Okay, it seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY pisses me off when people exclude Jesus Christ from the Christmas Celebrations. He is the very reason for the holiday, if Jesus had not been born, there would be no Christmas people...think about it. It frustrates me beyond all reason when people try telling me that I cannot wish people a merry Christmas, instead I must say "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons greetings" IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
Background story to this rant: We had our Christmas concert at work last week, and we were closing it by singing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and a woman that I work with decided that we needed to be politically correct and change the words to "We wish you a festive holiday" I flipped to say the least...I told her in no uncertain terms, that is is CHRISTMAS and I would refuse to be any part of this concert if they excluded that fact!
Come on now, we don't go around changing the name of any other religious celebration...it is still Kwanza, Ramadan, Yom Kippor, Dawali...so...
KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS PLEASE

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A, Oklahoma, OK
Last Sunday, December 4, I had the special honour of going and seeing my good friend Nathan Carroll in the musical "Oklahoma" Now, I have never seen this musical before, lets face it, until now, I have really only ever seen one musical in my life and that was "Anne of Green Gables"
But back to "Oklahoma", for those who don't know, the basic gist of the play is that there is a girl named Laury and she has to pick between two suitors as to whom she will go to the box social with. Classic story line really. Nathan Carroll played Curly, one of the two suitors for Laury. I honestly sat there through the whole thing with a shocked suprised but very happy look on my face. He was absolutely amazing! I mean, I had heard him sing before, but that was a long long time ago. Wow, was all I could say. Nathan was definately the high-light for me in the play, but I can not mention the play without mentioning the songs that I loved the most from it...
"Oh, What a Beautiful Morning"
"The Surrey with the Fringe on Top"
"People will say we're in love"
"Oklahoma"
There were more songs of course, but these are the ones I liked the most.
The only downers for the play were the unfortunate violinist and the overly long intro music.
Overall, the play was excellent and if today was not the last day of preformances, I would definately recommend it to everyone.

And theres the rub (an update)
<---those are my kids at work, with Rita and Marlene, they ae a good group, some of the time
~I have Lipoma---what is that you ask? It is a build up of fat tissues under the skin that causes a non-cancerous lump...it will never become cancer, it is just really painful
~Graham comes home on the 17th of December!! YAY!
<---Aren't they a cute bunch of children? I think they are, I adore them, they are so much fun and even though I complain about it, it is my life.
~It has been a very odd week, I seem to be "reconnecting" with a lot of old friends this week...actually just in the last couple days...I have talked to Allan from the BL class, Elise, Dave (which was an unfortunate email that should never have been read), my friend Nick is home from Budapest for Christmas, plus all the old youth group is home for the holidays as well...it's just crazy
~Apparently I was in the free paper in the WA this past week with the conspiracy theory of the brown M&Ms
~I finished all my Christmas shopping
~I am headed to Simcoe this weekend to see Nathan Carroll (Nathan's cooler) in a musical...Oklahoma!
~I bed need now....thats not a proper english sentence...awww...screw it, I give up

What I Wish I Have Known Sooner...
...AND OTHER HELPFUL HINTS
Do not drink grape juice, while wearing a white shirt and driving in a car with my mom...it does not end pretty
Do not let your life wait for other people
Dropping your cell phone into a bathtub full of water...kinda kills the phone real quick
Your mother will find out if you dye your hair purple
You have not really lived until you get a 48% on a test
Do not ever fall in love with a person who is more than 2000 km away from you, it never usually works out
Milk crates make really neat pets
If it hurts, DO NOT DO IT AGAIN!!!
That which does not kill you, will ultimately make you stronger
Public speaking gets easier with practice
Don't sprint around the pool if you're trying to impersonate Jim from Huck Finn
10 years from now, the things we are freaking out about will make little difference
All that is gold doesn't always glisten
Zits always pop up when you really can't afford them to pop up
Always stay after class because that is when connections are made
When in doubt, duck. When certain, don't bother, cuz you are already screwed
While in a car driving through a gate, always always ALWAYS make sure that the gate is open! The consequences could be fatal for your car
If you are not living (I mean really living), you are dead already
Never pierce your belly button in the dark
Just because someone flirts with you incessantly does not necessarily mean they like you
If your teacher tells you to stop talking after a test or you will get a zero...they mean it...really
Sometimes smart people can do really really stupid things...don't judge
Being nice to people will get you far in life
The one person whom you can truly love is usually the person right in from of you and you don't even know it
Never ever EVER let a person of the opposite sex make you compromise your standards. Never
Nothing is ever too good to be true
Boys, if you starts to like a girl, her room mate will immediately start liking you
Parents aren't around forever, and you need to treasure them while they are
Never do something if the risk is greater than the reward
Think carefully before you act
Dreaming and doing go hand in hand
Life moves fast, but not so fast that you can't slow down and enjoy it
Instead of waiting for life to get better, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
You REALLY should do what needs to be done NOW, and not later. Procrastination is the easiest way, but not the most profitable
If your intuition is telling you not to do something, listen to it. Your intuition is not stupid
Cereal is a vital staple food for college students. Who cares how silly you look eating it at 8pm?
If he/she does not respect you, then he/she is not worth your time
Boys, learn to play the electric guitar...young girls really dig it
Do not juggle knives unless you are really really really good at it
If at first you don't succeed...try again, then give up. No sense being riduculous about it
Sticking things up your nose is never the smartest idea in the world
You cannot light fireworks in the basement and not get caught
Hair is flammable. VERY flammable
Never ever trust a friend with a pair of scissors next to your head, I don't care how close you are
Dying hair that is strawberry blond, strawberry blond, will turn your hair strawberry pink
Someday you will look back on everything and it will all seem funny
You never know when you are making a memory
THe heart does heal, and you will love like this again---except that when you do, you will deny that you ever felt like this before
Nothing matters if you don't have loved ones to share it with. Your siblings are very precious. If you don't know this now, you will---trust me
If you can laugh at yourself, you will be just fine
If you let others laugh with you...you will be even better
Kissing is one of the most fun things to do...dancing is almost as fun
Do not drink grape juice, while wearing a white shirt and driving in a car with my mom...it does not end pretty
Do not let your life wait for other people
Dropping your cell phone into a bathtub full of water...kinda kills the phone real quick

