March 29, 2006 I had an awesome day at co-op today! Like wow. In the morning I found out that my teacher is going to let me do my idea for a field trip. (it's for a project at college, plan a field trip at your placement) So I was quasi worried about it b/c I needed to talk to my teacher at Niagara before I could do anything, and than the strike happened. But I got it all worked out. Yeah! Then Miss Moore (that's the grade one teacher that I work with) over March Break she had gone to Florida and she scuba dives. She got a whole bunch of Shark teeth. She cleaned them up and made necklaces. She even made one for me. So now I have a shark's tooth necklace. Sweet. I've always kinda wanted one. Then in the afternoon my teacher had to be at a workshop and something weird happened with the supply teachers. So basically about 5-10 minutes before we had to let the kids in the teacher shows up, she was scheduled for the grade two class but they send her down b/c there was nobody. So I was explaining the routine to her and she was like "do you want to do the routine?" and I was like "yeah!" So I got to teach today!! It was awesome!! Like for real. I did the whole thing and I loved it, and the kids responded pretty good. And it felt so right. I'm even more convinced that I want to be a teacher. What a great day. The icing on the cake of course would be this absolutely beautiful weather!! Wonderful!! I also got tons of homework done tonight. I did homework for 3 straight hours. Finished my craft, just about finished my field trip write up, and did a bunch of research on Puss in Boots. Tomorrow morning I'm going to school early with two of my classmates and we are going to watch the movie for our one class and start doing that review. (might as well get a head start on everything) I've got a lot of homework but if I buckle down I know I can do it. I've got a great boyfriend supporting me on it and encouraging me. (thanks Grant!) He's been awesome lately. Today we sat down and had our discussions. Turned out pretty good. I did my best to stay on the topic at hand, kept my rabbit trails to a minumum, and tried to organize my thoughts in as clear a pattern as possible so that my words would come out clear and organized. Grant said I did pretty good lol. I love that boy. So all in all it's been a great day. I hope that my few down days are over now. It is much better when you're feeling joyful and happy. So I bid you all a happy day!
March 28, 2006 I should really be doing homework right now but my brain is insane right now and I'm having a hard time focusing and concentrating on it right now. I found the word to describe how I've been feeling the past couple of weeks. The word is discouraged. At first it was b/c school was on strike and I did not know when we were going back. Now that I've had my first day back I got some grades and I keep getting bad grades. It's so discouraging!! I'm not doing so well this semester. And the amount of homework that I have piled upon me today for the next month, oh my gosh. I don't know if I'll leave the house!! It's sooo much! Also, youth. I love it, but lately the kids have been disrespectful. (please pray I feel it to be a spiritual attack) And I've been having some problems with a co-leader whom I don't feel is supporting me and it just hurts when they dis my games, or they complain or the fact that they just seem to be more like the youth then a leader. When I feel like they are not reliable or even very trustworthy, it's discouraging. I have this vision and dream about youth. And I think most of the leadership has the same one and is on board with me. But the one person, I don't know, I just feel so unsupported and so upset. I planned an activity tonight on request of some of the kids in the group. We were watching Veggie Tales. Okay so maybe not everybody wants to watch it. But when the leader is the FIRST person to leave the room and not come back, yeah, half the kids followed him in the next 20 minutes. I had to send another leader out to make sure they weren't doing something stupid in the church b/c lately they have been sooo irresponsible and completely disrespectful of the building. So yeah, I'm frustrated and really discouraged. Grant prayed with me on the phone this evening after youth and it really helped. Oh man, don't get me started about what happened on the weekend! I think it was pretty safe to say that I was devestated. It's okay now and I actually dealt with it properly. I felt that bad but the first thing I did was pray about it and left it at Jesus's feet. Okay so I had to do it like almost 10 times a day, but if that is what it took, it was better then me trying to deal with it myself. It totally got worked out Monday night and I felt 1,000 times better, in fact I had a massive bout of tension reduction which completely resulted in tears but it was okay. At least work isn't really going that bad. And I have been hanging out with Erin a lot which has been awesome. She is soo funny, she always brightens my day. And I'm so proud of her! She's really impressed me. I don't want to come across as complaining, that is definitely not my goal. I just find that often times when I write things down I feel so much better. It helps me connect things and figure out plans of action. Please pray for me, I'm going to call the other leader this week. I'm scared, I won't lie about it. I'm actually completely freaked out and worried. But I can't let it sit. It's gotten worse. Shane had a good idea today that I should talk to Wes and Briar and get some advice from them. Very good idea. I really respect them and they are quite wise people. I know my plan of action, I need to pray more. Please pray with me.
