Today had the potential to be a difficult day, but so far so good. ;-)

Thanks for the chat this morning, Carmel. :-) Thanks for the email this afternoon, Joyce. :-)

I even got rid of the noisy cricket that was driving me crazy this morning with his chirping.... lol. Actually, once I located the lil guy, a patron who was in the library goes "Do you want me to get rid of that for you?" Sure! So the lil guy has a new home in the grass outside. Oh great... he's likely to be back! LOL! She thinks that there is a Chinese or Korean superstition regarding crickets so she didn't want to kill it. ;-)

Spammed

Arrgghhh.... my comments got spammed.

I still want to allow anonymous posting, since not everyone who reads is a Blogspot member, and I want them to be able to post. So I've added word verification for posting, which is a bit of a nuisance, but will hopefully stop the spam. If it doesn't, I may have to turn off the anonymous comment posting. Blah.....

Don't people have better things to do?

~~~
Edit: I took the word verification off because some people couldn't post with it on, and I got spammed again, right away. So I've left it off, but disabled anonymous posting. Sorry... I know that most of you have accounts, those that don't can comment in the Tag Board I guess. ;-)

2nd Edit: Still getting spammed... grrr... Will leave it as is for now.

Back to school... summer is gone again...

The first day back to school, and now the weather gets nice again... lol. Isn't that always the way. :-P

Sheldon is in grade 11 this year. Man... it's hard to believe. Every summer seems to go so fast, and every year... before I know it my baby will be graduating. Yikes.

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, the whole "empty nest" thing is sad -- letting your children go is tough. Life changes so much, and you miss them so much, even while you are excited for them. And yet... at the same time, reaching that stage in life is.... liberating (good word, Joyce). I love my kids beyond words -- they have been my life -- but in the natural progression of life, as each child grows up, I become more comfortable with that time when they will have all left home and made their own lives. And while I certainly don't want the next years to go quickly, in a sense I do look forward to it. To what life holds in store. This probably doesn't make much sense to alot of you (as most of you reading this are much younger than me or don't have older kids), and it's kind of hard to explain.

Anyway........

Last year around this time, I had alot going on, alot of uncertainty and confusion and pain, especially for several months. During that time a friend from church got cancer and died very shortly after, and there were just so many other things... The past few days have really brought alot of those memories up, and I'm working through some of that. I'm okay -- I am in a much better place now -- I just have some difficult moments now and then. But life is good. :-)

Okay, so something less depressing..... lol. Gonna see my girl next Monday! :-D

Chantelle is going to Regina for the Labour Day weekend, to spend time with some friends from Winnipeg that she hasn't seen for a year. Labour Day weekend is the traditional Saskatchewan Roughriders/Winnipeg Blue Bombers football game, and her friends are going and invited her to join them. She has very little time so she won't be able to make it home, but Sheldon and I are going to go down on Monday and hang out with her for the afternoon before she heads back to Calgary. Should be fun! :-) (and then it's only a few months till Christmas and she comes home for a longer visit! Woohoo!)

Yikes! Christmas!!!!! O.O

Thought of the Day

Yesterday's "thought of the day" in my inbox:

For every step you take toward God, God takes two steps toward you; and if you come to God walking, God comes to you running.
~ James Martin

Blah... kind of a bad day, on various levels. Wishing I didn't have to be at work today.

~~

ETA: No worries, I'm fine. Just one of those days. ;-)

What is REAL?

An excerpt from The Velveteen Rabbit:

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

~~~~

One of my favorite children's books. It was an excerpt in a book I was reading a few days ago. This is a quote from that same book:

"... we find that we are most 'real' in connectedness to others. At the core of our beings -- our innermost selves -- we long to feel special, understood, cared about. Loving and being loved makes us feel recognized, that we matter, that we're real."

