I love my wife Christine more than anything in the world. I just wanted to write that. |

I read a blog talking about how someon was surprised how much money they had sunk into the electronics theye carry with them. It started me thinking about how much money is in the outfit I am currently wearing and how many 13 dollar CD's I could buy. So:
Glasses 200
Grad Ring 500
Wedding Ring 250
Prospector boots 120 (looked up online as they were a present)
Socks 3
Underwear 6
Pants 30
Shirt 30
Watch 20
Belt 25
Jacket 50
Wallet 20
That is 1254 dollars or 96 CD's!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I never realized it was that much until just now. Even taking away the rings it is still 42 CD's.
How many CD's are you wearing? |

Kicks Butt! I am being flown to New Hampsire in a few weeks to attend a seminar on a specific fund raising style. I have never been sent anywhere for training like this before! Aside from that the people are all nice, no jaded and evil people like some jobs I could mention. The only part I have not enjoyed is contacting poeple who have not honoured their pledges.
New job rocks.Current Mood:  bouncy |

I am now the Public Relations and fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters Prince Edward Island. This makes me happy. |

I had a sort of interview for a position that I really want with a local non-profit organization. It is exactly the kind of work that I wish to be doing in Toronto so the experience in itself would be fantastic even if it was not with the organization that I want to work for in Toronto! The only thing working against me from what I undertsand is that I will be leaving next year and they would like a long term solution to their current needs. The last person gave one days notice and was gone and the work has been piling up, I pitched the idea that me being with them for a short period of time gave them time to do a more comprehensive search for the coming fall.
So here I sit, waiting to hear back from my references to see if they have been contacted. It is kind of nerve wracking!Current Mood:  nervous |

In my last post I wrote about my little brother being crushed because he was too young for army cadets, well, that is over as he is old enough foe sea cadets. We are going in tuesday evening to start filling out the forms.
Today was nice, I woke up late after seeing the Trews last night. Made breakfast for Christine and was lazy until I picked up Colby to gor see the movie Serenity, a pretty good movie. That was folowed by a trip to the art gallery and the library. After this the day became even more relaxed as Chris and I just slacked off and are now watching the Montreal Toronto game. Toronto is behind by one. Meh.
That was my day, pretty good I have tgo say. Cheers.

As some of you know I am a volunteer with the Big Brother Big Sister program. It is a fantastic organization and I can not say enough wonderful things about the organization, I know it works as I once was once a "little" and look how I turned out...um. Anyway, tonight I heard my little brother crying over the phone and it broke my heart. "Littles" idolize their "bigs" and often try to emulate them. I know I did and it was great as John was a fantastic big. Well C my little brother wants to follow in my footsteps and wants to join Army Cadets, the only problem is that he just turned eleven and you need to be twelve for insurance reasons. Well I had heard about kids under twelve joining and told him I could see what I could find out.
As you can tell this story does not have a happy ending, if he had been four months older they could have snuck him in, as it is he can only join Sea Cadets or maybe Air Cadets. Not that I have anything against these fine organizations but he had his heart set on Army Cadets and when I told him that he was to you I could hear his voice break. We talked for a while longer and I am going to take him to Sea Cadets next week to see what they are like and go from there. We talked about how he was disappointed but I could hear the tears in his voice and I know he was crying. In the background his sisters were being absolute prats but unfortunately that is not new.
So I am sending out some good wishes via the web and hope they find their way to help him in some weird way. Thanks for listening to my lament and urge anyone considering being a "big" to leave a replay and I can tell you about all of the amazing experiences that make up for the small holes in my heart.

I just found out that I am headed to Stephenville NFLD for about 5 days to help out with the flooding. This is my first tasking with the Red Cross Emergency Response Team so I hope to be up to the task. Apparently I will be based out of the armouries but I am not sure how much computer access I can count on.
This could have come at a better time. LC and I were going to host a small dinner party on saturday night, unfortunately natural disasters don't seem to be paying attention to my social calender. I will try to post if possible but I have no idea what the accomodations will be like.
So I will be back ina week to continue the Pirates vs. Ninja debate and hopefully have some pictures of volunteers doing good deeds. Cheers.
