8TH ANNUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!


So, today I was going through the paper.
*Gasp* There is a shock right there. First time I have looked at a paper in like 3 months at least. Well, okay I was reading Dear Abby like a week ago..but ANYWAY.

I see an ad for the Turtle River Race. And sad to say..even though I have lived in Kamloops all my life I have never known or participated in this (not that I could, but I'll get to that).

The basic information of it is..You buy tickets. 1 for $10 or 3 for $25 and then the number on your ticket has the same number as an environmentally safe plastic turtle. They drop all those turtles into the river and the first three to make it to the finish line the fastest wins. It's just the luck of the draw really but it's alot more fun that just picking a name out of a hat.

All the proceeds go to Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops.

The only thing that makes me sad is, I cannot get one since this is a raffle and you have to be 19 or over. That's kind of lame.
But I like the idea of it. And I think all you should go adopt a turtle. Except you can't actually keep them, which sucks.
I would name mine Alfonso.

Did I mention there was prizes!

Race # 1: Wii Cruise Anaheim

Grand prize:

• 3 nights cruise & 3 nights Anaheim package for 2

• Ocean Pacific Water Sports Scuba Diving Lessons & rentals for 2
  
  

3^rd Prize:

  As you might have guessed, there is two races.
  First one is at 1pm and second one is at 2pm.
  The race takes about 25 minutes, Starting at the Kamloops Yacht Club(Yeah Who knew we had such a thing?)
  
  So yes, I hope this thing appreciates my free advertising..cause it's not like I do this kind of thing alot. I just like turtles.
  
  If you have questions..there is a website HERE. Like if you want to know where to adopt them from.
  Okay, Thanks Guys.
  
  

Apparently it's not the guitar.

I had my first guitar lesson on Thursday. Okay, well technically it's far from my first but I had a year and a half break so it felt a little weird.

After this I walked over to Superstore where my brother and friends were taking wayyy too long to decide what kind of food they want for camping. I just tagged along. Then this man came up to me and started asking questions about what music I played(remember I have a guitar on my back.) we talked for a bit. He told me this good band called Skillet who is actually a christian band(I guess I look like the type of person who wouldn't know that?) then his wife came along so he left.

He came up to me a second time. I was with different friends so maybe he felt intimidated cause all he did was wish me luck with my music playing.

But that wasn't enough. I am browsing the aisles waiting for people and I see him coming..so I turn the other way and go into a random aisle and am pretending to be interested in random food products. He comes up. Starts asking me questions about my music and then goes on to tell me he used to be in a band and wants to be in one now. "One like Skillet, the christian band, have I ever heard of them?"

I was quite frustrated by this point. Later, I go outside to wait and walk over to Tim Hortons. Got some stuff and as I am walking out the door I see these boys in a car staring at me as they go by. Umm ew? I find a place to sit and am happily eating my food when the same car comes out of drivethru. The boys start staring at me again..and then one of them waves.

I thought maybe these episodes happened because of the guitar on my back.
But no.
Since I did not have the guitar yesterday.

I was waiting outside of Interior Savings Centre. I was sitting on a bench, just reading my book.
Glancing up every couple minutes. About 10 minutes later I look up and there is this old man walking by looking at me. When I saw him staring he said hi..I said hi back..and quickly went back to reading. A while later an old man walks up, says "Hello Gorgeous" and sits down. Maybe man #1 was feeling a little bit jealous cause he came back and said hi again. At this point I decided it was in my best interest to escape, so I left.

Mmmm It doesn't stop there my friends.

I was walking from work to the church today and a car drove past and a guy in the passenger seat leaned out, smiled and waved at me. I most definitely did not know him.

IN CONCLUSION:
Okay, So maybe all these guys were just trying to be nice to me? I don't know.
But I do believe Kamloops has become a very creepy place while I was gone and I do not feel very comfortable anymore.
One thing is for sure, you will probably never catch me alone at ISC again.

T.I.L.T.!

It's Thursday, and I remembered! It's amazing I know.

1. Colbie Caillat.
2. Doing little things to make other people happy.
3. Oreo Cakes.
4. Popsicles.
5. Spontaneity.
6.Singing in a microphone.
7.Pictures!
8. Spell Check, haha.
9. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
10.One of the boys.
11.Being able to resist temptation.
12. Before and after pictures.
13. Heart Surgeons.

Enjoying the graduated life.

When people ask me what I am doing this fall I tell the truth:
I'm working part time and going crazy having fun the rest of the time.
Just in the last two weeks I have done so much.

I have had photo shoots.

Cleaned my brothers house..Took so long, but I think it was worth it. (The before and after pictures should be appearing on facebook soon)

Had craft night at the Neutelings(See Kandace? I told you I knew how to spell it!)

While everybody else was busy doing neccesary invitation making I was just having fun.

I had a fun last night with my duckling before she left for camp.
Hanging out in Aberdeen was a wayy better idea than going to watch a movie.

I have started working on the perfect Hannah Tootsie donut.
It is far from perfect. It will take months of experimenting before I discover the perfect recipe.

I met up with a hopeful youngster applying at Starbucks and I asked if I could take a couple pictures of her. She wasn't really in the mood so here is the only good one I got.


