Where's the nearest desert?

My last set of swimming lessons was cancelled due to a lack of demand so they transferred me to the new set due to start at the beginning of November. I called today to check that they still had me on the list and I was told that there were only 2 of us signed up and they need at least 4 so this set might be cancelled as well. I may have to move out to the Prairies (can I come live with you Jen?) i don't imagine there is much water out there.

I Got The Job

I just got a call from the library offering me the position I wanted as Assistant Community Librarian for Summerland. I'm so happy as I was a little worreid at the prospect of being unemployed. My new job will only be part-time but it's what a really want to do so it's fantastic.

Blog Back Up And Running

My blog has been blocked for over two weeks now as blogger tries to determine if I am a spammer or not. They must have realised that I don't post enough to bother anyone let alone be a spammer so today they lifted the block. I promise I'll start posting more often - it'll be easier now that I'm going to be unemployed!

WalMart Bound

So I was supposed to go shopping on Wednesday evening, the new store in town The Suburban Princess had a special evening preview of their holiday clothes. I went but so it seemed did everyone else in Summerland and I wasn't in the mood to fight threw a bunch of feral bargain hunters just to buy one pair of black pants. So to satisfy my spending urges Craig is going to pick me up from work and take me to WalMart, yes I'm one of those people who likes that store. I'm only getting storage stuff and some new bedding to use temporarily but hey it's still retail therapy.

Fall is My Favourite

The sun is shining, Craig is working here in Summerland, I'm going shopping in a few hours and I just had a really nice lunch. All is well in the world, apart from the stupid cold that I have. Plus it's approximately 243 days till my sister comes to visit Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

House Update


Our building permits are submitted so we're just weeks away from breaking ground. It seems like it's taken forever but I'm sure that once work starts it'll be to lock up before we know it. This picture is the design we're roughly basing our house on it's L shaped so that we can maximise the space we have available on the lot. Sadly Luke can no longer build our house as he's too busy so Craig is going to take a few months off work and build it himself with the help of Dustin. I'm not sure how well that is going to work as when those two get together it's usually mayhem and they instantly become 4 year old boys. I have no doubt that some days I'll come home from work to find them in the trailer playing on the Xbox or watching a movie but hopefully they'll manage to get most of the building done by Christmas. It'll be strange not having Craig go to work and me being the sole breadwinner I wonder if I can take advantag of that and get my way more often? Probably not. Anyway I'm sure the next few months are going to be extremely stressful and busy but I'm looking forward to the housewarming party!

Tuesday Afternoon Blues

Enough said (see last post)

The only bright spot in my day so far was Amanda and Tianna coming to visit.

Sigh

Friday Afternoon Blues

Why is Friday so long? Why have Nisha and I spent most of the morning reading the paper or surfing the internet because we have nothing else to do? Why am I blogging at work? The answer is BECAUSE OUR JOB SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a lighter note my Mum is back from holiday this weekend I've missed talking to her these past two weeks, although it's been good to hear more from my big sis instead.
I'm so bored I can't even think of anything to blog about aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (that was me screaming in silent frustration by the way)

"Meeting Myself Coming Backwards"

To quote my mother. I seem to be so busy lately, I come home from work cook dinner, clean up, help with the babies (usually getting puked on at least two or three times) make Craig's lunch for the next day and crawl into bed at about 9.30 ready for it all to start the next day. I am so looking forward to my holiday and spending time with friends (I vaguely remember what that's like) luckily it's not too long until Grey's Anatomy starts so I'll have at least one night a week to call my own (woe betide anyone who interrupts my McDreamy time!)

Orlando here we come

For those of you who don't know we're going to Florida next month for a week. Seriously I need a break I am so tired I just want to go away and relax (not that Disney World and Universal Studios are relaxing). I can't wait I'm especially looking forward to the all night halloween party we're going to it'll be fun. Maybe next year we'll complete our tour of Disney theme parks and go to the one in Singapore - then again maybe not

Another Year and It Still Hasn't Worn Off!!!!

Well Craig and I made it to our 4th wedding anniversary, although we've been together way longer than that. Everybody always said that Craig and I were way too much in love and that the "Honeymoon Effect" would wear off after a few months. I hoped it wouldn't but I obviously expected our relationship to change and develop, which it did. Four years later and I'm still waiting for that feeling to wear off like everyone said, I still get butterflies when I know I'm going to see Craig soon, I miss him when he's out of the room, I get up in what feels like the middle of the night just to spend time with hime before he goes to work. I truly hope that in another 40 years I still feel this way, I want to keep the "Honeymoon Effect" going forever.



Happy Anniversary Sweetheart I love you!!!!!!!

Longest Day Ever!

So this morning I arrived at work at 6.25am, yes that is correct! After a brief stop in Penticton we went to Keremeos for a two hour meeting and then came back to Summerland to open up the centre. It's now lunchtime and I've already been at work 6 hours!!!!!! Tonight is Nathan's birthday party which I'm sure will be fun although I may fall asleep before the kids do

At Play

Peaceful

The only way I can get photos of Craig is when he's asleep Posted by Picasa

Diary of A Madwoman




What does a girl do in a trailer with a new camera and no TV? Take random photos of herself in various unflattering poses, I probably should have brushed my hair first but oh well.

Our Soon To Be New Home

This will be the view to the left of the house
And the view to the right

And Giants Head Mountain to the front
That is Craig walking along the back of our lot
And again standing in the middle of the back of our lot
And there he is at the far corner of the back of the lot.

Bob















Bob is the runt and I've yet to take a good picture of him because he's kinda ugly but that just makes me love him more.

Shadrach



Definately Craig's cat he's big and can bully his brother and sister but he's a softie at heart.

Meshach
















Quite possibly the cutest little girl (cat) in the world, she loves curling up on Craig's chest and going to sleep but I wasn't allowed to post those pictures because Craig is in them.

Twins On The Brain

I think I'm spending too much time around babies and it's affecting me. Last week I woke up almost crying I was that upset about my dream. What was my dream? I had the most vivd dream that I found out I was pregnant with TWINS!!!!!!!!! Craig was of course delighted, I was distraught and that was how I woke up. Then last night it happened again, only this time the babies were born and we were looking after them, which again Craig loved (the weird part was that they weren't Craig's but Superman's babies, I know it's weird but I was dreaming) My subconscious is obviously trying to tell me something, hopefull it isn't that I'm pregnant and definately not with twins, here's hoping for a period soon.
