Hi Everyone!
I just ate my first Big Mac. I know, how did avoid eating one until now?
1. hamburger patties from McDonalds aren't made from meat
2. condiments, such as "special sauce" are wrong
3. chicken nuggets are yummy (or at least they were before they went healthy and switched to all white meat)
Anyways, I had a coupon for a free Big Mac (no strings attached) and I didn't feel like cooking tonight. After taking off the pickle/sauce layer, I ate it. It didn't taste too bad (considering the price) although I don't know how you keep the lettuce from falling out.
Have a great day!

I can't believe I'm at my computer...
Hi Everyone!
It's a gorgeous Saturday evening, and yet here I am typing. It's been such a busy few weeks that this was the first chance I had to catch everyone up.
Had a great visit with Amy and her friends. They saw the rodeo on Thursday and I met them on the grounds after work.
On Friday afternoon was a corporate stampede party that a lot of people from work went to. The office closed early and it was a lot of fun. It was rather hot though so I only stayed for about 4 hours and ended up switching from beer to water. Later that night, a friend of mine wanted to go out for drinks so we ended up drinking Belgium beer until rather late.
Saturday morning, tired and a little hung over, I had part one of my bike course. It was really interesting, especially about gearing. Basically, your legs should go at the same amount of revolutions (called a "cadence") no matter what gear you're in. I've notice since that I'm less tired after biking. That night was Transformers - a great movie and I can't wait for the dvd.
Sunday was the pancake breakfast at church. Monday & Tuesday were rest days. Wednesday was watching Harry Potter with a friend. It was interesting enough but I wouldn't have seen it except for the invite.
Thursday night I went out for ice-cream with a friend, followed by Vietnamese, a visit to MEC and we ended up drinking beer all night at the park. Yes, I know it was illegal but it was really nice to sit in the shade by the water, relax and have some great conversation. I stayed out way past my bedtime but I think it was worth it. Yesterday, after work, I had a 3 hour nap and felt much better.
I had the second part of my bike course today and I managed to go up the first steep hill near the golf course for the first time, riding. This was one of my goals for the summer. Basically, there is a winding, long hill that goes through a greenspace beside the golfcourse that leads down to the river. Then, along the side of the golf course is another hill - steeper but shorter. My new goal will be to bike up both hills by the end of the summer, with a quick breather between hills. We did a 4 hour bike ride and stopped at the farmer's market. Now that I know how to get there, I'll be visiting again the future. I've got lots to do around the apartment this weekend - cleaning, laundry, etc.
Tomorrow, I'm helping with coffee at church and I'm planning to visit the Kensington Sun & Salsa (food) Festival. I'm not a big salsa fan but it should be interesting for the people watching.
It's been a long, fun-filled few weeks and I'm looking forward to catching up on my sleep. This week, I'm going out for coffee, watching Hairspray, potentially visiting the outdoors and helping at church again next Sunday. I also have homework to do as class starts in a couple weeks.
No new roommate yet but I have a few leads. I'll let you know how things goes.
Have a great day!

What a week it's been
Hi Everyone!
It's Sunday morning and I'm skipping church today. I've been up since 7am but I'll explain everything in a few moments.
It's been a super-busy weekend and next week's looking very busy as well. On Wednesday, I went to a free bike maintenance course at MEC. I learned (and did) change a tire - well, actually, I removed my tire & tube, learned how to patch and how to get everything back to normal. I also learned how to fix a broken chain. It was very interesting and I felt very proud of myself when I was done.
On Thursday, I had a hair appointment (my roots are gone) and then Corey (friend from Edmonton) and Kelly (her boyfriend) came down for a visit.
Friday morning was the Stampede parade so we walked downtown, watched for about an hour (it's pretty long so I think we watched about 3/4 of it), went to Prince's Island for a picnic and then I went to work while they went to the rodeo. Met up with them after work and we toured the Stampede grounds. It was a lot of fun.
On Saturday, we went to the zoo. Hooray! I've accomplished my travel goals for 2007 and it was very interesting. Relaxed in the afternoon.
They left early this morning and I've been relaxing in my pjs, drinking caramel lattes all morning. I really enjoyed having guests and the furry family were well behaved.
Next week, cousin Amy and her friends will be here for Stampede for a couple days. I start my bicycle communter/maintenance course next Saturday (2 Saturdays), am going to the movies (Transformers) Saturday night and will be cooking sausage for the church pancake breakfast next Sunday.
This afternoon, I'm going with a couple friends to watch La Vie En Rose - a french biography on Edith Piliaf (unsure of spelling).
Lisa has also given me her notice. She's getting married in November and will be moving out at the end of the month. I've put up a couple postings online but so far haven't heard anything. It's still pretty early though. I've asked my landlady's son to call me concerning the lease. It's up at the beginning of September and I'm wanting to find out if they're renewing it (I don't see any reason why they wouldn't) and how much the rent increase will be (the average 2 bedroom rent is a little over 1200/mo and I'm only paying 700).
Anyways, I should probably get dressed and run some errands. It's cool today and overcast. I'll do some laundry anyways.

