june has turned out to be quite the month for new things. this evening rhonda and i went on a 1000 islands dinner cruise. this is her last night of freedom before her mom heads back to newfoundland, and we wanted to make the most of it. we got all dressed up and thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. it was really neat. the food was really good and the entertainment was very entertaining. i like being creative and doing new things – although, that should be obvious by now. i learned that there are actually 2,800 islands in the "1000 islands" and that to be qualified as an island a landmass has to be at least 6 sq. ft with 2 trees on it. interesting.
oh my goodness. i'm so excited that it's a long weekend. i think one of the best parts of having a day off, is knowing the night before that you don't have to go to work the next day.
it's a trade off. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. there's really no comparison. society is making me feel guilty about my six. it's as though i shouldn't be entitled. ok, maybe society is not to blame, it's probably just my psychosis. i guess sometimes i want to feel as though it's ok, that i'm fine and acceptable just as i am. i don't always want to fight this uphill battle, and feel as though i have to convince people that i'm up to par. i wonder if everyone actually thinks i'm a second-rate citizen or if i just feel like they do.
let me pick the best fruit from your tree.

This weekend confuses me! With the holiday falling on a Tuesday, I thought Monday was a real day, but the last couple of days I have been receiving emails from different dept.s saying that they will be closed on Mon. (and it does make sense- why work one day and have the next off?-can't get in a groove that way) But James' camp runs Mon, Wed,Thurs, Fri, so those are the days I'll work even if our office is closed on Mon.
so... like do you guys all have to work on the 1st then? that seems sort of wrong...
that sucks aphra.
at my work we get monday off and work tuesday. it doesn't matter to me if i have to work in canada day, it's not like it's christmas. the only way it would've affected me if i was planning on going to ottawa for the 1st. b/c canada celebrations in kingston are LAME.
i am SO excited u got to go on the boat tour. i really liked the entertainment when we went. what did u have to eat? im proud of u les, i LOVE that your accomplishing so many new and wonderful things!
you rock my friend.
- s ha n (look <-- there's laughter in the middle of my name)
You work on Tues.? Even the 24 hour a&P is closed Tues (I think that's what the flyer said)
I hadn't thought of that switch of having mon off for tues. Queen's and RMC seem to be taking a 4 day holiday for the most part, though I can't see anyone who works the Mon. getting much accomplished...
we didn't get a choice. our holidays are made to coincide with whatever they do in quebec. a couple years ago we got the friday off while everyone else got the monday.
thanks for being so excited for me sHAn. i like affirmation. it's very affirming :)
