I could be studying. Or reading. Or sleeping.

I love

first days of school
throat spray
pro-activ oil free moisturizer
MALL OF AMERICA
brand new king size beds
90210: old and new
pumpkin pie or cheesecake
lululemon headbands that actually fit my noggin
people when they are kind
raisin bread and cheese slices

I miss
crushes and butterflies and general excitement
summer holidays (darn school)
my family and friends who don’t live in thunder bay
real slurpees from 7eleven
the olympics
being young and carefree

I will keep
on truckin’
writing to keep me sane
commenting on random stranger blogs
counting the days until my next vacation
going to school even though i might hate it already
the cats..what was i thinking?

not dead. just on vacation and relying on dial-up and stolen/wireless/fair-to-poor connections.

currently, i am in red deer, alberta a good 2200km from home.

i would like to know why all my new posts have disappeared.

i went to bed last night and they were there….and now they are all gone.

completely vanished.

what the hell?

…but i guess i should go to work.

…I’ve decided that this will be a ongoing post that I will keep adding to because I’m bored (obviously), lonely and disappointed I didn’t plan anything “good” for May Long.

1. I went to subway as Friday is Tuna Day. I always get my delicious sub on untoasted wheat, with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, extra cucumbers, pickles and honey mustard. I read that tuna will make me infertile because of the mercury; let’s hope not. I do limit my tuna intake to superdeal fridays just in case. Perhaps my chosen dinner isn’t as boring as the fact I look forward to my Fridays at Subway all week.

2. I was totally rocking out to “You Really Got Me” on the drive home from work tonight. This was the inspiration in googling Elvis Stoijko and trying to find his performance to that song on Youtube/anywhere. I was a huge figure skating fan in the late 90s. Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler were my absolute faves. I named goldfish after them. Speaking of “You Really Got Me”, that song is my evil nemesis in Guitar Hero II. It blocks me from moving up to hard.

3. I have commented all over cyberspace this evening. i actually used “your superfan laura-anne.”

4. Kevin is away fishing for the weekend. (Have fun in the rain, goof) We did not leave on good terms but if we break up, at least i have a halfassed limerick:

There once was a girl who was fat
She lived with a kid and a cat
She met a nice guy
But it did not fly
and that was the end of that.

5. I am working on the template. The archives are working. The new header is coming along quite nicely. Posts are edited/added/deleted. I do this while singing, “i’m bringing blogging back…and all those ****** don’t know how to act.”

6. I’m playing Lost Via Domus again. I have reached a plateau in Tetris Evolution and Rock Band so I decided I would go back and get the few achievements I missed the first time around. I’m a little ocd about unfinished achievements. Note the gamer score.

7. OMG. OMG. OMG. I used to always read the kinky librarian and live through her adventures since I am not like her…at all. I remember once when she wrote about Brian….crap, that sounded really bad. One day, she was gone and then today, I found Librarian Babe. She’s back. Hooray. Granted she has been back for awhile and I didn’t know, but I am still pumped and reading her archives on my Saturday night. (At least, i’m not reading my own archives.)

I am always on the lookout for blogs to read since so many people seemed to have stopped blogging/vanished off the face of the…internet. Any recommendations? I like people who write about parenting..but not too much or too perfectly, because then I feel bad about myself. Other than that, anyone who is interesting in some way; i’m not picky. Bonus points are given for being open about life’s challenges and living in greater Thunder Bay.

…but no yarn. I do not do knitting blogs.

8. unconscious muttering a mere five hours after it was posted. it’s almost like i was waiting for it.

Concentration :: game which sucks
Relocated :: move.
Clot :: blood
Joints :: drugs
Satellite :: vu!
Money back :: refund
Kittens :: OMG I LOVE KITTENS!!!!!!!!!
Shady :: slim
Drain :: o…as in draino.
Stroke :: sad

I find it amazing i always think of drugs. I’ve never done drugs in my life. Let’s blame it on tv.

9. the most costly example of too much time to kill this weekend
Parker loves legos. Unfortunately, we lack “lego guys.” For each set you buy, you usually only get a few lego figures. WE NEED MORE. After searching on the net for the best deal, I finally found these bad boys. They should be ours by the end of the week. I am almost embarrassed to say how much they cost ($45) or that I will have to drive an hour and then cross the border into America to pick them up. More pictures to follow because nothing is more exciting than having thirty mini-lego guys to put inside my lego masterpieces. I might just be more excited than the parker. Like really, do you see the policeman on the atv?

