help yourself

tonight, while driving home on cambie, i saw a sign that said "help yourself". it's under a sushi sign, on the east side. at first i thought it meant, please, help yourself to... cottage cheese or some such thing. i quickly realised they probably meant help yourself, no one else can/will etc.

it was good and bad at work. we were crazy busy: good. but someone wanted to buy a locket, and we have this really cute one from früg so i showed her it. it is übercute, and while showing it to her, i thought, huh, i could put a picture of my mom and me in here, that would be so cute. and then i was like, is this for your mom? and she said it was. i swear to you, i started to cry! anyway. i somewhat got over it. after crying three more times. it's not like i hadn't started to tear up thinking about mother's day earlier, but it totally got me today. also it's day one of my period, so i'm super sensitive...and apparently desperate to be crying. and i've been feeling displaced lately because i've been camping at ang's (which has been fun, and super kind of her and her mom, but hard for me, who loves to be at home). anyway. i'm a bit out of sorts.

also today, i ate dinner at yvonne's... risotto to boot! wick-ed! oh, and ian bought his girl something at the store, which was fun. and a bunch of ang's friends met up to go to hitchhiker's guide. okay, apparently (much like the mice and men phenomenon) i didn't start to read the book. it must have been a different one that i now associate with that title. who knows. anyway, it was super funny, and a great watch. i would totally see it again (even in a theatre) and i was impressed. i liked it, and was happy i had totally different expectations about it. two thumbs up.

after the movie, yvonne and i stopped off at lauren's because i promised to stop at her party. lauren also gave me a cute bracelt at work today. she made it for me! yay! as we were leaving, because we couldn't find her, a guy stopped us and totally tried to chat us up. we humoured them for a while and then went back up. okay, by humoured, i mean i teased a bit and possibly destroyed his self-esteem. who knows. boys shouldn't be that delicate, and if you can't handle the teasing/joking around on the first go, it's a good sign things wouldn't work out. i mean, it's not going to get any easier. and he was german. he did follow us upstairs though.

overall, today was a 7. it had a great finish, like the roshambo wine i brought over to yvonne's. :o) and i got to see wheel of fortune and jeopardy for the first time in a week. AND talk to danielle, and see yvonne and ian and ang. AND two customers said i looked hot today. i don't *think* they meant sweaty. :o)

foots

today, because i haven't been able to properly groom (by properly, i mean obsessively) because i haven't been at my house i got a mini-pedicure and now have cute toenails with flowers on the big toe nails. yay cute! and now i don't have to be embarassed to try on shoes. especially fancy wedding style ones. yes, those would be the same ones that i have tried on, but not been inspired or even remotely pleased enough to actually consider purchasing. tomorrow after work, i will go to holt's and ask them to order those shoes in for me. here's hoping they can, and that they will fit me well enough to justify the cost.

also today was driving to hope, getting a million things done. then ang and i went for a walk around the mall. neither bought anything because the shoes suck this season. oh, and my sister (the one who's being nice to me) was being very domestic today and she did some of my laundry for me. which is cool, cause i'm gonna crash here (at ang's again) tonight. my place is being seen tomorrow, once by a new person, once by someone who has already seen it... this is exciting. saturday is another open house. and then there may be people who want to see it again on sunday. but that's when we're accepting offers. sunday evening. then it's make a mess time! and i'll be able to shower at home again.

that's all that's going on. i can't remember blogging about telling my boss that i will be leaving the store in june. this is exciting as well. i told her about my plans to leave for europe. that's all that's happened so far, considering my plans to leave. i don't even have a concrete destination. but i am leaning towards ireland at least for the first bit.

oh, only children.

