Hey you Waterloo people who were whining about not having gelato - don't y'all have that place in Uptown Waterloo, "Whole Lotta Gelotta"? I used to go there and it was good. (And yes Victoria, it was Pure Gelato, but now they have a littler store inside the Sugar Mountain candy store by the Rideau Center.)

Me and internet-girl Julia actually hung out today - there was a bit of a misunderstanding about which day we were to meet but it was all good. It was awesome to have another knitter to talk to! We had gelatto, and candy, and went to the bead store and a yarn store and a toy store so it was a lot of fun. She's cool. We'll probably hang out again sometime.

People back home - Todd and I are coming for a visit August 5-13. If you want to hang out, let me know. Bre and I are planning on going camping sometime during the week so if you're a girl and you are friends with us, let us know if you want to come. (Kris, I left a message with Ed about that. Did he tell you? If not, hit him with a plunger. Just kidding. But seriously.)
I also may make it to Waterloo on the Monday.... hopefully for Embassy, I just need to find a ride. Other than that and the pig roast and the Duck reunion, I've got no plans (it's gonna be a busy week!) Mom, if you read this, I want to hang out one day with you. Maybe downtown?

Justin called me today (thanks kid!) I hadn't talked to him in forever so that was kind of cool. During our phone conversation I managed to:

• change my clothes
• do my hair
• put some makeup on
• remove old nail polish and re-paint my toenails
• switch my contacts for glasses
• shave my armpits
• find a decent pair of shoes
• get my stuff together
• and I made it out the door on tie to catch the bus.

The only thing I couldn't do was use the bathroom because I think it's kind of weird to pee while you're talking to someone on the phone so I had to hold it until I got to the mall and I was a bit late for my meeting with Julia. (thanks Justin) Do any of you use the bathroom while on the phone? I never would have thought much about it but I have met 2 guys who do somewhat regularly. Strange strange boys.

Our computer was in getting fixed for a while so we didn't have internet but now we do so i'll be back here more often.

Okay, I'm going to bed now. Goodnight.

I had a great day! I got to work with three of my friends at work today, we went shopping, I got a good slushie, and I got a hug from one of the guys I work with. He's awesome. He's huge and so nice - a gentle giant. I had just finished helping him with something and I asked him "Can I get a smile?" because I'm always trying to get him to smile. I think he misunderstood my request though because he reached out and gave me a huge hug. It totally made my day! The rest of the shift went really well, and Todd came to pick me up so we had some nice chats. Life is good.

I'm making even more friends. I hung out with Diana on Monday. She and her brand new husband are coming over for dinner this weekend. Keith and Darcy might be moving into our neighbourhood. And I'm meeting up with a girl from craftster.org on Tuesday. I messaged her and asked if she'd want to get together. We seem to have stuff in common, we're close in age and we live in the same city. She thought getting together was a good idea so Tuesday after work we're going out for gelato. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sorry it's been so loong since I've posted. Our computer died and we just got a new one. It's silver and fancy-looking and has a window on the side which shows all the guts glowing blue. And Todd is really excited about those guts because apparently they have good stats attached to them. I'm just happy to have the internet back.

I'm going to bed now because I worked early today and am exhausted. Work has been really interesting lately - a lot of yelling and stuff going on. I was lucky enough to be the one whom most of the threats were directed at the other day. It's actually quite funny the things these guys come up with. They're getting more and more creative in their intimidation techniques. Good times. Next week will be more lax because one of the more demanding guys (in terms of attention) will be away on holidays. I'm looking forward to having a quieter week where I can wear whatever clothes I want and not worry about having them be ruined, and I can wear my glasses without having to worry about them being broken. It'll be a nice change.

So, now, off to bed. Goodnight.

I have body odour but only on my right side. Does anyone else have lopsided BO like this? I know Kris' left armpit stinks worse than her right. Anyone else?
