look what happened (less than jake)

Check out what happened last night...
Jen woke us up at 3:00am. Our car alarm was going off. In the morning... we found this. Surprisingly enough, nothing was taken. We'll have it back tomorrow.

This city can kiss my ass.

ps... the apartment building that you see on the left isn't ours. that's what we call the "trailer park building"... cuz of the ripped awnings and overall feel of the place.

daughters (john mayer)

everyone, this is ava. she is the little one. mike is the hairy guy holding her. i hope we can meet her sometime.

oooooooo whatcha gonna do? (run dmc)

this is what i do when i have nothing else to do. it's ok. i know i'm a geek.

wrong way (sublime)

which way do we go? which way should we go? then it's settled... we go east!!

today (smashing pumpkins)

mike has a daughter. her name is ava marie lynn. i haven't seen her yet, but he says she is "perfect and beautiful." awwwww!!

i think i'll go now and pick my husband up from work... c ya!!

ps.
one week till matt good!!

what you waiting for? (gwen stefani)

i talked to eduardo today!! for those of you who don't know, he was in my tesl course. he is in chile with his wife and kids right now. yay yay yay!!

and d talked to scott yesterday. him and candice moved in together and we got their new address and d said he sounds "much better than he did." yay yay yay!!!

robyn stayed over with us this weekend. (she is my 14 year old cousin). her and i went to see the corpse bride (which wasn't so great), but we had a great time anyways.

d went to a party at mat's house (which was apparently the best thing to ever happen to him). let me tell you about mat. mat is the lead singer of plainsay and one of the greatest, kindest guys i know. i work with him and the band's bassist, andrew. i have also worked with, at one time or another, jonathan (guitar) and tyrn (drums). these guys are great, and i love them. so anyways, this party at mat's was a "talk & jam" meaning that they had mics set up and their instruments plugged in. guess who mat convinced to play AND sing?!?!?! yup, darren. i'm pretty bitter about the whole thing, but also soooooooo very happy that d finally got up in front of people to play.

thank u (alanis morissette)

thanksgiving saturday...

thanksgiving sunday...
fun and turkey and then more fun and more turkey!! too many pictures to choose from so i'll put more up later.

big city life (matt good)

things that are new (by chrissy boone)
~ i passed my TESL course
~ mike and ryan got a new house
~ my new job started on monday
~ d is giving thomas guitar lessons
~ bobby & allie sold their house (and they are having a baby!!)
~ i love spicy japanese peas

who's that girl? (madonna)

this is lia (and her doggie). lia is darren's 2nd cousin (i think... his cousin luisa's daughter, anyways). she is 7 and awesome and adorable. i met her when we were visiting in nova scotia and we went for an adventure down a giant hill on a gravel road and took some paths into the woods to see where they led. i had so much fun with her!! i got this email from luisa today...

Hi Chrissy,  I gave Lia her letter from you and she was so excited to get mail.
She read it and then sat down on the couch and said "Oh I Love Chrissy"

no one's leaving (jane's addiction)

dude, matt good is a god. no, i don't think you quite understand the godliness of his rockability. is it october 29th yet? no? damn! how 'bout now? shut up, chrissy? ok. sorry.

anyways, enough about matt... being back in school is a hard thing to adjust to. it's not really "school", but i have to go and sit through a day of class and do assignments and read and stuff. i can't believe that a 6 day course is going to give me all that i need to become a teacher in a foreign country. mama, i'm scared!!

so, i get an email from gayle the other day. she called herself a dink, etc. so i write her back a schpeel (i have no idea how to spell that) that was basically like "blah blah blah, i still love you" and crap like that and i end it with "where the hell are you?" so she sends me one of those "answer the questions" emails and she's filled it out and only sent it to me. question 20 asked "who do you miss the most?" and her answer was "my friends in edmonton" and then another question further down was "what are your living arrangements?". gayle lives in virginia. at least now i know where she is and that she's ok and she's talking at me again. big life changes though that i wish i could have been a part of. miss ya, loser!