March 27, 2006 So I'm going back to school tomorrow!! Yea! That is such a relief. And I don't have a psychology test tomorrow like I was fearing! All the teachers have to make modifications in their plans for the semester. But were not going to lose our semester so I'm happy about that. But it will definitely feel weird being back in school after being out for a month! It was funny. I had gotten a few crappy grades back and then I was all ready to work hard and go back to school and they go on strike. Not impressed! So life is okay right now. The sun is shining outside. How can you feel so horrible on such a beautiful day? I haven't been able to sleep well the past two nights. Very frustrating not being able to sleep well. Especially b/c I always sleep good. I've been praying but I think something else is bothering me. Oh gosh. I just have to keep my focus on what is important, and what is important is God and what He wants for my life. I just need to listen to Him and follow His way. And if I keep telling myself that it will happen. I'm having a hard time these days, I don't think it's the letting go factor, I just think it's the volume. There are of course some actions that I need to do but I haven't had the chance to do some of them and I think they are weighing on my heart and my soul a lot recently. I had a good coffee with somebody on Saturday and that was good. My talk with Pastor Jeff on Friday went really well too. He gave me some good advice and some good direction. It was also good to ask him to pray for me and for somethings involving youth. It was also really encouraging to hear him say that were doing a good job with youth. I really love doing youth and my heart is totally in it. I guess I've just had some issues come up in youth and I guess God is stretching me b/c in my new leadership position I have to deal with them. I can't just shrug it off and let it slide. It has to be dealt with and there really isn't any other person who can do it b/c it involves me and it's something that I see and it's affecting me (I think I used the right one Joanne lol). Such is life I suppose. So yeah, I guess it's a volume thing. I'm good at letting go but I guess I'm just trying to sort out what I need to let go of and what action God has told me to do about something. Grr, I'm just confused right now. "Gather my insuffencies and place them in your hands." -Relient K. Good words I just heard on a song. Okay, I know what I need to do. Have a sunny day.
March 23, 2006 I'm trying very had to remain calm and netural. I've been praying so much so I guess I just need to keep praying. *Robin looks at her life, sees end of rope and starts to panic* lol. I think God's doing something in my life right now and it's way above my head. The number and seriousness of the things I have to deal with are things I've never come across before and they have such a "wow" factor towards them that my first instinct is to pray about them. Which makes me really happy b/c I know God does such a better job of it then I do. I have had some amazing talks with Joanne recently. And Grant too for that matter. I find those two are people that insert logic into my life. I remember how Joanne used to be afraid to be real with me. But then I told her that just b/c I say or suggest something doesn't mean that I think I'm 100% right or that we have to do what I suggest. She told me she appreciated that. I find the people in my life that I look up to the most are the people who are strong and aren't afraid to talk to me honestly. I think of my friends Wes and Briar. So often they would talk to me and tell me what I was doing wrong, and yes I would get hurt by it. But I would change it. I am always shifting, I'm like shifting sand. To quote Cademon's Call "My faith is like shifting sand so I stand on grace." I keep God as my focus and that won't ever change so the things around me are always moving. I feel stangnant if I stay in the same