Ah... no more school!
Hi Everyone!
Got my final papers e-mailed to my professor minutes before the deadline (not that they're all that strict on that). I had problems focusing last night and couldn't get my thoughts together until about 9pm. I ended up going to bed shortly before 4 this morning but I'm not all that tired and my work (when I read it later today) was surprisingly understandable.
I was planning to go to the movies tonight but that's been tentatively moved to Friday.
I have some tidying and homey things to do tonight and I'll get a proper night's sleep.
Have a great day!

Funny Cartoon
Hi Everyone!
This was in the paper yesterday and I found it very funny. The cartoon is called "Pearls Before Swine".
1. Picture - there's a donkey wearing yellow with polka dots boxer shorts, sitting on a purple couch watching tv. There are several crumpled cans laying on the floor and he has one in his hand. His dialog box says "I like beer". Another dialog says "Ding Dong!"
Above caption - Danny Donkey sat a home in his underwear and drank beer. The doorbell rang.
2. Picture - 2 men wearing ties, 1 (balding) is holding a clip board. The other has an orange afro. Danny is at the door, holding his beer with dialog box "?"
Above caption - "Help save the planet," said the people at his door. "Huh?" said Danny Donkey.
3. Picture - close-up of the two men
Above caption - "Sign a petition. Attend a rally. Display a bumper sticker."
4. Picture - as described in 2
Above caption - "I would like to sit at home in my underwear and drink beer," said Danny Donkey.
5. Picture - as described in 3
Above caption - "But what does that accomplish?" asked the people.
6. Picture - close up of Danny
Above caption "The beer that I am holding will go from fully to empty," said Danny Donkey, "and I will be happy."
7. Picture - as described in 2 but this time the men are crying. The balding man's dialog box says "Forgive us Danny Donkey". Danny's dialog box says, "Urp"
Above caption - And at that, the people wept, for they realized the genius that was Danny Donkey.
8. Picture - goat holding a script "You are not gonna put this in a children's book". Mouse with a pencil behind his ear "But it's about redemption." Pig crying "I am so moved."

