Hello gal pals,
Just stopping in to say hi and to see how you are all doing!!
SB, I can understand how you feel about where you live!! Here in Calgary were nearly up to a million people and about 3 million in the whole province!! Calgary keeps on growing! It's getting to be a bit much for me as well and I look forward to moving to Saskatchewan. In Prince Albert there's only about 41,000 people which is a huge change but it's a lot quieter and I've been wanting that for quite some time now!! Good luck in your search for a new place out in the country!!
As for the girls rule...with mechanics we can definitely get our hands in more tight spots then them!! 
Monarch, glad to hear that your hubby made it safely back to Baghdad!! Just think the next couple of months will fly by and then you'll have him back for the holidays!! Is he done his term in October or does he have to go back after the holidays??
CR, hope is all well with your back and physio!!!
I've been kind of busy since I last posted on here. I have finally talked to my boss about when I was planning on moving. My last day here at work will be around January 14th. She was happy that I gave lots of notice so they have time to hire and train someone new and I'm not leaving them stranded either. She was happy to here that I'm going back to school and has even told me that if I ever come back that I will have a job to come back to!! It was nice to hear that but I'm still not sure if I'm going to come back after I'm done school. Some of friends have told me that they think I will probally be coming back but I'm not too sure right now since I'll be out there for at least 2 yrs with school alone!! We'll just have to see I guess!!!
Things with Andrew and I are going good. We talk when ever we can but he's really busy doing harvest right now on the farm that he works on. He's planning on coming out here in November sometime after harvest to see me...I can't wait!!
Today I went to the Calgary Highland Games. It was great, I had such a good time!! My first time ever going to a highland games!! The only thing I was disappointed with was that they didn't have hagis there!!  I was looking forward to trying it!!! At the closing ceremonies they had a mass band that played together, I was blown away by the music that I nearly started to cry it was so powerful!! I can't wait for next year!!
So other than that I'm working all this next week up until Friday morning than my cousin and I leave Saturday morning for PEI!! We're both pretty excited and can't wait to go!!! Well i should get back to work I will catch up with you all later!
Take care  |

CR, that's great to hear about your re-enactments. Sounds like you have been really busy!!! I hope you get approval for the physio therapy. Sounds like you need it and it's really helping your back!!
I have a more definite date for as to when I'm going to be moving. I'm leaving after Michael here at work gets back from Thailand. He's soming back on January 10th so I'll be leaving after that. I'm moving to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan which is about a 7-8 hr drive from here. I'm looking forward to it, plus I grew up in Saskatchewan most of my life so it's not that new to me!! I also can't wait to start school, I really enjoy mechanics and I'm happy that I will finally have a job I truly have a passion for.
Annabelle, you and your family will be in our thoughts till your son gets home safely.
Monarch, thanks for wishing me luck. It's nice to finally be able to go for one of my dreams and actually make it happen!!
It's so exciting to hear that your hubby will be able to stay longer with you and the family the next time he comes back!!!
Well take care everyone!! |

Hello my gal pals!!! How I've missed you all!!
Monarch, I'm so happy to hear that your hubby is home safe and I hope your enjoying your time together!!!!
My trip was great and was definitely not long enough!!! The night working in the bar was good, I wasn't really that busy but the waitresses were!! They had a ball tournament that weekend I was there so the bar was steady!!
Things with Andrew went great!!! We hit it off right away and have so much in common but he's really shy. But that's ok since I seem to balance him out!!  He's really tall too!!! The first time we hugged I had to step up on my tippie toes and he still had to bend down to give me a hug!! We're still talking nearly every day and can't wait to see each other again. He even sent me a poem he wrote for me after I got back, it was so sweet. He even told me he has another one he's in the process of writing right now!! How could I be so lucky to find him!?!
I enjoyed it so much out there that I have decided to move there!!! Not only for the fact of Andrew and my friends and family but I looked into going back to school and taking mechanics!! I'm bet your all not that surprised I want to get into mechanics but they have a really great program out there. I would either have to go to Saskatoon or Moose Jaw for the course since they don't have it in Prince Albert but I would prefer to go to Saskatoon since it's only about a 45 min drive away. The first part of the course is to get my certificate to work in a shop that lasts for 36 weeks and costs about $3300 plus books and supplies on top of that. Then the next course is the diploma course which is more to do with the financial aspects and how to run your own shop. It would also give me my journeyperson's status as well and is also a 36 week course and costs the same. I also looked into doing that type of course out here but they only have a 10 week course that is a introduction to mechanics which costs $3800. So I pretty much decided that if I'm going to go for it I'm going to have to do it out there!! My parents and friends are very supportive of me moving out there and are very happy that I'm actually going for my dreams!! I'm planning on moving out there after Christmas. One of the guys that I work with that does graves as well is going to Thailand for 3 months starting in October. So I'm going to wait till he comes back before I leave so I don't leave the rest of the girls here stranded. He gets back on January 10th so I'll be leaving after that.
When I got back Jack and I worked on the car and we finally got it running!! We changed the rad but found that it was still overheating so we had to change the head gaskets and ended up getting the heads planed down as well since they were warped. It took us about 3 days to put the motor all back together and now we found out that the bottom end of the motor is going!!!  So Jack told me that it's not worth the money or time to do that as well and advised me to look for another vehicle. He told me to drive the car though until I can find something else and to even look for one in Saskatchewan since I'll be moving there. Then I don't need to get a vehicle inspection done on it and it'll save me a lot of money as well!!! So I have my step-dad and some friends out there keeping an eye out for my dream truck for me or even just a truck period!! 
So other than that I've been busy working since I got back and I'm getting ready for my trip to PEI in less than 2 weeks!! I can't wait for that trip either!! As soon as I get the pictures from Michelle I will post them for you guys to see. I think she has a couple of me and Andrew.
Well I gotta get back to work again...talk to you all soon!!! |