I've been thinking alot about that recently, having had a recent exchange with a good friend on the topic, and including the above in a group email yesterday. Yesterday was again a reminder of just how much my friends mean to me, and how -- even though so many of them I know only through the medium of cyberspace -- they are the friends who are Real. They are the ones who have allowed me to be Real. Allowed me to be me... not who I think people want me to be or expect me to be. They are the ones who accept me for who I am, and don't "put me in a box". They are the friends who have taught me to trust, and with whom I have grown in so many ways. They are the friends that I know I can turn to when I need a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on or someone to pray for me, and they are the friends I can laugh and be silly with. And they know that I am here for them in the same way. Always...

And all but two of these friends I met in the same place. Is there a purpose in that? I believe so. :-)

To my friends: Josh, Alan, Amy, Carrie, Carmel, Trish, Christy, Ruthie, Sherry, Susanna, John, Matt, Dallas, Shauna, Lana, Joyce....

You have each touched my life in ways you will never know, and I am a better person for having known you. Some of you I've met {and you were just as Real in person ;-) }, others.... not yet. But maybe one day. :-)

Okay, enough sappiness for one day... lol. Have a good one. Much love to you all!

Got it!

Yup... the Todd Agnew CD arrived today! :-D

That's all for now... lol.

EDITED:

First listen, still not through the whole CD yet. But I have to say that I think "Always There" is going to be my always-makes-me-cry song of the album, just like "Still Here Waiting" and "Wait for Your Rain" were on the last album.....

My favorite is still "My Jesus". Love that song.

Well, I tried... but the nice guy at Parable wouldn't sell me the Todd Agnew CD a day early... lol. Perfectly understandable, he had concerns about the store being sued. I didn't really expect to get it, but thought it would be worth a try. ;-) So instead, I prepaid it and they will mail it out. Unfortunately it cost me an extra $5.50 (!!!) just to get it mailed out. Now, another CD I would have just waited until I was in Saskatoon again, although it could be awhile. But I really wanted this one. Should be here in a couple of days. Yay! :-)

After a few glitches, Sheldon has his car. We took Robbie's car to S'toon yesterday and his dad picked up his car and brought it back , so it was here when we got home last night. Well, technically it was in the garage cuz the brake pads needed to be replaced -- and he freaked when we got home and it wasn't here -- but he was able to pick it up, go cruising for a bit, and all is well. He's a happy camper. ;-)

So we went to S'toon to get some clothes, etc. for Sheldon. What does he come home with? One pair of jeans and a belt.... lol. He couldn't find anything else he liked. I tried... dragging him around to several places, but nothing interested him. He said he'd get something another time. Okay, whatever works... haha. Silly boy.

I got a few things for myself -- jeans, two pair of pants, couple of long sleeved t-shirts, a pair of shoes. I needed new pants quite badly. Some of my old ones don't fit, but some of them are just old and out of style. It was time for something new.

Chantelle called last night and we chatted for awhile. She always makes me laugh. She was telling me how she'd gone to Safeway on her way home from work to get the ingredients for this salad she wanted to make, plus some fruit, etc. She got off the C-train near her house and was walking home, and was thinking about how hungry she was, and all of sudden she realized that she'd left her bag of groceries on the C-train!!! LOL. Poor kid. Fortunately only about $9.00 worth of stuff, but still.... that's enough when you're on a tight budget, plus she needed that food for supper. She said she hoped someone who really needed that food found it. ;-)

Someone just returned a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to the library. Everyone keeps telling me that the ending is sad and that they cried. Oh no..... :'( I'm only about halfway through, I haven't been spending enough time on it. But I'm sort of trying to make it last, too. It's always so long till the next one!

Well, I'm at work so I should get something done. ;-)

Currently playing: Numb ~ Linkin Park (on Launchcast)

Okay, so the new Todd Agnew CD comes out on August 16. Yay! Trouble is, Sheldon and I are going to Saskatoon on the 15th!!! That day works out for us to go do some shopping for clothes, etc. for school, cuz he's not working and it's my usual day off. Blah... Maybe I can convince the nice staff at Parable to sell it to me a day earlier. They did once before when I was in a day or two before a release. I forget what CD it was, but I had asked if I could pay for it and have it mailed out to me since I was from out of town (they charge $3.50 shipping), and the guy goes "Well... we're not supposed to do this... but don't tell anyone... " and he slipped me a copy. ;-) If I tell them what a HUGE Todd Agnew fan I am, do you think that would help? LOL

Oh, and I have a number of gift certificates to use up at Parable. I'll have to figure out what else I want to get. There hasn't been alot in Christian music that has really caught my interest lately. We shall see... I might wait and use them another time.

