  1. I’m late I’m late

    June 30, 2005 by Louise

    Hi there, bloggy people! I guess I took a bit of an Internet Break there, didn’t I? Miss me? Huh didja? Yeah I know you did ;)

    Okay. My birthday went very well and I had a tonne of fun with the Cosmic Bowling (really just bowling with blacklight on which was pretty cool anyway). I gave goodie bags to everyone who came which they seemed to enjoy. I got a bunch of awesome gifts, which although I don’t EXPECT gifts on my birthday anymore (have I ever mentioned my theory about how I figure that my mom should get a gift on my birthday because she had to do some serious work getting me out of her body?), I am totally excited about.

    1- DVD of the Karate Kid. The Perfect Movie. Seriously. Wax on, wax off.

    2- Tangerine smelling candles. They smell good.

    3- a gift card to Chapters.

    4- a cookbook which may well be the most perfect cookbook of all time.

    5- a little marriage book which has all kinds of love quotes in it so that’ll be good for our wedding favors.

    Rob also gave me gifts and gifts and gifts (the main of which is his LOVE, yes I’m mooshy but whatever). He also baked me a cake, the results of which can be seen on the good ol’ Flickr to the right there.

    Voila.

    Okay. Aside from that I’ve been sitting around complaining about how hot it is here (yeah, and when it’s cold, I’ll be pissed off about that) and watching my gut expand. Stupid gut. Why can I not eat cake and ice cream with for every meal without gaining 400 lbs? This is not a situation I enjoy. (Dear Internet please do not tell me that if I am really eating cake every moment of the day then of course I’m gonna gain weight and I should really lose weight because I already know it). I’ve also been reading (the books that Heidi and Megs sent me are SPECTACULAR and I read them and I’m going into withdrawal and everyone’s excited about the new Harry Potter and though I love HP I am not too excited about it seeing as I haven’t read the last one yet).

    Today (in like, an hour or so) Rob and I are leaving for PEI to visit mes parents. We’re picking up my sister’s boyfriend on the way. THAT is turning out to be a whole thing, which I will save for a passworded entry on another day (I still don’t know if she reads here or not– she sometimes can and sometimes can’t). We’re also going to speak to a priest and check out a possible reception site for the wedding. Have we packed yet? No. HAHAHAH WE ARE THE KINGS OF PROCRASTINATION!

    So I should go do that. But I wanted to say yay about going on a little vacation, and my birthday, and that I love Rob so so so much. I also wanted to say how hugely disappointed I am that the passing of bill C-38 here in Canada has gotten very little recognition inside “the bubble”.

    June 25, 2005 by Rob

  4. Nummy

    June 23, 2005 by Louise

    I love grilled cheese sandwiches. I could eat a grilled cheese sandwich (if correctly prepared, like the one I just had for lunch) every day for the rest of my life and be happy.

    I also love ice cream. However I need to keep reminding myself that ice cream isn’t going to disappear from the world, therefore it’s not necessary for me to eat all the ice cream I can possibly find in one sitting.

    Also? Grapes. Green seedless grapes. Oh, grapes, my love for thee knows no bounds.

    Tomatoes fresh from the garden, still warm, rinsed off under the hose.

    Okay, I’m stopping, I’m stopping.

  5. it’s somebody’s birthday I wonder who

    June 20, 2005 by Louise

    Saturday is my birthday. One friend keeps asking me what we’re doing… no one else has really mentioned it. My thing is this: I’d love to have a party. LOVE TO. I like parties. I like being celebrated (yes, self-centered, I know, but hey I’m telling the truth). I like getting presents (even though I’m not ALL ABOUT presents, admit it, it’s nice when people give you things unless it’s chlamydia). But at the same time, I have this immense fear– what if I threw a party, and no one showed up?
    So. Go out to dinner? Okay… but isn’t that a little boring? I know I’ll be 29 and that is a Grown Up Age, but I don’t want to do Grown Up things yet. But what other things can we do? Bowling? WHAT IF NO ONE SHOWS UP?!
    Yes, that’s my main fear. It happened once (my 7th birthday– all my brother’s friends showed up, and only ONE of mine, because everyone else was gone to camp or something) and now everytime I consider having a bday party of any kind, I cancel it because I fear no one will show up.