Hi gals,
BluegrassLady, enjoy your visit with your sister! How long is she planning on visiting for???
I can't believe that school is already starting next week down there!!  School up here doesn't start until the beginning of September!!
CR, how's your back and physio doing??? With these re-enactments what exactly are you doing?? It sounds interesting!!
Well with me, it's been pretty hectic the past little while with working on the car, working lots and getting ready for my trip this week to Saskatchewan. Last week Jack and I changed the rad in the car, the sending unit (in my car it reads how hot or cold the temperature of the car is), and the leaks that were happening. I went to take the car home but it over heated again so i babied it back to Jack's and it's going to sit there until I get back from my trip and then were going to both find time to do it together. So Jack and I figured out that we have to change the head gaskets in the car, which has been leaking causing the car to overheat. It's a long job though!!
So I'm back to driving mom's car  but at least I get to take it out to Saskatchewan this Wednesday!!! I can't wait to leave!! My girlfriend Michelle says that this Saturday I get to work in the bar she bartends and manages in. They are getting in a DJ that night and I get to be the "beer tub girl". I've never worked in a bar so this should be interesting!!! She also has a friend that she wants me to meet as well when I get out there!!! His name is Andrew. He's 6'6 which will be funny to see since I'm only about 5'2!!! We've been talking on the phone, sending e-mails and talking on MSN messenger for the 3 weeks. We have a lot of things in common and he evens writes poetry!!! I was shocked when he told me that!! He's 27, which is a year younger than me!! All the guys I've dated have been at least 4 yrs older than me but it's always good to do something different!!! So it'll be interesting to meet him!! I'm leaving this Wednesday morning after work and will be staying for a week. I will have lots of pictures to post when I get back, no doubts about that!! Well anyways I should get back to work!!
Take care everyone and have a great week!! |

Monarch, sorry to hear about your dad passing away!! I can't believe either that they didn't have the decency to call you or any of your other family, then it being a complete stranger!! Then on top of that you have to fight for your inheritance! Fight for it you deserve to have it and your father would probally want you to have them too! Be strong girl, we're all here for you!!
I'm so happy to hear that your hubby's coming soon to help you get through this rough time!! Just remember your not alone!!
Take care of you!!!

I love the old muscle cars too but my heart will always be with a '72 Chevy!! The thing that sucks is that I actually had one before I got the car, but we ended up trading it for the car I have now!!!  We were just having to many problems with it. It was a 3 speed on the floor but the linkage for it was so crappy and it keep on getting stuck in gear!! Plus it was also at a time where Terry and I had broken up and he was keeping the other truck we had and he wanted to have the car since it was more reliable!!
So now I'm on the hunt for my dream truck. When I get it I want to soop it up with a 454 under the hood or even bigger!! Then get a good paint job on it and puts fatties on it!! What I mean by fatties are 50 and 60 series tires on the front and back to jack the ass end up. We had them on the old truck and boy did it look sweet!!! I remember taking my girlfriend for a ride in my old truck and I literally scared her in it so I doubt that she'll drive with me in the next one I get!! |

SB, you gotta hate when vehicles done run the way you want them too! I'm a truck girl myself. In the past 5 yrs all I've ever own is a truck but I had to settle for the car when I got it. As soon as I have a chance though I'm buying another truck!! My dream is a '72 Chevy half ton.  |

Thanks CR and SB, don't feel bad about missing my birthday!! A lot of family members of mine forgot to even call me!! ie my brother and step-dad. I got pretty much what I wanted. My mom paid for me to get my nails done, my one girlfriend bought me Miss Congeniality 2 since I'm just starting to build up my DVD collection again. My dad bought me the back struts for my car since I need them before I go out of town in a week in a half. I also received some calls and was wished a happy birthday!!
So how is everyone doing otherwise?? Car is still acting up...grrr...but taking it to Jack (my other mechanic) tomorrow to do a pressure test on the cooling system and then were going to flush it out!! I also have to change the thermostat again but hopefully with both of these it will make it quit leaking anti-freeze!!!
Well gotta go for now! Take care all!! :hug: |

CR, I'm glad to hear you had a awesome time but sorry that you guys couldn't have lunch with her!! Good pic of her, she looks a bit different from the back cover of Outlander but it looks like the new book might be a green hard cover?!
I haven't started DIA yet! Life and work has had me pretty busy lately but I'm hoping to get it soon and stick my nose back into a book!!! |
