I had quite a great weekend this weekend. Camping was great. We have 2 more trips planned, and hopefully we'll camp all the way to the end of September. It is getting colder at night, so maybe not, but we do have a furnace!
The only crappy thing is that we haven't gotten a chance to go to Tumbler Ridge - my favourite place. Maybe once September comes we'll stop camping and start doing day trips!

Camping & Crocheting
I wish I could post a photo to set this scene. Words will have to do.
I'm in the middle of a campground, sitting at a picnic table. To my right is a roaring campfire, waiting for John to get back from work to cook some smokes. To my right, is the truck, which is powering the satellite radio station playing from the trailer behind me. And in front of me is a ball of blue wool, crochet hooks, a notebook, and a cross stitch pattern that I am going to attempt to turn into a blanket. And mosquitos are buzzing all around.
Welcome to my weekend!

Brilliance
I wish I had some of that today. I'm completely drawing a blank on what to write about today.
Like, completely blank.
Work, as usual, is slow. There were a few exciting things to take care of this morning (missing freight) but nothing that took very much time. Too bad.
Tonight is camping night! I hope the bugs aren't too bad. I'd like to be able to sit out without having to spray myself with repellent. Anything to not have to use that stuff!
But anyways. Back to work.

Massage
Does anything feel better than a massage? I don't think there is much. My masseuse is kind of mean, so I feel like I want to scream the whole time, but I feel amazing afterwards.
We took our trailer out to the campsite tonight, and we'll be camping all weekend. Love it!
Anyway, time for bed!

Camping Prep
Yes! Time to camp again! I am so excited for more camping! I think it's supposed to rain this weekend, but I don't care. I want to camp so badly!
So, tonight was a lot of prep for camping, and now it's time to relax. Mom and I started to walk after work again, and my knees are aching a bit. I'm thinking a bath is in order. I did clean up my bedroom, so I might as well enjoy it! And my book!
Anyhow. I should go. Time to beat the heat! Have a good night!

Walking The Track
I had an excellent walk today at our indoor track. It's around 26 degrees Celsius when I leave work, so I can't really go for a walk outside, but thank goodness for the track. They already have the ice in on the two bottom rinks and the oval, so it's nice and cool in there. And at 3, it's very dead in there so you don't have to worry about people blocking your way. So nice! I think I might go back tomorrow after work too!

Conclusions...
So, I've come to a few conclusions - wanna hear about them?
First of all, I've come to the conclusion that though I want my blog to be a crafty kind of blog, it's not going to happen. I love some of the blogs out there that are dedicated to crafts. If I wanted to have more than one blog, that would work. I toyed with the idea a few months back, but I deleted the other, crafts-only blog because I didn't think I could maintain it. I want one blog, but I want it to be about life, so c'est la vie. I guess I will have to deal with it not being a total craft blog, but I hope you'll keep reading anyways.
Second of all, I've come to the conclusion that posting every day is getting to be a nuisance, but I have a goal, and I am going to stick to it. Look out for next year though. Might not be the same thing!
Thirdly, I've come to the conclusion that I may never understand my feelings about my grandmother's death. I think my father is going through the same thing in a totally different way. I'm not sure if I should feel sad, or upset or anything, so I'm just not going to until the mood strikes me. We're talking about going back there next year to see the family (one last time for me). We shall see.
Fourthly, I've come to the conclusion that I HATE ALLERGIES. Why did I get them all of a sudden? I am so stuffed up, and antihistamines only take the edge off. So lame!
And fifthly - I think this will be the last one - I've come to the conclusion that I need to get off of my butt again. I've gained so much weight this summer, and I've barely cared. Now that I know how much I have, I need to get going. I've been doing well food wise today, now it's time to get going with exercise. I have an Oil Wives planning meeting tonight, but hopefully I will be able to convince myself that I need to get out and go for a walk at some point too. I have a change of clothes and my runners and hikers with me, so there shouldn't be an issue, but you know how that goes. With the allergies, I've been so super tired I'm finding it very easy to make the excuses.
So, back to work. Just thought I would share some conclusions with you all while I have them on my mind. Tomorrow, photos of my newest finished project!