Apparently this youngster has no friends since she asked if she could come home with me. Since I have such a kind heart I let her tag along on a biking adventure where we got the best popsicles known to mankind.


And caught a glimpse of the biggest dog I have ever seen. The picture does not do it justice.


The girl would not leave! So I let her stay the night and the next day we met up with a similar character and went on many adventures. Included in this was getting girly drinks from booster juice, comparing phones at koodo, walmarting, eating mcdonalds and taking my second ever bus ride in Kamloops. Pretty fun. On the bus we decided to be cool and sit at the back of the bus.
Yes, we are that cool.


That was only scraping the surface at what I have done since I am home. But really, don't you guys have better things to do than reading about all my crazy adventures?

I am having a blast.
Now go have your own crazy adventures and try to outdo me.

P.S. If any of you have the cell phone number of Derek from Sport Check could you please contact me?
Thanks.

Hot..Cocoa.

Sometimes when I say "Oh, I'm fine."
I want someone to look me in the eyes and say "Tell the truth."

There is a fine line between genius and insanity. And I have erased that line and replaced it with a trout.

If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.

I miss your face :[

Fun size? What's so fun about eating less candy?

My friends are cooler than giraffes. And giraffes, they're cool.

If you die
You'll be dead
I'll be sad
Don't die okay?

If he catches me staring, at least I'll know he was looking back.

Pardon me while I burst into song.

Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner!

Remember that one time...Oh wait, that was a dream..

You're Wrong! Just stand there in your wrongness and be wrong.

I'm the girl that hides her pain with a smile to brighten everyone elses day.

Well,
I love being home.

Of course it would appear that my family is not used to having me around the house.
My mom keeps forgetting I am here and not making enough food because of that.

And, aww, the other day I was in my room on the computer and Noah walks in and asks "What are you doing here?..Oh wait I forgot that you came home." :(..

There is also strange things happening.

Today Sean told me that he sings 'Raindrops keep falling on my head' all the time. I thought he meant just the chorus....But no, he informed me that he has the whole song memorized. Weird.

The past two days I have been cleaning my brothers house. It actually makes me feel good.
Although I still have lots to do. When I am done I will be putting before and after pictures up on Facebook.

Today I finally cleaned my room and finished unpacking. I was sick of my room being a mess so I told myself I was going to listen to one song over and over again until I got it finished.

Lucky- Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz
30 Times.

Surprisingly enough I didn't hate it at the end. But I am getting there.

K, I think you are updated enough for now.

Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy.

I am at home.
Enjoying it well it lasts.
I got home at 12:30 p.m. today and I leave at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Wow, I am one busy little girl.

The last week of camp was, not really the picture of perfection. Let's just say I cried and average of three times a day. I am just glad to be away from it all and starting something new. Hopefully in the next week I will be able to recover from my injuries(both physically and mentally) and I will be ready for a fresh new start in September.

Tomorrow I leave for Alberta til Sunday. It will be amazing. I know it. I will do a couple firsts.
1. Paintballing.
2. Going to a wedding of one of my oldest friends.
3.Roadtrip!(Well, I have done roadtrips but not one as long as this with friends)
4. Staying at a strangers house.

An never ending debate: Which part is yummier? The White icecream, the Chocolate icecream or the fudge part in the middle?
My personal favorite is never discussed, the fake icing on the edges and the nasty colored gel on top used for the writing.

:)

Hannah: "I'm the motha flipping Rymenocerous. My lyrics are bottomless.."
Christie:"What is that?"
Hannah "You don't know flight of the conchords? You deprived child!"
Christie:"No, being deprived is never having watched Matilda"
Hannah:"I've watched it a couple times..."
Christie:"See? No deprivation here!"

So funny.

Made me laugh.
Alot.
I love having Christie here.

No, please.

Do you know what one of my pet peeves is?

When a person keeps making fun of a movie and mocking everything that is happening and yet keeps watching and watches the whole thing.

It is freaking annoying..especially if I have to be sitting like right beside them the entire movie!!!!

Sidenote: I do confess I have maybe done this a bit before but not that much.

Hey guys,

It has been a while.

Ten days apparently.

I've been doing good.
I have a funny story. So at camp when people get mail they have to do something for it, like a stunt or embarassing act. This year they have these beans. Like jelly bellys but there is a twist. There is two flavours for for each colour. One good kind..and one bad kind. Example: Coconut or rotten eggs, Peach or Vomit. So when somebody gets mail they usually have to eat like 3 and everything is left up to chance. You could be lucky and get all good ones..or fail epicly.
I got a package from my mom. The sad part is Mark let me shake it before I did the stunt and..and I knew instantly what it was. COD LIVER OIL PILLS! So really I didn't want the package at all but I had to do it anyway. And since for some reason I get special treatment, instead of only getting like 3 beans..I got 6. Guess how many of them were bad? 5! It was so gross. The last one was vomit..and it did actually taste like vomit..SOOOOOO Gross. The only consolation was I made Mark eat one of the pills my mom sent me. Hahahha, so funny. Anyway yes. That's my story. More sad than funny.

That's pretty much all I have to say.

Now I am going to get off the computer and not waste away my last weekend at camp.

Love you!
P.S. We have 8 day camp coming up, it's the last camp but speaking from experience I know it will be very hard. So I would appreciate prayer for that.

