Be Aware of the Basball!

Hello all, I am back from the dead! Just kidding. Well Today is Thursday and I can't wait till the weekend because I don't have to work. This dose not happen very often these days. I have been doing fifteen hour days lately. I don't recommend this for any one.

Well today was a little different for my agency had a baseball game for all the individuals and staff. We do this every day but this year was a little bit crazy. We managed to have three people get hurt. All three people recovered quite well. I wish they would make a softball that was soft on the inside so that it wouldn't hurt so bad when you got hit by it. By the way I was one of the people that got hit by the ball. I took it like a man!!! That's what you get for being the pitcher. I loved it, it was a lot of fun!

Well the Olympics are quite wonderful. I have especially loved the gymnastics. The Chinese women and men are just outstanding this year. I have always loved the American gymnasts ever since I was a little girl. This year however they just didn't compare to the power and consistency of the Chinese. We Canadians have yet to win a medal. Never less the Olympics are just wonderful. China did a wonderful job with all of there facilities. The are all incredible! Especially for the rafting wow Its very beautiful!

The weekend is almost upon me and I don't know what will be doing. I guess I will just wait for what surprises will come my way.

Love you ALL!

There is nothing better then Summer!

Well we are all ready into August and I can't believe it. I don't like to think of August being over because it means that summer is almost over. I love summer! There is nothing better then the hot sun and various activities that make me so happy. I can't lie tennis is on the top of the list!

Another thing that has got me so excited is the upcoming Olympics. The opening ceremonies starts in a few days and I can't wait. I love both the summer and winter Olympics and there is not one sport that I don't like to watch. I think our country has great athletes. There is nothing better then watching countries from all over the world compete against each other.

This long weekend was very enjoyable. I didn't do to many things but hang out with family and watch a lot of movies. It is always hard after a long weekend to go back to work. Today felt like it should already be Friday. That is not a good start to my week.

Other then that there is not much new with me! Same old things! My thoughts and Prayers are with my sister in Law and her family.

So Long for now!

I can never get enough of Boccie Ball!

I know I haven't written in a long time, but I have some good reasons for that. I don't have very good excuses. One reason is that I have been working a lot of 14 to 15 hour days, and when I get home I don't feel like doing to much of anything. Tonight I happened to have the night off which doesn't come by very often these days. Another reason that I don't' write very often is because I feel like I don't have much to say. That's not a very good excuse because every time I decide to write the words just seem to come out. So I don't know whats going to come out but here it goes!

This weekend was a family weekend which in my opinion was not long enough. All but one brother came to lethbridge for the weekend. The two filled days went by so fast that it didn't even seem like they actually happened. There were many games of boccie ball, which I did pretty good at I might add. Lots of food, which you can never go wrong with and memories that will last forever. There was even a crying moment which is odd for my family, because we are not a crying family. None the less It was a great weekend had by all.

Today was defiantly a Monday when I woke up with a headache. I then showed up to work to find out that four people called in sick. This means that all the staff would have more then on client with them for that day. Nothing out of the ordinary happened for that day, I was just yawning a lot and having a hard time staying focused on what was going on. Near the end off the work day I took my clients to get a Slurpee which gave me this crazy sugar rush. I think I scared my co-workers. Before I new it the sugar rush had worn off and I was back to being tired again. The day ended off really nicely with a walk a round the lake with my roommate and an ice cream cone.

Well that's it for today! I promise to grace you all with my presence more often.

P.S. Tennis is the best sport ever!

Happier then ever!!!

Well its the middle of the week and I am happier then ever. I don't know if its the fact that Wednesday means that its closer to the weekend or if its because I am in love with the weather and can't wait till it gets hotter. Either way I am glad that something is making me smile!

Its official, I have bought a sleeping bag. I have decided that I am going camping this weekend. I don't know yet if it will be in an actual campground or just in someones back yard. I am very excited for I haven't been camping in a long time. I don't even remember what to take. I am sure that it will all come back to me once I go. If I don't return to work on Monday don't worry I have only perished. Just kidding!

Work was really good today. All of my clients were in a good mood and very willing to do things. I think that they are very happy with the sun as well. At the end on the day one of my co workers and I were talking about his wife that is pregnant. We were trying to guess when she was going to have her baby. I then said to him that we should do a baby pool. So I went and got all of my co workers involved and the pool is just over twenty dollars. For a dollar for each day you pick, I think thats a pretty good deal. She is due on the 21st but I picked the the 24Th of June. Go Mary!!!

Well I have the night off and there is a lot of things that I could be doing but I just don't have any energy. I am very happy just to sit at home and relax. Its a nice brake from my crazy life where I don't usually get to spend much time at home.
Well that's it from me for now. I hope you all are having a wonderful day like I am!
P.S. Tennis Rocks!

Better late then never!

I haven't forgot that I have a blog, I just put it on hold for a while. Its like a book that you started reading but put away, and just now had time to start reading again.