Anyway, back to work... ;-)

New SCC single for Chronicles of Narnia

Check out the new single from Steven Curtis Chapman for the Chronicles of Narnia movie:

mms://66.186.0.101/allaccess/stevremb.wma

Good stuff!

Okay, fine.... I'll see what I can come up with.... lol. My life just lacks any kind of excitement. :-P

The Homecoming weekend in town seemed to go well. I didn't attend the festivities, other than the fireworks on Saturday night. They were awesome!!! The guy that did them is a professional who has been in many competitions, and it was just excellent.

I skipped the school reunion, too. I felt bad the next day when I got an email from an old friend (who only lives an hour away but that I've only seen 3 times in the last 25 years). She had come down for the reunion, and was very disappointed because the few people that she really wanted to see weren't there. I think she was quite hurt. And she went on to say that I need to give her a call when I'm in Saskatoon or maybe she needs to come down again because she really would like to see me, etc. Which is nice.... but on the other hand, I've been here all along and she's known how to get in touch with me. So why now? Just because a reunion sparked a temporary need to get in touch? Don't get me wrong, it would be good to see her, but I think it's just a passing thing, you know? Maybe I shouldn't be so cynical... :-P

Sheldon has been busy trying to locate a vehicle to buy. It's hard to find something that is decent and will be reliable within a reasonable price range. (Thankfully his uncle is a mechanic and can check out potential purchases for him.) If he can find something reasonable, he will need to take out a loan -- his dad is willing to co-sign for his first one, as he did for Robbie. Sheldon is very organized and efficient and has been checking things out quite thoroughly as far as what it will cost him for loan payments, insurance, gas, etc., and what he can expect to earn at his job once he goes back to school in the fall. Right now he has quite a few hours, but that will be cut back once school starts. He's already put some money away, and overall he's done quite well... I'm pleased with his initiative in handling it.

Speaking of co-signing.... Chantelle called last night. She's been talking for some time of going to school this fall, and has been tossing around a number of ideas. She is looking at going to Mount Royal College and taking a course in Reflexology Therapy. The classes are 2 evenings/week + Saturday mornings, which would work well because it would allow her to keep her current job (which she loves). She's applied for a student line of credit, but as she has no credit rating she needs a co-signer -- thus the call last night.

I agreed to co-sign for her -- which is kind of scary for me. At this point in my life I have no debts, and hope not to have any. I don't make alot, but it is enough to make ends meet. I have every confidence that she will find work when she is done and will be able to pay off her loan just fine, but still.... there is just that niggling "what if....." thought rolling around in the back of my mind. However... I will trust that it will all be fine. :-)

Have had to learn alot about trust in the last few years. God has been very good, and has provided some amazing people in my life, who have helped in ways they probably will never realize. Know that you are appreciated beyond words. :-)

Currently reading: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

As mentioned in the TagBoard, feeling a little better, although still not well. I'm coughing quite a bit (and yes, I am now taking some cough medicine... lol), and the sore throat is gone, but yesterday the headache came back and I was just really tired. Had a 2 hour nap in the afternoon and that helped. Aside from the cough, I feel okay today.

This weekend is our town's big Homecoming (as part of Saskatchewan's Centennial celebration). It's a big deal and the committee has been working very hard on it for a long time. I've lived here since I was 10, so this is home, but I have no great enthusiasm for attending the festivities. You have to pay to register in order to attend any of it, and it wasn't worth it to me... although I think that for those who are coming home for it, it will be good. The fireworks should be cool, but I can see that from my house.... haha.

