Up near 7:30am, made oatmeal and red river which I ate with chocolate chips and rice crispes.
Did a load of sheets in the washer. Made more bread, I am a master!!! XD We did all the daily tasks, like always. :P Then I checked the Computer and had a shower.
Catherine went out with Chris to pick up Virgine, but I stayed home to try and get some food prep done for the weekend, which invovled a lot of veggi cutting, bread making, looking up recipes, and doing laundry.
Lunch was oatmeal and red-river w/fake PB and jam, which I ended up adding before I though to micro-wave the oatmeal, so I ate it cold.......yeah......
Dinner was beef strauguanaff. (My baby! XP) And we used both the stew beef and some ground beef, two kinds of noodles, and tow kinds of "cream of" soup. Seasoned it with pepper, garlic, onions and mushrooms. *shrugs* I liked it. For Talia, I actually looked up how to make tofu, and let in maranate instead of trying to just perpare it last minute. She said it was good. ^_^ Catherine also made brownies!
Our dinner guests were Virgine (the porject co-ordinater, in case you forgot :P), Oilevier, his wife, and their 2 sons. His wife brought a blue-berry-bannana crips -cake thing. It was really good. ^_^
After dinner we had French lesson, and Stacy came over and gave the francocphone an english lesson.
After our guests left, we all watched Happy Feet, with french subtitles....i think..... I finally went to bed at 12:18am! O.o
Oh yeah, I was texting Dad eariler in the day, and he joked about arranging my marriage for me. I actually though it sounded kind of appealing too...........okay. Something`s porbably wrong with me. >//<

Chisasibi Week Seven: Day 7: Aug 25
Slept in till 10amthis morning (Catherine didn`t even wake me up!) Ate bread with bread and cream cheese and ate a chuck of pepperoni (last of it).
I washed both bathrooms while Catherine took care of the floors. Finished daily taks, made more bread.
Lunch was like breakfast, except with leftover ham.
Went gorcery shopping, and we ended up $30 under, and for some strange reason un-benouced to me, we don`t get to roll-over that money, we just lose it. Also, Chris went to the post office, like usual, and it was super busy! Of course, we sdidn`t know that so Catherine went over to mail something. Chris came and found me, then went back to find Catherine, so I ended up waiting in the gorcery store for, I don`t know, 1/2 an hr maybe. When they came back I was looking at clothes. XP There is this one shrit I kinda wanna get, but its 25-bucks......oh yeah, Bouze is working at Northern now.
We got home around 2:45pm, and I started preping potatos and sweet potatos fro dinner while Catherine took an other nap.
Dinner was roasted veggies, salade and lemon pepper fish (Michelle got chicken).
Chris introed us to this game called "Bang-Bang, you`re dead." (look it up!) Michelle and I formed an alliance, and then the one times she leaves me, she gets killed! (Haha) We set the game up wrong though, so we ended up with two winners, one was me, `cause I didn`t get killed, and the other was Gordon, `cause he killed everybody else.
Michelle and I went to Kandies, and I bought some Reese candy, which I realised was a sencory memeory re-lep from my last week as house manager. XP I also bought some Lindor, so Michelle could have one as her accompaniment tax. XD
Got home and we did the French activity of Bingo! It went super good!!!! All our work really paid off!!1 They kept wanting to play more rounds! (Unfortunately, we forgot to buy prizes.....) BUt even then! People gave out 10s when we asked for their evaluation!
After that I got the new from for professionalisum at work, which is the school this time.
Uhg. I just finished off a 260g bag of reese candy in a couple hrs........ugh.
I tried calling Mom, but she didn`t pick up so I left a message. Sang out back for a littwel, then went on the computer and did e-mail and Facebook.......yeah..........I think i might like someone, but i really have no clue.........( XP let`s see how many of you actually read to the end of my posts! XD)

Chisasibi Week Seven: Day 7: Aug 24
Got a bizzar wake up call this morning! Gordon, for abosolutly no apperent reason, was squeezing my toes and it jolted my awake. I found out later after work that my foot had apperently been hanging off the bed and wasn`t covered my the sheet, and the bedroom door was open, and he just couldn`t help himself `cause my foot was asking for it. *rolls eyes*
ANYWHO! I got up after everyone left, and ate oatmeal with with honey, PB, raisins, and too much salt and more chocolate than I intented.
Did all the daily tasks with Catherine and made bread. We were done again by noon. Catherine took a nap in the afternoon and I blogged 6 entries (not these ones `cause I am stupid and busy and still a month behind *rolls eyes*), face booked, and checked my email. (speaking of which, you people should e-mail more!!!! I need to feel the love!!!! T.t ) ((I was just about to post it, than i releaised this is a public blog, I don`t want no random weirdo`s emailing me >.< shoot!!!!! T.t))
Dinner was spaggetti with cream suace and borrcoli, with wok chicken, a salade, grapes and strawberries, and Brandon`s chocolate chip cookies. Our dinner guest was Christopher Herodiay from the Cree health broad. ^_^
I chatted with CAtherine while the dishes were being done, then we had a group meeting `cause we couldn`t go to James Baie because of the rain. Chris H. shared with us some songs he wrote, and played his guitar. Then we grou-voted to do a mini-final presentation here, even though its not mandatory. (good practice!) So we started writting a song and brainstroming ideas for the kinds of things we could do for a fund raisier.
After that there was a littel drama between Michelle and Chris (PL Chris) and when Chris got back (`cause he left to take other Chris home?) I helped sort it out. So it`s all good now. ^_^
I also learned today that the Work-partners and each PL write a letter of referance for each katimavik participant!!! >_< WHOOT! Katimavik also helps us set up our E-porfiles, but we have to wait till Steinbach where the internet is faster.
There was this huge thing of lightening that lit up the whole dran sky!!!!!!!!!!!!O.o
The song was still getting worked on, and I`d make the mistake of writting down ideas in my skecth book, so without asking, the others were.....well, basically defacing it. I mean, even if there were going to be some verues we didn`t use, its still my book and I perfer not having everything scribbled into oblivinon!
After that Michelle and I chatted and read some manga.
Now, it was 11:40pm and I headed to bed, only to find a text from Dad, so I called home. Got to say to Rebecca!!!!! >//<
Now its 12:25am T.t

