Little Bruce and Jenny are only 10 years old, but they just know that they
are in love. One day they decide that they want to get married, so BRUCE
goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand.
BRUCE bravely walks up to him and says, "Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in
love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."
Thinking that this was just the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, "Well,
BRUCE, you are only 10. Where will you two live?" Without even taking a
moment to think about it, BRUCE replies, "In Jenny's room. It's bigger than
mine and we can both fit there nicely." Still thinking this is just
adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, "Okay then how will you live?
You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to support Jenny."
Again, BRUCE! instantly replies, "Our allowance.. Jenny makes
5 bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month
and that should do us just fine." By this time Mr. Smith is a little shocked
that BRUCE has put so much thought into this. He thinks for a moment
trying to come up with something that BRUCE won't have an answer to. After
a second, Mr. Smith says, "Well, BRUCE, it seems like you have got
everything all figured out. I just have one more question for you. What
will you do if the two of you should have little ones of your own?" BRUCE
just shrugs his shoulders and says, "Well, we've been lucky so far..."

Its sunny....fairly warm...and I have the day off.

My plans...

Supper out, laying out in the sun, a walk down by the water, a swim in the heated pool, a stop in the steam room, followed by a trip into the sauna (haha oh yeah and a load a laundry in there but that just didn't seem to fit)

Have a fantastic day everyone. Tell some one you love them or smile at a stranger - make the world happier

Finally! I just finished working 14 days straight. The good news is that my cheque will be awesome (at least I hope) and all I owe out of it is $35. Sweet

The job seems pretty fun so far and something I am interested in. I really enjoy office work and I also enjoy interacting with people. Most of the people we have in the resort come in groups and they are out for a good time. A majority are seniors and OMG they are funny. I get told dirty jokes all day long and the single older ladies attack any guy who moves.

The other main group we get is tours from France. I have so much fun trying to talk with them and practice my french. Part of me wonders if maybe I should take off for france in a few months (after I save every penny I make) and get the chance to become totally bilingual.

Something to think about I think (haha although I don't think I am brave enough)

OK so I started my new job here in Ontario a few weeks ago as you know. Things are going so well that they also have me as a night porter as well - meaning I am responsible for any emergency that happens.

Well I got my first crack at it tonight. Yesterday the security people were here and checking and moving things to meet safety codes. So tonight I was making super and when I opened the oven it set the heat sensor off they moved. (for any asses out there NO I didn't burn anything. The food was still mainly frozen)

SOOOOOO like 10000 alarms start going off so loud you cant hear anything. I had to run and check the panels to see what section the alarm was going off in. Then get everyone out of the hotel (thank god we just opened and almost no rooms are occupied)

Then the fire deptarment shows up and I have to tell them all the fire info, update them on everything and start checking everyroom. Even though there was no fire policies have to be followed. Then on top of that we couldn't find the key to open up the panel to set off the alarm. I wanted to die. Even though it wasn't my fault I felt sooooooooo stupid. I did handle the situation well never once panicing or anything.

BUTTTTT

The one hilight--The firemen were HAWTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT and one in particular kept smiling at me. HAHA I figured he was embarassed for me but the chief told me later that the guys said if I was the one in charge they won't mind coming back anytime. And to think had it been 1/2 hour early I would have been running around in my bathing suit (haha then again if I was in the pool I wouldn't have been cooking)

Now I need to see what else I can do to make another alarm go off so that I can get them back...prefereably in the middle of the night when there are no guests around and I can convince them that I need protection.

.........another happy day. Have you ever had a day where you just want to smile?? Thats all I have been doing and it feels so damn nice! Every thing is almost too good (and I should shut up lol) Even today as I went for a walk I was stopping to see all the flowers blooming because 95% that are out are tulips which are my favorite flower. I so bad wanted to lean down and pick some from peoples gardens but I would never do that..not 1 minute after I had to stop myself from picking one - I looked down and someone had dropped a fresh picked pink tulip on the sidewalk. It was in perfect condition...haha so I got one in the end anyways and had no guilt for stealing.

Living in this town is like living in the story Mary Poppins...as you walk around there are squirrels, chipmunks, birds etc all over. They pretty much come close enough that you could pet them. HAHAH I feel like I should be belting out a disney tune.

