Not a loser

2007-03-28T23:00:00.000-04:00

I found this note on Facebook. Supposedly if you have seen 85 or more of these movies you have no life (a.k.a. you are a loser.) I just make it into the not a loser category. I have seen way too many movies though, this list just doesn't include the type of stuff I like. If it was mor e Disney, kids' films, and old black and whites I would have scored much higher.I am a loser though for

Yesterday I had plans to hang out with a friend but he told me I had to choose what we would do for the day. So I chose to visit a sugar bush just outside of Ottawa. I've been missing the country lately and I know my family is making maple syrup at home and I always wish I could explore the area surrounding the city but without a car that's nearly impossible. So he thought it was a good idea

I accidentally planned a sort-of birthday party for myself this morning. I made plans to go yarn shopping with my friend Diana without realizing that this was my birthday. Then I invited Becky, and shortly after Darcie. So today we all met up at Knit Knackers, a super cute yarn store downtown Ottawa. Diana was kind enough to invite us all back for tea and cake at her place. It was nice and

DisneyWorld was my absolute most favourite part of our vacation. I've thought about it every day since we came back and I can't wait to go back for longer. We only got to see about half of the Magic Kingdom but that was enough to make me crazy with excitement. You can see the craziness in my eyes in the photo below. We're riding on the Magic Carpet ride in the Agrabah part of Disney World.

Vacation

2007-03-05T17:04:00.000-05:00

Todd and I went on vacation to Florida and a cruise to the Bahamas at the beginning of February. This is my favourite photo from the Bahamas. We went to Ardastra Botanical Gardens & Zoo. They had flamingos that marched accoriding to military commands. They also had pigs. I like pigs and this one seemed to maybe like me too.

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time. Sorry guys. I have had a very eventful past few days though so here's an update on my life.Thursday I went skating with Todd and some friends. I wiped out twice but neither time was bad and I was okay. No big deal, but I did have bruises and was kind of sore the next day.Friday I was in a wee bit of a car accident at work. My coworker was driving when we were

The picture on the left is Bre after Christmas dinner in 2005. On the right is Christmas 2006. I love Christmas. No matter how much changes during the year, that one time of year is always the same.

Hey Everybody! I would love to post pictures from our Christmas holidays but it seems we have lost the cord that connects our computer and camera. Hopefully I'll buy a new one today.I went out a few weeks ago with my two internet friends, Melissa & Julia, and I got a picture of them that I can share here. We went to a craft show together and it was the first time they met each other. I like

My brother-in-law Ian has been staying with us for the past few days. He gave us our gifts early so we wouldn't have to bring them all the way to our parents, open them and bring them all the way back. <--- This is what he gave me. A Barbie! I was so excited! (Still am actually.) I love Barbies but it's not a gift you typically give to an adult unles they're a actual collector (which I'm not,

Sick

2006-12-13T15:14:00.000-05:00

I finally used a sick day. Thursday night I was up sick to my stomach in the middle of the night and even though that has passed, I've just been a bit off ever since. I am so exhausyed I can hardly move. I hate calling in sick but I figured I need to in order to get better. Hopefully this does the trick. I've done nothing all day and it's been great, but I'm still tired. We'll see.

6 Weird Things

2006-12-09T15:49:00.000-05:00

I'm taking this from my uncle's blog. He was tagged by someone. The rules are as follows: You write a blog post stating six weird things about yourself. You then tag 6 of your blogging friends, telling them to do the same. I'm nto going to actually go and tag anyone because I'm lazy so I'll just write a list of people I hope will do it. Here's my list: Victoria, Justin, Kris (you can write more

Exhausted & Excited!