=D

I'm intensely happy and I do not know why.

I cannot go for five seconds without smiling.

It is strange and creeping me out.

Maybe it is the lack of food.

I love food.

But not cheese.

It should not be considered food.

Duke:So, uh, do you... like cheese?
Eunice: More than almost any other animal by-product.

Haha, I love she's the man.

Last year at camp we got into this Amanda Bynes kick and watched she's the man and sidney white over and over again.

Hmm, The topic comes back to camp.

Camp food: Usually really good.

The downside is we usually have the same meals every week, so you kind of get sick of it. Unless it is the grilled cheese sandwiches. Sooooooooooooooooo good.

Anna (in Tess's body): It's easy to be you. I'll just suck the fun out of everything.
Tess (in Anna's body): I do not suck the fun out of everything.
Anna (in Tess's body): Fun-sucker.

All right, this morning was good. But then I got up.  
Darling. Could you, like, chill for a sec? Sure, sure, I'll chill. - I'll, like, go get your dad. Alan, that's not our car!
K, the heat is getting to me. I think I am out of my happy mood. I need to wake up in seven hours so I am going to go to bed.

Camp is going great. I don't know what else to say.
I'm happy to be home. So happy that all I can do is clean and garden. Haha, no I have been doing more..but that has taken up the majority of my time.
I guess I'm making up for the bunch of nothingness I did at the lake.

HELLO WORLD! HANNAH IS BACK IN HER HOMETOWN SO COME HANG OUT WITH ME!

Higher, Higher.

H€Y GUYS!

I'm rocking out to Katy Perry while attempting to make peanut butter cookies for the like 3rd time today.
So, as I think of things to say I will right them down. (Oh the joys of having a laptop.).

I don't think that peanut butter cookies are a very good idea because last time I made them they failed horribly..but..I kind of have to.. :).

Cade made supper for him and me tonight. It was so cute. Of course it wasn't all the complicated. Steak and potatoes and the steak was already marinated but still. And I was outside weeding when it was ready so he put it on a plate and put it in the fridge for me. Awww.

Anyways. Usually when I come home from camp I miss it alot and I feel as if there is nothing to do. But I am not really missing it at all. Does that sound harsh? I love camp and all but I am really glad that this break went from being a weekend into a whole week.

Today was slack but not. I did an intense clean of the fridge. I threw so much stuff out. And I cleaned the dining room a bit. I did a ton of weeding and watering. And more weeding. I watched a movie. I finished the book I had been working on this weekend. I listened to music. I avioded the many emails I should be sending. I had a shower. I shaved my legs and now they feel so nice..haha.

Haha, I am watching 'Emma'. What an enjoyable movie.

She is alive.

So, I was feeling sorry for all of you since I never blog much anymore..like there is no quantity to my posts. So, I'm going to try and write a super long one this time. Can't promise anything but here goes nothing.

For like a month now I have been going about my business without wearing glasses or contacts. I know it must be terrible for my eyes and all but it's just easier not having to worry about that at all.

My meals of this weekend so far have been microwave popcorn, poptarts and onion rings. Yuummm. It was the first time I had ever had the rings, they were okay, I guess.

There is a strange man watching me. Creepy.
Umm I can't think right now.

I keep waking up at five every morning. Not very fun.

This morning I went to the staff room at seven and I have been here since then except for once when I went to get food. It is now three. I really should go do something else. I am wasting away my precious weekend.

Campers come again tomorrow. Crazy.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, There is this tea that I have been looking for everywhere, it's call earl grey vanilla. I cannot find it anywhere. I have looked at like 7 different grocery stores. But I do know it exists because I saw the advertisment for it on the back of the reg. earl grey and someone here at camp has it.

I really want a package. There has been two people that have gotten packages from home and they look so cool..there is like food and clothes in them. But no mom, this is not a unsubtle hint to send me one. It doesn't really matter. It's just a statement.

Okay, my try failed. But I'm going to go get fresh air now.

Awwwwww.

You turned my 5.5 day into an 8 day.


Haha, you guys will not be able to understand this. But that's okay. As long as I know what is going on it's all good.

T.I.L.M.

Because I can never remember to do this on Thursday I am just changing it to monday..for this week at least.

1.Oreo Cakesters.( Like actually ..those things are amazing. If you don't know what to get me for my birthday you can just give me some of those.)
2.Showers.
3.HOT CHOCOLATE!(The real stuff)
4.Music.
5.Random crazy adventures.
6.Food in general.
7.Sleep(hahaha)
8.Weekends.
9.Emails.

P.S.

1. Oh my goodness. One of the many benefits of camp is: I don't wear any makeup anymore! Well, sometimes I put on a bit...but I have been feeling beautiful without it, and that makes me very happy. And it saves so much time in the morning :).

2. I am eating soooooo much!
Seriously. I eat like seconds and thirds every meal. I know I am prolly going to gain so much weight but whatever. I'm okay with that at the moment too.

*CAMP*

So,
*Note* During the week I only have an hour break every day and that is divided between sleep and God and anything else I need to do when I am bymyself. So if you email me or something please don't expect a reply. I would email you back iffffffffff I had more time.

