You Know The One

I went to Centre Street Church last night for their 6 o'clock service. It was really enjoyable. The girl sitting infront of me was worth mentioning. She was quite tall, had a big mane of dark curly hair, with a section of it tied up. She had glasses, no make-up and BIG eyes. I'm sure she is a lovely girl. My first impression was that she doesn't take very good care of herself, and doesn't have a great fashion sense. You know the type of person that when you're talking to them, they are scaning the room seeming to be looking for someone? The person in the group easily distracted by everything? The entire service, this girl seemed to be perhaps looking for someone...maybe she was looking for a friend? Maybe a handsome man...I don't know, but she didn't stop looking. She sat by herself. Anyway as the service was ending, a very pretty girl came up and said hello to her. Once again, this girl seemed like she couldn't care less for the attention and continued looking around for someone else...how strange. Made me think about God....and how most often in my life, I've been frustrated looking for God...trying to see glimpses of his truth. And perhaps he was standing right infront of me, saying..."hello!" and I couldn't care less.

Anyway.

She was interesting anyway. Pastor Henry spoke of Generosity. And the impact that has on the world...and on us. It was a fantastic message. I love listening to that man. He is a celebrity to me...I fear if I had the opportinty to be in the same space as him, that I would clam up, and my tongue would stick to the roof of my mouth. He seems to have such a holy presence around him, and he seems so wise. I enjoy his teaching.

Chelsea's baby shower was fantastic! So fun! Probably 15-20 people came, and she had a ton of presents which was fantastic! What a great time!

I slept in until 10am this morning. That is rare for me, but so enjoyable. I feel so frefreshed this morning.

My husband is coming home in a few minutes, and I'm going to go make him some pizza.

******does anyone know of anyone who wants to buy a computer? We have a computer for sale, its in excellent condition, was mine, but now we have 2 computers, and don't possibly need 2. We'll sell it for $250. I'll send some pictures, or else post some later on. Let me know if you are interested!!!

Chelsea's baby Shower

I am in the midst of getting ready for Chelsea's baby shower in countdown...5 hours, 8 minutes. I've been baking, and cleaning all morning. Its been fun. I hard time sleeping cause I was so excited! I think it will be a fun time!

Last night we went to the movies (Jackass) and out to eat. Troy took me on a date. And then this morning after his groceries run, he brought me flowers. He's so sweet! :) I love him! The movie...which I promised Troy we'd never tell other people we went to see...was funny at times, and crude at times, and just un-watchable at others. It was enjoyable...but I wouldn't necessarily reccomend it...and just so no one thinks we are horrible people for supporting this movie...we didn't pay for the tickets. Someone gave me a couple movie passes! So SHAME ON THEM!!! for supporting this movie.

Anyway, I'm procrastinating. I should get going.

Bierbabies

We went to visit Darren & Nicky along with Vienna and Eden yesterday. What a blast! How fun it is to play with little girls! Eden is growing into such a cute little girl, and is starting to talk...or continuing rather. Its quite cute to see her come up with new words. We had a blast with them yesterday, tossing them into the air, tickling them, kissing them. It was fun.

The Amazing Race...I enjoyed it quite a lot last night! I have picked a favorite team. Duke & Lauern from Rhode Island. They were so great last night! :) GO TEAM! (They came in 2nd).

I really enjoyed the race last night!

I'm meeting Chels for breakfast, gotta go!

Snow

Well this morning as I drove to work it happened. The white little demons were back. It started snowing as I entered the intersection of Crowchild Trail and 24^th St or Ave...whichever it is…and I did a little audible scream. I’m really not impressed. Although, maybe this year, I’ll get out to the mountains to do some snowboarding. That kind of makes me excited. I like snowboarding a lot. It’s a blast. I could go on Mondays on my day off…I think I may try that a few times this year. That’d be good.

I got to drive to work in the Jetta today. Mmmmm…warm tooshie. I had my seat heater cranked up to 5 (which I think you could cook an egg on if you tried). It was wonderful.

I talked to my Mom today, and she has to go get her dog put down. Her dog has gotten really sick over the past couple weeks, and its time for him to go to sleep. I’m very sad for her.

I watched Survivor the other day. I gave in…but it was the same as every other survivor before it…except of course for the controversial way the tribes were divided. Who cares. They’re all people. I think likely, most of us don’t even see a race anymore….at least I don’t think I do. I don’t think I’ll get sucked into that reality tv…I will however watch the AMAZING RACE!!! Which I believe starts on Sunday, along with CSI. I think those will be my 2 shows of choice this season.

My hockey league starts again in 2 weeks. I believe my team finished 6^th. I’m excited. Except not about playing the orange team. Those guys are evil.

Ok, well this is becoming the way I am making this horribly slow day pass. I know someone will walk in at 2:55pm today. I just feel it. Anyway, am going home to make my husband his favorite…lemon meringue pie.

Rolling Stones

So Troy & I are going to see the Rolling Stones in Regina over Thanksgiving. Our dear friend Darin Wilson who happens to be a BIG celebrity and work on the television show Corner Gas , has invited us to come and visit him in Regina...and take in a Stones Concert. Now I can't say I'm especially a fan of the Stones...I've heard of them...but I don't know that I could ever identify a song of theirs. I guess I'll start having to do some research.


IN other news...today was a VERY frustrating day at work. The major objective of my job is to quote and write new insurance policies. Today I had 2 gentlemen, whom by first appearance, seemed quite smart and such. Anyway, both of whom I'd quoted in the past, and both came in to write up the insurance policy I had quoted for them. Well...the first elderly gentleman, upon his return home (after writing 2 policies in my office, and spending about 1 hour with me), called to tell me his current insurance policy was giving him about double the coverage for the same price, and that he'd like to cancel the policy he just wrote with me. Lovely. Second of all...another gentleman came in and did the exact same thing! That sort of thing BUGS THE HECK OUT OF ME! Like...do your research. Jeepers. Anyway.

I am going to go have a nap.

Freezing and Sleepy

Two of my least favorite things...being cold, and being tired. That's how I feel today. Yesterday I sat in my car and glared as I thought I saw little white balls of yuck plopping themselves on my car...all hairy and demonish. I think my eyes were playing tricks on me...we aren't supposed to get snow until tomorrow...but I glared at them all the same.

I love my flip flops...and have great pride in saying the only times I'd put my feet into socks in the last 6 months is when I've gone to the gym, or played floor hockey. I feel confident saying I hate socks...and I'm sad that sock season is coming back.

I'm also not very happy that my car starter won't work again until we spent probably about $500 to fix the necessary things on my car to get it working. That makes me want to stay in my home forever. I hate to be cold. And my beloved husband, bless his heart...has seat warmers in his car. Hmmm...maybe I can convince him to switch cars with me for the winter.

Onto a separate topic...I'm glad this blog has become more of a space for ranting. I like ranting. its fun. I love to play floor hockey, but I HATE to play floor hockey against the orange team. I actually lothe them. Last game, one girl...cross-checked me from behind into a wall. Yesterday it was bashing my legs with her stick...I think she also had the rest of her team ganging up against me....cause a different girl was attacking me, and jumped on my foot...and told me "watch it!" (I wonder...was that a threat or...?" (I told her to stop jumping on my feet...and to take it easy). Not only that, but I had slap shots aimed at me several times...and several times they hit me...I can't wait till I'm really good at floor hockey and then I can trip those guys, and smash them and all kinds of fun things...then I can chuckle to myself. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this is apparently a "non-contact" sport...however I received a lot of contact last night. I'm Angry.

What else...Burr...I'm still cold.

I think that's all I've got for today. :)
