jinx

i have good news!! i am now bombardier's newest INTERMEDIATE graphic designer. my promotion went through today and it goes into effect as of monday! hurray!! i'm excited, so excited that i almost hugged knickers, but then i didn't. i got a raise too, not quite as much as i'd hoped but not too bad either. thankfully, i've finally cleared my wages from kgh. to me, i was never making good money until i made more than i did cleaning toilets at the hospital. i got some reese's peanut butter cups in celebration.

today i ate fish with a spoon.

i had a lovely evening. laney, melissa and pussy kat came by and we went for a walk. we ended up at the forbes's were the girls baked cookies (bakies?) and then we played around with lissa's new macbook. it was nerdtastic! when beckie arrived i realized that we were ALL mac users. it was rad :)

i love a nice summer's breeze. its my favourite thing about summer. i remember talking to who i thought was melinda on msn last year telling her about my new nightie and the breeze coming thru the window, but it turned out to be melinda's cousin christian. she said he still goes on about me and my nightie to this day. how embarrassing...

oh when the girls and tim arrived earlier tonight fru was on the balcony and he stepped over the railing and had his little paws on the other side like he was going to jump off to greet them. it freaked me out! they were like "wait! no, don't jump!! go back!!!" i like letting fru on the balcony, and i like hanging out with the patio door open, but i'm scared that he's an idiot.

i feel protected by something,
like I'm being led by the hand.

summer breezes are special. they're one of my favourite things about summer. maybe because they offer some relief from the insane heat!! :P

oh baby i love the breeze. there's something very natural and... connecting about the air. man, what a ditsy thing to say. i appologize. but it makes sense in my brain!!!

i agree... i think the breeze is the best part of summer! that and the smell of warm rain at night... sometimes i wish i didn't have an air conditioner in my bedroom window. other times i'm grateful.

I really like the quote...
It is comforting knowing that you are being protected and cared for.

..and there is something to be said about being lead and knowing it. another comfoting thing. when you are floundering around wondering if you are doing the right thing or choosing right, without the feel of a hand leading you can feel alone.

I like the image of a hand leading....it feels like a warm cup o'tea.
