Well I just got back from the pool. I didn't really feel like swimming tonight, but I thought I would love it once I got in. But the pool was closed. Oh well. Now I'm back here, probably going to make a card for my niece who has requested to receive mail from me.
Tomorrow is my one year anniversary of being at RWAM insurance. I feel like I've been there way too long, but it's only been a year. My team mates were teasing me about it, I missed the whole thing, but they seem to find it all funny, being Monday, I pretended that I understood what they were saying and chuckled with them.
Looking forward to Scott's cottage this weekend. But debating whether or not to leave Sunday afternoon and go to the Orangeville fair for the demolition derby or not. I can't decide!
over and out

It's Over
I can't believe that my weekend is over already. They just go way too fast. Saturday was a good day, we went to the farm to celebrate Denise's birthday. On our way there was saw the destruction of the tonado, it's just amazing to see how much damage to the trees and corn fields. While at the farm, I went to Orangeville with my mom and met Denise, and we did some shopping. Mom was looking for an outfit for a weekend away, while at Winner's I found a nice sweater, and an awesome shirt for Dave. Dave and Benji went golfing together. Then at the farm we ate supper and cake. Us "kids" then went to the movies and saw The Brother's Grimm. What an odd movie it was. I don't even think I could describe it let alone reccommend it either. I don't know how I feel about it, it was just odd.
Today was a very nice day, church was great, the team that went to Athen's did their presentation, and they had awesome pictures and wonderful testimonies to share. I could easily see how their lives had changed, and most said that their life was touched perhaps more then the lives they went to help. The children were so beautiful, and I think they were what touched most, to know how their lives are being torn apart by war, and to see how happy they are from day to day, what an amazing realization for us. We have everything, and yet still we're not happy, and they have nothing and find joy in the little but best things.
Afterwards we went over to Tony and Cindy's house for lunch. They invited all their prayer parteners over. It was yummy. And to finish off the night, we had an awesome baseball game, it was like 34-8 hahahaha, we were on fire! I was on base all night, except for once when some dude caught the ball on me! Afterwards the whole team came back to our place and we had pizza an pie, very fun night!
Now tomorrow is Monday. Kris was talking about a girl who lives in Waterloo, and used to work with him at the head office of Home Hardware, and then took a job at the Orangeville Home Hardware, and now commutes there everyday. I immediately thought about car pooling. But I still don't know. As much as I love BookLore and truly miss it, for some reason I feel that if I were to go back, things wouldn't be as I remember them to be. I just don't know.
and the pondering shall go on.....

Good Old Memories
Home alone I thought I would make some more cards, and listen to music. Since I've cleaned the house up, I was pretty lazy and didn't want to go to the basement to find a cd, so I looked in the closet and found my old tape collection. I pulled out my Power House Praise tape from Flesherton. I put it in expecting it to sound terrible because it was amateur. But it doesn't sound that bad really. It totally brought back lots of memories, great ones. Listening to it makes me want to talk to Michael again! There was one time I ended up going with Michael and his cousin alone. (what a no no with Risk Management these days) and I got the front seat, and Michael, and I can't remember his cousin's name, had me laughing so hard that I could have and may have peed my pants. I think I'll never forget the goat.
It's amazing the mind, I haven't listened to this tape in ages, and yet I know what songs follow. It's cool.
Dave is out golfing again. So I came home from work and cleaned the house and had some dinner and then I made just one card. Christa just called and I told her that Mike and Joy are probably going to come over for a movie, if they wanted to join us, and she said probably. It's great that there's more coming, I just wish we had a couch for them to sit on.
Last night Dave and I watched Man of the House. It was a cute movie, but mostly silly. I'm not sure which one we'll watch tonight, but I'm hoping another funny one. I'm just in the mood for a laugh.
I'm very thankful that it's the weekend. Oh I found my new mentor at work. Her name is Cathy, she is a pretty important lady at work, but I was so lucky to hear her stories today. She is the ultimate prank queen. She pulls extreme pranks on her boss of all people. Here's one quick example. There's Chinese guys who work for us in the tech department, she asked one of them to write out the worst saying ever in Chinese. Some were funny, and the one she chose was bad, something like "I'm a complete Horse's ass" and she got it done up real fancy like with the Chinese characters and had it framed and gave it to her boss. He loved it and put it up in his office. Never really knowing what it meant until one day, Ting (a different Chinese guy) came and looked at it with complete shock. It was only then that Frank (Cathy's boss) knew it said something bad!

