It’s been interesting lately, that’s for sure. *smile* After the potluck party in Ottawa, I kept busy during the week doing stuff around the house and I also was surprised a while back talking to my ex Steve, he was worrying about money for a cross-country trip he wanted to take and I asked him where he was going, and I would help him out if he was going out west so that I could meet a friend out there…just to see.
And we got talking, and he was going out east, not west, and we were talking about it…I had not been out east before and was intrigued by the idea of going there. *smile* And well, we started talking…he then decided not to go out east and stay here in Ontario and camp here instead, as he was really low on money and didn’t want to take all of my money…*laughs* So I was fine with that.
Since we were talking a while, I figured that we could take a bit and talk things out between us in person. So we decided on going to Sharbot Lake and camp there for a few days and enjoy the nature and talk stuff out, and just enjoy ourselves, platonically, and so on.
There has been so much stuff going on…my brother and Kelly had a baby shower last weekend at one of my brother’s old friend’s parents house, and it was pretty nice, though really hot with all the sun glaring on us. Wow. When I first got there, I met up with Brenda and Ken and their son Brandon…I hadn’t seen them in a really long time so I started talking with them. Brenda and Ken were a couple that I knew from high school and was best friends with my brother. Ken was a grade above me and Brenda was a grade under me, so I know them quite well. *smile* I also got introduced to Brandon, who I had last seen as a little baby, so he was a lot bigger than I had last seen him. It was pretty cool actually. Then more and more people started arriving, some family members, some of their friends, and Jase had to go out and pick up of his buddies who didn’t have a car…*laughs* He even went out and picked up one of his old friends from London, Zofie, from Toronto, which was crazy. Haha…she and her boyfriend were there and just talking to everybody. I talked a bit with the owners of the house, they were exactly the same as always, I remember meeting them quite a bit when my brother used to go over to visit his best friend Matt, who was unable to make the shower because of work. His parents, Lynda and Pat did a bit of talking, and I even got to see Matt’s son, TJ, who was pretty cute. The mother of TJ, Karen, was there as well. I used to know her from school as well. *laughs* It was a bit of a small world there. Kelly’s friend Eve was there as well, and she was the one who threw the shower with the help of Kelly’s mom. There were a few different people around so it was good talking to them and catching up and getting to know them.
I even went for a swim at one point because it was so hot, and swam a bit with Brenda and her son Brandon…more and more people started joining us, and I was cooled off enough and got out. Kelly actually went swimming for the first time. She was still a bit self-conscious about how she looked with her being pregnant, but she looked just fine. *laughs* Everyone had to tell her that! Haha…Crazy. We did some swimming, and then when everyone got out, and everyone made Kelly sit down and open up gifts with Jason.
They then went through all the gifts, and ate supper from the BBQ, and talked, so it was good, then when it was over, everyone started leaving. The shower was for 2 to 5, and I think most people finally started leaving after 7 which was a little crazy. Haha…I imagine the hosts of the party were exhausted…the shower was good in the way I was able to catch up with old friends and see what was new, so it was pretty nice. *smile* I was really tired after the shower though, after being in the sun all afternoon so it was crazy. *laughs*
After the shower, that night, I met up with a guy that I had been talking to a little while, Shawn, and we just sat around and hung out and talked a bit…it was interesting, actually. He was a nice guy. Then the next day I continued with all the packing and getting ready for the cottage that I was leaving for on Tuesday morning…I was just so exhausted. Haha… Got everything I needed packed up and then Tuesday morning I got up and made sure with Steve that everything was all set, and realized in the emails that he wanted to postpone it because of the weather and I was a bit dumbfounded, as it was okay back here, it wasn’t raining yet or anything…then a couple of hours later it started pouring. *laughs* It rained, and rained, and rained…I was glad that we did decide to postpone it because of that day…I can’t imagine having to get there, and dealing with the rain and setting up the tents. Haha…So we postponed the trip to next Monday for the week. So I’m staying in town for the next week and trying to relax. *smile* The same day I was supposed to leave for Sharbot Lake, my mom asked if I wanted to go out to the store to pick up things, food and the such like. So I went out for a couple of hours to Canadian Tire to get items I needed (such as an air mattress) and things my mom needed, so it was a good outing. By the end of the day I was so tired…and now I get to relax the rest of the week, so I’m looking forward to that. Heh…then going to go camping next week. I am kind of eager to see how that turns out…it’s been a while since I have last camped. I would think that the last time I actually slept in a tent was probably when I used to go to my best friend’s family island and we used to sleep in tents then…it was a lot of fun though. *smile* Hehe… but that was in high school. Wow. Since then I have enjoyed the outdoors in cottages and the such like, so I haven’t actually done the whole camping part in ages, so it’ll be interesting. *smile* I’ll get my memory refreshed. Hehe….
Hm, I think that’s all. *smile*
