hello Lovelies!!

hows life? hows tricks? whats going on?????

so. sososo.

My weekend was pretty good. Thurs and Fri i had to be at work early (as in 4am & 5am), but that meant i got to go home mid-afternoon.

So friday night, CJ demanded me and AQ's presence - apparently we were having a Threeeo night. (seriously, i had NO CHOICE in the matter. Not that I would ever turn down an opportunity to hang out with my girlies, but seriously, CJ was all, THIS IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION - so really...)

so we went out to Gas Town (an hour or so later than we had planned) to check out a new club that a friend (of a friend) was bouncing for. So we got in for free, had a few drinks, met a few people. and like, seriously, i'm a total Puma. The first guy we talked to was 21. I'm 26. so.... yeah, no. And like, don't think that there was any chance of anything happening or whatever, we were just outside talking, but then he was all, i'm 21!! and i'm all, aw, your adorable. but man, you're a baby. and then there was this OTHER guy - and like. seriously, this guy was totally and completely adorable. as in, i want to keep him FOREVER. and he's 24, so... technically i could =P but anyway. This other guy, at first i was all, OMG YOU'RE ADORABLE. but then he kept calling me Kathryn (which, ok, i introduced myself as Cait, but STILL!! KATHRYN? REALLY?) so then i got upset at him for that. But he kept being adorable, so i had to forgive him. So we kinda made him promise to come to A's bday/halloween party on saturday. And CJ made him promise to wear suspenders just to make it up to me.

cuz.... i may or may not (and by 'may not' i mean i totally, totally do) have a thing for suspenders. as in, i think they're totally sexy. i don't know what it is, but i love them, i think they're hot, and if my newest little non-crush came to A's in suspenders... i would probably have to get drunk and kiss him. just a little kiss!! but still. i wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of his suspenders. i know this about myself. i can't even help it. (and no, its not a fetish. i just like them, okay?)

so. friday night was fun (even though A didn't feel that well, me and CJ had a blast!!)

then sat and sun were pretty chill. sat i didn't do ANYTHING except lounge around at home.

sunday me and mares went shopping for her costume, then hung out a bit, then I had to go see stupid Paranormal Activity 3. because my bestie is kind of a dick sometimes, and he makes me see horrible movies that scare me. like, seriously, TERRIFY me. but... i had already seen the first 2 with him, i couldn't not finish the series with him - because i'm CERTAIN that there will be NO MORE after this one. okay? ok.

so me, and the ex-band members of Interphase went and saw this movie. And... i think i watched most of it. There were times were i totally hid my face in Drewbie's arm, or... like, just stared at the bottom of the screen, but i still MOSTLY watched it.

and then i had to drive home all by myself. in the dark. by myself. (but it was ok, because its JUST A MOVIE, and i totally checked the back seat of my car {maybe more than once} just to make sure no one was hiding there, waiting to kill me).

so i went home, watched a couple cute eps of Leverage, looked at a couple pics of my Boyfriend Spencer Smith - because he seriously makes life Better just by existing. and his Smile seriously overpowers the sun. In short, Spencer Smith is made from Everything Awesome, Ever.

so... yeah. thats how i got actual sleep last night. Leverage, and (mostly) Spencer Smith.

i know... i'm kind of a freak, but i don't even care. He's just so good looking.

and now, i'm excited for Friday, because My Person comes home. and she's sleeping over. because then on saturday its her bday party, and A's bday party. and i'm going to have good times.

um... so, on monday, i got to work (somewhat late-ish but not really... I try to make it for 8am, but usually end up at my desk closer to 830ish - WHAT? Traffic sucks. and maybe i should start going to be earlier than 1am... but whatever. shut up....)

So. I text Boss and am all, 'am going to be late! sorry!!' and she's all, 'J wants to see you when you get here? can you make it for 830?'

and then i'm FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. I kept thinking, 'oh shit, what did i do? what didn't i do? fuck fuck fuckfuckfuck'. right? typical response, right?

So we bust our asses to get to work, and I forgo coffee and book it upstairs, and i'm all, OK OK I'M HERE, WHERE IS SHE? but not like that exactly. i'm calm, but rushed. so Boss points me in the right direction, and I go see J...

and L got let go.

so.

it was kind of a shock. like, we had all kinda mentioned it before in our many rants against him, but... i didn't expect this. However, he was stressed a lot of the time, and the job kept him away from his family, and... he just... he wasnt' well suited for this. thats what J even said. She said that he was a great guy and everything, but it wasn't working out, not from a business standpoint, and this was nothing against him, it was always about the job.

so...

yeah.

and like, its been pretty good, actually. Nice and quiet. Well, J has now kinda moved into L's old office, just to look after us and everything - and let me tell you - my Dept is trying to behave. One of the girls joked about us becoming one of the quietest depts on the floor, and I laughed and said no.

because i can't. theres no way in hell that I could ever try and do that. I'm still me. I can't be anything but. I mean, i kinda try to tone myself down and everything, but... a leopard can't hid its spots. So... like, a crazy person can't really hide their crazy.

As my woman once put it, me trying to be normal and hiding my crazy is like trying to hide and elephant under a rug. (thanks

skullycat <3)

OOH! Speaking of my Woman, i've got some vacay time left, so i'm gonna spend a few days on the island and visit my Other Family in Nov! Actually, i kinda planned it so i'd be around for Bowynn's First Bday. (cuz i'm an Amazingly Awesome Auntie. like, that's just fact).

In other news... i'm totally loving Terra Nova. I don't care if people think its lame or whatever, I'm totally enjoying it. me and

timeblindhave great fangirl gchat's about it. its awesome.

um... still totally obsessed with Spencer Smith, because he makes my life better. no, honestly, he does. he's just... well, i've seen this around to describe him before - Flawless.

its really hard to disagree with such an apt description.

um... what else what else what else??

i'm going out this friday with my Threeeos and Steve. Next Saturday i've got 2 bday parties to go to.

um um um... i dunno. i don't lead a very exciting life...

BUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut i hope all is well with everyone!!! i love everyone and miss you and as;ldkfja;lsdkjfa;sdflkja

So... been having a cranky week. Sometimes it sucks being a female.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT anyway. Yesterday was... well. I mainly hid behind my music. Like, I just plugged in and ignored everyone and everything. kinda. Yesterday was kind of fun since the main system i use at work was down for the whole day. so it was fun and boring. (i got some filing done tho!! GO ME!!)

anyway. So because i've been cranky, A has been bugging me all week, making me even bitchier. Like, if we're talking/arguing, sometimes i'm just "A, be quiet. Just... just shut up. I don't care anymore. I don't care, so just shut up, i'm ignoring you now, cuz if i don't ignore you, i'm going to stab you in the neck with my staple remover. or shoot you in the face. either/or."

I listened to Snow Patrol the whole day. Well... most of the day. But they're one of my FAVE bands ever, EVAR. So i was listening to their newest song yesterday repeatedly (via YOUTUBE) and then i was listening to some of their other songs on youtube, and then i was all, wtf, self. you have them on your ipod, dummy.

so i listened to my ipod instead.

but, they're just so... soothing. calming. i love them. I love Gary. I love his voice, and all the emotion he puts into singing. (brendon urie from p!atd is the same way - very emotional. i love it!!)

but yeah. so listening to Snow Patrol helps calm me down from my almost Rage Blackouts.

and then, after I got home (i got off work an hour early because our system was down, so i bought dinner - frozen dinners and asparagus, and like, 4 bags of lightly salted ripple chips b/c they were on sale!) and made dinner (it was pretty hard, i tells ya, putting that stuff in the microwave, putting on water to steam the asparagus. it took FOREVER), the Sis and I watched White Collar (OMG i totally love this show, you guys. its kinda like Leverage, but not, and its awesome. I love shows about theives!!) and that was all well and good, but...

I really needed a pick me up.

Also, theres some family shit going on right now. So we were both kinda down, and i just needed a pick me up.

So i stared at the prettiness and omg!hotness and just all around i-wanna-sex-you-up-ness of Spencer Smith. I'm so glad I bookmarked that picspam you guys. cuz he just... he just makes everything better.

seriously, the next time i'm feeling down, all i need to do is listen to Snow Patrol and look at Spencer Smith. And then i'm happy. Because seriously, what's better than listening to the Band of your Soul, and looking(/drooling) at the Man of your Dreams?

absolutely nothing.

though, i have to be honest here... RL is not that interesting.

work is busy - Slacker Pants quit and got a new job thats less than 10 mins from her place. (also, our boss was driving her ape shit, and she just couldn't take it anymore). So now I've got some of her duties, and he's driving ME crazy now. but... whatever. i have my girlies to bitch to, its all good. and sometimes, i really am a Master Slacker.

anyway. I'm pretty excited about this month. This weekend - well, friday - i'm hopping on a ferry to visit the Mormons. mostly because

skullycat has no friends and she misses me ALL the time. <3 but yeah.

Pretty sure I mentioned how awesome my Saturday was - hanging out with Steve and our Nieces. (seriously, i love him. i love him SOOOOOOOOOOOO much. I think he's probably one of the most amazing men I've ever known. he's just... gah, i don't know if i have words to describe how awesome he is!! He's a total sweetheart AND a complete jerk. No wonder i love him. He takes care of his friends and family, and can also be a complete and utter bastard. its awesome!!)

But yeah. Pretty excited to hang out with the Mormons. K is going to make me some DELICIOUS food (she knows the way to my heart!!) and hopefully we'll get some writing done. or at least get some ideas out there. or something. its been a while, and i've wanted to do SOMETHING with our story, but... i dunno. i mostly just dabble - i consider her the one with the talent. i'm just kind of... a soundboard. its OUR world, but if anyone is going to make anything of it, its gonna K.

anyhoo, yes. Food and Stories and My Girlies. Sounds like a good weekend to me!!!

THEN!!! next weekend is going to be AWESOME as I'm going to Kelowna for a Family Girls Weekend!!! Me and the Sis will be leaving Friday morning, stay the night in K-Town, then Kimi will drive us to Midway, where we'll hang out with Nana and Mimi (since Kimi couldn't make it for Easter), spend the night there, head back to Kelowna on Sunday, stay there for the night, and then we'll head home on monday. Its going to be a busy weekend, but i know it'll be worth it. I seriously love my family. But yes. My Nana is pretty excited for our visit, so I'm happy to see her. AND AND AND since Daddy won't be there, we'll actually have a DECENT BED to sleep in!!! (and NOT the torture device we call the 'pull out couch' - where you can feel EVERY SPRING that is DIGGING INTO YOUR BODY CUZ ITS PROBABLY 15-20 YEARS OLD NOW, AND THE MATRESS IS SHIT - but i'm not bitter or anything. that's just one of the reasons we tend to sleep over at Mimi's when we're in Midway).

Also, i'm hoping Mimi is better, as she was sick for Easter. (she had a cold and pink eye. so she didn't hang out much. not that she would have anyway, since she would have been working). Buuuuuuuuuuuuut that's ok.

AND AND AND hopefully my friend Lindsey will still be in K-Town while i'm there, so maybe hopefully I can meet up with her and see her before she goes back to Oz.

AND THEN. WHEN I COME HOME, I WILL HAVE AN AMAZING PRESENT WAITING FOR ME. THAT PRESENT, IS

kepp0xy . (who won't exactly be "waiting" for me, per se, BUT OMFG SHE'LL BE IN TOWN AND I'M A LITTLE EXCITED BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN FOREVER AND I KIND OF MISS HER FACE AND EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. not that i'll ever admit that out loud, or to her face. well, maybe out loud. and perhaps to her face.)

BUT YES. I WILL GET TO SEE MY

kepp0xy AND HANG OUT WITH HER AND EAT FOOD WITH HER AND SQUEE WITH HER AND HIT ON HER AND ALL THE FUN THINGS THAT WE USED TO DO WHEN SHE LIVED HERE!!!! IT KIND OF FILLS MY HEART WITH JOY!!!