~ sean is moving this weekend
~ scott and candice are living together
~ i wish i could do more for mike
~ going to lisa's for pie later
~ i'm a good cook
~ change isn't easy

now is it october 29th? damn it!!

oh be joyful (matt good)

"oh be joyful, 'cause that shit spreads"

matthew good is coming!! matthew good is coming!! i am so damn excited. seriously, like way more than ever before. it's his tour for the new album (out sept. 20th!!) which is kinda like a greatest hits collection. it's got a cd of all of his previously released singles, one of acoustically reworked songs and stuff from b-sides, AND a dvd of all the videos. needless to say, i've already ordered a copy!!

what's my name? (snoop dogg)

well, his name is simon. and that's his daddy, james. james and vicky are so freakin' happy!! it's so awesome. they are a family. it was so great to see them again. vicky wouldn't let me take her picture though. next time, she said.

new (no doubt)

more pictures... yay!! part of downtown edmonton at night, our popcorn poster that james drew for our wedding gift, cam & d watching football at cam's new place, and mike in our kitchen making juice...

happy sunday
happy mike with vicky
happy bobby and allie having a baby
happy sunflowers from j
happy autumn

8 days a week (the beatles)

happy wednesday, everyone!!

what's my age again? (blink 182)

C says: morning, geek

rottenbrain says: your a geek

C says: you are a bigger geek

rottenbrain says: nuh uh

C says: it's true, i heard it from somebody

rottenbrain says: well theyre a geek

rottenbrain just sent you a Nudge!

C says: not as big of a geek as you are

C winks: Play "Guitar Smash"

C says: so there

rottenbrain says: angela just called me a geek too. it must be true

C says: i already told you that it was true

rottenbrain says: she diddnt even know what we were talking about

C says: then it is definitely true

that was my conversation with sean this morning... we are very mature.

all that i need (blind melon)

so i'm trying out a new color cuz i am pretty bored with pink. and have you noticed the new font? huh? have ya? well... it's different, i swear.

what else is different? well, i didn't get the supervisor job. basically, i turned it down... after lots of thought and stress, i decided that i don't have any experience working with groups or community partners. and i was told lots of stuff in my interview that i wasn't really clear on before about what else the job would require of me. so... that's what happened. i decided that i would like to get some experience with groups so i am going to be the part-time youthworker for the project and get to do all of the fun stuff with the kids, but not have like any responsibility. and i am able to keep working with the kids i have right now 1:1. i feel better and better about the decision everyday. yay yay yay!!

i've been thinking about d lots already today. i love him. especially like this...

talk dirty to me (poison)

the 40-year old virgin is possibly THE funniest movie i have ever seen!! i can't tell you about it, because i think i missed a lot of stuff because i was laughing so hard and so very loud. so so so funny. we also watched anchorman today. we got the dvd from columbia house and my god, that is a ridiculously funny show. if anyone wants to borrow it, you let me know!!

same in the end (sublime)

ok, so... sorry about the bit of a rant the other day. just had it on my mind... you know.

nothing really new going on with us. pretty uneventful, actually. but... here are some pictures taken with our new digital camera!!! (by the way, it is probably like my favorite toy ever. seriously.)

so i called gayle yesterday to let her know that the family we stayed with in scotland is going to be in town this week. my call couldn't be connected as dialed. what the fuck. (sorry granny!) so then i called her at work. the voicemail at her extention was still her voice, so i left her a message (if she is even really still there). i thought i was sad about this whole deal with gayle, but i discovered yesterday when i was talking about it that i am really pissed off. mostly because i feel like i didn't really matter to her. i just want to know what the hell is going on inside her head. that's all. not too much to ask. i don't even know where she is.

good people (jack johnson)

i love the east coast. i love it, i love it, i love it. the air is different, the stores are kinda the same (i got laughed at though when i asked for a safeway bag... "oh, isn't she so sweet? we can get ya a sobey's bag, will that do?" ha ha, pick on the girl from the west. poor little thing :)

d's family (families?) are awesome. i felt right at home. as it turns out, d's family is just as crazy as mine when they get together (maybe even a bit more, but only because they don't see each other as often).

more pictures later... and maybe the one of d's glowing white backside with a giant spider bite on it. stay tuned!!

the cause (nofx)

hi... we're back!! pics will be up soon. they turned out great!! i am so in love with that digital camera!! i'm being a nerd right now and signing up for things online, so this is a link to some silly thing for a free ipod. humor me and check it out... we'll see if it works (or if i get defrauded and have my identity stolen... whichever happens, i'll let ya know!)

