it's been one year since this.
may 4th is international star wars day. "may the fourth be with you." say it out loud. it's very funny.
sending in my resume today. no finger crossing. too cliche.
d's planning a delicious dinner that i am not allowed to ruin by eating before i come home from work like i did last night.
word.
it isn't even 9am and i have 1) spilled coffee in the car due to the fabulous tim horton's lids 2) dropped my bagel cream cheese side down 3) tripped over nothing 4) dropped my keys in a puddle
off to a great start.
ps
what a fantastic game last night. luckily we were at the evergreen youth centre and so there was cable and lots of kids and that = excitement and swearing and more excitement and then excited happy swearing. everyone on the roads, pedestrians, drivers, passengers, everyone, was yelling and cheering and thumbs upping and flag waving and sign holding and fever having.
~ starting to pack (lots of clothes to give away... let me know if you wanna take a look)
~ added finishing touches to my resume
~ slipped in the shower (ask me to tell you the story, embarassing but funny and also the scariest 2 seconds of my life)
~ i have oilers playoff fever
~ am enjoying my new glasses and wear them faithfully
~ bought the arctic monkeys cd and continually listened to it for a week (d had to take it out because i just couldn't do it, it is that good)
~ loving my job because nice weather = being outside = kids introducing "jennifer & chrissy" to their friends = us feeling cool and loved and popular
~ went out for lunch yesterday with mel
~ i am now officially chrissy boone
~ season 4 of buffy is going well
~ buying season 5 of friends today
~ holly is now 13 days old
~ anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new nofx cd that i ordered directly from them (you know: support the artist, pay less, get wicked extras like stickers and buttons but have to wait longer to get a newly released album)
~ going to the gym 5 days a week, still not close to how i want to look
i really don't know what else i have to tell you. we will hopefully be having some semblance of a party before we move out of our apartment at the end of the may, i will be applying for jobs starting next week, life is good.

holly was born at 8:30 this morning. 7lbs 8oz. i was there. saw it all. cut the cord. amazing. and also...
the easter bunny looks strangely like my mom. interesting...
ouch!! my teeth f'ing hurt!! i couldn't even chew a gumball yesterday. and sometimes, my chipped front tooth aches. i'm scared. need to find a nice dentist. like jennifer said, one with no guilt tripping. i hear some dentists have headphones and little tv's for you to watch while they drill and such. i want one of those dentists. i have a feeling i'm going to be in for a lot of pain.
I spent 3 hours cleaning the apartment today and it still looks the same, it just smells a bit better. It's a little disappointing. Anyway here's some more pictures...
We're so friggin' coool. That's right, 3 o's, that's how darn cool we are.
sean had a party last night. he told us that it was a "silly hat party" and that we had to wear silly hats. but then he asked if i have ever been fooled on april fools day and i said no and he said "hmmm. me neither." that conversation made me suspicious that this would not be a silly hat party at all and that this was sean's april fools day joke. so we wore no silly hats. and I WAS RIGHT. i foiled the fool. ha.
there was this guy there that looked like dad. when i saw him, i told sean and we started laughing uncontrollably because it really did look like dad. i yelled out "randy!" a few times and he looked at me which freaked me out and made us all laugh even more. later on sean found out that his real name is murray (or something like that) and he told him that he looked like our dad and said that we were sorry if he saw us staring at him earlier but that it was only because he looks so much like our dad. crazy. HI DADDY!!
erin and i joked about sean and mike having play dates every sunday. david is from australia and we decided that his nicknames (aussie and wallaby) are very unoriginal but he left the garage before we could come up with better ones. he didn't leave because we offended him, only because he got a phone call. evil nick is very entertaining and always so happy. more than one person said that they like me. so darren and i tied for winning the day. he doesn't know that yet. he still thinks that he was the winner of the day because he said nice things about me to granny.
c: what do you want to do today??? no, really. anything? movie? anything besides smelling your fingers?
d: not really
c: mmm... great. this is going to be a fun weekend.
d: finger sniffin' fun
c: i have nothing to say to you.
...when you do a whole lot of nothing.
i got me some new spectacles. don't worry, jennifer. if you don't approve, i have a 30 day "happy with the new look" guarantee.
i don't enjoy the smell of this time of year. it's muddy. i don't like the smell of mud. i do, however, enjoy knowing that the snow will soon be gone.
funny pictures to post later. they are of darren. he has things in his nose. do you really need any other details? didn't think so.
nofx is playing in halifax on august 14th. hopefully this whole money saving extravaganza will help us to get there. oh, and of course visiting my east coast family is a priority as well :)
i prefer red grapes to green ones.
dear calgary,
did you get all of the snow that you were supposed to? we'll come visit when the weather has less chance of being ridiculous.
dear candice,
i really want to go to the zoo with you. i am mad at the weather for being so unseasonably terrible.
dear the weather,
stop it.
dear butterball,
thank you for making turkey bacon. it is amazing. one more little plus in my adventure to thin town.
dear momma and daddy,
as if you are on a cruise right now. you guys are so cool. it makes me so happy to see you so happy. i love you.
dear fountain tire,
you are so nice. you know who i am when i call and you take such good care of our baby. you help us get airmiles too. thanx.
dear gayle,
congratulations. and i'm sorry. the timing of life sometimes sucks and october seems to be the suckiest of all this year.
dear coffee,
i love you. i hate you. i love you. i hate you. i love you.
dear holly,
when are you going to get here? i am so excited to meet you. your parents are going to be great. they already love you so much. just hurry up already.
dear solo acoustic tours,
you rule. even though you almost made me cry. because of you i got to hear all of my favorite songs.
dear vancouver,
take care of jennifer this week. i need her to come back and help me pick out new glasses.
dear eola,
you are my favorite plant. ps... your name is aloe spelled backwards.
dear japan,
i am so excited to live in you. try to have a job for me to start in september, ok?
dear debt,
thank you for slowly fading away. sorry that we didn't pay much attention to you for awhile.
dear gym,
sometimes it feels like you are very far away and i use that as an excuse to not see you. i'm sorry. i will try harder to see you more often.
dear life,
it's you and me forever dude. so let's do it all. can darren come with us?
we were in the fourth row. the sound in the theatre was amazing. he was funny. i was so happy.
he played all of his best songs, the ones that give me goosebumps. this time, they brought tears to my eyes.
there are not many pictures. that's how ridiculously fantastic he was. 
amazing. just amazing.
ok. so. last week was tough. melanie found out that she has grade 2 cervical cancer. this is her post about it. when she first told me, she wasn't really sure how serious it was. she doesn't have a tumor, all it is is some cancerous cells located in one specific area. she will have to have an operation to remove the infected tissue and hopefully that will be all. she's gone through so much in her life and even when cancer is thrown into her path she holds her head up and keeps going. STRUT BABE, STRUT.
~ get my eyes checked and subsequently get new glasses (yay!)
~ keep going to the damn gym
~ make some more delectible dinners

~ tell jennifer what i really wanted to write on her back last week
~ send things to d's mom at least once every month because she deserves it
~ have robyn over to escape the testosterone in her house
~ have kelly and thomas over to knock some sense into them (not physically, i will use my words)

i'm sure there's more, but that's all i can think of for now.
oh, and i guess i'm a big fat liar. hiatus over. chrissy out.
we went to milestones for dinner.
decor was amazing.
so was the food.