place for more then 2 months. I mean and sometimes my changes aren't necessarily the best for myself but when I have caring and loving people in my life who aren't afraid to tell me that I do see it and I change. I mean I've definitely grown up to a point where I just don't let anybody tell me to change and I do it. (that's what got me into so much trouble with boys in the past) I just remember having so many talks with Seigi and whatnot when I was really upset b/c a friend said I was pushy and I was really hurt by that b/c I'm not. I'm really not. I suggest things and say things and I expect people to suggest and say things back. Often times the other person comes up with a better idea and we end up doing that. But I do like to defend my thing if I really want to do it, and if it's massively important I will end up doing it, maybe on a different day or with a different person. But I don't ever want people to be afraid of saying what's on their mind honestly. I can handle it. Yes I might get hurt, but no big deal. My heart has amazing healing proprities. And as Grant and I figured out when I cry about something it's equivalent to somebody saying "oh man that sucks". When I weep or sob then it's bad and I'm really upset. I often find crying is just me reaching the height of an emotion. But it is something that I'm getting better. God's really been improving my courage and it scares me. I hate rocking the boat, but it seems like no matter where I go these days I am rocking it. I'm pretty sure that I'm developing the gift of discernment and intercession. Which means that I just see things. And seeing as the gift is still forming I might not be sure what to do. Sometimes the gift of discernment, especially when it's paired with intercession is a call to prayer. Some nights I can't sleep until I pray for what is on my heart. I would never jeporidize relationships by saying something that would hurt people or possibly make them mad at me. And I never would want to say something that would cause a rift in a relationship. But sometimes I HAVE to say things b/c it is on my heart so much and I know it's God telling me to speak to that person. I'll never forgot Rod telling me in the summer that I would be the perfect person to do this kind of thing b/c I actually care about people. It stuck with me, b/c at first I was like, yeah no, I hate conflict and I hate rocking the boat, that I never would. But I have such good examples in my past that showed me how to do it in love. And I find Grant is a good sounding board for whether something is prayer bound or if I need to talk to somebody. He's really smart with that. He also encourages me to talk to people probably more then I would myself. So I'm taking Network in April which I think couldn't be better time b/c of what's going on in my life. So yeah this is some of what's been on my heart. I'm out.
March 22, 2006
Wow, today is Grant and mine's one year anniversary. It's been a year that I've been dating him now. I love that boy so much! So my school is still on strike, *sigh*. I really want to go back, and finish my semester. I should be doing some homework, I just haven't gotten around to it. (I know, I know, not good) But at least I still get to go to co-op. Today was good, I got to read my favourite story to the grade one class today. It was brilliant! I read the book "Nothing At All" by Wanda Ga'g. It's been my favourite for a while. Wow, my collection of children's books has doubled in the past month. My book order came in, sweet!! I now have the whole collection of Jillian Jiggs!!!! And Chapters was having a sale and I got The Giving Tree and The Balloon Tree. Oh and I got like so many other books with my book order. And at Headley's on St. Paul St. I got 29 books for $25! Score! So anybody out there, you got old children's books you don't want, feel free to donate them to me. I be much obligied!!! Thanks ya'll. Well I think this entry is done! Adios!