today i went to work. despite it being my day off. despite me telling my boss that i will be leaving in june and moving to europe in august/september. work including babysitting her son, and doing some small accounting stuff. the accounting stuff is right up my alley. the babysitting was going stellar until he decided that me not listening to him boss me around wasn't a good thing. we were horsing around on the trampoline... he was laughing his ass off. it was great, and then he got grumpy... or too bossy. tomato tomahto. so, until 1/2 hr before i left, i was his favourite person. then i became his least favourite. luckily this means less babysitting. i don't hate him, but it's hard to reason with a kid that's not given enough attention, and then is given whatever so he'll be quiet.

the good part of my day: hot eyelashes are a go. two long shirts are a go. two cute belts, again, a go. things are good. danielle and i met up for eyelashes and shopping and olive garden. i haven't spent time with her in a while, due to a series of unfortunate events (yes, i stole that). so it was very nice.

oh, and i think i sprained my finger horsing around with the kid today. it HURTS.

today was the first open house for my apartment. saturday is the next, and hopefully the last. i wouldn't mind not mooching of the kindness of ang and her mom. haagen daz gifts in return or not.

last night was sleepover at ang's. yvonne, and i watched ang and david play some classic atari games...wait, i guess they are all classic. it is atari. yvonne knit, i priced jewelry, of course. and there was some quality cribbing involved. there was a pretty close one and that was wicked. we all agree... 3 player crib is the hardest.

tonight is maybe doing some work... and hanging out with hoolie 'til ang gets home. i should have made danielle hang out with me longer and go to a movie or something, cause work kinda sucks.

he's just *not* that into you

today i bought some trash books. i had been meaning to get "he's just not that into you" for a while now... ummm... more specifically, since early january.

it's a very quick read. especially if you accidently buy the abridged version. oops.

perhaps the best one is #59: If he's not calling you, it's because you're not on his mind. 'nuff said. People always say stuff like, oh he's not a phone talker, he's really busy, etc. *i've* said it. but there's something about print that can really drive home a message.

tonight i went for dinner to bin 942. i'd been there before and had WICKED risotto. they only had a mushroom risotto tonight. i guess the menu changes more often than i thought.

i played some wicked crib with ang at her house... in both games we were both worried about the other person doing some mad skunking. and then we started a betting game with greg (who kindly brought us slurpees) but i had to run out to meet my sister which ended up being a bit annoying. i was wanting to win some wicked cookies.

thankfully, since my shower this morning, my skin is feeling nice again. i don't *want* to have to stay at people's houses and mooch showers and cooking space, but it could actually be longer than i thought. maybe i should just say fuck it, and get on with my life back at home again. ugh.

permanent vacation

so i feel like i've been having a bit of a vacation. i'm at anghold's and takin it easy. although i'm not sure it counts as much since i've already left myself voice messages at home about work.

as the days go by, and i get more and more involved in this, i want to leave. that kind of happens with a lot of things for me. and probably for lots of people. i'll totally be in love with something and super intense about it, and then one day, it will bore me or not interest me anymore.

in other news, i haven't eaten at home since friday. and i haven't eaten properly since then either.

friday night was at dalia's with ang, yvonne and chris. popsicles were had. saturday night was greg's birthday barbeque, and poker night at quinn and naomi's. good times were had.

perfect

my apartment is currently perfect. there isn't a crumb, hair, or dusty to be seen. today was going to be my open house. due to technology, the open house will be on wednesday. yesterday i seriously considered staying in a hotel until then. it's very hard not to touch or eat anything when it's your own house.

ian and i went shopping yesterday. i found the perfect silver strappy sandals. they only had size 5 left. when we go back on sunday, i'll ask if they can order a 10 in for me. they weren't too high, just simple, and cute.

but i couldn't find a long shirt. the kind that crinkles at the bottom. all the kids are wearing them. i saw some at pacific border, in the window, so i'll see if i can pick one up there.

last night, yvonne and i went to ang's house... well, dalia's, but ang is staying there. anyway, we had popsicles and veggies and hummous and tzatziki.

oh, and we saw a car get hit... again!

