I don't know how this You Tube thing works, but I figure I would check it out... This video was taken at the Karate Tournament this past weekend in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. This is my nephew performing his Kata ...

queen for a day or two...

Leaving Saskatchewan...

I got to the airport in Saskatoon at about 5:00 a.m. on Monday morning. I had went to bed around midnight and was up by 4:00 in the morning. I kept waking up every 1/2 hour because I was too scared too sleep in. After I got my boarding pass, I went straight to Tim Hortens to grab myself a much needed coffee. I stood in line to get through the security check and when I finally got to gates, I was told that I could not take my coffee past security check! How rude is that! After grumbling and sipping a 1/4 of my coffee, I threw it away. I pray to the Coffee Gods for forgiveness! I went through the security check all right, but they went through my carry-on bag and threw away my hairspray, mousse, and thermal spray! They also went through my purse because apparently my dolphin keychain looked suspicious! The plane ride to Toronto was uneventful, but very tiring. I hate aisle seats.

Arriving in Toronto...

I was still half asleep and was not able to sleep on the plane. We picked up our luggage and proceeded out to Gate D where a car was there to pick us up and take us to our hotel room. We checked into our hotel rooms and met downstairs in the restaurant for breakfast/dinner. The other people were quite excited to be in Toronto and wanted to go site seeing and all I could think of was the very comfortable looking bed and pillow that I had seen in my room. I put away my "tired eyes" and put on my "adventurous eyes" We were told that we can use the car and driver to take us wherever we wanted that day. After dinner, we phoned up the car company and they come to pick us up. We ended up in Niagra Falls! It was my second time seeing the Falls, but it is so spectacular that I can go there over and over again.





We got back around 8:00 that evening and went straight to a restaurant called "Milestone's Bar & Grill" to meet one of the Sales Executive of the Software Company that we were to see the next day for a business meeting. The food was so delicious and we left there stupidly full! By the time we got back to the hotel room, we were all too tired to think straight.

The next day was our meeting day. The car was sent to the hotel to pick us at 8:45 a.m. and after a 40 minute drive, we arrived to our meeting place. The meeting was very interesting and informative. When I was first told that I was going to Toronto, I had no idea what kind of meeting I was going to. When people asked me why I was going to Toronto, my reply was, "I don't know, but I will find out when I get there!" Our meeting ended early and we were all set to go shopping! Me and boys went ahead to the Pro Bass Shop (The only one in Canada!!) and I got myself some sweet fishing gear! The girls had stayed behind at the office to wait for the stretch limo that was being sent and they met up with us at the Pro Bass Store. From there we proceeded to the Hockey Hall of Fame and then to the CN Tower to have supper at the revolving restaurant.





After supper, we took a detour and drove around the city in the limo. We got back to the hotel pretty late again and real exhausted. We were spoiled big time and all expenses were covered!

Leaving Toronto...

After watching a movie in the room, I went straight to bed just to get a phonecall at 6:00 a.m. to say that the car was waiting for us downstairs and we had to take off to the airport right away! Six o'clock in Toronto was 4:00 a.m. here! How tired was I! We got to the airport in time and security check went ok. My first stop after the security gates? Tim Hortens. I love the Toronto Airport! They think to have the Tim Hortens store and a whole lotta other gift stores after the Security Checks. I spent the rest of the time, browsing while waiting to board the plane.

Arriving back home...

We arrived back in Saskatchewan at about 10 o'clock in the morning. I went straight to Prince Albert, did some shopping and cruized home in time to take a shower and run to my Karate Class! I was so exhausted from the past 3 days that I slept for a whole 12 hours lastnight!! Loved it.

p.s. I now have internet at home once again!

Toronto...

I am heading to Toronto in the morning. The flight leaves at 6:00 a.m. and I have to be at the airport by 5:00 o'clock in the freaking morning! I am so excited, but at the same time, I am scared to sleep in! I will be back by the Day After Tuesday and should, hopefully, be back on the reserve that evening for my Karate Class. I don't want to miss class seeing I can do a whole five pushups! *laughs* Pitiful, I know, but I have got to be the weakest person ever so that is good for me! If I don't feel the need to go back to work on Thursday, I will have a super long weekend! I am scheduled to be off from work for the whole week. We will see how that goes. I have to be up in about 5 hours, I should get to bed.

Goodnight!

Bad Luck Continues...

I think my bad luck continued on from Pam's Car. It started out by something as simple as renting a scratched movie and being 7 minutes late of exchanging it. My change purse got lost. It had my bank card, credit card, drivers license, status card and my gas money home. So here I was, stuck in town, with no money and a truck that was on empty. As soon as I realized that it wasn't in my friends truck, like I originally thought it would be, I called the bank. Yeah. They probabaly didn't believe it was really me. I couldn't answer any questions to verify it was really me they were talking too! That was funny. Pitiful, but funny. I didn't know my credit card number. I didn't know the phone number associated to my card or if I had my card for over five years. I didn't know my age. Oh hell, I have been lying about my age for years, I fool myself! I told them my date of birth and got them to do the math. I did, however, remember the last transaction made on my card and for how much! How proud was I?! It was for a freaking seat belt ticket! Damn cops anyways. Anywhos, after losing my purse thing, I went for a ride with Janna. We were two blocks away and we ran out of gas. I told her maybe I shouldn't have went for a ride with her because am nothing but bad luck. Seriously now, I was going to go pick up my truck to get her gas, but with my bad luck, I would probably run out of gas right beside her! It would have been out of support though!

I do see a bit of sunshine in the tunnel though!! I found an old picture ID that was in my truck. Using that ID, I was able to pick up the money that my brother wired me from the states. My brother to the rescue!

Terynce Birthday Party

I went to a birthday party for my nephew Teryence yesterday. Yummy Cake & Ice Cream!!








On the way home, Pam tried to kill me...





We were just about home! We had decided to go on the old road to get back to the reserve .. I hear Pam screaming .. I look beside me .. and there goes the tire ... cruizing past the car ... DAMN. I did not just say that. Anywhos, Pam is trying to kill me off, I swear. I am all her friend. WHY? I think by the end of the night, we had come to the conclusion .. It is Lorna's fault. If only Lorna had Teryence a day earlier. The car was just fine on Tuesday ... *shrugs*
