at last
my love has come along
my lonely days are over
and life is like a song
at last
the skies above are blue
my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night i looked at you (at last, etta james)
did i mention that i have the most amazing boyfriend in the history of the universe?? i do!! i get the most amazing love letters in the mail from him!! it's such a wonderful feeling when i'm reading them and giggling and smiling and remembering how cute he is. and, they're on pink paper. awwwwwwwwwwww!!
happy easter!!

happy st. patrick's day!!
even google dressed up!!
a little leprechaun came to my house and left me a cute card and candy!! horray!!
i'll be making irish potato soup and corned beef tonight for dinner which is probably better than my ancestors ate. anyway, they're from county clare which is where the cliffs of insanity are!! if you saw the princess bride, you'll remember those, but they're actually the cliffs of mohr. woohoo!!
erin go bragh...or erin go bra-less. whatever mood you're in today. :)

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There's bad times
But that's okay
Just look for love in it
And don't burn the day away...
Look, here are we
On this starry night, staring into space
And I must say
I feel as small as dust lying down here
What point could there be troubling?
Head down wondering what will become of me?
Why concern we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it
The time is short but that's all right
Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night
Take your hands from your eyes, my love
All good things must come to an end some time
But don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day away (pig, dave matthews band)
howdy kiddies!! i had such a fun day yesterday, even though i did work from 7-11. blah!! it was great because i got to kick it with the roomies in walnut creek. i love how when we get together, we can pick up from the moment in time where we left off. updates are always great because it's sort us going around in a circle until things are complete, and then even at that point, there's always more to say. :)
i met lauren and kelly at broadway plaza which i had never been to before. it's a really awesome outdoor mall, and luckily the sun was out yesterday, so it was perfect. i was wearing my converse which i thought was hella smart on my part because i knew we'd be doing a lot of walking. after about an hour or so, my feet were KILLING me. it wasn't my ankles, but my feet, so i just sort of ignored it. but by the last shop, i was really ready to sit down for a bit. i felt so dumb becuase i wanted to rest, but i knew the roomies were having so much fun walking around and shopping, so i didn't say anything. i grabbed a shake at yogurt park before i left, and figured THAT better put a smile on my face as i drove back to freakmont.
when i got in, my mom was looking at some old pictures of her, and showing them to me, and i finally had to tell her that i needed to lie down for a bit. she probably thought i was some rookie shopper. ;) i sat down on my bed, and started talking to bean for a bit, when finally i told him i had to go soak my feet in the tub for a bit. oh man...i can't even describe the pain they were in!! i filled the tub up with hot water, and my fun foot soak and felt like i was in heaven. thank goodness!! so fast forward a few hours, to where i'm actually looking inside my converse for some reason. i was talking to bean on the phone, when i saw them, picked them up, and noticed that they are TWO SIZES TOO SMALL. oh my god. how could i have been so dumb?? the hilarous part is that i've had them since christmas. but i've only worn them a few times, and for only a couple of hours at a time. i don't have the box anymore (which did have the correct size...i do remember that) and they have a scuff or two on em, so it's not like i can take them back. oh man. the other funny part is that i haven't noticed before. they didn't hurt before...and i didn't feel like they were too small back then. hee hee...yeah...that's the life of me.
i had such a great time with lauren and kelly and i wish we could hang out more often. it's great that we're all in the bay, but hard that we're spread out. being with them reminds me how much i'll miss them when i'm in canada. hopefully they'll come to visit and we can have more drunken adventures together!!

hey kiddies!!
as promised, here is the second half of my trip to canadia!!
when i last left off, it was valentine's day. i got the coolest present ever: a journal from beanie. awwwwww. he drew some stuff in it, and wrote so many amazing things. i totally cried when i got it. thanks, cutie!! we went out to dinner that night with his parents and his sis and her bf to a restaurant close to their house. it was really yummy, and i was totally full. and beanie and i split some raspberry sorbet. i was in heaven!!
we went into town again on tuesday to do some shopping for my family/friends. it was great to walk around, looking in the shops, and holding bean's hand. i miss the little things like that so much already. but i had a ton of fun at one touristy shop, buying silly canadian shotglasses, or t-shirts that said, "EH" on em. we had lunch at a mall down there, and i got to have poutine (see definition below) for the first time!! there was also an A&W which made me about pee my pants with excitement. i don't know where there's one around here, cause those suckas keep taking em away. i'm not sure if you know, but i love love love ice in my soda. and i bought one for me and bean, and didn't notice till i sat down that there was no ice in them!! i was like, "wtf??" there was actually a little sign on the cup that stated they didn't put ice in the drinks anymore because it dilutes it. yeah, if you take 75 years to drink it. i think this was also the night i requested that bean make me some popcorn. he's soooo good at it. cause it's not the microwave stuff, or even the air-popped kind...just made in a pot. but he knows that i only like a little butter and salt, so i think it's totally perfect. and even better that i can ask and he'll make it!! i have a slave for life!! hee hee...kidding. oh, and i think we watched napoleon dynamite, AGAIN. bean is so good at doing impressions...it's scary.
wednesday was sort of a blob day. i say that cause i don't know how else to describe it. it was the day i was flying back home. siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. also, this is when the nhl officially announced that there would be no hockey season. what a crappy day!! anyway, we had to catch a ferry from victoria to vancouver, hop on a bus to the airport, and say our goodbyes. i tried not to make it seem like it was a big deal, or i would have had big ol' tears flowin really fast. i of course saved this for the plane. thank goodness i had a window seat, and could just stare out and nobody could see me.
but i had so much fun with bean, and honestly, the days felt like minutes to me. i think the fact that we lost a day when i came AND when i left didn't help matters. here is what i did learn aboot canada!!
*U-Turns. can't do em. at least, not at a signal. bean says that if you pull over to the side, and wait for traffic to clear, then you can do em. that is still odd to me. (odd to bean, too!! he freaked out when i did one when he was here!!)
*Poutine. pronounced: poo-teen. canadia's version of chili cheese fries. well, that's my best explanation, anyway. we had it on tuesday, and it's basically fries with gravy and cheese curds. bean got it from a place called: new york fries. but they only have them in canada. (also, same with: boston pizza) i guess that's their comeback to us having: canadian bacon.
*French. the language is on everything. you have a bottle of ketchup, and everything is listed in english and french. thank goodness i took french in high school!! zut alor!!
*Touque. prounouced: two-que. it's another word for beanie.
*Chains. i knew there would be like mcdonald's and pizza hut and crap like that up there. but did you know there was michael's and red robin?? damn, we're invading with all our crappiness.
*Sorry. sweet lord. this is like every other word out of a canadian's mouth. i'll admit, i started saying it too. i had heard about this, but didn't know it was really true until i was at the airport when i had just flown in. bean and i went to get pizza, and some guy next to him got a bit close when they were looking at what kind to order, and both immediately say, "surry, surry aboot that." i was fucking CRACKING UP. nobody had even touched each other or anything. damn. i wonder what the world would be like if everyone was more polite like this.
anyway, that's the rest of my canada update!! woohoo!! i know i promised another update with jobs and shtuff, but i haven't made any annoucements yet, and don't plan to for a while. let's just say that the news is freakin awesome and if you want to know more details, you know where to reach me. happy times, happy times!!
p.s. oh yeah. i just realized that i might be allergic to milk, and/or lactose intolerant. i'm not sure if the difference (if there is one) but i guess i should get this checked out!! random.