http://www.freeiPods.com/?r=21441747

so that's all for right now. i'll get some pictures up later tonight hopefully if mike doesn't hog the computer all night writing his resume and doing the right thing and looking for a decent job and stuff. c ya!!

hey baby (no doubt)

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
~Carl Jung

this is a quote that my friend melanie put on her blog yesterday. underneath the quote is a picture of the two of us. she is so very dear to me, and i don't think that i tell her that nearly enough. so... MELANIE, I LOVE YOU!!

running for home (matthew good band)

sorry for the long absence... lots of thinkin' time lately.

we are off to nova scotia on saturday, but we are driving to calgary tomorrow. scott is there (somewhere!!) and that's where we takeoff from. no one has talked to scott for like at least a month. he only has a pay-as-you-go cell phone that doesn't always have minutes on it. and now... his voicemail is full so we can't even leave him a message!! and... he's working nights but we don't know the hours. and we don't know if he even remembers that we are going or if he took time off!!! so when (and if) we see him, i get to kick him in the ass... TWICE... once for their mom and once for me. so that's an upside!!

ummm... that's bout all for awhile... we'll post pics of the trip when we get back... love you all!! this is jen, i mean, tyranosaurus jen. i just love her so much!!

last night, i did the hardest thing i've ever had to do. i told my mom that her dad died while she was on holidays. i never again want to see that much sadness come from words i say.

we love you grandpa
william james o'keefe
1920-2005

wish you were here (pink floyd)

we've been living the seedy life for a whole year. crazy.

i love it. cuz it's the same. we're the same. i love how in love we are. and how it's for always.

******seedy for life******

d,
jerk! i know you knew it would make me cry! i love you so much and can't wait for the seediness to continue. and also, how did you do that?!?!?

chronicles of life and death (good charlotte)

i know, i know. it's been like a month since we've posted anything. so, to the 2 people who read this blog... sorry, but nothing much has been going on.

me and my lovely cousin robyn went to see good charlotte on sunday, the 17th. it was her first concert ever!! she was so excited while we waited in line, yapping the whole time about nothing. she's so awesome. she got a bit tired during the opening band and i was worried she wasn't having a good time. i was sooooo wrong. when good charlotte was on, she was bouncin' and singin' and cheerin'... it was great!!

i had my interview today for the "youth project coordinator". i think it went ok. it was hard to prepare though. they already know what i do, so i wasn't sure what was going to go on. so basically, i didn't really prepare at all. i was asked to tell "my story", how and why chrissy is where she is today. and they also asked me explain how i do my job and what "gifts" i leave my clients with. blah, blah, blah... in the end, they told me that i need to do some work on being able to articulate what it is that i do and how i go about doing it. both pauline and eileen gave me huge compliments... they told me that i do "tremendous work" and that i need to look back over my past clients and give myself more credit for their successes, because without me, the change couldn't have happened. huge compliments...

tomorrow is our anniversary... one whole year... i know, crazy!!

anyways, see how boring things are??? maybe more fun and funniness soon... i hope.

*** one week till matt good ***

shower days (nofx)

today is laundry day. soon, me, d, and my little brother will be smelling much better. you're welcome.

i think i might have some gas. too many cherries. ouch. it hurts. so much for smelling better...

ode to my car (adam sandler)

the car wouldn't start again today. different problem though... i bet it would've started if it was raining... probably not.

found some info for walking myself skinny... it's a 6 week plan. starts tomorrow.

i'm boring so... see ya!!

san francisco (scott mckenzie , me first & the gimme gimmes)

lazy lazy lazy... i love lazy dayz!! no appointments, not really going anywhere, not much of anything. LOVE IT!!

so melanie finally had her very first birthday party last nite. first party, first cake, first anything. it was awesome!! she'll be 24 early in july, but out of town, so the party had to be last nite. F-U-N (spongebob says that "F is for FRIENDS that do stuff together, U is for YOU AND ME, N is for ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME AT ALL down here in the deep blue sea!")

update: car is fixed, job is ?????

oh, talked to lisa on her birthday on thursday... she was on fisherman's wharf in san francisco!! bitch!! tee hee...

