and worse at the same time
there were these tragic russians
in the grocery store last night. one had a fox stoll on, and they were buying donuts at 9 pm. N was all “that lady has a dead thing on her, LOOK it’s a foot” and I’m like baby where do you think they are from?
and he grimaced and said “Russia”
(N’s Russian by the way)
it was a gross piece of flare though, it had eyes and a face, it was basically...
this is so very country and western, I just wanna...
“He gave her some ring, a promise ring or a forever ring or a friendship ring or...”
– these hills recaps are pure gold, if you can get through them.
it's like things suck
I was in the airport for 12 hours on sunday. it was pretty bad. they just kept telling us that yes, our plane was there, yes, our bags were on it, yes all we need is a crew - there’s a crew coming! yay! your plane is going to leave, everyone get on the plane! get comfy though, because we’re going to be in a de icing line up, it’s gonna take about an hour. ok yay! ...
hope you get out
bape:
Hiccup has become seizures. Bus plan to Seattle scrapped at the last minute. Now a YVR.
planes to toronto were cancelled but first they let us sit on the plane for three hours.
and there won't be snow in Africa this...
duh. When I was about grade 10 or grade 11, I’m thinking 10 because I was hilarious and adorable, but it could be grade 11, anyways, I was working as a bus girl in this shitty shit hole of a restaurant, the kind that filled up twice a week (Friday nights for Fish Fry, Sunday morning for Brunch) and I had to work Christmas Eve, which was on a Sunday and a brunch shift and pure hell, but I...
ungh
remember when I liked the snow? fail. my gym closed 4 hours early tonight because of a couple cm of snow. how incredibly useless.
keep going
I love this snow, I love it. I took the charge out for a stroll in the snow and she loved it, too. Don’t stop. More snow.
One downside - the bus was laaaaaaaaate and paaaaaaaacked. Whatever. I got in the back door and was squeezed against another puffy jacket who smelled really good. With a big smile for me, the little lady with snowy hair and red cheeks. Aw, shucks.
frosty
I love this cold! The dog and I were just out for nearly two hours, and it’s so nice to come home, all breathless and rosy cheeked, eat some lunch and enjoy the sun coming in the window. Give me cold over rain ANY (fall/winter) day. But don’t eff with my summer, mmmkay?

Watchthe spin move, documented for the first time
been a busy
couple of days here. we got some snow, and on his morning walk, N counted at least 2 car accidents, which is a lower number than I would have guessed. we went hiking on top of mt seymour yesterday and miss mitz was really happy to see snow again. she was rubbing her face and being adorable.
I got a dutch oven yesterday as a gift from one of the families I work for. I am going to break it in...
toast
I don’t think anything tastes as good as when the butter soaks in on toast. whoo-whee, that’s nice.
can we retire bailout?
year round
I use the post office year round so, at x mas time, when everyone else in the world thinks about how thoughtful cards and the mail are, I am annoyed to wait in lines. Can there please be a separate line for 1. people who use the postal service January through December and 2. the rest of everyone else. My line would be waaaaaay shorter. I either want separate lines or cheaper stamps, your call...

I’m going to design a completely pointless study that everyone everywhere already knows the results for.

You were the only one who could truly appreciate Jesus Christ Superstar with me.
This is CLEARLY about me. I spent most of grade eleven in my parents basement watching this and making out with my boyfriend. We got in a fight in March because he didn’t think it was funny that I took acid during our school’s musical theater production of Joseph Technicolor blah blah blah,...
I wonder
I was about to do a fat day post about how much I hate 1. all my clothes 2. my self 3. myself in all my clothes, but I just realized I’m 100% pms and just down on everything.
also, the amount of beans and flax I have consumed in a 24 hour period is not normal for me, therefore, in addition to the period balloon I also have legume balloon.
top that up with new haircut “hair...
don't you know?
my only goal at all ever is to do something where Alec Baldwin narrates. even if it’s me making a smoothie, I want him to narrate.
she goes to the fridge, grabs the soy milk and a bag of frozen berries. (etc.)
N has the stomach flu, so he’s home from work again today. Poor guy. I am waiting to get the stomach flu, so I’m just reading the internet and thinking about a shower...
cold
I went for a run in Stanley Park, the trainers at my gym are doing this contest and the thing is whomever burns the most calories over the next 8 weeks wins the pot, the pot being the 25$ each person paid to be part of the thing anyways I am so in it to win it. So I went for a run in the rain. And I’ll keep doing it so I can justify eating a massive slab of aged cheddar right before bed.
...
sun!
M and I frolicked in Lord Stanley’s Park for a couple of hours today. It was great. The treams were giving off steam in the sunlight and it made me feel quite lucky to be there. Now I have to get ready for work which means taking off a sports bra with really sore arms. I wish you were home, N.

someone come over and hold me

I guess it’s settled.
stroganoff
I tried a google image search for beef stroganoff but they all looked gross. That’s what were having for dinner tonight because I’ve been craving it non stop for weeks now.
Since it’s 50s inspired food, N will be wearing a smoking jacket, reading the paper and watching television while we eat. I will wait for my food to get cold before I eat it standing over the sink and do...
if it has to be christmas, then let’s listen...
the fog
is so low and so heavy that I can’t see three blocks away. but the sun is sort of coming through, so I think it’s going to burn off. not a hundred percent, but certainly close enough. and no rain. go Monday!