I am now living in a new place with a new roommate. This was a huge change for me as I am living on a different part of the city.I went from living with people below me who listen to really loud music and a cat that liked to scare me and the smell of smoke to a little girl who cries a lot and a few little critters. I think I get the better deal. It is really fun having only one roommate and being able to understand each other really well.

I am in a new young adult ward which is a Major change for me. It is really hard for me to get to know people. There have been a lot of people who have come up to me and said hi which has been really nice. It has been really nice not having a calling. As I listened to a Sunday school teacher struggle on Sunday it made me glad that I had to not do that calling anymore. I learned a lot from that calling which I will always remember.

Well I haven't had to work to many nights lately which has been a nice brake. It has also been nice to have the last three weekends off which doesn't happen very often. The people on the west side that I work for just got a hot tub which I can use at any time which will be so nice.

The weekend went by really fast as it all ways dose. I however got caught on some much needed sleep. I got to hang out with my family which is always a good thing. Yesterday I got to catch up with some old friends. So even though i didn't do anything to spectacular I was able to do some memorable things that will stay with me.
So that was a little update on me and don't worry this is not the last that you will hear from me.

P.S. Tennis Rocks!

Not to busy to play sports!

Well I have been so busy lately that I have barley had time to think. The days have been packed with work and not much of anything else. Some how I have been able to squeeze in some time doing some fun things.

Last weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. Friday night I got to play tennis with a friend. Best game ever! I was really rough because I had not played since last summer, but it felt really good to get out there and play. The next day I was sore all over so I must have done something right. We also watched a really old and crazy movie which I can't remember the name of. Never count on me to remember things.

Saturday night I was able to go have some really good food at Osho's which is a restaurant that is famous for their sushi. I got brave and tried a little bit of sushi which was not to bad but I don't know how much I would be able to eat at one time. After eating my friends and I headed over to the bowling alley. I had not bowled in quite a long time. The price had gone up but the bowling was just as fun as I remembered it. There is nothing better then looking funny in those shoes that they make you wear.

Sunday night I attended a wonderful picnic which had the most delicious potato salad. If people only knew how good it was they would come from miles away just to have some. When we were done eating we played the longest and the best game called bocce ball. We played till it was to dark to play any more. I could play it for hours and never get sick of it. Call me crazy!

This week has been crazy busy with working ten hour days. I can't believe I am still able to function. I have been doing a lot of paper work for my clients which never seems to stop. Sometimes it seems like the world dose not want you to ever catch up. To the world I say, I will win!

Last night I was able to go play volleyball. The funniest thing happened to me. I had recently bought a new pair of pants. They of course were to long and I had not had a chance to get them hemmed yet. Well they kept getting in the way and I eventually slipped and fell because of them. So I decided to stick them in my socks. I have to admit that this was one of the funniest things I have ever done. The good thing is that it distracted the other team from playing good.

The weekend has arrived and I am looking forward to fun and exciting things that come my way!

P.S. There is nothing better then tennis!

To leave without feeling guilty!

Well there is not much new in my life so I have not written in a long time. I feel like I get up every day and do the same old thing. This week how ever I have not had to work my second job every night. This has made me very happy to feel like I can do what ever I feel like instead of spending the night at work. I have been really good by making my self dinner every night so far. This is not always the case depending on what time I start work at, for it dose not always leave time to eat before work.
Last night I was able to go see my brother and his family. I have not seen them in a really long time and it was good to be able to see that they were still alive. I played with each one of my nephews and have now remembered what such simple things will amuse them. My Nephews have every toy that you can imagine and we spent most of our time playing with cushions from the couch and making them into a slide and forts and things. I was also able to watch the Oilers game with my brother. They did not win and so they will probably not make the playoffs. Yes I am a huge spots fan and I will not hide the fact that this is my favorite thing to spend my time on. Sports Rule!!!I was very glad to be able to go home at the end of the night and not have to deal with these very hipper boys who were not in bed yet at 9:30pm. I keep telling my self what kind of mother I will be after what other parents remind me what I don't want to do with my children. It will probably surprise me when I do actually get children and how it might not be as easy as I think.
Speaking of children my sister in law that lives in Grand Prairie phoned me last night and told me that she is pregnant. I still don't know if this was a prank or if it is real. When she got engaged they tried to hide it from everyone until after a couple of weeks after they were engaged. When she had bought a dog and did not want to tell any one till after they had it in there house for a month. We will just have to wait and see in a couple of months when she says that she is due. I hope when she shows us pictures of there child that it is really theirs and not some random picture.
This week I told my roommates that I will be moving out. I have toiled about this idea for two months now and have finally decided that it is time for a change. I hate change so we will see how this goes. I will miss my roommates dearly they have been a huge part in my life that will never be re paced.
As change is happening in my life I encourage everyone out there to bring something into there lives. You will be surprised as to what it will bring you!

P.S. Tennis Rocks!!!
