busy not so busy...

So I've been busy, in the sense that I just haven't taken the time to blog about anything...

Last weekend was our local Sportsman/Trade Show. It was a very long weekend sitting at the arena all weekend. However my co-workers great idea of giving fish away was a huge success. For a dollar you got 3 tries to throw a ball in a cup, if you got it you got a fish. We must have given away 50 or so fish. Friday night we even ran out of goldfish and had to "steal" extra fish from the store on Saturday. We also held a fundraising draw for the local animal shelter, for every dollar donated you got a ballot to enter to win a 35 dollar gift card, we raised about 50 dollars for the animal shelter. It was a great weekend of PR but I'm glad its over until next year.

This week is busy busy. My birthday on Thursday so dinner and dessert at moms. Friday I'm going to Timmins with Mom and Dad to see the new Star Trek movie, I just invited dad but mom invited herself to come along too guess she's going to treat us both for our birthdays. Then Saturday I'm off to Ottawa to throw a surprise bachelorette party for my BFF! She thinks I'm coming down to celebrate my bday with her haha wrong! It should be a fun weekend. Then I'm back home on Tuesday in time for supper at the parents for dads birthday.

We're also planning and finalizing things for my turkey raising project...Nick and Dad are building the turkey house this weekend while I'm away.

And things are in the works for me to get back into scouting as a cub scout leader. I'm excited. I've missed volunteering and especailly being involved in scouting. It's going to be very hard for me not to jump in with both feet and get uber involved like I was before, but I want to take thing easy at first and see how things have changed in the last ten years.

Hope everyone is enjoying their spring.