Chisasibi Week Seven: Day 6: Aug 23: Movie Night!......kinda,......
Selpt in till just after 9am. Ate a breakfast of left over rice with the last of the pork-noodle soup and some more stir-fryed veggies.
In the morning, we completed the daily tasks, and I made more bread. (I won`t bore you with the details XP)
Lunchwas bread with Jam, and more bread with butter and chocolate chips.......>//< so much for eating healthy! Oh, boy.
After lunch Catherine and I cleaned the bread crumbs out of the dishwasher, `cause we use it as our bread basket. Then I cleaned the cupbroads. Most of our weekly tasks are now done.
Dinner was paninie, AKA bread, cheese, lettuce, ham and tomato all smushed togeher in the sandwhich griller. And there was humus. Cooking/frying the ham was my ordeal, while making the humas was Catherine`s. There was also a salade, and then a fruit salade for dessert. I thought the sandwhichs came out very well. And the fruit salade was very good! Louisa had dinenr with us.
After we finished eating, Michelle and I walked back to Louisa`s place with her to grab some rope to try and fix/stablize our mitchwap. (Didn`t do much good in the long run.....*sighs*) While I was helping tie the rope, I got called inside for a OLC meeting, and we preped BINGO. I was so happy to see the group putting in so much work together. >//< It was great!!!
Then I played cards with Louisa, Gordon, Talia, and Michelle. Then we all went downstaris and watched this super-weird-tripy version of Romeo and Juilette with French aduio and english sub-titles. Apperently it was made in 96 with Lenardo Decaprio.......It was super weird.......

Chisasibi Week Seven: Day 5: Aug 22: House Managers Again! and Sweet Grass
Got up around 7:30am and made steal cut oats for the 1st time, but I think I under cooked them a little.......I added a lot of brown sugar. :P
At 9am, Catherine and I did daily tasks with Catherine and by 11:30am we were done! We even managed to clean the fridge and mop all the floors. ^.^ I read of bit of this book Chris lent me called "Born Indian." (Realized a couple days later that it was from the school library XD)
For lunch I had leftover meat stuff with rice.It has bell peppers in it too, which was really good.
Then we went grocery shopping. Now, when we got up here, there was a store room in the basement full of food and house-hold stuff that had been bought in the south and brought up here because that was cheaper. However, this store still came out of our food budget, until we paid it off, which was done last week. So for Catherine and I, it was the 1st week anyone had the full $770 to spend. We spent just over half, so next time we have to spend $30 less than today. ^_^
Justin glasses finally arrived in the mail today. So before heading home we all went over to the school to see if we could find him. I ended up giving Catherine a tour while Chris stayed by the office in case Justin showed up there 'cause we paged him. We never did see him, so we just went home before the groceries melted.
After we unpacked all the food, I started on 2 batches of bread (4 loaves.) while Catherine took a nap. Then I started cutting up the veggies for a salade. At 4pm, Catherine woke up and we started doing dinner. We sat down to eat at 6:30pm, and the guest were Jack, his wife Elizabeth, and there 3 kids. The food was good, except for the fact that Catherine's rice-covered meatballs were still kinda raw, so a couple people had to microwave theirs. We also had roasted potates that had taken FOREVER to cook, and then there was that salade.
Michelle had also made another vegan chocolate cake for us because it was Baby Girl's B-day. (Jack's daughter.)
Crisco is my new BF. The bread literally just fell out of the pans. And Brandon made more bannock!
And, House managers AREN'T supposed to do dishes, but I ended up doing them anyway. And I didn't even get to finish cause then we all jumped in the van to go Sweet Grass picking with Jack. Again, it sucks to be a girl. I was lucky, but Julia and Michelle couldn't participate, 'cause you're not supposed to kill anything (especially scared herbs) while you're on your time..........*rolls eyes* I managed to get a pretty good amount of grass, and Nathan said I'd be able to make 2 braids no problem. (He tagged along with us.)
After we finished picking, when it got to dark to see what we were doing :P, Jack and his family drove home, while we stayed and checked out James Bay. It was really dark, and very cold, but daylight still clung to the sky in swaths of red. It was a very serene and peaceful place. Chris said that the tide was out super-low, which was pretty cool. The bay didn't seem very big though. Although there was this cool effect, where even though it was completely dark out, the pools of water on the sand and in between the island and rocks were all lit up. Well not "lit up" But they were........bright blue compared to everything else.......It's hard to describe but it was totally awesome!!!!!!
Back home I put my sweet grass in the chandelier so it could dry out, tomorrow we are gonna braid it. Then I made myself a cup of tea, had some bannock with raspberry jam, and told Michelle my "wicked-epic ocean adventure story!!" XP (....so maybe I'm exaggerating the excitement just a little >//<)
