Chisasibi Week Eight: Day 6: Aug 31: James Baie James

Got up around 7:30am. I had raisin bannock with butter, spiced bannock, and bread with PB and honey for breakfast. I found out after that we DID have yogurt, so I had some with currants and cornflakes.

Walked to work with Michelle.

Work seemed relatively slow today. I looked for clipart for this poaster I wanted to make for the library, 'cause I find that the kids check out mostly non-fiction books, and that section is a LOT easier to browes when you know what at least some of the numbers in the Dewey decimal system mean.

Lunch was left over moose stew with some spiced bannock. I also had some of the left over veggies. Man, we have been eating a lot of sweet potato!
I finally rememebr to show Naydine the Professionalisum paperwork. Then I cut out some stuff that will be lamenated tomorrow morning.

Ate an apple on my way home from work.

When I got home, I sketched out an idea for a web-based fashion line, "The Paper Bag." There were also some kids over, but we shooded them away.

Dinner was sweet potato soup with sasuage in it, more bannock with butter (there was blueberry bannock and raisins bannock) and chicken wings, but I dind't like those.  I did dishes with Brandon.

The evening activity was going to James Bay, or Baie James, or James Baie James. Whichever you like. XP

THE SUNSET WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O.O Chris convicended me to taste the ocean, so I could compare it my coast, and the water ia barely even salty! I mean seriously? I could've had a glass of the stuff and not minded in the slightest! We mostly just walked around the beach. We even found a jelly-fish! (Dead, of course.) Some of us ended up having to walk super far so we could retrive Vince before it got too drak to see. Justin's been pretty chill lately. He also finaly finished thsi SUPER detailed pic he started when we 1st got here! I am very envious of his attention to detail. It's very impressive.

I REALLY want to be a fashion designer. >.<

Anywho, Julis made a fire at the beach. So we all sat around it for a bit. It was very nice.

IN the van on the way back, Michelle put her head on my shoulder, so I rester my head ontop of hers. My neck ended up getting very soar on one side, and I wondered if that's how guys sometimes felt when they cuddle with their GFs..........yeah..........I think of weir dthings I guess.

At  home, I ate more yogurt, but with puffed rice becasue we are low on cereal, and we ran out of currants. T.t

Today I found out that I can wait until I am able to appile for mature applicants status and still be able to use my passport to education money. ^.^

............*sighs* ...................

Chisasibi Week Eight: Day 5: Aug 30: Summer's Ging Away Party

Woke up at 7:30am and ate beef stew for breakfast, with an orange and some bread with butter and rasberry jam, and some more bread with bread and butter with chcolate chips. "Shot" Vincent.

I walked to work with Michelle. At work, I looked up the emergancy numbers for Radisson for the excrusion froms. I did find some phone numbers, but I didn;t find any addresses or anything. T.t

Today I was bar-coding and labeling books. I also deleted some of the old videos from the catalouge, but I started with the wrond number, so I ended up deleting 6-7 things I shouldn't have........T.t

Lunch was the last of the leftover Straugunaff, with apple. I had also packed a PB and Honey sandwhich, but I ate that during the morning break. I ate in the library with Justin and Vincent.In the afternoon, I was super busy!!! I learned how to give books temporary bar-codes and a new password sthat let me over-ride the book limit on the kid's library cards.

After work, I went to the post office and bought the biggest box they had. When I got home, I cleaned up all my stuff and packed the box. Then i went to do a load of laundry, and Gordon "shot" me in the laundry room. After that I went out in the back, sat in the sun, sang some hyms, and petted Lady.

A man named Ricky Bobby was supposed to come over for dinner, but we waited 1hr and a 1/2 and he never showed.

Dinner was Moose stew and baked banock with raisins and blueberries and spiecs in it.

I called Summer to tell her why I wasn't at her place for the time I said I would be.  Then I left the house with Chris, Talia and Michelle. We took a neat path, but we walked WAY t far past Summer's house. (we had been looking for the evidance of a bond-fire) The walk was really nice though. When we finally got to Summers, they hadn't been able to start the fire yet! So Chris got to work, and I started gathering twigs for kindeling. I managed to get quite a bit considering it was pretty much black out.  Stacy was there for a bit, and Michelle, Talia and I all went over to the general store, and Talia and I bought marshmellows, wagon wheels and cocochums, as our contirbution to Summer's party. That and the fire. XD It was really nice though, we got to laugh and talk with Summer and her friends. We also brunded the card broad from the boxes XD I wish I could've gotten to know them better. THey seem like really nice people. |*shrugs* That's life I guess.

