The great WET north

Hello from the rainy north.....well, it hasn't been THAT bad but it seems to me that the forecast is always calling for some kind of a thunderstorm. The rain here is actually so cool because when it thunders you can feel it vibrate the entire building. We actually had hail the other day, which was pretty scary since it was right around dinner time when the boys were coming off the water- luckily everyone made it home safe and sound :)

The last few days have been a bit of a challenge for me, I find myself in a bit of the "mid summer rut." AKA: i'm just cranky sometimes. The guests we have here right now are AMAZING though and whenever i'm in a bad mood I just walk out into the dining room and they make me laugh. They are all such great people, its fun to be around them- they always put me in a better mood! Working in the kitchen is also so much fun- the girls that I spend 24/7 with are hilarious and always making me laugh. This morning at 7am I was in tears over a conversation about oatmeal.....it just goes to show how its the little things in life that matter :)

The cook sherry is absolutely hilarious as well. Today I was doing dishes (as per usual) and I asked her about her turkey brine. (ps. mom- i'm on turkey duty this Christmas- it'll blow your mind how delish this is) She was explaining it to me and I went to dump out a pot that was soaking, and she SHRIEKED at me (like nothing I've ever heard before) and it scared me half to death I just looked at her like omg, whats going on. Turns out, the pot was not soaking it was her turkey brine cooling near the sink and she thought I was being a jackass by dumping it out. Writing this out it sounds like you had to be there for it to be funny but it was actually hilarious, I really laughed a lot. Just goes to show that you can have fun while working!!! lol.

Tonight was steak night and it was unreal. Just a usual Friday night. I was planning on going berry picking, but as the title of this blog states, its raining. I'm surprised the satellite Internet is still working. I guess I am just lucky.

I am going to head upstairs and take a shower now and probably watch a movie before bed. OHH The purpose of this blog was to inform everyone that I BOOKED MY FLIGHT HOME (yay) It will be on August 19th at 12:30pm which means I will be arriving in Toronto at 2:30pm!! Its a thursday and I will be home for exactly 7 days! I have a TONNE to organize before I get myself packed up and ready to go on the 26th but it'll be TOTALLY WORTH IT! I am so excited for what September has in store, I just cant wait to get there :) :) :)
