I've realized that I haven't posted here in ages. Its been a busy summer - as I forgot to check to see what my last was about so I'll just write a few random notes.

First - the upcoming plan - for a while at least looks like its going forward...I have a vague idea of what I'll be doing for the next few weeks, months and even sort of years which makes me happy...for upcoming changes - I'm moving back to Vancouver in October to find a job and save some money to go to the UK next year to work and hang out. So if you're looking for me thats where I'll be.

In other news - I'm working on some cool knitting projects and looking forward to Carol-Ann, Jo and Naomi coming this fall.

I've kept busy this summer travelling, knitting, camping, taking pics, working on the garden, extracting honey, helping out with my Gma, Uncle and family and also working. I've worked for TNRG and also with Arjun for the summer and have learnt a lot. More details on that soon.

can't believe we're having another election this fall - seems our governments are more worried about each other than doing anything positive for the country at the moment. Especially in a period where it seems we need many new policies and updates to legislation to become more relevant to today's society but also to help make the world a better place.


thats my rambling for today - i've accomplished making two pot scrubbers, making stew for dinner, applying for four jobs, looking for apartments and catching up with a few friends. yah!

For anyone who reads my blog you might know I'm doing a bit of a job shadowing exercies this summer with Arjun Singh this summer...Today he convinced me to be videoed for his blog and wrote a little blurb.  Thanks Arjun!  Here is the blog post, and for those of you interested in issues around Kamloops check out the commentary about local issues, city council etc as well as some of the links here...and check out neighbourhood forums an initiative to send neighbourhood specific newsletters to members of the community!! It should be pretty sweet!!

this is the last day and i must agree with
nerelim
 that in some ways i'm sad its over but in others its a bit of a relief because its hard to remember/find something interesting etc and then post pics..however this has lead me to conclude that i want to put more pics in my blog again - a la early scotland - and also that i wish more of my friends read my lj cuz i do post here and then i never hear anything back from it...which kinda makes me sad

a mix...
Rules

Fewer pics today...but a theme I do say...


Rules

Aim of the Game: For one week, you are to post photographs taken during the day.

Rules:
1. You must take between 6 and 8 new photographs per day.
2. Your WITL must be consecutive. No skipping days.
3. You must post your photographs at the end of that day, sometime after the last picture is taken.
4. Each photograph must have the time taken beneath and a title, with no other explanation.

You must post these rules at your first entry, then link back to it for the other six days so that people will know wtf you're doing.

Your post must say "A Week in the Life of [your name/username], Volume [whatever day you're on]."

DONE!!! 

so exciting.  and well other exciting news but i need to wait and make a big post and do this shit right...

not a lot to say today, however my thesis is going well and the end of semester is rapidly approaching...scary....

got my taxes done and am addicted to project runway again...oh dear!  oh well.

tj was down over night and i knit her a mini pink mitt to give her as a good luck for her interview...

and learned about tax policy...fun times

big weekend in the life of mairi - i'm in victoria for the weekend hanging out with megan and laura...this of course is great fun!  found the most excellent sweater pattern, and was so sad to find out that its only in tiny sizes so i'll have to wait and knit it at a later time...i'm also really missing the gym...i've been stretching and such when we've been sitting but its not quite the same...

Laura got her tat yesterday and it turned out gorgeous...made me want to get mine at the same time too but i have to wait and find some cash and an artist.  time to go take bandages off!  lol...

well more later...     

usually i'm the one standing in the yarn store helping my best friend to be 'unenabled' in her yarn purchasing, i tease her that the yarn shoppers anon group is on the phone or at the door for her etc...however this weekend i found beautiful hand dyed yarn and got some new sock yarn to add to what i already got for christmas...so here are some pics for your viewing pleasure...mind the drool on the keyboards!!





enjoy!

i bought the yarn for these two projects when i was travelling in europe last year....

so school started again today, i made a 22nd birthday resolution and got that under way today and i got asked to be a bride's maid for my friends wedding in a year and a half....such exciting times...i'm back in burnaby, moved nearly into my new room and enjoying it so far...we'll see how it goes after roomie gets back, though i'm sure it will be fine...
