HIKE!!!!!

OMG, I hiked today!!! Yippie!!! Yay!!!!! After 16 weeks of not hiking due to first cold and then stupid broken toe it felt amazing to get out there. Thought I was going to have a heart attack and probably took an extra 20 minutes (normally takes a little less than an hour) but I did it. Toe doesn't even feel horribly bad. I'm soooo happy. Didn't even mind the bit of rain and at the end of my hike God parted the clouds and a ray of sunshine landed on me. I said "Thank you Jesus" and Myrna, who had slowed her pace to a slow crawl and stuck by my side said "Jesus?!! You're thanking Jesus?!!! Who was it that stuck by your side? How about thanking me?!!" Opps......ok....sorry Jesus but I will have to give the thanks to Myrna. My faithful friend, Myrna who doesn't mind caring for the handicapped. Sigh. Well, I have a very exciting day planned....doing nothing and then watching Saffie's kid play hockey in Penticton. Look out world, here I come!!!!

UG

Ah, the weekend! A thing to look forward to....the long week is done and two luxurious days lay out in front of me. Gee...it's only 4:05pm and I miss work already. Hummmm. Nothing on the agenda tonight. Ya, that's right, nothing...well nothing you can prove anyway! Will try a hike tomorrow. Don't think the fast girls will wait for me. The fast, skinny girls. Humph. I used to be one of them. Well, maybe not quite as fast but I am the girl that makes them feel good about themselves. Tonight? Tonight I will colour my hair. The grey that is poking out is not me. Grey is for old people. Like my Mom. But not me. Even though my poor old mom is old, she is too young to have an old woman for a daughter. So, you could say that I die my hair for my mom. Anything for my mom!!!

TOE!

Why can everyone break a toe and just go about their business?!!! Why am I the only person in the whole wide world that breaks a toe and needs over 13 weeks to heal (still not healed!!!).
Why does Rupert break a toe, pop it into place and keeps on going?!!! Stupid pirate! Should have voted him and his dumb broken toe off!!! Not that I'm bitter or anything. Humph.

Blog

Mom now writting me asking about Blog and whether I'm going to keep blog up. My response is will write blog only when I have something funny to say, probably something about my Mom's blog! Ok, maybe will include boring stuff as well. Such as Darling Daughter cleaned her room yesterday! Hallelujah!! BF was an encouragement as he helped take DD's bed apart (during which he had us cracked up, making comments about various odd things found in DD's room!). He also removed DD's TV and ugly piece of furniture said TV was standing on. TV absolutely no use to DD as does not have a remote and it would be impossible for DD to actually GET UP and change the channels. I mean, really, OMG, that would be, like, dumb!! Anyway...today we will buy paint and paint DD's room this weekend. A hideous shade of purple I think. Will update.

Happy Birthday Dad and Paul!!!!

Auch! Forgot to wish my Dad HB!!! He is very, very old today so I will not post his age. Also, very personal information. As a matter of fact, forget you read about the whole birthday thing...I don't want to get in trouble. Gee Whiz, this blog stuff gets complicated. Also, ignore the fact that it is also Uncle Pauls birthday....nobodys business really....but, Happy Birthday to anyone who may have a birthday today!!!

Am I a little girl or an older woman??

My darling daughter was horrified to see that I have a blog. She said "what are you? A little girl? Only little girls write blogs!". Hummmmm. "Well", I said, "Grandma has a blog". "See!" she said. "SEE!!!". Ok. Maybe I should give up on the Blog. Maybe my whole social network will fall apart because I am engaging in a little girl/old lady sort of thing. I'll have to think about this.

too early!

Uggg...I wanna go back to bed but today is the day I volunteer at Church. So have to go and make some sammies and salads and run the cash register saying inappropriate things to the church people...not letting them have their food til they say thank-you....saying "you're welcome" when they haven't said "thank you"...that sort of thing....must train the world to be more polite since their parents obviously haven't. Gee...can ya tell I'm kinda cranky this morning? Then, Sheila, that sneaky little so and so, is picking me up which means I will be trapped and actually have to stay for the service.....grrrrr...it better be a good one! Ah, shouldn't have had 2 glasses of wine last night (okay 3). What is the point? All those calaries and a bad attitude in the morning. Must learn to control my impulses. That's the nice thing about hanging out with the staff of KGM...no booze. The world would be a better place (or at least less cranky) without it. That's it...as of this day I will not drink alcohol anymore. I quit. I also will not have a Starbucks cupcake with icing after eating a piece of Starbucks banana bread...come to think of it...I may actually have a food hangover. That's it! No more sweets...I'm done witht that junk. Mark my words!

I know it is highly unusual to post 2 blogs in one day (is it? My Mom only ever writes once) but I really had to comment on the parinoia on my parents...I mean, look at it folks...do they seem paranoid to you? They seem a bit worried that I am going to spill the beans on all our famlies nasty little secrets. I mean, I would, if we had any, but the only secrets that I know of is that my mom from time to time wears these horrible multi coloured knitted pants. I mean...who knits pants? And although this blog is open for the world to read, the only readers I seem to have are my parents....and, no, I am not going to post my blog on my facebook right now cause I'm not sure I would want to lull my friends to sleep....that honor is reserved for my dear mom and dad.

First day!

Day one of Blog. Felt really behind the times cause my Mom has a blog and I don't. I can go to my Mom's blog and read all about her shopping, laundry, house cleaning. She also writes about Dad's wood chopping and car fixing! Fascinating stuff. No...really! It's strange but I feel closer to her when I know what she is doing. I really think she needs to spend a bit more time off the computer and cleaning her house though! Ha ha! She used to be such a clean freak. Had us kids terrorized....we couldn't leave anything lying around and we had to leave the kitchen SPOTLESS if we ever cooked or made a snack. Don't know where I went wrong. Since I broke my toe Rachel is getting a bit better. She has even done a bit of housework without me asking...miracles of all miracles! Hey...if my Mom can talk about housework, so can I!!! Today kind of gloomy out so, since the doctor says I can heel walk, I will do housework. Unless I don't feel like it. Which I'm thinking I don't. We'll see. Stay tune for another exciting episode of "Sonja and her housework"!!!!