A Lazy Day
Hi Everyone!
I love long weekends - I've lazed around, stayed nice and scruffy and have gotten several things done around the house. The sad news in my household is that 2 of my fish died last week - one big gold fish and my small gold fish. On Saturday, I went to Walmart and got 4 new fish. They're called platies. I have 2 bright orange with black tails, one grey spotted, and one light yellow/orange.
I'm trying to get the motivation to finish my final papers. They're due tomorrow but my professor has indicated we can e-mail them to her. As for school, I start Interpreting the Bible on August 2 (which means homework in July) and Counselling Theory on August 22. This means a two week overlap. The school will give me the course books ahead of time so I can do the homework for one class and not have the double work load during that time period. After that, I'm not sure how long I have off (hopefully a couple weeks but I'd rather not have an entire month off) but the next course should be Church History.
Got my final mark for my Psychology course - I got a B (but I forget what that is in a percentage).
Out of boredom one day, I check the Starbucks website for the nutritional value for my favourite indulgence - a tall dulce de leche latte (A delicious combination of the classic Latin American milk caramel, Dulce de Leche, with 'Starbucks' signature espresso and freshly steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and a dusting of toffee sprinkles). It has 370 calories, 14 g fat, 44 g sugar and 35% of your recommended intake of Calcium. It's healthy for you!
Missed the fireworks last night. They were suppose to last for 15 minutes but in reality it was a little over 5. I heard them and went rushing to the park so I could see them but by the time I got there, they were done. The Calgary Tower flame was burning though (lots of money to do that) and you could see an orange haze around downtown. I'll see fireworks for Stampede however - they do a show after each night and they're pretty spectacular.
Watch a hilarious South Park episode. It was a Terrance & Phillip movie called, "Not Without My Anus". For those who don't know South Park, Terrance & Phillip are Canadian actors whose routine consists of fart jokes. Anyways, it takes place in Canada. Scott (a film critic) doesn't think their fart jokes are funny and he wants to kill them. Saddam Hussein calls him up (he often appears in the show) and offers to get rid of them, in exchange for him and his friends being able to visit Canada.
Anyways, Terrance receives a letter saying his daughter (mother is Celine Dion) has been kidnapped in Iran. To summarize, there's KD jokes, Celine Dion, a CFL game between the Ottawa Roughriders and the Vancouver Roughriders and lots more fart jokes. Saddam's plan to take over Canada is foiled by everyone in Canada Stadium farting at the same time (they're wearing gas masks so they're not affected). The national anthem is sung twice (and there were only a few word changes and nothing was rude). All in all - I found it really funny. I wonder though if it was shown in the United States. There are so many Canadianisms that I don't know if they would get all the jokes.
Anyways, I have to finish tidying the apartment and write those papers. I have a busy week ahead of me - movie on Tuesday, a bicycle maintenance course on Wednesday, hair appointment on Thursday and Stampede starting on Friday (well, it starts Thursday night but officially starts on Friday).
Have a great day!

Dr Who is back!
Hi Everyone!
Hee-hee! Dr. Who is back - I watched the new episode last night. It was quirky as usual and I'm excited about what they will do with the new companion, Martha. I can't wait for next week! It's too bad the dvds are so expensive.
Anyways, just got home from class and I'm heading to bed.

Seasonal allergies - yuck!
Hi Everyone!
Just came back from movie night - saw "Ocean's 13". I would normally rent this rather than see it in theatre but it'd been a while since I went out with my movie group. After, we went to a nice pub where there was live music. Met some interesting people that I plan to chat with again.
My allergies have been terrible for the past couple weeks. I switched medication to Aerius yesterday and already I am feeling better. I have a super runny nose, sore throat/cough (from post-nasal drip) and my eyes water. It's rather uncomfortable. Yesterday I had a terrible headache and had troubles concentrating at work. One of my co-workers gave me a hug because I looked so miserable. I needed it. I walked home, took more medication for my headache and ate some ice-cream. Since that didn't help, I crawled into my pjs and went to bed. 17 hours later, I felt so much better.
Tomorrow (or I guess today but looking at my clock) is the Sunday School picnic. I also have some tidying and homework to do. It's been cool and rainy for the past week and it's supose to last until Wednesday. Assembled a bicycle repair kit on Wednesday courtesy of the super-friendly staff at MEC and I will be taking a free basic repair class on the 4th down there. I also got a bright yellow coat and reflective vest so cars will see me better. I also discovered an easy way to get to work from the parking lot via the +15s (covered walkways linking office buildings). It will make it slightly quicker than my usual outdoor walking route.
Anyways, I'm getting sleepy...

A quick happy note
Hi Everyone!
I passed my exam - 66.7%. I'm happy with the mark as I didn't put as much effort into it as I should have. Got my garden planted on the weekend.
Have some homework to catch up on so I'll write a proper entry later in the week.

