| apparently xanga is no longer nearly as busy as it once was.
| | |
| yes, its been a while. hello Xanga world!
Guess what? I am engaged! yup. check her out on facebook...she's a keeper! | | |
| So, last week was my birthday, and today I got a great package in the mail. Alanna sent me "A River Runs Through It" both a book with beautiful woodcut illustrations, and a deluxe edition DVD, which I have wanted for many years, but never bought. also, a book called men and fire, about smokejumpers in montana and a specific fire, the Mann Gulch Fire. as well, a heinously bright paisley shirt, its very cool, and very bright. and a t-shirt that says, " I know superwoman, she's my cousin" and its true. I do. she is.
Also, we all are celebrating the resurrecting, eating lots of meat (Farmer Sausage, thank you brother Gabraham-the real saskatchewan deal) and sampling fine ales and malt beverages. the sun is shining too.
I have applied for a job in Victoria, a government position entitled "applied leadership" who knew all the opportunities at TWU might pay off in the end? It is a liason position between a ministry and aboriginal groups around the province, helping them to take over the implementation of children and family services. So that would amazing. Except I would have to leave Langley and my sweet sweet community at St. Herman's.
OH! and my rad sister got her and I tickets for Arcade Fire at Deer Lake Park! SO excited!

| its holy week, I am sick, great lake swimmes are tonight, tomorrow is a 'day'
this weekend is pascha, and I am applying for jobs in victoria. government style. one more class to go, facebook is addictive, open house is not happening this week, but next it is, the canucks are going to win the cup, its rainy, better than the snow on monday, I am buying a new bike, the JW's came by today, so I told them I was sick and it wasn't a good day. which was true. but I can't talk to them anymore.
oh, and check our juana molina, such great music. juanamolina.com has free downloads.

| Yes, it hurt. my car creaks and moans now, it needs some TLC, but there is a plan a brewin' so we'll see. tomorrow is foodsafe day, open house is later on, after the Derek Webb show (yes, he's playing at TWU in langley tomorrow, $5! so cheap)
I also now have a ticket for the Great Lake Swimmers show, which I am stoked for. I like the decemberists too, to answer an earlier question.
Pascha is coming. I am tired. I worked a lot this week. I wonder if workaholism is as sinful as any other addiction. if it keeps us from God and other people and silence, I don't wonder so much, but its really easy to justify, perhaps more than anything else, because good motives are easy to talk about .
I haven't been to weeknight church in forever. Gabe's coming to visit, and things at home are looking just fine.
and, I hung out with my awesome sister, it was so great. I really like it when her and I get to spend time together.
