time does fly when one is on holidays. Well the next few months will be busy, a conference in November to organize, three grants to write for the park, a number of events at work and a surprise job for thestaffing business. I wonder what else is about to happen.

The past few days at Little Bear Lake were very nice, the weather was crap of course except for to day which typically was the day that everyone left. I hear the weather is going to be good for this weekend hot and sunny. I would certainly ahve liked to experience that weather when everyone wasvisiting me at the lake rather than this coming wekkend, but I guess those are the breaks as they say. It was nice to have all the girls together except for arianna, I do enjoy that time always seems somewhat less stressful when it is just the girls. Even if only for a few days. Next time Carmen will have to bring thebaby, so that will be different. We did get to pick quite a few berries, and Carmen showed everyone how good she was with lighting the fire with wet wood.

Oh My it is past midnight and here I am working away diligently on my consulting business. But I think it is time to call it quits or I will hate myself in the morning. Gee and all for $2500.00.

well, it is the dentist blahs again. Thank God for Advil. The last appointment from the tooth fairy and now all is well at least for a year or two. Of course someday that last vicious wisdom tooth hiding at the very back of my jaw under the last tooth, will show it ugly head and I will require major dental work. hmmm, can't wait for that day. hahahaha. I am looking forward to the weekend with the girls. Sounds as though everyone will be able to make it saturday till tuesday night. A few days at the lake should be relazing and perhaps thought provoking?

When one feels a need for change, then one must change.  I drastic and impromptu hair cut has certianly made me feel as though change, for the better, is on the horizon.  Finally.

The cooler weather is a relief after the scorching heat a few days ago.  At least we can sleep at night now.  The next house has a great deal of trees surrounding it, I don't expect the heat will be as great a concern there.  The yard is a good place to cool off, as opposed to this one which has a solitary tree between the yards.  Well, another one of those tv debut days, both crystal and I are now local tv stars, crystal on a commercial for kidzfest and I for the intro into Taste of PA coming up next week.  Nothing like watching your self on tv to pinpoint things like how overweight, or old one looks.  Perhaps I should have taped it, then I could have replayed it every tiime I was hungry thus, effectively killing any appetite I might have had.  Oh well, such is life.  Perhaps I will visit the Herbal magic, vitamin store.

We are off on a movie adventure.  We are going to see the Cinderalla Story with Hilary Duff.  There are so few choices when you have pg under fourteen going to the movie.  We could have went to Shrek 2 again but it was only playing at 1:00, I suppose that means that it's run at our theatre is close to being over. I would rather see Spiderman two, but we think it may hve too much voilence for Crystal.  Well, the big move, the second in 60 days is coming up again at the end of the month.  This time we have a small old house, but it is only one block away from the new school and has it own yard with lots of trees . I am looking forward to moving away from the dog which continually craps in our yard after it jumps the fence and the crazzzzy neighbour who roles around in the gras at four o'clock in the morning pretending he is a dog.  hmmmm.
 

To blog or not to blog, that is the question.  After having been somewhat unmotivated to write short yet remarkable quips on line and display them for the entire world to view, I have determined that participating in this ritual may have some stress relieving qualities.   When reading for enjoyment is no longer possible due to an already time strapped agenda then perhaps a short jaunt spent in the writing zone can tear ones thoughts away from the next day's agenda or the present day's trials and tribulations.  Perhaps turning ones failures into a comic satire based ever so slightly on reality can remind one that the seriousness of one's mistakes is most pronounced in one's one mind.  When in reality the decisions that I must make on a daily basis are much less important than the decisions of one who must determine the life or death fate of another or the decisions of those who seek to survive when there is no food or clean water, yet my decisions seem to create such a great deal of torment constantly trying to determine the "right" move for myself and perhaps three or four others, trying to avoid the "wrong" decision so as not to be constantly reminded of that error.  Yet many wrong decisions are made everyday by many people who simply chose to continue on and shake off a wrong decision like yesterday's bad news.  ahhhh to seek a time of less stress and simpler decisions.