So, Hey guysss.
It has been awhile eh?
Let's quickly go over what has happened in the last....two weeks-ish.

I went to camp...*YAY!*.
It has actually been...somewhat amazing so far.
The first week was staff training and it was sooo full and packed, it felt like the whole summer in one week.
Highlights were...Umm July 1st...we were in the Peachland parade..soo fun. We had a float...and there was some of the themes from this year and a replica of our pool and archery range and we sang camp songs buuuut I....had an intense job. *Backstory* This year out camp got a BMX track..and so me and Steve rode BMX bikes in the parade. It was sweet. I would ride around the float in my huge helmet and elbow and knee pads and pretend I could actually do jumps and stuff..when in actuallity I can hardly even ride a bike. But Steve did show me how to do a bunny hop so now I can do that but it is pretty lame.

And then at night we watched the fireworks but since it is Peachlands 100th birthday they were HUGEEEEEEEEEEEE. So good.

So yeah. The whole week was filled with work projects and sessions and training in general..and food. I would have to say that the food was the best part.

On the weekend we took a bus(*GASP*) my second ever bus ride. Starbucks run..and then the carnival/fair thing..and A&W and food shopping and yeah..hahaahhahaha oh man...exploring a creek...hahahahah.

Ummmmmmmm, Yes so camp started yesterday. I was a little nervous before..but as soon as the girls started coming it was good..and I felt comfortable.
The age group for this week is 5-10? I think. I have 7, 8 and 10's in my cabin and so far they have been really good. Let's hope it stays that way :P.

So yes. It's been great. It's actually quite unbelievable for me when I think that I still have a whole summer left when it feels like it has been so long already.

But prayer would be appreciated cause I am almost certain that the all the weeks will not be as slack as this one(just wait until teen camp :).

So yeah. there is a little update. Dont' expect anything from me again for a while. Besides, reading about camp is prolly so boring :).

Love you guys!

Gone...

Well,
Here I am,
Leaving today.

Please don't miss me too much,
I promise I will do all that is possible to blog again while I am there.

Even though it's probably a bad idea:

5247 Inga St.
Peachland, BC
Canada
V0H 1X8

So, just in case you want send me some love.

I'm sure I will have many tales to tell when I get back.

Alright.

Please pray for me.

Love you guys.

Love this song.

Before..and after.

Don't worry. It's not permanant.
It will only last 8-10 washes if you trust the packaging.

Grad Pt. 1

Needs no words.
It was fun.
We look great.
What happens at grad dinner stays at grad dinner :).

A near perfect day.

Oh my goodness.
Today was..Amazing.
Let's recap shall we.
Though..just to start us off.

I rarely think good of anything.
No, maybe I didn't phrase that right.
It's just that I don't really appreciate things that much.
But today, all day, I have been having fun, enjoying myself, living in the moment, and realizing it.

Ahem, I begin my tale.
I woke up to my mother telling me I had about 20 minutes to get ready.
+1 I had a really good dream -1 She interuppted it.
I looked in the mirror. I was happy with what I saw and I didn't put any makeup on +1.

Went to the park.
PLAYED HOCKEY AND IT WAS AWESOME!
I actually had so much fun. And I was sweating and gasping for breath at times and that made it feel so much better. Just so you know that wasn't sarcastic.
-1 In the car before I got out..I put makeup on..I know, bad girl.

After which, I went to Mcdonalds for lunch :).

Then off to school where everybody went to the theatre thing to watch the production that the drama class had put together.
It was..good. I just didn't really understand the old english. But my favorite part of it was, every time I looked over at Mr. Bastedo he was mouthing the lines :).

After school I drove! And I didn't make any almost-accident mistakes.

Then I drove to Grama Denise's house. Where we had a mini visit while I gave her the invitation to grad.
And then to Grandpa Buds where we went in for tea. It was pretty sweet. Drinking tea and visiting with them.

Came home. And decided I wanted a picnic on the patio. But of course we couldn't have a picnik with the way it looked(nasty.) So me Sean and Lukas cleaned everything up and hosed down the cement and it looked so great.

And, of course we had to pick the one day that my dad had taken away the bbq..so we couldn't have any hamburgers or anything but we had...SOUP instead.
Pretty much the greatest thing ever.

I wanted the fun to go on soo. I suggested a trip to the boys treefort that they have been fixing up. At the time I didn't know that it took 30 minutes of hiking to get there.. :)
We hiked it was tiring but fun. I took lots of pictures..they will/are on facebook so check them out.

Had some deep conversations about Jackie Chan movies while we were up there. Came home.

Sat by the pool for a while cooling off my feet and singing as loud as I could.

Had a snack of Rice crispies and my new earl grey/green tea.

And now I am getting caught up with my pictures.

I loved today.


Edit: Well, the day part of it.

Ways to be a good babysitter..

Sleep in way too late and let your 'baby' fend for himself.

Threaten to lock him outside if he doesn't change out of his Pj's. (This made me laugh since it actually worked)

When he requests Macaroni and cheese for lunch give him a choice "Sandwich or nothing".

Awww, even though I basically ignored Noah and didn't give him the lunch he wanted he actually complimented me on the good sandwich I had made him.
===================================================================

In other news.
I have been pretty stressed lately since everything is coming up so soon.
Worrying about getting everything finished and then camp coming up in 24 days..
And grad and work and everything else on top of that. It is not a pretty sight. I spent a good while sitting on the floor in the break room at work feeling sorry for myself :).