girls, girls, girls (motley crue)

what about girls? well, let me tell ya!! first of all, mike will be having a baby girl in october. second, my cousin lisa is currently on a road trip to san francisco and i am so totally thrilled for her!! third, my friend melanie just got promoted and is so very happy about it and i am so very happy for her!!! (mel also just got a haircut and looks fabulous!!).

so YAY GIRLS!!

car update... it's in the shop right now getting tuned up and cleaned out and having the tires rotated and alligned and just getting some long overdue attention. i just hope that they can find the cause of the "rain" problem. since it's not rainy today it might be just a guess.

i've fallen a bit off of the wagon... i ate lots of crap this weekend. it's hard to start eating healthy again. but i decided yesterday that bread and it's buddies are no friends of mine. bye bye to most carbs!!

It's All Been Done (Barenaked Ladies)

I guess I had better write something since it is the SEEDY life (though C pretty much keeps you all up to date on everything). Let's see.....what's goin' on.....saw the new Batman.....oh, she already told you..... ok..... what else...... oh yeah, our car won't start and..... what?, she told you that too? Well...... has she told you that I love chicken?.... No?.... Well I do. And also....I love to skate. (pictures to follow....someday)

na na na na na na na na BATMAN!

again with the rain!! i love the rain and i also love driving in the rain, but that can't happen. why? CUZ THE CAR WON'T START!! and... and... batman is tonight. gotta figure something out. just gotta.

what would batman do if the batmobile didn't start. why he'd take the batwing of course. if only we had a seedywing...

I Gotta Pee (NoFX)

take that, nickelback! ha!!

finally, here is the picture i know at least one of you has been waiting for... don't know how well you'll be able to see it though, but trust me, the stream of pee is awesome!!

lift your head up high... (bloodhound gang)

aaaarrrrrrggggggg!!!

once again, it rained over night and once again, the car won't start. it is driving me crazy!! **how can it drive me crazy when it can't drive anywhere?** "well take it in and get it fixed." we would, except for one problem... $$$. we are working very hard to get back to even with everything but we're not quite there yet. i'd say one more month or so. until then, we just have to mind the forecast, i guess.

and the timing of it is always shitty... like this morning, i was up and ready to go to the gym. nothing kills motivation like a car that won't start.

so, again, i say aaaarrrrrrggggggg!!!

ps.
matthew good is coming to preform at kdays... i am so damn excited!!!

loser (beck)

so as it turns out, i am a winner. not the loser that some had pegged me as. you may be saying to yourself "yeah right!", but it's true. how am i a winner? well, let me tell you!! i won a double guest pass to the premiere of "Batman Begins". so HA!! no longer a weiner... i'm a winner.

breathe in (atmosphere)

resume: in
fingers: crossed
hopes: up

this girl is my idol!!

i'm too sexy (right said fred)

what's what? oh, this?

here i sit with a kleenex shoved in my nostril. i've got the bronchitis and the tonsilitis and a fever and a stupidly crazy runny nose. i feel very pretty right now.

smoke, baby (hawksley workman)

sometimes i wished that i smoked cuz then i wouldn't be left inside to wait for everyone to be done smoking and talking and laughing and enjoying the nice spring evening and chilling and visiting with not me.

all the small things (blink-182)

i love love

things i love... by seedy c

- stars

- blue and purple
- d
- pizza
- daisies
- j
- thunder and lightning
- skate shoes
- my "always there when i need them" friends
- matthew good
- cartoons
- mangoes
- the letter x
- pyjama sundays

40 oz. to freedom (sublime)

so, it turns out that $600 a month isn't enough for me to do the shit that having a paper route requires. so very much shit.

but on a happier note... d finished school and got his official bartending certificate!! yay d!! and the job hunt begins...

what should i do for some extra cash? no funny answers here either, please. much appreciated.

sorry for the lame post. it's been a tough week around here. j's doing ok. she's been making some tough decisions. i can't even imagine what it's like to be 21 and deciding what to do with your mom's ashes. it's hard to watch her go through this. she's a totally different girl.

the leaving song (a.f.i.)

j's mom died. the police came to tell her today. it's amazing to see so much strength come from someone so small.

