Howdy from Sherkston

Not much happened this week, which is what we were hoping for. Jon and Amy came up to visit Monday night, poor Madie lost her cinderella, which i found yay!! Tuesday , we went to NY, to the Walden Galeria, more specifically, Steve and Barry's, got a ton of stuff for super cheap as well as Victorias Christmas gifts, im about half done my christmas shopping already!

Watched alot of movies this week...Sex and the City, What happens in Vegas, Miss Conception, Baby Momma, X-Men 1, Don't mess with the Zohan and Iron Man. It's been a good week lol. I love the weeks we can spend here , especially in September, there's basically no campers in the parks, and back where we are in the Trailer the people behind us aren't here...they're Portugese and VERY loud. We really just stick around the trailer, watch TV, go golf card riding , yesterday we went down to the beach. I forgot my cord to be able to upload pictures maybe i'll post one when we get home. I think we're gonna have another Campfire tonight, and since bill and Candace aren't coming after all, i have extra Hershey bars that i bought...which means MORE SMORES! It's nice having the fire, just sitting outside, some rum and coke, and music...smores...it's great.

I guess it's all back to business Monday, oh well,...got a few days left !

Apparently this fresh air makes Al snore more. Apparenlty i beat the guy up lol. I have also realized there is a HUGE difference between a queen size bed and a Double. A Double just doesnt' cut it!

Im on Vacation!! woohoo!

Yup, vacation started today. So here i sit in pj's doing laundry and packing and cleaning...sort of. I keep taking breaks. We're going to the ti Cat game tonight with a relative of Al's who's visiting from Scottland, and Al's dad. Tomorrow i'll go and use my gift cert for a mani/pedi that Al gave me for my birthday. Then Sunday...off to Brampton to Al's aunt's house for a family Reunion....then after that off to Fort Erie...Sherkston Shores for the week . I can't wait to be away from here! Bon fires, movies, just relaxing, BBQ's...Some friends Jon and Amy (ang you remember them) they may pop in again monday night, then we have Bill and Candace and their two kids coming up for a few days, not sure what days, then probably Rachel coming up on Saturday. So now, it's like what to pack??? will it be cold? will it be hot?? im using a huge suitcase lol

Interview

I applied for a different position at work this week and i have that interview on Thursday. I don't hold much hope for the position in all reality, simple reason being that at least 3 others have applied as well who have had time to do back up in that position. It's for SCA, our Second level support on the floor....answering rep's questions and taking escalations. I was told today though that there's 3 positions open, not 2. The hours would not be as good as i have now but it'd be a little more money and it's a change. I need the change right now. Ive done over 2 years of Billing and Collections calls and need my brain to work a different way and would like to be support now. I did side by sides today the first half of my shift then the second half i actually logged in and took support calls. I hope i get it, but at the same time...don't feel the hope...you know? this way no dissapointment. We'll see, i should find out by time im back from vacation...which is in 3 days....Sherkston here we come!!

Stuff.

So we have signed a contract with a Photographer for the wedding. We will be getting our engagement photos taken in Oct or November depending on how fast the leaves fall. We'll be doing them at Sherman Falls or some people know them as Smiths Falls..here..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Falls . so that's one thing out of the way, the invite list keeps getting bigger and bigger...and my stress level gets higher and higher.
