random ramble

i didn't get any kind of a worm this morning. but i did get a treat. rachel called from korea! yahoo! it was fun talking to her, since i only get a chance to chat online. she will probably stay at my condo (if it becomes mine) while i'm in europe. the good news about that is that then her dad can have lunch made for him while he does some renovations. unless i can con ian into doing some during his birthday month. :oD

i don't know how i do it, but today was my day off, and since i didn't have other plans, i just decided to work all day.

oh, i almost passed out at the gym! i don't know if i was too hot, or if it's this stupid cleanse (for which i only 6 days left, and i haven't cheated!) but in any case, i got dizzy and super hot suddenly and thenmy head pounded and i thought i was a goner. i held on though! YAY!!!

i also told lisa that i want to be done everything for the store by the end of next week. i can't handle it any more and am willing to tell her that.

good news: i bought some wicked wheat/dairy/sugar free stuff at capers today. i feel like the change in the type of rice i ate for dinner has really picked things up for me.

once again the trolley that allison and caleb got me has been of great service. i brought a girl at work who's traveling from england and currently has no money (she ate tomato soup for breakfast the other day) some food. lots of it. i felt so bad for her, and really, she's traveling. of course she doesn't have money. besides, whenever i travel people take us in and often feed and house us for free. it's what you do. anyway, i brought her wine, cheese and all of the wheat products in my house (like i'm gonna eat them), including proper cereal and stuff and she was like, i have nothing to give in return (like i care!). and later that day, vanessa brought her tonnes of canned and frozen stuff from her house too. it seemed only fitting that she had to use the gifted cart to take her food home. i want to make her and her boyfriend a wicked meal, but i'm doing this cleanse thing, and i really don't think that's much fun to eat around. in fact, i'm so bored of non-wheat products that i don't even want to eat around me.

which reminds me, she brought it (i need a name for my little cart!) back to the store. before i leave, i need that back! it's one of the most useful gifts. i can't believe they gave that up! i can totally see myself using it to go to the store in white rock! ha! they probably have parking for those things there. it's so full of old people... i'll fit right in!

i was talking to vanessa about going to lake tahoe and she said they might have access to a time share there...i think they are townhouses there. not just hotel rooms. actually we started talking about going to cancun on saturday, but i totally can't. i have commitments next week. otherwise, i would be there in a heartbeat. tanning and scuba diving. soooo wicked. anyway, get that thought out of my head. i have to focus on tahoe and europe. clearly i'm ready to go.

oh, and i no longer need to think about budgeting a pc into my future. jeffy introduced me to this other site that has carcasonne and settlers. AND it works for mac. so i need to get a better cushion for this chair! and i need to get a basket installed on my bike. i hate carrying fruit from granville island in a napsack.

and last but not least. stu delivered a package today! yay! thanks stu. you know who loves you, despite your lack of good gaming skills.
