I am almost done my Bookkeeping and Accounting course! It's the first course in my Small Business Management program at Red River College here in Manitoba. I finished my final project on Tuesday and mailed it out to my professor that evening. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life. It's basically all math, and I am terrible at math. I managed to get through it though, with Jeff's encouragement. Now the only thing I have left is the exam which is next Friday. I am nervous of course, but mostly because I've never been to the campus since I am taking my courses through correspondence and I am afraid I will get lost in the school or something! I don't think I will though because Jeff and I are going on Saturday to check the school out and find the room that the exam is being held in. I'm excited! The next course I am going to take I think is Web Site Development. I have to take 6 courses in the program and I have 8 years to finish them, so I'm not really in that big of a hurry. I like how I am able to be flexible with my time and still get a degree in something that will help me further down the road when I start my at-home dog grooming business. I am really excited to start that because everyone is supposed to enjoy what they do professionally and I know what I will just LOVE that!
Other than that, nothing else has really been going on. Jeff is working the lights for the town play for the next 3 nights so I am here with Dixie and Sampras. It's pretty boring. I am going to the play tomorrow night to watch it. It's supposed to be really funny, plus it's a dinner theatre so you get a meal served to you while you watch the play. The food better be good for $35, that's all I have to say about that haha! I've heard it's supposed to be really good, so I'm looking forward to it.
On a final note... CHRISTMAS IS IN 36 DAYS!!! Also, I am going home exactly one month from today. I am so excited! I find that I am writing how excited I am in each blog post lol. Oh well... CHRISTMAS!! I'm a little obsessed hee hee.
Goodnight all!

♫ Don't Rock The Jukebox, I Wanna Hear Some Jones! ♪
Haha, the title of this blog is the name of the song that just came on lol. It's by Alan Jackson. I found this free online radio on Shoutcast called 181.FM 90's Country and I am obsessed with it! 90's country was so much better than todays country, well aside from Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley *swoon*.
Jeff is at band practice and badminton tonight. I was working on my final project for school, but I decided to take a break from it. I went through it and kind of realized that it's not as big as I thought it would be. I just tend to make a big deal over things that are important to me and I get all worried and freaked out. I think I'll be okay though, I'm pretty sure. Hopefully, haha.
Remembrance Day is tomorrow. I always get really emotional on that day because my Great-Poppy Daley was a prisoner of war in WWII and both my grandfathers were in the navy. Also, my Aunt Anita is in the army. My family has a lot of military background. I am going to watch the memorial service on CBC tomorrow and have a moment of silence. You all should too!
I've started back up with my 10-Minute Trainer again. Jeff bought it for me a while back but I never really got into it though. I need to use it more often though, I am out of shape! I have started to use it every single day and it really is a good workout. Like, I am sweating so bad when I'm done and I'm like "WATER... NEED WATER!!" There are 5 different sessions that you can do: cardio, lower body, total body, abs, and yoga flex. A schedule came with the kit so that I know which session to do on which day. The kit also came with a bunch of other neat things like a resistance band with handles, a measuring tape to measure problem areas before and after, a proper eating book, and lots of other cool things. I highly recommend it. Jeff bought it off the infomercial and paid over $100 American for it, but after that (unfortunately) we found out that Wal-Mart sells it for about $50.
Christmas is in 45 days and I'm coming home in 40 days!! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!! In case you can't tell, I'm VERY excited hee hee. If my sisters are reading this, you better get your asses ready for Ashley's Christmas Eve Slumber Party '09, it's gonna be great!
I better get going, Jeff is going to be home soon. Bye!

Bored...
I'm so bored right now. Jeff has been at the town play practice since 5:00pm and it's now 10:04pm. He's not acting or anything, he's running the lights. He says its really cool. So while he's out doing that, I'm sitting here at home with Dixie and Sampras, listening to a 90's country radio station I found online. "Don't Rock The Jukebox" by Alan Jackson is playing right now.
Wow, I just read back I wrote in that first paragraph and holy crap I sound like the blandest person on earth!
On to something more interesting. I'm coming home in 42 days!! AND... CHRISTMAS IS IN 47 DAYS!!!! Obviously I'm extremely excited. We bought our tickets and everything is a go. We are going home on December 19th and coming back to Manitoba on January 3rd. We even went out and bought Dixie a new carrier for the plane. Her old one is kind ruined since she saw my mom last summer and busted right through it to get to her lol. This new one seems to be more sturdier. Hopefully.
Okay Jeff just came home, so I'm going to cut this one short.
Bye!

Halloween Is Over... 53 Days Til CHRISTMAS!!
First off, how awesome is this kick-ass Rudolph template?! As soon as I saw it I was like "That is the most awesome think I have seen in a long time, I must have it!" Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is my all time favourite Christmas special. I am so obsessed with it that I watch it all year round, and seeing as how Christmas is only 53 days away, I decided to put this template up to celebrate the upcoming holidays. Christmas = my one true love!
However, last night was Halloween so I suppose I should talk about that. Jeff's friend Adam is here for the weekend from Ontario and we all went to a Halloween party at a friends house here in town. I dressed up as a witch, Jeff was a mad scientist, and Adam was a pirate. The party was really fun. I just wish I wasn't so tired. I have been diagnosed with having really low iron which makes me tired all the time and I am on a prescription for it, but I don't think it's working because I am still exhausted all the time. We won the best carved pumpkin contest though. Jeff carved the Headless Horseman's face into the pumpkin. It looked really awesome. Overall it was a really great night.
Jeff and Adam have been playing some X-Men game on X-Box for like 6 hours now! I don't know how they can play a video game for that long, I know I couldn't. Whatever though, it's keeping them out of my way while I make dinner. I'm making a whole roasted chicken with Swiss Chalet sauce, French fries, and corn. I love my roasted chicken, it's my most favourite thing that I make for dinner. I actually have to go check on it now though. Bye for now!
