Invisible Cream. It worked for me....it might just work for you

Good morning to everyone. I know I'm not writing this until the afternoon. But it's such a pleasant greeting I wanted to start with it. This morning my regular customer, Ang, came in. She's always so grumpy and it's fun to serve her. She's not a morning person, nor am I, however it doesn't matter what time of the day it is if I have someone to talk to I will. I think she finds my cheeriness first thing in the morning annoying. Yet I can't help but talk her ear off every morning. It can't be that bad, I guess, she keeps coming back.
Today I discovered that I'm an incredible inventor. That's right people. I'm going to be rich and famous. I discovered invisible cream. I must have had it smothered on because it didn't matter how much I repeated and how much I raised my voice the people still couldn't hear me or see me. It was awesome!! I nearly stuck my tongue out at them or spun in circles. But I didn't want to risk the invisible cream coming off. Then they would see me again. I have to figure out what I did today to make this stuff so strong. It seemed that most of my tables weren't able to correspond with me. However, there were a few tables that could. Maybe they had some gene that isn't dominated by this cream. hmmm...more research is needed.
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment*
I don't know if I was being selfish. Maybe just a little. But today I was eating a cheeseburger for lunch and my cat...who thinks she's starving, comes up and takes a bite out of it. I chased her down and took that bite back. Just kidding...I let her have that one. But for the rest of the time I battled with her for my stinkin' cheeseburger. Is that selfish or self defence? I swear she thinks she's so deprived but her bowl is still full of food. She's been like this since the day I brought her home. Maybe I'm not selfish...she's just greedy. Oh yes. I like this much more because it puts the blame on her instead of on me. haha. Crazy Cat.!
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment* is over.
Tonight will be a night full of fun and laughter. Oh that's right..you guessed it. It's Wednesday....Youth Group Night. That just means that tomorrow I'm going to have funny stories to tell. In fact...yesterday my mom came to town and we went to Canadian Tire. When we were there one of the youth from the youth group was working. He was in the Customer Service part and I went up to him. He was holding a broken picture. So I said to him. I want that picture. The girls beside him didn't know that I know him so they were giving me really weird, almost dirty, looks. He just looked at me and played along. No ma'am you can't have this one...it's broken. I said but I want it. Then he looked over my shoulder and saw my mom walking over. I said, this is my mom. He just smiled and they both looked at eachother and realized that he had helped her out earlier in the day. haha. It was so much fun. He said that she was really nice and one of the nicest customers he's ever had.(A little brown on the nose). That is when I proceeded to laugh like a crazy person and threw my head back and said...we have fooled them all. (My mom joined in so we really looked like crazy people.) I said I would see him at youth tomorrow night(which is tonight for those of you who can't keep up) and then we left the store. We went to Humpty's for dinner. Yum. I had bbq chicken. So good. Mom had baby cow. Other known as veal. Baby cow killer. She said it was good. I apparently didn't get that gene. I came home and as boring as I am...I downloaded some songs. One of them included the cheeseburger song from Veggie Tales. Wicked song. I recommend everyone to groove out to this song. It rocks. haha. It just reminded me of the good ol' bible college days when Daryl sang it to me in the back of Casey's car. The four of us(Casey, Janice, Daryl and I) were all singing every song that came on the stereo at the top of our lungs. Great times. Ok...that was a short trip down memory lane and you didn't even have to pay. Well...until next time. Peace Out. -

