New Car

Here is a picture of my "new" car that I pick up on Tuesday.

I have not posted in a while

I have had a busy month so I have not had time to post anything.

I love my new job. I am always busy and I love that fact. I am also learning so much about property management that I am learning something new every day. I am also now a property manager of my own buildings (12 in all) and so I am very busy.

My car broke down on Monday and with Michelle's car also broken down we were down to one car until Wednesday which was really weird because we have not had to juggle all of our schedules for the past four years since we bought our cars. So my mom had to bus us all around last week.

Hmm...

Car Problems :(

I was on my was to work today and I was all worried about being late because a) I Left Late and B) I was stuck behind a slow moving vehicle from Villeneuve all the way to Highway 16A which of those who do not know where this is is around 14 km. So as I get to the over pass I notice that my car is vibrating very bad aka it was shaking but when I slowed down it stopped and I never thought about it until I speed up again and it started virabing again and I was just thinking please do not let it be flat I have to be on time for work but yes it was flat. So now I am stuck on Hwy 16A with a flat tire so I slowly drive to the next road which was not very far maybe 250 m and pull over as to not obstruct rush hour traffic. So I call my work and told them that I would be late and then I called AMA so they could change my tire because although I have changed a tire before I can never get the lug nuts off so anyways I had to wait for 2 hours on the side of the road for them to come and I was really late for work thankfully it is over now and I am getting my tire fixed so that I can get safely home tonight without the mishaps.

Finally

I got a job and not a moment too soon. I was getting bored being home all day and i like the job because I am always busy. It was kind of funny how I got the job. I woke up early yesterday morning and the phone rings and it is a person offering me a job that started in 30 min and that would take me 45 min to drive there because of all the construction. So I quickly got ready but I was 30 min late because of the late notice and I started to work with not even any interview. I am enjoying it so far it is kind of confusing because I have never worked in a office before but I am enjoying the experience so far. Well I better get back to work now my lunch hpur is almost over. TTFN

And I am....

What's My Signature Color?

Amanda, your signature color is Golden Sunrise

No doubt about it. A vivacious, positive force like you needs to be represented by a color that warms up any room. That's why Golden Sunrise is the perfect color for you! There's nothing bland about you — in fact many would say you're a lively presence at any gathering! And speaking of gatherings, few are complete unless you can at least make a cameo appearance, spreading smiles, laughter, and sunshine in your wake. People can't help but light up when you walk in a room, which is the secret to how you get so much done in a day. Your sunny disposition makes you a pleasure to do business with, and that's why you're so good at making the world go around — at least your little corner of it. Nice work, Sunrise! So keep spreading those rays wherever you go!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Nik And Rachelle who got married last Saturday. May the Lord Bless You and your life together.

PICS

Here are some Pictures of our new puppy. He has grown alot since we got him but these are the only pictures we have right now.

Hi Again

Right now I am at Alison and Steve's house and they both have gone to work so I thought this would be the perfect time to finally right something on my blog. Since our internet at my house is not working I have not had a chance to update my blog in the last couple of weeks but I am happy to say that in the next week or so we are finally getting high speed internet which means that I will be able to go on the internet a lot more. I am currently looking for a new job. I was originally going to go on vacation next week but now my family has decided against it. Marie and I and the rest of the people in our church are going on a missions trip in November it is really exciting. We are going to Gulfport Mississippi to build houses for Katrina victims but since Marie and I do not know how to build a house I get to paint :) it is going to be so much fun.

Well....

A lot has happened in the last two weeks and well I have been so busy that I have not had any time to post. I am working long hours 10 hours a day 6 days a week and when I get home I do not have that much time. Yesterday I came home from work to fing that Michelle decided we needed a dog and bought a puppy for us all to enjoy. (she gets to take care of them and we just spoil him). It is another Min Pin like Digger but it is so tiny aka it is a little bigger then my hand and it is like 9 weeks old and Digger hates it of course but I think he will grow to like it. I will post some pictures when we place them on our computer. My friend from school called me on tuesday and invited me to her wedding that is next Friday afternoon. I am not sure if I can go yet but I am hoping that I can come. In two weeks from tomorrow I am jobless they asked me if I would like a job for the month of August but I cannot decide. If I do take it the job would not be in Edmonton but up North and I am not sure If I want to go up there and live in a hotel room for a month. I also have decided to drop out of school. Well at least until the winter semester because I am not sure if I want to take accouting because I hate working in the office every day and I want something where I am always moving and doing different tasks so I am currently deciding what I want to do.