i decided to go down her street from the west side, although there is usually parking on the north side, so it wasn't a smart move... because there was parking on the north side, not the south. we turned around in a driveway, and a car waited for us. then the car backed up to let us go. they were driving too fast backwards, and too close to other cars i thought. and then yvonne saw the car lurch and i heard a crash. i noted the plate... you know, just in case... and as we pulled to the side we saw the whole side of the car smashed in.

we decided, because i wasn't 100% sure about the noise, and yvonne didn't see it hit, just the lurch, to write that their car may have been hit... unless this is old damage, give us a call. but then a neighbour came down and was like, are you alright? so we explained, and he said he had come down because of the noise. he added a note to ours, which we changed to, we saw your car get hit, and then we went to ang's. this morning, i got a phone call from the lady. i didn't answer, but i will call her soon.

later stu

i totally forgot to mention my stu adventure today.

i went downstairs, and he was there. since i had decided to tell him about texas hold'em if he was there, i did. we were chatting, and i asked if he likes poker. his answer (and reason enough to stop loving him) was that he's not good at losing, so he doesn't play games like that. (i think my heart broke-because really, can you imagine me hanging out with someone who doesn't like to play games... and worse, likes to, but is a poor loser? i don't think so.) anyway, we went on to joke about how we don't play for money, but reputation and now that he said he's a poor loser his reputation is on the ground.

and wouldn't you know... at the same time as we were talking about texas hold'em, that super hot guy from my building came in. as i told yvonne earlier: it was a hot sandwich.

oh, and as we were driving today, this guy was yelling at me, and honking from his car. he was yelling that there's a green arrow and i should go. for the record, you *can* turn right from that lane, but it's NOT a turning right lane exclusively. to him i say: fuck you, stop trying to ruin my day, jerk face. oh, and learn to drive.

trouble in blogger land

i have been having heaps of trouble with blogger. i am looking for ways to get around my server and read people's blogs, but so far, sometimes they quickly appear and then disappear... sometimes they don't even appear.

it's not that i'm not interested. it's that i can't. and no, i'm not suddenly reading your blog thirteen times in one day... i'm trying to read it... sometimes i try thirteen times.

jimmy buffet

today (sit down for this) i had buffet. it was indian buffet. it was all they had. it wasn't bad. i highly doubt yvonne and i got our money's worth, but the two guys that came in after us sure did!

we went to the homo depot and i got painting stuff (for the microwave shelf) and we got bankers boxes for packing. oh, and p.s. i suck at painting, as proven once again today. abstract stuff, i can do. painting something evenly in one colour... not so super good at.

i made a decent dent today, but have to get up early to start again. molly maid is coming over. at least i don't have to dust and clean the floors, that's my least favourite part of cleaning, although it is supernice to have wickedly clean floors. i enjoy the end result, i just don't like the process. there are other way more fun cleaning things to do.

oh, i also picked up and dropped off some stuff at toren's. i picked up a travel book for greece and spain, and a book on speaking italian. he's going to look for ireland and scotland (the other choices) when he works next. he got some dish soap that i don't like, and some bits of shampoos and conditioners. i may have gotten the better deal, but he did get 1/2 of clinique shampoo... and that's somethin'! i have way too much hair for a shampoo that doesn't foam much. i don't care if it's better for curly hair, my scalp didn't feel clean.

i think i'm going to have to eat out for dinner tomorrow and breakkie on saturday. i have packed away most of my utensils, and have to pack up the drying rack before the cleaners come tomorrow. this means i won't be able to prepare any kind of food. maybe i should shower somewhere else too. i hope no one needs to come back for a second look.

tomorrow i need to:
finish packing
buy some flowers
buy some fruit
take vacuum to garbage bin

discounts

so, i was at work today when someone from my building came in. she has a bit of a loud voice and would pick up an item and ask how much it is, and then how much it would be with my discount. basically, it wasn't going over that well, because there were other customers in the store, and another girl that works there. so, i was just like, look i can't give you a discount, i have to go and see how other people are doing.