2006-12-03T20:52:00.000-05:00

I am so tired. I dislike working mornings and I just came off a string of 4 with today being a 12 hour shift. Tomorrow I'm off though and then I'm working afternoons and this particular week of afternoons I particularly like.Thursday I spent most of my day at the Museum of Science and Tech with one of the guys I work for. It was great. We played games and saw all sorts of interesting stuff. It

2006-11-21T20:35:00.000-05:00

I bought a Christmas tree today. It's 4.5 feet tall which is the perfect height to sit on our end table. We decorated it and it's very cute. I don't have any pictures yet but hopefully soon.For now I'll leave you with a photo of our apartment door:And Victoria sent me an email/survey thing. I'll respond to it here rather than by email.It's a muscial life story survey. Here's the soundtrack of my

Jessibeth chewed into my insulin pump tubing today. So... she may have gotten insulin in her and I may have gotten guinea pig saliva in me. Hopefully we both survive. I'll let you know how it turns out. :D

Todd has gone out to see the new James Bond movie with some guy friends of his. I'm sure none of you are surprised that I would rather stay home and knit. I was at a Behaviour training course for the past 3 days. My job sent me, but the course was run by a different agency here in Ottawa. While there I found out that I could work as a Behaviour Consultant since I have a psych degree and

2006-11-09T16:48:00.000-05:00

When the movie Aladdin came out, I was obsessed with Princess Jasmine. For about a year I constantly pretended in my mind that I was her, and I had a huge imaginary tiger named Rajah who followed me everywhere. It was a fun pretend, but eventually I realized that it was kind of insane (after all, I was like 12 years old) so I gave it up.But I still have a special place for Princess Jasmine in my

One of my many nicknames in my family was/is Chunky Pig. Not ever meant in a mean way, and I'm not even sure where it originated, but it resulted in me receiving muliple pig-related gifts. Which leads me to #2. --> This Christmas tree ornament. I love it. I love fat things and this piggy is just the right amount of fat. I decorated my apartment a couple days ago and I will try to remember

P!NK

2006-11-07T12:52:00.000-05:00

As you can see, the purple tinge to my hair has faded away and it's more the way I wanted it to be. It's even pinker now because last week I overdyed with the extra pink I had left to fill in the really faded spots. It's still pruple, but with more of a pinkness to it. I like it. Todd's even starting to like it. These pictures are from a few weeks ago. I'll have to get more recent ones

Just around the corner!

2006-11-01T14:01:00.000-05:00

It's November! That means Christmas is coming! Soon! I'm pretty excited. I feel a little late thsi year as I have no decorations up yet although I've been playing the Christmas tunes for the past couple months. And I've got a great start on my kitted gifts - 4 down, 2 to go (more may be added later.) Now I need to start shopping in earnest, I've been buying little things here and there

Lyrics

2006-11-01T13:45:00.000-05:00

"Never knew how to be free, till God gotta hold.I was blind but now I see, lost but he has rescued me.Now I'm where I'm meant to be since God gotta hold on me"I forgot how much I loved this cd until I started listening to it again. Even Todd has declared it good, which surprised me. It's not his style of music. Semi-cheesy mid-nighties Christian music is my love, not his. But oh, how I love it.

Justin - you need to blog something soon! I have no idea what's going on in your life and it stresses me out. Plus, I kind of miss you.Now on to everyone else - How are y'all doing? I'm doing great! I went to a needlecraft festival with my internet friend Julia on Friday. It was great. I bought a bunch of wool for cheap and I saw a lot of things that I had previously only seen online and in

Audrey

2006-10-28T19:07:00.000-04:00

Audrey Hepburn is my favourite actress ever. She's beautiful and funny and cute and classy. My favourite movie of hers is Breakfast At Tiffany's in which she plays a high class call girl who is in love with a writer/gigolo (from what I can tell, given that the movie was made in 1961 they are very vague on what these peoples' occupations actually are.) I first watched this movie in grade 8 at a

Lizzie hooked me up with this cute knitting template. I love it!I woke up at 5:30ish this morning because I was having a rotten nightmare. If Todd had been here, I would have rolled over, cuddled up to him and that would have been enough to break the spell of the nightmare... but he's still in new york so there was nothing to snap me out of it. Every time I would doze again I'd be right back

I love fall.

2006-10-15T18:24:00.000-04:00

I love that autumn brings the perfect walking weather. I walked to church this morning and it was beautiful. The only downside is the wind which hurts my ears. Good thing I'm a knitter and have toques to match almost anything! Here are some photos from a few weeks ago when Morgan and I went walking in Big Bank Spring Park.

