New job was great. I love it. It didn't seem like work, it was enjoyable and I got a lot of sunshine and fresh air. There are still a lot of bugs left to work out, seeing as how it is still fairly new... but it's good. I could get used to it, and the firehose, while fun, is not as hard as I was expecting.
But we are planning to move to Edson. Again.
For sure this time.
Soon.

New and Improved!
Now with a new job!
Yeah...
Starting on sunday (yeah I know- weird start date), I will be working at the new car wash in town. The owners are great, the woman - used to work at the Igg-ah with me - and her husband are planning on running it like a family business (because that's kind of what it is... a family owns it). There is a quick oil change place on the one side, and a 3-bay big-rig-sized-carwash on the other side. They can fit 3 big big big trucks or 6 regular vehicles in the bays.
It will be mostly days, and should be home by dinner time everyday... YAY!
And the best parts:
1- it's right next to a bunch of trees, -edge of the forest that surrounds the town- and there is apparently a group of little birds that have been hanging around the area that provide endless entertainment (running back and forth from a parked truck to behind the dumpster...)
2- I will get to use a fire hose that's hooked into the town's pressure to clean the bays, instead of using heated water from the wands. (Sounds like it will be fun, plus, a great workout - better than lifting watermelons at the tills...)
3- I won't just be sitting there, unless of course it is extremely slow, and I fully expect to get plenty of sunshine and fresh air, and a better workout than my previous job could ever allow. And, maybe in my downtime, if there is any, the bosses might let me take pictures of the surrounding nature and stuff...
4- Job security - I am the only full time person, and come wintertime, I will still have the same shifts and hours each week.
My only concern that I have is that nagging feeling I have in the back of my mind - this is the firs time I've put it into words - I am trying to be more green, more environmentally concious, and working for a place that uses as much water, chemical, and a fire hose to clean... I intend to try to cut down on the amount of fire hose time I absolutely need, but I know that the boss has the same OCD type of cleaning - no jokes about my house please* - as I do.
The Grande Opening is on the 25th, and they are planning a BBQ for customers, and plan to have a full day... Then, after the day is over, they plan to go back to their house and have a staff BBQ.
I might have to socialize. (Scares the crap out of me - not good at talking to people, but I am forcing myself to ask those little questions that get people talking. I think coming off of the pills helped to let me think on my own again. I feel so different off of them, that I am starting to realize that they were suppressing me.) But I will get through it, and people will probably think the same things about me that they all apparently do... They think I am friedly, outgoing, etc, when in reality, I am outgoing to cover up the shyness, if that makes sense. I make jokes, and usually - in my head - come off as a bit of a bitch.
I've also been working on my approachability. (Or the lack of.)
It is so creepy that after stopping taking these pills, I am slowly starting to, well, blossom, I guess. It's what it feels like. Slowly in the back of my mind, I am having thoughts that I think are more like real people. Not a medicated ball of nerves. I am less nervous, less paranoid. (So it was the pills!). (It also bothers me that there are so many people potentially being smothered by their pills, and they won't know it until they come off of them, IF they ever do.)
More confident, too. Self-assured. Before, I wouldn't have left the Igg-ah job because I'd feel like I was being a traitor or something. (How I've felt with past jobs I've left - intense guilt.)
AND, I have big news: On the trip to Cold Lake, (except for a brief moment while we were packing, where all I needed was a hug and an "it's okay" from Chris to alleviate the feeling)...
I HAD NO ANXIETY! None on the way there, none on the way back. This is HUGE for me!
Personal achievement. :)
Now I need to go clean.
*The OCD cleaning issues I have is not so much keeping the whole house completely tidy and sanitized at all times... It's that when I clean, I HAVE to clean very throroughly, and get distracted by other cleaning things... (I discovered it's not a good idea to clean the sink while I have food cooking, for instance. It took me about 20 minutes to clean the sink to my satisfaction, and the rice ended up boiling into a big sticky clump, with some burned to the bottom... Not pretty. One of the first things I've burned at home. (Kitchens with gas burners, it's easier to burn things... walk away for a second from that stirfry and BLACK!)
However, I am also more comfortable with having a clean house - junk and stuff wise - but it usually piles up and gets out of control - like a fire - and I never know where to start to get it all cleaned up. BUT IT DOES BUG ME! I am not messy, just lazy. Not much better.
Trying to do something about it. Going to clean the house today. Again. (It just takes so LONG, I end up halfway, take a break and forget to keep going.) Going to stop taking breaks, just plow through it!
:)
Can't wait to go to Cold Lake at the end of the month... see if the anxiety comes back at all! (Will be seeing more family, so it will be a great weekend!)
Off to the sink.