When we walked home, I told CHris the joke about the Murphy Twins, he liked it. ^_^

Oh yeah, and the downstrias shower is out of order 'cause Chris re-coked it.

Chisasibi Week Eight: Day 4: Aug 29

I woke up at 7:30am. I ate yogurt with currants and cornflakes for breakfast, and I also had some left over sloppy joe. Then I had some bread with butter and chocolate chips.

I got to work early after walking to work with Michelle and Barndon after I caught up to them.  Work was good. I got to check books out to kids, make library cards, and got to open, stack and stamp some new books. >//< I also read couple. XD I helped sort libaray cards.

Lunch was more leftover straugnaff and an orange. Stacy came by and  said hi. She also dropped off some borchures about toursium at LG2 and local communities.

Summer came by after work (the one with pink hair!) And she invited the whole group to her going away party tomorrow night before she leaves for Edmonton. We also have a free time block tomorrow, so I plan to go!!

When I got home, I read Born Indian again (all short stories written by the same guy and they take place in a resver outside Edmonton). I figure Chris lent me the book, so I only have until we leave to finish it.

Dinner was bean and tofu cassorale and roasted veggies. The veggies were AWESOME!!!!!! XD
I read some more, we worked on the excursion froms, and I "shot" Cindy. XP Michelle also helped me dig my suitcase out of Gnarnia 3, so I am 1 step closer to mailing my bow home to my parents. >//<   Virgine made some bread, and some blueberry-chocolate chip cookies.  I was gonna start writing Elise back too, but I ended up going to Jean Noel's with Michelle, so she could retrun a movie a she borrowed. We ended up staying for a bit, and because Jean is leaving on a road trip soon, we ended up talking about cars and stuff, about which Jean Noel is very passionate. O.o

On the way back, I realised the nail of my middle finger on my left hand had almost riped off. So when I walked in the house, I was holding that finger with my other hand, to portect the nail. Chris was siting at the table when I came in and his eyes widened and he said, "What did you do?!" Of course, he was thinking that I had cut my finger. Again. -.- Really people? Really? *shakes head* Then, when I went to tell Michelle that it was the same finger that a nail had chipped on earlier in the day, all I said was, "Michelle, It was the same finger." And Gordon and Brandon overheard that and THEY were both like. "DID YOU CUT YOURSELF AGAIN!?!" *rolls eyes* Really people! I AM NOT CLUMSY!!!!!! *sighs*

Anywho, Brandon is doing a 24hr Nova Scotia impression. And I checked my email again.

But really! Am I in love or not? Probably not......a lot can change in 6 months........espicially when you don't see each other.......*sighs*................maybe I should stop mentioning this......O.o.......XP

Got back home, read some more, and  drank some tea.

I almost went to bed without journaling!!!!! o.O I am so lucky I remebered. I haven't missed a day yet!!! XP

Chisasibi Week Eight: Day 3: Aug 28

Dogs were braking at 8am, so I got up and had a shower. I had some leftover storgaunaff and yogurt with currants and cron flakes for breakfast, I felt very satisfied after.

Then there was CCK, which just seemed to drag on and on and ON!!!!!! *sighs* Let`s just say we went off topis A LOT!

Catherine and I made sloppy jeos with carrots for lunch, but I wasn`t sure if there`d be enough food. So I served all the plates myself, and I don`t know about you, but there is something about serving all the food yourself, and sitting down at a set table, that just feels more satisfiing, at least in my opinion. I also out bread and creamed corn on the plates. XD They were all pretty indentical, so it reminded me of army rations! XD

Then I cleaned both bathrooms, and Catherine and I swept.

We were supposed to have  Kids day, so I went to lie dwon for a bit, but  when I got woken up, it wasn`t for kids day (`cause there were no kids) but for a group meeting where we decided  to go for a walk and pick blueberry. I enjoyed the walk, and felt very proud of the  2 yogurt containers and big tup-o-ware container I filled. Although, whenever I mentioned that I wasn`t a totally fan of blueberries, I was kind of annioied by how certain people just assumed I`d let them eat them. That, and a bunch of people left early to go home `cause they wanted to make bleuberry pie. Then when Catherine and I got home, they`d just left all the blueberries on the table.

Dinner cooked surprisingly quickly!  And we were actually able to eat at 6pm. We had spring vegetable and bean soup, which I ate with crumbled bread in it, and I found it very good. Catherine mopped while I cooked.