It's been 11 days!

Did you miss me?

Well, let's see.

Herald Camping was...FUN. Obviously camping is always fun.
Funnest part must have been..Just chilling around..or :D cuddling in the night times.

Then Sunday night we all went to Terminator 4(?).
Which I thought was really good but apparently I would have liked it alot better if I had watched the first 3.

Monday I worked..ahahha it was lots of fun, as usual.
I'm not going to detail but apparently we accidently put tuna in a lady's snack wrap.
I couldn't really understand that seeing as we have not carried tuna in our store for over 2 years.
And then she went on to tell me that I better go clean the tables because there was no empty tables.

Tuesday..I went to the boys game..which..was painful. 12-0. I was pretty much crying the entire time :).

Wednesday. Went to the mall for the first time in a lonnng time. Had lunch with the mother and the auntie and went to the only store worth visiting and bought a sweet shirt. Then choir..and bible study.

Thursday. Choir..and then later the fine arts festival.
*Pause*
So for Jill and any other people who might be in the dark (of course Jill might have figured this out by now..)
In February I joined the KCS choir and have been going to practises 2-3 times a week. Then at the beginning of this month we went on a trip to Three Hills, Alberta to have this giant choir learning thing.)
*Unpause*
So the Fine arts festival is like a recital..but it's for the band, choir, art class, sewing class , cooking class and any other classes I might have missed. This was technically our only concert type thing which I think is stupid but oh well. I was really not looking forward to it but it actually turned out okay. And I had oreo cheesecake which was AMAZING!

So then Thursday night at 9 I stopped eating. Why I stopped eating so early I do not know..

Friday: No eating..choir..boys game..church..

Saturday: More no eating..which was for the Hungry for Haiti thing(basically 30 hour famine with a different name). And then eating. Which did not satisfy me at all.

But now, here I am.
All by myself.
Without my computer.
Which I am not going to explain at the moment.

30 years, People!

On this day, May 19th, thirty years ago. My mother and father were married.
I don't know what else to say.
So I won't.
But tomorrow if I get the chance I will put up a picture from back then.

This was the latest picture I had and it's almost midnight so I couldn't well go and get a newer one could I?

Picture Post......

The ultimate pen.

A birthday present perhaps?

Awwwww.

For Amanda.

Similar to the incident of December's PJ Pants, last year I saw this shirt at Thrifties that I really liked. But for a very good reason(either it was price or size, I don't rightly remember) I didn't buy it. Of course I regretted it.
*Pause* I hate it how all the impulse buys I do are always a bad idea, but the ones I wish I had done are the items I regret not having bought. If that makes sense.
*Unpause*
So fast forward a couple months. To last June. I worked almost full time the entire month and I got to know the day shift workers really well. Well, last day I'm working. Amanda finishes her shift and is walking out in her normal clothes. Lo and behold, she is wearing the very shirt that I had wanted.
I guess I must have been making a funny face cause she stopped and asked what was wrong. I explained to her that I loved her shirt...*blah* *blah* end of story: we switched shirts. Thankfully I had worn a not-so-loved shirt that day and it fit her so..yeah. Now I have this prized shirt.
And one of the cute things is she wore really heavy perfume and you can still smell it on the shirt even though I've washed it numerous times. So every time I wear it, I smell lovely.





P.S. No, I still don't know what is written on it.

I heart ROADTRIPS!!!!

Well, apparently google maps is wrong. Veryyy wrong. It did not take 9 hours. It took around 12-13 hours. Of course you have to figure in the time change and everything too but I'm pretty sure it was around there.
The trip there was okay...I basically just listened to other people talk. I actually didn't use my i-pod at all during the trip except like 10 minutes before bed one of the nights.

We stopped..somewhere for lunch..and most of us went to Mcdonalds and it was so fun cause it was McHappy day..And there was balloons and it was very exciting.And then we stopped somewhere for supper..it was like Canmore? or something..All I know is that it was in Alberta. And I went to DQ..with the boys. But I sat at a different table than them because I didn't even know them at that point. And I walked back to the bus but nobody was there so I sat outside taking pictures..So the next three pictures are from that.

So, we finally got there at like 10:30. We got our keys for our rooms and our bags and we went up to the dorms. There was a trick about the doors though that was quite annoying at times. Everybody had a pass card thing...and in order to get into the dorms you had to swipe it..then the door unlocks and you open it and go through except...if the door is open for more than...(we never figured out how long) lets say a minute, this really loud alarm goes off. So I was always scared that I was going to set it off. Another thing about that is after 11 p.m. the swipe cards don't work anymore so you have to be in the dorms by that time. Pretty lame if you ask me.
General overview of my time at three hills.
We sang alot.
Our choir got adjudicated(which for all you non musical people out there means: Our choir sang for this music director guy and he told us all the things we did wrong so now we have to fix that stuff.).
And we sang some more.
The Thursday night we were hanging out in the cafe place. It was so much fun. I was actually talking to people..quite amazing. And I got free food.
Okay then Friday we sang, sang, sang then performed all the pieces we had been practising. It was..okay. Friday night was fun because we were the only choir there. We ordered pizza from the chinese food place and played soccer and listened to music. Then after 11 the girls watched a movie..but it looked kind of boring and I was tired so I just went to bed.