it's my life (no doubt)

so, i made a call yesterday, and now, well soon, i shall officially have a paper route. "wow, sad." you might say. "f-you!" i say!! it's like 2 hours a day and $600 a month. and d and i made a plan yesterday... a 1 year plan... and for our plan to work, we need to save like crazy!! so there. laugh at me all you want, but we're going places, baby!! not to florida, though. maybe they can take "puppet chrissy"...

hangin' tough (new kids on the block)

wow... long time since the last post... sorry 'bout that y'all. things are just dandy here in e-town. except for that i'm not feeling that great today. i went to breakfast with my family at 10am, got home and stayed in bed until now. wasted a perfectly good sunday. oh, well, i think i'll take a sick day tomorrow to make up for it. stupid chrissy, you're a genius!

i miss the gym. i didn't go yesterday or today. i love the gym. my waist still seems to be the same size but my arms and legs are definately smaller. hopefully the herbal detox that d and i are gonna do will work on my gut.

about the last post... things are way better. i don't know how, but it's better than usual around here. i've totally backed off and don't give my opinion about anything. school's getting to her though. she's still going and studying and stuff (we helped her with her flash cards the other night). it's the lack of organization at her school that is driving her crazy. they keep changing their minds about the books she needs and what pre-reqs there are. i can understand her frustration. i hope she can get past it and focus on herself!! gonna be tough though...

boring post... sorry 'bout dat... will be more better when i'm more better...

all i wanted to do was help. help her have a safe place to live where her things would still be there when she woke up, help her get a job, help her with whatever. in doing that, though, she said that i've made her uncomfortable. she told me that i make all of these "jokes" about her to d when she's right in the room. she's sick of the one about her being our "charity case". she spends all day in her room because of me. huh, we thought she was in there studying...

HOW IS SOMEONE SUPPOSED TO KNOW ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF IT?!?!?!?!

she thinks there is another level to things we do and things we say. there isn't. it hurts. i wish there was a different word i could use, but there's not. i'm very hurt. i'm hurt that she knows us so well and that we have been nothing but honest with her and done what we can for her and she still believes that there's hidden meanings. she sees us like she sees everyone else. and it hurts. a lot.

it's not going to be easy to let her go.

we are the champions (queen)

oh my god the pee pictures are awesome!!!!!! you can see the whole sign, d, and the stream of pee... and where he's watering the sign!! just awesome.

tomorrow is the spice party. yummy. just a bit more cleaning to do. kitchen - done, bathroom - mostly done, our room (aka the coat room) - still a disaster, but not hard to reassemble, living room (aka party central) - not too shabby. so, wish me luck.

norma turned 60 yesterday, and is recovering from surgery... we brought her some birthday cake ice cream from the marble slab creamery. ice cream helps healing, along with laughter.

cam had his operation yesterday and is back home, but in a lot of pain. maybe he needs some ice cream too.

eating healthy is hard... i don't think i'm doing very well. i'm trying but... i need to try harder. nuf said.

ps. i've been listening to matthew good... i love him.

mr. good

take the long way home (bloodhound gang)

details of our road trip:

- scott is fine (he has a girlfriend!!)
- bobby and allison are also fine
- i love calgary
- medicine hat is beautiful
- swirls has delicious ice cream
- the new curtains in our kitchen look awesome (thanx allie!)
- and the nickelback thing

so... we had a wicked time this past weekend. no pics to post though... still needing a digital camera. i love to visit, especially when the people you are visiting make you feel right at home, which they did!! thanx guys... we'll be coming back again!!

d's guitar is being delivered today, between noon and 2pm. i was going to surprise him with it, but i can't keep anything from that guy. it's like he's a super hero with some kind of "tell me everything you know" aura. i hate it. it makes it so hard to surprise him. arg.

countdown to the spice party... only 3 more days. i guess i should start cleaning this bitch of an apartment. i bought a mop the other day too... so no more scrubbing cinderella style for me. yay!!

sabotage! (beastie boys)

ok, so it's not really sabotage... but you have to admit, it looked like it. what am i talking about? well, on our way back to edmonton yesterday, we happened to go by the town of hanna, where the sign read "home of nickelback". saying that we don't really care for nickelback is a ginormous understatement and so we showed our dislike in a very obvious way...

i took a picture of d peeing on the sign.

