Stupid weather

I can't believe this (although I should really, I've lived here almost 2 years now), it was +20 just a week ago, I was wearing t-shirt, capri's and sandals. Today it's snowing and -1, it SUCKS.

On the bright side, I'm having my Snr. High care group over tonight to watch a film, so that should be fun.

Mid Morning

So I'm quickly taking a 5 min respite from filing, organising, computer dry eyes and such.

We moved in to out new house at the weekend, so good to move in to our own home. But a BIG bummer was that mice had taken up residence in the room our stuff has been stored in over the winter, and chewed, pooped and wee'd all over the rug David (my step-dad) had given me as an 18th birthday gift ... when we found it I cried ... but I think it's salvagable (if that's spelt right), but I'm still gutted, I still miss David, it still makes me sad.

One step up the property ladder

Yes, we have bought ourselves a house. A townhouse condo to be exact (3 bedroom terrace - Brits). We are very excited and will be moving in the next week or two.

Man, it is stressful buying a house, and flipping complicated. I don't know how people can do this more than once or twice, seriously.

But, YAY we own a house......WOOHOO!

Whirlwind

As in I feel like I'm in one. This week has been CRAZY! The staff that were on Calbreak are all back now, and making the office alive again, and we're all running around like headless chickens trying to get stuff ready for the banquet (which is going to bo SO GOOD, by the way).
Plus me and Lindsay have been making a big decision this week, which has been a tad stressful, but watch this space for further up dates on that one.

Can someone please tell me what the deal is with repeats over here??? In the UK, you usually know when a show is being repeated, you know the whole series is being repeated, whereas over here you switch the TV on expecting the next episode of the new show and can be greeted with something you only watched in the last 3 monthes....this happened to me TWICE last night...it's disgraceful! So I ended up going to bed early last night, just after 9, which may not have been a bad thing as I was out like a light fairly quickly, and felt pretty refreshed this morning.

Banquet

Well, now that the Calbreak is over, we are focusing on the annual fundraising banquet, which is just over a week away ... YIKES! So we're all working hard. I've been making so many calls to people, I always get the impression, when I first talk to them, that they don't know why I have called them, I think they think I'm telesales or something, must be the accent ;-)

The office is coming back to life, after last weeks hibernation. Some of the staff is back in the office and I think we will be back to full numbers tomorrow, including.... wait for it ... KRISTIN ... YAY!!! So excited, although she isn't starting properly until she's raised most of her support, so...

Speaking of excitement, were looking at houses right now. I'm feeling a little anxious about this, as it is a lot of money and a HUGE commitment, but we're really sick of throwing away money on rent, when we could actually afford a mortgage now. So pray we find the right place OK? Thank you!

I can see blue

Although getting up at 6.20am is definately not a favourate thing of mine, it does have it's bonuses, like hearing the birds, and seeing bright blue skies, and the office still being peaceful for a while. A bonus of living in Saskatoon is having so many sunny days, I miss home, but not the rainy days or gray skies.
Right now I'm just getting excited about it not being minus anything, that you can walk out of the door without wearing a huge ski jacket!
Bring on flowers, the smell of fresh cut grass, the splash of sprinklers, and warm sun on skin ... I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT SUMMER!
Anyways back to the start of my work day, the crazy boys will be here soon, best get moving.
