Wrong Reaction
Saturday, December 15, 2007
The biggest snow storm in recent memory is supposed to be coming tonight. On the way home from finishing our xmas shopping we heard on AM 640 that MMA fighter Ryan Gracie had died. Very sad news. Then a few minutes later the host had a guest on talking to her about how the storm tonight will leave us with the most snow in December since 1944. She reacted as if someone told her the killstorm had been upgraded to level "Blood" and has already left 53 dead, and thousands of tiny kittens homeless and freezing to death in the streets. Literally she yelled OH MY GOD!!!! lol. Yes everyone please pray for me, I will be stuck in my nice warm house all weekend wrapping presents, painting the basement, eating pizza and drinking wine.
Why is God so cruel?! Doesn't he know I hate STORMS?

Chocolate Rain Oops Paint
Thursday, November 29, 2007
So last weekend we painted the livingroom! This is what it looks like. I sprained my toe in the process but it's done, it's brown, and.. I love it! We were thinking of painting it light grey, like the kitchen, but felt like that was too cool of a colour for all the sepia we had in there. It needed some punchy Chocolate Rain brown in there.
Tip #1 in how to be like me: try and get lucky with some oops paint at the store. This was a 5 dollar gallon!*
*In case you don't know what "oops paint" is, it is the paint at every store that mixes paint for you, that people have either saw and didn't like or changed their minds or didn't pick up. Because of that the paint is ridiculously marked down in price. Just ask where the oops section is if you don't see it.
This is my living Holiday Tree. I just figured I would get a pic of it before it is no longer living. I will be pretty impressed with myself if I can keep it alive until Christmas gets here! It has sparkles on it by the way.
This is our little movie/computer set-up. That is not where the chairs are supposed to go! When we find a suitable desk chair that I like then maybe I will retake this picture. I have so many movies stocked up for the winter I think I am OK if we get a snowstorm now.
I have been attempting to fight off the flu with that Cold FX stuff, plus some Vitamin C and NeoCitran. I am also drinking nothing but OJ. Usually I do this when I am already helplessly sick beyond repair and sound like a man BUT I am trying something new. Taking care of myself! Haha. If you want to be like me you ignore everything wrong with you just to, you know, "see what happens!"
So tip #3, is buy some Cold FX, or even the generic brand which is basically just caplets of 100% organic Echinacea. I'm feeling not so shitty, this is fantastic!

That's my family, aww. I think this is the only picture that exists of all us girl cousins together. We're going to have to have some professional black out the other blonde girl.. I have no idea who she is. lol. Oh and those "whassamatta for you" guys in the background too, ya they can go.
Today I actually got to be out in the first snow of the year, yesterday I just watched it from my window. I have noticed that it's one of those things that you don't miss at all until you see it. I stood there and thought "oh yeah" like it just dawned on me that I really like snow and winter. lol. I think it's a universal feeling, maybe it's some kind of survival thing deep down in our DNA to remember previous wintertimes. Like when I am 81 I will stand there and think "ah shit" instead; or "so this is the year I am going to die shoveling snow".

Whatever I was doing here, it was hilarious apparently. Kinda looks like I'm telling them a story via my crotch.

Antonella said "let me try on your glasses so I can look smart" so I said "then you should probably put down the wine"

I have no idea who she is. lol. Oh and those "whassamatta for you" guys in the background too, ya they can go.Today I thought about a few times when I was a kid, what I liked to do in the snow. One year I dug out the bottom of the picnic table to make an igloo. 2 hours later I had an igloo and I was fucking freezing. But you know the thought of all that happy digging made me smile, especially when my mittens got completely soaked because my mom or my teachers would put them on the radiator to dry. Sometimes you would have to go home or back outside and they hadn't fully dried yet so they were still damp, and how much that sucked. Not all memories have to be good ones. lol. It made me smile because no matter what, that was just a winter thing, and nothing else. Just like my grandma yelling at me every time I left the house to put on a hat.. wait that's not an annual thing.. that's all the time ;)