Another few Songs to be added to my list of favourites
Okay, so you all know that I am a huge fan of music, I love it, all different types. There have been several songs that I have heard over the past few months (especially when I seemed to be sadder than usual) that these songs seemed to be "written just for me" or "how do all these song writters know what I am thinking/feeling?" It's crazy!!! But I also like to share with my readers all the songs that I feel strongly about that they were written for me...last entry I posted "A Plain Morning" by Dashboard...honestly, when Ames played that song for me I was like..."Crap, why does this song make me think of Graham?" Oh yeah, it is a guy singing about how he had to leave his girl behind but he is coming home soon...sound familar? This time, I am posting another song that whenever I hear it (which is quite often these days) I cannot help but smile and think of a month from now when Graham comes home for Christmas :-)
Boston and St.John's
Great Big Sea
Girl, don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn
[Chorus]
It's true I must be going but I swear I won't be long
There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. John's
I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover can you love me anyway?
And if some suitor comes approaching
Will you let him through your door
And what if I return half broken
Will you still want me anymore?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Close your eyes and dream
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you want
Just tell me that you'll wait for me
[Chorus]
Boston and St.John's
Great Big Sea
Girl, don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn
[Chorus]
It's true I must be going but I swear I won't be long
There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. John's
I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover can you love me anyway?
And if some suitor comes approaching
Will you let him through your door
And what if I return half broken
Will you still want me anymore?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Close your eyes and dream
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you want
Just tell me that you'll wait for me
[Chorus]

A fantastic, super great, wonderful even SONG
I came across this song on my way home from the "WA" where I was visiting my girls, thank you to AMES for introducing it to me...it makes me sad but happy at the same time...I can not explain...just read the words, you will understand my reasons...if not, that is what the comments are for.
A Plain Morning
Dashboard Confessional
It's yet to be determined
But the air is thick
And my hope is feeling worn
I'm missing home
And I'm glad you're not a part of this
There's parts of me that will be missed
And the phone is always dead to me
So I can't tell you the temperature is dropping
And it feels like...
It's colder than it oughtta be in March
And I've still got a day or two ahead of me
Till I'll be heading home into your arms again
And the people here are asking after you
It doesn't make it easier
It doesn't make it easier to be away
I'd like to hire a plane
And see you in the morning
When the day is fresh I'm coming home again
Coming home again
Coming home again
When the day is fresh I'm coming home again
It's warmer where you're waiting
It feels more like July
There's pillows in their cases
And one of those is mine
She wrote the words I love you
And sprayed it with perfume
Its better than the fire is
To heat this lonely room
It's warmer where you're waiting
It feels more like JulyIt feels more like July
And it's yet to be determined
But the air is thick
And my hope is feeling worn
I'm missing home
And I'm glad you're not a part of this
There's parts of me that will be missed
And the phone is always dead to me
So I can't tell you the temperature is dropping
And it feels like...
It's colder than it oughtta be in March
And I've still got a day or two ahead of me
Till I'll be heading home into your arms again
And the people here are asking after you
It doesn't make it easier
It doesn't make it easier to be away
I'd like to hire a plane
And see you in the morning
When the day is fresh I'm coming home again
Coming home again
Coming home again
When the day is fresh I'm coming home again
And here is one just for you Ames, we were wondering about these lyrics...so here they are...
Amy's Song
Switchfoot
Amy's gone
And time rolls on
How far? How fast? How long?
The last time we saw Amy
She was headed for the shore
Fighting off the volitile gray skies
She said now begins forever
And that no one knows their time
We bid farewell not knowing
That might be our last goodbye
Amy was a fighter
She cut like Casius Clay
She burns like a fire
Despite these rain
Where time was a question
She knew only one song
She's singing "how far, how fast, how long?"
Salvation is a fire
In the midnight of the soul
It lights up like a can of gasoline
Yeah, she a freedom fighter
She's a stand up kind of girl
She's out to start a fire
In a bar code plastic world
When everything stops moving
And I stop to catch my breath
And ride my train of thought
All the way around
My thoughts return to Amy
And the fire she's begun
She came when we were freezing
And left us burning up