Again today was awesome. I got to sleep in (wow that never happens - I need to be up by 6 am for the next 4 days YUCK!!)Then I ran into to hot guys who were doing some kinda electrical work on the resort. I went to work had a very good shift with my first close and my balance at the end of the night was perfect. Chris made me supper at work and it was soooooooo yummy. Edmonton beat Detroit out of the playoffs and that majorly helped my hockey pool.

I am now home and chatting with a few special people and then I am off to bed. Its awesome..I am having such good days and it effects me in so many ways. When you feel good life becomes beautiful.

What a cool day..and I thought I was going to have a crappy blog tonight.

First the day started off on the wrong foot..my new roommate arrived and well...lets just say it wasn't the best. On top of everything else she is a noisy sleeper (to be polite!) I had gone to bed at 1:30 cuz my boyfriends had kept me up then she kept me awake until 4:30. Then at 5am she gets up..I had to be at work at 6..so yeah..no sleep at all.

But then the day got better. My shift flew by and low and behold 12 days into my new job I got a promotion..lol. Along with it-- Approx $50 more a week, plus my rent is now free. As well I now have my own room and it connects to a living room! Bring on the sleep tonight lol!!

Then it was such a BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLL warm day here I went for a walk into town and picked up a few things...then here comes the best part...It was so nice I slapped on the sunscreen and layed out by the pool. Goodbye pasty white skin hehehehe. Soooooo peaceful, relaxing and refreshing (haha side note--for those who rememeber my experience last year -I PILED on the sunscreen lol)

Beach is alive and well and even though I am tired I can honestly say things are going my way.

BTW--part of my new job is a night porter which means I get paid to sleep and anwser the door in my housecoat.. (which is a tiny scrap of silk lol)Dreams do come true! Somedays you gotta smile!

thanks all for the pm's and messages in my blog. Change does seem to suit me. I seem to fit in pretty much no matter where I go...haha and this is one blog I am not deleting so when October comes and I move again I just need to remember that within time no matter where I am at will be home.

To anyone who wonders a lot of time my blogs are ponderings and things I notice about myself and a lot of self exploration. The reason for this is in a way I do use this as a diary and I think by needing to explain things out to readers it helps me work things out in my mind.

I swore once to never delete any of my blogs because I like seeing how I have changed and what ideas/thoughts I had over time.

I think my next blog is going to be about my dad because its something thats really bugging me..and in a way thats kinda different for me. Other than that I think I am blogged out for tonight.

From now on I think my blog is going to try and be a daily thing. I want this to be a good summer and I want to encourage myself to do some things and keeping a record should help.

Well I finally got a chance to sit my ass down long enough to come visit NN. I've worked everyday this week and work all next week too..I think my first day off is 8 days from now.

Damn the past month has flown by. I can't believe it was a month ago I was packing up my apartment. It seems like yesterday yet at the same time like months ago.

SOOO...

Here I am now in Ontario and trying to settle in. So far everything seems great and I am making a ton of new friends plus now when I talk with my "special" group of friends who live in Ontario I know we may meet up and that makes me happy. Hopefully some are taking a road trip to come see me soon-- esp the guys lol.

My new job I really enjoy although I do think my brain is about to explode from all the info I need to know. Plus I am basically in charge by times and wow thats a scary thought for sure. Now I just need to concentrate on saving some money or come October I will be homeless.

I still haven't decided what I am doing in October...going home or staying here. I finally realized a few things the day I left for Ontario and I think I am finally understanding what/whos important to me. You can love someone with all your heart and though it will never go away sometimes you need to cut loose. I just recently decided I had enough of someone and its their loss. I've gotten my life straightened out and their choice to not be a part of my life - its their issue not mine. I see it and so does everyone else.

To everyone here I hope all is well and I hope to catch up with you all soon! I still have my email and I even hope to get into chat one of these nights. Plus I even have a phone again for those who dare lol!

Love to All!!

..........Goodbye!

Not forever! Maybe not even for long, I am just really not sure. Tonight is my last night in this apartment *sniff sniff*. Tomorrow I am selling my PC as its too had to move it with me. Until I actually leave for Ontario I will be staying with my grandparents so being on NN is not an option. HAHAH I share a lot of things with my grandmother but this isn't one of them.

I am about to start a new part of my life but I am not leaving my past..just certain people/things from it. Its time that I make my dreams happen instead of expecting them to find me.

haha I want to write more but I think the fumes from the over cleaner are more powerful than me!

All the best NN! To my friends I love you! You know how to find me!