Then we all sat down together and tryed to fill out froms for the excursion thatw e want to have this weekend, even though Katimavik requires like at least 3 weeks notice, and we are dwon to like 3 days......Chris also re-started the Bang Bang U R dead game, and we set it up properly this time so we will only have one winner.

After the activity ended, I made more bread, and ate one of the pancakes that Catherine and Gordon gave me. Then I "shot" Brandon and got Cindy`s name. I felt bad after though, so while Brandon wenrt out with Melony and Julia, and finished baking the cookies he wanted to take to work the next day.

I texted with Kaylee, finished the cookies, and read some of the comics that Vincent wrote. They were super funny, but very offencsive/ contervercial. *shrugs* oh well. Let`s just say its a very good work of dark humuor.

Then I called Dad, chatted with Brandon, and checked my email, but there were no new messages.

Two girls also came over, and I drew them each a portrait. I also drew a Katima-Fairy that I put up on Chris` wall.

Then I ate some more leftover stroguanaff.

I also realised I had a bug bite right next to my eye......

Chisasibi Week Eight: Day 2: Aug 27: Mid-rotation Reflection and FIRE!!!!!!

I selpt in till 10am, which was SO nice.  I had franch toast for breakfast too because Brandon offered me some!!! >//< I had one piece with Jam and the other with surpy. Oh yeah, and Brandon`s french toast set off the smoke alarm at around 9am. Haha. He also made the french toast out of white bread, which I had made for Virgone after she came yesterday `cause she can`t eat whole wheat, but of course, everone else, being so self-foucesed, just went ahead and ate it. *rolls eyes*

Then I organized the shoes and washed the floors.

Then as a last miniute desision, we changed drity chilie to to fryed ham with rice and a salade. It was actually a REALLY good lunch, despite its.........well, let`s just say I really suck a meal planning when it comes to the gorcery shopping bit.

Then the whole afternoon consisted of doing the mid-rotation reflection with Vrigine. I thought it went okay. Nothing stellar, but nothing unbareable. I found we didn`t talk or address any group issues, but we talked ALOT about Chris. We finished aroun 5:45pm.

Of course, Catherine and I still had to make dinner! So it ended up not being ready till 8:10pm `cause beef stew does not exactly cook quilckly, espicially when you are rushed so you don`t think to cut the meat into smaller pieces!! -.- 

Gordon and I also succeeded in setting off, and thankfully putting out an OIL FIRE!! It was nuts. We knew the pan was on to high (my bad) but before I could trun it down, Gorddon went and poured more oil in the pan, which caught on fire. I grabbed a dish cloth right away (`cause I know you don`t use water) but I frooze up when I thought that the cloth might catch on fire, and then spread it. gordon grabbed the baking soda and put the fire out, but you`re supposed to use baking powder, so the smoke was really harsh and made my eyes water. Some walked in and thought I was crying! It was so bad.
*sighs* In anycase, it sucked, but was definetly a life experiance.

But dinner ended up being okay. It was beef stew and salade with bread. Talia had leftover rice with boiled carrots and tofu. (I plated up her meal all nice like to make her feel special......>.<) The humuas was also put out after Vrigine helped Catherine up-grade it.

After Dinner I cleaned the boys bathroom. Catherine had done the gril`s while I was cooking.

Gordon was heading out for a walk, and I asked if I could tag along (`cause I promised not to walk around the woods be myself) and he said yes. I got to see these neat rocks behind one of the daycare`s, and he and I sat and talked for hours! and about ecerything. I really enjoyed it. Gordon was right to miss having those kinds of conversations, I agree completely! XP

When we got home, Nathan and his mom stopped by to see if they could get Cindy for a bond-fire. Cindy had already left for their house though.......Anywho, Nathan`s mom got authorized as a driver, so Brandon, Gordon, Catherine, and I all piled in her van to go look for Cindy and go to the bond-fire. We never did see Cindy, after looking around for 20mins. But we did stop by a canteen I hadn`t been to that was really nice. Then we all went to the bond-fire, which was really a camp fire, near the place where sweats are held. While we were there, I ate 2 hotdogs, had one can of nesltea and ate two marshmellows! I was SO happy too, because I firgured out how to roast them the same way Maggie`s dad did back in Red Deer at one of the church picins! >//<

Cindy did make it eventually.

I walked home with Catherine and Gordon. I`m telling you though, walking around in the dark freaks me out. You never know what could be lruking just 15feet away!!! And it didn`t help that we had to walk through construction sites, right next to the bush, at 1am, and Catherine wanted to see a bear!
