So the furniture in my living has all been rotated by 45 degrees so that all furniture now has its back at 45 degrees to a wall, rather than flat against it. I myself, did not undertake this endeavour, but rather, I went to the grocery store to buy apples and bananas and returned home to find my lawyer of a boyfriend (see paragraph 2 of this post for details) gone, but having fully shifted my living room! Apparently he has a knack for interior decorating... including such things as arranging plants at varying levels so that your eye is drawn upwards, making the room look bigger. I appear to have identified an new trait to enjoy! Anyways, it makes the room look bigger... all I need now (or so Sean tells me) is a carpet!
Paragraph 2: This past Friday was Sean's "call to the bar"... he is now officially a lawyer! He even has new business cards to prove it! One thing that makes me a little sad about his tremendous success, is that I might be ineligible for jury duty. But yes... the sentiment of the weekend has been "Yay Sean! " *proud smile*
Paragraph 3: It's raining. Correction: it's POURING!!!!! And it's thundering... and lightninginig... and I really shouldn't be using my laptop. I'll finish quickly...
Paragraph 4: This week I am keeping busy with dragon boating and ultimate frisbee. I am doing one of the two, Monday-Thursday. Last week I went out to buy shirts of the appropriate colour for each of my ultimate teams. I discovered that shopping by colour is incredibly easy! I walked in, surveyed the scene, and headed straight for the racks containing either red or green tops, of which there were not many! Bushtukah's phenomenal sales came through, and I saved a minimum of 65% on all purchases! SUPER!
Ok... c'est tout pour maintenant! Does anybody know what apple butter is?? I had a cookie made with it today, but I'm not quite sure what it is. The cookie didn't have the same crunch that I usually enjoy in cookies, and I'm pretty certain that this was due to the lack of butter (cow butter?) or margarine, that is a staple in most cookies.
End scene.

randomness
welcome to my blog. post 1 will be a random assortment of facts, tidbits and anecdotes from my week...
sunday night i returned the jar of "just peanuts" peanut butter that i got at loblaws, because i opened it up and it looked funny. it was all congeled, but not the way all natural peanut butter normally congeles... it was weird! the lovely teenagers at customer service were so disgusted at the thought of what might be inside the jar, that they didn't even look and just handed me a new one! several spoonfuls in and all appears well in jar #2.
i'm playing on 2 ultimate teams this summer: "the mad cows" and "gang green." the mad cows are far more competitive than gang green... but both SHOULD be a good time!
dragon boat season has begun! i have recruited my mother onto the team. what better sport to pick up when you're 60 than dragon boating right? the benefit of having your mother on your dragon boat team is that she takes you to baskin robbins afterwards!! mmmmmmmm perils of praline!
ok... here's an interesting link to read if you're bored... http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/postal-ca.html
ummm... what else have i learned this week... QP note stands for "question period note"... and when you get a request for one, you gotta work fast!
ok. enough randomness for post number 1. perhaps next week i'll follow simon's advice and aim to put something on about cooking... this week all i cooked was "chicken and rice and everything spice"... but i made it with pork and chickpeas instead of chicken... yes.
later!
