This Post is for You

So I'm off the wagon again, or is on the wagon. I'm referring to me not blogging for over a week. So what’s new you ask?

I'm still working on my parents kitchen, slowly getting somewhere. I'm still doing the electrical, but almost near the end. I've also almost closed in the ceiling seeing that it is almost October and dad was complaining about his head being cold (this would be because dad shaved his head and mustache off for charity, Way to go Dad!). I also hope to get the Electrical inspector in soon so I can close in the walls with drywall. I'm going to check to see if I can close them in before he inspects them. Then it'll be onto mudding and taping.

Marsha's two best friends are down in the Jaw for the week. I would have hoped they would have come earlier in the year to experience a little warmer weather. They have an agenda set for the week, well I guess I should say more of ideas, there’s no schedule. It looks like I'm not really part of it. Just kidding. I do have Friday off and they are going on a Tunnel tour, something I've never done. I'll have to see how busy I am on Friday. Not that I feel left out, her frineds have come to visit her not me, so I'm not hurt, I just wish I had some Marsha time. Marsha also got me a massage for tomorrow. My hip has been quite uncomfortable lately. I'm sure Carl can fix that.

This post was suppose to be posted last week, I think. Marsha and I went out to the Port, Caronport, for a good meal with our friends out there. Shane mentioned that I needed to post more, and I see that he hasn't posted recently himself. So this post is for you Shane. Keep the comments coming cause it helps me to get the ambition the following week to do it.

My friend Josh is back in town from Vancouver. He's back for a few months before he takes off to Japan to teach English to businessmen. This is the second friend that will be overseas teaching English. Apparently good money.

Work is stressful as usual, but I've come to realize that this isn't the job for me. I'm looking into Carpentry for next fall, if not earlier.

Well there’s a post, hopefully I can keep it up.

Survey Says

Emo Kid
You are 28% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant.

You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy! You tend to be an intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your feelings than your thoughts. Not only that, but you are introverted, gentle, and rather humble. You embody all the traits of the perfect emo kid. You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke. If you write poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression, sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being. Your personality is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too inhibited.

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Smartass.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist.

Surprise, It's My Birthday

So another year older. Yes, it's true, I'm now 22. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was 21, well ok maybe 2 days ago.

Marsha threw me a surprise birthday shindig at the lake on Sunday night. About 13 people made appearances. More were invited, but some couldn't make it and some got lost on their way. (sorry you missed the party Kevin, you should have just called ME for directions) I had an idea there was something going on. Marsha had been preparing since Thursday, and I kept getting in her way whenever possible. But it was a success, I was surprised. I knew there was going to be a birthday cake made by Marsha as she's exploring a new hobby, cake decorating.

I kept my birthday on the downlow at work. Some knew, well actually only one. Marsha decorated my truck with balloons and a Happy Birthday banner. We went for dinner with my parents. We introduced Marsha to some Thai food at a world known restaurant "Nit's". We might have ordered it a bit spicy, I was sweating, but that's cause I'm already HOT and to add Thai to the mix good luck. I also met up with my friend Jon and gf Kinda for a traditional BP's birthday cake. Again, one more year of Jon and I singing Happy Birthday to myself.

As for presents, I got some fun gifts and some more practical, a small LEGO set, an Arubix cube, a 2L pail of Rolo ice cream, a couple of gift cards for SEARS and Canadian Tire (so I can add to my tool collection), a couple of shirts (Simpson's and a shirt that has a quote that fits me well "I have decided to put myself in charge"), a book of my favourite band called U2 Show that talks about the side most don't see of U2, the technical end. (yes I know Braden and a book, you might be saying "I don't know about this" but it has lots of pictures (key) and interesting articles on sound, lighting, and special effects) and the usual tool from the parents a mitre saw leg set. I'm still waiting for some from my bro and sis, hint, hint.

As for the not posting. Some of you may know that I'm renovating my parents kitchen. We started about a month ago, shortly after the last post, with some help from friends and are now down to bare bones in the kitchen. Mom and Dad are still living at the lake, getting cold but I think it's warmer out there than in town with the big holes in the ceiling and the furnace shut off to prevent spreading of dust. It's going slowly, but getting there. The demo was more than I expected but you never know what you are going to get yourself into. Here are some pictures some might find interesting.

DURING DEMO

The first hole in the Wall. 1-2-3 and the walls came tumbling down.AFTER DEMO

Look, no walls! Everything but the kitchen sink.The progress has furthered but have been stuck on wiring for the past few weekends. I'll try to keep up with the posting and not fall behind one and a half months, Egads.