(i think the only other thing that would make this month the most awesomest month evar is if

timeblind came home for a wee visit as well. it would completely fill my heart with joy - but beggars can't be choosers, and i know she'll come home eventually.)

um... what else? I... actually, i haven't really seen much of the guys. I talk to Drew at least once a week, and i'm having sushi with him on thursday (2 of my fave things! Sushi and Drewbie!!! and i haven't seen either in a while!!!) but yeah. i dunno. i know that the guys are busy, and thats part of the reason I haven't been in touch with them lately. besides which, i've been trying to focus on The Ladies and spending more girl time with them (since we've agreed that we don't hang out as much as we would like)

still. I'm excited to Drew before I leave. I practically had to beg him to make time for me =P ok, that's not entirely true. But i told him i really wanted to see him before I went to Vic, as its been a while since he and I hung out. I don't like going long periods without seeing him. Yes, I talk to him on the phone, and we text all the time, but its not the same. i would have been pretty upset if I didn't get a chance to see him. i just feel like its been a while since i saw him, and it doesn't sit well with me.

but yes. this month is going to be pretty awesome for me. I get to see a bunch of ppl i adore!!!

ok - had a pretty good weekend!

1) friday me&Mares finished up S3 of Leverage - so now we're all set for S4 when it starts in June!! (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY)

2) Saturday was amaaaaaaaaaaaazing!! Steve got skullycat and their mom tickets to Cavalia for Mother's Day, so he and I took Kaeda to Steveston, got drinks from Sbux (and while Uncle Steve was getting his ladies drinks, Auntie Cait played "Where's Kaeda" with Kaeda outside. In public. Where people could see and laugh WITH us. not at us. WITH US. After taking a walk along the boardwalk, we went home, Steve and K watched Homeward Bound 2 and I chilled with Bowynn a bit. Then the boys fed me dinner, the Mom's came home, and the Woman and I escaped to get some dessert (mmmmmmmmmm Marble Slab!!) then went shopping at London Drugs.

3) Sunday was pretty good too. the Sis and I watched the Fast and the Furious movies (omg, #3 shouldn't EVEN COUNT. ITS HORRIBLE!!) then had naps, then went to dinner at the Flying Beaver with a couple of her friends.

tonight, its dinner at Dad's (which we missed last week b/c of stupid work) so i'm excited for that.

you know what else i'm excited for?

if you guessed Hawaii 5-0, you'd be CORRECT!! OMG THIS EP LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!! IS IT 10PM YET??????????

(seriously, Dinner at Daddy's, Castle, and H50 are the only good things about mondays. no lie)

OMG. I HAVE AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING FRIENDS!!

my fellow H50 fan from work (who is also one of my good tv buddies / kind of ex-coworker from Chapters) got me a fantastic belated bday present.

for seriously.

the card has a super gorgeous pic of Alex O'L from his Australian GQ photo shoot (the one where he's all delicious looking... more so than usual) which i have now put up on my little window so i can stare at it all day long...

AS WELL AS...

A MUG. WITH A PIC OF HIM ON IT!!!!!!!!!! (i think it was one of the earlier promo pics where he's all wet and delicious looking...)

so its going to be my work mugl. and he's going to stare at me while i work and make me happy when i have bad days and just... make me happy in general. because he's AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL MINE.

i'm in a pretty good mood right now. i made coffee this morning and had it on my way to work, finished it by the time i got to work, had more coffee, came up to my desk where my wonderful present was waiting, had MORE coffee, and now i'm currently drinking tea (in said B-Day Mug. Of Awesome and Pretty and Deliciousness).

but yeah. maybe i'll put up a pic, because i've been trying to take more pics lately, since i don't take ANY. but whatever. i dunno.

i'm just in a good mood, and it was TOTALLY BOOSTED A MILLION PERCENT with my present this morning.

Little Bowynn has been born almost a week now, and I'm still alive!!! and so is

skullycat !

Kaeda and Brendon came home on Friday, and it was nice to have the family back together.

tbh, its been a little surreal. Baby Bowynn aka Squeaker (or Squeaky McGee, or Little Bun... yeah, i've given this kid a whole bunch of nicknames already, but thats what Aunties do!) is SOOOOOOOOOOOO Cute. and Tiny. and cute. I totally want to Elmira her. (if you don't know who Elmira is, you should be ASHAMED of yourself! Tiny Toons Adventures were AWESOME!!) meaning, I totally want to squish her. When I hold her, sometimes i say stuff along the lines of "i want to squish you until your insides come out your ears!!!" - THAT is how cute she is. (don't worry, i wouldn't really.)

I play with Kaeda quite a bit. Right now, Kaeda quite likes it when Auntie Cait is a horse. Yes, i let my Niece ride on my back. That is how whipped I am. These children, i swear.

But yes, being a Horsie isn't as awesome as it seems. Their house has hardwood floors. B had joked about getting me kneepads, but I asked for them anyway. Seriously, being a horsie isn't easy. especially on hardwood floors. Actually, last night he got them for me, and I put them on, and I was chasing after Kaeda on my hands and knees (be a Horsie Auntie!! Get down! Don't stand up!!) so i put on the kneepads to test them out. so as i round the corner, i notice that we have company. Yes, I got to meet a couple of B's friends while wearing knee pads. Fortunately, they know Kaeda, so seeing a woman in her mid-twenties on all fours chasing an almost 3-yr old? Not really anything to bat an eye at. (I don't think Karen would ever do the things that I would, but she's Mommy - and that is Srs Bsn. Being Auntie, i'm waaaaaaaaay more fun =P )

But yeah... Kaeda has Auntie Cait wrapped around her little finger. And we all know it.

Hey man, I CHOOSE to be wrapped around that finger of hers! I don't HAVE to be! I could stop if I wanted!!

(omg, last night at dinner i was all, So Kaeda, do you like the Dip Auntie made? {it was guacamole}, and she was all 'yes' and then i was all, Kaeda, do you love Auntie?" and she nodded and said "yes". and then my heart exploded in my chest, because seriously, my heart grows fifty billion times when I hear her say stuff like that.)

ANYWAY.

So I've been making K watch Hawaii Five-0 with me, cuz its my new obsession. OMFG, how much do i heart this show? SO EFFING MUCH!! YOU HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA.

Steve and Danno? So totally married. They are the MAIN reason I watch this show. them being man-wives is just... the best thing evar. (it doesn't hurt that Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park are both SUPER PRETTY to look at, and are SO EFFING AWESOME as Chin and Kono. Seriously, EVERYONE needs to be watching this show and its awesomeness.)