Girl Time

2006-10-15T13:53:00.000-04:00

So I had my sleepover and it was great. We didn't ened up watching any movies because we talked all night. Seriously almost all night. Diana and I were up to almost 5am. We all got up at 9:30 because people had various places to be. I had 6 girls come over and 4 stayed the whole night. Lizzie and Christine left around 3:30 am. We ate so much junk it was awesome. We didn't even have room

2006-10-13T12:39:00.000-04:00

I feel like I've been living on candy the past couple of days and my sugar is still always low. As much as I enjoy candy I think maybe I should adjust my insulin levels. This is a good thing.I spent $60 at the Bulk Barn yesterday. I borrowed a friend's car specifically so I could stock up on jelly beans. They are just too heavy to carry home a decent amount on the bus. I've figured out that

Here's my hair in the various stages it took to make it purple. Sorry I didn't take a before shot, see the previous post if you really want to see what it looked like. Many thanks to my hairdresser, Burr. She's in that last photo. She did a great job even though she dyed my face a little bit. Thanks Bandi!

In the above photo are Kris & Morgan, my two best friends. They were both in my wedding. Morgan's family and mine have really been just one big family for many years. She's like a baby sister to me.

I went to check my email today and saw that I had two emails: one from each of my brothers. Now it's not that odd to get an email from the Jedi, he is an computer geek after all. But to get an email from the Cowboy is very strange. He doesn't hardly talk even in person when I am peppering him with questions so to get an email unprovoked is truly amazing. I opened it with great curiosity and this

I have found out who my new shift partner is and I am thrilled about it. His name is Wes and I quite enjoy working with him. (There's a link to his blog at the right.)I have a new little thing at the top of my blog - it's supposed to be an animation of me. I wish they had an option for freckles but sadly no. Wes told me about these things. The website is called Meez.com and it's pretty fun.

It's so girly. : )I don't have much to say today, we went to church, then bought ice cream on the way home so it's been a great day so far.Today is our One-Year anniversary (and I keep kind of forgetting).

Sorry I've been absent lately, my parents were here for 5 days so I was kind of busy with them. We went to the market Saturday morning, impulse-bought a couch and chair. They were perfect for us and on sale, we couldn't not buy them. Then we went to the GreekFest and ate good food and saw whole lambs roasting on spits. Todd said they looked like they were dancing to the music. I can't find the

Lost:

2006-08-17T13:38:00.000-04:00

One Sock-in-ProgressIf anyone finds my knitting, please let me know. I lost it while on vacation so it's either at my parents' house, my in-laws house, Breanna's car, or lost on some campsite. It's just a tiny ball of blue-green yarn with a set of 4 knitting needles and only about an inch of a toe knitted. If you see it, please let me know, otherwise Todd will only have one sock. :(

2006-08-17T00:11:00.000-04:00

... which is a heck of a lot better than smelling like guinea pig. Although she never really smells bad. But I've noticed that I'm less allergic to her when she is clean so she'll be having baths more often now. Good thing she doesn't really mind. I'll have to take pictures sometime for you. I have no pictures of her now, but here are some other cute animals. The little black puppy

2006-08-16T00:35:00.000-04:00

A shawl for myself out of some leftover Fleece Artist yarn that I bought with my birthday money. And a hat for Kris' birthday. She asked for a Canadian hat. I also knitted a purse for Morgan but have no good pictures. (Bre if you take any, pass them my way please!)

Vacation

2006-08-11T11:23:00.000-04:00

I'm currently at my parents' house. Todd and I took a week of vacation. We've been having a nice time, seeing everyone and just relaxing. I just got back from camping with Morgan. We totally cheated - we went to the mall one evening, and then yesterday we went to the movies. Kris and Becci came to visit, as well as our parents. It was fun. I was glad to spend time with Bre one on one.I

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

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

I was just doing some online banking and I realized that I accidentally paid my last Mastercard bill twice! So now I have a credit of $350. That's kind of a nice mistake to make - better to pay it twice than not at all and to be gaining interest.Still, I've got to pay closer attention to my money.

