First post in March!

Well, I guess technically I have a lot to say after my week at home... so I'll sort of give you guys an ever so exciting rundown on it all!

Firstly, I spent the day in Winnipeg with Tiff Lazar (lifeguard from Simonhouse) and had a great time. I got to do some much needed shopping, and spend a few hours at her dorm house (the guy who owns it is an artist and it's like living in a travel themed art museum, it's just too cool!). I also got to sit on a bus and ride it aimlessly for over an hour, something I've always wanted to do! So I get to scratch something off of my "before I die" list... yes! Then I got onto the bus for Thompson, it was packed. P-A-C-K-E-D! They even had to send people back to wait for the next morning's bus! So it smelt, and was loud, and I fell asleep and didn't care at all until we got to Thompson!

THEN I got to see my new house for the first time... it was sort of exciting, going home but not knowing where I lived :P. As we pulled onto the street, I definitely started laughing at this one house that stuck out from the others because it was a bright teal colour... sort of a barf blue. And then we pulled into it's driveway. Haha. Oh life, I adore you. Anyway, I like it, it's set up nicely, a little bit cold, but eh, it's Thompson, right? So I got to sleep for a bit, and wash up to remove the stinky bus smell! Then I went shopping at Giant Tiger to buy ugly tacky clothes that were on sale for really cheap! I bought a zebra costume for a baby... yup. And I looked darn hot in it too! Mind you, I had to cut it into seperate pieces in ordere to wear it, but you get the idea. Maybe I'll post pictures on facebook!

We wore our tacky outfits to the Youth Group that night, where I was introduced to the new Youth pastor couple... they're PERFECT! Musical, young/newlyweds, ANNNNNND the wife LOVES Gilmore Girls! God is SOO good, lol. He made us wait, yes, but then WHAM-O life gets awesome! I love them and can't wait to get to know them a bit more when school's out. (Rabbit trail #1 - I can't believe I'm done school in 6 weeks.. what the chotch is up with that!). But they were a ton of fun, and looked at me with the look that said (remember I'm wearing tacky clothes with an 8-month old's zebra costume a-top them "when we have kids, she is kept far away". But that's ok... they'll warm up to me, they always do :P.

The rest of the week was pretty good too, I got to sit in on Band class and Choir, sit in on Mr. Audets gr.11 comp class AND READ SHAKESPEARE! It was definitely a highlight for me, lol. I also got to whisper all the answers, *sigh* I love Shakespeare! Anyway... this is a rabbit trail in and of itself!

I talked to Debbie and realised that if I left thursday night (it was thursday night that I talked to her, lol) I could make it into Brandon right ontime to see her and a few people, so I hopped onto the bus. Now, things get interesting. We had to stop and turn back after abou 45 minutes because we realised we didnt have enough fuel to get to Winnipeg. AND the bus was cold enough that my lips/fingers went blue and I could see my breath. No joke, the coach couldn't maintain heat, and the bus sent to meet us from Winnipeg took it's sweet time. Haha. Needless to say, I was one of the few people who both got on and off the bus healthy, whereas the rest were coughing and sneezing and unhappy with their newly aquired colds (suckers!).

At Brandon I got to meet/hang out with Debbie's friends. It's Joyce's birthday on Sunday (I believe) and so we took her out for supper, and later on to go dancing at a bar. I got to go to a bar! It's been so long since I got to dance it up, so I had a great time. No worries, I stayed sober, lol. But seriously... it was just SO great to be able to dance around and have a great time. Apparently my moves have gotten a bit better though, because I (and a guy who was dancing with me and her friends) got to go up onto the stage beside the Dj and work it! Haha, it was pretty fun. The guy later brought up this conversation after a few hours of dancing and picture taking:
Hot guy: "So... I have a hotel room.."
Myself (with a sexy face on, hehe, just for emphasis and a laugh for myself!) :"Really? Well, I hope it has a t.v. hotty, because I'm not like that ;).."

It was pretty funny, lol. He was a nice guy though, and a pretty sweet dancer! He did the white boy breakdance moves, lol, too funny! Anyway, after that, I got onto a bus and came home to Caronport. It was a looong ride, but eh, I was so tired I slept through most of it anyway! So yes, I had some fun adventures and essentially an amazing week! Now it's back to midterms and final papers that are all due, CRAP!