I love Steve and Danno SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. They're both super hot and charming, and... *dies*. and seeing Daddy!Danno? makes my ovaries explode, i want his babies SO HARD. (and not, its not just cuz being Auntie with Kaeda and Bowynn makes my maternal clock speed up a little). Daddy!Danno is just... its... sexy and hot and seeing him be all sweet with his daughter and how he loves her SO MUCH (HE FREAKING MOVED FROM JERSEY TO HAWAII JUST TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH HER ALL THE TIME. HOW DOES HE EXIST? AND WHY AREN'T WOMEN CRAWLING ALL OVER THEMSELVES TO BE WITH HIM? i mean, yeah, he's with Steve, and they're totally going out and everything, BUT SERIOUSLY, WOMEN OF HAWAII. HOW ARE YOU NOT HAVING MATERNAL ORGASMS LIKE I AM WHEN HE'S WITH GRACIE? HOW???)

and Steve... he's just... such an asshole. like, most of the time. and he's so OBVIOUSLY in love with Danno. Um, hello, HE calls him Danno - a name RESERVED only for Danny's Daughter.

and their Car Banter? Made of win and awesome and epicness. Seriously, so totally married.

and Steve? is a totally tall-y. (and you know how i lurve mah tallies!!) and he's an ex-navy seal. so he's kind of a hardass. and he loves violence (well... he likes torturing criminals, and dangling them off rooftops and throwing them in shark cages to get them to talk. SERIOUSLY, THIS MAN IS AMAZING AND I LOVE HIM).

ok ok... i need to stop. this show, though, everyone, EVERYONE needs to watch it. and not just cuz Danno and Steve being married is awesome. Jin is on my tv again, which makes me all kinds of happy. (and his new name is CHIN!! HEE!!) and he's just... he RIDES A MOTORCYCLE, GUYS. and its HOT. (because Chin is HOT). and he's totally bad ass. and has a chip on his shoulder. and is just... like... so awesome. I cannot even. he's... guh. like, this show, its just full of the eye-candy.

And Grace Park? Is AWESOME TOO. and i totes wanna watch BSG again (even tho i only own the first season). she's bad ass, and cute, and looks hot in her bikinis, and one day when I grow up, i want to be as badass as her. for seriously. (you guys, the first time we meet her, she PUNCHES A GUY IN THE FACE cuz he crashed into her while she was surfing. IT WAS AWESOME!!!)

in conclusion, expect to hear more about me loving Five-0. and all its awesomeness.

and how much i love my Mormon Family. because they're pretty awesome too.

also?

timeblind ? i still miss you. i love you bb!!! *smooshes*

Hey Y'all!!

I had a fantastic weekend! It was crazy and full of my bff S! Her bf was away on a camping trip, and my sis was doing a writing thing all weekend with some of her gal pals, so we hung out!

well, on Friday i hung out with Kieran, and we saw Machete and had sushi.

SATURDAY was awesome! I got a manicure, went to PNE with S and Drewbie, saw Jamieson and the gang, went on some rides, walked around the PNE a bit, saw a Lumberjack show, saw Jen from work, went to Red Robin for dinner with S and Drewbie and the rest of the gang, went back to S's, watched Life Unexpected, went to a bar downtown, closed down the place, got back to S's, and went to bed around 4am

SUNDAY we woke up in the afternoon, cleaned S's place a bit, i went home to check the kitties, went back to S's, watched more Life Unexpected, went to her parents' for dinner, hung out with them for a bit, went BACK to S's, watched MORE Life Unexpected, and went home around 230 3 am

MONDAY S&I met up around 930, did a little shopping for business supplies for her Jewelry business (She's selling Stella&Dot stuff. Its pretty nice! a little pricey, but nice stuff), set up her work area, FINISHED Life Unexpected, went to Daddy's for dinner, hung out with him for a bit, then i dropped her off around 830-9, i got home, played a bit online, then went to bed around 10 1030.

I've got a super short week, as I'm off on Friday, so i'm trying to make plans. I'm either having lunch with Kieran or i'm coming all the way out to burnaby to have lunch with my Girlies from Work. I dunno yet. I guess it depends on if Peanut is working or not. i dunno.

but yeah. that's my life so far. Heard from R last week, and he wants to get together sometime soon-ish to go see a movie. But really, its up to him. i'm not the one that's got a couple jobs AND is going to school. So yeah.

anything else?????? I can't think of anything. Waiting to hear back from my boss, L, to see if i got my 3 weeks off in Nov so I can chill with Pregasaurus.

PS Life Unexpected? Pretty good show. Total chick show though. I enjoyed it muchly!

Had a really good weekend with

skullycat and kaeda.

( Friday )

( Saturday )

( Sunday - PNE!! )

So i went home, played on the internets a bit, then went to bed. I HAD A JAM PACKED WEEKENED, FULL OF KAREN AND KAEDA.

so it was kind of Awesome. because Kaeda was there.

OMG. She's the cutest thing evar!! The last time I saw her, I taught her that Auntie was Awesome, because she had the Mommy is Crazy thing down. But it was SOOOOOOOOOO Cute because on Saturday with Drew, I was all, What's Mommy? and Kaeda got a big smile and replied 'Mommy's Crazy!' and I asked, and Auntie? and she replied "Auntie Awesome!" and Karen was all, what's Drew? and Kaeda looked at him for a minute, "Drew's Crazy!"

Basically everyone that isn't Auntie or Kaeda is crazy. Which gives me the warm fuzzies. I love that kid so freakin much.

Ok so...

Last wednesday I didn't have sushi, I went out on a date instead! With the guy my sister's bff wanted to set me up with before.

He was really sweet when I first met him, and very courteous - he opened the car door for me. We went to the blendz by my place, got a drink, and i pulled out the crazy a bit, and asked him who his favourite superhero was.

He said Batman, and I was relieved - if it had been anyone BUT batman, there might have been problems between us.

ANYWAY, he didn't seem to mind my completely random question, and after we got our drinks, he took me to Spanish Banks (near UBC) to watch the fireworks. We caught the last.. 5 or 10 minutes of them, but it was nice, and we got to chat a little. Then we waited for the traffic to lessen a bit, so we joked around and chatted some more. He's really nice and sweet and down to earth - quite the gentleman! He wants to be a cop eventually, and he's working 2 jobs and going to school at the moment. Loss & Prevention. Like Security.

