work and rambling.
Lately I've been getting a lot of shifts at work.. full time baby! (I am on-call so I guess on average 3 a week) but the last two weeks I've been working even more. Next week they want me for Monday - Friday.
Maybe I will have a little bit of a life? This coming week I get to work 7-3pm so I get the whole evening off. Right now, its afternoons so it kind of screws the whole day up. I get home late, sleep in sorta, and mornings are lovely - most of the time it's just me - the house all to myself, but I haven't seen Mik all week, my mom for about 15 minutes if that a day, and my dad oh a little bit more. ah well TOMORROW IS SATURDAY! I like weekends!
So anyways, in my mornings I've been cleaning!
I cleaned my room top to bottom now that it's my own again! Literally top to bottom.... if you know me, you will know what I mean.
I moved all my stuff in there again and re-arranged it all.
Mik is moving downstairs into the room I was staying in, and upstairs is going to be an office and a guest room. Wow-e
I am actually looking forward to having Mik come downstairs. I am a people person most of the time. I always was downstairs when Miranda lived down there and bugged her and basically hung out there only coming up for dinner, tv and sleep.
but now that I live down there, nobody visits so I go upstairs a lot more than I used to. I'm looking forward to helping Mik arrange her room and get everything together and finish mine completely. ah I love getting things organized.
P.S. I need a big world map to put on my wall... ebay Miranda?
hopefully I can cover up this hideous 70's retro mirror with paint crackled on it.
Will post pictures in a few minutes after I do laundry and actually take the pics.
ah I don't like my posts pictureless.

I'm It.
I've been tagged by Miranda to list 10 random/weird facts or habits I have.
1. I can flip both my thumbs completely backwards. I can dislocate all my fingers, wrist, and my left shoulder...
2. I really hate it when I can hear people chewing. My biggest pet peeve. Makes me cringe. Bananas are probably one of the worst sounds, and so are big crunchy chips.
3. I've eaten Moose, Deer, Rabbit, Kangaroo, Bear, Squid, snails, and raw fish to name a few of the more random things.
4. I can never eat anything like 'momo's' again (made them in India). Kinda like tempura or deep fried won ton things. They make me feel so sick - most likely since it was the last thing I ate before getting the sickest of my life. Just thinking of them gives me a nauseating feeling in my stomach.
5. I've husked, cracked, and ate and drank a coconut on the beach in Australia... It was tough work.
6. I broke my nose when I was three.... spinning + stairs + music = no good. I ended up in a hardwood door.
7. I wiggly my contacts around (while in my eyes) and it freaks people out.
8. My stomach feels not good on the swings, yet I have no problem with roller coasters and thrill rides.
9. Goal - to visit all continents (except the arctics) . So far 3 (soon to be 4 out of 6)
10. I twiddle my thumbs when I am bored.
I tag James - he blogs less than me I think. If you see this, you're tagged.

ink pink you stink
Ouch. Like on Miranda's blog, you can definitely tell that we were in the sun today. My face is itchy and stings, so do my legs and my chest. Really awesome time with Miranda and the family in Vancouver today. I love beaches. I love sun. I like tans...I hate burns.
ug being 'pale' or in other words pasty sucks. Burns easy and never tans. I don't really know what happened, but I actually may have a tan starting on my arms! I hope that my burns turn into a tan.
This is my second burn of the year, first wasn't bad at all (I wore sunscreen like 3 times that day) and today I couldn't find the sun screen I brought. Ouch I sure paid for that one.
ah well it was fun anyways. Here I am - burns and all - all my face, scalp, arms, legs, chest, shoulders. Ah anything that got sun.
I will get to that tag question later though. Time to watch a movie.

todays thought?
"The contemplative life is often miserable. One must act more, think less, and not watch oneself live."
Nicolas de Chamfort
I like quotes, they are simple lines (usually) that make me think. I think I think too much too much of the time. Sure it's good to think before speaking...that I seem not so great at, but for the most part I over think way too much and will probably end up stressing myself out over what could come of this situation, or what will happen if I ....
That is probably one of the hardest things for me, I am not spontaneous very much, and if I am I am usually wary of what might happen. Probably since I wasn't able to think things through and figure out what Might Just happen before hand.
Life is way too unpredictable to think out situation after situation and I think that I get caught in just 'watching' life pass me by too often.
Note to self: need to think less, stress less, and get involved.

