and set it out, and we were pretty sure that the mouse was dead, but after being untouched for a few days, the peanut butter disappeard sometime between Saturday night and Sunday night... =S so we're thinking it was the momma mouse that ate it first, then when she didn't bring her baby food, it came to find some and ended up finding the poison, so we think it's dead too...
Other than the mouse, the house is so perfect!!! =D i'm quite excited for Debby to get home, she should be arriving sometime next week! Only for a couple days til she leaves again on an Alaskan cruise, so cool! =) she'll be back for September though, and Shayani will be moved in too for September, so i'm quite excited to see what God has planned for the four of us!!! =D
As for MFC, things are going well! I'm pretty sad that with this week there's only two weeks left of kids club, and only a week left after that! =( but the kids have been amazing for the most part, i'm really gonna miss them! =( as well as seeing the staff everyday, they're so awesome!
And i'm still working at Smitty's, Sundays @ 3, Mondays @ 5, Thursdays @ 4... And i'm heading there now actually so I will perhaps blog some more later... Ciao! =)
