I finally installed the Livejournal cross over plugin, thanks to Cetta ♥ ! This is what I love the most about WordPress. It’s so versatile, yet tricky . Hopefully, all of my entries written on my blog will be cross posted over to my old Livejournal account.

Shelby bought a pet uromastyx over the weekend. We helped him with his tank that the Edwards so graciously donated . Here is a picture!

Fob Rant

I dislike the fact that we need a key fob to get in to our condominium complex . Security-wise, I think it’s a great idea, but not if somebody’s asshole friend gets a hold of it somehow and breaks in to the bike locker to steal bikes for drug money . Matt finally got duplicate keys made so I can lock our door and exit the gate, but I am still waiting for that hateful key fob so I can enter the building!!!

On a more cheerful note, Chris and I went to the mall. Chris seemed anxious to build robots, and I just wanted to get my Mother’s Day shopping over with . It usually takes my packages a while to go through US/Canadian Customs, so I want to ship out my gifts early. I also bought some lovely citron green tea for my mother in-law . I really hope she likes it. Now I am just waiting for the weekend to finally begin.

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend . Mine was a real blast! Matt and I went to his mother’s house and I got to have a nice chat with his family. I had some of the best turkey & stuffing… cake too, but I still miss my grandmother’s honey baked ham and the lamb shaped coconut cake we have for Grandfather’s birthday every April . I know I will see them next year, so it’s all good!

Last Friday my friends and I went to Lynn Canyon and hiked about 3 kilometers for over three hours in the snow- yes, snow. As we went up the mountain trail the snow kept getting higher and higher until an old man told us to turn back. It was amazing, but now I am so sore …

On Saturday we went swimming- quite a change, eh? I got to relax my tired and aching muscles in the hot tub and watch my husband and our friends dive off of a super high diving board. I really cannot wait until the water slide park opens up in the summer. It will be so much fun! I hope to do a lot of things this year, namely going on a camping trip with friends, getting nice and tan, maybe even going fishing! I really cannot wait.

I am so tired and sore today. I think a nice hot relaxing soak in the tub is in order .

Lovely

In my late night etsy lurking, I found this pattern for a Peep’s candy rabbit scarf .

Wow! how cute is that!?

“One false step and you’ll send him on an hour long pseudo-philosophical rant that nobody understands like a cut scene out of metal gear solid.”

Recently I found a picture of my husband that makes me smile .
Back in September, Matt and I started out on an adventure to Mount Pleasant. The original intent was to find a winter coat for myself, but we ambled along admiring the beautiful Victorian mansions, visiting yard sales, and taking pictures of graffiti with our cellphones.

We eventually ended up seeing Tamara, Val, and Chris on that day too. I found a gorgeous yellow coat and had some of the best gelato ever – bubblegum and chocolate. Deadly, but mmm…
We should do stuff like that more often !