Oh! lol, i don't think i mentioned... ok, so i called him... last monday (my dad bailed on us. he had to work or something lame like that), and left him a message, so he called me back a bit later, and this was the VERY FIRST TIME i talked to him, ever. so we were both kinda 'oh, are you still interested in doing something?' and i said 'as long as you don't plan on serial killing me, i think we're good' or something along those lines.

AS SOON AS THOSE WORDS WERE OUT OF MY MOUTH I WAS ALL 'OH SHIT! HE DOESN'T KNOW ME! THATS A WEIRD THING TO SAY TO SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!!' in my head.

but it was ok! he laughed and said no, that wasn't part of the plan, or something. so i was very relieved.

so as we were driving to Spanish Banks, the road was kind of dark and twisty, and he looked over to me and assured me he wasn't taking me out somewhere deserted to kill me. which i thought was very nice.

anyway, he drove me home and walked me to my door, and we hugged goodbye. I thought that was nice, since this was our first time meeting each other. but he was all, oh, give me a call if you want to do something next week.

I didn't really appreciate that. i didn't want the ball in my court, i wanted him to be the one to call ME, but whatever. i wanted to see him again - he's new and interesting!!

So last night I saw R again. We had dinner at this place called the Eatery, which is a sushi place. OMFG. i'd been there once for a friends bday part, but i dunno, i guess i was so engrossed in the company cuz there were quite a few ppl and everything, but THIS PLACE IS SOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!! ok, so as he was driving me home last week, we went by a sushi place, and i was all, oh, hey, do you like sushi? and he was all yeah i do! so i was all gleeful inside, because sushi is awesome, and he was all, oh, there's this neat place i could take you to, its called the eatery. so thats where we went last night. and all week ppl have been telling me great things about it. Sonia my boss told me that i should basically live there, its all crazy and awesome. and omg she was soooooooooo right. it IS awesome. tho, there was a big fake squid in the corner of the room, which i didn't like, because i hate squid. I HATE THEM!!!

anyway, he ordered us miso soup and this appy called the Fat Elvis - avocado tempura. OH SWEET BABY JESUS IT WAS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. He was all, its worth the heart-attack you'll have later. hee. and then we got two rolls each and shared. everything we had was really yummy. he got one with a deep fried banana on top, and i was a little apprehensive at first, but it was actually quite good. still, dinner was nice and he's still interesting so i like talking to him and everything. Then after, we went to his place and watched the first episode of Spartacus.

and i seriously love that show already. its so awesome, with the hot men (and hot women), the all the blood, and violence. R summed it up pretty good. Violence, profanity, sex. the basis of a lot of HBO (or HBO type) Shows. Women won't mind watching the show even if they're opposed to violence and gore, because the men are always half-naked (or all naked) and gorgeous. But i like the violence anyway, so its all good for me.

but yes. Spartacus? totally amazing and i'm going to be watching more of it.

anyway. he drove me home after watching the first ep (he was really tired, he had to work and go to school, and it think he got home late the night before) and he walked me to my door, and hugged me goodbye, and told me to call him if i wanted to do smth next week.

so i'm excited. he's really interesting. and cute. so hee! i'm kinda... not liking him as much as i could. 1) i don't know him very well 2) i don't want to get my hopes up. i'm kind of taking this one date at a time.

hee!

So I had a really good weekend!

Actually, I had a pretty good week.

Monday was Dinner at Daddy's, where we ate Chicken Caesar, and Mares and I played Wii Sports (I'm no longer a Pro at Bowling, which makes me le sad. I have to get better at it!) and Dad went to talk to the Lady he is currently seeing. (I don't want to call her girlfriend just yet, because he hasn't called her that yet).

Tuesday we went to Sarahs, and played more Wii there. We made our own Mii's, but I'm going to have to change mine. I used to always pick the black guy as my character because I usually had the black controller, and Nick called me Darkness, so i'm going to have to make myself black on tuesday when we're there again. I liked being The Darkness.

OMG Speaking of The Darkness, I totally fell in love with them again!! Peanut texted me some lyrics sometime last week, cuz he heard them on the radio and thought of me because I Believe In A Thing Called Love was my song a few years ago. As in, I listened to it ALL THE TIME. In my car it was pretty much on repeat, blaring, and I'd car dance to it all the freaking time.

So i love them again and it makes me happy.

anyway. On wednesday Mares and I just chilled at home. I think we finished S1 of SG1 that night. Or we started S2. I think we finished S1 though.

Thursday was my Friday, and I went to see Predators with a guy from work. It was a non-date. it was nice. I really enjoyed the movie and am going to see it again. While I was in the movie, the guy who i'm supposed to maybe have coffee with called and left a msg.

On Friday, I called him back and left an awkward msg for him. I hate leaving msgs if its someone i don't know. I never know what to say and get all jumbled and its just... awkward. So yeah. I don't even remember what I said to him, so i'll probably call him tonight or something, so that we can arrange something for sometime.

ANYWAY. ( Kelowna & Family BBQ! )

Wednesday I might be having sushi for dinner with Peanut, as we both want sushi. I swear, he's part of the reason i'm so addicted to sushi. but we're going for all you can eat possibly on wednesday if i don't have other plans. And he's also going to find me directions to get to Chilliwack Airport because apparently they have amazing pie there, so says Kristen. So i'm going to test that theory soon.

AND i'm also planning on going to the Drive In sometime soon. It's playing Inception there right now, and that might be fun to see.

So yes. That's my plan. I'm going to call that guy tonight, to see if he still wants to maybe do something sometime. Lets hope i don't sound like a fool.

OOH! Theres a show i must watch! Its called Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Kim is all, it was either made by women or gay men, because its about hot men who are well built who walk around half-naked all the time! sometimes even fully naked. and theres blood and guts and gore. - its about gladiators, so really, i should watch it. and it looks like a well-done show!! so yay!!

i'm still Misfits obsessed. I need more. MORE. i need something to tide me over! If i could watch the eps with my family, that might do it, but they changed the days and... arg. Misfits is AWESOME!! series 2 just needs to be here already!