Whatever
Isn't that the most odd form of expression when you think about it? But that's all I could think of in the split moment this evening when I could have said probably a million different things. Dave and I were asked by Darcy to play for his RBC ball team tonight as fill ins. We said sure, so off to Guelph we went and I was asked to play rover, which wasn't a surprise. Darcy had also warned us that this team sucks. I was playing as I normally do, making a couple of catches and stopping ground balls. However this didn't seem to impress this one guy. Dave had to sit one inning, so this guy was playing centre field and a girl came upto bat, and this guy came upto me and told me to switch positions for this girl because he would have a better chance at getting her out than me! I just looked and him and grrrrrred in my head and said "whatever" and made the switch. What a jerk, the ball didn't even come anywhere close to him! I should have said "No I can play this just as well as anyone here" but no, just "whatever" came out. I was mad at myself for not saying anything. But Darcy came up and apoligized on his behalf, and we just laughed at his ignorance. The team lost majorly too! Oh well!
So it's been a few days, and something funny but kind of sad happened. Lesya called me on Monday night saying "Guess What?" --what? I asked, "My foot's not broken". hahahaha (this is the funny part) she actually had a cast on for a week and a half and her foot wasn't even broken in the first place. All the changes she had to make to all her plans, everything she went through on crutches (and in wheelchairs). She went to the Doctor's on Monday for another appt. and the doctor told her it was a mistake, it wasn't broken to begin with! I laughed and laughed. Then she told me that she was leaving the next day. That made me sad. I had made plans to hang out with her on Saturday before she leaves, but since her foot wasn't broken her and her mom were going to drive out west afterall leaving the next day! Poor Mr. Moore, he went to work on Monday morning, all normal, and came home to complete shock, with the car half packed up, his daughter running around on two feet (one missing a cast) and his wife running around grabbing this and that saying we're leaving first thing in the morning. hahahaha hilarious! So my dear girl has left my presence and I miss her already. But Christmas isn't that far away!
That's it till next time!
I asked Darcy about Dave Marshall because he too works in Elmira's RBC and he said he thinks that he works for another bank now in Elmira? So who knows? Does anybody?

I guess I'm really lucky.
Well these past few days have been a bit nuts, I'm totally exhausted and I think that when I'm finished typing this I shall have a nap! So I was in Orangeville Friday at noon for a doctor's appointment. I then went to the farm to visit for a bit and return Benji's truck and get Dave's again. It was fun, then I headed home. Well driving the back way through Fergus, I started noticing a lot of trees down, and thought, hmmm I didn't notice these on the way to Orangeville, but didn't think too much about it until I got onto hwy 6 to turn onto the Salem Rd, when I saw a motor home somewhat in the middle of a field and mangled and cars, suv's, and then a roof. I then began to get really nervous, and of course I wasn't alone, I was now in stop and go traffic. Leading me to drive over power lines that were down and around scraps and such, I could easily tell there was a tornado. The Salem road wasn't closed at this point but I could just tell that you could not go down the road, there were trees, huge ones blocking it. So I drove on past and found a safe place to turn around, and then passing it again, that's when the emergency crew just got there. And by listening to the radio, I missed it by like 15-20 minutes! God is so good to me. It's so odd because my brother had said to me that Dave's truck was acting up a bit, and I said I would be fine, and before I left the farm my cell phone died and my mom really wanted me to take hers, and I told her not to be silly, I would be fine. I feel bad now, because Dave and my mom got worried about me trying to call the house, and knowing what was out there. BUT I'm safe and grateful.
As you Like It was so wonderful! It was fun and very creative, I really really liked it. Friday was a very long day!
Yesterday was another long day. We had a wedding to go to. Actually was in Amy's neck of the woods in Paris. It was a friend of Dave's getting married (a fellow ball player for me), and his now wife and I hit it off really great, we had the same circumstances, moving to Elmira to a new church and so on. Their wedding was beautiful and fun. The reception was so nice, and the theme were tea cups, and the party favours were a mini tea cup and saucer that everyone got. Now that I'm married I see weddings differently, I never really thought about it until on my day, how sacred a wedding is, and how amazing God is and how he is so very present when the uniting takes place. It's such a honour to be there and witness it.
Anyway, today is our quiet day, I don't know what we'll do, but I think relaxing and napping are in the very short future!