Happy Canada Day

I am just on my way to the fireworks at the legislature and I just want to wish everyone a Happy Canada Day!!!!!!!!!

You follow your heart when it comes to success


You're an impassioned individual who just can't suppress your ideals. You've got a strong sense of right and wrong, and want to let people know when they've crossed the line. Sure, there are times when you sit back to hear both sides of an argument. But people had better stay out of the way when your fiery passions take hold.

But just because you can be a bit of a rebel with a cause, it doesn't mean you're incapable of being understanding and compassionate. It's because you're so invested in your ideas and interests that you can work so tirelessly toward your goals and speak up for what you believe in. So keep pouring your heart into it. With conviction like yours, you're sure to succeed!
Do You Follow Your Heart or Your Head?

Well....

Today was a very exciting day for me and not because anything good has happened to me either. It all started early this morning when I went to work. It was so boring and they made me answer all the incoming calls that came in even though no one is calling us anymore. At lunch I had to meet a lady from the courthouse that served me with new and improved papers on my notice to be sued now the guy is only suing me and not my dad and she was only 25 min late which took up my entire lunch hour. Then I went back to work for a couple of hours and when I got into my car after work I found that it had been broken into and my stereo was stolen and my door was broken and they took apart the dash in my car. So off to the police station I went and I had to writhe out a long report about my car, what year, damage, and what they stole out and I had to wait in a long line up. When I finally got to the front he told me that I was lucky that they did not steal my car and that I should get a club and that well there was very little chance of me ever getting my stereo back. So now I am broke and no longer have a stereo it is really quite sad. The whole way home from work I was wishing that I could listen to the radio of see if the hockey game is started yet or looking for the time. At least there is one good thing that happened to me today I no longer have to learn how to change the time on my stereo but that is the only good thing that happened today but I better get going I moved all of my belongings back to my parents house only to find I was staying here for another week and so I need to pack all of my stuff. By the way Unitta the person I am house sitting for is doing a lot better she is still in the hospital but is no longer on a ventilator but she still has a long recovery ahead of her but she is now expected to make a recovery.

Finally...

It is finally over I have quit Tim Hortons and had my very last day there today. It was a funny story anyways it all started 2 weeks ago when I gave my notice. My boss decided that it was not a good idea for me to quit with no job in site and I agreed with her so I was on a leave of absence from my job until I could find a new one but today when I looked at next weeks schedule and she booked me for next week even though I told her that I could not work. Well needless to say she got mad at me and told me that I had to work and I told her I started the leave of absence starting today and she told me that then I would not have a job so now I no longer work there I told them to no longer except me at this job. So the day has finally and I am happy and relieved to no longer work there.

Prayer Request

Last week my Grandma went to the doctor because she was coughing up blood and they found a black spot on her lung. They are thinking that the spot is cancer but the doctor thinks that they caught it in time. She is going in for a biopsy next week and hopefully the tumor is not cancerous. But it is very likely that it is cancerous because she has been smoking for over 40 years. But she is not a Christian and wants nothing do with us because we are Christians and this makes it even harder for us at this time.

You're Calm, Cool, and Collected

Do your friends like to lean on your shoulder? Ask you for advice in life and love? Put you on speed-dial for emergencies? We bet they do. You're as balanced as they come. When it comes to making decisions, you're not afraid to take the time to weigh your options carefully in order to make the right choice. And it takes more than a few obstacles to rattle your cool head.

The good news is that you've also got lots of heart, and you make sure that people know that you always have their backs. There's almost nothing more important to you than the people in your life, so being a support to them is the coolest thing around. Just like you.

Congratulations

To Shannon and Ryan Simpson on thier wedding day. May you have a long and happy marriage together.

What Kind of Dog am I?

You're a German Shepherd!


No bones, about it, you're a loyal, hard-working German Shepherd. Dedicated and always low-maintenance, people flock to you — they know they can count on you to get any job done, and done well. That focus and attention to detail spans from your personal to your professional life, too. Although you can be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the projects you tackle, you still manage to keep cool and laid-back in social situations. You get a kick out of the little things and thrive when you're constantly busy and on-the-go. Easygoing and unpretentious, you don't need constant pampering and reassurance. A genuine, carefree pup, you're a true-blue friend, employee, and partner. Woof!

