So, the weirdest thing ever happened yesterday at work.

Background Information: My boss, Blair, rents out the 2nd floor of the store as an apartment to a lady.

Okay, so I'm hanging out at the front cash because I'm booooored out of my mind. And this police officer walks in. I'm a little surprised, but we get them in sometimes to buy stuff.
Anyway, he asks me if I know how to get into the apartment upstairs. I wasn't sure, so I go looking for Blair to ask him. Of course, he's nowhere to be found. I tell the officer that there is a door on the side that might be the way in. Just as he goes to leave, Blair comes down and tells the officer, that yes, that is the way up, but tells him that there is no one home.
The officer then tells us that he just got a 911 call from there o_o
So they go outside. I go back up front.
Another officer comes in asking if someone had come in, and I tell him yes and he goes to the side too. They all go upstairs, and I can hear them walking around for a little while. Then they come back down and the officers go to hang out on the roadside.
I go ask Blair if anyone was home...He says no.
So I'm like....How could they get a 911 call if NO ONE WAS HOME!?!!?!
wtf.

So that was interesting...

Anyway, then Mum, Bonnie (friend), and Uta (student/mum's coworker), and I went out to dinner at The Garden of Eat'n. The food was pretty good but it took foreveerrrrr!!!!! I also saw Nicole from art/philosophy class which was odd o_0

And then I had work all day today too. It actually was busier than I expected but no one came in for the last hour. Nobody. At all. It was completely dead.

And I finished watching BBC's 2005 Bleak House miniseries!
It was excellent! I love all the characters! Well, the loveable ones anyway. They guy who played Taulkinghorn was excellent; I hated him very much.

Oh, and it's randomly extremely hot and humid here and I am dieing.

On Friday evening, after work, Alisha came to pick me up and take me to her house for a sleepover. It's her birthday next Friday (the 24th), so we're celebrating. She's going to be away for her actual birthday.

Anyway, at Alisha's house Kaitlyn and Tanicia were waiting downstairs. We spent the night inside, eating pizza, drinking Pepsi, and watching Disney movies. We were going to go to the South Mountain Fair, but decided to go on Saturday instead because of the rain.

Finally, we decided to go to bed, because I had to work the next morning. We were sleeping outside Alisha's door in a tent. We brought out 7 blankets and 2 mattresses. Turns out 7 blankets was definitely NOT enough to keep us warm in the rain, wind, and 10 degree weather. SO COLD. We all nearly froze to death that night!

So at 7 am the next morning we all ran inside to be warm. Ahhhh, so nice! I got ready for work and ate a grilled cheese for breakfast. Then Alisha's dad drove me to work.

Work was pretty boring, but James makes it fun. It's been slower, now that the construction is right on our doorstep.

After work, I went home and Alisha picked me up at 6. We ate supper at her house (pork shishkabobs) and then her dad drove us to South Mountain for the fair. The fair was pretty fun, but the rides were a little disturbing. We went on one that spins you around so fast that you are pushed against the back (you know, that one...) and I was concerned by the fact that the ride was MADE FROM WOOD. It was old school. Tanicia and I also went into a fun house, where you had to make your way through a maze of mirrors and glass. So confusing! We were led by some little kid; it was pretty funny. And of course, we went on the Scrambler. Kaitlyn didn't go on ANY rides because she's weird like that. Oh, and we tried to get on the merry-go-round, but apparently we were too old :(

AND I ATE A FRIED MARS BAR. OMG. It was funny, it had a little arm of batter sticking out, and Kaitlyn was like, "If there are organs inside, don't eat it." and the guy running the stand was like, "Yeah, that was taking it a bit too far." XD! Anyway, it wasn't very good because it was basically just melted chocolate in dough AKA heart attack on a stick. But I've satisfied my curiosity.

And then we discovered the games. And Kaitlyn, being crazy and the Master Marksman, went obsessive with the pellet gun game and didn't stop until she won a big green dinosaur. I played twice and won a smaller purple dinosaur. I also won a little kangaroo, but I gave it to Tanicia. Yay, I shot a (fake) gun :D!

So that was fun. And we brought out 11 blankets for our second night outside and that was much better.

Sunday at work was sooo boring. Blair doesn't even bother coming in because it's that slow and I guess he trusts us to run the store. We made like 500$ that day (very sad).

Anyway, I was supposed to work 11-2 today, but I felt like complete crap when I came in and Robin and James yelled at me until I agreed to go home. I felt kind of bad about not working, especially since it was the last time I would see James (I LOVE YOU JAMES!!!! XD), but I went home and slept and I feel much better now.

I watched some episodes of BBC's Bleak House today. I like it a lot! Excellent acting for an excellent story.

So that's pretty much what I've been up to lately. I'm excited for school to start, which is September 4th. I am so bored and I can't wait to be a Senior!

Holding true to my usual luck cycle, I may have a job at the hardware store!
It would be really nice that at least I get a job for having no more dog. Which probably sounds cynical, but that's just how my luck seems to go. Bad luck, good luck, bad luck, good luck...

Anyway, apparently Blair (Mary Jane's fiance) thought I was good, but they really need someone for Saturday mornings. So I wrote an email explaining that I would only be busy on Saturdays until May 26th and that its because I'm taking Japanese. Crossing fingers again for luck!

Last night, Mum, Steve (the guy mum went to Ottawa for a while back. how i know him is sort of long and complicated.), and I went out to supper at The Branch, the restaurant that used to be Amanda's Slip. It's actually kind of neat, because it was called Amanda's Slip for the ship yard that used to be there and now it's called the Branch because that is what Kemptville used to be called. Way back when.
Anyway, I ordered "meat on a stick", which was beef (on a stick) with Korean BBQ sauce, a fried udon cake-thing, and some asian pickles. Which were gross, but I don't like pickles anyway.
And I got rootbeer which was really neat, because it was clear. Like sprite or something. It was really strange, but tasted just like rootbeer!
And I also tried a mushroom and tofu for the first time!
And this crazy apple pie that had sharp cheddar cheese and waaayy too much ginger in it. I couldn't even finish it.

So that was fun!
