Monday. My 20th birthday has come and gone. I am more than a little pleased to have the 'teen' removed from the number corresponding to the years I have lived, because I honestly believe that saying you are nineTEEN and saying you are TWENTY is a huge difference in the eyes of the listener. So I am glad to be out of the teens, all growed up and stuff;)
I spent the weekend in Kananaskis, camping with 17 other people through my church and we had a really good time. We went on a hike (I did the short part of the hike, only 17 km... yes. that is the short part), played in the river, sat in the hot tubs, played some tennis, and lots of time sitting around the fire just hanging out. It was a good weekend.
And now on this monday, nearly all my thoughts and attention is focused on the finish of this week, the big bang to finish the summer off, my sisters wedding. As the maid-of-honor, I have not quite got everything figured out yet. I still have to write a 3 minute speech, and essentially my whole week is devoted to her, if she needs me to do something, I'll do it because my position in the wedding party, my blood relations, and my desire to do it will command that I help in any and all ways possible. No, I have not yet memorized the song for the ceremony, I am working on that yet. I am at least learning the right song now, so that is a good start. No, I have no idea what I am going to be doing as a mistress of ceremonies. They haven't told me what they are looking for, and I am lost as to what my duties are. I have no jokes, and am uncertain about what stories to tell, or what gags. So if anyone has ANY ideas for jokes or gags or dinner order or anything I would love to hear it!
I am slightly concerned about the weekend because I got super stuffed up over the weekend and am sneezing all the time, and sniffling even worse. Hopefully I am clear headed by friday or saturday.
The only other thing that my focus is on is moving. Sept 1 is the big day in which I will move alot of my stuff out from home and into the apartment. I have not yet started packing, and to be honest, I don't remember a time when my room was a bigger mess, but somehow, in the next two weeks, while working a few more shifts, helping with the wedding, visiting with friends, catching up with family in town for the wedding, and shopping for things for the apartment, I have to pack. It will be an intersting couple weeks, thats for sure!
BUt I must be going. I have things to do and no time to do it. Have to be at work in 3 hours and have many things I was hoping to accomplish first, things that are getting nowhere the longer I sit here, wasting time. So if you have any ideas, let me know, I would apperciate it. Otherwise, take care and don't fall in the river...