This is probably going to be a really short blog. Especially since it comes right after such a long one. (Which I noticed nobody commented on). Ok..I'm done my Dawn moment. haha..just kidding Dawn. When I was writing that blog I had to go and take an hour long nap. So maybe just reading it you had to take a day nap...sit and ponder and write down your thoughts so that you would all have something intellegent to say in the comment part of my blog. Yes, this must be the reason no one has commented on my blog. It's not that I don't have fans. It's that my fans are intellectual. Woo hoo!!!! Yes, I have the smartest fans EVER! And you can mark that on my score sheet.
So what's new with all of you? You want to know about me? Wow, thanks for asking. Absolutely nothing is new since yesterday. Nope, scratch that. I did learn something today. I learned that the top part of a soup spoon is not the max weight part on a spoon. In fact it is the handle that carries the most weight. That's right..put that one in the bank. I learnt that at work today. As soon as my boss told me that I said...wow now that I learnt something does that mean I can go to sleep?? He just smiled and walked away. I guess that was a no. My boss is always shaking his head at me. Earlier today he said that I needed to get as many napkins folded as I could for the big party tomorrow night. I was like, there's a big party tomorrow. He just looked at me in disbelief. He said...haven't you looked at the reservations for this week yet? I looked him square in the eyes and said...I am just trying to get through today. I'll get to tomorrow once I get there. haha. He just laughed and said...well tomorrow we have a party for 65. haha. I was like oh...maybe I should go and look. hehehe. (Sheepish laughter).
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment*
(I forgot this in my last blog). This morning I realized that my cat doesn't wake me up until the first time my alarm clock goes off. Really she's trying to help me get up. What a sweet heart. I always thought she was just annoying in the morning. She always bites my toes until I wake up. However...some mornings I want to sleep in. So I have invested in a water bottle that sits right on my night stand. Oh yes...I have used this. I am not ashamed to admit it. I'm actually quite happy with myself. haha.
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment* has ended.

Well...that's about it for now. It was my dad's birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!
Until next time
Floating under the bridge...oops I mean...Peace Out

The Longest Weekend EVER!!!

