Insert witty title here:_________

I have 2 days before I am officially on Holidays. Two whole working days and I'm done for two whole weeks. The only minus is Shawn goes back to School. I can't wait for work to be over... I am in desperate need of a break. Little things are really starting to bother me. It will be good to get far, far, far away from there.
I can pick up the pictures from the wedding today, happy about that.
I haven't even begun to start packing for camping next week. I figure I will leave it till the last minute like I do everything else. I had so much fun last year...except for the whole stick in the eye incident.... which I guarantee will not be repeated.
Last night we went out hot tubing, it was nice. I got to relax. I so think we need one of those out here we would be in it all the time.


So yeah, this will be my last post before Holidays, catch you all later.

Build a man a fire, you warm him for a day. Set a man on fire, you warm him for the rest of his life.

Only seven more days till I am on Holidays! Yeah that’s right I get to be out of the Hell hole I call work for two weeks... the minus however is that at the end of those two weeks Shawn goes back to school again. I hate it when he leaves. I wish I could go with him.
So as far as I know we are going to Townsend Lake again this year for a week and the second week we are apparently going to Banff. Which should be very cool. I have never been to the mountains, I plan on taking lots of pictures, and I will try not to get eaten by a bear.
I wonder how much wood Pyro is going to be collecting this year....

Always a Bride's Maid never the Bride.....

So Rose's wedding went very well. She looked like a princess. It didn't start to rain till after all the pictures were done. Had alot of fun. The cake turned out really well even though it didn't make it to the hall in one piece... Luckily mom fixed it, I bet no one at the wedding even noticed.
My speech would have been really good..... if I had the guts to actually go up and say it. when I got up there I froze.... luckily Merle saved my butt.... I still feel really bad about it, even though Rose and Marty both said it was ok.
The night was going really good, when my parents and Shawn and I left, it was still raining pretty good. Which made the 310 like soup. Shawn and I slid into the ditch. Nothing was damaged... which is a good thing.

Here comes the bride......

I am a happy camper. I finished the speech for Rose's wedding one less thing I have to worry about. I had a little help from a website...however I can't remember the name of it. Just two more days. The wedding cake is coming along nicely. My mom is doing an excellent job. I hope Rose will be happy with it, I know I would be.

Here is my speech for those of you who won't be attending. leave a comment to let me know what you think.
*****
For those of you who don’t already know me my name is Tanya and I have been friends with Rose since kindergarten. Rose has been a great friend in so many ways. We've had a lot of fun together, and she's always been there for me when things were tough. When Rose asked me to be her Maid of Honor I was filled with pride and wondered what I had done to deserve such an honor. However as the day approached I was informed that I would need to make a speech. Just so you know I hate giving speeches, and I will be getting even with Rose. One day…

I have been thinking long and hard as to what to say today. I have been told it is tradition to offer the married couple some words of wisdom on married life! So I asked around and was told the following things:
Some said marriage begins when you sink into his arms and ends up with arms in his sink. Others would say that before marriage a man will lay awake thinking about something you said, after marriage he’ll fall asleep before you have finished saying it. Now I’m sure some of you here can relate to that!Now just because I'm not married and never have been; doesn't mean I'm not an expert on the subject. So here are one single girls words of wisdom for the newly married couple, Marty I hope your listening carefully.
* One word: FLUSH
* Remember the phrases: You're right dear, Okay buy it.
* If you're clever you'll always have the last word, BUT if you're really clever you won't use it!
* When you're wrong admit it, when you're right shut up!
* Share everything including the bedcovers.
* The best way to remember an anniversary is to forget it once.
* Set the ground rules first then do everything Rose tells you.
* Do not let Rose ride BMX bikes…She might forget who you are.
* Lastly one for the bedroom: laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone on the couch.

Just remember a marriage is made in heaven, but the maintenance work is to be carried out on earth!

Finally, may you both continue to grow in love, not forgetting the importance of understanding, forgiveness and tolerance. But most importantly, may you never forget the love that brought you together today – a love so strong that you decided to share it forever in each other’s company.
May your love be like the wind, strong enough to move the clouds, soft enough to never hurt but be always and never ending!

Congratulations to you both.

Stop, children,what's that sound?

I really don't have much to say today. I worked and oh, what fun I din't have. Working with the public can really make you hate people. Anyway, the following is from a website called "Sinfest". Anyway yeah I though this was amusing. take a peek.

*~*
When I was little I thought adults had it made. They were much bigger, first of all, and they had all this cash to buy all the candy and toys they wanted. They went to these mysterious things called "jobs" and they could drive those car machines. What's more, they seemed to know things I didn't know. Important things. Meaningful things. Like how come sometimes they left the turn signal on after they'd already made the turn? There must be some reason to leave that bink bink bink sound on. But under what circumstances? And for how long? And why does monetary currency come in 1s and 5s and 10s but not 3s or 7s? This was especially crucial because I had big plans to one day utilize this money stuff to purchase large amounts of candy and toys. What if I went up to the cashier with a batch of Now-and-Laters and Transformers and he rang me up and it came out to $7.32? I'd look pretty foolish standing there without a 7 dollar bill. Or a 32 cent coin, for that matter. Anyway, these and other questions filled my childhood, but I had faith that, once inducted to the hallowed space of adulthood, the answers would come...
