Please Leave A Message After The Beep...

Ian and I are hitting the road! Time to make a trip to Cooperton to meet the Mayor of Cooperville. A few days with Mr. Awesome himself and the fam before we head back up to New York to see Erik at LDRS 2009 (Rocket Launch). Until then... check out the little man we'll be seeing!

What A Steal!

I went to Sears today and saw this little deal... 3 cents... I could have saved 3 whole cents!

It's Officially The Crappy Part Of The Year

My glasses fogged up after exiting my car. Boo.

Ian: Baaaaahh

Me: and 1 Sheepow or is it a Cheep?
Ian: What?

Muskrat Love

Yesterday I headed to work and was going to get stuck in massive traffic. So I got off at the nearest exit... if I had gone past it the next exit isn't until right before my work. I took the back country roads that run parallel to the highway. I came down a little hill and spotted what we have now determined was a muskrat. He was a cute little bugger... carrying a branch in his mouth. He calmly waited for cars to pass and then motored in front of my car that thankfully I slowed and stopped for him to cross. Kind of like "coming through... coming through... I got things to do people... nests to build..." Lol.

Our Wedding: My Dress

I have brought home my dress. I tried it on at the bridal shop and couldn't stop smiling. It fits perfectly (actually it's a little big on me but I'll get it resized later this year)... It's the kind of wedding dress I've always wanted. Something really simple but beautiful. I brought it home in a dress bag and had to hang it in the guest bathroom until I find a better place. Ian refuses to look at it... he says it's bad enough he can see the shape of the dress. I'm absolutely giddy when I think about it. Anyway, for now my dress gets to hang out with Mr. Bubbles.

Point Me To The Nearest Fault Line

I have an irrational fear of of earthquakes. Multiple times over the past year or so... I wake up thinking there is an earthquake. The first time that it happened I jumped out of bed, screamed at the top of my lungs for Ian to get to the doorway and was absolutely convinced it was an earthquake. There wasn't one of course... Ever since then... I jerk awake when the bed shakes a lot (Ian). I'm convinced in my head that the building is shaking and that we're going to die. Thankfully for Ian I've stopped jumping out of bed and screaming. My heart practically bursts because it's beating so fast and it takes awhile to calm down. And yes, I know that I live in Canada and not in California... and yes, I know that the nearest fault line is probably in Alberta... But my brain doesn't seem to care. So unless I duct tape Ian to the bed to keep him from moving, how do I stop jerking awake multiple times a week?

Spontaneous Stress Explosion

Just a quick note that I might spontaneously explode at some point over the next 2 weeks. I'm developing training materials for a system, testing the system, making modifications to it and organizing training schedules and logistics. All of this needs to be done technically by the end of next week as the US goes on vacation June 29th through July 6th. On July 6th, there is a meeting that lasts the whole week in downtown Toronto. During the week I will be in Mississauga training different groups and then on that Friday in Toronto training the group from the meeting. The following Monday the system goes live and my head explodes. Yay. This also does not include my normal job functions and special preparations for the meeting in July. /sigh