where does the sabotage come in? when i got the pictures back from save-on, the pee pictures weren't there... but i could see them on the negatives!!! it turns out that the machine they use thought they were too dark to print so i have to take them to a more "sophisticated" developing place. i'll let ya know how they turn out.

she's got a new disguise (matthew good band)

so, apparently mon oncle thinks that a little bit o' illness can keep us away... oh, not so!! we's still goin' and dat's dat. yup yup.

j's been extra excellent these days. studying and coloring... it's awesome to see.

nothing else really going on right now... fixed some car probs before our road trip... kinda poor (again)... still heading south on saturday...

oh yeah!! discovered a kickass new radio station earlier this week. SONIC 102.9. it is like totally rad, man. check it out. i love it. haven't listened to a cd since i found it.

holiday (madonna, green day - both great)

road trip!!!! i am so very excited!! on saturday we are going to calgary for to visit scott and then we are going to head to medicine hat to visit mon oncle and his wifey. i think we are the only ones who haven't visited them yet, so i figure it's about time. yay, road trip!!!

so, since i'm in on "the secret project", i've been coming up with some ideas: a glow-in-the-dark party, mexican fiesta for cinco de mayo, writing to pen pals, putting together a puppet show... many more like that. sound fun? let me know if you have any suggestions. *appropriate suggestions, guys. we are talking about minors here!!!

my family is going to florida in july for a big family vacation. we can't go, $$$-wise and plus we're going to nova scotia in august. but i really don't like missing out on things. and i have so much fun with my family!! it's kinda sick, really, how great we all get along. i love it!! yay yay yay!! sick sick sick!! so there's my pouting for the day!!


auntie allie (the wifey of mon oncle)

what i got (sublime)

so, uh, yup. we got the funding. but there's "agency protocol" that has to be followed, meaning that the job has to be posted internally and i have to apply for it. so i just finished fixing up my resume and writing a cover letter. my mom said it's great. but she's my mom. i think she thinks that everything i do is great. i love my mom.

more financial trouble. should be resolved soon-ish. day 6 for the gym. it's going great. i have my official physical consultation tomorrow. eek. oh well. i'm very prepared to hear what they have to say.

d's at bartending class right now. he forgot his ring on the way there and made me drive back home to get it. he said he likes being married. i asked if it was because it's sounds so unbeliveable. he said that's partly why, but he likes being married to me. whether he was being cheezy or not, i don't care. it made me smile.

dancing through sunday (a.f.i.)

that list of things we were doing this week that i posted the other day... missions accomplished (except we didn't make it to calgary to find scott). the commie was packed so we stayed for like 3 songs for king muskafa. but maybe tomorrow we'll try again. punk rock bingo was SO fun!! we're gonna try for every week. the prizes were very cool.

today is day 4 for the gym. pretty damn good, if you ask me. i pigged out last nite though. we had cam and mel over for dinner and a movie. dinner was good (bbq chicken, salad and potatoes). i think d has taken over the title of "bbq man".

i got some good news yesterday, well mostly good. don't want to say what it is just yet, just in case it doesn't pan out. superstition and all, you know.

i want to have an herb garden. i want our bedroom to be black and red. i want to be hot for the summer. i want d to become a kick ass bartender. i want j to like who she is. i want mike to have a baby girl.



meet skulks!!

prime time deliverance (matthew good band)

so, tuesday wasn't the day. as it turns out, wednesday was the day. since then, i've been at the gym every day. and i feel great. i don't know if it's a psychological thing or what, but i actually have more energy, i'm breathing better, and... i don't know. stuff's just good.

topic switch!! we are getting rid of cable tomorrow. yay!! we haven't watched it like at all for about a month. it's an expense we don't need so it's "see ya later, sucker" to tv. again, we shall be free.



d says my eyes are always this open

tomorrow! (little orphan annie)

so, tomorrow is the day. what day, you ask? the day of many things, i say, most of which have to do with d and i living healthier. i's gonna be hot, mama!!! and my head hurts so i'm going to bed.

99 Problems (jay-z)

T - 2 days...

yup, that's 2 days till the start of a new chrissy. not new on the inside, cuz i kinda like me. but the outside... now that's a totally different story. this year's resolutions are still with me. pretty impressive, no? and that list of things that i wanna do in 2005 is still there too. i don't think there's much if anything to cross off of it yet, but soon. right, d?

tonite: easter dinner at granny's then it's off to king muskafa
tuesday: punk rock bingo at new city
wednesday: find out where that dumb-ass brother-in-law of mine is hiding

I'm Back

Hi everyone, D's back! Where did I go? Let me tell you.... I was in a place not far from here, but without my right mind, I had a hard time getting back... but here I am, 2 weeks hence.

