Bringin' Home The Bread.

Say Hey Hey!

So almost two weeks gone by so I figured I should right. And here I GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

So I started working by myself on Monday. Steph was house managing with Martyna so I was working alone. I had to dig out a 6 foot by 10 - 12 foot garden bed, two 20 square foot trianglular beds, and on about 25. It was easy work and I was done it all by about 2. I went and cleaned the Sugar Shack, it's a hall that seats about 100 people with tables that the Museum rents out. It was just like work before Katimavik so easy peasy. I came home and just chilled for the rest of the night. On Tuesday I dug a little more and trimmed the crap out of these trees. It took like an hr and a half per tree. After work I had dinner and then went to French class. We started working on words and sentence structure and we learned some dinner table conversation, mainly asking to pass something. It was nice, better then all the stuff the week before. At KCC I told Gab about how the French class was going and that it was horrible. She was teaching us congigation or some shit like that. And how to do all this stupid crap that would never help us. We ended up just asking questions about her to get her off topic so that we didnt have to do anything. Such bullshit. But its all good now!! =D We learning usefull stuff! On Wensday we didnt have to work. We went to Roso Provincial Park and did vollenteering. Gab had time off though so our PSL, Marisol, came and drove us there and helped out. We had to paint the building there. We started for the day by just priming. The guys and me started on this shed, scraping the paint that was chipping then started to work on the priming. We got finished the priming in time for JD to start our BBQ that the guy who asked for our help gave us. We had some tasty burgers. He didnt know that Gerard and Claudia were veggies so they didnt get burgers. Claudia packed her own lunch luckily and Gerard had a couple condiments sandwiches. After lunch we worked on this big gazibo like structure. Sorta like a cookhouse, like at Eagle River Campsite, but it had no wall and just benches for eating. We started to clean up and Marisol poked me and Gerard with her paintbrush. ... it was on. I turned and dragged my brush down he hand. She went in to slap my arm this her brush but I blocked with my brush. We started this intense sword battle with paint brushes. I went to strike and when I went to slap her with the bristles, she moved forward and I cracked her with the metal part of the brush.  We stopped then, when my back was turned, she walked up and hit my back. My brush was in the paint at the time so when I turned to slap her leg with my brush, there was a lot of paint. So I took of running. She chased be for a good 150 yards then I looked bsck to see how far behind she was, it looked like she was gunna try to fling paint at me. She threw the brush, struck me in the hip and down I went lol. It hurt, like a lot. We laughed about it, got our stuff put away then we went home. Marisol left the house to go home right away, some of us went to the Thrift shop to check what was in. The wasnt much but I got a Sublime cd for the house though! It was a pree chill night. We went out for some drinks, wings and general crunkness. Lol. On Thursday we went back to put on the paint. Gab went with us this time. The painting went pretty good. The same things got painted, We went ot paint the outdoor rink and thats when it got interesting. So Gab pokes me with the paint brush. I dont think much about it, what eves and all. Spencer's hot working it the sun so he got his shirt off. I walk up, put a big ol' smiley face on his back, laugh then get paint flicked at me by Gab. A massive war breaks out, paints getting thrown at almost everyone. Gerard's hair is self maintaining so all he does is wash it with water, so he didnt want any paint in his hair, so we repected his wishes. By now, Spencer got attack by JD with a paint-roller, and now Spencer didnt give two shits so we painting his ENITRE upper body. Armpits, webs of fingers, everything. Then Gab gave him a streak in his hair, he looked pre bad ass! Lol, all of our clothes are covered in paint. It was so much fun. When we got home, we showered like crazy. We had French class and we learned different foods and how to talk about what we did at work that day. It nice to learn some real stuff Lol.!! =D On friday we had free time for the night so it was nice. Hung out and watched Mallrats. Good movie! I love Jay and Silent Bob! =P On Saturday, we went to Steinbach. We picked strawberries for about an hour. We had a hell of a time getting there. We got in shit with Gab because our Activities Commitee