Tis the Season

This was certaintly not an easy Christmas. I do miss my Beavers. It has been a year. I will keep them in my memory. I miss my Grandfather as well. But I do thank all of family and friends who have been supporting me this holiday season.

Haven't been working much lately. It's weird to have free time to actually run again. I signed up for a half marathon clinic starting on the 1st. I'm kicking off 2013 with a bang. I hurt my knee at work but so far running has been ok

Watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame with the boy. I simply love the music. I then proceeded to watch Hercules. Who puts the glad in gladiator? 

I'm rather worried about the new year and how things will play out. 

I ran 5km on the weekend. It was hard but I need the endorphins . especially now. 

Went to my first Bachelorette party. Magic Mike wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be. But fun times were had. 

I worry too much. What else is new?

Still don't have New Years Plans. I would honestly rather just sleep. It would be better then last years events that for sure. 

I need more sleep but I can't seem to get it despite the fact I haven't worked much this week. 

My record player is set up. Here's to starting a vinyl collection.

So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again

Alexisonfire Farewell Tour. It's a shame that Dallas Green's fame has caused this band to "retire" as it were. Regardless I got a tshirt rocked out and I seemed to be one of the only people wearing ear plugs that evening. 

Somehow managed to get Bbq on my backpack and hair. Not sure how. Tristan thought it was blood on his arm initially. 

I believe the tram life has ruined my left ear. It still pops randomly. 

It's been a year since 2 of my Beavers and there mother were killed in a car accident. It's hard to believe a year went by that quickly. It's odd to miss them but I do. 

I'm feeling rather blue this holiday season because of that. Alongside the passing of my Grandfather. 

4 days till Christmas? It certainly doesn't feel like it. 

I think things are really going to keep changing come the new year. This year has marked a lot of that. Some changes more obvious then others. 

I miss my girls and i don't know if I'll be seeing them much this holiday break. I'm actually excited for the Spring Semester. And have already decided on 2 courses for the Summer. I hope to take 3 if I can find a 3rd class. 

The snowpocalypse has ended for now. The Portmann was destroying cars. I believe this known as a design flaw.

Blame it on my A.D.D Baby

Awolnation. That was one of those moments from the summer that still reels in my mind. The base dropping. The crowd cheering. The hot sticky heat. 

I've been missing summer a lot lately. This isn't normal for me. Summer has never been my favourite time of year. But with the stress of finals I've been missing it. 

Finals finished today. Paid Spring tuition. Got a new phone that almost works. Silly network. 

Getting rather frustrated with the state of affairs. I had different image of where I would be right now. 

I adore you very much. Do you know that? And we can do this. We can do anything really. 

I've been missing a lot of things. I miss Ivo a lot. Christmas is going to be hard I feel. But I do love my family and all the support I can draw from them. Van Dusen Gardens put on a lovely honour a life ceremony. We all wrote down messages on these paper hearts which are actually seeds. I like that. I really do. 

The Christmas Market was lovely. The boy and I enjoyed wine and pretzels. I saw the Killers with Leslie. I enjoyed the nostalgia. I hadn't see the band since I was 14. That was my first concert by myself. My how things have evolved since then. 

Looking forward to starting over in 2013. Somewhat at least. One Beaver meeting left before 2012 is out.

12/12/12 today. Repetitive dates are neat. New job goes well. No walking dead till February. 

Alexisonfire next week. I cannot wait. 

The world is ending...is that still happening?

Life happened

I quit a job then got a new one a week later. Much easier then compared to the summer when I couldn't even get a Mcjob. 

I am now on the Youth Spokes person team for Scouts Canada. Keep an eye out for me in the media in the new year. 

I went to Hipster Moot. Spray paint art was made. It was lovely. Just like you of course. 
Things are getting rough in Scouting. I will do my best to rise above. 

RoVent. Did I mention I'm helping at it? I want to be helpful I've suggested a theme and we are going with it. Here's to new experiences in 2013

I've hurt my knee. I don't know what I did. But it hurts when I walk. I'm going to the Doctor for this and multiple reasons. I guess that means calling them. I hate doing that. 

I went to Ottawa for YSP training. I met Craig Kielburger. he's handsome and very nice. Learned lots about branding, advertising, international scouting. I watched the AGM. I shall miss you Steve Kent. You did a lot of great things but I'm sure our paths will cross again. I got to meet some people face to face. I met my moot Contingent leader. I learned more about CJ. 
Next summer is going to be quite amazing that's for sure. 

Sunday was training training and more training. The flight home was rough but boyfriend graciously assisted in picking me up and dropping me off at the airport over the weekend. 

Classes have wrapped up. I saw Dan Mangan last month with Tristan. Probably the best performance I've seen so far. I missed the PPP this year but it was probably for the better. 

Finals finish on the 12th then it's retail hell for awhile. I survived Black Friday so that's a start. I enjoy money and the environment I'm in so it'll all be worth it. 

Looking at half marathon training, DOE, and lots of other plans for 2013.  

Time to go read some more. And eat some ginger snaps
