Ants again

Well... I know I haven't been posting much lately, but it's been so busy. And really, this post is only because my older brother was at my house yesterday nagging me to publish something on my blog. "Some people still read it," he said sarcastically.
I've been living in Lethbridge for 3 months now. It feels so short and so long. I'm kind of discouraged because I was planning on going to school here... but now I'm not going for at least another year, and I will be working full-time at Subway. Aaagh. Not that it's such a bad job, it's just hot and sweaty and I come home smelling like subs... and when people ask where I work, I have to be truthful and say "Subway" and it's kind of humiliating. Well, that's enough of that.
I have to tell you about the ants. I posted a bit ago about the flood in my basement. Well, if that wasn't traumatic enough... it seems that when we ripped up the carpet in my room we also opened up an anthole. When I got back from my sister's wedding I noticed a few little ants crawling around in my house. I can deal with that, I thought. The ants were really tiny - no big deal, right? That was until last weekend when I was sitting at my computer, and, no joke, there were at least 50 ants crawling around my chair. I kind of spased and then vacuumed them up. I thought they were coming in my window so I closed it... but then, an hour later, there were still ants all over my bedroom floor. They were marching in a little line out of a hole in the carpet. I spased again, got out the vacuum cleaner, and then laid down ant poison all along my wall, under the carpet.
Now the ants are dead.
It makes me happy.
And that is the story of the ants. This summer has been crazy for ant problems. They are still really bad outside, along the side door. Those are the big ants, but those ones don't seem to want to come inside anymore, which is nice. One less ant problem to worry about.
And no, I haven't seen Ant Bully yet. And I don't plan to. I don't need to have nightmares about the ants' revenge on me.

little bits of news

The last two weeks of my life have been busier than the past six months combined! Well, maybe not quite, but they certainly have been eventful. Last Thursday my family and I flew out to Victoria to go to my sister's wedding. It was a pretty busy weekend but a really wonderful time. I think I got a lot of issues in my life figured out while I was there, which is what I was hoping to accomplish. Talking with my sister usually helps. We are more alike than I want to admit. I don't have pics of the wedding yet, but they will be coming soon and I will post some here. It was a gorgeous day, and the location on top of the mountain was just beautiful. Now I have to come up with a better place for my wedding! It would just be too normal and boring to have it inside a church after the stunning mountaintop view that Marie had.
And in other news... I've started my new job at Subway, and it's working out OK. I still work at Bluenotes, so that breaks up the monotony a bit. This next week will probably be pretty busy again, but I have today off at least and hopefully will get a little bit of baking done.
