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!

I have wings again!
Ah! I am so excited! I have final dates set for my trip this fall.
From September 16th to November 11th I will be backpacking across Europe with my friend Susan (hahaha backpacking with an American in Europe)
I am so excited! I can see my friends from YWAM again! At least a couple of them.
So the trip so far - start in London, England. Make our way up to Liverpool, and then to York and visit our friends.
Then back down to London, onwards to France (not sure if it will be through the chunnel or by boat yet).
Down through France, hitting Paris of course, and then down to the south coast, on to Italy, hitting up Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples? - then to Greece!
The next bit is the hazy part - don't know if we are going to go the way we came or go through, say, Switzerland? Germany?
But we are going to go to The Netherlands - go to Delft and visit another ywamer! yay! and then through Belgium or something to get back to London and fly home.
Still in the planning phase with the details (hence the green bit), but this week I am getting flights to and from London. Oh I am so excited to see my friends again - I never thought I would again. AND this will be my forth continent to set foot on.
If you have any traveling tips or idears for the trip would be cool. I've traveled a bunch before, but not like this. So let me know what you think.

Oldies
I was watching an episode of 'The Twilight Zone' on youtube just now and it reminded me of BATMAN!
I loved watching the re-runs on tv when I was younger. The *BAM* *THWAP* *WOOOSH* are awesome. Too bad I haven't seen them on tv in years.

ranting
I'm just thinking out loud here so yep here we go. Oh and I guess this sounds very biased and maybe even mean but whatever it's my blog :P oh an no I am not trying to sway anyone away from their beliefs. or say don't be a vegetarian/vegan.
I've found that from my mum that all the cooks in the kitchen at camp really uh... 'dislike' vegetarians.
The bad ones mess it for everyone. You know the ones... or should. The ones that won't eat anything unless it is specially made for them...and then later on dump a whole lot of beef gravy on their poutines. The ones that can't eat anything served - because it contains traces of trace amount of animal products.
Come on people. It is a choice but don't make others suffer in the middle. I don't think that a little milk product in something will kill (unless severely allergic) . Yes I know that standing up for a belief (killing animals is wrong and blah blah blah) but that is not going to stop people from eating meat. Not that that is the point to start out with but.. ya. There will always be meat eaters, then their will always be animals 'treated poorly' to make meat edible for them. Yes, I know that it doesn't have to be that way, that eveything can be peachy keen with everything, have some rainbows on top of that and yay! Animals will never be killed or hurt so those freaky meat eaters can eat something..
Geez.
okay so byproducts of products that could contain trace amounts of animal things.
okay so choice. choice is good. its a right we have in this lovely country we have. Being a straight vegetable eater is good, I like not eating meat for a change, though I don't think I will do this forever. but who knows. It's made me think of all those vegetarians in a 'new light' not just something that is weird and picky. I know some people even do it becuase they cannot digest meat, it's all good. if that is what makes you feel good about life and rainbows and lovely stuff it's all good. but does it completely kill to eat trace amounts once in a while if in public, say at a conference or something? Instead of
I don't know if I would call myself a vegetarian, I do eat only vegetables but I am not for all they may stand for - if anything, and I would eat meat if there was no other option.
the other day I had the worst day at work and I came home and ah shucks, there was only pizza with meat on it. That sucked. so I said screw everything and I shoved two pieces in my mouth... ham and pineapple by the way. I was too angry to care.
ah well.
I gotta go eat some breakfast now. and see everyone eat bacon.. now that is one thing I think is simply disgusting haha but anyways.
there is my biased thoughts and rants and I like vegetables.
this may not make any sense to anyone but I like to type and mention that some people have to bust their buts to make special foods for special people... even if it is a simple choice for them on their side.
bye :)

Yes, I know that it doesn't have to be that way, that eveything can be peachy keen with everything, have some rainbows on top of that and yay! Animals will never be killed or hurt so those freaky meat eaters can eat something..
Geez.
okay so byproducts of products that could contain trace amounts of animal things.
okay so choice. choice is good. its a right we have in this lovely country we have. Being a straight vegetable eater is good, I like not eating meat for a change, though I don't think I will do this forever. but who knows. It's made me think of all those vegetarians in a 'new light' not just something that is weird and picky. I know some people even do it becuase they cannot digest meat, it's all good. if that is what makes you feel good about life and rainbows and lovely stuff it's all good. but does it completely kill to eat trace amounts once in a while if in public, say at a conference or something? Instead of
I don't know if I would call myself a vegetarian, I do eat only vegetables but I am not for all they may stand for - if anything, and I would eat meat if there was no other option.
the other day I had the worst day at work and I came home and ah shucks, there was only pizza with meat on it. That sucked. so I said screw everything and I shoved two pieces in my mouth... ham and pineapple by the way. I was too angry to care.
ah well.
I gotta go eat some breakfast now. and see everyone eat bacon.. now that is one thing I think is simply disgusting haha but anyways.
there is my biased thoughts and rants and I like vegetables.
this may not make any sense to anyone but I like to type and mention that some people have to bust their buts to make special foods for special people... even if it is a simple choice for them on their side.
bye :)
Perfection!!! I WANT IT NOW!
Yesterday I made pies pies pies! I love making pies. I blare out my music, dance , and bake all in one. Kinda sounds like I'm getting high... hahaha not. I just find it and it's like I get 'in the zone' almost. Yesterday was alright for pies - I made one berry one first and it didn't set at all (so I thought) and I was angry because I even added extra cornstarch! >:(
so that one didn't turn out, so I made another one - this one did, though it turned out to be so dark - that makes me kinda angry too (I usually make lovely pies - golden crusts and all that jazz, but not yesterday.
So I made a crust, had scraps left over so I added them to my pile and made a sorta half pie. Then I made the berry one, then came another crust for the lemon meringue (which I did this morning) and that one had more dough left over.... enough to make another crust... but I ran out of pie plates hahahaha so hence the funny looking pie. It's chocolate by the way (and cling wrapped in the picture)
chocolate ^^^
mixed berry (strawberry,blackberry,blueberry.... ya it goes on) \/
The lemon meringue made me angry this morning. First I woke up at 6 - the phone. Bloody dang phone! (I am not a morning person usually) so ya, work called, I didn't want to work so I screened it... then 10 min later... and 10 min after that... until I was too angry and picked up the phone and said ' no I cant work today' and hung up.
then I am awake (and angry >:( )
I remembered that I needed to do the pie before the turkey today so I might as well do it now.
It all went okay - my first lemon meringue.
>:( it didn't work as well as I would have liked. I beat the eggs too much and it wouldn't make peaks.
makes me disappointed and angry.
I think I am a perfectionist....
now is turkey time. I am going now so bye.
oh and I didn't take a picture of the berry pie (because we ate it - thought it was too runny... but it turned out decent) and the other one we ate too. sick so much pie. I am going to be pied out soon.

