Day 51

Well today was a little nuts, or maybe I'm just nuts.

I went into Wendy's freezer to put the freezies I had bought the kids in there and low and behold this scared the bejeeses out of me!

I'm used to seeing geese flying in V's or pooping everywhere... but this is the first time I've met one in a freezer!

Day 50

Hiya

Typical Sunday: I stayed home today but I worked a lot on the choreography for tomorrow. I have the hip hoppers piece done and I have yet to do the tween's. I bought freezies at the Northern Store today for the kids tomorrow.

I also got some stuff for Austin's birthday. I got him a $14 steak for dinner. I didn't get one for me bacuse I don't appreciate steak enough to spend that much. I went to get cherry pie filling for the black forest cake and they didn't have any! Luckily i know Wendy has some so I'm gunna buy it off her tomorrow. I also got 1L of whipping cream for $10, a 3 pack of apple juice boxes for $3, a travel size bug OFF deep woods for $10, a tiny container of raspberries for $5, and a jug of Mr Clean for $10. CRAZYNESSS. Aus wanted orance creamsicle ice cream too but of course, they didn't have any. I was also going to buy 9" cake pans but the were $8 each so I'm going to just borrow some from Wendy.

I got called in to work last night so I couldn't have the girls over for a movie. Austin said they showed up 45 minutes early! The showed up again today at 3 and I told them they have to wait until 7! I just don't have the heart to tell them they can't spontaneously hang around the base and knock on my door. I'm kind of nervous that after they come over for pop and chips and a movie that they might theink they are welcome here all the time! :S help Dr. Phil!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!! We miss you! HUGS

Lazy Siren

Siren can be very lazy. Sometimes she lays down at her water dish like this and sips the water out with her shnozz resting in the cup.

Day 48

Heloooo

I had a kind of lazy\busy day. I started off rolling out of bed at 10:30 and watching The Ugly Truth. Then I was on the computer for a bit and I started getting ansie because I needed to go for a run, and run I did. I did 4 km of running/walking intervals and one lap of cool down. My calves are really starting to burn on my runs so I try to use my quads more but I feel like I look stupid. When I go down south for the wedding I am FINALLY going to get some new runners. I really like these Under Armour ones, but there is too much white and I am worried that the dirt roads are going to ruin their whiteness in little time. I'm also going to get a pedometer and heart rate watch so I really know how far I am going, because right now I am eyeballing it.

After I showered I went to the Youth Centre to post the dance schedule. I'm teaching Monday's after babysitting. I start off with the Tinies at 6, then the Tweens at 7, then the Hip Hoppers at 7:30 until 9:30. It's going to be tough but I the girls were so excited at registration. I'm glad I can give them something to look forward to each week. At the end of class I'm going to record their dance and make a DVD for them when we are all done for them to take home. Hopefully it's something they can hold on to and look back on. On my way back from the Youth centre some of the nine year old girls found me and asked if they could come over. I said not tonight, but I invited them for a movie tomorrow night at 7:00. I want them to feel comfortable with me and know that they are welcome at my place if there is trouble at home. All of the kids here seem desperate for attention. They all say hi and ask you what your name is if they meed you on the street.

Since the girls are coming over I went to Kenny's and got a bag of Smart Food, BBQ chips, and diet Pepsi for them for the movie. I was shocked when it came to $19. I don't think this date will be a weekly thing.

Austin and I went to the restaurant for dinner tonight. I got a club with poutine and yes dad, I ate my salad for lunch so I was allowed the extra carbs. I EVEN asked for no mayo. It was nice because there were some of the locals there that we have met while we've been here. Everyone we have met is so friendly and nice!

Tonight Dillon is coming over to work out with Austin, and I am going to do my workout DVD while they are doing their thing. I also have to start choreographing the dances for Monday. Hopefully I don't work any doubles this weekend because I need the time to choreograph. Hope everyone had a great Friday! Enjoy the weekend!! HUGS

Day 47

Today was the first day I've gotten to sleep in for 2 weeks! and boy did I ever sleep in. I went to bed at 1 am and got up at 12 hahaha. Then I watched the entire Star Wars trilogy. When Austin got home from work we went to the airport to pick up our food order. Unfortunately he ordered 2 large boxes of pizza pockets and those are my weakness. So while he was on the phone with his mom I ate 3 :( he made pork chops on the little grill I got him [from Avon] and I ate a salad, feeling guilty. Then we ate the 2 pieces of pie he got from his meeting. Feeling incredibly guilty I tried to run but I had zero energy and didn't even make it to a full kilometer before I threw in the towel. Man do I ever feel like crap. I swear I am going to give away those pizza pockets. He managed to order those, but he forgot to order my frozen fruit for my breakfast smoothies. Ughhhhh.

Day 45

Morning!

So last night my cold got worse. I have more of a croop (sp?) cough and my sinuses are as congested as the DVP right about now. Today is the dance registration!!! I am super nervous because I don't know how many people are going to come out. Hopefully it's a success and not a big flop. I'm thinking I'm going to have to do some fundraising because Amy hasn't mentioned anything about money... I'm still going to ask her tonight though.

So I will be doing registration until 5:30, then I am going to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies for Steve, our cop friend, because he is moving back to Sturgeon falls on Thursday. If I was in the real world I would buy him a 6 pack of doughnuts.. get it? cops..... doughnuts... HA! anyways, we are all getting together tonight for a goodbye party so I'm bringing my cookies to that and saving him a little bag for the trip.

Since I have a busy day ahead of me I probably won't make another post until tomorrow. I will let you know how the registration goes! Miss you all!!! HUGS
