the night i sang karaoke WHAT! WHAT!

it was kyle's birthday, so we went out to "the pit" which ill describe later fully. this isnt his actual smile hahha, we both did faces.. my clearly is the best, but i was passing his birthday drink to him. when youre in dawson and its your birthday you get free drinks from all the bars.

this is keirston his sister singing. shes actually good, she went up a few times. i didnt get a picture of all of us up there which is a shame. but yea.

enjoying some yukon gold. at the midnight sun bar and hotel

me and shelly

ok, so this is "this pit" which basically describes the bar itself. there is christmas lights up year round, and its just a really grungy bar. but its fantastic because of those reasons.

the night i sang.. was an epic night. my first time singing so of course i had to sing the only song i would sing karaoke to: journey - dont stop believin'

a failed attempted up the dome....

this was the fox that we seen once we gave up and started heading down. it was so skinny i dont know how it was still alive!?

the champion celebatory drink. even though we only completed about 1/4's way up...

yeaaa son!

copying kyle. failed, but good attempt.

the view when the sun cleared up for about 5mins. it was so hot and humid.

so long story short, for the first day of summer dawson has this massive party on top of the dome, which is a mountain with a landslide. anyways it quite the hike up and ive never done it before so i thought the party was a great chance to start. it almost killed me. i was so out of breathe and hot that i thought i was going to go into cardiac arrest! the group that we started walking up with actually just left us because we were so slow, which made me mad because we didnt know the way up. so i decided to lead our group of michelle, kyle and myself. team of champions. man i was on a role, i was just motoring up the hill. taking one for the team and breaking spider webs with my face, walking right through puddles soaking my feet. at that point i just didnt care, i was soaked anyways from the pouring rain haha. all in all it was goodtimes, even though we took the wrong trails and didnt make it up the dome anyways haha.

update: i need a pedi

My feet have been hurting so bad, so I decided to shave my feet and give myself a self pedicure. There was like chalky feet dust everywhere. I probably took a good layer off my feet, Ill be able to feel a feather now. Hopefully my feet wont stink as much, its crazy because I change my socks AND wash my shoes everytime I do laundry. I have a problem.

So I had a moment of weakness today while making beds. I stopped half way through and actually thought about just leaving the hotel ahha. I am so sick of making beds and cleaning dirty bathrooms! I swear Im coming home with deformed feet, back problems and my wrists are probably gunna be curled in; I actually caught myself with my wrists curled in at lunch last week. My god. The work is terrible, plus working 2 jobs, I never have time off. Also, I called in sick today because I didnt want to go into my other job, so I went out for supper haha and pretty sure I saw my boss at the table behind me. Oh well what can you do right? But I wont get into that now.

The Simple Pleasures in House Keeping

1. walking into a room and finding the only ONE of the two beds have been used - meaning you only have to make ONE bed


2. walking into a room and finding that yes, both beds have been used.. BUT! the hospital edges of the bed are still in tact from the day before so you dont have to fully make both beds


3. as youre cleaning a room you walk into the bathroom and find that the tub is dry as a bone, YES!


4. as youre cleaning the bathroom there is no HAIR or SOAP SCUM in the tub - meaning it will only take you about a minute to clean the tub instead of 5


5. another bathroom one, you walk into the bathroom and find the toilet seat is down... this usually means "something" is being hidden.. but instead nothing is in there thank god and it was just down for the heck of it


6. there are no tooth paste spit clumps in or around the sink


7. you dont have to vaccume a room, there are really no fluffs on the floor and you can just pick up the little ones that are


8. the remaining toe nail clippings that mr.smith left on the floor, that are astonishingly long, are only in one spot on the floor.. instead of skattered here and there


9. you have 11 check out rooms to do and some amazing soul has made some of your beds for you <3


10. there are no tooth paste of soap spots on the mirror, infact you dont even have to wipe it!

12. theres a managable amount of hair on the bathroom floor


13. theres no poo crusties on the toilet bowl? god acid doesnt even take that off!


