It's that season again...

My sister and I have started a count of how many wedding invitations we have so far:

Cyn - 2
Me - 2*

As soon as I turned 20 it was like "wham!" everyone's getting married. Just plain craziness. Even my old prom date from high school is tying the knot in the fall.

I guess it only goes downhill from here...:P

Learn the amazing Japanese art of folding t-shirts here. (My sister mastered it in 2 min!)

Office 2007 Sneak Peak video, click here.

Sancus Real video for new song, here.

What grade 11 Commtech taught me:

1. learning radio frequencies is rather boring
2. it shouldn't take 2 months worth of classes to make a music video - then again we used an old school camera that required a VHS tape.
3. I know the entire lyrics to "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind. See item #2
   
4. claymation is fun - even when no one in the class found our video funny but us. Yah for superhero "Frenchy McFry"! (wish I could find the final product!)
   
5. my career idea of radio was crushed after recording myself broadcasting.
   

A Dutch man has taken out bank loans to build a $1.2M replica of Noah's ark. The ark is one-fifth the size of the original vessel, and the man plans to open it as a religious museum and zoo ...

"This will speak very much to children, because it will give them something tangible to see that Noah's Ark really existed.."

Hmmm, what's next? Rebuilding of the tower of Babel?

Good way to start off a week with Things You Said!

K: "M, do you still need 'powerzone pdf'?"
M: "No, that printed off"
K: "What about 'searching for true love'?"
M: "Uh, no."
K: "'Hot Italian Guys pdf'?"
M: "Uh haa, haa. You are so not funny K!"

K: "M, you can come by my desk to smell my tea"
M: *grumbles* "Just because I made one comment, I'll never live it down" *

K: "M likes fruity smelling guys"

*Last week I commented on the nice fruity aroma coming from K's cup - this fine smelling tea is known as Ginko Belova. Apparently saying something nice about someone's beverage is odd and worthy of mocking.

From last week:

F: "What's with the gorMET lunches? Pizza and wraps?!?"

The count is so on!

2 for 414 possible days.

I should consider myself quite blessed with this amount of kindness.



Hee, hee. :)

What defines having roots? And since when is marriage the first step to having a life?

(and thanks M.P. for fueling my post for this evening)

I've lost inspiration. For some reason I'm feeling post-less lately.

I need blog worthy material!! Care to give me some suggestions?

(and an image)

I am getting increasingly frustrated with my lack of vocal range. Gah! Is it too much to ask for my voice back?

K: "I like listening to you talk right now"
M: "It's not fun, it's frustrating!"
C: " You should ask her lots of questions"
K: "So what'd you do this weekend?"
M: *sticks out tongue*

Interesting fact: one of my friends is sick with the exact same thing and it happened at the same time too, odd especially since we haven't seen each other since January. Strange I tell ya, strange. :)

So ends another weekend.

Spend Saturday morning at my parents house going thru papers I kept from my childhood - a humbling experience to read who I was back then.

In the evening I headed out to Wingham to chill with my best friend Pam and what a fantastic time it was!! We went down to the local pub for some munchies/drinks and to chat it up. I miss the small town life - or lack there of, couldn't believe how dead the downtown was at 10pm - where was everyone? Easy answer - hockey game! My dad had come with me so he could go watch the Ironmen play and actually ended up picking me up (from Pam's) in a break between OT. I actually went back to the arena with him and watched 2 more periods of overtime - I so miss watching "live" hockey on Saturday nites. The Ironmen lost 5-4 at 15:47 in the third period of overtime. :(

The downer of the weekend is that my cold (if we should call it that) has gotten worse. I've had a sore throat for a couple days and by last nite I was in a lot of pain and my voice pretty much is gone. Do you know how hard it is to not talk?? Gah! Tomorrow is gonna be fun, well for other people that will make fun of me...ah well. I'll survive.

Also got my hair hacked off again after a 6 month lapse of getting it cut. I am really gettin attached to straight hair...it was lovely.

"I can now do the hair swoosh thing"
*turns head to flip hair gracefully*

Time to get pumped full of meds and hit the hay.

T: "Hello my fellow earthling...are you wearing green today?"
M: "Yes I'm wearing green pants but didn't notice until I got to work"
T: So you brushed up against some wet paint then eh?"
M: "No I stepped on a leprechaun."
T: "That's sad."

M: "J, you need to stop being so polite."
J: "So I should more obnoxious like you?!?"
M: "Ouch"

C: "Can I see your eyes? Yup, still not feeling well"
I always thought eyes were the window to your soul, not your sickness...

J: "I heard that K..er, um the photocopier is on the fritz"

E: "Sandy Claus and Chris Mouse?"
M: "it's so cheese"
E: "that's funny"
M: "cheese! ha, ha I just got my own joke. Man I'm slow"

K: "I don't want to be on your stinky ladder"

TYS quote from a while back:

M: "Stupid piece of crap!" (in reference to a broken umbrella)
F: "I thought you were talking about C."
M: "Well that's a given..."

My sister Christina is moving home this summer!! Oh how I miss her!!

My next pair of glasses:

What the office sounds like today:

*hack*
*hack*

*cough*

*hack*

*honk*

Oh, the sweet sounds of germs flying thru the air at terrifying speeds. Breath in oh, delicious air of sickness....

So it seems as tho I may have made a social life for myself to some extent. It's been a busy last couple of weekends (well Sundays anyways). Last wkend it was dinner and a movie with a friend. Now today I had a Young Adults lunch at Heather's - it was good! Got to chat with some others my age (from church) and get to know them. Then I went skating with Dee - I love skating! Also had dinner with her, Elisha and my old roomie Chris (dinner compliments of him).

Feels so good to busy and have friends to chill with. *grins*

P.S. Looking forward to hanging with my best bud next weekend!

Look! She's all growed up!

I still remember when she was little..

with her blonde bob cut hair...

her toothy grin..

and her nose always stuck in a book.

She's my little sister who is growing up so quickly before my very eyes. She's probably gonna beat me up for posting this but *grins* I'm doing it anyways!

It's kinda crazy to look back and remember growing up together and how much our relationship has changed - quite dramatic but definitely for the better - we actually get along! *gasp* (Since we used to fight all the time, ask my older sisters). She's my sister but also my friend....

I love my little Ivan.

It's Thursday.

There I posted.

Deep thoughts coming later.

Must stop talking to myself especially in a room by myself with others close enough to overhear.