I saw this one on my starbucks' cup the other day and found it thought provoking.
news news news
News:
Jen (the girl living with us at the moment) had her baby on April 30th and now she is home :) baby girl at 9 lbs 8 oz.
I like babies.
I got to hold her and feed her and oo so nice. I even got to poke in on them in the hospital since I was working that day too. awww she is such a sweetie pie :) Mum and Mik think I am a baby hog since I have held her more than them. but hey, it's just because I was there.
In other news:
I got my plane ticket today!!! I leave Vancouver on the 16th of September, arrive in London Heathrow Airport on the 17th, and return on the 11th of November. oh wow I am so excited!
I love flying. My flight's going to be 9 and a half hours... but I love it. Aus was much much longer but I still loved it. I remember seeing turquoise water around tiny islands that were almost perfect. aww I miss it. OH! AND I remember seeing the sunrise over the ocean with big puffy clouds and beautiful clouds...oh it was awe inspiring.
.... hmm but I didn't really like the one going from India to Singapore.... the girl behind us puked all over the aisle... it smelled rank and their air fresheners gave me a headache and + all they did was put a blanket over it. Sick.
OOO and this one time from Seattle to Texas there was a thunder storm and I remember hearing a *BANG* and dropping .. woooooosh. My stomach in my throat and white knuckling it
until we landed. haha Teresa looked at me and said "Are you okay??!" hahahahha - this was my first real flight too.
.... uhhgg and flying home from Texas.... I was so sick and felt completely miserable and the pressure felt like knives (and I mean big steak type knives) going through my ears and jabbing in my brain. I also coughed so bad I felt sooooo bad for the other people in the plane. I probably had the plague and gave it to everyone there too.
haha I still think that the good outweighs the bad.
Any tales or horror stories?

forwards and all that crap
I hate forwards, I usually delete them unless I am super bored and read the newest in my inbox. Today was one of those days, but this one is actually not bad. So I am going to post it on here. Think of it as an email hahaha
Thanks to you, I no longer open a public bathroom door without
using a paper towel.
I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what
the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie
channels.
I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only
imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.
I can't enjoy lemon slices in my tea or on my seafood anymore
because lemon peels have been found to contain all kinds of
nasty germs, including feces.
I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving
because the number one pass-time while driving alone is picking
your nose (Although cell phone usage may be taking the number
one spot).
Eating a Little Debbie sends me on a guilt trip because I can
only imagine how many gallons of trans-fats I have consumed over
the years.
I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on
the floor of a public bathroom. Yuck!
I must send my special thanks to whoever sent me the one about
poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet
sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.
Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the
same reason.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl
(Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the
1,387,258th time.
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I
receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are
sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels
looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my
every wish.
I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible
mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell
like a water buffalo on a hot day.
Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered
if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish
within five minutes.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it
can remove toilet stains.
I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to
watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat
when I'm pumping gas.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make
these products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on
their cans.
I no longer use Saran Wrap in the microwave because it causes
cancer.
And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in
the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my
face...disfiguring me for life.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could
be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me
with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are
actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't
support our American troops or the Salvation Army.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial
a number for or which I will get a phone bill with calls to
Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.
I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now
have their recipe.
Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a
big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me
instant death when it bites my butt.
And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00
dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there
by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from
certain gas companies!
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the
next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your
head at 5:00pm this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will
infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this
will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next
door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's
beautician...
Have a wonderful day...
Oh, by the way...
A German scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has
discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read
their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.
Don't bother taking it off now ...... it's too late.
I think I got almost all of those forwards one time or another. It's pretty sick. But whatever I know that some people will never stop sending them.... it's like an addiction towards spam = (stupid pointless annoying messages.)
Now go and break that chain letter that is waiting in your inbox. You know it's been going around since 1864!
