It's just really good to be with my family, close and extended. Yesterday I was driving around with my three sisters and it was just so nice to BE with them. These are three young women that I grew up with and love - and I will love them forever and we will always be connected simply by the fact that we are sisters. I like them a lot. And they make me laugh.
Another Story.
Today I was driving to my Cousins' home on the outskirts clinton - because I told them I would babysit for the day and when I was about a km away I noticed smoke coming from their property. SO I say to myself "I am not going to take care of their garbage burning for them etc etc." (Because ppl burn their garbage here insted of bringing it to the dump) And then when I got closer I realized their BARN was on fire. It's totally gone now. It's smouldering as I write this. Big excitment though.

Surgery Update
After a long and grueling surgery, Cheyenne - against all odds- is recuperating from her life-threatening injuries. Doctors have a good prognosis for her. The older wisened one compared her to "an old man... ya know, she could have a heart attack at any time eh?" And the younger encouraging doctor said "She's a good little thing. She should be fine"
Cheyenne is resting right now and slowly exercising around Huron County. Its been a rough week for her - first the surgery then extended periods of time with my sister Bethany who is learning (very roughly) to drive standard. Cheyenne - like my Dr. Quinn friends for whom she is named, will prevail... oh wait I forgot Wachita - they all got massacrred - except Cloud Dancing. Maybe I'll have a new naming cemony if she makes it across Canada and re-name her after our friend the wise medicine man.

This is a little prayer request for all of you out there. Many of you know Cheyenne, and many of you have just heard me talk about Cheyenne very often. I love Cheyenne alot and it has been a very distressing week because Cheyenne is going in for major surgery on Monday morning. She already had an ambulance ride from Embro Ontario after she fainted out of the blue and I am very worried about her. Especially that she may possibly not be able to go to British Columbia with me. I'm very sad, and very worried.

Cheyenne
Reporting live from Clinton for WXRP News in Clinton.
Yesterday, found in the basement bowels of an aging chicken barn on London Road, a car was discovered by world traveller Nikki Gerrits. After a long and harrowing search around Huron County a black 1995 Plymouth Neon was discovered on the property belonging to a H. Gerrits. Sources report that the discover-er and the land owner are indeed related. Beneath a thick layer of chicken-dust the car emerged as beautiful and glorious as it originally was made to be. With no brake or clutch problems after a ten month hibernation, Cheyenne, as the car is affectionatley known as, has once again brought much joy to her owner.

I'm a JERK
Tonight Esther and I rented a movie that we both were excited to see. "The New World" Its a historical romance about Pochohontohoas (Does anyone know how to spell her name properly?) Anyways it was HORRIBLE. We watched 20 minutes and were bored out of our mind and so I thought that we should bring it back to Blockbuster and get a different movie in exchange. Heres what 'went down' as they say.
I walked into the Blockbuster and asked the cashier,
"Hey! Do you still have that program where if you rent a really bad movie you can exchange it for a better one?"
"Nope," he responded, "Not for a long time. If we did that people would be cheating us."
"What would you say if I told you that I rented this movie and that it is REALLY bad?"
"I'd have to say 'too bad'" he said looking me straight in the eye, I responded tartly,
"Then I'd have to say 'do you have a customer comment card?'"
I'm a jerk. I threatened the poor guy with a CUSTOMER COMMENT CARD because I was an idiot and rented a bad movie! But wait, the story gets better. He eventually lets me exchange my movie. I choose a new one and go to the counter. He asks for my Blockbuster card. (I don't have one) He says I can give him my drivers liscence (I don't have it on me) I offer him my health card - but it is one of the old school ones from the 1980's with the red stripe and no picture so it is no good either. Finally I offer him my (expired in April 2005) student card. Luckily he doesn't see that it is expired.
I'm a big jerk.