she left, and all was quiet. after work, i went home, and headed to the coq to support ang's new habit of shopping. she bought two übercute skirts. soooo fun. i almost bought a jacket. instead, i bought nothing. believe it. i checked my messages at home from my cellphone, and there were two from her. i called her back and she wanted to see if i'd gotten the chinese balls/donuts/rolls whatever they are that she left outside my door. now, the funny part is how she was explaining that she thought i would like them. in case you missed the blog where i went on about how much she loves ian and how she thinks that, "he's a good man, hang on to him", she is under the impression that we are together. ian is half chinese. she explained that she thought i might like them because, you know... apparently she thinks if you like one kind of chinese balls, you'll like them all!

god, that cracked me up. anyway. that was the comedy of the evening. i should go to sleep soon. i need to work hardcore tomorrow packing shit up. i can't wait for this open house to be over. gosh.

welcome to high school

last night, i stayed up too late. i ate pizza too late. and i got a huge zit. yes, i feel like i'm back in high school.

anyway, we played mario party 2 and the game was giving out stars like... ummm... coins? hee hee. so, yoshi ended up with 7 stars and rocked the game. we played mysteryland. and because of our success, we opened a new land. now i have to use some of our coins to open new mini-games. we keep having to play the same ones.

i had the weirdest dream last night. weird, because no one was physically chasing me... but there was a strong, unspoken urgency. ian and i were getting married. it was a (get this) traditional italian wedding. neither of us are italian. not by a long shot. i'm not sure what the rush was, but i know that we were only doing it for another reason. here are the connections i've made from my life to this dream: a new pope was elected in italy...i know he's german, but that's irrelevant, i was doing some wedding-related things, and lisa said yesterday: i'm doing your wedding stuff (she was ordering guest books and such, at my request), i saw ian yesterday and we talked about mesed up marriages, and i ate dinner way too late, all of which contribute to an uneasy and weird-dream filled sleep. maybe that dream was a sign: don't eat dinner after 8pm. :o)

i don't want to go to work today. i'd rather crawl back into bed and snuggle with fluffy bedding and pretend that i don't have a tonne of work left to do before friday. yummy! instead, i'm going to shower and get ready for a hopefully super busy day.

the seattle story

funny, i just told danielle the story today. i felt that one week removed should have been enough. but then i had to pick up the sisters today.

so, last week my sisters slept over at my house, so we could leave early for seattle. they went to my grandpa's 92nd birthday in nevada. anyway, one of my sisters was so upset with me that i had eaten dinner without her, and that she was going to have to order pizza. which is a whole other story. anyway, we played trivial pursuit and then went to bed.

the next day started with one sister complaining about the other one snoring. blah blah blah. we load up and head south. on the way down (while in washington) we were in the express lane, when someone entered the highway and totally sped up to where we were and then cut me off, and slammed on their brakes. fyi, we were doing 140km, and they had passed us. so, i was ticked, but my sister was PISSED, as we passed them on the right, she was out of her seat, screaming and gesturing at them. and then when we were in front of them, she was signing for them to pull over. she was telling me to pull over, and was ready to kick ass. i had to grab her and tell her to sit down. clearly, there was no way i was going to stop. i was just like, sit down, we're in the states, they could have a gun. cause the guy was totally getting ready to pull over.

after that, we stopped at the mall. we were headed upstairs to victoria's secret, when one sister got lost. (i guess going up the escalator was a bit too much for her). once we found her, we got to victoria's secret, and the other one left to buy something else, without telling me. so in the 7 mins i was in the store, both sisters were gone. oy. so, i had to wait for 1/2 (of key shopping time) waiting for them to come back. then one sister went to the info booth to call me, because she couldn't find the store (which was about 30 steps away).

anyway, i just dropped them off and headed home. sweet. quick. home.