March 15, 2006 I am doing good. I've had a good week. Had a rough youth night on Tuesday. Actually Youth on Tuesday went very bad and I ended up being really upset. But I did what needed to be done, even though it was really hard. Some of the youth were being extremely disrespectful during a worship set that we were doing. I was very upset and I didn't feel like going out afterwards like we normally do. As Grant put it, they need to realize that their actions effect and have consequences on other people. So hard to stick to that. But I did. They definitely crossed a line that night. But it's over and I'm still excited about youth, and next week should be a lot of fun. I don't know what overcome me but recently I've been feeling awesome. I just have this new appreciation for people. I guess some priorities inside of me shifted. Today I prayed and I gave God all my friends. It feels better knowing that God is going to take care of everything. That He might use me if He sees fit but knowing that He is worried about my friends and looking after them just makes me feel so much lighter and happier. In a sense God has given me my mission field, and it's in my own backyard! And "letting go" of my friends so to speak helps me just love them and with God's direction know which friend and how to reach out and help them. If I worry about all my friends at the same time I get very weighted down almost. And it's nobody's fault. I have the unfortunate habit of owning people's problems. But today I just let them go and gave them to the one person who can fix everything. Lol, funny how I let my problems go and I wasn't even aware that I hadn't let go of my worries about my friends. I can't fix anything. But I can pray. I feel lately that some of my friends have been under much spiritual attack. I write this not to scare, freak out or to stir something up that's negative. I say this b/c I want people to be on their guard. To quote Mad Eye Moody "constant vigilance!". I encourage you to put on the full armour of God everyday. The enemy never rests so why should we? The best part about this war is that we know we've won! We have the power and the means to accomplish anything. So why do we so often fight and argue over such tiny little things that are not of any importance? Let's stop insulting and critizing people and encourage and uplift people. I think the world has enough negative in it, let's be different. Let's actually love our neighbours. And I'd say my friends are definitely my neighbours. I don't know, if you didn't notice I had a revelation, a shift in focus you might say. God is good, and He is constantly at work in me. I'm excited about the new change. To all my friends, I love you!!
March 10, 2006 I'm feeling sooo good!!! I had such a wonderful day yesterday. My lunch with Shane went so well!! And my afternoon was relaxing and, well mostly relaxing lol. I danced with my mom when she got home from work. And last night I went out with Briar. Oh man, it was sooo good to see her again. I know I missed her but man I really didn't know how much I missed her until I sat down with her and talked. It was a really good talk. I told her all about Grant, and she wants to meet him. Told her all about leading youth at Harbour and all the exciting things that have been happening. We also talked more into detail about what happened years back with me leaving the youth group and what not. I know back then I was devesated, and I was hurt so bad and I stopped talking to Wes and Briar for six months. (and in Robin time that's a long time lol!) Briar told me that she wasn't sure if we'd ever be able to talk, at least not for like 20-30 years. And then 6 months later I'm talking to them again. But that's the way I am. But we got more into detail about what happened. Like I had a very close relationship with Wes, it was weird, b/c the general rules of propriety regarding youth never seemed to apply to me. Cuz Wes and I were pretty close. And to me, it would have made the most sense to have Wes tell me everything. But talking to Briar last night I realized the reason they didn't use Wes is b/c they knew how much guys had hurt me in the past, and they didn't want another guy to really hurt me. Just hearing how much thought, how much prayer and how much concern was put into what happened it really made me realize how much they love me. I know at the time I was so embarassed and I was certain that if I told Briar what had happened she wouldn't talk to me again. So after the talk, I was torn, part of me was shocked, hurt and so mad at them. While the other half of me was missing them terribly. In six months the missing won over. Well I give most of the credit to that decision to Harbour. Some of the sermons the first few months of being there hit me like a ton of bricks. And I went through many people in my life that I had bitterness or was upset with and I fixed all of them. I can now say I am not upset nor bitter with anyone. And it feels WONDERFUL!! It was such a