I've really slacked off, haven't I?!Life's been busy, what can I say? ;-)It's obviously not news anymore, since I'm pretty sure that anyone who reads my blog is also one of my Facebook friends, but Josh and I got married in March. :-DFor a long time, the plan had been for me to eventually move to Arizona. Last fall, for a number of reasons, we starting thinking about Josh coming here instead. Not

I'm heading to Arizona for a week -- Josh's sister's wedding is on October 18th, and while I hadn't previously planned to go, we were discussing it a few nights ago and, after checking out some flights, decided that I should go for it. ;-) (Flying out on the 17th, returning on the 24th)Now I just have to find something wear. Ugh. I hate shopping for dressy clothes. Ick.Aside from the shopping...

Chantelle has booked her flight home from NZ. I think it is with very mixed feelings, but the time has finally come. She is flying into Winnipeg so that she can visit with her best friend Megan for a few days, and then she flies to Saskatoon on November 1. Yay! :-D

Yup... put the for sale sign up on Saturday, sold it today. Accepted less than what we were asking, but still within the limit I was willing to accept. I'm relieved, and will be glad when it's all finished. By the end of the month.Still... a bit of sadness today... lived in that house for almost 19 years.

I took last week off work -- I still had some vacation time to use up -- and finished up the packing. Ugh... not fun. My dad came down on Friday morning and we moved boxes over to the apartment. Rob was working nights and therefore sleeping, but he got up around 2:00, Vanessa came down as well, and we moved all the rest of the stuff over. It turned out to be one of the hottest days in weeks, and

I've been really worried about not finding a place to rent if/when it sells, since there's been -- quite literally -- nothing available in town recently. An apartment came open earlier this month, but was taken right away. I found out that there were a couple coming open at the end of the month, so

I have a stack of books out from the library... as usual. Some are nonfiction and I read them in bits and pieces. A lot of them are children, juvenile and young adult books that I've been reading for my class -- which is almost done. A few are adult fiction that I've been trying to find time for... without too much success. :-PBetween the class I'm taking and searching for new YA books to buy

You know, those days after Maria's death weighed heavy on me. I was so sad, and cried many times -- every time I read an article or blog or watched a video or listened to certain songs. It truly is amazing how much a person can hurt for people who are "strangers"... but feel, in some way, like family. I know that many of you understand... I continue to keep the Chapmans, and especially dear Will

My heart breaks for the Chapman family, who lost their youngest daughter, 5 year old Maria, today. She was struck by a car driven by her brother, in the family's driveway, and died at the hospital. So incredibly sad... *cries*.

It seems like I don't get here much anymore. Mostly laziness, I must admit. ;-)It's been a busy week, work seems to be nuts lately. I used to be able to count on Thursdays being quiet and a time to get caught up on stuff, but not since we've moved to the new place. Now it's rare to have a really quiet day. Which is good on the one hand, but I did appreciate those days. Yesterday was insanely busy

... Deathly Hallows is so good. I'm trying not to read it too quickly, but once I get into it... well, last night I read till 2:15 if that tells you anything... lol.The next couple of days are busy, but I might be done it by then anyway. ;-)

I'm impressed... I pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Amazon.ca. Being in a rural area, I didn't get guaranteed Saturday delivery, but it did arrive on Monday. Very cool. I wasn't expecting it so soon, so that was a very nice surprise. :-)Now I'm wishing I could be at home reading... lol. I'm going to be sad when I reach the end -- I've been reading these books for years now,

I went to Saskatoon on Monday. I did a bit of shopping, but the real reason I went was to see "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". I went without any expectations this time. I saw "Goblet of Fire" with Josh last year, and while I enjoyed it, I was also disappointed. They left out so much, and because of that it didn't seem to "flow". It was my least favorite to date.I must say, I loved "

Ahhh, nice weather. It's supposed to be quite hot for the next week, but I'm not going to complain. ;-)Work at the library is bang-your-head-against-the-wall slow. We have GOT to get this moving. I'm beyond frustrated with it.My brother and sister-in-law are coming out from Vancouver this weekend. They'll be at my aunt & uncle's in Moose Jaw, and there's a family barbecue on Sunday.

He was in S'toon over the weekend, and they came down today and took me out for lunch, then they were heading to the lake for the day. She's very nice, easy to chat with, they seem to be very good together. :-)On an unrelated

He's living with a friend for now, so he just took his clothes, etc. I was doing fine, until he drove away... *sigh* Still a little sad today.

