a quick rundown...

A quick rundown as to what I have been doing...

Sun., July 15, 2007: Drove to Prince Albert to stay overnight at a friends place (in order to wake up early to do some errands before doing some major grocery shopping for staff retreat)

Mon., July 16, 2007: Slept In - Damn It. Major running around before finally meeting up with a couple co-workers to shop at the Canadian Wholesale. Ventured on to Thompson's Camp, north of La Ronge, in the evening after getting a damn seatbelt ticket in town. Arrived late and with a flat tire. The boys changed my tire. Thank You.

Tue., July 17, 2007: Woke up to a beautiful, sunny shining day. Went fishing from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Nice tan. Played poker this evening. Awesome.

Wed., July 18, 2007: Attended meetings from 10 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Counting the hours and minutes till I got to go fishing again. Yah!! Candace and I went fishing in one boat and was following the boys in the other boat. Found the Twin Falls and the North Falls. I got some great pictures of the rapids and an eagle nest. Candace only panicked once. Not bad. It was when we supposedly almost went down the rapids. Hrmph! I had everything under control. Took a wrong turn on the way back somewheres and was temporarily lost. We arrived back at camp at about 11:30 that evening after the "Search & Rescue Team" attempted to find us, but by then we were 5-10 minutes away. Damn islands kept moving. Like, I said, everything under control.

Thu., July 19, 2007: Attended meetings again from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Uneventful fishing trip this evening. More beautiful pictures that I will get to posting someday. Played Poker.

Fri., July 20, 2007: Packed up to go back to Prince Albert. Tire almost fell off from truck (literally!!) around 30 minutes from town. Barely made it back. Had to spend the night in town to get the tire & rim repaired and replaced.

Sat., July 21, 2007: Got a new used rim! Everything good to go. Did some shopping. Stopped off at McFee Lake on the way home because some friends were camping there for the weekend. Ended up sitting around the campfire, talking and laughing till about 3 a.m. Am exhausted! But seriously girls, some of those stories ... definitely NOT campfire stories.

Sun., July 22, 2007: I was suppose to go fishing today on Bittern Lake with Norm and friends. Change of Plans! I went for a drive with Lisa and had a few drinks then checked out Wheezy and Steve at their campsite. Sat around the campfire again.

Mon., July 23, 2007: Got up early in the damn morning to go into town for a dentist appointment. Hottest day of the freaking year and no air conditioning! I survived, barely. The dentist took my favourite tooth. Bastard.

Tue., July 24, 2007: Went to work today. Bad Idea. Everything was crazy. There was a very brief power outage yesterday that screwed up the phone lines. The phone company came down, got it going. The power company was called - fixed a transformer. The back-up generator did work today, although it worked yesterday. An electrician had to be called for some electrical work (duh!) that was imbalanced? Lord knows.

Wed., July 25, 2007: Worked for a couple hours then went into town to pick up new cell phones for our taxi's and to take the nursing van in for some vehicle maintenance. Almost finished reading the new Harry Potter Book. Stayed up way too late, again.

Thu., July 26, 2007: Went to work. Kinda crazy, but not that bad. Finished the Harry Potter Book during my lunch hour! Our annual golf tournament was today. I did not attend, didn't really know about the event even if our family hosts it every year. It's different now. Still miss my favourite tooth. It hurts. Really, the dentist is a bastard.

Thompson's Camp here I come again !

wow .. look at me posting twice in one month! I am over at Candaces again for the night. We will be taking off to Thompson's Camp tommorow for the week on a staff retreat. I am looking forward to a week of fishing and playing poker! Can life get any better than that?! I was already up there last week for meetings and had a blast. It was ... lets say ... relaxing and adventurous ... On the first day there .. we had a blow out on one of the tires of the car .. then could have been a snack for a bear ... I didn't even get to take a picture of the bear .. Found out that I can still run though! And apparently, you are not suppose to run from a bear .. Now people tell me!

It is Sunday morning and I have been up for a couple of hours already. There are people sleeping everywhere in this joint. I am over at Janna's apartment and I have been here all weekend. We are taking off back home today so I can go pack up and take off to Thompson's Camp tommorow for a week of fishing ... (and working, I suppose).

Tash, if you are reading this send me an email with the url to your website! I went and changed the template on my blogger here and your website link disappeared. You know me, I am forgetful and have even forgotten the url to my own site.

Okay, people are stirring about now ...
