our just desserts?

we ate a lot of dessert. and then... out for dinner of course.

hardest puzzle ever

it's a hologram puzzle of the four seasons. sometimes it looks like autumn and winter, sometimes it looks like spring and summer. this is a picture of the actual finished product. d is so good at puzzle!!

stuff about stuff and stuff

so i got the living room done, but that is it. i didn't even do the dishes. some laundry essentials will be done tonight, but that is the extent of the cleaning for this long weekend.


darren is good at hockey. but you know what? he is good at everything. it's annoying. he doesn't suck at anything. he can't type as greatly as i can. so that's something, i guess.


allison asked me if i want to be in the room with her when she gives birth. i really don't know. my response was "as it stands, i still want to have a baby someday." meaning that i don't know how i would feel after seeing blood and goo and hearing screaming and such. i'm really thinking about it though.

speaking of allison, i hung out with her and her friends on saturday while zombie-thon went on in the basement. i like girl talk. and having someone to help me pick on allie was also great.

saw guys and dolls on sunday with mom, granny, auntie d and auntie p. very fun. i love live theatre. the only thing i didn't really enjoy was the singing of "sarah brown". she was a great singer, but i don't like when they get to that near-opera level. "adelaide", on the other hand, i could have listened to her forever.


hockey again today. steph and i didn't wear our skates. i have a blister on my calf from the last time we played and steph's feet got really sore. i ran my ass of though. ahhhh, the floor hockey memories.

my peeps for the day:

dreams really do come true...

matt good.
solo acoustic tour.
tickets on sale today.
oh my god.

"ok, pretend you're a guy..."

as per request... here is what the front of the black valentine looks like. there is a story that goes with it; however, all you need to know is that i am funny and teenagers love me.

hearts and stars for everyone

here's some love i got yesterday from a couple of girls out at evergreen... i love my job.
***if you can't see what they wrote, click on the picture, it will open in it's own window and you can enlarge it***

and check this out... sometimes i worry about what really goes on between cam and darren.

so, how did you sleep?

ok, here's the story.

d and i are in our room watching american dad. it is funny. i am very comfortable and almost asleep... but then there's this loud noise. "what was that?" asks d. i say, "probably the balcony door upstairs, but it sounded like ours. go check." so he opens our bedroom door, takes one step into the hallway in his boxers and says "what the fuck, man?" and then what happens????

jen says, "i called but you guys didn't answer. i have money for you."

yup... you read that right. instead of buzzing us to announce her presence at our home, she broke in. and i think she implied that it's our fault because we did not answer the phone.

so, the moral* of the story is that i feel extremely invaded upon. previously living here does not give you the right to break in through the balcony door, wear your shoes through our apartment and then let yourself out the front door. RING THE BUZZER!! i wish we were doing it when she came in... karma for BREAKING INTO OUR HOME!!!

the other moral* is that the balcony door is always locked now. who knows who could have seen her climb up and over. giving criminals ideas... thanks.

oh... and she did give us some money. although i text messaged her twice this weekend and threatened to report her cell phone stolen if she didn't change it over to her name. thanks for that too.

* i know these aren't really morals *

welcome to awesome town

tonight i cooked a delicious peppered chicken stirfry served on a bed of rice. i rule.earlier today we went out for breakfast and then we went antiquing. well we went around to a couple of antique malls. i sat at the "kids korner" in one of them and colored a b-e-a-utiful picture of a cupidish monster. again, i rule.later we went to the movie poster shop that is just off whyte because i have decided that in addition to having our place decorated with stuff that our friends make for us, i also want to have very old adult movie posters. they didn't have many and what they had was not what i want. so we got nothing. this part of the day has nothing to do with me ruling.and then even later in the day we went out to see if they were showing the olympics on tv anywhere because i wanted to watch at least one speed skating race where it didn't look like there were 25 people on the ice. this was due to us not having cable and our rabbit ears sucking a bit. but they weren't showing the olympics... the oilers game was on. and it was only half way through the first. i rule. (d rules for suggesting we go out, but i rule for complaining)

hmmmm...

i wonder how much of each person's day is spent just waiting. impatiently waiting. biding their time. chillin'. "i can't wait for this waiting to be over" waiting. anxiously waiting. checking their watch over and over again waiting. the trying-not-to-look-like-i'm-waiting waiting. sketchy mclookaround. aaahhhhh, my waiting is over.

hockey & hair

update: for more hockey pics, go visit cam or mel or both...


so yesterday was hockey day. we played for 3 hours. so much fun. we made a few friends... 2 nine-year olds and a little guy (maybe 4 or 5). the little dude was more my speed... he had no skates and a tiny plastic stick. perfect for me to play with. he told me that i was a very nice girl. and then he said "chrissy... bring it on!!"

and this is my new hair. what do ya think? huh? huh?

c hearts d

just in case anyone misunderstood... d is great! the other night he listened to me get some things off my mind and even rubbed my back while i cried. we talked a lot (like always) and made some life decisions. he was worried that what i said about him in the last post made it sound like he made me cry. au contraire...

ps
it's take care of chrissy day. new hair is on the way!!

the groundhogs have it easy...

i totally had a story to tell but i didn't write it down and i took too long to get on the computer today so the moral of the story is: DO IT NOW!!


i have many many rants going on in my head lately. it is february you know. that cozy time of year when i lose myself in myself. this is when i tend to be sad a lot and not really want to do much of anything or talk to much of anybody. this all came to my attention about 4 years ago. technically, it's called seasonal affective disorder. i don't really think i have the actual illness, but it sounds fancy. i'm really trying very hard to not slip into it this year. and thanks to global warming, this winter hasn't really been like winter at all. that is making it easy to stay chrissy. i also have d, who listened to me cry and cry last night and even encouraged me to cry some more... to get it out. mike asked me yesterday how i deal so well with what i do at work, what i see and what i hear, actually having a face to put with a horrible story. i guess this is how i deal... if it didn't affect me, i would have to be a robot. but if it gets to me too often, then i can't be of any help to these kids. it has to seem like it doesn't affect me so they don't feel like freaks. so every february, i lose some of the wall. and in doing that, my own life starts to get to me too.

so... that's what's going on. i'll be fine. i'm actually feeling great today.