14. they havent touched the coffee pot of coffee supplies, so you dont need to restock them


15. one of the cups havent been used


16. their toiletries such as the shampoo soap and conditioner (amoung other things) havent been touched in the stupid get up we have to put them in. therefore you dont have to do them up all fancy again


17. while cleaning the tub there are no bar soap rings on the edges, ugh


18. theres a tip, even if its in american $


19. survivor man is on. (i watch it while cleaning my rooms lol)


20. there are still towels hanging up, meaning you dont have to restock them


21. better yet! they are RE-USING all their towels! wooo!


22. there isnt a lot of garbage, so you can just dump it into one bin


23. fruit has been left behind for you to eat or basically any food in general really is fair game


24. packets of sugar havent been dumped on the table for the heck of it


25. a pile of clothes is on one of the beds so you have an excuse not to make that one


26. there arent any stains on the sheets so you dont have to hunt for new ones for the same person during a stay


27. people dont want their rooms done and only ask for coffee or new towles


28. you dont have to clean a crappy toilet.. litterally

The 2 Hour Cake...

This is me preparing my cake. As you can see I have everything I should of used sitting infront of me.
The cake all mixed in together ready to go into the oven, with all the ingrediants I thought.

basically what it turned out to look like....

I didnt put the oil in the cake.. even though I had it sitting out infront of as you can see in the first picture. So the cake was like an oatmeal texture... but you know I still ate that and put icing on it. I just cut out the bad parts. I want to get more cake mix tonight so I can make a good one this time and REMEMBER to out in the oil. JEEESH!

introducing Foo Foo. a.k.a - Gator.

So this is the dog I have been going on and on about. His name is Foo Foo, I dont think Im spelling it right because its french for "crazy crazy" I was told by Claud the owner. Before I knew what his name meant, I started calling him Gator because I thought Foo Foo was too feminine haha. But now, his biological name totaly suits him, he is a crazy dog but he is the best dog ever. Hes awesome on a leash, never barks.. doesnt go after other dogs and listens! If I could take him home I totally would. I love this dog hes so cute!

At the river, people were on boats so we was watching them go by.

Chomping at the water, he LOVES the water.. unlike my dogs back home - Meeko and Sara! I would let him off the leash but I still dont know what he would do.. swim away? Run away? Who knows.. so I dont try yet.

Cutest picture ever! There was a stick floating by and went after it, but the water was moving too quickly so he couldnt get it. He is still shedding his winter coat so thats whay he looks all uneven and sickly haha.

Probably my favourite picture of him so far. He is such a curious dog!

Walking up to me, after I took this he shook so all his gross dog wetness and smell got on me.

Relay For Life

This was one of the kids I gave money to for him to shave his head. He got a buzz cut at first and then the lady asked if he wanted to go shorter, so he did, and after he couldnt stop feeling his head. He kept saying "I never felt so FREE!" haha. Where his hair used to be was just white too! Haha

The cow bell people would ring when one of your teammates would pass by the team tables.

Reppin' the relay for life shirt. WHATS UP!? Yeaaaahhh boiiiiii !!!

A lovely shot of the scenery we have to look at during our walk and a glimps of how the light was shinning through the clouds.
Me and Sheller.. we started off strong and walking together but then we got tired and took turns of walking. Oh well, what can you do.

Our team name and the time slots of all us walkers on our team. We got nuggets of GOLD!

I participated in a relay for life the other day, it was a pretty cool experience. Cant say that i loved walking in a circle for an hour... but there was activities and free food so it was fun. I donated money and then some people got their heads shaved.. brave souls.

It was a big turn out I guess (for Dawson) and they had a bbq with some live bands and random people would go up and sing, that was pretty entertaining to watch lol. They could of had a better lay out for the walking path though, because you walked in this circle that was way to small for a track haha.. so things got pretty repetitive fast.

It started at noon and then ended at midnight, so it wasnt like the ones back home where it goes through the night, I guess this one was more family friendly. My walking time as it will show in the picture was at 5pm.. just in time too because when i finished walking at 6pm the bbq

started, and oh my god was that delicious!