GOING TO COLD LAKE!
YAY!
I still don't know for sure when (or if it will be both of us or just me) I will be in Cold Lake... I am 'planning' on going down on Friday morning, and leaving Monday morning, but if Chris can manage to get either Friday or Monday off, then I will be leaving later and/or coming back sooner... We don't have insurance/registration on the sunfire to bring it down, (plus it would be very, very $$$$ to insure just for the one trip!) and so we will be trying to avoid taking 2 cars! (way too expensive.).
But if Chris only gets Sat/Sun off, then I will most likely going down friday morning and leaving monday morning... alone. :(
will update more once I find out...

BITCHOLOGY
BITCHOLOGY
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs,
they call me a
bitch.
When I stand up for those I love,
they call me a
bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way,
they call me a
bitch.
Being a bitch
means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and
speak against it,
I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for
myself instead of being everyone's maid,
or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow
myself to be who I truly am and won't become
anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.
I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame,
try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed.
And if that makes me a bitch ,
so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.
B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself
B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman
B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

Motivated
I want to eat healthier, I want to live healthier. I want to go for walks and runs and jog and exercise.
I just don't like the idea of doing it all outdoors. I am too self conscious. I don't mind walking Marley, but they are way too short (SHE gets over heated and tired) for any real benefit.
I think I want to invest in a treadmill. Even if it's just a cheapie until we could afford a better one... I'd feel much better walking and running until I am a sweaty mess right here... Besides, then I wouldn't have to pay to go to a gym, drive to go to a gym... besides, I don't think I would ever actually go. I would feel more comfortable at home. (Way too self conscious...)
I stumbled across yet another article about BMI's and running and stuff, and after some calculations, discovered that for my height (5'1'') I am apparently "extremely overweight".
A normal BMI range of 18.5 to 24.9 would mean a weight range of 98-132 lbs, what the hell. That would mean I need to lose at least 40 lbs to be in the appropriate weight range. (Max needed to lose is about 77! WTF! This BMI crap is bull. I'm no stick, and I can guarantee that the only way I could ever possibly weigh 100 lbs is to start doing drugs or develop a very serious disease. (In combination with starvation.)
While I have a back burner interest in being skinnier, I don't really care about it. I am happy how I am, just need more clothes to feel comfortable in. I just want to feel better. This whole lethargic/exhausted/lazy type feeling sucks. So, I want to do something about it.
Aside from eating healthier, I have to start exercising more. I have started walking more, and just need to do the walking until it actually benefits thing.
Where do I find a treadmill?

Let's see...
What is new?
-Marley is still having accidents, mostly the solid ones. I know that she is having them as part of a behavioural problem, because we let her out before we leave and as soon as we get home, and she's not alone that often, but we have been spending a lot of time in the house, and she spends most of the day sleeping. Need to get on a more regular walking schedule, and play with her every day! (Working on it)
- I woke up today feeling motivated, to eat healthier, to go for more walks, to get more done. (To stop distracting myself with the tv when I get homesick, instead, I hope to do more productive things. Like get healthy again.) I bought more fruit (been making fruit salad a lot lately, and needed to get a fresh supply anyway...) and a few veggies (I'm not a fan of most... except some cooked in bad enough ways that it's healthier for me to not eat them.) and I plan to make the best of them. I also plan to take Marley for a few more walks a week, presuming she promises to stop rolling in sh!t. *see below.
- I need a new bra. Desperately. I have about 3 or 4, but all but one are unwearable (Why I still have them, I don't know.) So, I wash it often, which is shortening it's life span, too, and I have a feeling that I should make an appointment in Edmonton for a fitting and start saving some money again to be able to afford the ones I have to buy. (F-ing chest is too big to be able to buy from any regular store, unless I want to cut off the blood supply to half. And it's extremely uncomfortable to do that...) So, hopefully the back pain will dissipate during the second half of my trip to Cold Lake... First thing I will do when I get there is wash my new bra. Second thing, say hello to everybody... (ha, ha, ha... just kidding. I will unpack second. lol).
- New car is working out great. After we got it an oil change, new tires, new spark plugs and wires... And the engine is knocking, but other than that it works excellent! Very fuel efficient...
- It is still up in the air whether or not Chris will be joining me on our trip to Cold Lake: they offerred him on thursday to 'qualify' early... (Brakeman, right now. Still has more training to do to become a Conductor. Three years after that he could qualify for Engineer, if available.) His on the job training was supposed to be 45 trips/tours/shifts/whatever and on thursday, he was at 30. So, 2/3 of the way done, because either he's doing a great job, or they are short workers... but either way, he was offerred it. It means more money, but he'd still be in training to qualify for Conductor. He's already doing the work of a brakeman, they've been short a few days the last week and it was either he just do it, or the job comes to a screeching halt. I don't think he's completely decided yet...
If he stays in training, he might be able to have the whole weekend off for the trip to Cold Lake, but he might be in Prince George. If he takes the Brakeman position early, he will be working 6 days a week, and most likely will be able to get the weekend, plus the friday off. So, then we would have to leave on Sunday. Or, even if he couldn't get the friday off, since we'd be taking two cars to Cold Lake and only one back, I could still come down on Friday and Chris could come down early Saturday. And then we'd leave on Sunday. I don't know what's going on at this point. There's still the potential he might not be able to come down at all, meaning we'd have to figure out another way to get the car to Cold Lake...
Hey, I'm just trying to get Willy a car, damnit.
-We shaved Marley... it was way too hot, and trimming is so time consuming, and makes me warmer struggling with her, and being in such close quarters with her and usually Chris, too. Just too hot to trim normally. However, the trimmer gets hot too, but it's still easier, and she's not as scared of the trimmer as she was of the cutting noise the scissors make. (Rescue Remedy works pretty good, too. Made her a little high, tho, I think.)
* It's been over 6 months since we got her and she's proven that she has a thing for rolling in stinky stuff. So far, the list includes: dirt, cat poop, garbage and most recently (today) horse poop. Luckily it was dry and it didn't stick too much, but it stills ticks me off to no end that she ruins a good walk with that urge that I don't understand that makes me turn around and go home. (going to look up why dogs do that now... from http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1547&articleid=1152 :
"A. It is thought that dogs may choose to roll in foul-smelling things to mask their scent, just as wolves do. Wolves may roll in decomposing carcasses or the feces of herbivores (plant eating animals) to disguise themselves. They want to cover their own odors so their prey will not be alarmed by their scent. This way, they can sneak up on their prey and have a better chance of making a kill.
Some behaviorists feel dogs may roll in smelly things to 'advertise' what they have found to other dogs."
Huh. Still, gross.
And a waste of water, too.