Happy Birthday to Me!
Hi Everyone!
I know I'm a day late wishing myself a "Happy Birthday!" but I'm taking a break tonight before bed.
It's been a great few weeks. Here's an update since my last posting:
-someone stole my credit card online. This would normally be very bad but MC called me, wiped out all the weird charges immediately and since that card wasn't linked to any bank accounts I still feel comfortable shopping on-line.
-won a garden plot for this summer. I entered a Helman's mayonaise (I know I don't like mayonaise but that wasn't a requirement in the contest). I had to write a 150 word essay (hee-hee) on why I wanted a garden plot. I was one of 12 winners in Calgary and get my 8'x5' plot next Saturday to plant vegetables.
-got my bicycle! Finally! It's vey cute and has a detachable basket in case I want to bring it into the grocery store (or load it up with vegies from my garden!) I've ridden it a couple times this week to work and it's very nice.
-going to have visitors! I received an e-mail from Aunt Jean about an upcoming Halliday visit in June. I'm very excited, even if it's only a short visit
-finished my psychology quizes and research project tonight. My exam's on Saturday and although I'm not prepared for it, I'll be studying tomorrow over my lunchbreak
-tried Starbuck's Dulce con Leche latte. Yummy!
-made some fabulous new recipies. Two Sundays ago I made roast chicken (a real chicken and fresh herbs) and last Sunday was minestrone soup using real parmesean rind and proscuitto for seasoning.
-found a place that repairs heels. My wonderful brown heels had the end wore down to the metal and they were able to put new rubber on it so I no longer slide on tile flooring
Anyways...my birthday. I turned 29 (for the first time) and although I was feeling a bit old at the beginning of May, I'm o'kay with it. It's because when I was a little girl, I had all these plans I was going to do before I was thirty. This included: a university degree (or at least done all my schooling), a house, a car, a husband (but no children-that was always optional), a dog, and a career. I don't have any of this list but I like my life and it's been interesting so far. There's been a lot of changes over the past year:
-moved apartments
-got a roommate
-became a blonde (and I just got my photos back so when Mom scans it and sends me the file I'll post it
-changed jobs
-went back to school
-wemt from "bad" cook to getting better" cook
-got a mode of transportation
-had someone from Chesley visit me in Calgary
-got a tattoo
-bought a real watch with hands on it
-joined a movie group (and hence, now have a social life)
-bought a professional wardrobe
-went to Edmonton (the furthest North I've ever been)
Anyways, on Saturday, after my exam and a visit to Hassan (my wonderful hair stylist), I'm taking myself out for dinner. I think I'll go to the Greek restaurant on the corner where I went for Thanksgiving. I like to treat myself (and by myself) to a nice meal and glass of wine on my birthday. Had a free mini-facial and make-up session from Shiseido, where I usually get my make-up, today. It felt very nice and relaxing.
It's bedtime for me and the caffeine from the coffee is wearing off. I'll post on Sunday to let you know how the exam went.
Have a great day!

-made some fabulous new recipies. Two Sundays ago I made roast chicken (a real chicken and fresh herbs) and last Sunday was minestrone soup using real parmesean rind and proscuitto for seasoning.
-found a place that repairs heels. My wonderful brown heels had the end wore down to the metal and they were able to put new rubber on it so I no longer slide on tile flooring
Anyways...my birthday. I turned 29 (for the first time) and although I was feeling a bit old at the beginning of May, I'm o'kay with it. It's because when I was a little girl, I had all these plans I was going to do before I was thirty. This included: a university degree (or at least done all my schooling), a house, a car, a husband (but no children-that was always optional), a dog, and a career. I don't have any of this list but I like my life and it's been interesting so far. There's been a lot of changes over the past year:
-moved apartments
-got a roommate
-became a blonde (and I just got my photos back so when Mom scans it and sends me the file I'll post it
-changed jobs
-went back to school
-wemt from "bad" cook to getting better" cook
-got a mode of transportation
-had someone from Chesley visit me in Calgary
-got a tattoo
-bought a real watch with hands on it
-joined a movie group (and hence, now have a social life)
-bought a professional wardrobe
-went to Edmonton (the furthest North I've ever been)
Anyways, on Saturday, after my exam and a visit to Hassan (my wonderful hair stylist), I'm taking myself out for dinner. I think I'll go to the Greek restaurant on the corner where I went for Thanksgiving. I like to treat myself (and by myself) to a nice meal and glass of wine on my birthday. Had a free mini-facial and make-up session from Shiseido, where I usually get my make-up, today. It felt very nice and relaxing.
It's bedtime for me and the caffeine from the coffee is wearing off. I'll post on Sunday to let you know how the exam went.
Have a great day!

Job News!
Hi Everyone!
I was offered a permanent position with Akita today and accepted it. I'm very happy! The pay's slightly more, there's benefits and I get my 1 hour lunch break. The agency didn't pay for lunch so I only took 1/2 hour to get my 40 hours. It's a huge relief to have this - plus they're a great company to work for and my co-workers are nice.
Anyways, May's been rather busy. I'm spending the weekend finishing my psychology and have my exam on the 26th.
Have a wonderful day!

