FRI 3 APR | I'm at home for the... By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
Yes, I am at home once again for a day... actually the second time this week... due to this annoying cold that I have, it seems to go away and then now it is worse than it was to begin with I will see what I get done today.. it isn't like I don't have any energy to do anything, just haven't been sleeping like I should be at night.. and also the fact that if I showed up at work with the cough I have today they would ream me out...so hey then stick it we just take a sick day and do some other things.. it should all work out in the end..

TUE 7 APR | First day back at work again... By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
Let me tell you it sucks.. like crazy ... way to much to do to little time and now I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed.. kinda like when you just start a job and you feel like everything is hitting you and you don't know what to do first and last.. LOL.. anyway I have chior tonight so I will have to see how that goes because my voice is so not back to normal yet.. Sunday I couldn't sing worth beans in church so we shall see.. who knows I might just be in luck.. ya never know.. Anyway I should go I'm sitting here at the University using Leanna's laptop... Ya I need to go somewhere to chill for a while, and she wanted me to watch a video on Youtube but I can't at work or at home so I guess this is where I end up.. otherwise it would have been at the Library.. LOL...! Anyway that is all for now.. l8r!
TUE 7 APR | Well my voice is almost gone... By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
after spending 2 1/2 hours singing my voice decided that it was pretty much enough... in the end it was almost touch and go.. but I survived the evening.. so we are all good... LOL ! Now just the performance.. hopefully by then it is even better.. cause yesterday it was totally impossible.. but today apparently much better than I thought.. anyway that is that for my choir experience tonight...

Well after running around like crazy I did manage to get everything done but not until almost 11:30 which I know that is insane but I was freaking out about finishing some invitations and then I had to pack all my stuff... in the end.. well just mean't little sleep for me... Which really does suck but hey I survive and that is all that matters..
Anyway I'm in Sunnyside now so I guess this will probably be all that for this weekend...

TUE 14 APR | Stuff that is done.. that we did this past weekend.. By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |




TUE 14 APR | Couch/Loveseat.. By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
Ok, so here it the picture of the Couch and Loveseat.. we didn't get the chair since John wants a Lazyboy... Anyway you get the idea..
When we went shopping for furniture we wanted something that wasn't very big and clumsy since we don't have a lot of space.. so this is what we found.. 33 inches deep from back to front.. so it works out great.. turns out when we asked in the store 40 to 44 is very normal..

WED 22 APR | Seriously... By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |

What in the world..after having 25 degree + weather.. I think it was actually warmer than that but hey ya whatever... now we have this.. and I go to work like it is summer.. LOL I wore just a thin sweater (with a t-shirt) and flip flops this morning and ya so I came home in snow with that.. haa haa that is a good one or not.. mind you I don't mind the moisture but the fact that it is snow after it was that warm does suck!
Anyway other than that the usual boring day.. other than I finished a few things at work.. so I actually had something to do for once again.. not anything fun mind you.. stupid Lab Manual that won't make a difference to me in the end.. only my file.. I wanted to photocopy someone elses that is the same as mine and paste it in.. especially because it is something that is supposed to be done when you first start not when you are almost done and it won't make a flippin difference... yup I'm grumpy again.. only about that though...
WED 22 APR | About 3/4 hour later... By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |

I will randomly sit down and play for a little bit, pretty much when I have other stuff to do.. and I need to be in the mood but it works.. this was last Saturday, since I had found some free downloadable music online and finally had the piece Fur Elise again.. Anyway for those of you who are interested it was from the following website: http://www.gmajormusictheory.org/Freebies/freebies.html

SAT 25 APR | Yay it is slightly nicer out... but... By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
Well after the snow storm it is slightly nicer out but I don't think it will get a whole lot better considering the forecast..
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caab0194
Flurries till Thursday at this moment in time... Rain today and then by tonight rain/flurries.. and then Sunday yup snow again.. Oh well I guess if that is what it wants to do it will... I'm sad though cause after the nice warm weather this isn't fun... nevermind the road to work is a complete disaster..
SAT 25 APR | Pictures.. cardmaking and Teddy.. By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |

MON 27 APR | Since I'm relieved to have the invitations done... By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
.. now I'm excited.. and hmm I was going to say don't know what to do with myself but that isn't exactly right because I still have stuff to do. I have a quilt that I need to finish for someone who asked me to make it and I figured oh what is the big deal I have lots of time.. ummm yaaaa for how long..??? ha typical.. I will get it done but that means trying to find time and stuffing my agenda to the top like usual... am I stressing about it yet.. nope not in the least so as long as that stays that way I'm good.. once I get there well I need some help...
One thing that I hate about this weather is that it can't make up its mind.. seriously why did it have to get so nice and then turn around and get so crappy... especially cause the road to work is a complete disaster and not only that apparently my car isn't good enough for the bad roads... In my opinion it is but who knows... whatever I'm not getting into details.. I'm not mad so as long as I'm not mad no explaination necessary.... just sad cause I couldn't go to a friends early tonight.. but driving with mom and dad.. since they need to head that way and will be taking the truck... oh well I will survive.. just means I get a shorter visit.. and considering that we chat every day on gmail.. and then she is going to Ontario for a few months.. I will be bored at work and will miss her I guess.. hmmm I'm going to have to find another addiction! Or I need someone new to chat with all the time!
Anyway gotta finish the last few envelopes.. for the invitations.. and then I'm set! (I consider myself done which is why I say I am!)

WED 29 APR | Leanna's Goodbye Party.. By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |

Mind you even though she is only going to Ontario for two months I'm still sad.. Anyway so Leanna is on the left and her sister Melinda!

Her dad tried out my camera out and this is one of the pics.. I kinda like it so that is why it ends up on my blog of course..


Leanna's brother.. Austin and her dad, and John(my John's cuz) has his back to the camera.

Arthur, Bruce, Austin, and one of her little sis's.. don't know what her name is so will leave it at that..

another bro.. Me, Adriana, Elizabeth, Leanne.
Well that is that.. we just sat around and had a nice visit... mostly because most of them left early cause the roads were so bad...

THU 30 APR | Ha Ha.. I feel like I got a promo.. By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
.. or something.. apparently next week I will be doing the town run at work..(Picking up all the little things in the morning/mail etc.) I just found out today.. am I excited.. not really.. change of pace that is forsure.. but I guess I will have to see how that works out. I ended up running into town today because.. ya stupid me forgot to write something on the list for the person.. and of course no one else felt like it and it was my fault after all so yup I guess that mean't it was my job.. ha now all I can say it was kinda freaky driving the government van.... hmmm wow and it made me watch my driving.. believe it or not.. only cause it isn't my own and it sucks to have to go through paperwork for anything in the gov.. not that it being my own makes all the difference cause it sucks if you smuck that up to.. but ugh.. whatever I think you get what I mean.. not only that speed.. well way less of an issue in there cause I sure don't want to get a radar in the mail.. or get pulled over for that matter, especially not cause it is a government vehicle..
Anyway so that is my story/experience for the day.. tomorrow.. well apparently I need to go pick out some shoes at Mark's since I need steel toed shoes for the run.. yup gov. protocols for you..