today i went to pick them up. i got a speeding ticket on the way down (thankfully i'll be selling my car before i move in august) so no more speeding tickets. everything was fine picking them up. they were waiting right where i told them, and they had only been waiting for like 3 mins. but when i was putting their stuff in the hatch, one sister decided to throw more into there, and i didn't see her, and whacked her in the head with the door. i felt soooooo bad. she was actually really good about it, the other sister was freaking out though, and saying she has a concussion and we should go to the hospital in case there is bleeding on the brain.

i finally got them in the car and we left. we ate lunch, and oddly, things were going well. then we crossed the border, and got cut off by someone who didn't shoulder check. i honked, because otherwise we would have been hit, but the same sister as before totally freaked. it was insane!!! i wanted to kick her out. no one was hurt, and the person didn't hit me, cause i'd honked. then, not about 10 blocks from my house, my other sister was like: turn this cd off! i can't stand it anymore! so i said, we're 5 mins from my house, and it's the hip, how bad can it be? and she continued to rant. so i turned the music off and was like, ummm okay, relax. so then she keeps spouting off about how it was making her crazy. i told her to stop, or it was going back on, but she just continued. we got to my house, and my only choice had been made. no more driving anywhere with my sisters. enough is enough!

and that's the seattle story. i did cross the border with 5 new underwear and a shirt and was passed through without paying duty. possibly the only good thing about this last week and the once dear to my heart, city of seattle.

so much for a short day

ugh. my feet and back are killing me. i was supposed to leave work at 2 today. maybe 3. instead, i just got home. i think it may be a movie night with some kind of faked dinner and popcorn.

short day, long jacket

today will be a short day at work. i was only scheduled for 5 hours, and i've spent the last while working at home. so, i'm only there 'til 2. if it's busy, i'll stay until 3, but if not, i'm going downtown.

i have a meeting at 4, and will spend some time looking at shoes, for the wedding. i really want somewhat comfy shoes, especially since my feet still hurt from last weekend, despite a lovely foot massage. i had dress shoes on (the day after danielle's birthday) because, despite remembering socks, i forgot sneakers. so i ran around the biggest ikea, looking for that green bedding that i was going on about, which they got, and so did i! but i hurt my feet in the process, which totally sucks. it's cause they need to be stretched.

anyway, i got the beautiful beautiful sheets, which will look fab on my new bed, once i buy it, which will be once i find a place and move. but it's very very exciting, since i'd been coveting them for forever.

wow. that's going around the block to say that i want comfy shoes.

also today, no matter how exhausted i am when i get home, i am determined to do house prep. i just need to buckle down, and think about england, oops, that's something else...i mean, think about how it will all be over soon. and once it's over i can do fun things like play poker and drink, and go out even on work nights. i guess i also have some work to do for the staff meeting tomorrow. but maybe i can do that on the bus!!! BRILLIANT!

oh yeah, the long jacket part is because it looks a bit chilly out today... brrr.

german meets english

oh gosh. i just re-read my blog and i spelled apples half-german half-english both times i wrote it. what a nerd! *lmao* i was like, huh, something's not right here. oy.

will work for food

this is ian's motto. it works out well for us, because often, like today, i need stuff done around my house that i'm not really interested in doing.

today ian fixed the fake drawers under the sink, and the loose handle in the bathroom. we played a game of crib, and i insisted we bet. since i beat greg yesterday, i thought i might be on a roll. i'm not. i was in the shit hole and he came up from behind and won. i wanted him to fix (fill and paint) the space where the shelf was by my microwave. i offered to make him apples in pyjamas. a german treat. anyway. i had to barter to get it done. i figure if i haven't done it this past year, i'm probably not going to get around to it in the next week. so all i have to do is make him dinner. i truly got the better deal. if anyone is interested, i am more than willing to cook/bake for your expertise. the apples in pyjamas were wicked. we also went to inspiration furniture again, and i now know what couch i want... when i move.

