My girl Linds she's going through hoops n' loops n' emotions at a high speed but she always seems to remain on stable ground while the world around her spins n' twists. I am glad to be one of the friends that friends think of and that I can fit into the "calm in the storm" or the "calm in the midst of the chaos" definition...is that right...I think so....it sounds good to me. *HUGE HUGS* I'm there for you my girl and know that whenever I sign on to gmail for you I get tone one of those songs that stick stuck in my head.

My girlygirl is having trouble with a long distance relationship...I mean looooooooong and she really wants to have him home and not just talk to him on the landline. It's tought but hopefully she knows I'm there for her.

Borrowed from GSD :

Although the name Melissa creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it can cause a superior, interfering expression whose favorite expression is "I know" when not combined with a balanced last name. This name, when not combined with a balanced last name, can also frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses through worry and mental tension.

*Let's hope MyLuc's last name is one of balance ... although that is the symbol I had engraved on his ring - Balance
**Worry...me...naaah


Your name of Melissa gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life. You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age. Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right.


* Business judgement - Great...NOT...although maybe that is why I was asked to balance the accounts for Eisenmarche.


Here's a quick blurb - well, I hope it isn't too long. I'll go from most recent n'o'course be sporadic.


My TNT (Team in Training) bracelets came in. I am going to sell them for $5. I have also been in touch with a local hot spot to host a fundraiser and I'm trying to get some businesses to donate for a silent auction. So far my training is going awesome, my fundraising so-so. But I'm trying.


MyLuc and I went windsurfing (Windsure) and I'll be the first to admit that I spent more time in the water than on the board but it was awesome. $50 for a 2 hour into lesson. The first hour for board work on land and wind knowledge and the second in the water on the board. I got "boomed" on the head so many times the instructor Dominique (nummy for a little guy 5" maybe") came over to check my pupils for a concussion. MyLuc took off and loved it although he said that getting the salt water outta his beard and hair was gross. And the highlite...telling Matty (the guy in the shop) that I needed a big wetsuit and getting the full body look n' him saying Naaaah you're just the right size. It was awesome. I wanted to give him a great big hug but that was until I had to shimmy n' squeeze into the wetsuit. Have you ever worn one? It's an adventure.


MyLuc and I attended a wedding of a family friend's son *shrug* I don't know the whole connection actually only that it was when MyLuc was a little'un. It was nice. Outside on the grass, short vows n' tears from both the bride and groom. The bride wore a simple A-line gown with beading on the bodice. If'n I can ever get the pics from MyLuc's computer I'll post some from their first dance as husband n' wife. It was awesome.


MyLuc's ring finally came in. I am going to hold onto it tho' and ask him again if he will marry me. This time I'll do it on his birthday n' then he can't remember the day. Although is the engagement day a day to remember? I mean, I remember our first date day April 6 although to MyLuc it's April 7 and his birthday which is Sept. 8 and some of his family members bdays (although that's cuz they correspond with bdays in my family) but is the engagement day a day to remember?


I talked with my Mom n' she said that Sprout (my little bro) was going to call me cuz he misses me. Surprised me cuz he disowned me last year on my bday for being selfish n' all. *sigh* If'n he wants to put the past behind that's okay. I mean we can't dwell and although my heart still kinda hurts for the mean words he spoke (wrote)...I can forgive...it'll just take a bit.


Haven't heard from Stretch (my other little bro) is a long while. When MyLuc n' I were in Trail Stretch showed up on the Friday and then Saturday lost his wallet with all of his money in it and had to leave cuz he had no id or rent money or nothin' n' had to get back to Creston n' get it fixed. Haven't heard from him since so I'm a little worried. But I'm the big sister that's my job.


Totally excited about September.


Friday I am going to listen to Toot-a-Lute - a medieaval folk group..members of which are my exes (is that the right spelling?). Saturday night, some of you may shake your head, I am going to BSB (and for those of you who don't know, that's okay). Sunday I have a training day 10km from 8am til I finish. Now I just walked 10km with MyLuc's mom and it took me 1.5 h. We'll see how long it takes me when I have the trainer with me. I know the first thing she'll say is Melissa you need to look at proper shoes cuz those cross trainers just don't work but then my response will be if you can afford to buy them I'll take them cuz if not you'll have to wait for payday. And then Monday will be recuperating. Although MyLuc wants to go windsurfing again and check out kitesurfing. We'll see.


And we'll see where Tuesday and the rest of September bring me. Cheers! to adventure!

Some quotes for the end of a Monday week:

When women are depressed they eat chocolate and go shopping. When men are depressed they invade another country ~ Elayne Boosler

A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what a man can't ~ Rhonda Hansome

This is from a very wise little girl:

A teacher asked her class, "What do you want out of life?" A little girl in the back row raised her hand and said, "All I want out of life is four little animals." The teacher asked, "Really and what four little animals would that be?" The little girl said, "A mink on my back, a jaguar in the garage, a tiger in the bed and of course I'll need a jackass to pay for all of it." The teacher fainted.


