I like the fireplace!

I went up to the cabin on Thursday, just like I said I was going to...
I have discovered that Vance thinks it's extremely funny to scare me (a non-swimmer) by rocking the canoe in the middle of the lake. I, not surprisingly, find it much less funny.
On Friday evening we were joined my Graeme, Julianne, Jill and Sharon. Dancing up the hill to the lighthouse was a highlight of the evening (haha, pun!!, get it?), as was marching about with JA to good ol' Johnny Horton, and the many beers that came before and after....
After a hearty breakfast and a good deal of coffee on Saturday morning, Graeme, JA and Sharon went back to Saskatoon, leaving one of Sharon's socks and Jill behind.
Jill and I continued the lakiness with an excellent afternoon of corn on the cob and MXC, followed up by an excellent evening of cribbage, Patrick Swayze and my fire...
A fire that was so roaring we wore shorts and had every window and door in the place open.

That was my weekend, so for any of you with any interest in fashion history, I shall leave you Hairiffic!

"I'm wearing panties. Are you wearing panties?" And also YIPPEE!!!

I babysat my 2 year old niece, Sam, and my 4 year old nephew, Nick, today. I love babysitting them, but OH MY GOD AM I TIRED!!! They can be a little, um, trying sometimes.
Sam is just about done potty-training so she's a bit obsessed with panties right now. She informed me that she was wearing panties, inquired if I was wearing panties, and then demanded proof! Again!
I have also discovered that Sam is scared of dinosaur skeletons and lizards.
Nick told me that I "don't let Vance cook, even if he wants, but that's okay, because he can't cook anyways". When I asked him how he decided this, he said he was just kidding, and that I "probably do let Vance cook if he wants". (Note how he never said he was kidding about the other part?)

Of course, my exhaustion is compounded by that Sharon and Jill kept me out too late last night at a funk show at The Bassment... It made me wish I had the confidence to wear a sexy black slip with red trim as a dress - boo. Also it made me wish I could sing and/or was incredibly sexy.

Now for my YIPPEE!!!
I just found out my Arch 112 final mark and it's 93%!!! Holy crap! I've never done that well in any university class before! And probably never will again! I'm very happy! Wheee!!!

Well, I finally gave in

The day has come... I decided to build myself a blog.
I decided that interesting things DO occasionally happen in my life, and maybe some of you would like to know about them... Wishful thinking, I know.
When I'm busy in school my blog may be updated about as often as Dust In The Balance , but we'll see...

It's been sort of an up and down couple of weeks... But I'll only tell you about my happiness for now!
My happiness is that I'm done summer school and don't have to go back to regular session until September 8th!!
Also, I'm likely headed to my dad's cabin for a couple days later this week for lots of canoeing and reading and plus-plus-ing. Yay plus-plus!
Yesterday, Cayley and I walked the route of the 10km Terry Fox run and I don't even hurt today... I'm in better shape than I thought!! Whoo-whoo!
