It's been not quite a month since my last posting...well...my last jokes really.

So I'm going to just do a point form mish mash. Ready?

  • I volunteered at the Alcan Dragon Boat festival this past weekend. I was assigned to work on the docks with other volunteers and members of the Vancouver Reserves. I had a blast. There were 197 teams, 4 docks with 4 boats per dock. I was dock #5 and before I had my break 30 boats had been in, loaded and unloaded with paddlers. Each boat held 28 team members. I volunteered for the hours of 630 am to 730 pm. Yup, all freakin' Saturday. The morning I had a slow run but by 3pm I was having a blast. And my team member was awesome! I admit it. I'm a tshirt whore. Volunteer or pay to attend...I have a few tshirts now. I think last count was 7 and it's only June.

  • MyLuc and I are good. Both to freakin' busy to have time for each other but doing good. He's now joined Rock Climbing. It's been two weeks and he's bought the shoes, the chalk, the chalk bag and next is the harness and belaying gear. He's also bought new goggles and balls for both Raquetball and Squash. He had the raquets already.

  • We have a new secretary at work. She's from New Zealand. The turnaround in our office is very extreme. Since i've been here there have been at least 7 secretaries for one set of the lawyers. I've been with my primary lawyer now for 3 years June 1st and had various seconds. I'm on my third one and they share the same first name. So my primary is Tom and my secondary is Thomas.

  • On Friday, June 15th I went and got two new tattoos. On my right wrist the symbol for Infinity. I heard a quote once "Infinity goes in both directions." Now to mean I think that like my Phoenix "rebirth" What goes around comes around. My right wrist is my gramma's wrist. I've worn the blue cancer bracelet that used to grace her wrist since she passed away last August. I am going to have it coloured in the blue of the bracelet and try to incorporate my primary colours of red n' yellow somehow as well. On my left wrist I have the printing "Breathe". This is something that is essential to life and when there is chaos all around you breathing is a must. It also helps to center and balance. In my opinion. My girly girl also had "Breathe" put on her left wrist tho' hers is in pretty fancy swirly script. It suits her as mine does me.

  • I am now helping out my little brother and his boyfriend by cleaning their condo here in Yaletown. Let me tell ya, it's easy peasy. The hardest part for me so far is figuring out wet laundry detergent.

  • The week of June 11th I ate out every day. How horrid is that....seriously. On Monday I went for Italian with my best Strongarm. She won a certificate for 4th place from Eat Vancouver. Tuesday it was sushi with the sis n' law, Wednesday I attended free First Aid/Emergency/CPR training that was provided by the Alcan Boat Festival...I had beef jerky and red bull, Thursday I went for Italian with Girly girl and her new beau and Friday to White Spot for a burger and sweet potato fries. Saturday my girly girl and her beau and I went for mexican and Sunday it was father's day and MyLuc made his corn, there was steak and baked potatoes, asparagus from the grill and salad. And I didn't gain weight. Pretty good I must say.

  • MyLuc's corn is grilled on the bbq then he halves a lemon, places the cut side into a half n' half mix of salt and indian spice n' rubs it on the corn as it comes off the grill. It is so delicious I am not going back to putting butter on my corn...it's healthier but for the salt.

More has happened for sure but that's it for now.

*HUGE HUGS* Thanks for stopping by and to those who have emailed and wondered where I am. I'm here just busy....but I'll blog when I can.
