This kind of heat makes me feel like I'm moving through thigh-deep water. Except it's my brain that has slowed down, not my legs. Hard to slow them down when they are just stretched out on the couch. Sweating.

Last week was fairly eventful. On Tuesday, M&K came to stay with us at the Fairbairn-Sinclair B&B: the first B usually deflates completely ( Read more... )

Ch-ch-check out my new avatar, Peoples. I managed to fit a few of you in at the bottom, adoring me.

From 1997-1998 I attended the Canadian Mennonite Bible College in Winnipeg. I didn't know what to do after high school, and people told me CMBC was just an extension of that (since I spent my last two years of high school at a Mennonite boarding school). So I went.

Soooooo. Job interview. Huh.

Before we even got started I knew I didn't want the job. Oh, don't get me wrong, the jeans were small and cute. But I had been thinking alot about what ( Read more... )

Well, kids. Tomorrow I have my second interview of the summer. The first was for the Census and I was hired as an operator, but turned it down for numerous reasons, low pay = not worth it, being one of them.

But now we are all sheer desperadoes and could use the cash after Pants took basically two weeks of vacation and then Shuswap-a-palooza.

I'm ( Read more... )

On Thursday we met the gang in Calgary, across from the Olympic Park ski jump. We only really knew two of the gang real well - MP (aka "The Groomsman who Wore a Suit That Fit") his g-friend TM (aka "The Less Wordly and Wry Shoes"), the man who was our wedding bartender (JC - but not the JC, although that would have been cool) and his Aussie wife ( ( Read more... )