Glorified clothes hanger?
So I went to Mik's fund raiser for a school field trip . It was a garage sale of all things. First thing I see is an elliptical (my favorite thing to play on at the gym) so I was looking, and wooaaah it was 15 whole dollars. I thought naw.... it wouldn't work. But I tried it, it works perfectly, so my mum was like go for it - I thought heh its 15 dollars (two gym trips) so why not give it a go.
I love it. Best 15 in I've spent in a while. I now have it in my room (no other place really) and it is nice. compact. and I put my computer in front on a chair and watch tv on my computer. I LOOOVE IT. It has a digital distance (in m AND km! hahaha), calorie, speed and time counters. The only thing missing is the heart rate monitor but I don't care for that much anyways.
Anyways, I made an awesome soup yesterday - beans (whole bunch of random ones), canned tomatoes, celery, carrots, and onions. It took a long time to finally finish (with the beans and all) and in the end well worth it. Add some easy biscuits and lovely dinner right there- actually everyone ate it (and I was just thinking I would).
Also I went with my mum shopping - she knows more about vegetarian food than I ever knew/would know. So she was telling me about all the subs and stuff - got lots of beans, nuts, dried fruit, spinach, ooh the list goes on - but the newest was quinoa - its like seedy grain stuff - and you can put it in lots of things - I like it in salads so far - and it's cool.
I love sweet chili sauce. On anything hahaha (maybe) even great as a salad dressing.
I had 3 cups of coffee today..mmmmmm I think I might be addicted.
OOH one more thing -I got my mum an awesome Pride and Prejudice box gift thingey and it's awesome. I didn't know what was all in it - but got the soundtrack, a book, movie, and oo so pretty! That movie I think is my favorite. It looks like a lovely book and aww makes me go all so girly and sigh every time I watch it. ^^
have a good night y'all!

Veggie?
So I have been thinking lately, heh why not try out vegetarianism? I always thought I would never be able to do it but I want to actually try.
it's something different and new for a change - something challenging.
I think the only thing I will be missing is chicken and meatloaf (sounds weird but it's a comfort food). No idea how long I'll be able to do it, but I was thinking taking like 2 months to try it out or something.
So I told my mum yesterday and she was all like ' if I see you eating unhealthy I will force feed you' and my dad was in the kitchen and he looked at me with the 'who are you and what have you done with Aria' kinda stare.
So this is day two of my challenge and so far so good.
Anyone have any good recipies?

Tastey Muffins
as I said, I am sooo much better at baking than cooking.they are lovely to look at, haven't had one yet (because I am waiting for the ones still in the oven)
Blueberry bran muffins. I googled a recipe and the second one I found I could make. so far so good. 3 min to go in the oven.
I modded the recipie (like I usually do) with the only apple sauce (the best home-made stuff ever) we had in the fridge, and hell no to non-fat milk. My family is dead set against anything less than 2% hahaha.
Oh and for the last batch it looked like it was lacking berries so I popped in some blackberries.
This probably sounds boring but I am bored before I pop them out of the oven.

mmmmm I love berries. They are the best.
So it's been a while
oh how many times have I started out like that... haha
ah well
I was just going through the 'favorites' list on my sidebar and looked up some of your blogs (I guess I am more of a lurker than poster but oh well)
I was looking up on my 'favorites' again.. went to this cooking site, then bloggers, and wow here i am - so I thought about posting random dinner idears - (Miranda you inspired me so this is mainly for you!)
So here are 10 random things that popped out of my brain right now:
- crepes (oh so yummy and you can use some of those blueberries - also alright with jam if no berries... but I know you have them)
- quesidillas - I've had this thing about spicy yummy food lately, and salsa is great (so is sweet chili sauce)
- sweet n sour meataballs!
- farmer sausage w/ spuds and some veggies and all that jazz
- butter chicken - get a jar - dump - add chicken - voila! hahaa
- or go for a breakkie type farmer sausage w/ eggies in a basket. I haven't made those in years. (in case you don't know - bread with a hole in it and egg in that hole... and fry.)
- poutine plus whatever you feel like
- the freezer assortment - pick out some edible things and cook and eat.
- sloppy joes
-grilled cheese and tomato soup - so classic so tastey
so there ya are for random food idears hahaha
now I am going to go find something to bake.. I like that better than cookin haha
ah well