It has been a long day.To start off, we were short staffed last night, and just the way the evening went I felt as though I did the bulk of the work (not really anyone's fault - shifts just go like that sometimes) so I was already tired. One of the guys was having a rough evening so there was quite the commotion in

My Dichotomous Brothers

Pretty much anyone who knows me has heard stories about my brothers. They are some of my favourite people in the world and I talk about them a lot. It's annoying - I know.But for anyone who hasn't yet heard my stories, here is a brief summary along with some photo evidence of how different they really are.Jordan the Jedi The older of the two, he's 18.

I went to visit my family this past weekend. It was a perfect visit. Busy enough to not be bored, but relaxed enough to not be stressed. I got to spend quality time with everyone in my family which was really good. I also took lots of pictures which is something I often forget to do. So expect photos for the next few posts.My parents's poodle, Chenille, had a baby three weeks ago. Here's a

My brother-in-law Ian stayed here for a couple days. We had a great conversation about theology about Mary and the saints and other Catholic/Protestant differences. He is a great guy and I have tons of respect for him.

I am going shopping for mangos in the morning and I am excited because they are on SALE! I am also loving this new iPod action. It's like having a soundtrack to my life. Even the mundane stuff like brushing my teeth. (The song for that action by the way was Jesus the Mexican Boy by Iron and Wine. Todd calls them the "coma band" because their sound is so slow that they might as well be in a

2006-05-21T23:48:00.000-04:00

Todd bought me an iPod shuffle today. He said he'd buy me one when he got his first paycheck and we've been looking everywhere for one but most stores are sold out. Finally today he found one. I'd been super grumpy all day and hadn't been very nice to him so I felt like such a loser when he came home with this awesome gift. Needless to say I've been a lot happier and nicer since. I called

Rod Stewart - The Rock Album I love Rod Stewart, and it was only $5 at WalMart.2. Gregorian Chant - Tribute to The Music of Elton John I saw this and said "that's the weirdest thing ever. I'm going to buy it." So I did. It is weird, but kinda

They are a lot more normal than some of my glasses in the past, but I like them.Todd says these look like old lady librarian glasses. I remember him helping m,e pick them out - he claims to have no memory of this.I think the brown ones are my favourites. They have rhinestones AND tiger stripes! Here's a

2006-05-17T22:13:00.000-04:00

I had social interaction from 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 tonight (I mean hanging out with someone other than Todd.) It was a great day. Should have been my day off but I had to go to a half-day of training. It was better than most of my days off though so I'm not complaining. Micah came for breakfast to kill time after dropping his wife off at work and before we had to be at training. After

I'm there with awesome people so even though the class part of it is kinda boring, the breaks and stuff are fun. I looked into my online college course this afternoon. It looks pretty easy and I'm all set to start the first assignnemt which isn't due for 3 weeks. Maybe tomorrow I'll get

2006-05-13T22:35:00.000-04:00

This is the To Dye For sweater pattern from the book Stitch n Bitch. I used a much thinner yarn than they recommended and used smaller needles so mine is kinda different. I used Fleece Artist yarn (which is Canadian for those of you who aren't in the know about stuff like that.)Lately I've been all about the Canadian yarn. This is my first successful adult-sized sweater and I love it! It

The Rainbow pair is for me. The peach pair is for my Mother-in-Law. When I showed them to Micah at work he sniffed them to see if they smelled like peaches.

Canadian Sophie

The name of this pattern is Sophie and mine was knit all in Canadian wool. The pattern is from Magknits. There's a link on the right.

Birthday Gift from Jordan

2006-05-13T22:25:00.000-04:00

I use it to hold all my double pointed knitting needles. They fit perfectly. Didn't he do an awesome job? (Jordan, the photos are uploaded to craftster's picture hosting under the name PrincessJazz2. You know my password if you need it, but I don't think you do.)