today i worked, so not i'm beat. it's looking like an early night, cause i'm going in tomorrow too. i was only supposed to work until 2, but i stayed until 4. cause i'm hardcore. and maybe a little dumb when it comes to work.

i can't wait to find a place and move. and then i won't be able to wait until i get settled. eek. i guess i should work on my patience ability.

this shit is bananas... b-a-n-a-n-a-s

this morning (for a lack of toast) i made banana muffins. so now my house, and probably myself, smell like bananas. i also priced some jewelry and found something for someone. that's all i'm saying. :o) it was also reading horoscopes and checking out funky jewelry online.

this afternoon was a quick trip to get superbalm from clinique. and drop yvonne off downtown. i stopped at cobs on the way home. cause i had some sandwich stuff, but no bread to put the stuff into.

last night, yvonne and i hung out... mario (played by yvonne) kicked ass last night at marioparty 2. it is the series she believes she excels at. and i schooled her at tetris.

chapped lips

my lips are soooo chapped that it looks like i'm wearing lipstick. i'm not.

also, today i made potato salad. german style. yummy!

tomorrow is a day off, so i will continue packing, and i will write the story of seattle. just in time, since i have to go back to pick up those very sisters on monday. oy. i'm also going to make "apples in pyjamas" another german treat. and possibly banana muffins because i have been cultivating the bananas to do so.

i will not be selling my house on saturday. i am way too stressed out, and i didn't get the days off that i needed to prepare. so i'm not going to do it this weekend. instead, i will do it next weekend. thank god. i am seriously beat. i need to have a vacation!!! ha ha. and quit my job. and move. etc.

condo for sale

today is the day that i list my house. angela nad i will be doing up the contract and all that stuff later. i got three emails with 2 bedrooms for sale. and i didn't want to even see any of this. this is somewhat troublesome, since i'm going to need a place to live soonish.

things to do before saturday:
buy flowers
finish de-junking
donate magazines
donate computer
fix fake drawer under sink

so the seattle story's going to have to wait until this evening, because i am already late begining my day. and i'd like to have some toast before i leave.

road rage

today i had to drive my sisters to sea-tac. oh lord. there is a story here. anyway... stay tuned, once i get this ad done, i'll let you in on the secret.

parties

last night was danielle's birthday party. we went to kelly o'brian's in the scurve and had dinner and drinks. then it was back to her house for games and sundaes. oh! that means i have m&ms in my bag still. yahoo!

today i went to a consignment store with anghold. it mostly sucked. and then we played mario party. she was peaches. and she won. in fact, she slaughtered.

my sisters are coming this evening. one is already here. the other is...*she just called* on her way. the next 18 hours are going to be stressful, wish me luck.

i'm already tired, so maybe i should start getting ready for that little thing called bed.

pack it up, pack it in

today i started to pack up some of my clutter. thank you very very much to jules and dalia. it was fun to hang out with them, and they super helped out!

tonight is danielle's birthday party. must remember swimsuit. i probably should have got some more waxing done today, but i didn't have time, and really, every boy there already has a girlfriend. so, check out my hairy thighs, and don't get lost in the forest.

what will i be wearing? well, i'm glad you're interested. it's pink shirt time, and red push-up bra. :o) to accompany this, i will wear either the silver wedges that hurt my feet (we won't be walking, thank god) or the black ones that i haven't stretched enough yet.

oh, and speaking of shoes! i need to see if there's a skechers store in seattle. i'll need some kind of therapy after being with my sisters for more than 15 mins. and retail therapy works well.

ind(ian)

tonight i had dinner with ian. i haven't really seen/talked to ian very much lately, so it was nice. we had indian. at the oven. delicious as always. horribly, my appetite isn't totally back, so i couldn't eat much. but i did manage to finish my lassie. oh mango lassies!

