Day 45 without Internet...

I might simply go insane. I still don't have Internet at my apartment. The modem was ordered over 3 weeks ago and it was supposed to be here 2 weeks ago. So answer your question, yes the only blogging I've done in the last month and a half has been at work.

Strange Dream

Last night I had a dream that I was staying in a hotel suite with Ky and Amanda. Suddenly about 50 people I know came over just about the time we were going to check out and no one would leave. People upstairs were filling out forms for Canada Post. The room was completely silent becuase people had to concentrate so hard. I went downstairs and there was a bunch of guys watching a movie called 28 27 29 (not a real movie just a made up one in my dream). A lot of the movies weren't labeled so I got a marker and started guessing what movie it was. The guys got mad it me for that. I told you it was a strange dream. All though it is not as strange as dream I had about playing beach volleyball with my sister, parents and elderly grandmother.

I swear it is a different Janice

I was reading Ultratart this morning when this sentence caught my eye:
"But, you know, way to go, Janice: bringing hot naked dudes in underwear to the American public. It is about time. Bless you. You are doing God's work."

My honest response was "I didn't do that". Does it make me self-centred to not consider that there maybe other Janices in this world?

World Cup Sadness

I wanted Italy to win (mostly for the sake of my fantasy football team) but I feel so bad for Austraila's goalkeeper. He looks so sad because he knows with only seconds left in the game there is no way they can win.

From Greeks to Majorettes

Two events of note from this weekend:
1) Late Saturday night, I saw two teenage boys walking down the street in togas.
2) Yesterday some people from my church went to sing at a nursing home. After I finished reading a verse instead of shutting off the microphone, I pushed a button that produced a drum roll.

If you haven't already seen it, you need to check out
Wes Anderson's American Express Ad.
Simply brilliant but you may only find it funny if you have seen his movies.

Another Random Celebrity Trio

I like to imagine the kind of conversations Shirley MacLaine, Mischa Barton and Kevin Spacey. It scares me that Kevin Spacey seems to be the most normal of the bunch.

I'm not sure it can beat last year's Johaniven grouping.

Stanley Cup Fun

I was at a wedding this evening so I missed tonight's hockey game. I got home I was checking out NHL.com for the recap when a link caught my eye...Stanley Cup having lunch with Kurt Russell

That is Not Natural

Nothing says World Cup like a romance between a lion and a soccer ball.

Two hearts as one? Sweet berry princess! What is wrong with the Germans (host of the World Cup)?

Birthday Road Trip #1

I can't believe I have not had time to write about this until now, this happened nearly 3 weeks ago. Anyway, late news is better than no news.

I worked 13 hours on Saturday and was ready for a much needed break. Sunday was my friend's birthday and the plan was to go out to his dad's cabin for the day.

We all met at my friends house so we could car pool out to the cabin since it was about an hour away. When we were deciding who was going with who, I was told that I was going in the vehicle that had to pick up someone on our way out of town. A couple problems with that situation:
1) The driver was not told that he had to pick anyone up and I mentioned after we left.
2) No one knew how where this guy lived that we had to pick up.
3) When we phone the birthday boy for directions, they were wrong
4) When we called the guy we were picking up for directions once we realized we were lost, he gave us the wrong house number.
All of this resulted in us leaving the city over an hour later than we were supposed.

After for traveling for about an hour, we realized that we had missed a turn off. The only person who knew the way was reading and not paying attention.

We had a lot of fun traveling. Lots of "car dancing", Oiler flag waving and funny conversations. The driver even invented a new dance which I believe he calls "Feeding the Baby".

Am I the Only One Who Finds this Funny?

Yesterday I went to a meeting downtown and walked past an office belonging to "Chuck Morris". I pointed it out to my boss and he didn't get why it was funny. this man is an honest to goodness Walker, Texas Ranger fan and he didn't find it amusing that the guy was named Chuck Morris.

To celebrate the occasion, we need Walker, Texas Ranger Clips from Conan.

P.S. There was also a cubicle for a person named Pinky Heirs.

Quote of the Day

All the kids are doing it

I decided when ever I get upset I'm going to yell "Sweet berry princess!" It works, trust me. You should try it.

Fashionably Pregnant

I knew there was a reason I was not married yet. God knows me so well. He knew I needed the assurance of fashionable maternity clothes before I could even consider it.
Showing? It's Time to Show Off

Is this thing on?

Sorry, I have not been able to log on forf two days.

Alright, alright, I'll update my blog

I know I have not updated in awhile but it is difficult when I do not have Internet access at home. The only time I have Internet access during the day is at work. (Shhhhh, don't tell my boss I'm blogging at work).

In other news, I rule at html. I could not figure out why all the text on my blog was suddenly centered. I thought it was the new program I use to post blogs. It turns out it was bad html in the Snatch quiz I posted. I didn’t even think to check it until last night.

So what has happened in my life since I last posted?

Things have really quieted down since the health conference is over. From the stand point of the attendees, board members and speakers, things went smoothly. From my stand point, not so smoothly. I had to deal with
- a stage that was two feet higher than it was supposed to be
- catering crew that never brought things out on time
- site coordinator that was not on-site
- set up crew who lost their schedule so missed a stage change
Really the worse thing that happened in the day is that some people had to wait a couple minutes for their lunch. Also we had to take an extra break due to the stage set up not being complete. I’m just glad it is done.

I mostly have been unpacking boxes and boxes and boxes at home. When I am not unpacking boxes I am either sleeping or at work. I am rather proud of myself that I sort through all of my school stuff last week (which is a monumental task). Last night I finished organizing my kitchen. Tonight I’ll be able to finish organizing my bedroom.

Lots more to catch up on later. Next up: Birthday road trips!
