Adventures in Stoon

Day 1 in good ol' Saskatoon! Today was such a good day, got up at 7am dropped puppy and Jon off at the airport, went to Starbucks for coffee to read my book. I headed over to the mall where I found the best deals ever! Made my way over to my cuzins and went out for lunch, then went to walmart. I was making my way over to the hotel when I decided to go renew my license. Right beside SGI was JYSK I went in just to walk around and to kill some time. They had pretty much everything on sale!!! I bought one of those oil diffusers (rasberry), a really nice creamy colored table cloth, a smaller black table cloth and a string panel. THEN i finally made my way over to the hotel to check in.
I was expecting the hotel room to be just like every other hotel...your typical striped bed cover.....hard bed...mushy pillows...blah blah blah. Well I walked into my room and it is amazing! Big pillow top mattress, fluffy duvet, marshmallow pillows, mini fridge, tv, cool bathroom! *sigh* relaxation!
I was debating going down to eat some supper earlier and I wasn't sure how to charge it to the room (its a business trip). So I asked the front desk how I go about doing it and she says, 'well you may come down to the restaurant and just tell the person serving you that you would like to charge it to your room OR just order room service!!!!!!!!!!! I'll give you one guess what I did!?!?!?! You got it, ordered room service! It was sooooooo yummy, stirfry with rice and some yummy ginger sauce.
Tomorrow I start training 10am wish me luck!

Nerves

I got a new job! I start training on Sat. Jon is flying up on friday morning and I get to stay in Stoon for training. I've never stayed in a hotel by myself. Sounds kinda stupied but i'm not looking forward in having breakfast and supper alone in a restaurant. However I will probably get a lot of reading in. I started reading twilight, never thought i would be into it but I like them!
Well that's my blurb for the day!
Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

If someone is still reading...leave a comment everynow and again will ya!

Time...

So much time has already gone by. Christmas this year was different, yet relaxing. My dad came up for a visit. It was nice to have him up for x-mas made it feel more like home. Dinner was very yummy and the people were so much fun! We had turkey, potatos, veggies, cranberry sauce, buns, meatballs, salad, and many more goodies! The holidays seemed to fly by!

Dad and I came back to Winnipeg together just before New years! I headed out to the cabin for New years. Watched some hockey, ate some good food and enjoyed everyones company!

The 2 weeks to follow were, lets just say not at all what I came home for. Understanding that a lot has changed since Thanksgiving. However I did not come home to get tied up in foolish childish games. I'm not saying I know it all because I don't but RESPECT is a pretty simple word to follow. Kinda sad to come home and not be able to have the entire family in one room without someone saying something wrong or someone taking something the wrong way. Did we all loose the meaning of family? Hopefully one day, when its not to late everyone will realize just how much we mean to eachother.

Wedding invites are all printed! Started putting them all together, I can honestly say that i love them! Took some fonts, sizing, twisting and turning but we managed to come up with an awesome design! Stay tuned!
We also got a couple more things booked for the big day, i'm starting to get excited!

9 days left in the city then back to reality, life.

Day 1

November 25, 2009

I figured if I start writing about my challenge it will motivate me to keep on track and maybe inspire some of you to jump on the fitness train.

We finally got our elliptical we bought awhile ago. Today was my first day using it, I started with 20 mins. Its crazy how out of shape I really am. I never ‘loved’ my body but I never hated it. It was just one of those things, I was ‘comfortable’. I’m not going to call this my new years resolution, its just something simply that im doing for myself. To get fit, feel good, and love myself. I want to wake up and look in the mirros and say that I love myself again. I'm going to start with 20min-25mins a day for the next week, from there I will increase to 30mins and we will see where this road leads us! Wish me luck, i'm gonna need it!
