Why?

• Why do people pick their nose in public? I know it's easy to walk around in your own little bubble lost in your thoughts but we can still see you there. We can see you diggin there and frankly, it's really grossing me out!

• Why do people feel the need to meander in the pedestrian high traffic areas during rush hour? I'm all for being on vacation or retired or playing hooky or whatever reason you have for not being a part of the mad dash to and from work, but for the love of god, get out of the way for those of us that slept in, or spent too long on our hair, or even just stood in the shower for an extra five minutes. We're late and you're in our way!

• Why do people think that their bag warrants a seat of its' own during rush hour? If you can sit there, in the seat beside your purse/laptop/shopping bags (and we all know how much I love and endorse the shopping excursions), and show me that you have in fact bought two tickets for the subway/streetcar/bus, then I have no qualm. If in fact your just an idiot then we have a problem.

Any one else with a few "why"s of their own?

It's all good

There is just too much good stuff over at Go Fug Yourself right now. You HAVE to go and check it out if you haven't already.

WTF Friday?!!

And what is going on here?!!!

I'm outta here!

Yes, the boss is away which has allowed me a little more "free" time. I still have a million things to do but with him gone I fine it easier to write them down in a list and then go and catch up on my blog reading! I'm so out of touch!

I'm heading to Vancouver bitches! You heard me! I'm going on Vacation with a capital "V". G's going out to do the Auto Show and I'm going so I can stay in his hotel and visit with all my peeps!! I leave next Friday on an 8:30pm flight and don't come home until the 9th of April. And I come back to a four day work week. Good Friday! Wahoo!

While I'm there, I hope to convince my brother and sister to come down so we can have some face time. I'll check in on the grandparents out in Langley/Aldergrove. My girl T is having her car presentation with her new business Arbonne. Mercedes people...shwing! My SIL's birthday party is on the 8th AND my boss and a work colleague are coming out for a site visit while I'm there. They want me to show them the town so now I have to find someone to fill me in on all the new hotspots.

I was never really a go out for dinner, bar star, club chick when I lived there. I mean I had my favourite restaurants but they were the little sushi or indian place on the corner where you could have a meal for $7.95. These guys like SWANK and considering the boss is paying I'm going to find somewhere good!!!

Plus there's all the other peeps to see. It's going to fly by I'm sure. But I'm really looking forward to being there. April is usually pretty nice. Not too too raining and the cherry blossoms come out around that time. It might be a little early for that but...whatever! I'll be on VACATION!!!

W T F ?!!

What exactly is going on with Sharon Stone?

Movies, movies, movies!!!

I'm not going to bother to talk about how I never have time to post anymore. Oh wait! I just did.

Anyway...

I inherited a laptop through work as I needed something to take notes on and do presentations with during offsite meetings. I love my new laptop because of why? Window's Movie Maker! I spent the better part of Friday night making a little movie with footage of Marlowe. Unfortunately the system crashed (great laptop!) and I lost it but it was fun to learn how to use the program.

My challenge now seems to be converting the footage that comes from my digital camera as a ".mov" into ".avi". When I did it Friday night, although it took a long time, it converted no problem. When I tried last night it crashed both our home desktop and the laptop. Not sure if my clips are too long or what but it's frustrating the hell out of me cuz I wanna play some more!!!

After that I have to learn how to post my little movies. You just wait! I can hear you all collectively rolling your eyes at the thought of Lucy and Marlowe movies all over my blog!

Yet another Update - Will I ever get back to regular posting?!!!

Rabsy is sick of seeing Orlando and all the laughing babies so I have to put something new in here.

First things first! My sister and her family are moving to Ontario!!! I'm so excited!!! As you may or may not know, my sister (and her husband O, she didn't do it all herself!) has three young boys and I've always had a hard time knowing they are growing up on the other end of the country from me. I haven't been able to spoil them the way an Auntie should!!! But now they'll be in Milton, less that 45 minutes away! They'll finish out the school year and then drive across and make a family vacation out of it! Another reason to anticipate the coming of summer!!!

Last night's Oscars were a bit dull to say the least. It's a good thing that a) I was hanging out with a group of friends and b) betting on the outcome. It's even better that I tied with TOJ and we got to split the jackpot! Yeah for us!!!

We've moved!!! Wednesday was the big move day! Phew! We hired movers this time for a couple of reason. First of all, we're lazy and we didn't want to have to do any work. Just kidding. Actually, we're just getting old and our bodies are breaking down so we didn't want to have to do any work. Alright alright! Considering it was mid-week, we didn't have the "friend-pool" to draw from so instead of doing ALL the work ourselves, we hired help. These guys were awesome. Two big strapping Russian guys with very very thick accents. Boy did they work hard. It was great. That's not to say we didn't work hard too; they were getting paid by the hour and the more work we did to help the less the final bill would be. All in all it came in at five hours from the time they arrived to the time they left, plus one hour of travel for them to and from. Let me say one thing: if you are a person over the age of 30 and you can afford it....hire a moving company to help you move! You won't regret it. I promise you. Just seeing those guys carrying our cumbersome items up the one level of stairs (new apartment is a walk up) was worth the price of admission. That wasn't my straining back or aching biceps. (I know they're huge already!) Well worth it I tell ya! If you're looking for a little company that has good hard working movers, check out GTA Movers.

That's about it. Living amongst boxes and chaos but I already love the new pad. The family was out yesterday and gave us the seal of approval. Big thumbs up. The girls (Marlowe & Lucy) are adjusting although Marlowe has taking to spending a lot of time in a closet. Not in a cowering kind of way but in a sleeping kind of way. Every time we can't find her she's sleeping in this closet. Oh well, at least she's sleeping and not meowing her head off like she did our first night there. I think we got maybe 45 minutes of sleep the whole night cuz she was so freaked out. But the next night she got rather closely acquainted with the closet (by accident got locked in) and we didn't hear a peep! So now we've given her a little more freedom by just locking her in the 2nd bedroom. Seems to be working out okay. She doesn't have too much space to roam and get freaky!!