OOH, im also going to go see Predator tomorrow with a buddy from work!! so i'm excited about that.

but yes. Friday. Going to Kelowna. Good times will ensue. I can't wait to see the fam again.

feeling kinda loved right now.

and by 'kinda' i mean 'really'

maybe i'm just feeling good about myself. i dunno. but drewbie and i are going for dinner on friday (its quarter end, and i was kinda grumpy yesterday morning, so he's taking me out. which is super sweet and very much appreciated), then going to true confections for dessert (OMG PIE!!!! <3)

on saturday i'm going out boating with sarah and her dad (and possibly some other ppl), but we'll be spending the day on the water, and gibsons island or smth, so that'll be fun. i haven't been on a speed boat in... years? i'm excited.

on sunday i MIGHT go to grilled fromage with ppl, but i might veto the lake. i haven't decided yet.

ALSO!! ALSO! ALSO!!! Its Darin's b-day on sunday, so even if I DON'T go with the group to squamish/cat lake, i'm DEFINITELY going to Darin's suprise bbq dinner that evening. Christina called me to MAKE SURE i would go, because, according to her, i'm one of Darin's favourites. which totally brightened up my morning even more.

AND i might have coffee planned with a guy that my sister's bff tried to semi-set me up with before (if my sentence is grammatically incorrect, i don't really care). but this is VERY tentative, as in i told J this morning that i'd be down for coffee with this guy. so she's going to give him my number, and we'll see what happens from there.

so yeah. feeling pretty good right now, despite the semi-craziness at work.

and! I had a glee dream last night. I think Rachel and Mercedes had like a... sing-off of sorts (they were on the football field), and then they were inside, and Mercedes must have won, because rachel was really upset, and went to finn for comfort, and he hugged her, and she was crying, and then he's all, Hey Mr. Schue, did I tell you about Jolly Ranchers? I really like Jolly Ranchers' or smth stupid like that. he was just being... really stupid in my dream, and i woke up slightly mad, because he was only sort of trying to comfort rachel. like, yeah, he was hugging her, but he was having a totally stupid conversation over her head. he was laughing and stuff, and she was in his arms, all sad and crying. i was all, why the eff is he being so stupid? and then i woke up, so it was ok.

ok, so i haven't updated in a while.

i've had a busy couple of weeks, but other than that i don't really have an excuse. i'm just lazy.

ok, so i haven't updated since LAST month. man, i suck at lj.

I saw the midnight viewing of IM2 when it came out with Aggie, even though i had work the next day. Granted, I didn't think it was as good as the first one, i did enjoy it, and I plan on seeing it again (at least twice - once so that kepp0xy and i can have an international movie date, and once with my aunt who ALSO loves Iron Man!!)

( IM2 thoughts-ish )

OMG, The Eagles on the 9th was fucking amazing. But i'm totally biased. I would love them regardless. Still, they started with 7 bridges road, ended with life in the fast lane, then ended the encore with Desperado. It was just amazing, and they're still so funny, and seriously... just an awesome night.

{if i'm going to be brutally honest, i'm really glad it was on mothers day. i think it gave us all something to look forward to. so best mothers day i've had in a couple years, for sure}

On the 14th, i went to the island to visit the woman. ( My weekend in Victoria! )

Sadly, on Sunday Sarah's grandmother (JJ) passed away. So she wasn't at work that week (understandably). And my friend Sonia was getting ready to get married the week after, so that was exciting and busy.

OMG. So... East Indian Weddings? ( Kinda cool )

Ooh, also, on Friday the 28th, Drew and I both had the day off, so we went on a little adventure together. We decided on having lunch earlier in the week, and then he said lets go somewhere! It was a REAL adventure - a mini roadtrip. We got in the car and said, Pemberton is as FAR as we'll go, so anything in between us and there is fair game for lunch. He drove, of course (because he wanted to drive, and I didn't want to, so it worked out perfectly), and this was the first time it was just him and me and the open road. We listened to my iPod so we listened to my Rock Band playlist for a while, then we put it on shuffle, and there were some songs that I rocked out to. We made it to Whistler, looked for a place to eat, chatted, had to walk around again because we didn't really pay attention the first time, had lunch, walked around a bit more, went to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, then we went back to Drews and we watched Glee. OMG, the car ride home was pretty fun. Drew and I got some chocolate covered espresso beans, and he said that about 3 of them was like a cup of coffee, so a popped 6 in my mouth and the craziness began. We had about 10 each during the drive, and we both were a bit... nutty. We took a lot of side streets to get back to Drews, and we saw a PINK !! house. No seriously, I shrieked PINK when i saw it. There was absolutely no other way to say it - it was that pink. and awesome. So yeah, before we left my place that morning, i made sure i had the first half of Season 1 of Glee in my bag - Drew had promised me that he'd watch it, so I was making sure he was going to keep that promise. We watched the first couple of episodes, and it was about 5-ish when Jamieson joined us, and we ordered sushi and watched a movie - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - ( Oh Heath! (and Johnny, and Jude, and Colin!) ) After the movie we watched another ep of Glee (Acafellas) and then Jamieson and I went home. It was a fun day.

Drew, I am proud to say, watched the rest of Glee without me.

Last week was month end stuff, and that was pretty busy. Watched Glee with Sarah on tuesday. Not much else happened I don't think.

This Friday i spent some time with Sarah before we were picked up by Chris and Kieran to play ( Boozeopoly! )

So the next morning, i woke up around 8 830 (after going to bed around 4) and got out of bed around 930, bought my sis some delicious brekkie at De Dutch, got home, had a 3 hour nap, then hung out with my sis for a bit (we had started watching Dead Like Me earlier in the week) and then I went to see Get Him To The Greek with Amber, Ryan& Jamieson.

That was a pretty funny movie, i have to admit.

Yesterday Drew and I went to Prince of Persia, which I really enjoyed. I might even see it again. (ha, MIGHT.)

I have this friday off, so I might go see the A-Team. I haven't decided.

But yes. That's my life update.

Current Music: Snow Patrol ~ You Could Be Happy

sometimes i hate the backspace button. you have something all nicely written out, then BAM!

its gone.

But i guess that's what you get when you're not paying COMPLETE ATTENTION or something.

anyway.

so this weekend was Moving Weekend!

not for me, though. for 2 of my bffs. Sarah (and her bf Nick) moved out of their place on Friday, and Drew (and Kyle) moved out of their place on saturday (to different places).

so, on my MUCH DESERVED day off, i woke up at a reasonable hour - maybe even an UNreasonable hour, considering it was my day off - and helped my Person move. I've got an SUV (2009 Subaru Forrester), so there's plenty of room to put stuff, once i've put the backseats down. so anyway.