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
So, this was my "week off", notice the quotations because really, I worked everyday at the day care, but my evenings were supposed to be free, because that is what I needed, time to be by myself and just relax...and no matter what I did, something came up and I ended up out of the house almost every night...even if it was just a few minutes, and if by some chance I got to stay in, something would happen via email or MSN that stopped all relaxation and made me say "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!"
It all started this weekend, I went to hang out with Ames, which was good, because it served as my "distraction" towards missing Graham (I am sad, I know it)...and it worked for the most part, we went "shopping" even though we only got earings...then we went and got junk food for the movies that night (I only brought the best chick flicks I could find) and then we bought the drinks (which were very yummy) and then we went back to Amy's and watched the movies...and downloaded music...which we never burned...but next time. Sunday was a little harder, I tried to find it, not sure if I succeeded or not (Ames?) but it was kinda weird being at FBCG and Graham not being there...I don't know...I'm crazy though...then we went to lunch at The Mongolian Grill and I am pretty sure the waiter was hitting on Ames the whole time...it was fun, and then Super Pet and we visited Judy at her new house, which is beautiful by the way. When we got back to Guelph (because we were in Cambridge) we decided to get all our tickets booked for our fun filled trip to Ottawa next weekend...pretty sure we get into Ottawa at 2:10 in the morning...that will be fun and we are still a little worried about getting to T.O to catch the bus to Ottawa...but it will all work out, I am looking forward to the time with the girls...be prepared, I WILL NEED DISTRACTING! Euchre galore ladies
But that was all that lead up to my relax week...I knew the weekend would be crazy, so I planned to do nothing. But then, Monday was Halloween and I had to hand out candy...Tuesday was the Deacons Meeting at the church, which I am a part of and that went longer than I thought it would...and then when I finally got home, I talked to Elise for a while, which was nice because I have not talked to her in a LONG LONG time...and it was insightful, I mean, I am thrilled that she finally came to her sense and broke up with Kyle, because we all know what a loser him and his friends are...so YAY Elise, but then she told me that she is getting married to a guy named Scott...which cause the above mentioned reaction of "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Then Wednesday came around, finally a night where I just stayed home, I watched some TV for a while and then innocently checked my email...I had one from Melissa from my BL class, it informed me that on her trip to New Brunswick to visit Gerry, they got engaged, which again, the above respond was heard from me, do not get me wrong, I am thrilled for them, and I always knew deep down that they would get married, but they weren't even dating...they were together for like 2 weeks officially at school and then broke up, and now they are getting married in Simcoe on Oct 22, 2006 most likely...Then thursday was choir, which is good, I like singing, but the same day at work, I burned my arms, we are not sure how I did it, but it was some sort of chemical that spilled on my arms and burnt them...it was quite painful, so I was not too thrilled about going to choir, but decided that I should go for at least a few minutes to sing the song for Sunday...but then the choir director yelled at me for missing so much choir...grrrr...stressful I tell you. Friday was painful because of my arms, and we went out to dinner and my mom was on my case because I am the same age as my sister was when she got engaged and I am not...and it made me mad because she is always on my case...I threw a dinner roll at her...probably not the best solution but my arms hurt and I was crabby...
Then today, I went to the mall to use my birthday money from my grandparents and the place was completely decked out for Christmas...it is only the beginning of NOVEMBER!!!! Very frustrating...true, I was also at the mall to start the christmas shopping so I was not rushing at the end...but that is besides the point.
That was my week...hopefully this next one is better

Then Wednesday came around, finally a night where I just stayed home, I watched some TV for a while and then innocently checked my email...I had one from Melissa from my BL class, it informed me that on her trip to New Brunswick to visit Gerry, they got engaged, which again, the above respond was heard from me, do not get me wrong, I am thrilled for them, and I always knew deep down that they would get married, but they weren't even dating...they were together for like 2 weeks officially at school and then broke up, and now they are getting married in Simcoe on Oct 22, 2006 most likely...Then thursday was choir, which is good, I like singing, but the same day at work, I burned my arms, we are not sure how I did it, but it was some sort of chemical that spilled on my arms and burnt them...it was quite painful, so I was not too thrilled about going to choir, but decided that I should go for at least a few minutes to sing the song for Sunday...but then the choir director yelled at me for missing so much choir...grrrr...stressful I tell you. Friday was painful because of my arms, and we went out to dinner and my mom was on my case because I am the same age as my sister was when she got engaged and I am not...and it made me mad because she is always on my case...I threw a dinner roll at her...probably not the best solution but my arms hurt and I was crabby...
Then today, I went to the mall to use my birthday money from my grandparents and the place was completely decked out for Christmas...it is only the beginning of NOVEMBER!!!! Very frustrating...true, I was also at the mall to start the christmas shopping so I was not rushing at the end...but that is besides the point.
That was my week...hopefully this next one is better

Favourite Song for Today....
What I really meant to say:
Cyndi Thompson
It took me by surprise
When I saw you standing there
Close enough to touch
Breathing the same air
You asked me how I'd been
I guess thats when I smiled and said just fine
Oh, but baby I was dying
What I really meant to say
Is I'm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
There's not a night I haven t cried
And baby here's the truth
I'm still in love with you, yeah
That's what I really meant to say
And as you walked away
The echo of my words
Cut just like a knife
Cut so deep it hurt
I held back the tears
Held on to my pride and watched you go
I wonder if you ll ever know
What I really meant to say
Is I'm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
There's not a night I haven't cried
And baby here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
What I really meant to say
Is I'm really not that strong
No matter how I try
I'm still holding on
And here's the honest truth
I'm still in love with you, yeah