Psychology
Hi Everyone!
No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth - I've just not wanted to be near a computer for the past week or so!
Been working on psychology all weekend. My mind's had a whole bunch of info crammed into it so I'm keeping this short. As soon as I finish writing, I switch to ABC homework.
Have a great day!

I'm blonde!
Hi everyone!
Yesterday was an exciting day. I went to the hair salon and came out blonde. Hassan, my stylist mentioned the last time I was in if I had ever thought about going blonde. I said "No". I've been many other colours and I've had blonde highlights before but I never thought I could pull it off.
Anyways, several months later, I decided to go for it. I found a great new style (short again) and told Hassan my plan. He was wonderful! I still had a few red highlights in from the fall so he had to bleach my hair before applying the colour. It was rather funny to see my hair after that - it reminded me of Aunt Viola's hair from when I was a kid. He then applied the colour. I only told him "blonde" and told him to choose the right tone/shade for me.
It turned out amazing. When he bleached my hair, he deliberately made some parts darker and some lighter so when he applied the colour, I ended up with highlights without highlighting. It's a rich golden blonde that works well with my eyebrows and skin complexion. Altogether, I was in the salon for about two and a bit hours.
I'll post pictures as soon as I have them developed.
That afternoon, I went with my movie group to see "Grindhouse". Basically, it's a double feature of horrid "B" movies. There are pretend trailers between the movies and altogether it's about three hours long. The first was a zombie movie and the second was a car chase movie. Not the sort of movies I would normally see but since they were suppose to be bad, they were really funny. I would recommend seeing them but be prepared to suspend reality/physics/logic throughout the movies. As well, "sensitive" viewers might find them offensive - there's a reason why they're rated "R". Went out for beer and wings after. It was a lot of fun.
Today is a lovely spring day - warmish and fresh. I've got lots of homework and household chores to do.
Have a great day!

Happy Easter!
Hi Everyone!
I likely won't have time before Easter to write again so here are my early greetings. I attended the Good Friday service today, have the labyrinth tomorrow, and the sunrise & regular services on Sunday. We've got three choir pieces, including the "Halleluia" chorus. It should be challenging but fun. I was rather tired today and ended up having a 4 hour nap.
Needless to say, I've got a lot things I need to do tonight. I'm currently waiting for hot-crossed buns to come out of the oven so I can put the next batch in. I've only got room for 8 buns/cookie sheet so it's a time consuming process. I'm glazing them with maple syrup this year (rather than corn syrup) and used dried cranberries cherries and blueberries rather than raisins. I had an uncrossed one and I've got to say - it was yummy! I'll eat a proper one for all of you.
Congratulations to my friends Sarah & Greg! They just announced their engagement and I'm very happy for them.
It's cold and snow here - the warm weather's on the other side of the mountains but it should be here in a few days.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend. Hopefully, you'll have a chance for quiet reflection. If not, eat lots of chocolate and bounce off the walls because of the sugar.

I have a social life!
Hi Everyone!
I stayed out until 11pm last night! After work, I went to the meet-up group to watch "The Lives of Others" (Oscar foreign-language winner). The projector was broken so we ended up seeing "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" (Cannes winner). I still don't know what to think of it - it's Irish and it can be difficult to understand what's being said because of some very strong accents. As well, it was a thinking movie and I'm still working out what the director was trying to bring across. If you want to see it, I'd wait until it's in the cheap rental section - and don't watch it if your tired.
There was 6 of us and after the movie, we went to the strangest Irish pub I've every been in. I found out today that it's owned by the same person who owns "Cowboys" (a notorious bar where the servers are "encouraged" to be well-rounded). There were only three Irish beers on tap and about 6 domestic. There was pop/dance music playing and the hockey game was on tv. The only thing I saw in common with other pubs I've been in was the amount of wood and the fireplaces. It's been a while since I've had a Kilkenny and it was rather tasty - although I was looking for a nice cream ale.
Anyways, I had a wonderful time. We're rescheduling the movie again for next week so I have another event planned in my social calender. I'm almost giddy at the thought...
I'm rather tired now and I think I need a good night's sleep. I don't know how many of these late nights I can handle! :-)
Have a great day!

