Wild Scavenger Hunts and Christmas Carols in May

This is my 50th post! It's only been about 5 months since I deleted all my posts so on average that's about a post every four days. Wow! So 100th post will be in another while

I am officially an adult now...don't I feel grown up? Lol. Well it was my birthday yesterday and unfortunately I'm sick! and I am supposed to have my birthday party tonite...well I still am I just don't feel great. My throat is scratchy, I think I'm getting laryingitis again where it hurts to talk. That's great for teaching swimming lessons isn't it??

yesterday I bought a new bike! I love it..it's lighter and it just looks so nice! I'm excited to start riding it to work and such. I was very happy to say that my sister came to youth with me yesterday, it is going to be a rare occasion but it was a blast. And Chris and Zack were here from Thompson so I also had a good time with them last night. We had M180 Amazing Race and we had all these clues sort of like a scavenger hunt all over town. We were supposed to raise money but we only managed to raise about $160. But itwas fun nonetheless. I have some good stories to tell. The first is our first clue. We went to the Saskatoon Inn and had to get a napkin and Chris was asking people to donate money and one guy he asked was such a grouch and he said, "No you kids just want it for beer money," and Chris said "no we even have a letter" and he's like no that's just fake, I saw you kids come out of the bar, you just want to buy beer. Uh huh. No offense but Chris looks like he could be 12 years old and he wants to buy beer. Are you on crack?? I mean obviously the bartender would let him buy the beer in the first place. Right. So continuing on we had to find out what a Marquis was..and nobody knew! The answers we got were a horse racing track and a kind of car. I actually think it is a horse racing track though.

We also called Pastor Jason a rebellious leader because we thought the clue was referring to him. I'm sure he was a little surprised by that confrontation. So funny though. It was actually referring to Louie Riel. So we had to go to Place Riel at the U of S and sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas to two people and get them to sign their name. Problem was that it was 9 on a friday night!! SO there was one girl sitting there waiting for the bus so we sang our little ditty to her but there was no one else there. So the bus came driving along and I'm like, "Ask the bus driver, ask the bus driver." So Ashley says to the bus driver, "can we sing to you?" so we did and as she was signing the paper, Ashley says, "You can all sign it too if you want to," to the rest of the bus and they all just stare back at her. Everyone is just straight faced. it was hilarious. So that was our night. It was great although I wasn't quite feeling all there and also I think my throat feels worse because of it. But it was my birthday! I couldn't stay home, especially since there were people from out of town visiting.

I just watched North Country. It is such a good movie. It is inspired by a true story and it is about a woman who stood up because she and other woman were being sexually harassed at the mine they worked at. I wanted to cry about 5 times through the movie. It was a really moving story. Anyways, I am tired, I slept about 4.5 hours last night. I doubt I will sleep now but I can't concentrate on the screen anymore. I hate missing work! It means less money. I think it is my body telling me I need to take a break though. That's what happened after I came back from Thompson. Anyways, I will stop rambling on. I have a tendency to do that.

Until next time...