The New Me
So apparently I have taken a liking to "upgrading" my life...what does this mean you might be asking yourself...well my friends it means that now I am a "professional" in the (gulp) "REAL WORLD!" So, I went out and bought myself a new tv, a new dvd player and this fancy laptop to spend more time online...this can't be good.
But I also wanted to add in this new QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What have you always wanted to do but have never done?
Answer...then I will

Daily Devotional
Let It Go!!!
"Get rid of your sins" Job 11:14 (NLT)
God's way is to tell it like it is. He doesn't put a bandage over an infected wound. He insists that it be lanced, drained, cleansed and given time to heal. "But I had a child out of wedlock. I've been to prision. I've had an abortion. I've failed badly." Do not get discouraged; God is not moved by our virtues; He's touched by "the feeling of our infirmities." (Hebrews 4:15) Listen: "For since He Himself has now been through sufferings and temptation, He knows what it's like...and He is wonderfully able to help us."(Heb 2:18 TLB) "Can someone with my past touch God and their future be forever changed?" YES! "There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins; the sinners plunged beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stains."
The rewards of repentance are awesome. Job writes "Prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid od your sins and leave all iniquities behind you. Then your face will brighten in innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. You will forget your misery. It will all be gone like water under a bridge...you will have courage because you will have hope. You will be protected and will rest in safety. You will lie down unafraid, and many will look to you for help" (Job 11-13-19 NLT) Go ahead, step into the river of God's mercy and let it flow over you, setting you free. Whether it's the guilt of something you've done or the pain for something that was done to you---LET IT GO!

How weird am I?
Okay, so a past post got me thinking about how strange and quirky I really am...I thought that I would share some of my quirkiness with the world...
~I am a daycare teacher yet I cannot stand the thought of my own children (when I have them) being stuck into the system...how weird
~I want to go to Alabama because of a movie and my love of accents
~This also applies for many other states too...the Carolinas, Texas...just to name a few
~I mismatch my socks...all the time...even when I go to church...sometimes I colour co-ordinate my mismatched socks...like if I am wearing black pants and a red shirt, I wear a black sock and a red sock...not only this, but I mismatch my earing and my ponytails, and my mittens in the winter and sometimes even my shoes (depending on the circumstances)
~I am very stubborn...pretty sure I do not actually want to lead at Fall Retreat this month, the only reason I wanted it so badly was because Kathy told me "no"
~I'm a shop-a-holic...pretty sure I just went out and bought a TV because it was cute...not to mention all the other nonsense things I have boughten over the years...a tennis skirt, a yoga mat, a fuzzy pink rug...come on, what is with that?
That is all that I can think of right now...what else makes me quirky?

1. What song (and it can be any) would best describe "you" in your opinion of course
2. And what song would you give to me?

Hello Kelly Lyrics!
These are the lyrics to my favourite Hello Kelly lyrics! Look them up, listen to them, they are fabulous!
Paperbag Princess
by Hello Kelly
Hey Elizabeth, don't raise the drawbridge darling.
I've been waiting a long time for someone like you.
For someone like you.
You hide behind your insecurities.
The paper bag around your waist
And the mud upon your face puts them above you.
But I still love you.
Cause I'm standing in my tin foil armour,
My dollar store broad sword is by your side.
And did Ronald break your heart when he called you ugly?
And can I hold you arm?
Hey Elizabeth I'm just a peasant school boy.
But I've been waiting a long time to hold your hand,
Or something like that.
I'm not a soldier and I'm not a king,
But I can play a mean guitar
And you can talk to me about almost anything,
Without worrying.
Cause I'm standing in my tin foil armour,
My dollar store broad sword is by your side.
And did Roland break your heart when he called you ugly?
And can I hold you arm?
Hey Elizabeth don't think that I am ok
Cause I've got problems just like you, but I am fine.
Cause you are mine.
If we put our faith into God above,
Then He will protect us both, and He'll keep us strong
As long as we have love.
And we've got love.
Favourite Arcade
by Hello Kelly
could you look into my eyes
and tell me that you enjoyed
everytime we played your game
you always brought me down the same old way
when i come up to this place
its your favourite arcade
i'm drowning in your skin
but i just want out of it oh (2x)
i never bargained for this pain im feeling now
this fever pierces every part of me somehow
my tongue is twisted
and i can't look down no matter how hard i try
well i walked away
from my favourite charade
i thought i loved you
yesterday you were just in my head
i guess you thought that i would cave
hey girl, i guess your still the same
how do you like me now
now that i'm on my way
it's always the same game you play oh
i never bargained for this pain im feeling now
this fever pierces every part of me somehow
my tongue is twisted
and i can't look down no matter how hard i try
i know that it don't matter
how hard i try
i know that it don't matter
how hard i try
how can i hate you when you buy me flowers?
how can i trust you when they always die?
i never bargained for this pain im feeling now
this fever pierces every part of me somehow
my tongue is twisted
and i can't look down no matter how hard i try
i know that it don't matter
how hard i try
i know that it don't matter
how hard i try
Eulogy
Hello Kelly
The problem with your smile
Is that its gone
And all your laughter
Will have to wait till after
And the problem with your clothes
Is that their off
They're folded nicely
And packed up tightly
Cuz your gone
Time is burning
I am learning
Just cuz your gone
Doesn't mean your gone
Cuz your name was written down
I never thought that I'd see you bleed
But your skin is soo cold now
I wish that you'd
Stop pretending to sleep
And our tree house
And our Saturdays are gone
Now that this is over
I guess its my turn to be strong
Well I want this I need this I'm helpless
Without this
And time is burning
I am learning
Just cuz your gone
Doesn't mean your gone
Cuz your name was written down
And though I walk these halls alone
Just cuz your gone
Doesn't mean your gone
Cuz your name was written down
(As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take)
And the problem with your eyes
Is that they still shine
Time is burning
I am learning
Just cuz your gone
Doesn't mean your gone
Cuz your name was written down
And though I walk these halls alone
Its just when your gone
I feel your gone
Cuz your name was written down

