Polititcs:
My story today is from Canada.com. It seems that plans are already in the works to kill the useless gun registry in this country, and I for one couldn't be happier. Simply put, this program is a waste of taxpayers' money and a joke. This was a program designed to keep better tabs on firearms in this country, in the hopes that murder investigations, etc, may be a little easier to solve. However, the only people who are actually going to register their firearms are law abiding citizens who use their weapons solely for hunting, target practice or home protection. No criminal is about to register their gun- they will use one unregistered or steal a weapon from an innocent person who had registered theirs. I think there are better things the government can be spending our money on- and I support the idea of using the money that would have been wasted on the gun registry to hire more police officers.

Life:
BUSY as you may be able to tell by my lack of blogging. I have been working a lot with Stampin' Up, getting new customers, posting flyers around town and organizing workshops (3 this weekend!) It is paying off so far though- I have already met and exceeded my quarterly sales minimum, which I'm not required to get until the end of March. And I don't even hold my first workshop until tomorrow!
School only 2 months away and I am getting very excited. I'm hoping to do some volunteer work with a lawyer my father knows and get a little more insight into the profession. Also, I have been hearing promising things about quality of work and opportunities for high pay in conveyancing firms- if anybody has any insight on that for me, do share!
Things are going well at home- haven't killed Josh yet and am still finding him a delight to live with. He is very neat and tidy! Oogie Boogie is (of course) still a puppy psycho, but now he is a puppy psycho who a) has learned to jump up on the couch b) has his first trip to the groomers last week and c) is starting obedience training next week.
Took my car into Honda yesterday, and a small fortune later came out with a new timing belt, cam seal, tires balanced and rotated, oil and filter changed, fluids topped up. Al put in my new sub box (I love the better sound quality) and is putting my new rotors and brake pads on next week. Also we discovered that I need new spark plugs and oil pan gasket and that my CV boots are starting to crack, but that is nothing too major to replace. I don't mind spending some money on Silvie really, she is 10 years old, has 240,000 KMS on her and has carried me on lots of trips to Vancouver, Seattle, etc... so I can't really complain at a little maintenance work.
That's all for now folks!
