Whale of a time!
Went to Bay Bulls yesterday to go on a whale and puffin tour. What a beautiful day we had for it. The boat was lovely and the water was gorgeous. If I would have had a blanket and a pillow I swear the rocking would have put me right to sleep!
There were no ice bergs, so I was a bit disappointed about that. We did see a whale!! It was an 80 foot fin back whale. The second largest mammal in the world. When it comes to the surface to spout, it blows the water 20 feet into the air. It was amazing to see it when it arched out of the water to dive back down again.
We saw so many puffins. They are so much smaller than I ever thought. And fast! Their wings flap so fast that it's impossible to catch them in a picture! I think they are the cutest birds I've ever seen. Absolutely adorable.
I took loads of pictures but I think something may have happened to my film. It seems like the film started over. So, I'm hoping I didn't end up taking pictures over pictures. How disappointing would that be. Got myself a nice sunburn on my face too! It doesn't hurt though, thank goodness.
Went to the Shortall's to babysit my boys after I got home. Rory is getting so big! And he's so cute. I could seriously squeeze him. He's such a smart little boy. I love them to death.
So, after my long, full day yesterday, I had a nice sleep in this morning and when I get ready I'm going up to mom's for turkey supper. Nothing beats mom's home cooking!
Talk soon. Ta ta for now.

Janice phoned last night. I hadn't been talking to her in ages and ages, and let me tell you, we certainly made up for lost time! We didn't get off the phone until 4 in the morning and it was best/funniest conversation I've had since I can remember.
All day today I've been thinking about St. John's and particulary Blackmarsh Rd. I had so much fun living there, and I adored all my roomies. It's funny how things change. People move on and people are left behind. Friends lose touch and lovers become virtual strangers. It's sad.....it makes me sad.
I'm going to end here. Talk soon. Ta ta for now.

Here I am eating ice cream....there's something so lovely about just sitting and eating vanilla soft serve. Makes me feel like a kid again for some reason. And it doesn't hurt that I put sprinkles on it! :)
Haven't really been doing anything these past few days. Went grocery shopping and played with the kitten. I've been trying to find a puppy but it's so hard. And who knew that the S.P.C.A had so many friggen rules. I just want a puppy that's mine once I get it home. Not one that I have to take care of according to their rules.
We had thunder today! Yay! I've been waiting all summer for some. The rain sounded so pretty. I felt totally relaxed just sitting and listening to it. I'm wearing a sweater tonight and I'm so comfy. Can't wait for fall to get here.
I phoned today and booked a boat tour in Bay Bulls. I'm so excited. In season you can see ice bergs and can even taste pure ice berg water! And sometimes you can even see dolphins jumping. Just our luck none of that will happen, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm going to take a bunch of pictures. Should be a good time.
So, I'll go on again. Talk soon. Ta ta for now.
*With you everything's beautiful and I'm not scared to be falling into unknown, with you I find the strength to carry on*

Light up the sky
Went to Brigus last night to watch the fireworks. It was the end of the Blueberry festival. The fireworks were not that great. The finale was nice but the rest were pretty crappy! Oh well...I just like to see how bright the sky gets. It lit up the mountain.....gorgeous.
It's been so hot outside I don't know what to do with myself. I hear it's supposed to rain tomorrow and I'm hoping for thunder and lightening like you don't even know! I would give anything to sit in the comfy chair in front of the window and watch the sky light up.
The process to get a licence to take Paul for weekends seems to be dragging on forever. At the rate it's going it doesn't look like we'll get to take him any time before the summer is over. I feel bad about it too...mom hasn't had a real break from him in years, and she deserves one. That poor woman is a saint.
I saw a little of the olympics today. Canada didn't win anything of course. Just my luck I won't be watching when they do win! I love to watch the synchronized swimming. I really admire athletes. They work so hard. They've got to be super proud of themselves. Saw an interview with the mother of one of the young men who won a medal in swimming. She was so proud of her son. Makes me want to cry!
Anyhoo, I'm off again. Talk soon. Ta ta for now.
*In the heat of summer sunshine I miss you, like nobody needs to know*

Lazy Days
I've just now realized how much I am enjoying this summer. I had a huge upset a few months back and was sure that that one event had determined how my summer would go. I am so happy here in my new place. I think I've grown up (my own opinion, of course!), and I am just all around feeling good. I am content.
Had the computer fixed yesterday. Yay! I'm loving the 'new' fixed computer. We're all amazed over here with how fast it is. I swear, it doesn't take much to grab our attention! haha! My next task is to buy a webcam. I really want one.
Went shopping today and managed not to spend any money. I'm going to pat myself on the back for that one. It's so hard to come home empty handed...especially since I saw the prettiest purse! I walked away!
It's hard to believe that August is half over already. It'll soon be time to get back to work for me. I'm looking forward to it. I'll get to see 'my boys' again. I've missed them. No more sleep in's though. That'll be rough. I do love my sleep in's!
I'm taking off again. Talk soon. Ta ta for now.

My first blog entry! Everyone else seems to have a blog and I figured I may as well have one myself. Thank you so much Sheldon for creating this for me. You are such a sweetie pie...mmmmmm.....pie! Hehe! I absolutely love the picture of Melissa. You've done a great job.
Well, here I am living on my own again. After a year of living back home it's such a relief to finally have my own room and my own space. You don't know how much you miss space until you ain't got any! The living situation is so far so good. Living with the oldest of my brothers and his lovely girlfriend Lynette. She keeps us well fed, so no complaints from me. God love her!
All I need now is a puppy of my very own. I'm dying to get one. I want a cuddle buddy! Mom has a new kitten and she is gorgeous. I am in love. A little bitty grey thing with peach running through her fur. When you kiss her she licks her lips. Who in the world can help but fall in love with an animal?
I think I'm going to enjoy this blog. Lets just hope it's not like my diary...I say I'll write every couple of days and then a week goes by, then two, and before you know it it almost seems pointless to pick up the pen! Haha! I'll try my best to keep everyone updated on what's going on here in wonderful Clarke's Beach. Please feel free to leave me comments or little messages. I love that stuff.
Jenn, I didn't get to dedicate 10 paragraphs to you, but I did keep my word on the title. God love you...you're such a cutie!
That's it for now guys. I think I'll mosey on and find something on tv. Ta ta for now.
*You're going the right way for a smacked bottom, and I don't care who knows it*
