you take dolla'?

Today I conducted a garage sale. I made over $100 off of my old crap that I never use/wear in a couple hours, so I am rather pleased.
In other news:
Whitehorse was oodles of fun.
Other than that, all I do is eat, sleep and work.

oooo canada

I've managed to maneuver my work schedule to allow for me to go to Whitehorse, Canada this weekend for a softball tournament. I leave this evening at 5 pm and return sometime Sunday evening. I don't know where I'm staying, who I'm staying with, where we're playing, who we're playing, or any of that. I barely even know HOW to play slowpitch softball. Karen Krupa called me at the last minute (Tuesday) to see if I could play 1st base for her team. I'm not sure how well I'll fit in though. The people going are all 19 and over, while I'm at 17. As you may know, the drinking age in Canada is 19. Many individuals report that the bulk of the entertainment is indeed drinking. So, I have myself a book from the library, a cd player, some paper and a pen, and my own company. It will be nice to leave Sitka, pause working, and hopefully have some fun.

mexi-nuggets

Since pretty much all I do is work, that's what I'm going to write about. If you don't like it, press the green "Back" arrow-button, or click on the red "x" button in the top right hand corner. But probably, even if you don't want to hear what I have to say, you're so bored that it doesn't matter anymore, so you'll just put up with the nonsense.
Anyway, Leah has officially proclaimed the Mexican Machines to be the "Mexi-Nuggets." Haha. Its great because we can call them that and talk about them right in front of their faces because they can't understand us. Well, except for one girl, "Ale." -Its pronounced, all-ay. She can understand and speak English quite well. And she usually translates everything (good and bad) back to her mother. To prevent being narked on, Leah and I have developed a jibberish talk. We make excessive sounds between words so that she can't understand us.
Though we can't understand when THEY'RE talking about US, we have learned a few lines of our own:
Mis patagonas son grande. -My boobs are big.
Colita/Cola = Ass/Butt/Tale
Well, it looks like its time for another 12-hour work day. Adiós.
