We moved and it's amazing. I will wax on about that later. For now: A question for my vegetarian/vegan friends: What is your sick comfort food? I have a summer cold right now and it's gosh awful. The only protein that I find that works wonders is chicken. Plus I'm craving red meat like there's no tomorrow and so am unfortunately eating a lot of it right now.

Here are the vegetarian/vegan things I've been trying to counter with:
-lots of ginger
-lots of garlic
-onions
-vitamins
-green tea
-peppermint tea

I'd eat a tofu roast but that takes two days to make and I'm not feeling up to doing that right now. I can't eat most fake meat products anymore because they almost all contain wheat. Help!

Survived - am now overheated from sitting too close to too many candles

... i don't know if this is good or not

This makes my day better. Can't wait for test to be over.

Yesterday, I had a fantastic girls night with Cahlie and Crystal. We had a remarkable amount of fun even though my poor lack of planning left us only with Surrey locations to play in. Today I saw the world's tallest tin soldier (it weighs three tons) and spent a lovely day with Owen down in Granville Island. All and all - a fantastic weekend :)

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me, for you!

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year. No guarantees when, it will be a total surprise!
- You have no clue what it's going to be. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. Uh, but if you're my friend, you should kind of know this already.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to repost, and repost right away.

Awesome.

"Rock a Bye Baby" really is a terrifying song to sing to your baby.
Just a thought.

I might be studying too much. I'm now reading hemoglobin as hemogoblin.
ROAR!

rattyleaf has introduced me to two flash games which have ruined me with both addictive game play and music. Now I'm passing them on to you. Go forth and procrastinate.
Bunny Bells and Bubbles

Just got home for seeing The Chieftains and other such amazing acts such as The Cottars and fire dancers at the Surrey Fusion Festival. Pretty gosh darn amazing. I've loved and listened to The Chieftains since I was about 10 years old. It made me so happy to see them. And they had some amazing Irish step dancers with them. Fantastic.

Life is pretty amazing right now. Except for the fact that I keep on fighting with pretty much everyone I talk to. Verbally of course. But, still.

Awesomeness #1: We've Had Lots of Visitors
Christina (piig) and Teresa (rattyleaf) came over two weekends ago and we went to go see KRAZY which was funtastic. Loved it. Everyone should go. I wasn't even that big of a comic fan but man, good stuff. My fav. is The Arrival. I need this book. We also found another fantastic used book store. Buying books, especially used books is such a thrill. For me. </nerd>

Last weekend Dennis (smallnbitter) visited us and we golfed! I haven't golfed in like... four years. It was a little tragic on the links. But, despite playing my worst game since the age of three, I really enjoyed it. Part of my enjoyment might have come from the fact that the entire golf course was licensed. Seriously. Only in Surrey. That was pretty freaking amazing. I also have the best golf bag in the entire world. It belonged to my Nana and I think she got it in the fifties. It's baby blue, but in a good way, not in that 90's terry cloth everything way. Lovely weather and good weather on a golf course is truly the best thing ever. I can feel the Scotish in me bagpipe squealing.

This weekend we're having Cam (capn_cjm), Tessa (tessa_v) and her boyfriend Todd over to stay...... and....... we're having our first Surrey party! I'm so excited. Ya'll should come. There's going to be so much food, drink and good times. Weeeee! I love hosting parties. Don't remember the last time I did. Excellent.

Awesomeness #2: Everyone's Moving To The Mainland (are you?)
Julia (juliaboolia) just moved here and Lauren (laurenabc) is moving over this weekend! Yee haw!

Awesomeness #3: Local Events!
Thanks to our local events expert (even though she just moved here. puts us to shame!) Julia we went to a Kite Festival which brought out my inner child. Tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up at 5am to go ride a 50 year old wooden roller coaster for free. Booyeah. I love this coaster and have already been on it it dozens of times, but for free? And while most are asleep? This I can not pass up.