it was a little bit weird to hang out with him again. but things settled down. we did some lake tahoe planning. which is 100% exciting. there's still space in the car if someone else is interested.

i ended up spending more time at work than i thought i would today, but it was good. got through some stuff. which is really good. tomorrow are interviews in the morning, so i've got to go in early. and next week, vanessa comes back. so that will be fun! i'm looking forward to buying that quilted pink chanel knockoff. that i've had my eye on!

also, i have a weird bruise on my forearm. it's about two inches up from my wrist, on the outside of my arm. if you know anything about this, please contact me.

oh, and if anyone knows someone who'd be interested in doing some traveling, could you please have them contact me. i would like the person to be: funny, not a total pig, and a great kisser... oh wait, that's my personals ad. i would like them to be funny, not a total pig and somewhat responsible. they should have an interest in traveling with a girl like me.

back to life

back to reality.

today i am going into work. for a couple of hours (like, literally 2) . i did go in for an hour on monday, but i was still super out of it. today will be doing real work. so i'd better book it.

also, i need a haircut.

new knife = exciting times

today i tried my new knife. the one i bought at linen 'n' things when we were getting dalia's birthday present (the sexy red pots/pans and knife set). if you've ever tried cooking at my house you will know that for a long time i only had one knife. then ian bought me (out of frustration) a knife at save on. so then i had two. i did buy a knife block from ikea, but that was basically a donation to the corporation. anyway, i practically orgasmed when i used my knife... this may sound creepy, but i don't care... i have no boys in my life right now, so the knife's mad cutting skills will have to be what impresses me. and impress me they do! it's very exciting. so smooth, so sharp! yahoo!

also today, i am feeling much much better. so i did some work, i did eat some pizza, and some salad. and two popsicles. yoshi won at mario party.

oh, and yvonne and i picked up her friend, hillary, from the airport. while we were waiting, we went to 7-11 and i almost exploded with excitement. i wanted everything, but settled on grape juice, and 5 - 5¢ candies. mostly licorice ones, so as not to totally f up my stomach again. and i bought a scratch ticket, because it looked good. it wasn't. but it looked good.

pizza

i am soooo desperate for pizza. i have not had real food (more than 2 pieces of toast) since friday. but i think today's the day. pizza. and peach squashing, what could be better? very little.

down with peaches

okay, for the second time in my life, i was so bored last night, i played a game of supermario party by myself. it's not so party when you're doing it alone. anyway, i was well ahead until the last couple of turns when peaches stole one of my stars, and tonnes of coins. that was right after mario stole a star. i think you should get a bonus star if you've had the most stars in a game.

also, i hate peaches so much, that i've been avoiding the peach mango popsicles in my freezer.

down with peaches. up with yoshi!

wade

wade called me today! this is nice because it's always fun to hear from him, and since i haven't left my house, it's nice to have some kind of contact.

his girlfriend moved out today. it's sad, but she was controlled by her parents anyway, so he's better off without her. if i'm going to move to california, i'd say now's pretty much my chance. i would (as rachel and i have discussed) probably become an alcoholic. but i guess things could be worse!

wade was on his way to retail therapy. when we were there, he was talking about these gucci sunglasses so we had to try them on at neiman marcus. they looked great. today he went to nordstrom to pick them up. if only there were a furla store nearby. he could have picked up a bag for me. :oD

anyway, wade could have solved the problem of where to go for a roadtrip. it's looking like lake tahoe. possibly in july/august. anyone interested? it'll be a wicked trip. and it's closer and way less trashy than vegas.

yay!

my friend sean just msg'd me. he is going to try to come to vancouver in may. he's going to alaska and will try to make his flight through vancouver.

also mentioned, was planning a road trip this summer. he said he has lots of vacation time, and i just have to tell him when and where! yahoo. now i have something to plan for!

scottish medicine

so, i'm starting to feel better. i had toast today.