An excuse for shopping.
Well the past 24 hours have been interesting. First of all, we had a baseball game last night and won. I ate dinner before hand, but Dave wanted to wait until afterwards. So after the game we went to Sobey’s and he bought a turkey wrap. We went to his Aunt Lorraine’s and Uncle Maynard’s afterwards to share our camping pictures with them. This put Dave in good spirits he always loves seeing these two.
So we get home and to bed and he keeps rambling (that’s what he does when he’s happy), so finally I asked him to let me sleep and he did. Hahaha. Well, then at 3:30am I hear him calling for me. I shot straight out of bed because of shock I think. He preceded to say that something wasn’t right, and he was just standing in the door way of our room, so I walked over to him, and he’s wet from a cold sweat and told me that he felt like he was going to pass out. I was freaked out. But I immediately started thinking food poisoning from the wrap he had. He later threw up a couple of times later and I made him take a Gravol. He’s at home, but recovering, my poor guy. I told him that we’re too busy for him to get sick like this!
Anyway I have another ball game tonight, at 9:30pm, I’ll be so tired! Before hand I want to go shopping, it was Dave’s idea, because he wants a new golf shirt, and since he can’t get one for himself I stepped up to the task. Plus we’re going to a wedding on Saturday, and I’m really looking forward to this one. With weddings come wonderful excuses to buy new clothes! So we’ll see, maybe I’ll find myself a pretty outfir to wear!
Well that’s it for now…..I’m at work, naughty girl I am!

Restful Evening
Well tonight I don't have baseball which is a nice surprise! I think Dave and I are just going to relax and maybe even watch a movie. Although there are quite a few cards that I need to make, so I'll probably work on that too. Plus maybe go out for a walk or something.
Work was ok, it was slow in the morning and then things got really hectic in the afternoon, making the day disappear.
I'm really looking forward to Scott's cottage. I hope the weather will be good and I hope everyone can be there.
With everyone around us having babies it makes me think about the possibility of it happening to us one day. I don't know sometimes I feel like I want one now, but when I think real hard about it, I realize that wanting one now is only a scapegoat to get out of work. All the work that is involved in raising children is overwhelming for me. (Lesya is probably laughing because I'm bringing this up yet again!) But when I see baby Mason and hold him, I don't know, it does get me thinking. Christa and I joke about trying to get pregnant at the same time so that way our kids can grow up together. BUT THAT'S INSANE!!!! (especially when she wants one next year) Then there's the whole, I want my kids to know my parents and so on. Yep we're still going to wait! Because I'm not ready for it, and Dave is TOTALLY not ready for that! He has let me know on more than one occasion! hahaha.
Ok I'm done rambling now!

That feeling
This morning I woke up wanting to cry. I don't know if it's because it was Monday and I had to go to work, or if it was that homesick feeling. After my parents visit and there's lots people in our house, I feel happy and content, and then when that goes away, I feel that lonely low. I mean I love being married and independent, experiencing life with Dave whom God gave me, but God also gave me an amazing family whom I love and miss quite often. When my Grandma died, I will never forget what Pastor Mark told me about how I'm allowed to be sad and miss her, and cry for her. And so I'm not ashamed to miss my family, because it doesn't mean I'm not happy.
Speaking about happy.....it doesn't take long to get out of my blue mood when I get settled into work and receive emails from my Mom, Jay, Dave and a million from Lesya. Plus the girls I work with make me laugh too, and it's great!
I'm proud of myself right now. I just got back from swimming (all alone this time) and Dave on my way out said, do 20! And I replied : HA! YA RIGHT!!! I think I'll stick with my 15. But as I got myself going I completed 15 laps in 20 mins, so I thought I would swim until 8:45 and see how many I get in, well I got upto 19 with 35 seconds to go, so I rounded it off at an even 20, with myself cheering me on! I should sleep great tonight!
My final note, there isn't anything on the top of my head that I think is intelligent to say, other than God is a great comforter.

Ahhh Happiness
Just talking to Jay on msn and she informed me that Scott's cottage is on the long weekend in September meaning that we can go. Oh I'm sooo happy about that!
I had a good weekend. Some would say successful. I have another baseball story to add, last night at Suzanne's birthday party, she had so many people. Because she's a freak when it comes to baseball she wanted us all to have a game. So this guy, which not many people like at all was there and wanted to be the pitcher and somehow I was first up to bat, and he asked me were I liked it. And I told him that I would hit anything. So his first pitch I got a good hit, I mean I could really feel it, and whack!!!! It hit him right in the right butt cheek, I laughed and apologized profusely, when others cheered and lifted their arms in rejoice. I was out of course.
My parents and Benji were here today, it is so wonderful having them here, we had lots of fun, we went to St. Jacobs for a bit and played a game of wizard. Then they came to watch my ball game. I got stage fright though and struck out the first time up, which meant I had to wear the to-died boxer strike out shorts for a couple of innings, but it was all good!
we lost.....13-12
Church this morning was good, we had a guest speaker who enlightened us on the Ray of Hope organization.
Dave wants to watch a movie right now, maybe I'll join him.....
5 more days to As You Like It!

