Feedback makes me feel special. 
Well, here I am. I was recently doing some major catching up on reading my friend's blogs. And you know, they both mention that they don't hear a lot from me... so here I am. I know it was a long time ago, but I think I'm ready to type another post and keep you all updated on my life.
Plus, the last post recieved 17 COMMENTS?? I am just... flattered. Thank you very much.
So where to begin? My summer has been very laid back and I have to admit I'm getting kind of sick of it. I need more adventure! Diffy is in Saskatoon, naturally, for she goes there every summer. And with Sarah being on the other side of the valley, it's also been tough for us to hang out lately. But we did at Rum Runner Days. And boy, was last weekend ever hectic! I have never seen more people crammed onto Blairmore Main Street in my life. My mom was talking to this lady who came down from Calgary, and my mother joked "You come here to escape all the hype of Calgary, but it's not much better here, is it?" Which is very true. This only happens once a year in the small municipality of the Crowsnest Pass. If you're reading this, Meredith, I only wish you could see how busy it gets here during that weekend, because you probably only have the slightest idea. 
Anyway, Sarah and I hung out at Emily's house. Well, more in her loft... which was also crowded. But we ate pizza and watched Emily's newborn sister (Awwww!!!) and even though my snobby sister was there, I had fun! The day after the hectic day (Saturday) I went to the multicultural food fair which is held in the old school behind my house anyway. I go there only for the Italian food. How I dream of going to Italy one day! 
And then I bought some Japanese candy to bring home. That day was real pleasant. But it didn't end there, because my dad made last minute plans for us to head out to Drumheller. At 7pm, we booked a hotel in Taber and packed the van. The hilarious part though, was when my sister opened the back door of the the van and my insanely large dog jumped in and refused to move. She gave up trying to lure him out with treats and he sat there, with the door wide open in our drive way leading to the freedom of the baseball field, for ten minutes all by his lonesome. He just didn't want us to leave him behind. Eventually I had to climb in and use all of my strength to push him out, and we did feel guilty about leaving him at the house, but it was all for the better. My doggy loves us very much and we love him more.
On Monday morning we set out from Taber to Drumheller, and the ride was very exhausting. Hours of flat prairie and an uncomfortable middle seat- it's like the trip to Saskatoon all over again. Eventually we arrived and the museum was very impressive. Unfortunetely I could have enjoyed it more if my family didn't have to rush through everything. Can't I just stand and read about this planet's history for one minute? Despite this, I discovered that my favourite dinosaur is the claudiosaurus.
Yesterday I went to Sarah's house. Her family was puppysitting - it's a long story, but the puppy was white and fluffy and just drop dead gorgeous. I had funny playing tug-a-war with her and tickling her tummy while Sarah and her sister painted their deadly unfunished deck. We took the dogs (puppy and Sarah's dog) for a walk, and then the puppy was finally exhausted. It was real sweet that Sarah's dog got to be a mommy for a day, and a great job at it too.
And now today is like any other day this summer that I didn't mention in this post... just being lazy. I need some motivation to get off my butt and stop eating for one thing. At the beginning of July, my body went through drastic changes. I kept losing weight and my fat percentage jumped from 25% to 21%! My goal was to reach 20% by the time I leave for my trip to Saskatoon to meet Diffy in early August. Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but now I've climbed my way to 23.5% again and my confidence is dropping. When I go out for trips I eat fast food and sit in the van all day... I can't help it. But today I know I've been guilty of eating a little too much and not excercising nearly enough. I think I should post often and keep mentioning my current fat percentage... it may just help me to keep on track. I hope you don't mind!
On the bright side, I do have to work today. You may think I'm insane, but I like working because it gives me something to do, and I'm also excercising because I walk back and forth without sitting for four or five hours and I don't eat during then. And who can forget that I get paid for it! So it all adds up as a major positive. The only problem is when I'm working. I have to work tonight, which isn't a big deal, for I can most likely watch So You Think You Can Dance tongiht at 11pm on the BC channel (Oh, how I love satelite!) But two weeks ago I missed the performance night of the show. I have to five hours on Saturday night, and my mom and I planned to visit Lethbridge for the day, so we have to return home earlier than planned. And I also have to Monday night, and miss Canadian Idol. Not that it's a MAJOR loss... it would have been if Sheldon, Nancy and Keith were still in the competition, or any of the above. But that's life when you're working, and you lose TV viewing time. (And I only watch an average of one hour of it a day!)
I think Meredith will be pleased to learn that I have currently $350 saved up for the trip when I go to see her... and I'll be getting one more paycheck from work before then, so it's an added $100. Plus my mother will be paying for necessary expensives. 
Shopping, here we come! Sarah, Meredith and I will have a blast together. It's certainly going to be the highlight of my summer.
I assume I should probably sign off now, because this post is extremely long as it is. That's what you get for a... 3 month absense now? Oh well, I'm here now. I should probably mentioned that I started a blog for me to write my Canadian Idol reviews in, but I have lost hope in it due to the fact that I've lost hope in Canada's taste in amazing singers and the will to pick up the phone and vote for talent, not looks... I better stop before this turns into a big long rant.
I hope you're having a fantastic summer. I will post again soon... hopefully!!!
Carolyn.