( Day 1 of Move 1 - Sarah )

( Day 2 of Move 2 - Drew )

Ryan and Jamieson had a game, so Amber went home for a bit, I dropped of Jamieson at his car (at drew's old place) then went home for a bit, Drew went to Ryan's to watch the hockey game.

After Episode 2 of Weeds, I got a call from Drew saying that he and Amber were on their way to the icerink for dinner. so off i went. The three of us ate dinner, and showed up at Ryan and Jamieson's game partway through the 2nd period, and they were getting their asses kicked. Then Jamieson got in a fight, and Ryan got in a fight, and Ryan lipped off the ref, so he got kicked out, as well as one of the other star players on the team... it was brutal.

Drew had to go after dinner, as he had a Rollerhockey game (with Kyle), and Amber and I watched the hockey game with our friends Jake, Angie, and Cori (who is Andrew's gf, and Andrew is on Ryan and Jamieson's hockey team). So. After their defeat, the guys met up with us in the lobby of the rink, and everyone except for Andrew&Cori, and Jamieson, went to Drew and Kyle's rollerhockey game, where they KICKED ass.

Jamieson showed up after the game was over, and we all decided that we'd go to Boston Pizza to hang out (like the old days). Kyle didn't come, as he was tired from moving that day, and he'd just finished rollerhockey, and he just wanted to chill in his new place.

So we get there, and since i was still full from dinner, i just had water. (also, i'm broke). Then i called Kieran and made him come out to see us, since he'd bailed on me on friday, when we sorta had plans. He had just finished a family dinner thing, and he was more than full. (but i guess 6 pieces of lasagna will do that to a person... ok, i don't know for SURE if it was 6, but he had 3 different kinds of lasagna, and he said he went back for seconds...)

So we hung out there for a while, and then we all went home.

Sunday... was GLORIOUS!!!

I did absolutely nothing ALL DAY.

My sister was out doing a little roadtrip to Seattle with her girlfriends, so i stayed in bed, and i watched movies. I started watching a bonus feature on my Cry Baby DVD, but they mentioned Sandra Dee, and I was reminded of Gidget, so... i youtubed it. That movie is kind of a guilty pleasure. I love it. its just so... i don't know. a chick-flick. after i watched that (all 10 parts on youtube), i took a nap. I deserved it, I think, after my busy weekend. Anyway, I woke up, because Kieran was going to give me flowers before he went to mexico.

He bought flowers, and then decided he didn't like them. So since I was with him when he bought them, i guess he decided to give them to me, even though I have the Black Thumb of Death, when it comes to gardening. but i thought, what the hey, they're free flowers.

So he came by, and we hung out in my parking garage for about an hour, just talking and chillin. I found out that i could piggy back him - and he's a pretty big guy. but yeah. i got my flowers and he still had to pack for his week-long mexico trip.

I watched Cry Baby when I got back upstairs. And damn. Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is one hell of a man. <3

My sister came home just as i was finishing up with Cry Baby. I hadn't eaten all day, so i had 2 tomato&cheese sandwiches while i watched my second movie, and she had a late lunch in the States. So we watched Weeds for a bit, then we both got hungry around 9pm, so she had a sandwich, and i had mac&cheese that i was going to eat for lunch. but its all good. we got in our sisterly time, as we hadn't really seen each other all weekend.

But yeah... that was my weekend. out of the 3 potential days off i had, only 1 was a REAL day off. But i had a good time all three days. Spending quality time with ppl who are awesome.

This week Iron Man comes out, and so I'm STOKED ABOUT THAT. My friend Sonia (aka Boss)'s bridal shower is on saturday, and then OMFG, ITS THE EAGLES CONCERT ON THE 9TH!!!!

and then i got plans to head over to the island on the 14th to spend some time with my Woman. so that'll be nice.

man, May is going to be Busy!

Yesterday i was grumpy. It started in the morning, and I don't know why. I"m not pms-ing or anything either. I was just cranky. i was cranky up until after lunch. then i started feeling a bit better. but i feel like i was angry at things and people because i was grumpy, and not because i had any real reason to be.

this morning started out with me spilling my first cup of coffee ALL over my desk. I was more upset at losing all that glorious, delicious tasting coffee than having all my stuff covered in it.

so i mopped up my poor wasted coffee and went downstairs for another cup. There was NO WAY i was going to continue my day without coffee, especially if it started out like that. but i laughed about it, because hey, what else can you do? (i was grumpy yesterday, i wasn't going to have two grumpy days in a row!)

so i got another coffee (and was very careful of where i placed it on my desk) and things have been ok since then. My Person is not here today as she took a much needed day off. But she did ask Jen to make sure I had lunch today, because i tend to not eat when she's not here.

Anyway, my day hasn't been too bad since then. I bought some Tension Tamer Tea last night, and brought it to work, and i'm very glad, because after that cup of coffee, i had some tea and it totally relaxed me. thank you,

skullycat , for introducing it to me, <3

but yeah. jen and i had lunch and talked about boys, and how her situation is going. she's not one to really talk about her feelings with her guy, but i told her that was fine. if things work out between them, no one can really expect her to change in that way. she's not going to transform magically into the Perfect Girlfriend because they are officially together or anything. i told her to be open to change, but to not change herself in any way. and i told her that when she's talking about her feelings, to not say 'but'.

its a total "HIMYM" moments - the whole saying two good things about someone, "but..." - yeah, i told her not to do that. because she complicates matters more than she needs to. so hee.

when i got back upstairs from lunch, i went on fb (cuz i had to feed my Happy Pets! DAMN YOU,

skullycat !!!! damn you!!!) and i friended my old high school crush. Jen suggested i do it, and i had thought about it before, so i did. I'M SO BOLD!!!

anyway, tonight i might hang out with

timeblind if she's not too tired (and possibly Sarah) or i might head out with the guys to see a band i went to high school with. it really depends on

timeblind .

Sarah and I will most likely be having a girls day on sunday, complete with chick flicks! so i'm looking forward to that!

I can't wait for next week. i can't wait to be with The Fam again. We're not making a turkey because its just too much trouble (especially if its only going to be 8 or 9 people). Kim and Mares have already planned the menu, as we will be making dinner. We're having Japanese food!!! so its all good. chilling with the family next weekend is going to be awesome!! <3

( Friday night... )

( Saturday... )

( Sunday!! )

So my weekend? Pretty amazing. got to see good people, and a good movie, got good food, spent time with my friends, and got a surprise in the end!

