11:25pm: I had a brilliant plan and it worked
tonight I decided to go to karenhj's and my favorite spot for tea. She was working but I thought I would go and have Sweetie drop me off there. While he was nearby doing some volunteering I enjoyed some tea. Now this might not seem like a brilliant plan in and of itself.

BUT--- my plan was to go there as there is no computers or televisions to seduce my lazy self out of homework mode. So indeed I read just over half of Anne of Green Gables. Fun book by the way!

The sooner I finish it the sooner I can start the related project assigned to the book. Wheeeee! There is hope.

9:17pm: need to keep hawaiindann happy
and keep him out of trouble.

You have clearly defined beliefs about what's good and what's bad in fashion but they are far from banal.

Even if sometimes you'd like to have more courage to put on something absolutely outrageous you do great job in creating a unique look that others look up to. There is a possibility that you work in the fashion industry. If you don't, perhaps you should. The opposite style from yours is Bar Cruiser [Flamboyant Conventional Random Sexy].

9:09pm: Venting
I could vent in this entry but that would only keep the poor shifted to the wrong place.


Preparing a death and afterlife journal is my task this evening. Think I need to put a lock on the tv.

11:07am: it is feeling very cold to the bone today
We just finished packing up the pond plants for a dormant spa treatment. Sweetie is currently draining the pond.
I think for it being our first year with the pond experience we did pretty good. I will miss the trickle of the fountain in the months ahead.


I was suppose to pick up dolmades from a friend on Wednesday on my way home from class. And I didn't remember until this morning when I saw her for another reason. Such a dork.

I have homework I need to do.

And book club has a set meet date...so I have got to get on with reading Oscar and Lucinda

11:06pm: I find it interesting that I am resisting
the task of keeping my death and afterlife journal for my death and afterlife class. I have a headache. I have a headache.


I have tons of ideas of what I am going to write in my journal on death and the afterlife. I just haven't put pen to paper. Perhaps I am in denial about my own impending death.

I laughed yesterday when someone mentioned that the primary cause of death was the act of being born in the first place.


I think part of my lack of work on this death and the afterlife journal is because I can't decide what form I want it to take. Do I want a special book for it? Do I want to do it in Word? Or something else?

I go to sleep now....hopefully not the eternal sleep of death but hey it would give me a good excuse for not doing a journal for the semseter.

6:58pm: 15
pounds of cukes made into dill pickles this afternoon.

Gotta love how that heats up the house and how heat can zap your energy level. I am ready to sleep but a former classmate and I are headed out for beers to prepare ourselves for the academic year ahead. Which for me begins September 1st.

I have a 1gig of memory flash card for my digital camera. I got it because I wanted it and it came with a 8 in 1 USB 2.0 with matching docking stand.

I will be ready to picture out in Florida come November.

I need to change my clothes...pickle making clothes not the thing for a trip to the pub.

4:43pm: Merci
karenhj

You were buckets of help and a treasure trove of wisdom yesterday.

11:23am: update sumpdate
Trying the freeware for image retrieval one more time...last time the computer must of got bumped out by a power issue...this second time around I have accessed 4479 files and it is up to 48% completion. I think it tapped out the first time at at about 23%. Doesn't appear to have retrieved much different photos than last time...but maybe if if runs the full course to 100% it may repair some partial pictures. No real reason not to let the thing run its course. It will likely take a couple more days.

The CIAPB's year end wrap up party was quite fun. Ran into a guy who was a grade ahead of me in school. Apparently it had been rattling his brain for months on end who I might remind him of...apparently it was ME.

Strange...he is dating one of the piper's in the band, hence why he was at the party. He is seriously an uptight guy. Good thing his partner is not. Actually his partner is a fun lovin' enjoying life at 46 as though he was experiencing everything as a 4 year old. He is a hoot.

8:17pm: Having a headache
and an earache that just won't leave town is annoying. I need to get healthy. Busy week ahead if that occurs.