Well, the first step on the way to owning the house is complete. The previous owners and myself have come to an agreement on a value that we are both comfortable with. They are leaving me the fridge, stove, two sheds, all the drapes and curtains. The inspector will tell me if there is any trouble with wiring and the such. I already know it needs to be painted, but we have an early possession date and I would have time to do that before we moved in. All in all a very good deal for the area of the city and should be worth substantially more once it is painted and the velevet wall paper is removed. Not to mention the completion of a brand spankin new school only three blocks away. and Arianna's friends even live close by, Now the hard part, to make the deal work at the bank.

well, the early results appear to point to a minority liberal government. That is probably better than a Stephen harper Conservative majority. The conservative party is just a little too far out there on some of the issues. I saw another house yesterday, very very good location, nice yard, nice garage, new windows, old cupboards, old velvet wallpaper and very old paint, flooring ok, but would need to be replaced at some point, very nice layout though, new deck and big insulated and gyproced garage. Hmmmmm, what to do, what to do. I will have to decide tommorrow, if I want to put an offer on it or not.

Well, today was indeed an interesting day, starting with the crazy neighbour incident, the red light i drove thru, the interview from hell and finding out the person with the house I want to buy wants more than I am willing to pay. Thank goodness tommorrow is a new day!!!! Oh, yeah the interview from hell was for a job which pays more than I have ever made in my life, somewhere between $53,000 and $55,000.00 dollars.

I put an offer on a house today, hopefully it will be acceptable to the current homeowners, as it is a cute house with the right amount of space for us. We will need to put shingles on but I guess that is allright, since the inside of the house has been completly redone.

Tonight I will be overseeing the all Candidates debate for the Federal Election. I wonder if I shall be more enlighted once the event is over. I doubt it, my choices are usually based on who I won't vote for and then whoever is left is who gets my vote. The process of elimination I believe it is called. Tomorrow my real estate agent is back from his trip out of town, I am quite excited actually about looking at the house that we found tucked away in a quiet area of the east flat. Well tommorrow will tell if the inside is as acceptable as the outside.

Aah the rain, and more rain, and more rain. It was certainly the weekend for rain. Just a little too cold to really enjoy the camping experience, even in a camper. Crystal didnt seem to mind though. Now back to the city, back to work, back to looking for a house. I wonder how the job interview will go on Thursday. It is indeed looming closer. Well, I suppose in three days I will have my answer.

For some reason today has been Thursday for me. It has been Thursday all day, in fact I've told many other people today was Thursday as well. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I have an In Motion meeting tomorrow which I am trying not to forget about. The meeting to make the masses move, a program to make us all fitter, reminds me a bit of the old participaction program. Just a new twist on the title. We shall see how the meeting goes tomorrow (the real Thursday), so far I have been less than impressed with their marketing tactics and less then impressed with the local coordinator.

I have a job interveiw next week. Director of Administrative Services Cooperative Health Centre. I cetainly hope the fact that is has such a long title means that is has a bigger salary.

Tommorrow the high speed and max are finally going to be connected. No more tying up the phone line or dealing with the slow pace of dial up. yay. I've sent my resume off today to a new more lucrative position. The deadline for applications is tommorrow, so if they are interested in interviewing me it shouldn't take long to hear from them. fingers crossed

There is only thing in life that is certain and that is change. Change is constant, why is it then that I feel so stuck at the moment. Stuck and unable to change certain things, unable to move forward, provide a safe environment or to enjoy the things that we do have. Why is it that everything seems so hard at the moment. I think I need some uplifting and motivational reading. Perhaps flow and synchronicity can be returned in harmony. ???

Why do you suppose our society has conditioned us to believe that people must exist in partnership. Partnerships where one individual is continually forced to put up with the obnoxious behaviour of another human being. To assist them in their search for ?? happiness? satisfaction? is futile, simply because they prefer to be unhappy or one wouldnt need to assist them to find what they dont want to begin with. Obnoxiousness should be considered an official form of abuse. It is certainly annoying. But then the bottom line is, we all have choices to make and we must deal with the consequences of those choices. Perhaps time will come when a new direction must be chosen, it is unfortunate that often the choices of one individual will have an affect on many.

I have a tooth ache, imagine that, you go to the dentist to fix your teeth and then they hurt when you get home. hmmm. I'm tired from listening to the neighbours try to kill each other in the middle of the night and we missed the hook up my high speed max tv internet guy again today. I think I am going to officially complain to Sask tel about the inefficiency of their tv/internet business. Do they think the whole world revolves around when their men can go to your house and hook up your internet or what!! I think the tooth thing is making me a little testy perhaps it is time to publish this post and take a nap.
