Y'know... there are only so many times a day a person can say 'Thank you for choosing Rogers Yahoo Hi-Speed Internet. My name is Tanya. How can I help you today?' before a person goes absolutely nuts. So far today, I've said that about 44 times. The calls just keep coming in. And what's horrible is that our main tool to bring up a person's account, is down. So... we're troubleshooting blind, can't test modems, can't ping modems, can't verify information, can't give bill information. It's horrible. And therefore, I feel a migraine coming on. I just took two advil, so we shall see if that stops it. I've got just over 2 hours left until it's time to go... I just keep watching the clock.
Boy oh boy am I glad to have my days off this week. Just 1.5 hours left of this shift, and then two more days, then I'm off to the big bad town of New Tusket for 5 days. I'm very excited. People are booking me left, right and center. Lol! I have plans with Christy and April for Ice Capps at Christy's house on Thursday evening, and then brunch with April, Christy and some of their friends Friday around 10am. Then, Sunday I'm hanging out with Ben at his place... and Morgan too!
Last night was good fun for sure! Actually, the entire day was. Started out in the morning, woke up, had a shower, got dressed and put my make-up on and headed to church with mom. Sat down as people started to file in. First was Ben, who promptly sat on April, which made me laugh. Then it was Linda, Duck, Mahayla, Kevin and Kevin's girlfriendy-wife-lady. I gave up my seat in front of April, Craig, Mya and Ben, and moved up a row so that Linda, Duck, and Mahalya could sit together. Then, we were just about to start, and Brenton came in, which was thrilling for me. I waved Brenton my way, and he joined me for church. Church was really nice and mom and I got to help dad in the children's story by singing the Papaya song, which reminded me of camp. I miss Kingswood sometimes... I really do. Dad's sermon was on the holy spirit, and somewhat mind boggling, but still somewhat understandable. After church, mom tore off to start supper, dad talked with a few people, and Linda, Duck, and Brenton kinda hung around for a few minutes and then went to the house. I sat down beside Ben and we talked for a few minutes, before heading outside, and to his truck. He drove me to my parents place, which is like... a 2 minute walk. But it was nice to see the famous truck he likes to brag about. :D I went inside and sat around while mom finished up lunch and dad took Duck, Brent and Ben downstairs to show off the Vroom Vroom.
Lunch was soon done, so Ben headed off to his own lunch as we sat down. Lunch was great and we all got to talk. -Right- after we were all done eating, everyone but Brent and I left to go to the valley for Lic. Durling's induction service. Brent and I sat outside for about 2 hours in the sun and talked about everything. It was nice to sit and not worry about stuff and really tell my story and talk about how I feel. Mind you, I know I have a lot of people that I -can- talk to about all this, but Brenton had -no- idea, so it was nice to start from the beginning and tell the whole story and he told me things too. Afterwards, I gave him my number and he gave me his and he drove of on his bike.
So... alone I was... inside mom and dad's house. It was about 2:00 and didn't have plans until about 5:30. So... I did as my parents had asked and cleaned... and cleaned... and cleaned. I was actually quite proud of myself. I went online and chatted with some friends as I did the dishes, took out the compost, washed the table, scrubbed the grill and swept the floor. This all took me about 3 hours or so. It was around 5:00 so I called Ben to see if he wanted to go to Foodland with me. He had just got in the door but didn't mind coming. So, I jumped in dad's car and went to get him. He and I talked on the way to foodland, picked out cookies for the get-together, then he was all gentlemanly and carried my bag out. We talked from Foodland to my parents house, talked inside, then talked all the way to Christy's house. We picked up Christy and then headed to April's house.
At April's, we had all had smoothies, played with the dog, played with the baby (who can crawl!!!!!!), chatted, ate, had tea/coffee, ate some more, watched TV and ate. Ben left earlier than I did since he had to drive over an hour to get back home. Christy and I headed back together around 9 or so. We chatted the whole way about stuff and she told me that she thought of me as a little sister, which was sweet. I think she's okay... hahaha.. Kidding!! Love you Christy!
While pulling into Christy's driveway, my phone rang. It was Dwayne, the guy from the apartment in Port Williams. He asked if I was still interested and asked if we could get together on Tuesday to sign a lease. I was thrilled.
I ended the day with lying on the bed, chatting on MSN and falling asleep peacefully with a smile on.
*sigh* 1 hour left... and counting.
Calls are pretty short, I'm loving it. No one's emailing me though. Which sucks. They must all be leaving me MSN messages like I said on MSN. They better be at least!
Anyways... I can't delay anymore. I'm very excited about my days off, that's for sure. I dont think I'll have much to update on tomorrow, but y'never know...
Ciao!
Love y'all!

I said it before, and I'll say it again. Giiirrrrrllll, you sure can tell a story.... I love, LoVe, LOVE detail!
BTW, I had much fun too! Thanks for comin'! :)
Hey Tanya,
I am glad to hear you had such a wonderful weekend. Good friends are such a blessing.
I had a migrane on Saturday and Fred's Aunt Hazel gave me something called Aleve. She gets then from the US. They worked great. I guess you can ask your doctor for the Canadian equivilent in a perscription. Works for me.
Good luck with your 'pad' babeee!
:) Thanks guys.
Work was insane and because of all the talking, my voice is very little right now. I dunno how I'm gonna get through today and tomorrow.
Dad's coming to town today on his vroom vroom. I'm excited about that.
April: see you Thursday night.
I want to go to April's...:(
Lol. Poor thing. It was a good time, that's for sure.
We're having Ice Capps at Christy's on Thursday. :D
Hey I wanna come too.I need a beam down 'doohickey' from Star Trek. I wonder if they lose luggage like West Jet??
'Beamdown doohickey'? You gonna go to Canadian Tire and ask for a beam-down doohickey?
I wanna be there for that. :)
I'll "beam you down Scotty" I just loved the old Star Trek.... See you all Thursday for Iced Capps - and for those of you who can't make it, we will MSN you how good they are, k? Christy
You forgot to add that you had to drive me back to Aprils house to get my purse, cause I left it there like the idiot that I am...LOL!!
Haha!!! Good point! I didn't mind. Just meant we could talk longer. :)
I'm excited about Ice Capps. Anything I should bring? Maybe more of those cookies? *biiiiig smile*
I am so sad...
Christina, don't feel bad: I am RIGHT HERE and still there will be no ice capps for me.
*sniff*
Do you still love me?
Of course. So much that I wrote you a story and emailed it to you.
Too bad you missed the festivities at Chez Christy's. Better Cappichino's and croissants I am sure were never had. If my transporter had arrived on time, I would weigh 2 croissants, 3 cappichinos, and 4.7 lb of Christian fellowship heavier.
