Crap.

Can’t top that!

I think I’ll be making strawberry shortcake.

Congrats again, Ginger! Aren’t you excited!

I am doing nothing as fun as you, I am hosting my 10 years old’s birthday.

I can top that.

1. Clean my room for **Airman** ’s arrival this afternoon.
2. Make pie.
3. Continue to work on introducing Aaron to the joy that is Life Outside Mom’s Body.

Congratulations, Ginger!

Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

As for what I am doing, I should be working, I have scads of work to do, but right now I am procrastinating. And I’ll be playing with my kids at some point.

Congratulations! 🙂

It’s a lot less exciting than a wedding, but I’ll probably be getting up at 8 (although it’s a little past 3 here) and going shopping. Then off to my boyfriend’s house for snuggles and video-watching, and probably an early night since Uni starts the next day.

Congrats, **Ginger**! I definitely can’t beat that. It’s going to be cleaning, errands, and then the movies for me.

I will be wishing for my Fairy Godmother to whisk me off to the Ball with her magic wand, so I can see my friend get married.

Unfortunately, the fairies in Vancouver aren’t that magic.

All the best to both of you, and to Ginger’s family who I have not seen in awhile either. (Mom & Grant, I love ya!)

I am plotting the overthrow of the govenment of Argentina.

I learned to fly.

I looked at my anal in the mirror.

I used curse words in scrabble.

I considered frying an egg, and abandoned the idea in favor of eating macaroons.

I narrowly avoided wetting my pants.

I walked through the rain.

I drank a white russian at 11:30 AM.

I masticated.

I graduated from three colleges simultaneously, while at the same time flunking out of two.

Much Love,

Ihave to clear out my flat so the owners can put in new carpeting (by order of the city). Las week I rented a storage unit. Right now I’m taking a break from taking some of my books out of footlockers and putting them into smaller cardboard boxes. Then I need to put my excess clothes out of the dresser and put them into the footlockers. Then I need to start moving the stuff into the storage unit. I think I’ll start on that tomorrow.

**Scotticher** : Funny, I’m sitting here wishing I was _there!_

Oh yeah, congratulations **GingerOfTheNorth**! 🙂
