The Daisy Field

People have been asking if I am stressed out...and I am not surprisingly. People have also been asking what is left to do and what we could use help with. So here is the list of things I still need to do: Get the dress altered (Rachel thinks she has someone) Find the broach for the dress Find the amazing hairpiece or cute little black hat with little black veil Find more money LOL Figure out how and where to get my hair done Figure out how and where to get my nails and makeup done Meet with Raya about the food Do up a list of photographs for Kirsten Find out how and where to get all my underclothes, before I do the dress Figure out what to do now regarding the honeymoon Start packing up the house! Find someone with a pick up that will help us do a dump/recycling run so we can pack up the house and have a place to put boxes! Kiss my honey! Get the ball rolling on counselling! Chris is working on the ring, the su...

Having a great week so far....and I think its going to be a great year coming up! I am feeling surprisingly upbeat about being closer to 40 than 30... I had a great date with Chris on the weekend for my birthday and then family lunch with the immediate family at Cambie noodle. We dropped my Dad off at the airport and went over to grandma's house for a visit and Mom and Brian and I ended up staying for dinner. I think i might be allergic to my grandma's house...or maybe the blooming plant in the corner...or possibly the chinese food she orders. This is the second time i have had a very severe allergic reaction after being at her house. Someone remind me to ask her what the plant in the corner is. My eyes have been swollen up for 3 days now, and are very dry and even cracking at bit...the swolleness in my face thankfully as gone down and its just my eyelids now. Don't tell Grandma im allergic to her house though....it might make her upset! Rachel and Scott are ...

So after crying at the movie theater like a retard during the movie trailer for My Sisters Keeper....i decide why not read the book! So once again i look like a retarded mush face as i cried on the bus...at least the end of the book came while i was at home...cuz let me tell you i was full on crying out loud by the end of the book! I am kind of glad i know what happens....might make me less of a retard when i go see the movie. Oh yeah...im going to watch the movie too! Hope all is well with everyone....58 days till the wedding AAAAHHHH!!!!

Just wanted to say a VERY VERY VERY Happy Mothers day not only to my amazing mother and my new soon to be mother in law; but also all my mommy friends. The work you do is tireless, thankless, selfless, exhausting and i hope some days incredibly rewarding. GO MOMS!!!! Here is a new mom song you really must check out! Very funny. The only phrase i did not hear in the song that i remember hearing lots...was DONT MAKE ME PULL THIS CAR OVER. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

Okay so there i was, surrounded by people crying like a retard... thankfully it was not an insurance commercial or anything like that, but a movie trailer....yes a movie trailer! Not just lump in your throat, tears threatening, but yup big tears roll down your face kind of crying. Luckily it was dark and only Chris noticed. Well probably until he said incredulously (sp?) "are you crying?". Okay so there it is, im a giant mush ball...wanna make something of it? here is the trailer...tell me it doesnt make you cry...

did i get your attention.... I got pooped on yesterday by a bird on the way to the Army and Navy Shoe Sale...right on my left boob! GROSS I had to get someone to check and make sure i didnt get it in my hair. So they say that this is good luck. But really where did this come from...why is a bird pooping on you a good luck sign? I tried to google it, and really i could only find the same questions and no answers. Then i started to look for urban legends about bird poop and ran across this one that made me laugh out loud! BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE! Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbal...

As i worked into the wee hours on a camp skills day for my brownies (and im not even on the planning committee!!) and contemplate my upcoming change to the Vancouver Area Program Advisor for GG of C, i started thinking about the other people in my life who currently volunteer and have done excellent volunteer work both here and in other countries. I am proud to say that I am a part of such and amazing community and have friends who love people, they dont know, enough to want to help in whatever way they can. I challenge you to get out and volunteer...if not on a long term basis, then on a short term mission or even a vounteer day at a soup kitchen. Not only do you provide help to the other volunteers, but you help provide services for people who can not afford. Your generosity and love makes a bigger difference than you can even imagine! There are volunteer positions available for every talent imaginable, don't go out and do something for the sake of doing it, pick something you wo...