There is a parade, and the library will be having a float. So guess who gets to ride on it? Oh yay.... lol. Since it's a "then & now" theme, we will have a former long-time librarian as well as myself and the assistant librarian. Oh joy..... :-P (Should I be practising my "queen wave"?... hahaha)

It's also my 25th high school reunion on Sunday, in connection with the Homecoming. I've pretty much decided not to go. (Don't I just sound like an old stick-in-the-mud!) The few friends I'd actually be interested in seeing aren't going to be there, and the rest of my classmates I'm not friends with, and after 25 years it really doesn't matter so much anymore. Our 10 year reunion was kinda cool, but after 25 years, if you haven't ever kept in touch with these people and weren't friends to begin with.... it's really not important. I thought it was just me, but I was talking to my sister-in-law, wondering if she was going, and she felt the same way (although she was a little hesitant at expressing her feelings at first, feeling like I was that "I shouldn't be so negative").

But yeah, I don't really have any desire to sit and spend hours trying to converse with people (not my strong point anyway) that I either haven't seen in 10-25 years, and/or don't really care if I do. I'm really not a negative person, it's just that some things in life are important, and some aren't. And I'd rather not spend my time on something I really don't enjoy just because "I should". Me, the "people pleaser", is trying to break out of that mindset of doing things "because it's expected".

Not much to update, but I did play around and added a Tag Board to my blog. ;-)

I was upgrading some software on my computer at the library today (Microsoft Office), and I thought I lost all my email. Yikes! Fortunately, I got it working. Man, what a mess that would have been.

I've had a cold the past few days and am just feeling really tired and blah. Blah, blah, blah.... At least it's the weekend, and tomorrow is my Saturday off. I also haven't been walking at all this week. Doesn't take much for me to start slacking off. :-P

Played a few games of Literati with Amy lately. She's good, people! Kicked my butt a few times... lol.

Well, work is almost done. I need to figure out something to make for supper. Hmmm....

Tonight's walking music: Jason Ingram (Self-titled).

Great CD. I've been digging out some of my old stuff that I haven't listened to for awhile. I don't know what ever happened to Jason, he wasn't really very well known, and it's a shame... good stuff!

BTW, if you're reading, Joyce... three great walks in a row. ;-)

My girl called tonight, right after Sheldon left on the bus, just to let me know he'd gotten away. They had such a good time -- I'm glad. Sheldon is more convinced than ever that he wants to move to Calgary when he's done school. He loves it there, and is very confident -- took public transit all over the place to shop, etc. (on his own, while she was at work). Now, you gotta realize that this is a kid coming from small-town Saskatchewan (population 1,100 on a good day), buzzing around a city of almost 1 million people (that he's only been to 3 times before). He did well. ;-)

I watched Big Brother earlier tonight. I rarely watch reality tv shows (used to be a big Survivor fan, but only for the first few seasons), but we started watching with Big Brother 2, and it kind of became our summertime thing (two of those summers Chantelle was home). So yeah, last week they said that the next episode was on this Thursday, and after that they'd return to the regular schedule. Robbie just happened to change the channel and it was on tonight! What was up with that? Yeah, I know it's kinda silly, but I watch it anyway. :-P

I hope you are all having a great summer. It goes by so quickly... make the most of it! :-)

It was a nice evening for a walk. Still fairly warm out, and the mosquitoes were only mildly annoying tonight... lol.

I did a bit of yard work yesterday (blech!), and spent much of this afternoon cleaning out cupboards/pantry. I've slowly been working at de-cluttering and clearing alot of junk out of my life... and that seems to relate not only to my physical surroundings, but mentally as well. They seem to go hand in hand. A couple of weeks ago I totally cleaned out a closet (I am such a packrat!!!) in my bedroom. Tossed some stuff, packed other stuff up to give away, and then had to reorganize what was left. Put up some shelving (that was an experience in itself), and then got all the rest of the stuff reorganized. It felt good, and of course I wondered to myself why it took me so long to do anything about it. Story of my life.... :-P

Sheldon comes home tomorrow night on the bus. Well, he leaves Calgary tomorrow night, gets home early Wednesday morning. I only talked to the kids once since he left, but they were having a good time.

