Hello modder, hello fadder...
The arrangements have been made, the kids are off to Camp Howdy the week of July 30th to August 5th. This is the first time Alex will go to camp so should be interesting. Ian and I will have to start planning for our "kid free" week. The possibilities boggle the mind. -
My son is very smart
So Alex has taken to asking me if I'm better yet, if he hasn't seen me for a few hours. When he arrived home from school today he asked me again. I said I was better, but I wasn't all better. He looked at me and said "What percent are you?" I had to think a bit, then I remembered that a couple days ago I'd responded to his "are you better yet?" ( Read more... ) -
Thought for the day
OK, I admit it. I'm a Catholic and my kids go to Catholic school. Because we receive partial funding from the provincial government, the kids must be taught evolutionary theory. I don't personally have any difficulty intergrating evolutionary theory into my belief system or explaining it to my kids, so this doesn't really bother me the way it does ( Read more... ) -
Downtown conversation
As I walked downtown yesterday around lunchtime I was surrounded by the office set. As they passed me, I overheard a man say to the woman he was walking with: "if only you would start wearing underwear, you wouldn't have that problem. The woman's skirt was tight enough that "that problem" wasn't having her skirt blow up into her face and they were ( Read more... ) -
Exciting news!
Yesterday I heard from my Plastic Surgeon's office. It seems they had a couple of cancellations and I was in the receptionist's mind because I'd called last week to see how things were going. Sooooo, I'm going for my reduction on the 15th! I did have a few moments hesitation because I was concerned how it would effect my job, but I was convinced by ( Read more... ) -
Sick sick sick
Yes, I have pneumonia again/still. My theory is that I never really got over it before Christmas and when I gave myself that concussion two weeks ago my immune system just tanked. Consequently, the pneumonia had a chance to really blossom. I've been off work for over a week now and I'm on my second set of antibiotics. The doctor didn't think the ( Read more... ) -
Nice surprise
Ian came home from work on Friday with a gift from a vendor. He gave it to me: An iPod Shuffle! I've wanted an iPod for so long and I love it. Speaking of iPod's, has anyone seen the iQuit ad that's out there. Nice parody. iQuit -
I feel soooo stupid
Yesterday morning at work I did the most stupid thing. I was using the bun rounder on a "double batch" of scones and having a hard time getting it to squish enough so I started bouncing on the lever. Normally I do this from the side, but lately I've been doing it straight on (might have something to do with lack of space). I'm not sure how: I ( Read more... ) -
Promotion in the works
Yesterday Tony told me that the Head of Production at Head Office approached him about my taking a position as a Production Manager Trainee at the Commercial Drive Store. Apparently it happened a week ago and Tony's only just now telling me about it because Tony was considering not telling me so that he could keep me at Brentwood. He thought better ( Read more... ) -
