riddle me this.

new pic of dee -- sooo beautiful.

working @ boys and girls club is cool -- and so are five year olds.

example:

me -- (playing air hockey).

zoe -- (watching).

me -- (score a goal).

zoe -- hey! now you have five, same as me, i am five!

ahhhhhhhhhhh. kindergardeners are the best.


and then on the news tonight, George Bush was talking about the danger of Iran starting a weapons-based nuclear program...

and yet, Bush himself presidents the only country to have used nuclear weapons with the intention of harming other human beings...

interesting. at times, infuriating.

i had sushi and rice pudding for dinner.

here we go again.

I'm here!

in Lethbridge!

The moving thing isn't such a big deal -- besides, sleeping in "THE PINK ROOM OF WONDER" means that I get the luxury of a double bed, for just a bit longer. Although, to be honest, it's too short...I can stretch out head to toe. I have to angle across the bed -- so awkward.

Shelley -- wow, that was a ridiculous four months of not hanging out. I'm having a big ol' party @ thanksgiving -- consider yo'self invited.

All ye other blog readers, same thing goes -- thanksgiving weekend (oh, I'll be back in Richmond) will be a big ol' party -- so get ready.

I'm working today...just going through the Boys and Girls club staff manual. Wahoo. It's waaay further from my house than I thought -- we'll see how this job works out. It might not work out...but I think that's ok.

Hmm...there was a small wind storm last night -- with many more to come, it was an appropriate "WELCOME BACK".

team!

hey all.

so...i'm in golden. woot woot.

only one night and six hours 'til lethbridge -- but i may or not be able to move until friday...oh the challenges of roommaties and moveing about and all of that stuff...



Lord, give me strength.

For serious.

no jet planes, but still...

leaving.

next week.

monday.

aiieeeeee.

i'll pitch this putt.

Ben comes home from work.

"wanna go to pitch n' putt?"

"yes."

"really?"

"yep."

"ok, let's go."

So, me and my lil' bro headed into "the big citaay", to play a little 18-hole pitchn'putt @ stanley park.

We played 9 holes with issac and anna (strangers, but nice ones, who asked us if we wanted to team up), and then we quit because we were SO HUNGRY.

We headed to commercial, in the mood for some kind of ethnic food. We found a small, but wonderful, El Salvadoran restaurant -- Mmmm...Pollo Asado. What's up.

Then it was on to Belgian Fries for a deep-fried mars bar (me) and poutine (ben). I will never have another deep fried mars bar. Ever. *shudders*.

Anyway...there ya go. Melinda and Ben have an adventure.

we're home alone together this week -- there's an open invitation for dinner guests, sleepovers, monopoly tournaments, guest chefs, rock n' roll, jazz jams...lots of fun.

FUN TIMES.

I, personally, am looking for someone to help me transfer all my files from our desktop back to my laptop -- aiiieeeee. That's a long, slow process with no network, friends.

hey! hey! hey!!

EFFECTIVE DAY...

I got pedals that 1) fit my bike, 2) accomodate clips, and 3) were $8 less than the ones I bought before.

WOOHOoO!!

Rad Pink Helmet!

Newly Installed PEdals!!!

Does it get any better than this?

new habits part 2.

*SIGHS*

The new pedals don't fit my bike guys. It's like fitting a sqare peg in a round hole, except it's a round peg, and it's just not gonna fit.

This means, a super FUN trip back to the bike shop, with an existing pedal in hand, to ask them what I should do. *sighs*

Good thing I have a rad pink helmet.

new habits.

did you know that sprains are classified as first, second, or third degree? also, as mild, moderate, and severe.
at physio today, I was reflecting on how this newest injury (knee and ankle) really has changed the shape of my life, at least for the summer. Peter agreed -- how life can change in an instant...really makles you appreciate your health.

compy isslow, so that's the end of the blog.

e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