I really want some ice cream. That kinda defeats the purpose of walking, doesn't it? Well, technically no... because I'm not walking to lose weight specifically (although that would be a bonus), but to be more physically active and fit. So yeah.... I have some Breyer's Strawberry Shortcake ice cream just calling my name.... maybe just a small dish... ;-)

Oh hey... anyone play Scrabble? I play Literati (which is the same as Scrabble) on Yahoo games with Josh. Last night we were playing with another friend, and my first word on the board, I used all my letters -- 53 points! Included 35 bonus points for using all the letters! I beat his all time single scoring of 43 points. Now it's on.... lol.

Okay, ice cream time.... ;-) Have a nice night peeps!

*waves* Nice to see you've joined the world of blogging, Amy! ;-)

So, I've just spent the past few hours playing a couple of online games. Arrrggghhh..... challenging, but frustrating, too. Unfortunately, I needed spoilers to finish. If you have some time to spare/waste, check these out:

There's another one, too, The Blue Chamber, but it looks kinda disappointing compared to these other two.

It's not even Friday yet!

LOL!

Not much to say, just thought I'd do a quick post. I just got back from a 45 minute walk. It is soooo nice out tonight -- well, except for the mosquitoes! I had to wear a light jacket -- it was really too warm for it once I got walking, but without it the mosquitoes were driving me crazy. But yeah, it was a hot day, and a beautiful calm night. Now, if you live in Saskatchewan, you understand that is rarely ever calm here.... lol.

Work has been busy, which is a good thing. Everyone's stocking up on their summer reading. It was funny, the last day of school, I had a number of teachers stop in. They loaded up on books and were heading for the lake as soon as possible. Lucky them!

Sheldon headed off to Calgary yesterday to spend his week with Chantelle. I know they'll have fun. They have a couple of concerts to see during Stampede Week, including the Stabilo concert tomorrow night {so probably only Alan has any clue who Stabilo is, but that's okay. ;-) }

Fortunately Sheldon was able to get a ride out to Calgary with his dad in the truck... that saved quite a bit on bus fare. It would be nice if he can get a ride back, too, but if not he'll be riding the bus.

I'm hungry, time to go find something to eat. *yawn* Such boring updates.... hahaha....

Happy Canada Day!

LOL... yeah, Amy, it's Friday again. :-P

And I have the day off! It's Canada Day, so no work today. No plans for the day, either. I slept in this morning (yes!), and Sheldon and I are just hangin' out. Might barbecue if the weather holds out. It's really warm out, but is getting pretty cloudy and looks like it may rain.

We've had alot of rain this month, but at least we're not flooding like so many places. Calgary has been flooded and Chantelle's basement suite got wet -- she had to move all her stuff into the empty bedroom and the landlord had to clean up the water and dry everything out. Not fun. Hopefully next week will be nice when Sheldon goes out. Calgary Stampede starts on the 8th, and it would be nice if things were dry then... Chantelle is really excited about him coming out. They should have a great time.

Well, not much to update on at the moment. Maybe I'll be back later. :-P

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian readers (all 2 of you.... haha). Have a great day!

What is it about Friday's that leads me to post? Boredom, mostly... lol. It's the end of the week, and I want the day to be done. Actually, what I'd really love is a nap! :-P

We had another wild thunderstorm a few nights ago. WOW! The lightning was incredible. I'm sure something hit here in town, you could hear it. And the thunder was awesome!!! :-D I love night-time thunderstorms, the only thing is that with "tornado season", it's kinda worrisome. At least during the day you can see the changes in the weather and have a better chance of knowing if something is coming, but at night... :-S

Sheldon started work this morning. He was tired at noon... lol. Not because the work is hard, but because he had to be up quite early (and didn't go to bed very early!), and it's just different than his usual day. He should be real tired by Sunday night. He goes shingling at 7:00 tomorrow morning, then works again on Sunday morning.

