I wanted to call in sick today, but figured that since I still had a lot of tings on my desk that I had to finish, I'd go in and then go home for the afternoon to snuggle up with an afghan and neocitran and work on my husband's christmas scarf (which I got finished tonight, so it'll be a total secret when he opens...

Hey, lady, you haven't updated lately. Everything still cool?

Well, it's too bad you're going to go, but feel free to drop me an email before you cancel your account!
It is SEPTEMBER.
It is cold in my apartment, but that could be a direct result of my complete lack of physical activity today.
In two days, my husband is going to England to watch soccer and buy things. He's only gone for a week. His parents and his grandparents have both called to tell him that he's not supposed to go in the Tube....

i didn't go to bens party. i forgot. i suck.
we got the furniture thru boyinbrown's livejournal-- there's a "winnipeg for sale" group where people post things they want to get rid of. i think the couple who sold it to us were getting married and wanted more "grown up" stuff. i think we got a great deal.
best of luck with the craft room cleaning.

I wish he was contacting me more. Did you hubby try to email you every day?
Maybe I'm expecting too much, I know the person he's staying with doesn't have any internet connection.
Oh well, I've been having a pretty good weekend anyway.

I want to go to Alaska for maybe the last time ever this weekend to buy a hoodie for me and a jacket for my grandpa for his christmas present.
Right now I'm finishing my mum's now very late birthday present (yeah... her birthday's in April... so?) and then getting back on my lace scarf.
Hooray for arts and crafts!

Today was Cleaning Day. Which usually means that my husband tells me to get off my lazy ass and we do the vacuuming and dusting and everything that's out gets put "away." (ie: where you don't see it out anymore.)
This kind of cleaning leaves me frustrated and unsatisfied, so I took the reins yesterday, though.
My husband LOVES to watch Clean Sweep and thinks...

Walking home smells so good.
As you approach my complex, you're overwhelmed by the smell of Christmas.
They cut down all the pine trees (I don't know why) around the complex and covered the gravel behind my block with pine mulch and it SMELLS SO GOOD!
I'm having a really lovely week.
Whee!

Most Oprah book club shit is nothing but fluff. Except that now she's recommending classics, so those are fine.
If you want somethin' fluffy, go read some Maeve Binchey, she'll make you wish you could live in Ireland in the fifties. I like Circle of Friends.

I tricked a bee in Alaska today.
He was eating clover and trundling from clover to clover making a little bee sound, so I picked a clover and put it by him and then he went to my clover and I moved him to some yellow flowers instead.
Silly bee.

I love bees. I wish I was a "bee charmer" like in Fried Green Tomatoes. You know, one of those people with an affinity for bees, and the bees don't sting them?
guidedbyvices:
I like bees. I'm still cautious around them because I've never once been stung by one and have no idea whether I'm allergic to bee stings or not.
I'm working on getting you those "Spaced" DVD's. It still confuses me as to why the show hasn't been released over here after the popularity of Shaun of the Dead.

Little bit drunk this afternoon.
It's a long weeked for us Yukoners, and we got to close a little early so we could go to the design company we use (that be Inkspirationz, babies) to drink some booze. I was the only one drinking wine. Lucky for me it was a delicious German reisling.
Something Mueller.
Yummy.

Nothing like a good mid-afternoon drinking fest!

I like your useage of the word "spoot". It just sounds cute!
25lbs total weight loss since last summer at this time.
That's more than 15% of my total body mass.
Who's rocktastic?
Me.
Also Dylan Moran who plays Davs the twat from Shaun of the Dead needs to be shrunk down and sit on my shoulder so he can pour his heavy liquid sex of a voice directly into my ear.
My my, that voice is...

Hey, that's rocktastic indeed! Good work!
I can't remember what that dude's voice sounds like. Is he the one that got ripped apart in the pub scene? I remember that he was an asshole, but I just can't remember his voice. Although, I do like GuidedByVices desription of his character!
The job interview went pretty well, I hope hope hope hope hope that I get that job. It pays $17/hour! But I won't find out til the end of the month
Poop!
