ho hum...

o.ne. i loathe the gym

t.wo. i have a "personal trainer" appt next week (i got a free gift certificate for a session when i signed up so i figured i should at least use it...maybe i'm more dutch than i thought.)

t.hree. my doggie is cute.

f.our. i'm really stalling in the hopes that i remember what i wanted to blog about.

f.ive. i can't remember.

s.ix. i'm going through mcdreamy withdrawal (that's a grey's anatomy reference for those of you who are unfortunate enough to not watch it.)

s.even. can't remember what i wanted to post about so i'm outtie.

and she claims to be a photographer...

i got to see melissa this weekend...
i went to graduation...
i got to see lots of people i haven't seen in ages...
i went out to celebration graduation dinner with the in-laws...
i went to the lake with the hubster and the dog...

do i have one freakin picture? NO! what's wrong with me?

fizzled...

so we went to watch victoria day fireworks last sunday night...

norm, alan, heather, ryan (my drinking buddy) and i...

i wore a t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, and two sweaters and my old man hat cuz it was freezing...

and there were no fireworks cuz it was too windy...

but we had fun anyways...

the end.

sometimes it's nice to know you're not crazy...

we're "trimming" the bushes that are overtaking our backyard(and driveway and sidewalk) and the "trimmings" are temporarily being stored in a corner of the dog's pen. (don't ask) mr. darcy thinks it's the greatest thing ever. here he is, playing king of the jungle. and he's chewing on so many twigs he probably gets splinters when he poops! and on that note, have a good one, eh? :D

and more randomness...

oNe. i'm sad because ever since i started working (october) and driving on upper ottawa, there's been a pair of sneakers hanging on the powerlines. everyday i would look for them and i drove under them and they made me smile for some absurd reason. today, they were gone.

tWo. i joined a gym?

thRee. i have to go to some elders/deacons thing tonight at church for them to "interview" all us new members. yet another hoop... let me get my jumping beans...

foUr. i watched the two hour finale of grey's anatomy last night and am sad that i have to wait FOREVER for a new episode.

fIve. i threw money in a street singer's guitar case today for, i think, the first time ever.

randomness...

.one. i want to be a back up singer for alicia keys when i grow up.

.two. i ate deep fried pickles last night. and sat at a bar that didn't serve alcohol.

.three. i'm getting a pedicure on saturday.

.four. i despise worms in my garden even though people tell me they're good for the soil.

.five. i'm trying to find out if a set of encyclopedia-ish books (copywrite 1898) is actually worth anything to anyone (and yeah, i'm getting paid to do this highly advanced research.)

i love spring...

watching flowers grow is so addicting and mesmerizing! they change every day! in the fall i bought a bunch of bulbs but when i was planting them, i found hundreds of bulbs already in the ground! front yard, back yard...and it's great because some are already opened all the way, some are still changing colors and some are still coming up!

what my adoring fans want to know...

so let's see what's been happening in my life since so many of you keep pestering me... (ok all two of you but anyways...)

here are the cold hard facts:

1. on april 22 i had some wicked surgery on my gums. apparently, my gums are falling of and needed some sort of cut and paste job to fix them. they cut pieces of gums from the back where my wisdom teeth had been taken out and pasted them onto the teeth (3 of them) where the gums were falling off. now if you're thinking that sounds lovely, then i urge you to rush out and get the procedure done on yourself! the only "lovely" thing about the whole ordeal were two magic blue little pills (no, not viagra you perverts!) that were some sort of sedative. let's just say that i have no memory of walking out of the waiting room to the dentist chair, walking down the stairs on the way out, coming home, what movie(s) i watched, that my husband left me home alone, what time i went to bed...it was awesome and very trippy. i can see the appeal... the whole recovery process is still ongoing as i go in to get stitches removed this saturday. let me tell you, having gross stitches hangin 'round your mouth for two weeks is not so awesome and trippy.
2. we spent easter at my dad con el perro senor darcy. he played with my dad's 2 dogs and lisa's dog. one big happy family! their dogs run around loose (they have an electric fence thing) so darcy was living it up. he didn't even really try to run away...
   
3. thursday night my sweet hubster brought me a lovely bunch of gerbs. we had norm's buddy from work and his fiancee over for dinner. they just bought a house relatively close to us. it was fun but kinda sad cuz i've yet to find girls around here that i really click with. am i that weird? maybe i've just had the best and nobody else compares...
   
4. this past saturday i spent at mom's with the dog too, having a yard sale and decorating a flower pot she had to make for a contest at work. i'm still not sure why she called me on thursday in a panic begging me to come but whatever... this sunday we have our last new members class for church. we've invited the whole group to our house for a bbq potluck for our last meeting. not really sure why, just sounded like a good idea at the time. apparently i get re-affirmed (as opposed to profession) of faith sometime soon... and i'm supposed to write "my faith journey" and hand it in to the pastor on sunday too...ergh!
5. our elder is coming over tomorrow night to meet us...
6. spring has been lovely here, my flowers are up! (not that you can tell in this crappy picture of my house! but they're there!
   
7. yesterday i called in "sick" to work. i honestly wasn't feeling well but i probably could've gone in, let's face it, my job's not really physically exerting(is that even how you spell it? see, i'm very unfamiliar with the word). i ended up getting groceries, losing my keys and locking myself out of the house, driving to the shop to get norm's key, taking him out to lunch, and taking darcy to the vet for his heartworm check up. all in all a good day doing things on my own time. i only feel a little guilty...
8. last night we watched "match point," a movie declared to be a "hidden gem" by blockbuster. well, it's hidden for a reason. cuz it totally sucked. don't watch it.
9. today was really crappy at work and i was almost in tears this morning. it was brutally frustrating. so then at 4pm i was like, see ya tomorrow and my boss said he wanted to talk to me about my job sometime later this week. crap, i'm so fired cuz i have a bad attitude. turns out their giving me another raise! which is cool and all, but i totally didn't expect it at all, it being a non-profit and all and them always saying how the donations aren't coming in. maybe they're trying to keep me happy. but then i feel guilty... cuz i should want to sacrifice more....
10. and right now i'm eating hershey kisses and i'm going to do the canada census thingy that came in the mail. why? cuz i'm a dork and like doing survey stuff.

(happy now? you asked for it, you freaks!)