Hello to all my loyal fans. Sorry it's been two days since my last post. However, if you read the title you likely put the two and two together. That's right, lack of time. I bet if there were 28 hours in every day instead of just 24 hours I would have been able to put a post up. However, since we are lacking the extra 4 hours there was no time.
Where do I start??? How about Saturday. After I was done working I ran home, got myself together and ran out the door to my friends wedding. Man was that a blast and a half. When I got there no one I knew was there yet. So I, the social butterfly, started hanging out with the bride's cousins and uncles and aunts. (I'm friends with the bride). At one point I was standing by myself looking at some photos and Annette's(the bride) uncle came up and introduced me to one of her cousins. He looked so uncomfortable and he was so shy. Let's just say I was doing all the talking for both of us. haha. I told him, you know, you don't have to entertain me. I'm ok on my own. I found out he was only 16. (His dad was actually trying to set us up.) HAHAHA. 16!!!!! I am going to love it when I'm older. I finally went and sat down with some other people I didn't know. I got to know all of them too. The one lady was the hairdresser. What a nice lady. For a wedding gift she did all the girls hair for free. What a nice gift. If I was talented in this area that's what I would do for all my friends. However, since I really only know how to do one hairstyle everyone's wedding albums would look too similar. haha. Finally one of my co-workers showed up. YAY for JAY!!(this is a girl...her name is Jen..but we all call her Jay). Both of our dates ditched us at the last minute.(Jerks...but we won't get into that) So when she got there it was just her and I. We decided we would be eachothers date. We sat at a table meant for 8 because we were told to save a table for everyone from the restaurant. Yeah...none of them showed up until really late. Like after the dance. So during dinner we sat at this huge table by ourselves. haha. We made up names for the imaginary people who were sitting with us. To my left sat Sue and her husband Herald. They own a farm just outside of Brandon. To Heralds left sat Agnus. She's suffers from Alzheimers. She's a friend of Annette's grandma. Then to her left sat Luke and his girlfriend. More like flavor of the week because he didn't know her name and was too embarassed to ask what it was. Then there was Shawn. Shawn was a lot like us. A friend of the bride but no one else he knew was there. That's right people. We were bored. Just sitting and making up people. Later, when Annette was doing her rounds, she stopped and talked to us. We told her what we were doing and I guess she missed the part about them being imaginary. haha. She was like, I don't know any of those people. There are so many people here I don't know who they are. We told her that it's ok if she didn't remember these people because they were made up. She looked a little confused but understood. I think she thinks that we are really weird now. haha.
She told us that people kept asking her who those two girls were sitting in the back of the room by themselves. haha. We must have looked like the biggest losers. Great times. We were going to sit across from eachother so that we would have to yell when we were speaking. I think that would have looked halarious. Instead we just kept on sitting beside eachother.
I was really impressed with Annette's husband. When I saw him at the restaurant he was always so calm and reserved. At the wedding...he was crazy and fun and so social. After he was done eating his dinner he went around the entire room and introduced himself and chatted. (It was entirely her family and friends there. He had one table where he knew everyone. His family lives in Texas and couldn't make it out for the wedding.) After dinner was all cleaned up the speaches started. I especially liked the story of Annette when she was two. (Her husband is black and she is white.) When she was two she had a bus toy that was full of children. There was one black boy and she took a special liking to him. She took him everywhere. The bathtub. The park. Everywhere. He was her best friend. Her sister said that she should have known then that Annette would have chosen an African american man for her husband. It was so funny during the speaches that her intire family kept calling him African American. He was like, I'm black. It's ok to say that. haha. When the dancing started he kept saying...everyone do the African American dance. haha. He was totally mocking them. haha.
During the speeches they kept calling him Clarence. I was like, who is Clarence??? Because he always goes by the name Anthony(which is his last name). Then they really started confusing me when his brother came up and started talking about Jerome. I was like who's that???? Again another name he goes by(his family calls him Jerome). By the end of the night I didn't know his name anymore. haha. I was like, hey you. haha. It was so sweet after the speeches were done Annette's dad called her out onto the dance floor and made her sit on a chair. He had written her and Clarence/Jerome/Anthony a song. If you know Annette she never cries. During the wedding she only cried 3 times in total. Once when her sister was giving a speech, a second time when her sister was giving her a pep talk outside and a third time when her dad sang this song. I think everyone was crying. (I know I was...but I concealed it so that no one would know my mortal status). Clarence/Jerome/Anthony(a.k.a CJA) was out on the dance floor the whole night teaching everyone dances to all his favorite songs. It was so funny. What a great guy. After the wedding was over I went home and crashed. What a long day. I didn't get home until 1am.
Now that brings us to Sunday. Yesterday. I first went to the morning service. After the service was over we(my friends Jodi and Justin) went out for lunch. We went to a place called Gullivers. Yum. I had a Hawaiian salad. It was great. Justin works for the cable internet company. I asked him if he ever gets really stupid questions. He said that he did all the time. He said that all the jokes that are made(like having to tell people to plug in their computers before it will work) are true. He told us this one really funny story that these people had a theory that they couldn't have their internet plugged in while their fridge was plugged in. He said it was so funny because before they would plug in their computer they would unplug the fridge. This was because across the street there was construction going on and they were using up all the power supply. ha. Where do people get this stuff.
Jodi, is a school teacher and has a million funny stories to tell. I told her that she needs to start her own blog or at least write her stories down. So I will not say her stories in case she starts her blog then we can all read them together.
After lunch I went to the drama practice for the Christmas play. It was so funny. I think they all try to make me laugh. Once I start I can't seem to stop. We did that for 4 and a half hours. When we were doing the nativity scene the guy playing my husband and the girl playing my daughter were both making the doll(who was playing the baby in the manger) dance to the songs the choir was singing. There was at one point where I wasn't really paying attention to what was around me and I elbowed the doll in the head. Everyone in the drama laughed at me and said I wouldn't make a very good mom. haha. I was relieved that it was just the doll.
After the drama practice we had young adults. But first we had a little bible study with the choir. I was lying down on a pew listening. I wasn't asleep but I snored a couple of times. hahahahaha. My friends were like, Michelle wake up. I was like, what???I'm praying I'm not sleeping. I was like, oops I was just really relaxed. I've never done that before. Snore? When you're awake???? Wierd. For young adults last night it was setting up the tree that the choir stands in. Man that's a lot of work. But it was a lot of fun at the same time.
The senior pastor was my partner for putting up the green stuff on the tree. It was so funny. He kept showing me the easy way of doing the job..but I couldn't figure out the tool so I kept doing it the hard way. I asked him...isn't there a parable about this? He just laughed at me. He's a really little guy and he makes fun of his size all the time. During the sermon yesterday(during the morning service) he said, you probably look at me like, what is that little man doing up there...but now with this huge tree behind me(and he looked behind him and got mad at the tree for being so big) I look ten times smaller. hahahaha. He's so funny.
He reminds me of Bill Marcum. You know...really passionate but always going off on a tangent. haha.
After we set up the tree a few of us went to Mc Donalds for a bit of a social time. We were all girls so of course the subject of boys came up. It was funny. We all talked about what we look for in a guy and all that stuff. I had a really good time. After all that I came home and went to bed. It felt like that weekend was 48 hours long. (haha...I just wanted to see if you were paying attention). Seriously though I'm kind of glad it's over.
Until the next funny story emerges.
Peace Out
Michelle