    Okay this was a retarded entry.

  6. Happy Sunday

    June 19, 2005 by Louise

    It’s a beautiful Sunday. Well, it’s a cold dreary miserable Sunday, but it’s Sunday and I have been napping and reading and shmooping around so I like it.
    GUESS WHAT? MEG MY BIRTHDAY TWIN SENT ME A BIG BOX OF GIFTS! She did! I will list them all later because at the moment I don’t want to go linking everything because i’m so lazy but suffice it to say that my first course of action was to run out and buy a frame for the card (goshdarnit though, I am not good at measuring with my brain so I got the wrong size but whatever) and then take over the couch and start reading my new book because I had just finished the book that Heidi sent me. Which was excellent. And the new book from Meg is excellent. So far, so good on the new book front :) .

    We finally paid all our rent for the past… well, April, May, June, and July. So we paid four months worth of rent on Friday because I finally got a big fat backdated cheque from EI. Of course after having paid all our bills, the cheque is no longer even plump, but yay our bills are paid! The phone is turned back on! The cellphone got a free upgrade and now there’s a cameraphone which explains the flickr image to the left (at the moment it’s a picture of a lobster claw that was sitting all alone in the bottom of the lobster tank at Sobeys– my proof to the world that lobsters are horrible mean creatures that will rip each others’ claws off because they’re meanies).

    Rob also found my Stitch n Bitch book but I had already started on the blanket thanks to Sabrina, who emailed me the pattern I was looking for.

    I also bought a few beads and some wire for a try-out of a wedding craft (yes I know our wedding is a year away but I’m anxious and don’t want to be stuck beading things the night before the wedding or, as my darling friend Michelle so wisely said, I will end up walking down the aisle with fake birds glued to my arms and beads up my nose, talking to the birds because I will have gone crazy) so wish me luck on that one. If it works I will take a picture and it will be up here somewhere.

    I think that’s all for now. Wee-ow, what a lot of stuff! Oh wait, I have to leave you with one of my favourite quotes from the ever-so-awesome Home Movies which is my favourite cartoon yes I watch cartoons. But it’s better than the Simpsons, I tell you.

    Jason: One night I walked into my parents’ room, and they saw me naked.
    Melissa: You were naked?
    Brendon: Jason, why were you naked?
    Jason: I love it.

  7. doop doop dee doo…

    June 17, 2005 by Louise

    Since I STILL CAN’T FIND MY SnB BOOK DAMNIT I am going to take a nap. Before I do, though, I want to put this link up (my friend Michelle sent it to me and she is supercoolio, and she also loves plastic duck guts). I have no idea if it’s “real” or a joke or whatever, but if it’s real, we may as well. Here we go:

    I have voted in the national e-referendum on whether Parliament should pass bill C-38 which would legalize same sex marriage in Canada. This referendum is located at http://www.referendumcanada.ca and I hope you will take the time to visit this site and also cast your vote.

    Right now it’s kind of a province-by-province thing and while most provinces do allow gay marriage, some still don’t.
    I think people who love each other should be allowed to get married. That’s all.

  8. Stitching? No… bitching.

    by Louise

    I’m getting very frustrated. I can’t find my copy of Stitch n Bitch anywhere. I am in SUCH A HURRY to start the Big Bad Baby Blanket for my brother & sis-in-law’s baby who is due in early August, but I need the pattern and again, I can’t find my copy of the book ANYWHERE.
    Ze ghost has returned (ha…ha.)
    So if anyone out there has SnB and wants to be a love and email me that pattern? I don’t think it’s illegal because I own the book, plus it’s less than 30% of the book, plus you’re not selling it. I could be wrong there, but I promise I’d take full responsibility.

    Also? Eight days til my birthday. YES I’M COUNTING.

    *******

    SABRINA is an angel– she sent me the pattern, so now I just have to get started. Yay!

  9. Oooh, skin.

    June 15, 2005 by Louise

    Rob did a little work for me, and now the site is skinnable. Look over to the left there under “themes”. :) Happy early birthday to me! (by the way, it’s in 10 days. So is the wedding of the ever-so-lovely Jessica and Casey). And also the birthday of Meg, who is just plain megalicious. I think it’s nice now to know that I share my birthday with more than just George Michael and Carly Simon. Although they’re nice, too.