Waiting to be picked up!
I'm waiting for the mother-in-law to pick me up, we're going to a baby shower for Shannon today. I'm looking forward to that. Then tonight we're going to a birthday party for Suzanne, that too will be lots of fun. Our weekends tend to be full, they go by so fast.
I spent the morning cleaning the house and making a card and laundry. Dave is out golfing, what a silly guy....
Oh my ride is here.....

Friday is a safe place
Woohoo, work is over for yet another week. That makes me very happy. The only thing that helped me get out of bed this morning was knowing that I was having chinese food for lunch. My day again was pretty full, but with same old stuff. After lunch I was pretty tired, and then someone sent me that Captain Underpants thing and my name is Snickle Pottysniffer. I giggled. Then I laughed really hard when I read that someone got the name of Boobie Frickenhump, that sent me over the edge and even now I'm giggling about it!
I'm going to eat chocolate, I'm very excited about this as well. I went camping all last week up at Lake Superior and us females brought a load of chocolate bars, we had atleast 2 everyday, but we still had tonnes left over. So I went back to my chocolate once a week rule and let me tell you....after a week of it everyday it was soooo hard to not have it. Ahhhhh chocolate!

Almost got Caught in the Rain
We rode our bikes to the in-laws tonight for a short visit and to get corn on the cob, which is so tastey this time of year, and I can tell you it's fresh off a mennonite's farm!
When I got home I started watching Studio 2 (in hopes to improve my mind) and was very happy to see a feature on Caledon, with interviews of people who I used to see in BookLore many times. So that was neat!
I find that this week has gone by fast, work especially, which is completely a blessing, considering that I almost hate every morning to go there. I've been contemplating returning to BookLore on a part-time basis. I have every other Friday afternoon off, so I'm thinking of asking my old boss if she would like me to work those Friday's and maybe even the following Saturdays for the fall and before the weather gets too bad. It's not like me to feel this way, however I truly feel that my IQ has be degraded because of the lack of CBC radio I get in a day! hahaha, but seriously, I really feel like a machine at work and not learning something new everyday is devasting! TRULY!
Lesya, thanks for passing my time at work! It's great! One more week to As You Like It!!!!
Till next time...

Almost Bed Time
Okay,
So this will be the beginning of "my letting you know what life unfolded in the most recent past of myself" Sounds interesting you think? We'll see.
Tonight Dave took me to Guelph to see The Wedding Crashers, it was pretty hilarious, it made me laugh a whole lot and for some reason I really needed that, and good for Dave to know I needed that.
I want to tell you about this pretty funny story about what happened to me on Sunday.....it's getting past my bed time so bare with me okay...
It's kind of a long story, because there's a lot of explaining I have to do. I read this book called "A Complicated Kindness" it won the GG of 2004, anyway, the girl in it had a moment with baseball (and because baseball seems to be the centre of my summer I adopted her every word) She hated it, and so she tried to make every effort to make it some what more interesting for herself. So one thing she created was running her heart out to the base if she got walked.
Okay, here's where Sunday night comes in to this and myself. I decided to do this as well. Yes. I was on 2nd base, while Suzanne was up to bat and got walked. So I ran like mad to 3rd base, I ran like I was running for my life. Well as I approached the base, I began to stumble a bit and before I knew it, I completely hit the ground sliding onto and on top of the 3rd base. Yes I ran and slid into 3rd on a "walk" My team thought I was insane (which I'm still thinking about too) and the other team, probably thinks I'm truly dumb at sports. I got up and cheered because I wanted to make it look like I did it on purpose. I kind of laughed a bit, and knew that my laughter wasn't going to take away the pain, but maybe not thinking about it would. I had to run home and got in, when Suzanne then freaked and said "Charlene, you're bleeding" My arm was completely scratched up.
Ahh if only you could see me now! My arm is really gross and sore and burns, but there's more, my right leg is scratched up and bruised, along with 2 scraps on the same knee, and a bruise on my left leg and my right breast is completely bruised as well. I mean what was I thinking?
I really laugh at myself and the "insane" part is I triumph over my own humour, but I'm the only one, no one else seemed to get the joke. So I'm totally in physical pain all for a good laugh, which I ended up sharing with myself!
The other funny thing is (to maybe only myself) is people at work see my arm and ask me what on earth happened, and I get serious and say I took a fall for the team! hahahaha
Goodnight!
So this will be the beginning of "my letting you know what life unfolded in the most recent past of myself" Sounds interesting you think? We'll see.
Tonight Dave took me to Guelph to see The Wedding Crashers, it was pretty hilarious, it made me laugh a whole lot and for some reason I really needed that, and good for Dave to know I needed that.