Death in the Family

Hey there. It is my obligation to the world to let you all know that there has been a death in the night. One of my very own family members is gone. (This kind of sounds like the game we play at youth group called Mafia...except this time it is real). Before my sister starts freaking out I will tell you who it is that is no longer with us. We shall miss this dear friend for he brought only smiles to all our faces. Jordaghn is no longer here. But we will one day see him again. He's gone to a better place. My cat is going nuts though cause it was her best friend. Jordaghn for those who don't know is my chinchilla. I don't know if he died from natural causes or what. When I went to go and take him out of his cage that's when I started to cry. His wheel was flipped over and his head was wedged between the metal pieces. (I'm sorry if this is too graphic for some). I was horrified and started to ball/cry. I was sad for losing him...but he was old so I knew it was coming soon...but like that??? Gross.
If you haven't noticed the comment thing is now open to those who don't have their own blogs. This was brought to my attention by an anonymous fan(a.k.a my dad). I told my dad that he should just start up his own blog and it could be about the weather in all parts of the world. He proceeded to tell me that after nightfall it will be dark. haha. And you wonder why I am the way I am??? haha. So now, all those anonymous people...you too can leave a message after the beep. I mean..you too can leave a comment on my blog.
I'm trying to come up with things to tell...but it's hard to find funny stories on the fly. Mostly because fly season is over.
*What's Funny at 2AM Moment*
Everything. Especially when you have a blast with your roommate. I'm going to go back in history for a minute and tell a funny story about Bible College days. You might have noticed my friend Michelle write a comment on here. haha. I'm surprised, to say the least, that she still will associate with me. haha. I remember when she would go to bed really early for whatever reason, my roommate and I would make her our target. That's right. We liked to play practical jokes on her. (We thought it was funny). Michelle(not me) would be asleep in her bed(and I don't know how she managed it but she had her own room). So we would creep into her room and climb to the top bunk. That's where we would hide until our giggles would wake her up. haha. So much fun. We didn't do this just once. Oh no. We did it many times. Poor girl...she just wanted some extra sleep. haha. Why did they allow us to have sugar if they weren't willing to reap the consequences? They brought it on themselves. haha. Poor Michelle was usually our target because we knew she could handle it. One night we snuck out and papershut her door. So when she opened it all she saw was coloured paper. Haha. This was so much fun. We made sure that the paper at about eye level had a message on it. Do you know who she accused first? That's right. She knew it was Lorraine and I. haha. So much fun living in a dorm.
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment*
The Toe Muncher. That's my new nickname for her. She's crazy. She likes to chew on my toes first thing in the morning. EVERY morning. For those who know me well, know that I hate getting up early in the morning. It drives me insane. And it tickles. Oh I tell you...they should inlist my cat for the army and use her for times of interigation. YOU TELL US WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW OR THIS HERE CAT WILL MUNCH ON YOUR TOES. I bet they wouldn't last long. Crazy cat.
There was something else I was going to say...but I can't remember. I kept that thought in my left foot...and when my crazy cat munched on my toes she took the thought with her.
Until next time. Peace Out.

