I am officially 23 now.

I had a very nice birthday on thursday, and received muchly nice gifts.

In other news, the name of the game today is barbeques and babysitting. Going to my cousin Mary-Beth's barbeque this afternoon, then coming home and going babysitting. Having fun, AND making money, yay!

It's my birthday in a week. Less than a week actually...July 27th to be precise. I'll be turning 23, which is freaking me out a little. getting older is both exciting, and scary sometimes.

I'm 22...I'm 22...I'm 22...I'm going to say that while I still can, for after next week I won't be able to. I'm going to go and try and deal with some of this emotional age angst that I'm feeling right now...

I have the second weekend of performance for the murder mystery I am producer for, and it's supposed to be uber hot all weekend. :( And, like most of the plays I do with this particular theatre group, it is outside, which is probably going to mean hot and itchy times for me. After spending last weekend outside my allergies were really acting up this week, and I will not be surprised if that happens again this weekend...oh well, at least I got a new sunscreen tonight. Hopefully I won't be allergic to this one, and it will keep me from getting burned, yay no sunburn!!! It is supposed to be like 32 degrees out sat and sunday, so I guess I will be dressing lightly...

My email is acting up, being really stupid and uncooperative for some reason, and I am really itchy and crappy feeling from my allergies...going to go curl up and watch more What Not To Wear, hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

Sometimes I worry that it's all going to slip away. What I want and what I dream for myself, and that I'll slip into some humdrum mundane existance where the dreams I had are but distant memories.

Realizations for the day...

I was looking at my blog profile, and I just realized I have been blogging it up for over three years. I have kept this sucker up for three years running...that's a pretty long time...who woulda thunk it three years ago that I'd still be writing in this thing today...

I was just doing some tidying, and going over some papers in my room, and I had some papers to add to my journal. So I sat down and took a glance over it, and I found my List of things to do. Well I guess I haven't taken a good look at it for a little while, because much to my delight I was able to check something off, and then as I kept reading to my greater surprise I was able to check off a second activity. Those two things I wanted to do I will not share here, they are rather personal and kind of involved with something that is still going on in my life...however, happily I was able to check off THREE more things on my list that I will share here; cook an entire dinner (from scratch including dessert and everything, and I'm not talking scrambled eggs here people), get into teachers college, and stage manage a play. These are all things which I have relatively recently achieved, but it didn't occur to me to check them off on my little list. Now you may laugh at the fact that I actually have a list written down of things that i want to do, but it makes me happy and I like it so I don't care. On total, I was able to cross off FIVE things on my List Of Things To Do...a very successful and pleasing event which came about because I was being industrius and cleaning, yay me!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Proud to be a Canadian girl, and ready to celebrate it!