Last night the Seedy ones made an appearance at a social function for C's work proving, once again, that so long as you have good (morally grounded) people, FUN just happens. It doesn't matter where you are... do the math: 9 agreeable people + 0 wet blankets + 1 party conducive atmosphere / 5 hours = 2 much fun.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back....without the front.

I HATE THE F-ING SNOW!!!

i know that the title of this post isn't the name of a song, but that's how much i hate snow. it so does not deserve the thought i would put into naming a post about it. today is a gross, cold day and i don't like it!!

on a nicer note, we had dinner at sean & angela's last nite. it was delicious... homemade canelloni with salad and garlic bread topped off with a visit to the marble slab creamery. all parts of dinner included good company. d thinks i'm a dork. i kinda agree.

I HATE SNOW!!

my life as a circus clown (matthew good band)

j and i went to the circus last nite. it was sooooooo fun!! she "secretly" bought me a happy-face sunflower that lights up. she's so awesome (j, i mean). i love her. lots.

i've decided that i'm gonna title my posts with song titles. so, now you know. if you don't know the song, i recommend checking it out, cuz i love music and you should too. d is laughing at me right now, and "teasing" me (i prefer to say "making fun" but, whatever, dude).

i really, really, really want a digital camera. it may even border on a need to have one. i love photography and posting pics, i can't wait!!

d is a freak.

and the beat goes on...

baby, baby, baby

so, i'm beginning to think that this blog is "the see life" cuz the "dy" has all but forgotten that it exists. but enuf about that.

so very many people we know are having babies. one of them is a very very close friend, one of my best for sure. i want to be able to help him all the time with everything to do with that kid. don't know his girlfriend too well though. force myself on them? i think so!!!!

P.S.

i heart d

so things are great again...

so, uh, yup. things are great again, just like the title says. i'm great, you're great, the world's great!! you know what isn't great, though? selfishness. no, not shellfishness, the state of being fishy. being selfish. wanting things for yourself while not taking into account the feelings of others. i hate people who are selfish. everyone has moments of selfishness and that's just being human. anyways, i hate it.

so back to the greatness... IT'S GREAT!!! and also, i have rock 'n roll hair!!!

later y'all.

*sigh*

today is one of those days, ya know, when you realize that things aren't like they used to be and you don't know if they ever will be. and i don't understand how it got to be this way. one day it's all "this is great! everyone and everything is wonderful! i love you and i love me and i love life!" and then the next day it's lucky if anything is said at all. what is going on? i'd talk, but i don't think i would be heard. what's a girl to do?

S-M-R-T...

well, well, well... chrissy has discovered how to post pictures. there's no stopping me now!!! oh, wait. maybe the lack of a digital camera will rain somewhat on this happy dancey parade. think so?

Santa Strikes Again

i feel as though i can't say "thank you" enough to this guy!!! and i don't think he realizes how wonderful he actually is. we have total trust in him and he does what he can for us whenever he can. it's totally safe to say "we love you, man!"

Plans for 2005

hey y'all. 2005 is like 4 days away and we have some ginormous plans for the coming year. the biggest of all, i think, is us moving to Japan. i know... "WHAT!!!" yup, Japan. i'm gonna teach english and d is gonna be my housewife. i think it's a pretty sweet deal. other plans for the year include getting massages, going out for a fancy dinner, and heading to BC in the summer and going to Shambhala. that is one thing that we are very excited about!! japan is scary exciting, but Shambhala... now that is just crazy exciting!!! all of this stuff is gonna cost us some money, but i think we're gonna be ok. another plan for the new year (and this one is simply mine) is to be how i wanna be and look how i wanna look. everyone may say "oh, chrissy, you're not fat!! you look fine!!" but they don't know how i feel. i feel large, and not in charge (ha ha). i was thin once so i know how it looks and i know that i was so much more confident and sure of myself. so, minds have been made up, and things are going to get done this year. yay 2005!!!