freeing thing. Man looking back I can see how much Wes and Briar cared about me, but my self-esteem problems were so bad that I just didn't see it. I couldn't see it. But I've done a lot of growing up and coming to talk with her now, it was awesome. But it was definitely more mature and we were at a different level. And I asked if we could try to get together once a month and she said yeah. I didn't think that was unreasonable and she agreed. (well she is pregnant again and she already has two little girls) Being a youth leader myself has really made me respect and admire the way Wes and Briar did youth. And if similar things happened in my youth I would have done a similar thing. Being in a leadership position is so different then any of the youth can even imagine. So to say the least I am doing splendid!!! I've needed a "Paul" so to speak. I think I have enough "Timothy's", and it was great to touch base with my old mentor. Okay, perhaps I need to clear things up about what I said about movie group. I was just really upset b/c I know that when movie group started it was about hanging out with your friends. We all got along, we were all willing to work together on things. I just feel like lately it's become more about watching movies and about what "I" want then about what other people want. I mean I look back upon the years and what are the things we still talk about and remember. It's not countless nights spend watching movies. It's the blackout beach party that we had, our random trip to Brantford, our hike down the gorge, our Thanksgiving party with the blue mashed potatoes etc. I want to be able to enjoy people's company again. I want us to actually be a group of friends not just this routine, boring, get together Saturday nights watch movies b/c I have nothing better to do group. I am a very relationship orientated person. Going to that group I was hurt b/c I felt that there was hardly any room for relationships to actually grow. And there is a good chance that b/c of who I am I would be more sensitive to it. But I still think that everybody would rather be friends and actually feel like a group and have some cohesion and a sense of togetherness then just the feeling of haphazardly thrown together. And I think we all need to work together on this. Maybe some old wounds and problems finally need to be dealt with. If we hold thing against each other it only hurts us. I had my talk with Shane, we are sooo good now. And I feel hordes better! Shane and I talked about this whole thing and he agrees with me and we want to make a change. So let's be friends first, and movies second.
March 9, 2006 I'm feeling really good today. I got to sleep in. But that's b/c my school's still on strike. Oh well. Then I went out for lunch with Shane to Boston Pizza. Such a great place!! Shane and I had a really good talk. God's been giving me courage that I've been praying for so I was able to say the things that were on my heart without hesitation. And they were well recieved. It was a good clarifling talk, one that was really needed and I'm glad that it happened. I dunno, I just feel so good today. I think part of it might be the fact that I've done some dancing the past two days. Excersicing always makes you feel better lol. And tonight I am hanging out with Briar!! I haven't seen her in over a year, I miss her. I miss the older Christian women in my life that I can talk to. It will be good. And she's pregnant with her third child! That's so exciting!! And on Tuesday when Shane and I had to run into Canadian Tire before Youth we ran into Kelly, Seigi and Kenzie. It was soo cool, it was too bad I didn't have time to stop and chat for a bit, but it was really neat to see her again. I don't have much else to say and I know this is kinda short but meh, I'll write a bigger one later.
March 7, 2006 So I had an interesting weekend. On Sunday Brian got baptised, congrats Brian! Then I also had work that day. To say I was feeling honest would be an understatement. At work I was getting annoyed with somebody that I've worked with before and I felt like they were being rude so I told him that. I also told him that if he wanted drive through times lowered he could come out here and work here himself. He was like "I'm baking", and I said, well then don't complain b/c were doing the best we can. Roll up the Rim season is on and it's INSANELY busy!!!! For a large part of the 3-11 shift you have the same volume as the 7-3 shift with about half the amout of staff, you scramble and it's busy and there is not much else you can do. But I told him like I saw it, Erin was laughing with me. I wasn't trying to do it in a mean way I just wasn't taking it that day. He left at 6 and the shift supervisior coming in at 6 is like the son of my parents good friends, so he doesn't boss me around, and if he's being a jerk I just tell him he is lol. But something else really funny happened at work that day. Erin and I are working at drive-through together and this guy comes through