Summer bliss

***Everyone note that I have two new additions to the list,
two of my favorite girls,
Alison and Lynnel!!!***

A Toast:

To fun girls, good times and great blogs! A world apart, yet a click away!

Hahaha, I think I may have copied that from like a commercial or something? I don't know. I laughed outloud at myself there. Hello, marketing career?


I am done exams! I can't believe I had four in a row, it was absolutely exhausting. These last 4 weeks have been nothing but sheer brutalness. However I am just about done. By Wednesday, I will have everything for this year completed. This is simply the best news I have ever heard.

Mr. Kennedy is a superstar. He is giving me a third chance to complete my World Religions course, which I have put off for a long long time. I didn't even ask for it, he just told my mom to tell me to come and see him about it! That course has been a black cloud over my head for almost 2 years because I just never got around to finishing it and that is sort of unlike me. It was just a low priority on my list I guess.

Pretty soon I will stop talking about school on here, I bet you all can't wait!!!

Instead I will talk about funny old people who call Blue Cross, and hot summer weather, and bbq's and camping adventures! That is my summer line up. Jeff and I are hoping to go to Banff this summer, but I don't think I'll get enough time off at work for us to really have a great trip there, so up North will do. I've never camped at Waskesui so maybe we'll go there one weekend! Me and Lynnel and Janelle were talking on Sunday about an ALL GIRLS CAMPING TRIP.... anyone in?!! Girls that is ... it would be like our highschool girls trip with Tina and Regan! But funner because we are older and cooler now. And better campers too I'm sure. Pizza bushpies here we come!

Just no squirrel bites this year please... that was the grossest thing I have ever seen, last year camping with some friends... Barrett trying to coax the squirrel closer, closer, closer, GRABS IT, the squirrel flips out and goes to attack mode, HUGE mother bite into Barrett's hand, Barrett cries out in pain and flips the squirrel hanging on by its freaking TEETH back and forth, back and forth, goes flying into the fire and squeals at it burns to death!!!!

It makes me sick just writing about it. I had to go for a walk by myself that afternoon, to ensure that I wouldn't:
a) Faint in front of everyone
b) Puke everywhere in front of everyone


Luckily I did neither, but I am forever afraid of squirrels. Evil rotten beasts!!!

And now for my favorite...Trivia Blogsuit:

Which three cities in the world receive the most direct flights
into their airport each year?

Even if you don't know, take a wild guess!

Thanks for the Props Kristin! I got no good guesses on the trivia, but I will tell you that I would be in to camping with you girls, if it was at a 5 star hotel, pretty much in any urban centre. Let me know.

Alison, that is SO NOT CAMPING! I can hardly believe you!! haha. Although I was once like you too. I think you'd be a great camper, you just need to give it a fair chance. There's nothing like waking up all sweaty in your tent because the sun has been baring down on it all morning... lovely!

Jenna I can't wait to go rollerblading either! I'm so happy I got them for my birthday! I should take them to Prague with me and get really good at it!

Okay the answer to my trivia....

London
New York
Tokyo

Linoleum said...