Has it been that long?! Wow....Well, my computer died yesterday. I might be able to revive it... Josh thinks it might not be the hard drive (although that has been failing), but the operating system. We'll see if I can get it going again. In the meantime, I'm thankful that Robbie recently bought a computer, because at least I can use his some. Not the same, but better than nothing! Josh has been

So, I got my transcript today. The grade is just "Pass", nothing more. I wish I'd gotten an actual grade/mark, so that I'd know how well I did rather than just that I passed. Oh well, I guess I'll have to settle for that. :-PIt's cold, cloudy and kind of drizzly today (is that a word?). Not nice, especially since the RCMP Musical Ride is performing in town tonight. Hopefully the rain holds off,

Those poor girls in their gowns were freezing.It was a time of mixed feelings for me, a weekend of reflection and varied emotions.I didn't see Sheldon alot over the weekend, he spent much of it with his dad. We had pictures on Saturday afternoon, and later in the day the grad banquet and the ceremony. It

Yup, passed the exam. Which I honestly never questioned... lol. I want to know what my grade is though! As of 11:00 this morning, there was still nothing listed on my student account, so I sent an email to inquire about it, since it's been over a week since I wrote the exam. I got an email a little while later saying that the instructor had submitted a pass for me on May 11th, and it should be

No grade for my exam yet... hopefully soon.My (ex)mother-in-law fell today -- simply tripped on the curb and went down -- and she broke her shoulder very badly. Sounds like possibly shoulder replacement surgery. She will not likely make it to Sheldon's graduation this weekend. I know she'll be disappointed. She just celebrated her 75th birthday, and has otherwise been in reasonable health. She

I would be completely lost without a computer, I really would. (Sad, isn't it?) But some days computers drive me nuts.I'm having issues with my network at the library. First one public computer not connecting to the Internet, then today a second one, and none of them connecting to the printers. Ack!

I love this song by Bebo Norman. I first heard it on Sylvia's myspace a few months ago. It was also posted on the SCCFANS board recently. It's one of those songs that really touches me, and I can listen to it over and over again. (I've always loved Jason Ingram's songs, so the combination of the two artists is wonderful.) If you haven't heard it yet, you can listen at Bebo's MySpace page: http:/

It's a sad day for the boys, especially the grade 12 players because this was their last high school basketball game... They played a really good game, but weren't able to win the final today. They tried their best, and have reason to be proud. Right now, though, they're sad and disappointed... :-(

The boys won conferences last weekend, and they are hosting regional playoffs in town this weekend. They are so excited! If they win this weekend -- which there is a very good chance of -- they would go to Hoopla, which is the provincial playoffs, next weekend. The only bad thing about that is that I'm not going to be here... *very sad*. When I booked my vacation, I didn't realize that Hoopla was

The boys won all their games, and won the tournament. I'm proud of them. They not only played well, but they demonstrated great sportsmanship, as did their coach.One of the other teams had a terrible coach. All he did was yell at his boys constantly, he never seemed to have a word of encouragment, and he harrassed the refs to the point where he got called with two technical fouls. Two technicals

Sheldon's last home basketball tournament is this weekend. They've been having a good year, and really enjoying themselves. The past couple of years weren't so great (issues with the coach), but they're having a blast this year. The home tournament is the highlight of the year. Should be fun. :-)There is a school break next week, and the grade 11's and 12's are going skiing in Fernie, B.C. again.

I talked to HQ this morning. I can challenge this prerequisite course at a cost of $50 -- much better than $500.00! I get the textbook, and can write an online exam within one month. If I was to fail, I would have to wait and take it at another time, but I know this stuff, so with the textbook and some brushing up on a few things, I'm not worried.

I'm waiting to find out more about it, the process and the cost. Unfortunately the person I need to talk to isn't in the office until Monday. And I have to make a decision Monday morning.

Now, as most of you know, I work in a very small public library (town pop. 1,100). I don't have any "formal" training, it was all done on the job.

We had high winds when I went to work at noon, by 2:00 it was snowing, and by 3:00 it was really bad.

I hope you all had a great day, however you spent it. :-)December has been kind of a blah month for me -- up and down and all over the place. My Christmas Eve was very quiet.

That's okay, I just wish I would have remembered it before so I would have it for this season. His talent is so amazing....I wrapped most of the Christmas presents today (not that there were alot). I need to do the ones for the boys yet, but that

I was feeling kind of lonely the past couple of days. It's something that comes and goes. Been missing Josh... been missing my girl... Christmas seems to make things worse.Chantelle is talking of moving to Toronto when she gets back from Australia. *sigh* That's even farther away than Calgary. Sheldon is excited for graduation and talks about moving out. Which is a good thing, but tough for me

No, not me... :-PBut maybe the library. We are in an old building that has served many different purposes long before it was ever the library. It's okay, but needs work, and my biggest issue is that we've had flooding and water leaks in the past, and I am afraid of what is growing underneath the carpet!!! Seriously! We had a leak in the bathroom earlier this year, and water seeped outside the

Have you started shopping yet?!Not.But at least I'm starting to think about it... lol. I'm going to see if I can do quite a bit of my shopping online this year. I did a few things last year, and it was wonderful! Even if I could do half of it that way it would be great.

