music

I fell in love again with this radio station The Bear. It is a rock station based out of Edmonton, Alberta. I listen to it quite a bit while I am at work. Besides the music they play, the other thing that I love is that it shows the name of the band and the song while it is playing which is positively the awesomest for me because am terrible at remembering song titles & the artists. While I am on the subject of music, another website to check out is Garage Band for a variety of selection of independent music.

There. I am done advertising.

And, Happy February!

I don't really know what to write about today, but I am sitting in front of my computer with some free time so I thought, what the hell. I have been spending a lot of time at home recently. Doing the "mother" role. Its been relaxing actually, but am saving all my energy for my birthday weekend when I turn 25! Yah me. There is always a big cabaret on that weekend and this year, I am calling it my birthday party.

I am working on this project at work that has made going to work more enjoyable. There was a time that I wanted to throw in the ropes and call it quits. If it wasn't for the bills, I would have. But now, I like going to work. Well, not today, but thats because I was the receptionist this morning and there is nothing more I hate than answering phones. The phones were absolutely crazy this morning. I get to go shopping for new company vehicles! I love to shop. Especially when I am not using my own money. We are signing a new transportation agreement at the end of March and with this agreement, we get to purchase new vehicles AND I might be getting a raise! Yah Me!

I am about done typing here. Playing online poker right now. Gotta love poker :)

end of the year...

It is getting close to the end of another year and what a year it has been. Every christmas, we always have our dinner on the night of Christmas Eve. This year was no different, except for one thing. There was someone missing at the dinner table. My grandfather. My mom had seen this poem written in a newspaper and she read it to the whole family before dinner.

Spending my Christmas with Jesus this year.

My First Christmas in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below.
With tiny lights like Heaven's Stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tears For I am spending my Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me,dear ones, You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year

I felt like screaming. I felt like crying. I felt like kicking some ass. Yet, I sat there with a small, but fake, grin. I went and congratulated the winner, shook his hand and smiled. Growing up in a family of politicians, I had to learn to take the losses with the wins. My uncle was running again for the Grand Chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, but had lost at the second ballot. On the plus side, the second reading to implement the Kelowna Accord was passed. The was the good news of the day. That and Calgary Flames won!