Saturday morning we packed everything up and drove about 3 hours to Edmonton. We got to the mall at like 11. And I went around with some of the girls. It wasn't very fun. But whatever. We found two of the guys and they came with us to the Theme park...Where three of the girls went on the rollercoaster. And then we went on one other ride. And we had to meet up with the group to make sure that everybody was alive. Then some of us went to the Old Spaghetti Factory. After we had like half an hour so me and Michelle did some power shopping. Seriously everything I bought was like 20 minutes before we left. Quite amazing.

The group at 'The Old Spaghetti Factory'

So. After the mall we went to this church where we were staying the night. Libby took over my phone at that point and was glued to it for the rest of the night.
We had a fashion show to show of what we had purchased, then some karaoke, which was actually a danceoff. Then a game. Then bed.
We woke up at about 7..? the next morning, packed our stuff up and departed. We didn't get breakfast for like 2 hours after that, it was crazy.
Then yeah...there's not much else to tell. Me, Matt, Chris and Sinja played the grocery store food game on the way home....And I showed Chris the colour switch feature on my camera so he took alot of pictures like the one below.
Oooo, true story. I did not sleep on the bus trip there or back. I'm pretty proud of myself.

So, there is my first trip ever to Alberta. Can't say it was the best time I've ever had but..there was some enjoyable moments. And now I can say that I never ever ever want to go on a roller coaster.

Well now..

Thanks to my trusty friend 'Google Maps' I was able to figure out how long my trip to Alberta was going to take.
9 hours and 10 minutes.
Eeeep.
I am not good with long car trips.
The longest one I've been on was like 6  hours and some of that was on a ferry so it doesn't really count.
This trip is going to suck even more because I will be on a bus rather than the comfort of my own vehicle, and I don't really know anybody.
So, charge the i-pod and sharpen the pencils because I leave in two days.
This will be the first time I have ever been to anywhere in Canada besides my own province.

A major accomplishment.

Those of you who know me, know that I am not a fan of physical activity.
I tend to shy away from playing games and such that require..well pretty much anything that requires moving! :).
The one exception is my walks in Valleyview. But, I noticed that I have been gaining weight and those walks aren't making the difference that I wished they would.
I came to the realization that this was probably because I wasn't challenging myself.
Well, not to worry. I most definitely challenged myself today.
I walked up the Juniper Hill. Waittt I got more. I walked up the Juniper hill without stopping. 
Granted a couple times I slowed my pace but I am more than pleased with myself.
I felt the burn. Pretty much from the start. Felt the sweat. Noticed that that hill has got to be the grossest thing ever. There was garbage everywhere.
Two things that I regret:
1. Improper shoes. As you can see from the picture I was wearing flip flops. BAD IDEA. Cannot be good for my reoccurring case of shinsplints.
2.No water. The stupid thing is I was totally going to bring some..and then I forgot. The whole way up the hill I was dreaming of that cool water backpack thing that Matthew has. It's like a backpack with a pouch of water inside and it's got a tube that you put in your mouth. Anyway.


My head was this strange combo of burning up and cold all at the same time.
And I felt like I was going to throw up for most of the walk.


The faithful legs that just kept plodding along even though they were screaming to quit.

The first picture didn't show my pain well enough so I had to take another one.

:(

I realized today that I don't cry anymore.
It made me sad.

10 signs that you are a mom-in-training.

*Note* Some/all of these might have happened to me in my recent history.*

1. You go grocery shopping. Extra points if you did not buy anything you did not need.

2.You woke up at five a.m. and considered staying in bed 'til six a luxury.

3.You had a nap, and still feel like you could go to bed at 8 p.m.

4.You make bread, and feel like that is such a big accomplishment. Extra points if since you made 4 loaves you already are thinking of freezing one and giving away another.

5.You clean the kitchen just because you like seeing it clean. And have the initiative to take out the garbage because it is full.

6.You overcome your gag reflex and throw out all the moldy food in the fridge. Bonus points if you wash out the vegetable crisper as well.

7. As you are going about your business you see the job that you were supposed to do yesterday, and you do it without anybody telling you too.

8.You listen to music that nobody between the ages of 15-30 would even think of listening to.

9.You put the water on for tea, then forget about until two hours later when the water is cold again.(=) this one happens to my mom all the time...of course it scares me that I am becoming like her at such an early age.)

10. Instead of your old cravings of pop and candy. You are starting to be drawn to healthy things such as fruit and water.

Ahhhhh I'm at peace.

Have you ever felt that really peaceful feeling.
That feeling you only get once you have planned a big part of your life and you know exactly what you need to do in order to reach your goal.

Well, okay. It's only this summer I have planned but right now, the fact that I could even plan that much is pretty amazing.

So here is my plan.
1.Get school done by the end of May(which considering may is a really busy month for me..it's going to be hard. I have Homeschool convention, Choir trip to Alberta, Harold park and prolly a million other things.
2. Work a little extra in June to save up money for the summer..and drivers ed..
3.Go to camp for the whole summer (If they will have me.).