New Favourite Band
Hello Kelly is the rock you've always longed for.It's the rock that takes other music and adds what you always thought it needed.
It's the grittiest alternative and the hardest rock and the catchiest pop - with melodies that drill into your mind and synth that drills into your throat. It's the kind of honest story-telling that makes your friends wonder what you're smiling about. It's the kind of show that makes you rock out like nobody's business and has enough class to make your grandmother join the mosh pit.
Hello Kelly is five young men who, after doing time in their own musical endeavours, decided to unite and give birth to something truly original and innovative. Frontman/songwriter Francois Goudreault Jr. says this about their goal: "I remember when rock and roll was something that people talked about. I remember my parents filling my ears with Van Halen, The Scorpions, and Triumph - when conversations around the barbeque were about an artist's latest guitar effect, not an artist's latest clothing line. I want people to remember Hello Kelly like that."
So why Kelly? Kelly is the poster girl for every typical teenage anthem. Front-row at a punk show, or hard-rocking in the hallway walking, Kelly is listening to rock and roll and appreciating every moment of it. She has got her tastes and her opinions, but she has also got her insecurities. The world pushes Kelly around; putting words in her mouth and thoughts in her head. There is a band who wants Kelly to wake up and make her own decisions, build her own dreams and define her own beliefs. Wake up and face the world Kelly, give rock and roll a new name.
Coming onto the scene as a brand-spanking new band isn't always easy, but this is a challenge that Hello Kelly meets with clenched fists.
In Spring of 2004, Francois worked with jamie k... (Thousand Foot Krutch) to produce Hello Kelly's debut EP: Modern Day Nostalgia. "I think everybody has moments when they wish they could be in their backyard playing with army men and skipping ropes - because those moments were never fake or constructed, like so much of life is today. Everybody's always going to have good memories from their childhood, and that's what we're trying to trigger with this project."
Hello Kelly is rock for the good times and the bad times. "There's a strong spiritual element to our music because we try to let our own beliefs infiltrate the art; that's the best way to make it unique and personal. It's not about promoting a religion or telling people what to believe - it's about putting our experiences out there and letting the art speak for itself. Hopefully that makes people move: at the rock show and in their perceptions."
THE BAND:
Francois Goudreault, Jr: Vocals, Guitar
James Watts: Bass
Will Arkell: Synth, Acoustic, Back-up Vocals
Kane Bender: Drums
Mike Donais- Guitar and vocals

There is a band who wants Kelly to wake up and make her own decisions, build her own dreams and define her own beliefs. Wake up and face the world Kelly, give rock and roll a new name.
Coming onto the scene as a brand-spanking new band isn't always easy, but this is a challenge that Hello Kelly meets with clenched fists.
In Spring of 2004, Francois worked with jamie k... (Thousand Foot Krutch) to produce Hello Kelly's debut EP: Modern Day Nostalgia. "I think everybody has moments when they wish they could be in their backyard playing with army men and skipping ropes - because those moments were never fake or constructed, like so much of life is today. Everybody's always going to have good memories from their childhood, and that's what we're trying to trigger with this project."
Hello Kelly is rock for the good times and the bad times. "There's a strong spiritual element to our music because we try to let our own beliefs infiltrate the art; that's the best way to make it unique and personal. It's not about promoting a religion or telling people what to believe - it's about putting our experiences out there and letting the art speak for itself. Hopefully that makes people move: at the rock show and in their perceptions."
THE BAND:
Francois Goudreault, Jr: Vocals, Guitar
James Watts: Bass
Will Arkell: Synth, Acoustic, Back-up Vocals
Kane Bender: Drums
Mike Donais- Guitar and vocals

My second home...
It has been a very sad few days for me, it is finally sinking in that I will not be going to my second home this summer, my second home being Camp Hermosa. This will be the first time in 13 straight summers that I have not spent a minimum of 1 week at this place, I have cried many a tear over this...if any of you are laughing...I'm coming after you, I might be small but I am fiesty...I can take you! But seeing as only hermosa people really read my blog anyways...how sad is that? tangent...I apologize...I am asking all my hermosa folks to please write down in my comments their favourite hermosa moments so that I can laugh about something...here is a list of my top favourite hermosa moments (camper, leader, staffer)
-you whore, you stole my sleeping bag
-writing songs about my feet
-man I feel like a woman
-ish
-swimming in the campfire pit
-bloody toe lists
-sponge bob is where?
-lacoon broke the car
-it wasn't the nanny, it was the granny
-why jaya's pajamas are wet
-bunkfood juffet
Okay, I am taking all the good ones, now it is your turn, cheer me up, make my day brighter, make me laugh.