7:11am: Went to watch the fireworks last night
At the spot we chose to watch there was maybe 6 cars that showed up. It was rather quiet and pleasant. Sweetie's gig on the grounds yesterday was cancelled. He was so happy.

It doesn't look like it cooled off much last night in the house. Which is of course not good as we are have 4 people over for lunch.

Wish me luck with that.

11:06am: It has been too many days
since I last made an entry. When did the time go you might ask? Well Spring semester is a doozy of a time. At least this time it wasn't a whole new language in six weeks. I am ready for summer. Well not quite...I am still tired and feel like I could sleep for weeks upon weeks. Our social calendar is getting very booked up. I do have some people that I need to see. Several that need my help with something. Maybe August things will mellow out.


The sun is shining and we are off for a little birthday dinner for Sweetie over at his parents place. His Mom apparently wants to try out a new recipe on us this evening.

OH and yesterday I was cranky for the most part. This for me is unusal...I think today that frame of mind has past away. I think I was cranky because my body hurt from all the Canada Day standing and walking on concrete.

Later. Hopefully before over a month of days go by.

11:20pm: I am drenched with the weight
of my tears.

I have much in life without earning it.

7:25pm: Talked to my only sane sister in law
She is feeling great. She had a hip replacement done last week and she is now back in her home. Apparently there is acouple of months to wait for the fusing to happen but all is well.

This is good news.

Oh yeah, ha ha ha girl pain...you can be squashed by a good caeser. Thanks to my Sweetie for taking care of me in my hour of need.

11:37pm: Crick in the neck
Thankfully tomorrow afternoon I will be going for a massage. Of course that is never a good experience because she works me over so much. I mean a massage is like a seriously intense workout...the muscles are worked it is just someone else does the work.

I got lost on campus tonight after class...okay and on the way to class I got lost. Hey! It is not my usual post secondary place of learning...

I must remember that parking in lot 25 will solve my problems...maybe?

10:14pm: Been running the routine of school life
Every thing is in semester compartments. I have jumped off the deep end and will be taking a Spring course but since it is not a language course I don't believe the brain will explode like it did when I took Spanish in the Spring a couple of years ago.

All my classes for the winter term are done. Exams start on Tuesday. Wheeeeee!

5:13pm: Finally got
my 10,000 steps in today. I have only been hitting the 6000 for maintenance. I wish you all a good night.

10:17pm: Anyone know what the direction
of the British TV show MI-5 thinks they are heading in? Tom gone! Zoey off to Chile never to return! Hmmmm is this the last season?

Do fill me in on these darn spies!

5:30pm: I don't have to work out tomorrow
and this makes me happy. Now don't worry I have not gone off the regime. It simply turned out that I went to the gym today instead of tomorrow. On the weekend I give myself the choice of which day to go. I ran into one of my past instructors of PLSC. I found out why there was no Alberta Politics course offered this term...the instructor who handles that course is on sabbatical.

I am happy to report that I finished reading one of my required text books for NTST course. I have to write a paper on it by Feb 10, 2005 so I am somewhat ahead of the game. I will have to read the assignment again now that I have read the text. It might make more sense than before.


karenhj is auditioning for a band this evening. I have no idea what the genre of music the said band plays but I wish her much success. Perhaps the third time will be the charm.


I am having kisher for dinner tonight. I am excited. I just have to make sure I don't gorge on it because tomorrow is weigh in day.

3:02pm: time to
venture out in the cold. I am not to fond of the idea as my car has been parked outside overnight. I thought it was a nice gesture to let Sweetie to have the garage for his car as he HAD to go out today. Me it is purely optional.

I wish you all a warm day.

3:42pm: All clean and dressed
save and except for my sweater, coat, gloves and boots. (Gotta love winter) I am off to meet karenhj for tea and a short search (due to the weather) for some novels I need for classes. Yes classes started up again on Tuesday. Things are good as I was able to change one class on the first day.

I will be doing Native Studies, American Literature 2 and Film 2.

As for that distance course. Time to get work on that puppy too.