and orders a medium hot chocolate. Okay, no big deal. Then he proceedes to ask us that if he gives a $2 tip could he put a garden gnome on the drive through window and take our picture with it. Were like, "okay!". (I mean a $2 tip for getting your picture taken lol, why not) so Erin and I posed and they took the picture, and then they gave us another $1 so we ended up with a $3 tip from the guys. It was so funny, we laughed about it all night long. Erin and I figured it was like a scavanger hunt or something, but at the Barron's last night Dan figured it was one of those pranks were people steal garden gnomes and take pictures all around the world and when their done to take the gnome and the pictures and knock on the door and run away and they have their gnome back and tons of random pictures of their gnome around the world. Either way, it's funny to Erin and I, I kept telling her how glad I was that I wore good make-up that day lol, I think she gave me a look b/c she wasn't lol. It definitely made our Sunday at work that's for sure. So my college is on strike, I'm happy about specifically today b/c I had a pschology test and I was not really prepared, but in general I'm quite displeased. I like school. I don't like missing it. Strikes worry me. But at least I still get to go to placement. I love my placement. I get to actually do some really neat stuff while being there. Like in the SK class in the afternoon I do their reading with them, I check their homework. Neat things like that. I've also done some checking of work in the grade one class. I mean it's easy to check b/c it's SK and grade one. But it's giving me a taste of teaching and I LOVE it! I just ordered $60 worth of children's books from their scholastic book order. The whole collection of Jillian Jiggs!! I am so excited about that!!! I also ordered this pack of Robert Munsch books, I think like 6 of them or something. I think I need to hit up the book depot, pick which books I want, give the money to Shane (if he doesn't mind *puppy dog eyes* and buy them for me at 50% off) I really need to start my children's book collection. When we were cleaning my basement I put all my children's books on one shelf, I need a lot more. I have like one quarter of a shelf. (which can be a lot b/c children's books are really thin lol) I really am feeling led to become a teacher, but that would mean having to go to Brock, which kinda scares me. I'll keep praying about it. Anyways I'm outie!!
March 4, 2006 I've had quite the day today. First thing I got up at 7:00 am (on my Saturday off lol) and I took Grant out for breakfast to the Little Red Rooster out in Old Town. It was fun. It was different, we've never gone out for breakfast before. I think it could become a once a month tradition with him, I certaintly wouldn't mind. Then today was the big day, clean up day. Mom, Grant and I spend a lot of time working on my basement. It looks soo good!! We rearranged the whole thing. I purged quite a bit more stuff. We emptied the trunk that I have and I think we threw out almost every single thing in it. But on the good side I found my opal!!!! I thought I had lost it forever!!! I am so excited about finding that. My grandma gave it to me when I was younger and it was my favourite peice of jewerly for a long time, and I thought I'd lost it, but I didn't, cuz I found it today!!! And I was so proud of Grant, he was very helpful, I was expecting more "throw that out" instead he was encouraging and helpful. It was good. It's not finished but it looks loads better. We finally got all of mom's stuff out of my basement. Got rid of the metal bookshelves. (didn't need those) The whole thing is much more user friendly. It will be great for having DDR parties!! I'm excited. I also ditched the box spring, and I think I'm gonna get a fouton with the money from my tax return. Which brings me to my next awesome point. Mommy did my taxes and I'm getting back $1,480. Sweet. This way I can pay off my MasterCard with money left over and perhaps I'll buy a fouton. That way I can have more seating downstairs. Plus it will come in handy when I move out eventually. Then after cleaning I went back to April's house and did my homework. Got the case study done, still haven't done much studying for the psych test. This is all if Niagara doesn't go on strike. Then I went to Grant's house for supper (yum chicken fajatia's.) and then Grant and I watched La Bamba. Great movie!!! I really enjoyed it. Good music, good historical value. Ritche Valens. Too bad he died so young, and so tragic. The day the music died... Work is going okay I guess. I've been getting around 16 hours a week, which covers things I guess. I'm not too fond of my job though. But I pray before I go to each shift and that helps a lot. It's just that the job frustrates me. Oh well what can you do about it? Nothing I suppose, I need the money for school, God gave me a job, no sense complaining about it right? Anyways I've had a long day so I'm off to bed.