( Monday )

( Tuesday )

( St Patty's Day! )

( Thursday/Friday! )

( Saturday )

( Sunday )

Monday... was good. I can't remember anything memorable about Monday except going to Daddy's for dinner, and talking to Sarah on the phone while she drove home from Langley. And tv shows were on!!

( Tuesday )

Yesterday, I stayed at work til 7pm, but had a nice chat with

goldenrockstar around 5-ish for about an hour. So me and The Sis didn't get home til about 8, as we went food shopping beforehand.

OMG, we had SUCH an AMAZING dinner last night. Roast Beef Sandwiches!! ok ok, it was one of those pre-cooked in gravy, ready in 10 mins roasts, (but whatevs, it was late) on toast with melted cheese and mustard, with mashed potatoes with sour cream, broccoli&cauliflower in cheese sauce, and buttered corn. seriously, it was fabulous and totally hit the spot. AND we watched Mystery Science Theatre 3000, and that movie is STILL hilarious.

but yes... that's my life update.

I've once again decided to be Posty Posterson. or, at least, i'm going to try and keep my life updated on lj.

or something along those lines.

I have this friday off!! and I'm totally going to indulge in my Sushi Addiction!!! Seriously, I was totally craving it yesterday, when I saw my coworker get some for lunch. (dynamite rolls, iirc, even though thats not what I want. GIVE ME TUNA & SALMON SUSHI OR GIVE ME DEATH!!! well, not death, just sushi...)

So, i'm looking forward to that.

really, really looking forward to eating sushi. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Ok, what else? I was supposed to go out with

skullycat &

goldenrockstar last night for coffee, but Karen bailed since her fiancee is finally back in town. I'm not complaining about not going out, cuz that means i got to watch NCIS and Lost!!! (i'm so happy that tv is back, btw).

( NCIS )

not that my happiness is linked to this show or whatever...

( LOST )

I'm excited. shit is going to down soon! or something.

In Other News, My Person (Sarah) and I have decided on my Work Crush. Not the one that lives on the other side of Canada (who one day I will eventually meet, i think, maybe, if the worlds align, and he'll fall in love with me, and we'll live happily ever after, or smth, even though i've only talked to him twice, but his name fits my list, so, we'll see. I'm hoping he's a Tall-y. A broad Tall-y. I like tall guys, ok?). The one in our office. We both appreciate his looks and he's got a nice voice, and I see him walk by a lot, and she has HER work crush, and I wasn't overly fond of the one she picked out for me before, so.... yes. Oliver (i love that name too, btw), is my newly acquired Work Crush. I don't think i'll turn red whenever he talks to me, like Sarah does when Her Work Crush talks to her, but... yeah.

Ok, so pretty much every morning when I get into work, the first thing I do is I get coffee for Sarah and I, and i take the two cups of coffee and i walk to her desk to drop hers off (i'm a good friend). I saw Oliver this morning as we passed by each other, and he commented on my two cups of coffee, and i swore that they weren't BOTH for me (ppl sometimes comment on my coffee addiction in the morning, but the other cup is for SARAH, Dammit!) so i drop off the coffee, and then she's all, oh we're going on a break now, so i went with them, and on our way to the elevator, we see Oliver again, and i pointed out VERY CLEARLY that I had ONE cup and Sarah had the OTHER. So the three of us had a chuckle, and he went down the stairs and Sarah and I went to the elevator, and she was all, ooh, yeah, he's good looking. and i TOTALLY concurred, so we decided right then and there that he was my work crush, cuz, lets face it, he kinda already is.

man, love (or something) is in the air. or its in my system. lol.

so... the olympics are over...

Sunday I braved it, and I went downtown to watch The Game.

And it was insane.

skullycat , kaeda and i were practically crushed on the sidewalk at one point. but we escaped, managed to pull back from the crowd and cross the street, to walk on the other side, where it wasn't nearly as insane. go figure. we lost Kieran in the crowd, but we found him again on the other side of the street, which was a good thing, because he was carrying the stroller. He left to go find the guys, and Karen and I took a short walk to see if we could find a tv we could actually see. and we did. around the corner, right outside the CTV building.

So that was fun. People crowded the area, watching the game, people would cheer randomly, strangers would come up to us and ask us what the score was... it was great!

Karen's mom met up with us during the... third period, i think, and we left the crowd before OT started, as we had to find a place to change the baby. We found a mall close by, and managed to watch the Final Period at a food court with a tv, and a bunch of other people.

Downtown was pretty crazy after that. Maaaaaaaaaassssssssssssive crowds of people cheering, celebrating... it was an amazing thing to see and sort of be a part of. it was insane, in a good way.

We were advised by a cop not to take our little one down certain streets, because the crowds were 'stupid', so we took the long way around to get to the skytrain station.

also? the skytrain was stupid full, but it was ok. and it was kind of funny, because closer to home, i noticed we were on the same train as Kyle, Jamieson, Rueben and Mai.

I got home, had a nice shower, then hung out with

timeblind and

kepp0xy . they picked me up, and we walked through the Ozone, then went on the Ferris Wheel.

Ok, so when we were standing in line, we heard people (girls) screaming bloody murder on the ride, and were all, pffffffffft, whatever. (even though we did notice it was going pretty fast).

i've never actually been on a ferris wheel before. and i'm also kind of afraid of heights.

So the three of us squished into one seat, and... yeah. it was fun and terrifying at the same time. We Survived the Ferris Wheel of Dooooooom!

Then we had dinner with this guy Vikki and I met a few years back, and every so often wants to hang out. So we graced him with our presence and had sushi with him in Steveston. it was.... interesting.

Afterwards, he left, and

kepp0xy and I joined

timeblind at her work to watch her to her latte art and drink free decaf lattes! i had 3...

but it was a good night, spent with good people, and fun times were had!!

Quite a few people have stated that they miss the olympics already, and i have a feeling that downtown is going to seem very quiet now that the olympics are gone. i'm not saying its a bad thing, or a good thing, but i'll sure be different.

what a difference 2 weeks can make.

3 Olympic Records were broken by Canada this year. Damn, I love being Canadian!!
