One week from today I'll be back in Winnipeg. No more nine hour work days and getting up at 6.... tear. The last two months have gone by ridiculously quickly.

Saskatchewan = Fun!! 
I am currently in the great province I fondly refer to as 'The Gap' for some rockin' Regina area partying. Its pretty nice to have a bit of a break from work to visit a province that's almost exactly the same as the one I already live in but less good (I kid, I kid). Even though I quite enjoy being a camp counselor and using my ( Read more... )

I love weddings! One of my camp co-workers got married this weekend and I went and it rocked. I'm normally not really the romantic liking kind of person but its so touching to see two people so in love. Plus it was wickedly fun to get drunk with work people and dance to the YMCA because we work at the YMCA. Oh man, I would add more, like a picture ( Read more... )

Children are so incredibly exhausting. My throat hurts from raising my voice so often, this is the first time in my whole life I've actually felt like  voice is too soft. Two more days until the weekend! And then I get to do it all over again with a new set of kids and a new co-counselor ( Read more... )

Today I learnt that even camp counselors are not immune to heat exhaustion. I honestly didn't think I'd have a problem with the heat because during all my time in South Africa I was fine but apparently the Albertan sun got to me. I don't feel too bad though because my co-counselor was feeling pretty sick by the end of the day too. It might also ( Read more... )

I am officially a commuter now, I actually care about traffic reports and alter my route when I hear of accidents on the freeway I use! Today was my very first day working at my new job all the way in the north east part of the city. It is absolute craziness that I drive that far, I'm a west ender!! west enders don't leave the west end, unless they ( Read more... )

Its finally happened... after three years of perfect health I have come down with strep throat. I guess if you're going to be sick it might as well be when you get to sleep in your own bed and there are medical professionals on hand to get you medicine. It would have been nice if I didn't have to work while sick but I guess whatever doesn't kill ( Read more... )

Does anyone else want to go down to California and stab Paris Hilton in the face?? I'm very tired of hearing and reading about her all the time... like there's nothing else going on in the world. But maybe its my own fault for participating in the media too much...

I have just finished a very exhausting week, so tiring that on Saturday I was over two hours late for a shift that started at three! I ended up not really coming up with any great ideas for activities so it was basically a week of me doing what I would normally do with Nic there which made it ten times more enjoyable. The weather was great so we ( Read more... )

I have a watch tan!! I'm just blown away by how nice the weather has been here, unfortunately I spend huge chunks of time driving and working. I'm not working tomorrow (or guess its today now) so hopefully I'll be able to enjoy the 29 degree high tomorrow... but I will definitely be having a good day either way because Nic is coming tomorrow ( Read more... )