News-ish
Gah! It feels like forever since I've been home, (Cold Lake), and I can't wait to go there for my birthday...
Also, Chris found a little car we can buy for cheap, from one of his co-workers. (2002 Dodge Neon, got about 150 000 km's on it, practically fully loaded, only asked $3500, talked down to $3300... Only selling for so cheap because it was the seller's son in law's and when he went to universoty he couldn't afford it anymore, so he gave it to the guy who is now selling it (because he already has too many vehicles). Chris took it for a test drive and liked it, it just needs new tires, and otherwise should be excellent on the road for Chris's commute - much better than either of the two that we currently have.*)
We're s'posed to be going to Edson to buy it officially on Sunday.... who knows how long it will take before Chris has an early day so he can insure and register it!
*We plan to bring 2 vehicles to Cold Lake when we go down, and only bring one back... Willy's inheriting the sunfire...
Holy crap, the sun's coming up, I gotta go to bed.
I made fruit salad and then had a couple of glasses of tea... hoping to sleep like a baby... maybe after this episode of Corner Gas is over...
I really have to go to bed now.

I made fruit salad and then had a couple of glasses of tea... hoping to sleep like a baby... maybe after this episode of Corner Gas is over...
I really have to go to bed now.

I keep looking for dogs
Argh... Another cutie, and check out the name! Hee hee hee!
:) Why do I torture myself knowing it's not a likely or even a good idea, especially when it's in Red Deer! (Opposite direction than most of my scheduled trips!*)

the other one I found that I am heartbroken over not being able to get (yet?)
is in Fort McMurray!

*However, if we went to RD, I could visit with Chair, J, Theya and the Bean to be.
:)
I wonder if either of these dogs could be a good addition to our little family?

My World
Appears to be dying (According to most of the people who are on the Live Earth Concert, at least)... (For the record, Chris and I do our part... and intend to do a lot more)
Not much new here, not planning on moving to Edson right away... I almost quit my job, and have also since stepped down from managing the store on the occasional evening and basically running the front end, so basically nothing's changed except I don't have keys and a card anymore, and I get 'token approval' from other people to do things I know I can do, just need to have the whole ' approved by xxxx' on the receipt.
__________________________-
Aside from work, nothing new. At all. Marley still not listening, Marley still having random accidents... (Last week she was barking to go outside, yesterday she just went and peed in the bathroom (as interesting as that sounds, she didn't go in the toilet - she peed on the rug.)
I'm thinking I should take her for a walk today... it's not as warm as it was the other day (35C) it's about 24, so it's nice...
I guess I should go make supper... It's about that time...
and Marley needs to go out...
Just thought I'd drop a line to say that I am still around and kicking...!
