The Tarot

So if any of you can remember waaaay back, while I was in Argentina I had my tarot read by some funky lady in an artisan market. She said a few things that seem to be coming true. One was that I would get into an arguement with my brother. This seemed very strange, as my brother and I have never fought. Ever. But we did come as close to an arguement as I think we ever will, not long after I got home. She also said, several times, that there was money in my future. Just imagine how happy I was to hear that!!! Well, in a way that is coming true as well. I have been working nearly everyday at school and am back at Cow Bay Cafe starting this weekend. Changes in the pay scale for teachers here will hopefully mean I will be making more money, the more I work. So I am very happy about all of that. My debt is looming over me and I can't wait to slap a big chunk of change on the ol visa. HA! I'll show you pay back!!!

Life has also included working outside to get things ready for summer time. Winter is very slowly loosening its grip on Rupert. Still on the weight watchers wagon(WWW) and have been relatively successful at that so far. Pat on the back for me! Got to see my niece recieve the sportsmanship award of the year for her skating club. Very proud of her, as it was the last and most important award of the night. I shall quote her..."It's not important if you win, just as long as you have fun." Well said! So smart and she is only 9 years old. We can learn so much from the little people around us. Have also enjoyed being around my nephews again too. They are growing so fast and can speak much more than before. They are so different, and a joy to get to know.

There never seems to be enough time in the day, but I have managed to enjoy the company of my friends over dinner, drinks, coffee at Cowpaccinos, etc. Since coming home I am without cable or tv of any sort. It is a whole new world and I love it. I am definately one of those people that can get sucked into the television for hours. Without it, I am free! Free at last! I have found I get so much done, and am so much more productive. Of course being away travelling and never watching tv helped make it much easier to come home to. Feel like I am a slightly better human being now that I can say "Sorry I dont watch tv."

Mucho appreciation for the suggestions, and web links sent to me about overseas work. Have done a bit of research, and there is so much out there. Very daunting. A small part of me is also considering going back to school, but I haven't really thought too much about it. We shall see what happens in the next few months. Keep your ideas coming!

So that is all for now. Thinking of all you spread around the world. Continue your adventures. It's all about having fun!!
Cheers