It has to stop
Okay, I have been trying desperatly to come to grips with the terrorist attacks on London, I have been trying to come up with some sort of logical explanation of what I am feeling. So far, I have had no luck in this area, but I felt that I needed to write something down anyways.
To say that I am angry, that would be a gross understatement. I am livid, beyond myself, yet at the same time saddened and deeply distressed. 9/11 was horrible, Madrid was devastating, and now London...what is next. I feel like we are just getting back to a state of normal life and then something happens that puts everyone into a state of terror. I can honestly say that I am scared, scared of what this world has become...where people just strap bombs to whatever they feel like and blow up innocent people...there were children on those trains...but I suppose that does not matter in todays world. It needs to stop, someone needs to put an end to all this terror and destruction...how many more innocent people have to die before it ends? Plus, most of you know that I am not a big fan of the Americans, (most of my family is American, that is why I can be so open about my dislikes) but I hate the fact that they are using what happened in London to focus on themselves...the moment that the bombings become public knowledge, the Americans were on higher alert...worry about someone other than yourself. The only comfort I have been able to get out of this whole ordeal is to remember that God is faithful. God will protect us, that no matter what happens today, tomorrow or the next day, God will still be there, holding us and comforting us. I just hope that one day, everyone will know that kind of love and comfort.
Wow, this was a pretty bitter post.

Thats the way the cookie crumbles I guess
Hi All, okay, once again, it has been super long since I last wrote here. I really truely am the worst blogger in the whole world...whatever, I will survive...and maybe I will try to get better...I doubt it, but you never know. So, lots has happened since I last wrote in here...but I don't remember most of it...but I will write about what I do...does that work for you? Good...
~Work is going really good...I am really happy with the place I am working at right now, which is such a relief, seeing as I will be in brampton for what appears to be a long time still, it's nice to have something to work at that I like. my co-worker is awesome, we really have become good friends, yay Alicia! Although, the sad news is that one of my children will be leaving because his mother died on Thursday...that is horrible, I loved this kid and now he is so sad and I do not blame him in the least.
~I quit Sunday School...yep, I sure did, I am no longer the teacher of the Jr.Youth class, I finally threw in the towel, I had had enough of their constant bickering and trying to take advantage of me...so I am done...not sure what I will do now...I might attend my dad's class...but I don't know.
~My sister graduated yesterday from Emmanuel Bible College, so did Parker and his girlfriend Jen. I went, it was a really long ceremony, but it was great, I cried...but whatelse is new right? I got to catch up with Parker which was nice seeing as we have not really talked to each other in close to 2 years...wow, that is a long time. And Ames was there, that caught me by surprise, but made me have happy...I miss my entire Fab 4 but getting to see at least one of them makes me smile.
~Graham is coming home on Tuesday! YAY!!! My boss has given me the afternoon off so that I can met him at the airport...yay, I really like that, I have missed him so much and it has been way way too long...I just wish that I got to spend more time with him than just an evening...but I have to work the next day.
Anyways, I am about to be late for church.

Update
~Happy Good Friday Everyone, I will be headed off to church in just a few hours for our Friday Service, it should be really good.
~My sister and brother in law are coming to stay for the weekend, that will be fun, I will get to spend some quality time with my sister. That makes me very happy.
~There is a concert tonight at my church, all bands that I have never heard of, so that makes me less happy...but I will still go regardless.
~On Wednesday morning, I cut my elbow open, yep, I should have gotten stitches, but I chose not to...not sure if that was a mistake yet or not...but we shall have to wait and see.
~What did I do to my elbow you ask? Stupid story really, see...I was in the bathroom at my house, and for those of you who know my house, the bathroom upstairs has a little ledge type thing with a very pointy corner...dangerous really. Well, I was adjusting the sweater I was wearing and I banged my elbow really hard off the corner of this ledge...now, at first I did not think anything of it because it was the general area of my funny bone, so whatever right? wrong, I continued to fix my hair and brush my teeth, when I noticed that my elbow was stinging, so I glanced down and my sleeve of my white sweater was bright red with blood...I freaked.
~Work is going well, I have been very busy and we had our Easter party yesterday during the afternoon, complete with egg hunt, the children were thrilled, but so loaded on sugar, so we sent them home.
~I might be going to the Raptors game on the 15th, the youth group has signed on for the BCOQ Centre court event...interesting
~Our Youth Group now has a name...yippee...we are called "Youth F.I.R.S.T" (F.I.R.S.T stands for Fellowship, Inviting others to share God's Love, Responding to the needs of others, Showing our love to God through worship, and Training in God and to obey His Word)
~I got to see some pictures of my friend Ben's little daughter, she is adorable.
~I have noticed that a lot of my friends are "asking questions" in the sense of NOT asking the questions, just hoping that I will understand what they mean, "loud and clear but the answer is still no"
~I am sick, I have had this cold for over a month, and now I have an ear infection and the possibility of pink eye. Great.
~I have to go get ready for church now.