Just today I decided I wouldn't go to Kissm..because..well lots of reasons.
Which means instead of being here in July for the first time in over three years..I will be gone..forever. Of course none of you guys really care since most of you are gone too.

So maybe it's a good thing I will not be here for those three weeks because there would be nothing to do.

Umm.

Do you know what isn't a fun thing?
Staying up til 4:30 in the morning cause you know you can sleep in a bit longer than usual in the morning. And then having your cell phone start ringing at 8.
I would have been semi okay with that if it had been a friend and there had been a purpose.
But no. It was a wrong number. And then I could not get back to sleep after that.
And now I feel horrible and I just want to die.
But no I can't do that I have to go watch an hour and a half of boring karate tests of people I don't even know!!!!!!!!!
But I will see Kandace's test at the end so I guess that is a consolation. =).

So, I've been neglecting my blog lately.
I'm sorry. Well not really but..:).

I went on one of my alone date's last night. I went to Harolds again. I ordered the same thing as last time but it did not taste as good. Not at all. So I think next time I am going to Malibu. Since I have not been there in years.

I don't know what else to say.
My life is pretty blah right now.

Actually. I was in class yesterday and we were singing lalallalalala and then the bell rang. And I was so excited cause I had never heard the bell ring to dismiss us before since my teacher always lets us go early. Anyway. I just read that last bit and decided that I am a loser.

Kep. That's all I got for now.

Creeping 101

1.When creeping someones a.facebook page b.blog or c.msn profile it is always better not to let them know, but in the future bring up random facts that you know about them. Trust me, it will freak them out more.
Being the quiet(well not really anymore) small shy girl that I am, I always think that nobody knows me and that I just know everything about everybody else.
It's always really weird for me at like church when random people come up to me and they know my name...Yes, I don't really know where this is going..I've just been thinking about it lately.

So for Jill's sake I will write a little about camp.
1. The food was AMAZING! And trust me I ate so much. I went up for like 3rds and 4ths for every meal. I came home and weighed myself and I had gained two pounds..but I'm not going worry about that right now.

2.My campers were AMAZING! Compared to all the other cabins I've been in, this cabin was a dream. There was never really any problems and they got along..pretty well :).

3. The weather was..not amazing. Here's the thing. I came expecting summer weather since that is what it had been like in Kamloops but no. I get there and there's snow and mud and nastyness, everywhere. Not fun. So the whole week my shoes were soaked. One night it snowed and then one of the days it rained for a long time.

So there's basic jist of it without going into detail.

All you have to know is I'm happy and alive.

I am too tired to go into a long speal about camp and frankly I don't want to.

All I know is (0.) my body is on camp schedule (1.) my 'usual' bedtime is 9:30 (2.) I didn't get a nap today and (3.) I am freaking tired. So ask me in person if you really want to know.

For all you chai tea lovers..

Try a 'Large Steamed milk with 1 chai tea bag and two pumps of sweetener'.
Now I am not going to lie, it was not fantastic, but I think that's only because I was not in the type of mood for that sort of drink.
The only reason I had it was because I keep forgetting about it and I finally remembered today.
So yes.

Anyways. I'm off for my spring break camp adventure. I actually have a camera this time so there will be pictures. I hope I remember to actually take pictures. It will be Epic.

Here I am at 12 hours til I leave and I'm not even packed yet. I'm crazy.
I'm going to forget so much since I will be half asleep in the morning.

Anyway. Prayer would be appreciated. I am trying to put myself in the mindset of being a leader and having kids look up to me, it's slow going seeing as usually I am the one being the kid myself.

I'm sure it will be fine/fun. I just need to chillax. I will be taking my happy pills along, just in case.

Hot Chocolate is in the house.

*Gasp*

Someone just asked me if "Hot Chocolate" was my wannabe swear word.
*Shocked face*
I was offended, to say the least.
Still am.
Also considering never talking to that person ever again.
If they only knew what it really meant.

Hmm.

I have been told 4 or more times that I look like the girl from Twilight.
My cousin went and saw it in theatre and she said it was like I was on screen.

I'm not really seeing it myself.

School.

You know you are addicted when..

You go to your work place 5 days in a row and you don't even work full-time.

Well, I am milking the opportunity of living at my Grandparents house that is literally just around the corner. Friday when I got here I went down to do some training CD's, and ended up staying there quite a while. While I was there Danika asked me to pick up a shift for the next day. And I can't say no to people unless there is a legitimate excuse.

So Saturday I worked from 9-1:30. Then Cade picked me up and we went straight to Kyley's birthday party which was alot of fun. It was also very..let's say enlightening (but don't even ask I won't tell you). Came home. Stayed up 'til 3:00 in the morning*note* It technically was only 2 in my head* talking to people on facebook chat.

Woke up today..well presses the snooze button a couple times then turned it off. So much for getting things done this morning. And went down to Timmies again. Of course I had an excuse this time..I was getting breakfast for my grampa and food for my Sunday school class. So Yeah, later on I will be going to a work meeting and tomorrow I have to work. So there you have it.
Somebody who needs to be kept away from the coffee and donuts. My hoodie has been there so much it has the nasty coffee smell. It's so gross.

Some things you should know..

