lock up your daughters!

Home! Finally! Well, I've been home for awhile, but haven't really felt like writing.

My last couple of days in town were bittersweet. I was busy packing for the majority of it--I had to repack things a couple of times just so that they would fit in my suitcases, and I had to expand both of them.

Thursday, August 6th: I had dinner with Meg. We went for sushi, which was de-lish. We went back to my house afterwards to pick up various kitchenwares, and made the expedition to Meg's apartment. I almost fell over multiple times under the weight of our bags, but somehow we made it there!

On Friday, I met Jen for lunch--My first time trying Indian food. It was pretty good! I bequethed the remainder of my kitchenwares to her, and I spent the rest of the afternoon stuffing the remainder of my belongings in my suitcases, backpack, and sobey's bag.

And then I was on my way! Steve met me at the airport, and then I was home :)

For the rest of the weekend, I caught up with Steve and family, and unpacked my bags--I'm STILL trying to find enough hangers for my clothes.

Tuesday, August 11th: The sisters and I decided to hit up Folklorama, the Slovejnian pavilian (like usual!) Fun times, great food, awesome dancing. Steve and Rees stopped by, too.

Thursday, August 13th: I worked in Winnipeg again for the first time! Yay for paying off my trip! Haha. That evening, the sisters and I went to Lo Pub to see Great Bloomers, the band I fell in love with in Toronto. We had a great time dancing it up: I definately worked off the blizzard I ate earlier that day! I think the girls had a good time as well.

On Saturday, I worked at the Stadium, Rifles Football and then a Bomber game. Such terrible weather, but at least it let up in time for the party at Hoho's house! It was great to see more family (family we don't see that often) and friends that I hadn't seen yet since returning from Toronto. We had an impromptu jam session later that evening, and that was lots of fun! Hope to do it again soon.

I worked again on Monday (Rod Stewart! That was a ridiculous show, with seat relocations and huge lineups) and have otherwise been takin'r'easy. Watching lots of movies, painting my nails, hanging out with Steve. Tomorrow Rach is taking me out for a birthday dinner (whoot for the Keg!), I work on my actual birthday (Thursday), and it's AC/DC on Saturday! Crazy!

Who knew there was a difference between hand rolls and maki rolls? Obviously, not I. Despite the fact that I ordered the wrong roll type, I am told the sushi was still delicious. So yay.

I spent way more than I should've (based on the hours I've been working) at my good friend Joe's on monday, but I'm happy with all of my purchases so that is the only thing that matters. besides, a lot of the stuff I bought is for the summer months as well. It's an investment in workplace attire/awesome shiz. I'm pretty much just offering to stay late all this week, haha, so that my paycheque will cover it; otherwise, I'll have to dip into my savings and I just don't want to have to do that.

I will have pictures up in the future, mainly because I want to e-mail Joe and say "please make me your spokesperson, since I'm doing it for free at the moment!"

I hope I will hear about my summer job soon---I wish to work at the same office as last summer, so hopefully everything comes up milhouse for that!

Since I've been working at the Brier all week and I've been too lazy to make dinner, I've been eating at the MTS Centre quite a bit...chicken on Sunday, Sushi yesterday, and likely more throughout the week. All day, I see people walk by with frozen yogurt.

Me: sweetups. i think tonight is TCBY night.
Heather: I should hope so.

ahahaha.

Time to sleep...er, go to class! later days.
