so i now know of one reader. and i'm so happy! happy because someone is actually reading. happy because of who it is. happy just to be happy. 
birthday weekend in calgary. good company, not so good punch, amazing matt good show.
going to get xmas lights this weekend hopefully. not going to put them up, i'm not crazy. there's a giant santa with some ugly reindeer down the street. never wanted to vandalize something so much in my life.
sometimes i worry that i am boring and sometimes i feel so totally bored but i don't know what to do about it. so much sitting around. get up and get out? i know! but where? everything costs money. we're going to vegas in february so that's where all of our money goes right now. walked around whyte on the weekend and i totally loved that. spent very little. i'm also dreading winter. then there's no options really of what to do because it's so cold that i really don't want to go outside and start the car and scrape it off and wait for it to warm up and then go somewhere and get out of the car into the blistering cold... i just made myself sad.
is it too early to make resolutions? usually i hate seeing or hearing anything christmassy until at least my birthday is over but this year is different... don't get me wrong, i'm still all about me on my birthday but i love that there are so many christmas things out and around. except for lights on houses... so too early.
i read this blog written by a girl in toronto, raymitheminx. i stumbled across it clicking on links from matthew good's website a long long long time ago. i don't know why she is so facinating to me. It's not that she does anything crazy amazing... she just seems so real. maybe that's what it is. it it feels like i know her. i know that i don't know her. i only know what she wants the world to know but it makes me want to know her. but that's how she writes. for like 5 years, i've read her blog... i hope she never stops.
a day off in the middle of the week... hair and laundry and cupcakes!
i got up too early today. but that's ok because it's friday. i love fridays. fridays mean jeans at work, an evening with lisa, people in great moods... i love all of those things. it's supposed to be windy and rainy and cold today but i don't even care. i also love thursdays. not quite as much as i love fridays but it's pretty close. it's the lead in to friday!!!
we saw 2 movies this week: inglorious basterds and district 9. both were great. during the end of inglorious basterds, my heart was pounding like i was the one feeding the film into the projector. i literally had to tell myself that it was just a movie. and district 9... i left feeling very sad. it totally got to me. so good.
and i've decided to stop not caring about me. again. but i've also decided that i'm not going to talk about it. i'm just going to do it. wait... does this count as talking about it??? shit...
we went to the green day show on monday. 
we decided on saturday that it was ridiculous for us to not be going so thanks to kijiji, we got some pretty wicked seats!!!
it was amazing... victoria was on the floor and saw some guy rip his shirt off all dramatic like when they came on stage. charmaine was there too and now has a black eye.
when i took my sociology of death and dying class in university, i had to plan my own funeral. "good riddance" was to be playing to a beautiful montage of pictures of my life. but then it was everyone's grad song and it was even on an episode of er when a little boy was sick and eventually died. i was the originator, people. just wanted you all to know that.
darren is such a manly homeowner. he has a circular saw and a ratchet set and some screwdrivers and a toolbox to keep them in. i have a caulking gun and a lot of swiffer products. not so manly.
so i'm not too sure why i'm writing on here right now... bored and tired of looking at boxes that need unpacking but not having anywhere to unpack them. yeah, that's the ticket!!!
we kind of just forgot about the seedy life. we've kept living it, just stopped documenting it. and that's made me kind of sad. looking back on everything is kind of cool. have you noticed all of the "kind of" 's in this paragraph?
so let's review:
and the not so nice:
i found the sketchy area... on the other side of the school. it's sketchy. but i don't even care. i love it here. our house already feels like home. our street is cute and quiet and amazing.
