Life, in general

So...
Life's been interesting.
Last week Saturday I went to West Edmonton Mall's Waterpark by myself. They had super cheap rates that evening, for some charity or other.
So, I'm walking through West Ed, and this fellow stops me. He's like, "Do you wear makeup?" "Nope, I don't" "Really????" "No, never" " No eyeliner, either?" "Nope!" "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Yup" "Well, I can make you look prettier for him" "Well, I think my boyfriend likes me the way I am"
Hehehe, he looked so nonplussed. I'm pretty sure most girls would have stopped to try whatever he was offering, and I might have, just for fun, but I was going swimming! I for sure did not in any way need any jazz dripping down my face in the water!! So he eventually just gave up, and I walked on my merry way...
Work's been interesting recently. It's really weird to work in a place where basically nobody gives a rip about the job. I ended up putting my back out, because nobody really cares what happens, so they weren't doing their jobs... So, I'm REALLY looking for a different job now.
Oh, and now I picked up some nasty bug from my little nephew, so I'm not going to work, either. At least I got a raise recently, so I'm earning more in the hours I do end up working...
So my family were planning to visit, and they aren't going to, because of us being sick, and my boyfriend can't come either, I for sure don't want him sick...
I read an awesome book I'd recommend to any girl who is even starting to think about relationships and stuff, called And The Bride Wore White. I think I'm going to let my sisters borrow it... There is a boy version, too, written by the lady's husband, called Who Moved The Goalpost? It made me think a lot. And that's good, right now especially...

Happy New Year.

So.
Laura and Henry and my nephews are in Mexico.
Which means I am home by myself.
Having been raised in such a large family, this is a new sort of experience for me.
But it's only the first day, we'll see how tomorrow goes, at church...
I would definitely be open to someone phoning now and again.
Meanwhile, I have to compose a cover letter for the job I'd like to get at the bank. The plan so far is to work there full-time and a few hours at Mcdonalds every day as well. Let's just say the road is stretching out long ahead of me, but I can't see it. And I don't really know what I should or even want to, do.
Maybe I should go someplace else for a while, I was originally thinking Australia sounded pretty good. I know several people who have gone for a while. And it's supposed to be easier to get a job there, too. Not so much do about visas and permits and such. Not that I would know. But less fuss always means, for me, a larger chance of doing whatever it is. I don't really know, though. Even though I love the sound of going and doing something like that, and I've really been enamored of Australia for several years, it still sounds like something somebody else can maybe do, but not me.
I asked my Mom for some of my favorite muffin recipes, so I should be able, if I end up having the time and inclination, to bake sometime this week. But I'll probably do some cooking, anyways, or I'll end up eating leftovers and bread. Maybe I should take a cooking class or something. It would probably be fun.
I just finished watching 'Julie & Julia'. It was actually recommended by a pastor, and now I know why. The relationships between the ladies and their husbands is amazing to watch. I loved it!
But I'd better go and finish the laundry, and a few other things I've put off too long already...
Ta ta for now!
