tipsy

It's been fairly stressful at work so I have given in and resorted to drinking. I am on the third cocktail and feeling MUCH BETTER. Cranberry, Dr. Pepper & Vodka works - just an FYI. I am an uber-grump right now and ARGH! etc. Really, get the hell out of my way. It's better for everyone.

On a happier note, hmmm. Yeah, f-that. Happier shmappier. That's crap for those positive thinkers. Shove it. That's what I say.

A week later

So, it's been a whole week now and everything is back to normal - stressful at work, not much to watch on T.V., too much Bloons Tower Defense, avoiding dishes, etc. - and I miss the excitement. The good thing about work is that by Sunday morning I can barely remember my week so all the pain & suffering is forgotten, or at least buried deep. By 9:00 Monday morning I was in a furious rage so it was a rough start. But, since I don't want to live on the street I have to suck it up. Other highlights this week included almost driving into a pole and almost swerving into another car (don't tell my Mom). But, I survived it all and am hoping this week will be a little more relaxed.

Anyways, yesterday I face-painted in the afternoon and other than a crap load of butterflies I also got to paint crocodile, wolf, jaguar, cheetah, lion, tiger, zebra faces. It was really fun. I guess today I should clean and do dishes and stuff, but will I?

Thursday in Vancouver

People were lined up for the mini-Mint for 2+ hours! Apparently you could view the actual Olympic medals there, but really! They could just go to Winnipeg to see it all...


The best window display ever - glam hockey with high heels and a metal screen veil!

Igloo version of Pacific Centre. I hope they keep it this way!



Video presentation at the Four Nations pavilion. It was essentially in a mini-Planetarium, and I got a little teary. I can't help it.


Yay! Manitoba! I got a squishy polar bear too.

The Canada pavilion was overrun with fans of Quatchi. But before that I got to pose with an official Team Canada bobsled!

I got my butt kicked in the snowboard slalom, but maybe with a bit of practice I can make it into the next Olympics. Though, likely not.
Granville street was full of sculptures and art displays. It was awesome!
