Get ready for me, 2007. There's a storm coming!

So I saw this awesome movie on Friday night. It's called "Night at the Museum" and it stars Ben Stiller and Robin Williams. Ben's character Larry makes a threat to a Kapuchin monkey named Dexter: "There's a storm coming, my friend. A storm is coming." I think I'm going to use that threat for the new year. I'm the storm, and I can't be stopped.
Hopefully that analogy will work out!
Tonight I'm heading to my friend Yafit's house for an awesome New Year's Eve shindiggery-do, where there will be much craziness and many good times.
Earlier today my mom and I went to Canadian Tire and got all the supplies we need to paint the bathroom that Sarah and I share. I didn't actually think that we would get it done while Sarah was away, but apparently we're on the ball. I'm pretty excited.

Anyways, to all my family and friends, have a Happy, Healthy New Year!

What a week!

Wow, what a week I've had!!! After much preparation and cleaning of the house, Mom, Sarah and I had a lovely party on December 9th. We called it a New Beginning Party and a lot of people came. I got a little tipsy, but nothing I couldn't handle :P
Since the party things have been pretty relaxed in our house. We've been working on cleaning and purging the house of all the junk and garbage that Ralph had let pile up over the years, and it's going very well. Mom can even park the car in the garage! Amazing! We've been piling up a lot of garbage and it feels like such a waste to me, but there's nothing we can do about that.
The weather has been perfect for cleaning the garage, though, and I think we can look forward to a very green Christmas.
More updates to come!

A New Beginning

Wow, it's been quite a while since my last post! I have a good excuse, though; I've been without internet in my house for almost a week. On Saturday when the Rogers Home Phone guy came to switch over our landline, he said he could install our Rogers Highspeed Internet, too. So he did, but everyone who was hooked up with highspeed in our area on Saturday haven't been connected yet. So that sucks, but whatever.
Anyways, my Dad has FINALLY MOVED OUT WOOHOO!!! His stuff isn't completely gone, but a lot of it is and that's amazing. He still has to clear the rest of the garage out, and he has until Friday so if he doesn't get it all out we're calling the dumpster guys so they can come load the rest of his junk into the trash.
Things have changed so much since he left; our house has a more positive feel. We're cooking again, Sarah is back in her bedroom and Mom is back in the master bedroom, albeit in almost minimal surroundings, but it's slowly getting back to normal.
Saturday night we're having a party at my place, so any of my friends reading this are most welcome to attend. It's a new beginning party, and you can bring whatever you want to drink, or finger food, or dessert. And dress for photos, please.
Woohoo! My life is finally beginning.