A Good Old Irish Blessing
So, as it would turn out, I was told today by my grandmother (my dad's mom) that the West Family is actually a good old Irish Family...so now I am British, Scottish and Irish...I am a nice mix. But to celebrate this new found knowledge...here is a blessing:
Always remember to forget the things that made you sad
But never forget to remember the things that made you glad
Always remember to forget the troubles that passed away
But never forget to remember the blessings that come each day
May you always have work for your hands to do
May your pockets hold always a coin or two
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again, my friend
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
God has not promised skies always blue
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through
God has not promised sun without rain
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain
God has not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, troubles and woe
He has not told us we will not bear
Many a burden, many a care
But God has promised strength for the day
Rest for the labourer, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

Seriously...who hired these people?
Okay, so I am in the process of reading several books right now...yeah, I know, it is probably not a smart move to try reading 4 books all at the same time..."it can get confusing" some have even said...but some of these books are "homework" so to speak even though I am clearly finished with the whole schooling process. But one of these books is called "I know you Love me, but do you like me?" It is about how to be the best friend of the person you are dating/married to. It is actually a really good book. One that I find I am agreeing with throughout the whole process...unlike the other books which when I calm down enough about them, I will write about them too. But in this "I Know you Love Me..." book, there is a whole list of those stupid labels on materials things...apparently these have caused several marriages/dating relationships to end because woman think that men are stupid for writing them, and men feel the same about women. Here they are:
On a Sears Hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping
On a bag of chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
On a bar of Dial Soap: Directions: Use like regular soap
On some Swannson frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: defrost
On a hotel-provided shower cap in a box: fits one head
On the bottom of Tesco's Tiramisu dessert box: Do not turn upside down
On Marks&Spence Bread Pudding: Product may be hot after heating
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothing while still on the body
On a bottle of children's cough medicine: Do not drive a car or operate heavy machines
On Nytol Sleep Aid: Warning: may cause drowsiness
On a Korean kitchen knife: Warning: keep out of children
On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chainsaw with your hands
On Sainsbury peanut bottle: Allergy Alert: Product may contain nuts
On an American Airlines Peanut package: Directions: open package, eat nuts.

3 Years in the Making
So, back on February 19, 2002 I said "yes" to the man of my dreams, and now 3 years later, we are still together, going strongand have plans for the future. Although, any rumours out there that anyone might have heard are false, we are not engaged. But on this day, I just want to tell Graham that I love him with all my heart and I look forward to the many years we have ahead of us.
I hit the door at 6:55 sack full of groceries split down the side.
Can goods scattered all the way to the curb.
Look on my face saying don't say a word.
So, it's you and me and a can of beans sitting there on the front porch swing.
Western sky all turning red.
Head on your shoulder I sighed and said:
Been gophering, chauffering, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man that I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like i can't make it through.
I said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you
I said the girl I was with the highschool degree probally wouldn't recognize me.
I was going around the bank.I was going to run them out.
Now all I want to run is a bubble bath.
Back then you know I had this plan.
Before all of this reality set in.
Here comes life boy ready or not.
Hey I wanted it all and thats what I got.
Cause I'm gophering, chauffering, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man thatI don't do.

La, la, la, la, la, la
The woman with you
P.S, I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you. Now everytime I hear the rain pounding on my windowsill, my whole mind is full of thoughts of you. Thank you for the time we have had

I said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you.
I said I'm gophering,chauffering, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man that I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like I can't make it through.
I said it sure is nice to just be the woman the woman with you.
La, la, la, la, la, la
The woman with you
P.S, I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you. Now everytime I hear the rain pounding on my windowsill, my whole mind is full of thoughts of you. Thank you for the time we have had

2 thoughts for the day
First thought of the day: I wake up every morning to another crazy day I have to face and when I'm losing my direction, you are the one who points me in the right way. You always know when I am about to fall. It's almost like you are standing there when I hit the wall. Because of you my eyes are open and instead of hoping I have faith in today. So I thank you God for blue skies. When my head is down, You remind me to look up. Thank you for all those times You believed when others couldn't see. Without You where would I be?
Second thought of today: Sometimes I get emotional, sometimes I do some stupid things. Sometimes I say what I should just keep inside. Sometimes I am sad about everything. Sometimes I am mad and I break some things. Sorry times 10 but you just got in the way. Don't run away from me, I won't hurt you. Sometimes I am just a pain and that's just the way that I am. Sometimes I feel like crying, like lying down and dying, but thats when I need you. Laughing is always easy but sometimes I'm just scared that you'll leave me, that's when I feel emotional. You say that I'm just impossible, totally unpredictable. I'm just a girl get used to it. It's no big deal really and you can't change me. Why would you even try? I am no angel but I can make you smile and that is just the way it is

Sure, we will go with that
You are "Welcome to the Caribbean, love."
You're more than a little world-weary, but also
intelligent and you keep your head when things
get dodgy. You're everybody's favorite
drinking buddy, but your stubbornness does get
in the way sometimes.
Which one of Captain Jack Sparrow's bizarre sayings from Pirates of the Caribbean are you?