..But you probably don't #2.
*Note* As you might have noticed, I have not been blogging as much as is my usual. But I will have you know that I have been trying..I had like 6 drafts but they were all short and boring and most of the things I was talking about is long in the past so I took two of the 'information' ones and am mashing them together. So some of the facts might be a little outdated.
1. I take my tea black but my coffee double double.
2.I can live with only small amounts of sleep, but I prefer not to.
3. My eyes are exactly the same, like same prescription. So if I accidently switched my contacts I would be okay.
4.I used to get a chubby chicken burger every time I went to the mall and sour patch kids every time I went to the movie theater.
5.I am really shy when I first start thing and then as time goes by I get more confident and like my normal self.
1. Chocolate kisses start tasting funny if you save them so eat them right away....I guess that could go for real kisses too :).
2. I hit my head on the corner of my desk this morning, while I was still sleeping. It could have been really serious but it isn't, it just hurts like..nasty spiders though.
3.Disturbia is pretty much my favorite song right now. Every time it comes on a work(which is like at least once a shift) me and Taran start singing along.
4.I found $3.50 in the couch. It made me happy.
5.I love those days when I make everything clean and organized and I do everything I'm supposed to. But those days don't happen very often.
6.My hair is realllllllllllllly soft.
7.The other day my mother bribed me. I know. It was shocking.
8.Only wierdo's(like my family) has a turkey dinner in March.
9.I took off all the nailpolish on my toes today, and I counted 4 different colour layers.
10.When I am procrastinating from school I usually like to clean the house. Which always makes my mom mad, cause on one hand she wants me to do school but then on the other hand she likes having her house clean..=).
1. Hot smoothie with chai tea bag=the best thing ever!

I spy with my little eye..

So you know those things. The things that maybe you see one of your friends trying and then you think 'Oh, I should try that someday' and even if you really want to try you just never get around to trying it. Well, today I tried those things.
I guess I have already been doing it with Starbucks, but today was Timmies turn.

I didn't have much on the list.
1.Steeped Tea(yes it's true I've worked at Tim Hortons for over two years and I have never had steeped tea.)
2. Cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with butter.
3.Chai Tea with with cream and sugar.

So 1. It was okay. But very bland and boring. I guess cause I am just so used to earl grey which is basically the same tea but with more flavouring.
2. SOOO good. I don't like raisins but it tasted good anyway. So good that I took a second one home. Which was prolly a bad idea cause now there is buttery yuckiness all over my laptop.
3.Hmm well it was okay. It tasted very watery. It's good if you want something spicy and different. But I don't think I am a very big fan.

And just so you know. The picture is Seans birthday present. I just bought it today and I didn't get any wrapping paper so I just wrapped it in Tim Hortons packaging.

I bought my freaking grad dress!
I am so happy.
Although it needs to be altered and fixed so it is a little less poofy.
But I am happy, and that's all that matters eh?

Confessions of a Shopaholic.

AHH!!!!!!
It's like the best movie ever!
Well, technically I don't know yet but I am almost positive it will not disapoint.
I'm probably going to it on Valentines day..I can't wait.

:)

I love laughing.

As much as I love this picture I look kind of wierd.
But I am putting it up anyway so applaud my braveness.


*Note* This picture is not my own. I am not trying to copyright infringe or whatever you call it.

Today was pretty awesome.

I went to the career fair at the university in the morning.
I didn't really decide what to do with my life but I got some options.
I was seriously considering being a police officer but Josh started laughing when I told him so that kind of squashed that dream. Thanks Josh.

Then I went to skating. And I actually skated. But my skates are pretty uncomfortable, and my foot still hurts from my burn.

After that I went to my store and saw the damage.(I told you guys that my store got revamped right?). It is going to take alot of getting used to.

I went to McDonalds for lunch and I got a double cheese burger(of course). But, note to self. Never let mother pick where we are going to eat. There was a slightly annoying man seating by us and he kept telling us jokes that were not funny at all. My mom kept laughing at them out of pity, but I told her to stop cause that was making him tell us even more.

Then I went to Choir. I actually knew alot of the people and I signed up to buy chocolate chunk cookie dough. And yeah. I don't want to bad mouth the choir..it was..okay. The songs were really easy..or maybe I'm just to perfect :P.

Came home. Spent a couple hours here and then I went to the mall tonight while my parents were in a movie. I was looking for a grad dress. But I couldn't really find anything. So I spent about an hour and a half in thrifties..cleaning up and folding clothes and such..and dancing along to music(me and Robin waltzed to an Avril song).

Came home. And thats my day.

Sidenotes:
1.My mom finally phoned a fix-it guy about finishing our bathroom.
2.Coke and mint gum do not mix well.
3.I bought some pink grapefruit body lotion from the body shop and it smells soooo good.
4.I'm not good at finishing songs.

I'm in love.

Well, no. But I have that smile. The one that won't leave your face.

Ahem.
The power of a kind word.

I felt terrible today. Like really bad.

But let's rewind.

I sent one of my friends a note in the mail. And he/she was expecting it so when he/she got it today he/she texted me.
"I got it. Just about to open it."
I replied "It's not special."
And then Awww. This is the text I got back
"Sure it is. It's from you"

Sorry if that sounds lame but it made my day and now I can't stop smiling..