Christine's Birthday
Hello Everyone!
Today is Christine's birthday. I was feeling a bit old at work as I still remember the day she was born. She was on the top of my "Monday" list. I planned to call her shortly after getting home but...
While walking the final block home from the bus stop, I could smell someone barbequeing. This led me to crave pork chops with bbq sauce and french fries. This is not a normal sort of craving. I had the pork but went to Walmart to pick up the rest of the ingredients. Still thinking about food, I ate supper, which was delicious. The next thing I know, it's almost 7:30! (or 9:30 Ontario time). I spoke with Dawn who said Christine has already been in bed for an hour. I'll call her tomorrow right after work. It's weird - this was the first year I either didn't see her or talk with her on her birthday. Stupid time zones.
Anyways, it was a lovely day and we're suppose to get a huge storm overnight/tomorrow. Lots of snow and wind. I'm starting to feel the temperature drop.
Not in the mood for typing - Have a great day!

A New Adventure...
Hi Everyone!I walked home on Friday to see how long it'd take. It was 1 hour and 7 minutes in sem-practical shoes. I kept watching people zoom by me on their bicycles when it dawned on me that it's now practical for me to get one. At my previous apartment, I was on top of a large hill so it didn't matter what direction I was coming from, I always came home going up hill. At my new place, I'm near the bike path system that gives me access to most of the city.
I figured out pricing for a bike vs transit and decided an entry level bike was all I could afford. I know I could go to Walmart and get a $100 bike but I did that when I first got here and didn't like it - it was heavy, uncomforable and I couldn't get a rack or basket for it - wrong type of metal and it didn't have mounting posts. I went online and checked out different websites of bike shops in Calgary.
Today, I went to Ridley's in Kensington (trendy neighbourhood that's about a 30 minute walk away). I already knew I wanted a simple bike for commuting (paved bike paths and roads) that I could attach a basket, rack and lights. The assistant was really friendly and helpful. He showed me lots of options but we both thought the above bike (isn't it cute!) would work really well.
It's made by Trek and it's a cruiser bike called Calypso. It has 7 gears (I'm not using it in situations where I need a lot) and I can get all the assessories I want. At the store, they have free monthly classes to teach you about maintenance and repair (something I'll need as I have no clue) and free maintenance. I was pretty clueless - I wanted something simple but pretty and the assistant didn't look down on me for it. He explained that he was looking at this style for his girlfriend and to remember that "bikes are fun!" He encouraged me to find something I liked and was fun for me.
They didn't have any in stock (only a man's style) so they're going to order one in for me to try - with no obligation. As well, if I buy it and decide after a month it's not suitable, they'll accept it as a return and I can use the credit to get a different bike. Including the bike, accessories and tax, it will cost me 8 months of transit passes (or when you count the odd time I will be using transit - 10 months) and since Calgary doesn't get a lot of snow accumulation, you can basically bike all year. My commute is mostly side streets and city pathways and should take about 15-20 minutes (about the same as if I take transit). With the woman's style, I can still wear a skirt (I did this when biking in China) and it's designed for my body frame rather than the Walmart-style bike. As well, I'll get back into shape again - that walk on Friday really did me in!
I felt really great after leaving the store - I was listened to, informed about what I needed to know, felt that this was a store that cared about their customers and knew their business and most importantly, treated me with respect. It's like when a woman goes to a car dealership and the seller asks her "what colour she likes" rather than what model. The associate talked about model and features before I brought up its cute appearance.
Anyways, I'll let you know when it comes in and how the test drive goes...
It's a lovely day and I was able to walk in a short-sleeved shirt (maybe +15). Did some errands and cleaned the apartment a bit. Lisa stopped in after work so we had a nice chat. I also got more fish - one of these days, Walmart is going to stop selling them to me. I got 2 big goldfish because I figured they could handle themselves against psycho fish. Actually, all three are psycho so they're quite entertaining. The sole (ha-ha) little goldfish left is small enough to dodge and hide from the others. The catfish can also hold his own. He rarely moves from his rock tunnel but he's quick when he does.
Bought some daffodils today and already they're opening up - hooray for warm water and its wonders for blooms. I had bought some for work on Tuesday (raising money for the Cancer Society) and everyone commented on how lovely they were. They were so cheery that I decided to pick some up when I was grocery shopping.
We have a difficult choir piece tomorrow and 3 for Palm Sunday. They're pretty so I like the challenge. It'll be a busy Holy week - service on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, a labyrinth I'm helping to organize on Saturday, and Sunday.
For those (women) who remember Gramma Halliday making doilies - check out this website: http://koniakow.com/sklep_en.php. Not suitable for all eyes - it was mentioned in the newspaper and I think it's rather innovative...
As an aside, the newsletter I've been working on for The Townships Project has been published! It only took since September - fustrating but worthwhile in the long run.
I just remember the tea a made before turning on the computer is still steeping - I'd best go make a new pot.
Have a great day!