Seriously? Do these even work?
Some pickup lines honestly make me scratch my head and say "do these really work?" Here are a few of my favourites:
~You know you want to buy me some M&Ms
~With hands on shoulders) Oh, those are shoulder blades, I thought they were wings
~Am I dead, Angel? Cause this must be heaven!
~Are you lost ma'am? Because heaven's a long way from here.
~Haven't we met before?
~Bond. James Bond.
~Can I borrow a quarter? ["What for?"] I want to call my mom and tell her I just met the girl of my dreams. OR: I want to call your mother and thank her.
~Did it hurt? Woman: Did what hurt? When you fell out of heaven?
~Excuse me, but I think I dropped something!!! MY JAW!!
~Hi. I suffer from amnesia. Do I come here often?
~I have only three months to live. ..
~I'm new in town. Could you give me directions to your apartment?
~If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together
~If I followed you home, would you keep me?
~If you were a tear in my eye I would not cry for fear of losing you.
~So there you are! I've been looking all over for YOU, the girl of my dreams!
~Stand still so I can pick you up!
~Wouldn't we look cute on a wedding cake together?
~You look like an angel. Welcome to Earth
~Wow

From Undernealth
Hawk Nelson
From undernealth I wanted you
To see the first thing
That I ever poured my heart into
You'll never know the pain that I've been through
I'm not sure you'll ever know
And so I'll make you understand
The words that built my life
Were not from you,
But from my Father's hand
Do you remember, that cold day in December?
Leaving everything you knew behind
I may never know how it feels
To stand beside you
Or take your hand
When I need some direction
And I may never know what its like
To see you smile back at me
Or know you'd be proud of me
From undernealth I promised to
Erase the past
And let my heart forgive the former you
Replace the dark of old
And start brand new
I never thought I'd see the day
I walk towards the end of life
And turn the other way
Reaching out to take my Father's hand
~Because I have missed so many months of my e-songs, I thought, why not include some other favourites of mine.
Long and Lonely Road
Hawk Nelson
I took a walk down a country road
I know it may sound dumb
But I was all alone
If you think I'm going somewhere
Take my hand I'll lead you there
Don't want to have to
Call you from a pay phone
It's a long and lonely road
It's a long and lonely road
If you don't like it
Then please don't take it
It's a long and lonely road
I took a walk down a country road
I know it may sound dumb
But I was all alone
If you think I'm going somewhere
Take my hand I'll lead you there
Don't want to have to
Call you from a pay phone
I know it is so hard
For you and I to be apart
I'm slowly fading
You're my lady
That keeps me moving on
Honest promise
You will be missed!
Suds in the Bucket
Sara Evans
She was in the backyard
They say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up
A white pickup truck
Her folks should have seen it coming
It was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough
And you can't stop love
She stuck a note to the screen door
"Sorry but I got to go"
That was all she wrote
Her mama's heart was broke
That was all she wrote
So the story goes
Now her daddy's in the kitchen
Just staring out the window
Scratching and racking his brain
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl
Growed up to be a woman
And she is gone in the blink of an eye
She left her suds in the bucket
And her clothes hanging out on the line
Now don't you wonder what the preachers
Gonna preach about Sunday Morn
Nothing quite like this has happened here before
Well he must have been a looker
A smooth talking son of a gun
For such a grounded girl
To just up and run
Cause you can't fence time
And you can't stop love
Now the biddy's in the beauty shop
Gossip going non-stop
Sipping on pink lemonade
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tail girl
Growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left her suds in the bucket
And the clothes hanging out on the line
She's got her pretty little bare feet
Hanging out the window
And their headed up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl
Growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left her suds in the bucket
And the clothes hanging out on the line
She was in the back yard
They say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up
A white pickup truck
Plenty old enough
And you can't stop love

The Worst Feeling
I feel that one of the worst feelings in the whole world is to be disappointed or let down by a friend, family member or loved one. In the past 24 hours, I have felt let down by 2 of the 3...and let me tell you, the worst one was the let down by the family member. The friend one was really not that bad...I mean, yeah I was disappointed, but I will move on and we have other plans, no need to worry about it. But my family member let down, not only affects me, but several other people were counting on this as well. Grr...it makes me so angry just thinking about it!
Okay, here is the story...I told my brother about a month ago to keep the 15th of January free because the worship band was asked to play at the opening of the Youth Group...he said that yes, I could "always count on him", I reminded him two weeks ago and he still said that he remembered and that he would be there, he "would not miss it for the world" because he knew it was important to me. That is a good sign don't you think? Well, anyways, tonight when I was in the car with my father picking him and his girlfriend up from the mall, I just happened to casually comment about the youth group tomorrow and how we were playing at it, and he told me that he "made other plans with Christine" so he won't be there!! Can you believe it? I am so flipping mad right now...he broke a promis to me and that hurts a lot.
I can honestly say that this is one of the worst feelings in the whole world
Okay, here is the story...I told my brother about a month ago to keep the 15th of January free because the worship band was asked to play at the opening of the Youth Group...he said that yes, I could "always count on him", I reminded him two weeks ago and he still said that he remembered and that he would be there, he "would not miss it for the world" because he knew it was important to me. That is a good sign don't you think? Well, anyways, tonight when I was in the car with my father picking him and his girlfriend up from the mall, I just happened to casually comment about the youth group tomorrow and how we were playing at it, and he told me that he "made other plans with Christine" so he won't be there!! Can you believe it? I am so flipping mad right now...he broke a promis to me and that hurts a lot.
