So today is the last Friday that I’ll be under a quarter of a century old. I’m wondering if I should be going through the same crisis that I’ve seen others go through at the same time…(Tom Loewen). I’m not freaking out though…I’m ok with being a quarter of a century old.
I was reminded of a funny memory…possibly only to those involved, but it caused me to laugh out loud, so I figured I should share. Last night as Troy & I were driving home from Jack Astors, I saw one of those little tiny blue cars…I don’t even know if you can classify it as a car, cause its about ¼ the size of a car, and I think mostly they have frozen treats in them, and play ice-cream enticing songs. Anyway, several years ago, a couple friends and I were driving down John Laurie Blvd, and saw one of these trucks, likely heading home for the evening…no ice-cream truck music, he wasn’t even driving slow…anyway…the truck, and pictures of these delicate and yummy treats enticed my friends and I to stop at nothing to flag this man down. So in fine style, hanging out of the vehicle we motioned for him to pull over. But whether the driver had not fully completed his ice-cream truck driving training or not, he didn’t pull over on the side of the road, but on the little median to the right of an intersection…(where you push the button & wait to cross the street). That’s where he stopped and let us purchase our ice-cream. We certainly had some laughs about that.
So apparently my boyfriend thinks someone (who will go un-named for privacy purposes) should receive her bear back. Now I’m not sure if there is a conspiracy involving my boyfriend and my best friend or not…but…he pleaded her case well…so in a ceremony not yet planned through, Bear Naked will be returned to the original owner. (even though the owner did leave profanities on my blog site) This hasn’t been discussed with my co-conspirator, however, I’m sure she’ll agree…if not she’ll have to have a talk with my boyfriend. J
In other news it occurred to me today, that Calgary didn’t get our annual snow-dump in May! What’s up with that? I look forward to it every year, and have now been disapointed! I remember one year getting a couple feet of snow in a matter of hours, and having snowball fights and what not outside….Mmmmmm…I miss living with Chelsea…that was fun. BOO.
Anyway…someone needs to work once in a while…have some training to do! Happy weekend, Happy Lilac Festival, LEAVE SOME COMMENTS ALREADY!

Oh Shara...I miss living with you too...remember how we built a snow fort on our balcony that day...it was such fun...you really bring that side out of me. That's just one of the reasons I love you so much, my sister. Another is the sensitivity of your conscience...even if it has taken four years and the prompting of Troy's words to open your eyes. My conscience is equally as sensitive and, for that reason, I have to apologize for words written on your blog that were undoubtedly hurtful. I'm sorry my friend and I love you. Now give me my bear back.
I liked the bit about stealing the bear being a sin. :) If nothing else, returning the bear will make stealing him in the future that much more fun. :P What fun is it to steal something that someone has hardly ever possesed? Sorry, Chelski. Make sure you guard the bear well upon his safe return. Wow, "guard" is a tricky word to spell in my world. But you should have a chance to enjoy Bear Naked and listen to the stories he has to tell (Shara doesn't think stuffed toys can talk... but I know better).
