ok, they're not really of doom, however here in st. Catharines you don't need a quarter dr anything to get a shopping cart. Also, you're allowed to take it home, and they send someone out once a week to collect them. This results in everyone having their own shopping cart, plus some all over the sides of the road! Just thought i'd share that before work!
Nope... Just everything else around me melting... Like the cheese in my sandwich, my yogurt covered granola bar... Am waiting for my name tag to start melting to... Its super hot here... And humid, which makes it that much worse. Anyways, just thought i'd tell y'all bout the weather...
Well yesterday i got the full effect of home. I was following manager out in deep country... Lots of cows, chickens, horses, tho i'm sad to report i didn't actually get to talk to any of the animals... However a huge turkey ran in front of the car! Then we stopped at a farm with little girls the oldest in grade one... All Dressed in pink which was like a failed attempt at being girly, lol! They were all covered in dirt from playing, one had no shoes... Reminded me of me, and my childhood. After that we stopped at a house in a village, where the dad was working in the garage... Felt like the other part of home, engulfed in the smell of grease, sounds of metal clanging. But here i am, once again stuck on a unnecessarily long bus ride... Oh well, good dez time
Yay.! For the first time, i get to take the train! Its so cool, just like in the books i read! Hopefully no murders tho... Wee!!
its wonderful... There are vinyards every where here in the niagra area... Makes of want to learn word about wine, which i'm sure would be easy here. In other random news, i have green tea in pill form now... Just cause i don't have time or the ability to drink three cups a day. Anyhoo... Going to use this chance to catch some zz's... (exciting train side eh?)
hugs and kisses
mine forever more,
dez
So our story begins last night. Darby returns home slightly late and starts her paperwork while i'm finishing mine. Them her parents call... Then hours later she's still on the phone... Finally escapes, and goes back to do her paperwork and wants company. So i sit with her and it becomes painfully obvious she's not 100% sure what she's doing. Also, she's misplaced last weeks paperwork that she needs to complete tonights paperwork. After endlessly searching, i find it... Put away where it belongs. So i manage to finish her paperwork, and we go to bed at 1:30 am... Drag our asses outa bed at 7:30 and start the drive to hamilton. *flashback* in nashville, during darby's oil change they informed her her rear differential fluid was dirty, so she let them change it. *back to ontario* so we're driving to london this morning when her car pulls funny.. Then its ok... And then its really not ok. So we pull over, and i being the only of with car knowledge, crawl under sally (darby's suv) and i realize that the smoking
Is actually some post off fluid leaking, and burning off... I know what is leaking i just don't know WHAT it is. But randomly, and luckily a tow truck driver stops within minutes of us pulling over. Says its the rear diff, gets my bcaa number, and tows us to st catharines toyota dealer. Well, we're in ontario and its sunday so naturally nothings open. Also, dealers have the stupidest parking lots ever. At first we tried to push sally in to a spot but ended up rehooking her up and doing it that way. While she was jacked up, we took a good look, turns out when the changed the rear diff fluid, they didn't tighten it so from nashville to today its been leaking until no more lube, metal on metal, snap. Yay. So the driver took us back to our hq, we grabbed lisa's car and a couple granola bars (have i mentioned we haven't had breakfast?!?) we're just arriving in london, we all have pee, we're hungry, and we're nearly two hours late. It's going to be an awesome week... Can only in up from here.
Well i really wanted to post, but i now have no idea why, i've been really dyslexic lately... Like buttering one side of the toast, jamming the other... Writing out maps of houses without street names... Reversing the houses on my mass, or mixing up numbers on my order pad. Very fun, but no wonder i can't remember what i wanted to post. But today is going to be an awesome day. Going to catch up with all the families i've been missing, and yesterday was pay day, so everyones going to want books!
