Camping, Yah!

As promised here are some pictures of our camping trip this weekend.

Here's Jesse setting up camp

Now Jesse is resting in our awesome hammock...which after this I ended up spending the whole weekend in reading my book

This is our new big tent with the screen room off of the front

This is the results of our feeble attempt at Jiffy Pop over the fire

But Jesse's eating it anyway :)

Here I am in one of the few moments I spent standing up and not laying in the hammock

There are more pictures which you can see on my facebook page/site/whatever it's called. But you have to sign up for facebook first. (hint hint everyone who's not on it).

It was a short trip but fun and relaxing. We're going to Cypress on August Long Weekend if anyone wants to come, it'll be bigger better and lots more fun! I can't wait!

Well it's been about a week since my last blog and that's more than I can say for most of you out there. Come on people! Ken and Kathy have blogged the most and they were on vacation for like 2 weeks!

Life here is good. Jesse's birthday went well. At the last minute I decided to take the afternoon off and we hung out and went to see Shrek 3 (which was pretty good but not great). We also went and did some shopping with his birthday money and bought a bunch of new camping stuff which has sparked the need to go camping this weekend so off we go tomorrow after work. We got a bunch of great stuff like a 2-person sleeping bag which is HUGE and an air mattress (finally) and a new tent which is really awesome with a screen room attached and enough space to house our new air mattress and huge sleeping bag. I promise to take some pictures and blog them after I get back.

We're also planning a (hopefully) big camping trip for August long weekend at Cypress Hills if anyone wants to come. We want to get a big group and make if fun. Though probably it will only end up being us and J and Ethan.

Other than that Jesse and I also have our French midterm this weekend. It's online and we can write it anytime from Friday morning until Sunday night. Since we're going away I can't decide if I want to write it Friday during my lunch break or on Sunday after we get home. I'll probably write it Friday so that I don't have to worry about it all weekend.

Other than that not much is new in the immediate future. Look back next week for camping pictures.

Not Much To Say

It's been a couple of weeks since my last so I thought I would pound something out while I had a few spare minutes at work. Nothing here is too terribly exciting. Jesse and I went to Melville last weekend for mother's day. We had a nice time just hanging out around the fire pit and sitting inside watching movies. We also planted the new rose bushes we bought her and did a little garage sale-ing with my brother. My mom even dragged me to curves with her at like 8 am on Saturday morning. It was kinda fun though.

Other than that it's Jesse's birthday tomorrow. I already bought him his present so that's not too exciting. We'll probably go to Denny's for supper and that's about it.

Work is going good. By job is kinda boring but I like the people and the atmosphere. I got my first paycheck on Tuesday and I have to say that it was NICE! Mayber I really can justify all the new clothes and shoes I bought for this job :)

Well that's all I really have to say - not that I said much. I guess I'm just not in a bloggin mood. Maybe I'll have more to come soon.

Why Do I Always Have To Have A Title?

Wow! More than a month since my last blog. You think that being unemployed would give you more time to do things like this but it never really works that way. Now that I'm back at work maybe I'll find more time again. Weird eh?

So yes, I am back at work. I got a job at the Cornwall Centre (for those of you who know regina) and their new Parking Coordinator. It's a brand new position that they've just created. I basically make sure that people are parking where their supposed to and I sign up new monthly parkers and I count parking money. It's all about the parking, really. I started about two weeks ago and so far it's going okay. The pay is decent and the benefits are good. So I'm not complaining.

Other than that my summer plans are to take a class or two (right now I'm signed up for French and English, hahaha)but I may not take them because French is a kinda of stupidly set up online class where you actually have to attend online class! Every Tuesday for two hours be have to hook our mics up to our computers and talk French to each other. How lame is that! My English class actually sound really interesting but I'm not super thrilled at the idea of 3 hour classes two nights a week plus homework while I work full time. I also thinking of switching school. I recently discovered the wonder of Athabasca University and it's online 3-year bachelor degrees. Has anyone heard anything either good or bad about them? Do employers consider these online degrees "real" degrees? I need your opinions everyone.

Back on topic... I also plan to go camping this summer and hopefully take another trip to Minot with my Mom. WE had a blast last year. It's nice to just get away and going to another country makes it more like real vacation. Maybe we'll go July long weekend since it's not a long weekend for them. At least I don't think it is because their 4th of July falls on a Wednesday this year.

Well I should go and maybe actually get some work done now. Seeing as I actually do have work to do. So sorry Ken I can't go to Candy Mountain with you...you go by yourself and let me know how it turns out :)
