ahhhhhhh i'm such a wreck during exam week!!!!! someone please tell me i will do fine. thanks.

Easter Monkey

(don't worry, we got it out of her mouth the second it went in there!!!)

ta freaking da

i watch the office, and i found it particularly funny last night. thats where my title comes from. i also enjoyed, "dwight, you ignorant slut" and it was so darn funny that they said it twice for my viewing pleasure. hilarious! so if i ever say that to you, and insert your name in for dwight, do not be offended. just laugh, because i am sure that i will be laughing too.

it's friday friends! and its payday. blessed payday.

it's also friday the 13th. spooky. the first spooky thing that happened to me this morning was that i dropped my banana on the ground. what does this mean? what are the cosmos trying to tell me? i do wonder.

the second spooky event - the police called me. then they sent their best looking officer to come to my office to have me sign something. hot damn. haha. i've always wanted to say that and i felt that was a good place for it.

that's it for spooky events thus far. do tell me your friday the 13th story if you do have one.

last night i hosted the first bbq of the year! jeff called me and told me he wanted to bbq for supper and so we went and got a couple terriaki steaks. we had a couple extra, so i promply called my lovely dating friends, lynnel and denver, and we supped together. we had steaks, a huge garden salad, a vegetable melody, potato salad and fresh buns. lynnel and denny brought a homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie (technically homemade but purchased from mystic java) and though we didn't let it settle long enough after coming out of the oven, it was outstanding. NOW i know why you always see pictures of pies sitting on the counter all steamy and delicious looking. they need a few minutes to settle so they aren't runny! ah ha! that makes so much sense. but it didn't matter what it looked like. it still tastes the same. so we had a good night, watched some hockey (go flames, right lynnel?!) and some other thurs night tv shows, i.e. the office, 30 rock and my name is earl. good friends, good times.

horray horrah for 21 degrees tomorrow!

that's all for now!

6 weird things

Gina has tagged me

"Here are the rules: Each player of this game starts with the 'six weird things about me' blog post. People who get tagged need to write their own six weird things post and state the rules clearly. At the end of the post, tag six more people and don’t forget to leave a comment on their blog to tell them they have been tagged and tell them to read your blog."

1. i rarely finish all the food off my plate. there is ALWAYS a bit left, sometimes just a bite or two. i guess my mother never implemented the "you have to eat everything off your plate" rule. that's impolite weird.

2. i am slightly afraid in movie theatres when all the lights go out. i always think someone is gonna hijack the place and kill us all in the dark. seriously. the thought passes quickly but i almost always think it! that's morbid weird.

3. i constantly buy scrapbooking stuff. i never scrapbook except for ONE page i did in September. i literally have hundreds of dollars worth of paper, stickers, books, a mega piece of freaking LUGGAGE to haul my stuff around, etc., etc. but i can't stop buying the stuff for it. just today i bought 4 packages of "spring" stickers. looooooooser weird.

4. since grade 5, i have washed my face EVERY morning and EVERY night with the exception of maybe 5 times (due to camping and all-nighters). i am compulsively disordor-ly obssessedly weird with washing my face.

5. whenever i am introducing someone i always momentarily blank on the name of who i'm introducting and then i freak that i got the name wrong. i do this all the time, unless i know you really well. i don't think i've ever gotten a name wrong, so i don't really know where this fear comes from.

6. i have one white eyelash. freaky weird.

i tag... YOU (if you haven't already done it. i seem to be the last!)

The Junos....

rocked.











what you saw on television does not compare to what was seen/felt/experienced live. the performances were so so so good. nelly furtado and dallas green - amazzzzzing.