Today is a laundry/dishes/housework kind of day... I need to get caught up.I'll be out of town the next two days, for a librarian workshop. They are sometimes kind of boring, but on the other hand it's a nice change from work, seeing other people, hotel room and meals all paid for... plus my regular pay for both days. So I really can't complain. :-P I hope to get a short visit in with my aunt

It's her birthday tomorrow... but since it's already tomorrow in Australia, it's her birthday today. ;-) I scanned her birthday card and emailed it to her. It was the easiest, since she's moving around and doesn't have a fixed address to receive snail mail (except at the SWAP Australia office in Sydney, but since she's not there and won't be back for awhile.....). I'll give her a call a little

She emailed a few pictures the other night... very cool. Surfer girl... lol. There is a great one of her surfing, and a group one from the last night of surf camp. Also a few others, including a nice shot of the beach at Surfer's Paradise and a beautiful sunset. (I'm not posting them here, though. Just telling ya 'bout them! :-P )I'm so jealous -- she's hanging on the beach, and we've got cold

Too soon, too soon...It's nice and sunny today, but cold. *Brrrrrrr* I really hope that the snow holds off until at least November.

Blah... have had a bad cold this week. At times I don't feel too bad, but today I'm really tired again, and coughing. At least the headache, sore ears and sore throat are gone. It's a slow day at work -- which on the one hand is okay, because I don't have the energy to do much. But on the other hand, without much to do, I get dopey and just want to curl up and have a nap... lol. I've had a

(Those of you on the Ship will have read this already...)As previously posted, I got my nose pierced a few weeks ago, right nostril. Well, sometime during the night, I somehow managed to catch my fingernail on the little stone on the end of the nostril screw, and totally ripped it off! Not pulling out the nostril screw, but yanking off the stone! Weird, I tell ya..... I thought I'd dreamt it, but

Chantelle leaves in just a few hours -- first to L.A., then Singapore, and then to Australia. I'm excited for her, but a little nervous, too. I'm certain she is going to have an amazing experience, but still, you know.....I miss her already...I talked to her last night. It still hasn't really sunk in for her that she is actually leaving. Jerry is flying to L.A. with her (and then going to visit

We had great summer weather -- some would say it was too hot, but I thought it was great. I think it's the nicest summer we've had in a long time. Today when I went outside, though, it was a little cooler -- crispier (but not cold), and had that "fall" kind of smell. The leaves are only just starting to turn color, but the little apples are falling off my tree like crazy... if you're outside you

Chantelle will get home tomorrow morning, and will be here until Tuesday. She flies back to Calgary Tuesday night, and then just a couple of weeks later she leaves for Australia. Yikes, it has come so quickly! She is super excited. :-) I work tomorrow, but took Tuesday off so that I could have a bit more time with her.School started for Sheldon yesterday -- his last year.

I've been thinking about this for about a year, I finally decided to go for it. Cute little stone in the right nostril. :)(Kathy, I chuckled when I read your 360° post about not liking nose piercings... lol.)There's another ear piercing (a rook) that I also considered. Maybe another time. ;)

Yeah, I'm a little slow at getting to this, I know.... lol.I had such a great time in Arizona. Josh and I had SO much fun! I even survived the heat! :P Well, the day we went to the zoo was kind of tough -- and after three hours in temps around 110-112°F, I finally had to call it quits... I was suffering. But the rest of the time I did okay.It was great to have the two weeks, because it gave us a

The doctor said her body is slowly shutting down.... :( I am (selfishly) hoping that she won't pass away while I'm in Arizona, but what will be will be. I also hope, though, that things won't drag out for her.On another note, there are some

I'm not current on Christian music anymore (not like I used to be!) -- but I got an email from downhere recently about their new album, so I went to their site to check it out. I really, really like the song "A Better Way". It's as much the music (love the piano) as it is the lyrics, really. My favorite downhere songs have always been that way. (Nothing tops "Calmer of the Storm", though. ;) )If

I went shopping in "the city" yesterday, mostly for birthday presents (Robbie and my nephew), although I got a few things for me, too.... lol. The boys and I bought an early birthday/Christmas gift for Chantelle -- because she won't be here for either, and this way she can take it to Australia with her. We got her a digital camera and a 2 GB memory card. It's a nice little camera, I think she

Sheldon is feeling much, much better. In fact, I am quite amazed at how well he's doing.For three days last week, he slept pretty much 24/7... could barely stay awake for even 5 minutes, couldn't eat because of the swollen, sore throat. The glands in his neck were hugely swollen, and his spleen was enlarged. On John's recommendation, I got some olive leaf extract. He started taking it on

Sheldon hasn't been feeling well lately -- sore muscles, headache, bit of a sore throat and cough. We thought he had the same flu that I had, but over the weekend he started feeling really rough. He was terribly fatigued despite getting lots of sleep, headache got really bad, his throat got worse, and then the glands in his neck started swelling. Ugh.Went to the doctor today, and he has mono.

I went to see Lana on Sunday evening. They are doing okay... as well as can be expected. The funeral will be on Saturday, back "home" for them (they aren't originally from here).My brother will be flying out to see my grandma this weekend. He'll only be in MJ for a couple of days, so won't be coming here. I might go down on Saturday to see him, but it will depend if this stupid cough goes away.

Grammie is back in the hospital. She was very sick to her stomach and in a great deal of pain again. She's not been keeping her meds straight at all, and because of the pain and nausea she wasn't eating, either. Once they got her into the hospital and got her meds straight again, she's feeling better and is eating again. She's still a bit confused -- and my aunt says she keeps asking where I am,