Quick post while i eat my pb & j. Everything goes well here. Had a bit of a melt down the other day, but since that i'm absolutly awesome. Got to talk to my mel, which was so nice. Cole... I keep meaning to phone you, i'll catch up with you soon. Phil... It took you that long to realize i was gone? Tsk tsk. Weathers weird here. It rains, its sunny, but not warm, kinda windy which isn't fun to bike into, but maybe i'm just whiny. Anyways sandwich all gone.
Well... Sundays are our days off, but we have meetings. Once again our meeting was in london. However the story starts last night. Last 2 familes of the night, were so cool. Very french, and very nice. Stayed kinda late though, so didn't get home till late, they stole my room mate so she could follow another manager, so i got lauren instead. Very cool british girl. We had the worst giggling fit before bed... Very much fun. Um i need to in ve bed so long story short me and darby drove three very drunk team mates grocery shopping after our meeting... Good might
Sad day in dez land i took my chain off... I have tan lines from it, AND its turning my neck green. Keeping mel's on tho. Oh, and i love my host brother. He's almost seventeen and very intelligent. I'm always the first one home, but he's generally here so we sit and talk, very nice, good company. Memo to the denny's employees. Whoever see's elliott next tell him i say hi, and tell him how i'm doing. Thank you!
Hi! Well, i'm going to start this off by saying i love my job. Sometimes i'm not sure why, but i really do. Today it poured rain, and he you don't know i'm walking door to door, i had to literally peel my jeans off, my coat is drip drying downstairs, and my hands were at a few points today wrinkly from moisture. But i loved almost every minute of it. Everyday is truely a great day to be a bookgirl. I net some of the coolest, nicest, most interesting people.
I net a few snarly ones i'm sure, but at the second you walk away you forget. Also, i know i've said it before, but i'm changing alot, and definitly for the better. I radiat positive energy, lol. Anyways, i love hearing from everyone. So send e-mails txt msgs, or comment here since all comments are sent to my e-mail inbox. Some of you haven't said much since i left, cough, nic, and good not at all, double cough, phil. I miss everyone, hugs and kisses.
I miss my lil sister. My ears are also sunburnt. Nose is raw from run, and blowing it constantly.
new things for the day, i saw a robin eat a worm. Was very fascinating. Now we're eating ice cream. Yay
For anyone whos interessted we found residence after knocking on many doors. Much fun actually, people are so nice... Totally want to help people. Anyways, the cool thing about where i'm living, is that my landlord is a very tall jamaican lady. For the three of us is a grand a month, but food is included. Yay! Haven't met her yet, lisa, my roommate and a manager took care of it all, so we'll move in tonight. So at the moment i'm listening to darby rap to ice ice baby as we drive to hamilton to help some people there set up housing! Ha ha... Driving through grimsby... What a name.
Just passed a sign that said maple syrup. Yup... And it was a street sign. Also, somewhere in the states there was a street called bluelick. THAT definatly made me happy. Discovered my room mate loves BNL almost as much as me. She also backed into a car today, so all in all, great day today! My cheeks are slightly sunburnt already, so i look all rosey, but my eyes are white even tho i don't where sunglasses, so i've got the heroin addict look going on. Before i forget, no forwards please, unless its something i HAVE to see... I can't really effectively do e-mail gotta run hugs to all

Funny how life is sometimes... How somethings take up so long to figure out, when to others its so obvious or easy, or when we initially think its so bad, generally for life, them one day you're like, oh... I get it now. Sales school has been an awesome experience that i'll never forget. And i hope there realizations stick with me for life. Believe me... Everyday is a great day to be a book girl. The skills i'm learning here apply to EVERYTHING in life. I'm so focussed here, and you're not going to believe this, i forgot about the two pieces of chocolate i packed! Yay dez, getting over that addiction! OH so everyone knows, i'll be staying in St. Catherine ontario. Friday i'l be on the road again, so i'l try and get some e-mails out then. I'm so excited to be here, i'm loving all of it. Know that i love and even maybe miss you i lil to, lol. Hugs for all. Dez