I was just doing my chores when “You’re Still the One” came on galaxie 90s* and inspired me to drop what i was doing and…blog.

…because that’s important.

Mother’s Day was yesterday. I wish everyday was mother’s day. Kevin made me breakfast and played rock band with me until the Parker came home. I literally have to beg people to play rock band with me which is very sad. Parker and I hung out and we played outside. We all went to dinner with my grandma. My brother in Alberta called to say happy mother’s day. As for gifts, i got a new stereo for my mini-van which plays cds AND stuff off my ipod. It’s very exciting because I have been driving around in silence since October when my cd changer blew up. We will see how it works though; I can’t even work my ipod.

On Thursday, I attended Parker’s Mother’s Day Tea where I cried like a baby because I have severe emotional problems. Seriously though, they read “I love you forever”, they sang songs and I received a whole bag full of school-made presents. I surprised my grandma by picking her up and forcing her to attend. When I told her about it, she said, “WHAT!?! A tea for Mother’s Day? They NEVER had things like that when my kids were in school?”

I am going to upload the videos to flickr…did you know you can upload videos now? Cool beans.

*galaxie 90s is my music of choice when having a cleaning day.

1. Track :: marks
2. Snake :: webkinz
3. Assignment :: due
4. Blockbuster :: video
5. Bombastic :: shaggy
6. Adventure :: out
7. First time :: virgin
8. Aged :: old
9. Grip :: key
10. Shortcut:: lazy

I am healthy.
I am officially a soccer mom.
Mother’s Day was awesome.
The blog looks better.
Life is good.

sweet bob saget
I’m dying. You may wonder what this has to do with Bob Saget, but bear with me.

…Okay, I’m not really dying but I have been sick for a few days with some sort of “don’t know what end it’s coming out so i will sit on the toilet with a bucket” virus. I have not eaten in two days which is incredibly crazy for a big girl who loves her food. My toilet smells like lavender because I like it better than lemons. Kevin is out of town for work so I have bombarded him with msn messages and ‘expensive because he’s roaming’ cell phone calls where I simply repeat, “I’m so sick” over and over again. That is why he loves me. He actually told me he is counting his blessings that he is not home right now. Thanks, Kev. You’re cut off forever.

In my time away from the bathroom, I have been resting in bed/trying not to puke all over my laptop, and reading my archives. Damn it, I think I’m talented. While some of my entries are genuine crap; others are pretty damn funny. Even some of my angst is well-written. Good for me. *honks own horn, trucker style*

I know I am not going to set the blogging world afire with stories of my gastro-intestinal illness. I am not as gifted/famous as Dooce or nearly as hot/crazy/exciting as raymi the minx. Sadly I will never be able to quit my jobs and support the family as a professional blogger but i think my blog is great. I missed writing and I love being able to take sentimental journeys back in time via the archives. If anything, i definitely have some incentive to write more than once a year.

However, I might just be a pulling a Bob Saget (you know, circa 1990 when he would constantly laugh at his own jokes on America’s Funniest Home Videos) and you may be thinking I am another person spewing out crap. Speaking of Bob Saget, Full House was one of my favourite shows. I remember watching it in syndication at 530pm every day. I even watched it before going to a high school grad dinner/dance. That Stephanie Tanner was hilair! Those Olson twins were darlings. And Uncle Jesse…HAVE MERRRCY!

Clearly, Gravol only enhances the awesomeness. Gastrobugs to Full House….it all makes sense to me.

…unfortunately, i started writing in April 2003.

1. as everyone knows, but nobody mentions sarah recently moved away. this obviously has affected my life drastically as my platonic life partner is now on the other side of the world. (well not really, but it might as well be.) i do have other friends but it’s not the same. before we left, i was talking about perhaps not being ready for mini-breaks and sarah said something about “when we were dating, we took day-trips all the time” which is hilarious because it’s true. we are the whiter, fatter, and more socially challenged version of oprah/gayle and could just be “a tiny bit gay.” i am going to bc one day so that will be neat..and thank god for the internet but still…ouch.

2. my ex, the cherry popsicle, is getting married in the very near future. this brings out a bunch of emotions that no one else understands mostly surrounding parker. luckily, the ex has been quite the prick lately and we have been arguing like crazy so that is making things easier. it’s not because i want to be with him; it’s something totally different..something that i don’t want to talk about.

3. i guess i am seeing someone kinda or whatever people call it these days. that’s new and neat and stuff. i should have said something sooner since i hate lying to the internet so there, now you know. the end. (wow, i don’t think that paragraph could have been any more awkward but..that’s me.)
