Gongragulations Dribble! I'm glad you got your proge before clamhed buggers off out west.

So half ass weekend report:

Had to stay late on Friday because of a breakdown of one of the printing presses. At 5pm I run back to my apartment, get the cat (who had been staying with me for the previous month) and off I go to St. Catharines.

On the way home I call my parents. My father tells me that my mother is in Ontario (surprize!!) with my cousin and I should call her. So I call her, oh, I should stop by and see her.

It is obvious she has not looked at a map because Barrie (where she's at) is no where near on route between Owen Sound and St. Catharines. Plus I have a cat in the car with me.

Oh, can you take Monday off? It's almost 7pm Friday night, no I can't fucking take monday off.

So I get home at almost 9pm, pissed at my Mother for not letting me plan anything. Life goes on.

Satruday I plant my seedlings in the veggie garden. Sunday we climb. I drive back to Owen Sound Monday morning (3 hour drive) and go directly to work.

As soon as 3:30 hits I leave work and drive to Barrie to see my mother (2 hour drive). My cousin is moving back to NS from Ontario, is 6 months preggers and my mother came with her to clean up my cousin's place and move the last of the stuff to NS.

So I get there and first thing I was asked to do was take the garbage to the curb. Okay....but there's at least 15 bags of garbage. And they're heavy (wtf is in these things) and I got dripped on, twice! I was totally disgusted, but if I didn't do it either my overweight 62 year mother would, or my 6 month pregnant cousin would....and that just wouldn't do.

We then went to a baby store with my cousin, and my mother made the first nudge nudge, wink wink hint that I should have kids that she's ever given me. After hanging with my cousin for 3 days she's baby crazy!

And then we went for thai food, and then went to bed way too late. Did the 2 hour drive in reverse and got back to work this morning. Exhausted. Easting schecdule is all messed up. I'll need to go to bed early tonight.

Gongratulations again!

I missed seeing the raft-flipping failz. But I have no doubt is was a lot of fun attempting it with N. He sure is good for that kind of thing.

On the way back, we stopped at a rest area, and there was this really pretty bush that I have never seen before, anywhere, ever. I said something about it, and N. was immediately like, you want a cutting of it? It would have never occurred to me, but he climbed up the retaining wall, and jumped back with a little branch in hand. Got weird looks from people, but hey, score! If it roots, it would be awesome.

The AC has been out on my Taco for the last year. Turns out it just needed a recharge, $120 fix. I was all scared it was going to be something cost-prohibitive for a 212k vehicle.

gardening tawk!

So PG and I got a community garden plot. The damn things are 13' by 45', and ours is over-run with a rather tenacious and quick growing grass.

I get to spend the next several days removing the grass and dandelions before we till it. And then, planting.

yay, multidimensionality!