And cuz sometimes I think of others:

Me Too Glamazon...Me Too!

Samurai


You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You are not really the stereotypical hero, but you do fight for good. Just in your own way. For you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil person, if it is for justice and peace. You also don't belive in mourning all the time and think that once you've hit a bad stage in life you just have to get up again. It's pointless to concentrate on emotional pain and better to just get on with everything. You also are a down to earth type of person and think before you act. Impulsive people may annoy you somewhat.

Main weapon: Sword
Quote: "Always do the right thing. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest"-M. Twain
Facial expression: Small smile

Tagged I'm It!

Thank you to Beck for including me. Okay, here goes:

10 years ago: Approximately: I graduated from high school. Worked as a dishwasher in a Chinese food restaurant where the non-english speaking mother of the cook would yell at me and he'd translate in a really really bored voice. I moved back to the Kootenays to nanny my cousin and did that from 3 months to 1 year.

And then: I moved to Prince George and began my career as a Security Guard for a Pulp and Paper mill. I moved back to the Kootenays cuz I missed my mom. I moved to Vancouver because I couldn't stand my mom's husband. I worked as a Security Guard graveyard shift (11 p.m. - 7 a.m.) I decided I didn't like Security and Vampire jokes and went to school to become a Legal Secretary.

5 years ago: I moved to Port Moody with my friend Lisa in an awesome 2bdrm condo. I worked at a lawfirm where I was treated horribly and was kinda sorta depressed. Had joined LifeMates as I lost a bet with Lisa. Met some horrid gits and those that shouldn't have passed the screening.

1 year ago: I celebrated my first anniversary with MyLuc and he took me to our first date restaurant. I began working at my current firm where I totally get along with my lawyer and the work doesn't cause me to pass out from migraines. Still stressful but manageable.

Tomorrow: Will be Friday! Thank goodness! I will hopefully have my fundraising information packet finished, letters and all. My accounting for Eisenmarche in the mail and outta my bag.

5 snacks I enjoy: PB & B sandwiches, carrots, baked taco chips, my mom's oatmeal raisin cookies and MyLuc's cheesecake (all of them).

5 bands/artists that I know the lyrics to most of their songs: *blush* BSB, Abba, Elvis, Reba, Bon Jovi

5 things I'd do with $100,000,000: Pay off all my debts, MyLuc's debts, Stretch's debts so he can become a pilot, buy my Mom a home, send Sprout to school.

5 locations I'd like to run away to: New Zealand, New Orleans, Florida, Cuba, Hawaii

5 bad habits I have: Chewing my nails, Totally!, umm....interrupting people when they're talking, twirling my hair around my finger, bugging the cats.

5 things I like doing: Reading anything and everything, listening to music, visiting with friends, eating good food, Walking nowhere in particular.

5 thing I will never wear: This is a hard one, I wear most things.

5 TV shows I like: 70s Show, The Closer, CSI Las Vegas, Trading Spaces, Clean Sweep

5 movies I like: Recently - Coach Carter, In Good Company, Sky High, Classics - Father Goose, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

5 people I'd like to meet: Mother Theresa, Elvis, Michael Landon, Princess Diana, Reba

5 biggest joys at the moment: Shocking people with my Rebel Red streaks, trying to choose MyLuc's ring, Friends, MyLuc and sushi!

5 favorite toys: My big bird chair, barbies, yellow ducks (Quacklin o'course), Sarah and Tonka Trucks

5 people tagged: Mom to the Screaming Masses, Motherhood is NOT for Wimps, Bananarants, Glamazon Shoe Diaries and 15 Minute Lunch.

Hello All!

Back to the grind now. Day 2 after a week and 2 day vacation. It's so hard to get back into working 8-4 and getting up at 6. But what can you do, gotta pay the rent and all that other miscellaneous stuff like food n' clothes.

The pictures are on their way. I tried sending them to Picassa from MyLuc's computer but they were too big so I've gotta edit them.

I had a blast with my new camera. The pics below are from our night on the town - well a coupla hours really where we had dinner (pub food = burgers n' onion rings) drinks and o'course played some pool. I didn't play that much because I kept losing...a lot. Most of the games actually.

It was great being in Trail to see my best Tami and her fiancee Chad and o'course her cutie toddler T-man MyLuc was thrown head first into the Cameron family (my moms family) and o'course Tami's family as well, including parents, brothers and wives and children. He did fairly well and o'course survived the heat. It was so hot there you couldn't breathe.

Hopefully I can download some pics of my mom and family. I'm kinda proud of the way some of the pics turned out.

After returning to New West from Trail I went out to Mission to stay with MyLuc's mom. We were supposed to do a wine tour but it was too hot and his mom didn't want to drive. Sooo...we did sushi, costco and walmart. I took a whack of pics of their garden so hopefully I can get those on here too.

I should really be getting back to what they pay me for. Working on the computer and doing paperwork.

*HUGE HUGS*

Talk to you soon.
