Mmm, sugar

I've had a nasty craving for junk food lately. Wine gums, doughnuts and chocolate have been a serious weekness. It sucks!! I really have to stop giving in cause now I have a reason to try to tone up (or at least try to ditch a little bit of this bulge). Ah well, not likely to go anywhere anyways.

Sunday was nice. After church YWAM (look it up) held a fundraiser lunch by donation. It was really good. I was talking a bit to Brenda, the pastor's wife, and she invited me with her and her husband and everyone else that she spoke to down to the Clearwater river to go floating. It was great fun for a sunny, hot afternoon. We would wade slowly against the current up the river a ways and then just lean back and let the current carry us up again. I got a bit of a sunburn and way too many mosquito bites yet again but it was worth it to get out and enjoy ourselves. It was good excercise too in fighting that current, my calves are still a little sore.

Found out today that the ride I usually get to Edmonton is moving into the same apartment building as I'm in. It's pretty cool actually, he's across the hall and one door over so when we leave Friday we don't have to worry about how we're meeting up as we'll be leaving from the same place. Good deal! He's moving up here because the apartment here was empty anyways and Alcor (the housing people) were going to move him up here in September anyways for the second half of his work term. The good news is that I can probably hitch rides with him in the fall to go visit Dez too. Yay! I wonder if I'll be getting a new roommate in September or if I'll be living alone... it would be pretty quiet around here but I guess it's not like Michelle is ever home as it is. Irfan's apartment is a one bedroom so he know's he'll be on his own but this two bedroom will be pretty big for one... not that I'm complaining or anything, I like where I live and have no desire to move as I don't think I could get my desk out of here without either Dan or Dad to help me with it.

Ok, I suppose that's enough rambling for now. I get to go to Edmonton this weekend and HOME!! the weekend after. I also have to remember while I'm home (or at least while I'm in Ottawa) to buy a birthday present for Austin as that will be coming up in a month. I think it's about time he starts playing with crayons. I kind of miss him but will at least get to see him when I come home in October if not when I come home in a week and a half.

Alright, now it's really time to go. I got two letters last week and have been meaning to write back. I was going to do it Sunday but the floating took up the whole afternoon and then I still had to clean the bathroom and do my laundry. Ok, Dan's on the phone now, I really have to go... really... ok. Bye!