A Little About Fiona

Well I have never done this before so here it goes. Well you love to dress up in a grass skirt in the mall :). The movie that reminds me of you is currently "Just My Luck" because you promised to go there with me as soon as it came out and we still have not seen it. My favorite memory is planning the scavenger hunt and picking out your outfit (you did not even wear it all). We don't really have anything that makes to only me and you because Alison also will know what we mean. My first memory of you is you sitting in the fellowship hall of my church knitting after YP's and Alison interducing me to her little sis. You remind me of a hawk I know, I know it is not a animal it is a bird but you are always watching out for us and our plans.
A quote that reminds me of you is "Friends are closer then Sisters" well sometimes that is they will never tell on you to your mom when they are mad. I was wondering if you are growing your hair for kids for cancer again?? Well I just think that you are an excellent friend and I cannot wait to see where are friendship go in the future. Well I hope that is what you are supposed to do

Congratulations

Congratulations to Alison and Steve who got married yesterday.

So may the Lord Bless your marriage and may you have many many happy years together.

And I Thought I would Have Time to Relax

Well I have been very busy for the past couple of weeks. So busy that I have not been able to post any thing that I would actually have to write for a while. So anyways I thought that once school was done I would have a lot of time for every thing else in my life but apparently I was wrong. I was home only one evening this week ever other day it was wake up at 5, go to the gym, go to work, wait for a hour to catch the bus, go to some ones house, go home and go to bed at around 12 and start the day all over again. I cannot wait for next week because I have nothing to do other then work but on the down side I have to work evenings. So I will not have that much time to hang out with all of my many friends. Well that is why I have not posted in a couple of weeks so I will try do this again one day when I have more time.

About Me

Hi

I've written a quiz 'How well do you know Amanda?'. Click on the link to veiw my quiz.



Amanda

Calvin or Hobbes

Mostly Calvin You are 80% Calvin and 20% Hobbes

Your inner Calvin often prevails, but, as in the image below, you have a significant Hobbesian component. I'm going to try to stretch the visual metaphor here: you have a good head on your shoulders, but when you don't use it, your crazy body gets you in trouble? Does that work? Odds are you're impulsive and imaginative, but it's possible you've collected just enough wisdom to hold your most anti-social urges in check. Most of the time. It's a precarious balance, like a boy on one foot with a tiger head.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 97% on calvin You scored higher than 0% on hobbes

Busy...

As many of you all know I have been staying at my neighbor’s house for around 3 weeks while she is in the hospital. Well it looks like she will be in the hospital for a while longer. Currently she has been in the hospital since the beginning of December and it appears that if she does get better she will not live at the house so we are packing up all of her stuff and placing it in storage and making way for the houses new tenant which is her son so in around a month or a month and a half I will be moving back home with my parents. So I am very busy helping them clean and organize the house so that they can move in as soon as possible

Also I have some interviews tomorrow for a new job. Yes it is finally time for me to forever leave the food service interview and I will be applying for a lot of jobs as secretaries so I can use some of the skills that I have learned this year at school. So I have some out of school experience. This job that I am being interviewed for is only part time but I can continue doing this job after school in the fall. So my plan is to have 2 jobs this summer Census Canada and this job at The Investors Group so I will be very busy this summer with work and all of the extra activities that I have planned.

The Three Question Personality Test

Slaughter

On Saturday I went to a fun hockey game between Edmonton and Neerlandia and we slaughtered them with a score of 16 to 8. It was a lot of fun!!! Although I was late again, because I thought that the start time was at 7:30 so I got there at 7:45 (which is on time for me) but it started at 7. This was also a problem for me on Friday when I went to my Cousin Sherri’s bridal shower and I was very late (45 min to be exact). We actually had a lot of fun (it was a long time since I saw most of my cousins that are my age).

Random thoughts that don’t really go with what I am saying right now:
1) The Scavenger hunt is only 19 days away and we are not ready for it yet
2) I only have 8 more days of school
3) I have to bug Adrianna about us planning a Young Adults Retreat
4) I want to go camping this summer
5) My car is really dirty (completely covered in mud because of the snow yesterday)
6) Right now I would rather be shopping

I just thought...

I just thought that you would all like to know that my dail up internet is even slower then it usually is today.

Long time coming

I only have 2 weeks till the end of the school year (this includes exams) I am so excited for it all to be over with.