Introduction to the *Crazy Cat Lady Moment*

Hello to all my one fan. haha. I am going to try this yet again. I got cut off half way through telling a story yesterday because, well, I'm new. I wasn't born yesterday mind you...but maybe the day before.
I have made a decision that I will not become the crazy cat lady. However, I am crazy and I do have a cat. But that doesn't define who I am. haha.
Today was kind of a sad day at work. I have lost yet another friend to marriage. Today was her last day at work. I'll still see her at her wedding on Saturday. But after that she will become a friend who I have to correspond with over the internet. That's right...she's going to become like you guys/gals. It's like an abyss. It just swallows up my friends but still lets me communicate with them through a communication device(aka my computer).
After popular demand(haha) I'm going to finish the story of the lunch guys. It was actually dinner guys...but whatever. After they found out my age they quickly switched gears and started calling me names such as old goat. Old hag. One guy even asked me out. Can you believe that. He's like, now that I know I wouldn't go to jail, will you go out with me. My response...laugh it off. Oh yeah. Crazy man. He must have had a double. (double vision). haha. So yeah...that's about the end of that story. They were a lot of fun to serve. They had me laughing almost the whole time.
I went to youth group last night. Talk about a riot. Seriously there were protesters there with their signs and the cops showed up with tear gas. haha. Just kidding. But it was a lot of fun. We went to a place called Ruckers. Kind of like your Scandia or Malibu in Kelowna. Or if you don't know what that is you need to get out more. Just kidding. It's an arcade kind of place. The youth had so much fun. It's senior high youth right...so to act like a kid in front of their friends..haha...funny. F-U-N-N-Y!! They want to act mature but it's irresistable to fight the temptation of acting childish. haha. They all caved. It was a blast. My friend Lori and I tried the Dance Revolution game. So stinkin hard. I think I want to buy an X-box or PS2 just so I can buy that game and try it at home. Such a great workout and fun. FUN???? Work out? FUN???? Can these words go together??? YES THEY CAN!!!
Ok, I just like typing in capital letters. If you haven't tried this game I recommend that you must.
After Lori and I got off(because I wasn't very good...plus the one arrow wasn't working so I really sucked) two guys who weren't with our group got on. Holy stink....they rocked!!! I asked them how they got so good and they told me that every lunch hour at school they came and practiced. They were amazing. Apparently there are compitions for it. Who knew???? Maybe I'll show up one day and crash their practice. haha. I'll be their little groupie. Their fan club.
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment*(this is the moment where I get to talk about my cat)
She is so cute. (My cat of course) When I first walk in the door she wakes up, stretches, walks towards me and starts meowing until I start talking. I always say...just give me a moment to take off my jacket. Then I proceed to pick her up and snuggle. Ok, this really does happen everyday. She is so use to this routine that sometimes before I pick her up she goes limp cause she knows I'm going to snuggle her. haha. She is even purring before I pick her up most times. After a few minutes of snuggles she runs off with something of mine. Crazy cat. (This doesn't always happen.) Anyways, today a few minutes wasn't enough. After she ran away for a few minutes and played with the blinds like a bad cat would, she came over, jumped up and hugged me while proceeding to fall asleep. How cute. *Crazy Cat Lady Moment* time is up!
I think this is a long blog....so I will stop my talking for now. Until next time. Peace Out!

It has Begun

Hello. This is the beginning of my blog. I was introduced to this by my sister. She also has a blog. I am her number one fan. In order to comment on her blog I must have one myself....kind of dumb rules to whoever makes them up. I don't really know what to say. I'd rather read someone's blog then try and make up my own.
I could tell a lame joke but that would be stupid. I can talk about my cat...but who wants to read about that. Although today she did do something funny. I had poured myself a glass of milk. Yep that's the end of the story. Just kidding. I just forgot what I was going to say so I tried to cover it up with some humour...but now that my thought is back I'll finish my story. I poured myself a glass of milk and put it down beside me. The next thing I knew I had a little black face trasformed to white. That's right she started drinking MY milk. Not only that but she had her face pretty much right in it. Talk about diving in. When I shooed her away she just came back for more. Crazy cat. Not only that but she started pulling the glass back towards her. With her little paw. Who knew she had that much strength.
Ok, here comes a rare moment. A girl....no a woman is going to reveal her age. Now get out your camera's. Get out your pens to mark down this historical moment. I am 25. The reason I'm telling you this is because it is important to know for the understanding of my next story. Last night, at work, I was serving two gentleman(are you with me so far?). The first one asked for a drink and I said ok. The second also asked for a drink but proceeded to ask me who was going to bring them out for them. I said, what do you mean? His response was, well, you're not old enough to serve them to us. I said, Oh yes I am. Ok #1 I am 25 years old. Legal in all countries of the world. #2 I'm 25. #3 Legal drinking age in the province that I live in is 18. 18.
