Deal

Well it's been somewhere between a month and two months since my sister, Jess, moved away to KC. And if there is one thing I've learned from her big move - it's DEAL WITH YOUR CRAP - BEFORE IT DEALS WITH YOU! So I've been cleaning my room - extensively. As my cousin Joni would call it "a deep clean." Going through all the stuff that makes you go "oh ya..." And going through old notes from junior high to boys I used to like, and about boys I used to like. It was more of a walk down memory lane than I had first expected. Here is a sample of one of the notes I happened upon:

Hey there! Whats up? Wow. I don't know what to talk about in this note. But I hope you have fun in Leadership. Anyways... Blah. Blah. Blah. Tell Ada I luv her and that she owes me a dollar. Anyways... see yas... - Penny

The red text was what was on the note when he gave it back to me. Out of these red lettters he composed this heart-felt message to me:

eat crap. sell Ada at a dollar. ya.

Funny how at the time I thought it was primarily hurtful and secondarily funny. Now I think it's absolutely hilarious! It's crazy how life changes so quickly. Amongst the other things I went through were binders, Archie Comics, an award for "Best Paint Job" from a model car I had painted in grade 9, and countless garage sale items. I even went through some of Jessica's old things! Like her grade 12 binders. (I used some of her notes to help me study.) I came across one of her old notes, except she was not so young. Some crazy drawings of extremely ugly people and alot of talk about raccoons and someone named Pascal? I'll let her do any explaining. Anyways, I've cleaned out my closet - no skeletons have jumped out at me. Now I'm getting ready for a big garage sale and good-will!

It's Been A While...

Hello, friends! Wow it has been a long time since my last post, but trust me - I had a very busy schedule keeping me preoccupied during those few months. My sister's wedding, first of all, was very fun. And fast! Engaged in October (I think) and married in March. (And no, it's not what you're thinking.) In fact, her wedding was the main reason why I decided to start blogging. My sister, Jess, and her new husband moved to Kansas City about a month ago. May be a little less than that. Anyways, it's been alot! Not to mention the craziness of school. I'll be done my first half in 17 days and I'm totally excited! But along with being halfway done comes all the tests and everything like that too. I can't wait to start working again for the summer and start making some money! Being a student can do that to you. Anyways, I know this isn't the most interesting of posts but once something interesting happens to me I'll be sure to jump on the blog wagon :)