Murphy's Law
Hi Everyone!
I wrote too soon. I got home tonight to discover one of my fish has passed on "to the great ocean beyond."
Donated plasma last night - they've changed the clinic hours again so instead of my every three weeks, it's a very infrequent four weeks now. After I got home, I laid down on the futon for a quick nap (headache). Next thing I know, Whiskers is waking me up this morning for work. Felt surprisingly refreshed.
Alice Cooper was making fun of Pink Floyd last night. He couldn't figure out why a band that made sounds like that were named after two blues musicians. He hasn't gone into a big rant tonight but apparently he thinks Bon Jovi is a great band to see live (I knew there was a reason why I liked his show!).
I've got a busy week ahead of me - Thursday: choir, Friday: free, Saturday: focus group for Alberta Bible College, Sunday: church, Monday: free, Tuesday: movie. I'm going to watch "The Lives of Others". It's a German movie that won the Oscar for best foreign language film. I'm going with a group through "Meetup.com". It's a website where people with similar interests can get together. This particular group gets together to go to the cinema and then for drinks. It's playing at a "historical" theatre downtown so I'll go there after work (early show) and can easily catch transit for getting home.
Anyways, it's past my bedtime...
Have a great day!

Stupid Calgary weather
Hi Everyone!
It was so nice on Saturday that I was able to go for a walk in my green short-sleeved shirt. Overnight, it turned cold and there was a skiff of snow when I went to church.
I've been indulging in some "fluffy" music recently. This includes The Pusscat Dolls - PCD (fun for cleaning and dancing to when nobody's around) and Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics (I was rather surprised by the lyrics). I also picked up the Dixie Chicks (Taking the Long Way) and my super favourite indulgence - Meat Loaf (Bat out of Hell III). I'd be the first one to say he's an over-the-top, rock/opera style musician and I love it! He puts so much passion in his singing and I think that's missing in a lot of the music I hear today on the radio.
I also got some chick-flick movies - In Her Shoes (was pleasantly surprised at its depth and I've now ordered the book), She's The Man (fun, girl-power, Twelveth Night-based fluff) and The Devil Wears Prada (another pleasant surprise).
My tv watching has decreased - Dr. Who finished the 2nd season and I have no idea when the third is coming out. For anyone who hasn't watched the series (or the really old ones), it's light-hearted, fun, sci-fi pg watching. I've still got Jericho to watch and I hate its addicting quality. I can only see it run for a maximum of one more season because of its story line but I highly recommend it. It's based on the community of Jericho and what happens when some type of giant explosion changes their lives forever. Each show builds on the previous and you learn about what's happening at the same time as the citizens. It's an interesting look at how people can react in high-stress/survival situations (even though it's a fictional story).
I've been having good luck with the new fish - only one has died. They're quite active and I find myself getting distracted by them often.
Anyways, I've got a whole bunch of stuff to do before bed. I starting getting a headache mid afternoon (there's going to be another weather change according to where I felt it on my head) and I ended up having a 2 hour nap after work. I feel a lot better though and not that "fuzzy-head/cranky" feeling you get when you sleep for too long.
Have a great day!

Ice-cream
I now understand why Hagen-Dazs is so expensive...Wow!
cream, concentrated skim milk, sugar, liquid egg yolk, natural vanilla extract.
That's it - no chemicals I can't pronounce! Mind you, I did add unsalted peanuts (a new snack for me) and warm chocolate sauce to it. It was so good I had to leave my homework and sit on the futon to focus on its lovely taste.
