Today was the last day of my daycamps, and I got to drive not one, but two of the little boys home. We'll call them Eustace and Tyrone. As usual, I put some music on for me in the front while Eustace and Tyrone played I Spy in the back seat.

Eustace: Chantelle?
Me: Yes?
Eustace: This song is DUMB.
Me: Haha WHAT?! It is NOT!
Tyrone: Yes it is!
Me: Fine I'll change it.
*Chantelle flips the song to "Single Ladies"
Tyrone: Not this song! No!
Chantelle: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES! ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!
Eustace: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! STOP!
Chantelle: Fine! I'll turn it off.

Here is a small smackerel of what I've been listening to lately. Enjoy!

For the next few weeks, I am helping run some daycamps that teach social skills to kids on the Autism spectrum. I just finished the first week and I am ex-to-the-HAUSTED. Don't get me wrong, I like doing it and parts of it were  really fun! There were just parts that were... less than really fun. Haha. Like today when one of the boys whined that if he didn't get to have a marshmallow before he went home he would probably starve. I kindly informed him that it takes a human being about thirty days without food before they would starve, and that he would be home well before it was even supper time. That shut him up. Kind of.

Part of my job includes driving one of the boys (Let's call him Nigel. That's a fun name.) from his house in Melfort to where the camp is held in another town and back again. It's about half an hour each way. Woo right? Today, I had a bunch of mix CDs with me to help make the trip seem shorter. Now, I should probably mention that I have music ADD and can't stay on the same song very long. As I skipped through the tracks on one of the CDs, I heard a voice in the back seat.


And then I switched it back and we rocked out with Beyonce all the way to camp. The end.

 Last night I got to see Nicole after two months. We had a sleepover. We did very little actual sleeping. It was pretty rad. Then I hung out with her family until this afternoon. I love them. They remind me of my family.
 After I got home, I showered and packed my backpack. Then I fixed up my bike and rode over to Henderson for a couple hours. It was PACKED.

I shall be quite busy today running errands, doing laundry, tidying my room, getting ready to go home, and preparing for the mother of all sleepovers. :) Here are some songs that were very important for one reason or another this year:

1. Coachella- Brooke Fraser

I do love me a good cover. Sometimes I even love one more than the original.

Here is a sample of what I listened to today while I semi-cleaned my bedroom:

 Yesterday I had my first REAL sushi! I had had it before, but we had made it for a youth group activity, and it just had crab meat in it. I liked this item on the menu:

Happy Things:
-Today was Adventure Wednesday. Excellent lunch and company were involved.
-Purchased tickets for more concerts today!
-The Crazy Week of Music is half over!
-I had a good hair day. I missed my bus in the morning, so I went back home and did my hair for an hour. haha.
-My parents might come visit soon!
-chats with friends
-Our choir director Ruth brought oreos for us to secretly eat during dress rehearsal. But I didn't eat mine secretly. I wanted to make the other kids jealous.
-My new record for minesweeper on hard is 2 minutes and 44 seconds. Previous record = 8 minutes, 42 seconds. Win.

Should I be studying for my midterm? Yes. Oh well!

• I want new glasses. I'm probably due anyways... I even found a pair that I really, really like! They're RED. How fun is that?! I doubt my parents would approve. Too "hip". haha. 
• I'm so proud of my little brothers! They both did very well in music festival back home. Clay played piano for his second year in fest, and Benton played trombone for the first time.
• Today was lovely and sunny and warm. And I got to spend part of it with Lizzy, who is lovely and sunny and warm.... blooded.
• I put too much seasoning on my green beans at supper and they tasted yucky. I was a sad panda.
• Talked to Momma about singing tonight. And my senior recital last year. And music festival. I may be seriously considering going home next year to sing in festival... I kind of missed it.
• I FINALLY WON MINESWEEPER. 
• This kinda makes me a lot more excited than it should. I would also like to point out that they will soon be performing one of my favourite songs of all time, "Somewhere Only We Know". Holla.

Round two! Time to inject some happiness into the weekend to make up for a rather drab and at times frustrating week. I don't mean to brag (Ha! Yes I do...), but it is GORGEOUS outside where I am. Sorry Saskies. I now present my weekend playlist to celebrate sunny weather!

I dare you not to smile. Or clap along. (*cough*Ben*cough*)


One day, I will sing this. On a bus. With THAT sweater. Legit.


This doesn't have "sun" in the lyrics, but it IS by K.C. and the SUNSHINE band. And I love this song.


Alright. This song is probably super cliche by now, but I mean, come on. It's Beyonce. And Glee. And happy. The end.


I included this one, because I always think of the scene from the 500 Days of Summer when he dances in the park. And parks remind me of summer. And summer reminds me of sunshine. Also, this video is not the full original version. It's the one with the dance number. :)


Have a FANTASTIC weekend!

What Chantelle should be doing: Studying for her history test.