didnt plan everything right. They had to get better directions and have a better plan for each activity in general. We got told the night before that we had to know if Gab needed cash or if she could pay with a credit card. We got there, we needed cash. Luckily before she left to go get cash, the lady told us it was on the house because it was the dead end of the season. We were really lucky. We got like 7 4L ice cream buckets full to the brim with strawberries. After we went to a "Pinoneer Village Party"... Not a actually party. We had lunch there. Sandwichs. They were good. Me and Gab got into a mustard fight so my second sandwich had about 4 or 5 tblespoons of mustard on it. Still good though. The village was a dud. So lame. We got a wagon ride from Ryan, a Steinbach Katimaviker. It was alright. The big highlight was we got to visit with the Steinbach group so that was good. The rest was sorta lame. And we were there for like 5 hours. It was fucking ridiculous. WE went home for supper then had the night off for free time. On Sunday we went to Winnipeg for the day. We went to the St. Boniface Museum. God. Damn. It. ARG!! The tour was like 45 min longer then we planned. The guide was this creepy little guy with a lazy eye. He said something to Gerard, but Gerard didnt realize it cuz of the eye so he got razzed a bit for not paying attention. And the dude was making so many French Dead Baby Jokes. Like common. I like a good Dead Baby Joke, but not on a museum tour. Show some damn perfessionalism. Like jeez. So after we went to the St. B house and had lunch in their back yard. Then we told them we were going to the Manitobia Museum because us actually going to Winnipeg for free time was not allowed so it was all good. We went to Osborne St. It kidna like Whyte Ave. A bunch of people got peircings. Then we went back to a Cultural Heritage Centre were Folkorama was going on. Theres like 70 countries with their own pavillions. Then they serve cultured based food, lives shows and performances, then there are booth with info about the country. We went to the Carribean one. The performances were good. There was a limbo dancer. She was really good. Even threw in a limbo under a stick on fire! The food was good. Had Curry Chicken. Then the booth were pretty cool too. There one country, only English speaking country in South America and it has a 700 foot, vertical drop waterfall; the worlds largest! And the worlds largest wooden structure in the world. a old church. Like 450 metres tall i think it was. Interesting stuff! Then we went home and hit the hay. On Monday we had fun. We went to Gimili, a 2 hour drive on the West side of Lake Winnipeg. We went to the Icelandic festival. We watched the big parade. There were some really nice cars there. It was fun. We got free time to do what ever for a bit before lunch. Me, Gerard and Steph hung out and went to a Hemp SHop. I got a really nice Hemp Hack. It was cheep too. Now Mom needs to send me my skate shoes so I can put it to good use! I tried a milkshake with hemp milk, it was good, very interesting. The guy working there was working on building a house made of hemp. We had sandwichs for lunch before more free time. We checked out the carnival rides and craft vendors they had there for a bit before watching a Viking Battle Tactics Demonstration. It was pretty bad ass. There was this guy with a wicked beard. So Awesome. We had a little more free time before we had supper. Maccaroni salad. Was tasty. We had a nice ride home too. Tiring day. I got a wicked farmers tan now. And after that day some racoon eyes lol. And a V neck tan. I feel like one bad ass mo fo now! lol On Tuesday Steph joined me for work. It was easy. We did some digging. We were done by like 12 so had the rest of the day off. At French class we got to play I Spy. SO MUCH FUN! Lol. And it was outside so it was a nice break from the classroom. We got out early too cuz Spencer went into the class during break and put the clock ahead 5 min. xD On Wensday me and Steph beat our record and were done work at like 10 30. We had a nice day off again. We went for wings at Lucky Lucs last night too. I talked to him and he gunna have a batch of C & A wings made up for me. =D IM SO FUCKING EXCITED!! GUNNA BE SO DELICIOUS!!! =D Then today me and Steph finished at 10 30 again. We hung out at the museum for like an hr and a half though and chilled. I got to go to French now though then of to Lucky Luc's for Chase The Ace. Chase The Ace is a event Luc made. You get a ticket for each ounce you buy. At 11 they draw a ticket. Winner chooses a card from the deck and if you get the wrong card it is taken out permently and the pot is upped by $25. If you get the Ace of Spades you win the pot.
