Where shall I begin...
My church retreat was good. The classes were very good. Socially it was a little uneventful. I did try to make amends with a former friend so hopefully we can patch things up. We are going to see each other in a couple weeks so that will be the true test.
After the retreat, group of us met at my friends Shannon & Ky's place. There were about 16 of us there and we played Cranium. I had such a good team. (We won, I don't lode board games often). It was really strange because me and my friend Alex seem to have some sort of nexus. We seemed to be the only ones to know what the other was thinking during the game. Alex is a strange duck so that is a little scary for me.
Monday night, me and some friends went to watch a friend's hockey game. She is a 13 year old girl from my church that I tutor. It seems strange to have such a young friend but she is such a sweet girl. I have got to know her quite well since I began to tutor her. I feel like her big sister (she has none). This is the first time I was able to watch her play hockey. The best part about the evening was we were able to embarrass her "thinks he is too cool for words but really a goof ball" 15 year old brother. My friends and I yelled "Woooo Kyle!" as he passed by. His friend (also named Kyle) put his hand on Kyle's shoulder in sympathy.
Tuesday night we had another dinner party at our household. We quite the gang because a guy that likes one of my roommates (don't worry Mike, it is not your wife) and my roommate just wants to be friends. She wanted as much support as she could get. I made stew and apple-pear crisp. The plan was for my friend Ky and I to spend the afternoon together then everyone else be there for supper. She is one of my closest friends and we never have time to hang out just the two of us. Everyone else came early but she came late. We spent the afternoon watching my season 1 DVD of "Corner Gas". All I got to say is "My loins ache for goat felons" (You'd understand the hilarity if you have seen the show).
Wednesday, Ky and I attempted again to hang out with each other. She invited me to her house for the afternoon to watch Superstar and for supper. She was so sick and both of us were so tired. We spent the afternoon trying not fall asleep. I forgot my cell phone at home and I kept getting calls at her house. I probably got more calls at her house than I do at my own house normally in a day.
I cannot seem to shake this cold. *Cough, Cough* It is a little worse today because I subbed in a class with a chalkboard. It is really just an allergy thing. I was at my cousin Pamella's (intentional misspelling) school. I have subbed there before but we have never run into each other. We saw each other twice today and it freaked her out. The only thing I have to say about the rest of the day is in my professional opinion grade 9 boys are idiots. It is a scientific fact.
My mom and dad are stopping by my place tomorrow. They are on their way to take my grandma to North Battleford and to stay for the weekend. I also hope to visit some high schools in the city to introduce myself to the vice principals (the ones who call subs). Hopefully I can start getting more work. Even though at the end of the month the school division is getting an automated system to call subs. The teacher might be able to request a specific sub so it still might be a good idea to do some networking.
Mike, Stephanie and Angela would like to thank you for the pizza. I told Ang you are practicing a love ballad for her but I refuse to tell her which one. She thinks it is "Lost that Loving Feeling". She is so naive.
