The Crazee Chick's View of Life

It's official.  I have crossed the line from 'this' side of crazee to 'that' side.   My life is so hectic that I now understand expressions like: 1. I'm pulling my hair out.     ~when you get stressed out there really is that moment when you fling your hands up to your head in frustration and the only logical thing for your hands to do while they're up there is to pull at whatever they can find which, co-incidentally, is your hair. B.  I'm so far behind I think I'm first      ~I don't even have the time to tell you how far behind I am.  Kiki's birthday is tomorrow and I don't have a present for her, no food for the party, no goodie bag stuff, etc.  My house is a complete disaster with clothes strewn all over, clutter on every flat surface, dust....the list goes on and on.  It's embarassing! iii. Stop the world and let me off      ~If I could just STOP everything for a while then I could get caught up. c. I'm losing my

Yes, the PNE is over. Yes, Summer is over. Yes, I am tardy in getting my posts out. Deal. Here are some pix of our day at the PNE. We had a great time and lots of laughs at Zee's expense. He's such a drama queen! That's us on Crazy Beach Party.  I didn't ride as much as I used to--am getting old; tummy doesn't like; makes brain spinny.   Don't need more of that. Zee and me on the Tilt a Whirl.  His favorite ride.  I swear the guy running the thing fell asleep (or was stoned out of his tree) because he left us on for over 10 minutes.  Thought I was going to puke!  Even Zee was bored by the end of the ride. Okay, how funny is this?  Zee is terrified of heights but he decided to try the mini hellevator anyway.  Oh my gosh, the look of terror on his face and his screams had us literally peeing our pants.  So funny!! Artsy fartsy shot.  Kiki on the swings. Squished much?  Love this one--Kiki looks mildly annoyed and Zee looks l

The other day I was driving around some people and my Mormon radar went off. Certain things they said and did; the way they talked about family; and their clean language made me think, "Hey, I think these guys are Mormons." Rather than ask, I decided to take a little detour and drive them past the temple. As we approached the lady was deep in conversation and when she saw the temple she interrupted herself with a "Holy _________ that`s a big CHURCH!" Nope, not Mormon.

...with the stars up above in your eyes... What an amazing night we had for my company boat cruise! Fantabulous! We started out from Coal Harbor, cruised the Georgia Straight to West Van, then English Bay and finally around False Creek.   I've never seen many of these places from the water so it was an interesting, and gorgeous, perspective! The Georgia Straight The weather was beautiful!  We couldn't have asked for more.  A beautiful night, beautiful weather, a boat, food and dancing...what a marvelous night for a moondance... ...too bad Hubby can't bust a move.  But he's cute so I'll cut him some slack. All aboard! We laughed all night long! Doing the 'Titanic' with Teresa.  Beautiful English Bay Flying the flag Beneath the Lions Gate Bridge Burrard Street Bridge (background) and Granville Street Bridge in the foreground BC Place with the new retractable roof:  looks like a crown now.  

There have been bear sightings around our fair city lately and it's got people in a bit of a tizzy. It's a little disconcerting when you hear a rapping at your door and when you go to answer it you discover a black bear on your patio swiping away at your door and window.  Add to that the scene of a conservation officer crossing your yard with a rifle in his hand and you've got yourself quite the scenario.  This actually happened to my friend who now has a bear trap filled with sardines, banana oil and other luxury items sitting across the street from her home. Empty. That bear is just too smart and is not coming back. Maybe if it was packed with chocolate...oh no, I digress, that kind of trap would catch ME! So anyway this episode got me to thinking of my childhood when I lived in a little port town 150 km inland from the Pacific Ocean (and if you think that sounds like something straight out of a travel brochure then you're very perceptive because it is!!) call

Being that Zee is the third child that automatically makes him the odd one (because 3 is an odd number for those of you who haven't had your morning cuppa cuppa). He's also the only boy in the family. Odd again. But he's also just plain odd. Case in point: Yesterday on the playground he meets up with a friend that he hasn't talked to in quite a while, and one that I am encouraging him to become friends with because they are both sensitive, kinda shy, and tender hearted kids, and they start to play together and talk. The conversation is not one of 'hey, how was your summer?', nor was it 'what's your favorite TV show?', nor 'did you see Cars 2 over the summer?'  No. This is what Zee asks him... "Hi, R, how's your diabetes going?"  *groan* Someone's going to need some lessons in how to be a kid...
