this day, she is a sunny day
So I actually took the kids out front to play. Gave Drew's friend the scarf I made her. Took out all the recycling, compost & garbage.
O, I mopped the kitchen.
Marty goes out tonight. It's his Monday.
Feeling: bbbbbla.

if i'm going to be honest with you
i totally, seriously, am completely in love with Lady Gaga.
if that turns you away, so be it, but if anything is based on anything, it's honesty.

- cleaned out litter box, and i mean bleach, water, the whole works!
- oh yesterday i forgot to add: cleaned microwave! mhmm
- today washed those horrid n-old diapers ahah suk
- TODAY I EXERCISED AT HOME HERE with the kids around can one even classify it as such?
- and CURRENTLY i am halfassedly culinarying some potato? salad? uhh.
- this is what happens when i don't invest in meat for my dinners, and i get lost as to what centre point to arrange my many veggies and side dishes around???!???????
- POTATOS ARE MEAT RIGHT
- umm
- i began work on two (2) christmas cards
- and looked around at what burnaby has to offer in terms of sports & rec for a crotchety old crunchy lady named ME.
- the kids are aight, not all that in ur face today.
- my bro called, distressed, and angry, and he hung up on me, and i don't blame him for that, as there was nothing i could offer him to soothe him. but what did i immediately do?
- prescription drugs (the irony will not be lost on him, no, in fact, it will be downright grating to him)
- offered up my worry to the Lord, and stopped what i was doing and prayed with the kids for my dear brother.
side note: i like it that drew is now bringing leila along with him on ventures upstairs to get something, so he's less alone (scared). :)

this has been a most busy weekend!
so many things i want, yet so few of them i need.
eg: cbc shirts.
marty was strategically off work Friday, so we got some house stuff and errand stuff done before he left with Bryan for "Gibbies" (lalmarties):
- steamcleaned most of the living room (2 tanks only, yay!)
- grocery shopped (pry-smart) for the first time via bus (o solo me-o, avec music earbuds, was nicely nice time for $94+a tims)
- boy this sounds like an awful movie marty's watching (machete)
i was up late getting stuff ready to leave to the S`Coast with the kids, as Dan was picking us up in the morning.
And he did.
And we ferried.
And there was much rejoicing (inwardly, for the children were most well behaved and neither had inconvenient poos)
Hung out in Steve & Celia's adorably charming house for awhile, including a very nice, quiet time when everyone else except Celia & I went out for a walk, during which she and I chatted, ate secret candy, and knit a few stitches. Then they all came back, and I had to abruptly leave with Bryerton. That was distressing, as I do not adjust well to sudden changes in Momsponsibility (going from being Mom-On to Mom-Off-Duty). Also, leaving my family behind (esp Marty, whom I was missing) was hard, but I did know beforehand that Bryan wanted to leave in the afternoon, as he had CAKES to BAKES before Kevin's birthday party.
So, on the ferry ride back, I adjusted. And knit a few stitches :]
My, but baking cheesecakes (incl their crusts) is some amount of work. Uh, past that threshold where I'd be likely to embark upon such a journey of my own volition. And I noted Bryan could use some kitchen gadgetry/toolage, and I created a list in my head, as Christmas nears, And There Was A Bit More Rejoicing.
Kevin stopped by! And spontaneous shots of Jack Daniel's. I added in a buncha chips, a chocolate bar, a lack of dinner and lunch really, and an apricot beer, and HOOM suddenly I didn't feel so well. So I seized the opportunity to lay down on a couch, and did so, And There Was Some Relaxing.
But I stuck`er out. And am glad I did. For then, whom should arrive but Jamie and April! Hoorah! We walked down to Kevin's, a winding way through downtown Vancouver's streets, but umbrellas were plentiful, and besides, I could be soaked to the bone (nearly wrote 'boan') and not care, if I was walking with my friends!
At Kevin's, I met Miles, I met some other folk, there was pooling and hottubbing, but not by me so much, girl 'problems' doncha know, but I did spend some nice nice time in the sauna with Carolina. We talked of Portugal ("50 days!" she sed), and were joined by some Egyptian men, and had some good conversation, but then I had to go out of there. Back upstairs, fun conversations were had, and my only regret is that I didn't engage the infamous Ratha (et al) more, but I hope to see those folk again soon. The CHEESECAKES were a hit. Good times, good people, and lo', I realized I had missed my last bus from Production. Oh, also there were some pants-changing, and I got to wear Kevin's !TEARAWAYS! during!
April very generously drove me me me me, all the way home! Lovely tired lady.
Wow that was some long description of Saturday.
Sunday rose too early, but I managed to drag my rear out of bed eventually, and me`n`the man`n`the kids plomped down the hill to the skytrain, then the CANADA LINE woo, to the SHAW FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY at the Richmond OLYMPIC Oval!! The commute took nearly an entire fare's length, but BOY O BOY it was fun time! Good breakfast again, and such a neat venue. Bouncy castle, long lineup for a balloon alien (tempered by some airbrush tattoos), much tea and coffee, L stroller nap, D&M fun cute skating!!, I SAW RICK HANSEN WORKING OUT!!!!!, no Santa pics that's okay though, scored some lunch too hehe, RICK HANSEN SAID "hello" TO ME!!!, and then a long, very tiredsak/headache commute home.
O, and the gifts for the kids: babydoll for L, TRANSFORMERforDrew!
And then tonight, some adorable sweet snuggles with Drew before bedtime. Aww, what a sweetie.
Mk on with my laptoproductive night.
