i said pumpkin!!!

I went out with some of my classmates tonight. We ended up at JP Bullfeathers and I got excited because I was really hungry and this place serves pumpkin ravioli! I took my first bite and thought to myself, 'this doesn't appear to be the correct texture'. Then I thought to myself, 'gee where is that sweet spice flavor to accompany my pumpkin'. Then it hit me. The repulsive taste of shrimp. SHRIMP!!! I spit it out into my napkin. I had to chase that nastiness with 2 Irish car bombs to get the taste off my tongue! Blah!

On the way out we noticed the estrip chalkings on the sidewalk. I'm glad it's out there, but I'm not gonna lie, my heart broke in two that I wasn't involved. Ask (e:Decoyisryan). I meeped for about 10 minutes. Ciao.

it's a sunshine day

I took my sister, Brad and Alex to Niagara Falls yesterday. At one point in my life I was a licensed tour guide, so I really do enjoy taking folks to see it. I never get tired of it. It was such a beautiful day full of sunshine and rainbows. It really lifted my spirits.

We played around at the Midway on Clifton Hill for a bit. Later that night we decided we hadn't had enough, so we went to Dave & Buster's. That place is fantastic, I never knew! Video games, bars, pool and bowling! We should make an (e:peep) outing one night! Ciao.

random photo

I was having coffee at SPOT with (e:Nejifer) and (e:Decoyisryan) tonight when (e:Joshua) made an appearance. It reminded me of when I ran into he and Jerry at Cecilia's last week.

broken dream

I most likely will not be able to continue with my plans to visit Germany for the big FIFA World Cup 2006. It kills me to even think about it. I've waited 4 long years for this and now, just as I can see it on the horizon, a thick fog rolls in. So close, yet so far away.

Maybe it's selfish of me to want to go but it has been a dream of mine to watch my boys play in the end all be all of soccer championships (my opinion, yours may vary). My family needs me. More specifically, my pregnant sister needs me and I should do everything I can to help her, including missing my trip. I can't do both. I simply don't have the funding, nor the time. That makes me a little bit sad. Ciao.

....and you'll never walk alone.....

the good, the bad, the indecision

I was offered a job that I really want. I'm waiting to hear if I am offered another job I want a little bit more. I'm supposed to give the first offer an answer on Monday. I most likely won't hear from the other until later in the week. I don't know what to do.

a tale of toronto

First and foremost, I want to wish a VERY Happy 30th Birthday to (e:imk2) today!!!!!

We headed up to Toronto last night to see the UB40 concert.
image
Long story short, we were 3 hours late. They wouldn't let us in, so we went round to the back stage door and grooved to the crystal clear sounds of the last 5 or 6 songs. Man I love that group.
image
We wandered around town for a bit.
image
image
image
We grabbed dinner at the local market. Here is Yvonne holding our noodle soup bowls and chopsticks amidst the colourful detergents. How much detergent does one need to stock in a little market anyway?
image
Today we hit H&M, Chinatown, the Shoe Museum and the Polish village.
image
These flip flops got my attention...I just don't know what to say
image
On second thought, I do.... "holy chow"!
image
Weird shoes...
image
Cool shoes....
image
I want these shoes! (made with a genuine Guinness beer can)
image
What exactly are these 'bubbles' in bubble tea? I ended up with a purple drink that tasted like coconut with green gelatinous balls as displayed by (e:imk2)
image
We enjoyed a tasty Polish dinner and made it back to the car just in time to stop an inspector from writing up a ticket...phew!
image
On the way home.

grab your lederhosen

I stuffed my face with a dozen Cadbury mini eggs last night at (e:jenks)'s. What does this tell you? Easter is upon us. Even if you don't believe in or celebrate the day, I'm sure you still indulge in all the tasty chocolate treats that emerge but once a year. That's not my point so I'll shut up now. Go here:

a little bit like me again...

My friend Cory came over tonight. We played ping pong and he won - but I was very, very close. We played pool and he won - but I was very, very close. We played nut busters and I'm pretty sure I won, but maybe it was a draw.

He flipped me upside down and held me in the air, which made me smile ear to ear - because that impressed the shit out of me. We played old skool N64 Mario Kart and I kicked his ass to the moon!!! I was laughing, I was smiling, I was enjoying myself...I felt a little bit like me again...reigning champion of Mario Kart, mistress of the universe, cool girl on the block.....I felt a little bit like me again :)