Anyone seen "The Notebook"? I was kinda disappointed. I had decided at one point not watch it, cuz I'd read a couple of Nicholas Sparks' books, and while they weren't too bad and they made me cry, I found them kinda predictable and not really my thing. But then everyone kept saying how "The Notebook" was SOOO good, the best movie, etc., etc., so I broke down and rented it last weekend. It was okay. Not bad, I was just disappointed -- it didn't live up to my expectations.

I really want to see "Hotel Rwanda" -- it's supposed to be very powerful. Maybe I'll rent it when Sheldon's gone to Calgary and Robbie's working, since no one else will wanna watch it with me. We don't agree on many movies in our house... haha.

There's been some scandal at our high school -- a female teacher & and a 16 year old male student. :-S All I've heard is some rumors, I'm not really sure what is truth, but I do know that the teacher was let go. Although all this apparently came about a couple of weeks ago (at least), I only just heard about it -- which is odd in a small town where everyone knows your business practically before you do! I asked Sheldon about it, since I was suprised that he hadn't said anything. But he didn't have much to say, just that he'd heard lots of rumors and didn't know what was true. Considering that the student in this alleged situation is a friend of his.... I guess he'd rather not be involved....

On another note entirely, I'm thinking about letting my hair grow out a bit. It is actually kinda curly once it has some length, but every time in the past that I've considered growing it out, it has driven me completely crazy and I'd go and get it all chopped off again... :-P I don't want it very long, just "longer"... If I can just hold out during that in-between stage when it looks lousy and drives me crazy. We'll see how I do.... lol.

Is it 5:00 yet?! *checks clock* Apparently not... I still have an hour left. I guess I'll go shelve some books and try to keep busy. ;-)

Till next time... :-)

I got a lil reminder that I haven't updated in awhile.... :-P Doesn't seem like there's much to write about, but I'll try... ;-)

School's almost done, Sheldon started writing finals today. He has a couple more this week, then one more next week. Report cards are out on the 30th. And it's finally feeling like summer! I was beginning to wonder if it ever would!

We had an awesome thunderstorm a few nights ago! (I love thunderstorms!) Unfortunately, with the storm came some tornadoes. I didn't know until later the next day that one (some?) had hit around here. Some farmers lost barns, sheds, other buildings, even livestock (sheep and chickens). On one farm, several power poles were ripped right out of the ground, so some areas were without power for some time. I had been watching a movie and not even paying attention to any weather warnings... way to go, September! :rolleyes: I was just enjoying the thunder.... what a goob.

Sheldon applied for a summer job a few weeks ago, and he got a call tonight. They want him to start on Friday morning (pumping gas). He needs a week off to go out to Calgary in July, but other than that he should be available most of the summer. He was also asked to go help shingle a roof on Saturday -- one of his teachers was looking for a few students to help out, he'll pay them each $100 for the day's work, so that is pretty cool. He's going to enjoy having some spending money this summer, and hopefully a start on saving for a inexpensive first car. ;-)

I've been trying to keep up with my walking. I usually manage to get in at least 4 times a week, need to try for more. I don't know the actual distance I've been walking, only that it's usually about 40 minutes. Gonna see if one of the boys will clock it so I know how far I'm going. I've added in an extra bit to what I was doing before, but am now at the same amount of time, so I must have picked up the pace a bit.... lol. I was attempting to do an aerobic workout several mornings a week, but I have an even harder time sticking to that. :-P I like walking because I can put on my tunes and just go -- usually letting my thoughts wander where they will. It helps to work out alot of stuff in head, and I feel better both physically and mentally.

I work 4 or 5 days a week (it alternates), but only 2 of those days include mornings, so I'm looking forward to having some days for sleeping in just a bit this summer. We don't have any special plans for the summer, but I like the relaxed atmosphere and the temporary freedom from meetings, etc. I only wish it lasted longer!

Is that enough randomness? LOL. Till next time... ;-)
