Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Thursday Funny

A guy with a black eye boards his plane bound forPittsburgh and sits down in his seat. He notices immediately that the guy next to him has a black eye, too. He says to him, "Hey, this is a coincidence. We both have black eyes. Mind if I ask how you got yours?"

The other guy says, "Well, it just happened. It was a tongue twister accident. I was at the ticket counter and this gorgeous blonde with massive breasts was there. So, instead of saying, I'd like two tickets to Pittsburgh ,' I accidentally said, 'I'd like two pickets to Tittsburgh'. So she socked me a good one."

The first guy replied, "Wow! This is unbelievable! Mine was a tongue twister, too. I was at the breakfast table and I wanted to say to my wife, "Please pour me a bowl of Frosties,honey." But I accidentally said, ' You ruined my life, you evil, self-centered, fat-assed, bitch.'"

*shakes head* what a coinkidink huh

Paths/Decisions

I have been thinking lately of the paths/decisions I have chosen and what might of been if I had wondered down the other one.

If I had not decided at 15 to tell my parents I would move in with my Grandparents because I was tired of being beaten by my father would my mom have decided to stay "for the kids".

If I had not decided to confront my father and tell him what I thought of him what would I think of him now?

If I had not decided to move in with my Grandparents instead of moving back to Elkford would I be working at the Coalmine, have a few kids, be an alcoholic and single?

If I had not decided to move in with Paige where would I be? Still working in Trail *sigh*

If I had decided right then when my Uncle L said come to Lillooet and work with me instead of saying I'll call you back...would I still be there?

If I decided not to work as a nanny for my cuz Dakota and move back to Sparwood would I have moved to Vancouver all the sooner?

If my aunt had not been so convinced that I was abusing Dakota knowing my history and how I so would not hit a child...would I have stayed his Nanny?

If Tami had not called and said we're moving to Prince George c'mon down...would I still be in the East Kootenays?

If I had found a job right away...on my own...would I have not ended up on welfare?

If I had chose cooking over security would I be still in Prince George?

If I had decided to go with Tami to Peace River instead of trying on my own to stay stable in Prince George by myself would we have stayed in Upper Alberta?

If I had not missed my Mom so much I dropped/quite everything to go back to Elkford would I still be in Prince George doing security at the Pulp Mill?

If Mom's husband hadn't been such an ass and Erin hadn't called telling me come to Vancouver they're jobs here...would I still be in Elkford? working at the Coal Mine. Single. With kids?

*phew* And that's the beginning. I've been here in/at the Lower Mainland since 1997.

Seattle Adventure 2006


This was as close to the Space Needle as I got. I wanted to go up but Erin didn't. So...we didn't.






I bought a half pint of chocolate milk. It was so little and cute. I don't see these in Canada so I had to indulge.





Erin's $1.75 (or something) two scoops of chocolate something or other and my $2.50 little cup of dippin' dots. We definately don't have this in Canada. It's freeze dried icecream...banana split flavour. It was awesome.



And o'course the little 6 pack of Tabasco that I picked up because it was too cute. Good for one or two lunches only tho'. Posted by Picasa
Seattle Adventure 2006

For those that know me and those that don't I am not a fan of 'Girl from Ipanema' no matter if Blue Eyes sings it or not. MyLuc whistles it if he wants to be annoying. I mentioned that he must have been thinking of me. We saw this sign on the Friday and Saturday the song was playing in the Pike Place Market.


I wish rooms were this cheap. Erin and I went through the Underground tour which is sort of like Storeyum in Vancouver although not a play but an actual tour of the Seattle downtown underground. We found this sign on one of our walkabouts.


This statue was in one of the dog parks. It is actually one of three crouching dogs. I thought it looked cool.






Ride the Duck! I so wanted to do this. It was a tour with a on land boat that went through Seattle and then the inlet. It was a bit pricey but it would have been so much fun. And o'course the funky duck is really cool. Posted by Picasa
Seattle Adventure 2006

This is my new wooden windup duck. He has quite the pucker and o'course goes and goes. I have to keep him away from the cats tho' or he'll be picked up and taken to their toy hideaway.




Coke Blak. I haven't seen this in Canada. Coffee flavoured Coke. Tastes like a coffee candy and was oh so yummy. They were handing out samples and I picked up quite a few. Only one made it back to Canada to MyLuc. He didn't enjoy it as much as I did.






My Myokki! Just like a Chia Pet but smaller. I can't wait until my office moves and I can try and grow my little Chick some hair. I have to admit I thought it was a duck until on the Amtrak ride home Erin and I read on quite a few places on the packaging that it was a Chick.





Buddy Christ! I picked this up for MyLuc. He's a huge Kevin Smith fan and o'course thanks to Dogma I was able to find this for MyLuc. Posted by Picasa