March 3, 2006 I feel like writing, I feel like getting rid of this heavy heart that is weighing me down. But I don't know what words to say or in what way to express them. I haven't tried writing any poems, I just don't know what to do. I drag my feet around and I feel really upset but I don't feel like I have a good reason to be. It's almost like the things in the world around me are bringing me down. I don't know how to describe it. It's like I'm just watching my friends hurt, I see kids at my co-op that need so much love, I just see all this bad in life and I'm not feeling as optimistic as I normally am. I suppose people like Grant would say that I was seeing reality. I don't know. Some things in life suck soo much, and I hate seeing it. I hate seeing the way the parents treat their kids at co-op. I'm just flabbergasted!! I'm like "they're your children, love them." And it seems like all my friends are either mad/or disliking another friend in the group. I feel like the group is in a weird situation. It's like everybody in the group hates another person, it's like it's this big giant ball of discord. I can't stand being around it anymore. It's like the group has become a soap opera. I know this sounds cliche, but can't we all get along? It's so disheartening for me to watch it, to see people give up on other people. I don't know what to do, it's not my business, but it is definitely bothering me. I've been feeling really off all week long. I feel like I need to say something but I don't know if it's my place, if I have the right words or even if it will make any difference. The group's a mess right now, and I'm finding it hard to be around it. I'm sorry if this offends anybody but I have to say it b/c it's bothering me so much. I hate watching groups of "friends" rip eachother to shreds. I hate the gossip (and I admit I was probably just as much a part of that as anybody else) I hate how easily we tear down others when we think were better then them. Who are we to say were better? Who are we to even judge, to gossip to make other people feel less then they are? And to find it in my friends breaks my heart. I mean to find it in myself is so discouraging as well. I'm not alleviating myself of any blame here, I'm just as guilty. But it suddenly hit me the other day. When I actually stopped and listened to the tone that me, and my friends were talking about other people. I was shocked and so discouraged. Is there nobody in the world that genuinely cares about everybody? I guess not, that's what we have Jesus for. But I thought as Christians we were called to be like Him. I think this is what has been bothering me all week long. I guess it was God changing me once again, that I would feel disgust and be upset about the way my group is treating one another? I don't know. For anybody that I might have used a bad tone to you, or if I talked about you, I'm really sorry. Soo sorry, I can't express it.
March 2, 2006 So it's a new month. Now I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that March came in like a Lion. Cold, storms etc. So hopefully March will stick to it's saying and go out like a lamb. That would be nice. I'm still house sitting, I'm actually not sure until when. I really haven't done much of anything recently. I need to actually get something accomplished tomorrow. So I'm thinking I'll get some homework done. I do have a case study to write and a report to write about the field trip that I went on to Brock with Connaught. I got to hang out with Aaron today. That was a lot of fun. I haven't seen him for quite a while. He's dating somebody now, I'm quite excited. Were planning a double date for the future. I'm actually really looking forward to that. I kinda screwed up, I was suppossed to ask for tomorrow night off but I forgot so I figured that I would just switch shifts and get it off. I was suppossed to go on a double date with Grant and his friend Becky and her boyfriend. But work made a new rule that you're not allowed to switch shifts anymore. So I can't go, but I feel really bad about it! Grr, I've just been really off recently. I still have this lingering cough/stuffed nose. Insane, it's been over a month now! And I've been on anti-bodics. Oh well, it'll go away eventually. And my pool game is getting much worse. I played Aaron today, I think we played 5 games and I lost every single one. I was making the worst shots ever. I kept sinking the white ball, and every single game I sunk at least one of his balls. Grr, I'm getting worse at pool instead of better.
So I read this comic today.. On a different note, I got an exciting phone call today. My friend Briar (whom I haven't seen in over a year) called me today! The other week I was really thinking about her, and really missing her. She was such an influencial women in my life. And I really miss having an older mature Christian women to look up to. So I was thinking about her and I wrote her a card and I gave her my number. So she called me today and were meeting next Thursday for coffee. I'm really excited about this!!! She is such an awesome person and I really miss her. And I hope to put her and Wes (and their almost 3 children, she's pregnant again!!!!) back into my life. They are such great people. Anyways I should be off to bed! G'night.