Links and more

2006-05-09T23:01:00.000-04:00

I'v eupdated my links at the right to include more of the blogs I read regularly. If you're someone who reads this and I have not linkd to, leave me a comment and I can add you. (Sorry JeN, - I know you read all the time but I have some young readers and your stuff isn't always PG so I can't link to you. I do check your blog daily though!)I also added a couple other knitting sites for you

Settlers

2006-04-30T17:10:00.000-04:00

Last night we went over to Micah & Sarah's place to hang out. They made us some very yummy chicken barbeque pizza and we played games after supper. Despite some objections from Micah, we played a round of Disney's Scene It. It's a fun game, but it's pretty simple. I guess it's made for kids. After that we played 3 rounds of Settlers of Catan. Todd and I had never played that before and it

Thanks to Danielle I figured out the comments problem and it's all fixed now so your comments should all be showing up. When I was going through the comments I realized that Cyn from www.pinkhairedgirl.com has been reading this. I felt sort of like I had met a celebrity. I've been reading her stuff for a few years now and she's smart and witty and funny and she knits and I didn't think she'd

Today

2006-04-27T22:53:00.000-04:00

Todd just got a new job for the summer - he was hired by an architecture firm here in Ottawa for a co-op term this summer. That's awesome! It's going to be great experience and he'll be making more money than I do!I had a lunch date with my Lizzie, my friend from work today. We found a Thai place that has pretty good food. Then we went to Dairy Queen and sat outside to eat our ice cream. It was

Presents!

2006-04-20T19:39:00.000-04:00

I got a parcel in the mail the other day from that Australian lady whose son I went shopping and skating with. She sent me an INSANE anount of yarn! She pretty much doubled my yarn stash. I'd post pictures but I doubt you people care. I think the only knitter who reads this is Tanya (btw Tanya, watch your mailbox) but if I'm wrong and there are more knitters out there, let me know and I can show

2006-04-18T10:27:00.000-04:00

I came home from work last night to find a dozen red roses sitting just inside the door. Todd bought them for me a a thank you for putting up with his crazy school schedule lately. They smell beautiful. Funny thing - we don't have a vase so he put them in the blender!

Little Toos

2006-04-18T00:04:00.000-04:00

I need to preface this story by saying that when Todd is asleep or just waking from sleep it's like he's drunk. Especially when he's waking from a nap. so...Last night, Todd was napping while my mom, sister and I were hanging out. When it was time for us to get ready for bed I went to wake Todd. (He was in our bed because he was supposed to sleep in the living room but that's where we were

I Got Mail!

2006-04-13T17:31:00.000-04:00

I came home today to find a package in my mailbox. I've been waiting for this package for what seemed like forever. Remember when I said I was knitting squares for a scarf square swap? Yes? Good. I received the finished scarf today. It has 10 different squares knitted by a bunch of different people. It's GREAT! It's all shades of black, white, and gray. I'm wearing it as I type. I would

Ouch

2006-04-12T14:37:00.000-04:00

I punched myself in the nose today. Really stinkin hard. So hard that it made me laugh and cry at the same time. And not just little crying, like watery eyes. No, I'm talking big tears dropping off my face and making little puddles. Mostly I was crying because I was laughing at how absolutely uncoordinated I must be to even be capable of punching myself in the face that hard. (And maybe a

Good Pharmacist and Old Friend

2006-04-12T00:00:00.000-04:00

My Pharmacist is the best! Most of you probably don't really have much reason to appreciate a good pharmacist but I deal with pharmacies a lot and this one is the bomb. I walked in today for some cold medicine and the pharmacist greeted me by name. He then told me that I was due for a new filling of one of my prescriptions and had it done up for me in no time. I'm the only person that uses my

Binny Pig

2006-04-04T20:11:00.000-04:00

One of the guys I work with has been asking me to bring Jessibeth to visit for a couple weeks. I finally brought her in today and he was so excited to see my "binny pig"! It was cute to see how much he liked her, and how well behaved she was! I'm sure I'll be bringing her back again since she was such a hit.My wrist has been killing me lately from knitting so much so I've been trying to do other