and i've been watching curling. because the scottish team is playing, and i really enjoy them discussing their moves. it's the hottest curling i've seen in a while. thank you CBC. also, except for one guy, their whole team is super-cute! they may not be winning, but they're adorable.

maybe that's too much excitement for me. time to rest.

mario wins

hmph. thanks to yvonne, who kindly braved the den of disease (who wants to make out) to make me broth and bring me popsicles. popsicles are juice. frozen. they're allowed. also thank to yvonne, mario won tonight. jerk. :oD the good news is peaches had to run off with wario. heh heh! last place peaches!!!

maybe tomorrow i can have toast... that would be exciting.

sick day 5 billion

so, i went to the doctor's today. apparantly it's a good thing i've been keeping up my fluids because otherwise they give you an IV for what ails me (haemorrhoids-i like how the kiwis spell it). anyway, i'm on T3s (the stupid walk-in clinic has stock in tylenol, i think) and a strick diet of grape juice, and salty broths... oh and 7 up. soon i will graduate to toast, applesauce and rice. i am not allowed to use heavy machinery ("don't drive a car or lawnmower, cause the T3s will make you drowsy"). and absolutely NO dairy. what else? ummm... i can't remember... i think the rhoids are affecting my memory. oh, i bought popsicles, and i should have gone with something familiar... these ones suck.

off to lay down.

and p.s.

i agree with yvonne, sick days and birthdays should not happen together, unless you're playing hooky because of a birthday.

happy birthday danielle!

if possible

i feel way worse today than yesterday. i thought i was getting cured yesterday. it may be time to see a doctor.

i am so sick

how can one person be so prone to disease? beats me.

i woke up this morning super confused. when i saw the time, i thought the microwave had gone forward by itself, because it seemed too late. but then i turned on my computer, and now i think my computer did, but my microwave didn't.

yesterday was worse. maybe i'm getting better. i tried to go to work but had this moment where i was sitting down, but could feel myself passing out. i went home after that.

thank you for medicine and popsicles yvonne.

i need to lay down.

the pizza guy

the story i forgot

last week... oh, actually going on two weeks ago now, i picked up yvonne, and we were headed to get anghold to go bra shopping. we were turning left off commercial to her street when there was this guy crossing. and totally taking his time. like really really taking his time.

anyway, of course, i was running late, and his actions were pissing me off... i clearly have not been able to reach the point of realisation where i can truly accept that it is not other people's actions, but your own reactions that will prevent you from reaching nirvana and act accordingly, because i was in my car, and i made a somewhat growling noise/ughing noise of frustration followed with a yell of: guy!!! he totally looked at us, and i swear went slower, despite my: oh sure, go ahead smile. so, we picked up ang, and as i was turning onto commercial there he was again! and he recognised us! i believe i said/yelled: not this guy again! anyway, it was soooooo f'ing funny. yvonne and i were in stitches. i felt like i'd done some major crunches.

yoshi wins again!

i was supposed to work tonight, but things got changed around (thank you jeebus, cause i'm getting sick). so tonight, d and i went for dinner and then played mario party. oh and the crowning moment? watching the edge of reason... where we mooned over mark darcy and loved/hated daniel cleaver.

things got so messed at work, i didn't end up getting a break, so by the time danielle got to the store i was starving. oh how i love soy burgers.

anyway, early night for me i guess, nyquil and bed. oh sweet bed. also, i would like a massage, and am willing to barter for this service.

search words: furla bag shopping

someone came to my blog because of these words! whoever you are, let's go shopping!!!

i'm tired today. and i'm getting sick. i couldn't fall asleep last night. i should have gone to bed at 8, like i was going to, but i thought i should stick it out until a decent time, so i would get up normally. ugh.

i think i want a job where it doesn't matter if i come in or not. well, maybe that would make me feel useless, but at least i would have sick days. or mental health days.

today is work and then the gem show in abbotsford.
