Sunday, December 6 [06 Dec 2009|08:48pm] ah yes... how the passage of time marks it's passage. :) If you look close, you can see groovy little head moles. :) Got a hair cut yesterday... took both boys... three cuts. We've got a chop shop we all-three like and this is good! My rule-of-thumb is that as soon as I feel like my hair is looking 'combed-over' ... it's chop time. :D I think the weather was really nice yesterday. But it was a busy day ... up super early and just gett'en stuff done all day. A little shopping with zee before dinner... Oh, and we all laughed a few really good laughs at SNL.

Than you are expecting some joker who is great in the sack to become a close and wonderful friend. // Perimeter gorceries... :) Then my phone rang... z was in cost-co and had lost her (*gasp*) little black book... her little'book'oh'everything'christmas. I could hear it in her voice. :) I finished groceries quick and zoomed over to cost-co and met her chatting up a greeter asking if "anyone hands in a ..." Poor sugar... We went a'walking... I picked up the things I needed at cost-co... we ran into a coworker from client land... got to meet her little boys... Then I kinda found the book in the outter pocket of one of her green-grocerie-bags... oh there was much joy in cost-co-land. / preparing to play with windows 7 media that quietly appeared in my mail box (ups thing for the computer we bought geo just before win7 was released. :D) :) See ya. 1 shot|give

And then, of course, you catch a few minutes of the political cinema they call "parliament" ... where we are supposed to gain validation that our views are being represented... ... and you are embarrassed. // we have heat in the basement.

I remember the news items last year. So no big surprise it happened more than you let on. Um...

Today... it rained. Muchly. Little Ed left the house prepared for the big game. (thanks in no small part to the kindness of a young man who lives around the corner. :D) Suz and Ed made 31 caramel coated apples last night, and she brought over to the school, to Eds class, for their halloween party. :) Geo's still home. Poor guy. He had a cold last year at Halloween. s'not fair. !! His cough is nasty, and he's got some of the asthma (i.e. "pre-existing respiratory condition") sigh... So we're watching his temp carefully... because the news has us panicked about the Hynie. double-sigh... I am completely certain that he's just got a cold... but of course, with that comes a reduced immune strength. So he's staying home till he's better. la la la... Did I mention it was raining? It's s'posed to rain all day tomorrow and tomorrow night too... Weeeeeee... wearing ~ I went in to my client office today, so I dressed for friday with jeans ~ and my argyle sweater, ~ er... and a white colared shirt planning ~ busy... but the week is still catching up with me. I've been majorly tired. (Tomorrow morning... just relaxing after I wake up will do me a world of good.) ~ went to the gym... first time this week!! I've missed it... seriously. It's getting to that "it's like crack" stage. ~ straight home after work and got a gorgeous chicken kiev dinner going. (It was yummi.:D) ~ and... at some point... I have to get the pumpkin carving thing sorted out. wishing ~ to send congrats to xaheras... my little egg-girl...(er that almost sounds creepy you know... LOL.) ~ for wbahner to catch a break... ~ and to tell her_whispers... she is the awesome!!!! Birthday moments... From yesterday... Oct 29... happy birthday to my little nancy (crayolaphoenix).

I do so very truly hope that you're days are many. :D /// Another Canadian soldier... DIA (dead in Afghanistan) And if we do anything less than completely take over the country and rule it forever... No number of dead soldiers will magically cause lasting change. The day we leave ... they get to run their own country again. Sink or swim baby. // Coworkers with indominable spirits... :) !!!!! / I'm pretty sure Dr. Oz told that woman that, instead of eating, when she gets a craving... She should just hit her husband instead. 5 shots|give