Skating

2006-04-02T16:30:00.000-04:00

I met up with that Australian guy again today. He had never been ice skating and really wanted to try it. I lent him Todd's skates and we bussed it all the out to Orleans to their arena. It was quite amusing to watch someone who had never skated before. He had never even worn a pair of skates, or roller blades or anything. It took half an hour to circle the rink 4 times. He fell a total of 6

Yarn and Mango

2006-04-01T23:23:00.000-05:00

I bought new knitting needles today. I splurged and bought the expensive ones. I'll be using them to knit with my fancy wool I bought with my birthday money so I thought it would be okay to go all out. I'm going to make a sweater. It'll be lovely but I'm afraid it'll also be itchy.I can't talk about my current knitting project. It's a gift but it's almost done. I'm also working on a pair of

I got my haircut today. I didn't have anything else to do and my hair's been bugging me lately so I went to the mall and got it cut. No one knows yet. Todd hasn't seen it. I like it. It's just above my shoulders so that's pretty short for me.That's all I have to say for now. I'm going to watch Oprah.

V

2006-03-25T20:39:00.000-05:00

Todd and I just got back from seeing V for Vendetta. It was really good. There was only exceptionally gory scene that I wish they had left out. I think this was Natalie Portman's best acting job I've seen. Very good movie. Also of note was the preview for Xmen 3. I'm super excited about that and will definitely see it in theatres.

Fantastic!

2006-03-23T18:49:00.000-05:00

I just got a letter in the mail from Kris. It had these earrings inside. I put them on immediately and declared them fantastic. They're made of yarn! Thanks Kris. :D

1. If any of you know my friend Aida, you'll be happy to hear that she and her husband Elidon had a baby girl on March 3. Her name is Ilda (I think, I didn't ask for the spelling.) Both the mom and baby are healthy. Aida's my first friend to have a baby. I made her a little sweater and hat with tulips on it. I'll post pictures tomorrow.2. Not as exciting as a baby, but also cool is my new

Some things I've been meaning to tell you

2006-03-10T01:15:00.000-05:00

Two little girls yelled to me through the schoolyard fence last week when I walked by during their recess "We like your scarf!" It made me smile.I met up with an Australian guy who's mother put out a call on Craftster (see link on right) for someone to take him yarn shopping for her. He's here working on his PhD and she wants some Canadian yarn and other crafting supplies. That was random and

.... we had an earthquake last night. A friggin earthquake. In Canada. I didn't know that was a possibility. I thought earthquakes only hit Asia and California. Apparently I was wrong. Our earthquake was a 4.5. We only felt it for about 10 seconds but I guess elsewhere it was stronger and lasted about 40 seconds. They say there might be more. We were talking about it at work today and

Todd and I went home for a few days. Our trip started off rough - the bus we were supposed to catch at 12:30 was full and a second one didn't come so we had to wait at the bus station until 7:00 am. I slept for about 2 hours on a concrete floor. Not so much fun. But after that everything was great. We saw Todd's family, we saw my family, we went to our old church, I went to the Embassy and

Phone Calls

2006-02-11T01:11:00.000-05:00

I read a book called Phone Calls once. The entire book was just phone conversations. I just remembered that as I typed that title.I was on the phone a lot. I talked to Bre, Debra, & Manjola. I called Kris, and I called work about 4 times. I talked to a customer service person at Rogers. I was on the phone more today than in the past month. I don't know why I don't call my friends more

I don't know what "meme" actually means, but I know it's like those email surveys we used to send out in highschool. Except that it's circulated through blogs instead of email. Here is the Four Things Meme: (I took it from Life in the Pink (www.pinkhairedgirl.com)).Four jobs you have had in your life:1. Waitress - I waitressed for 5 years at a few different places.

Winter

2006-02-05T16:24:00.000-05:00

Winterlude was supposed to start this weekend but the weather has been too warm and wet so it was cancelled for yesterday and today. That means I've spent most of my weekend off doing nothing. I went shopping yesterday, and then I went to see a movie on my own. I saw Pride & Prejudice for the second time. It's really good and I plan on reading the book. I wanted to go to the library today
