true colours.

if you think cyndi lauper... you are completely correct. haha. i'm at work... once again. today we are having a bonfire/work party at my mom's to get some yardwork. i THINK we are going to have a pretty good turn out - although i have thought this before and then had 2 people come and everyone else bail at the last minute. i have had some last minute bailing happen this morning too... but... i still think we will get some good helpers out for a while. and probably more people coming in the evening just for the bonfire. whatever. it will be fun. jen and i planned to go for a run in kal park yesterday afternoon... planned is the key word. we went. but i had some killer cramps and it was killing me to try and run... so we mostly just hiked and did some lunges, and a little bit of running. i still worked up a sweat. and we went for a solid 45 minutes or so. i wouldn't say it was a completely lost cause. and above all, we enjoyed the afternoon (even with a little bit of sunshine) and had some good talks. i like hanging out with jen. we have gotten to be pretty good friends lately. its nice to have someone with similar career goals to hang out with. she gets what i am trying to do with my job. and we support each other and help each other out. its a nice relationship to have. jb, if you read this, i appreciate you and the things you contribute to my days. thanks. the days are quickly counting down. it is scaring me just a little.... or... a lot. i don't know if my mom has yet heard back from a lot of you about where you are wanting to stay when you come down here for the wedding. she had talked about booking group camping... and laura... i have yet to receive your rsvp. COME ON! haha. I NEED IT!... if you lost it, send me a piece of paper with what menu choice you would like. thanks! i haven't been working on the dresses as much as i should be. i will need to get my butt in gear over the next week or so. i feel confident that it won't take me very long once i hunker down... at least judging on how it has gone so far. my latest mission is finding andrew some nice slim legged dress pants with like... at least a 36" inseam. do these even exist? anyone have any suggestions where i might be able to find them? i will have to make another quick overnighter trip to vancouver sometime in the next week or so to measure jasmine and megan... so... going to vancouver is a possibility. things have gotten busy in basically every aspect of my life. tyler and i have been making an effort to actually do things instead of just hanging out at home doing NOTHING all the time. I have starting doing some windows for my parents. AND i have been doing some extra shifts in kelowna for operating and things. i am really liking working in kelowna. i am getting to know more people in those offices and i feel a little less awkward when i am there during regular hours. i don't mind my saturday shift there because... well... i am almost the only person there. i like that. haha. i don't have to talk to anyone or see anyone. i recently was asked if i would host a new friday night show there. it will be recorded, and i can do it from vernon so i don't have to drive down to kelowna another day every week. i'm pretty excited about it. its a great opportunity. plus, it means that i have been doing something right with the work that i have been already doing there. the music and the programming for the show isn't exactly something that i enjoy, and i think this show will be a bit of a challenge for me to do the way that they are wanting it... but... i am up for the challenge. the thought process behind it is that i am a young person, and what are young people gearing up for on a friday night... well... i am not your typical 25 year old, in my opinion. i am not into going to the bar or "partying". and listening to a remixed mix of music is not my idea of a good friday night soundtrack. that is actually the exact reason i really dislike going to the bar at all. but like i said... i will find a way to put my own spin on things and i am up for this challenge. its a part of the job. and being able to relate to an audience that i mostly consider to be very much unlike myself is what being good at this job means. and... here is a song i will leave you with.
