I Said No Pictures!

Have you ever heard of the saying, "Dogs have owners, cats have staff"? I think this applies in our case! Steven & I have always known that our cat Minou, was a diva...but this picture proves it!
Some of her other diva-like behavior includes:
-Drinking her water out of her dish with her paw
-Sleeping on her giant pillow under the kitchen table all day
-Making sure Finn isn't around if she wants to cuddle with us
-No toy will do, she only enjoys playing with candy bar wrappers

We also have Finn (or Finnigan when he is in trouble) the other man of the house. We think that he's part dog, because when we give him toys, he rips them to shreds by chewing on them. He also enjoys the candy wrappers...preferrably the Hershey Kisses kind. He's not really picky, but Minou is teaching him how to drink his water with his paw, among other things. Finn also enjoys playing in the toilet, especially if there's toilet paper around. We'll walk in the bathroom to find artwork on the walls (he must take after Steve).

That' s all for now....click here to see some more cat footage. Enjoy!

What's New?!?

A lot has happened over the last few weeks! CIBC Wood Gundy offered me the full-time Sales Assistant position, and I will start on June 1. I'm very excited about the job as it is something totally different than what I am used to doing.

Steven is away for the next month or so at work, so it's just me & the cats again! Last week we took the RV up to Nisku (by Edmonton) because he had to take some courses for work, so we were able to do a little bit of camping. I then went on to Caroline and was able to go up in a plane and see the results of the Burnstick Lake fire. Mom, Reg & Brayden almost had to leave because of a 1 hour evacuation notice, as their house is very close to that area.

Came home on Friday with Mom & Brayden to even more scorching weather...not complaining though, I love it! On Sunday we met John, Shauneen & the boys at Echodale park for a BBQ and bocce. Later that evening, mom & I played Name That Tune at one of the pubs with John & Shauneen and we won a $50 gift certificate to use at the pub. There were 30 songs to name & we had 29 right. Lots of fun had by all....and we were able to see the Oilers win....woohoo!

Camping in Style!

Steven & I bought a schmancy new (not really.it's a '93) 5th wheel last week! It's mostly for when he's away at work, so he doesn't have to stay in smelly motels. Good news though...the company he works for signed a contract to keep them working for the next few years. I'll post pics of it later.

I had a "pre-screening" interview on the phone today for a Sales Assistant job at CIBC Wood Gundy which went well...I have a formal interview on May 9. I would be assisting Investment Advisors with everything adminstrative, plus provide investment info to clients. It would be a new experience, I've never thought of this industry until lately...fingers crossed!

More Later!
