i have had a wonderful evening.
to start i went swimming at "leo lafleur public pool" across the street from my house. my next door neighbour, ruth, told me that it was free tonight because it was so hot (i guess when it gets close to 40 its free). so i told beckie via msn, and we met there. it was so refreshing and lovely. it made me feel so much better because i've been feeling like i haven't been getting much exercise and as a result haven't been very energized. but being in the water and treading water was just what i needed.
then sarah came over and it was so nice spending the evening talking to her. i love that she understands me so well, she's very similar to me, but she's also very astute. i hope her good words will sink in and i won't forget them when i'm feeling confused or full of self-doubt. i appreciate her level-headed perspective as she's not all emotionally tangled up. we popped ourselves some of my coloured popcorn and i must say, it was the most whitest, most purest, most smallest popcorn i have ever seen. and no it didn't taste different.
well i got my flight details for my trip to kenya. its about 24 hours of travel or more. very interesting, the longest travel time i've ever had was 17 hours, its pretty exciting. i'll be stopping over in amsterdam, where i've stopped once before, but the first time was for 2 hours, and this time its like 7 hours. oooh, i'm nervous but delighted.
today one of my print suppliers brought me in an apple pie. i find this funny because he's a sales guy and he KNOWS how far a simple gesture like that will take him. we were all like "ooh, he's our favourite printer...", we're total suckers. too funny. i find it amusing that i'm someone that somebody would need/like to suck up to.
ah, i'm feeling happy.
wow that's quite the storm outside my window.
although they say that life is always a bowl of cherries,
why can't it ? why can't it ? should i punish myself for it ?
oh no ...

yay swimming!!! I'm so glad you let me in on the free-swim secret. it felt lovely to be in the water.
I'm happy you're feeling happier today. :)
swimming was awesome. nice way to cool down and not feel sticky and gross.
i'm happy i'm happy too :)
Neat, I stopped in Amsterdam for 7 hours on my way back!! More than enough time to take the train into the city... and various districts therein. ;)
i loved amsterdam! we were there for 2 days/3 nights, which is considerably more than your 7 hour stop, but you definitely have time to do some sight seeing if you know what you're after. i found the lonely planet very helpful...
whoa, know you've got me all excited about going to amsterdam, but i looked at my flights and i'll be arriving at like 5:30am, and i think i'll be feeling a tad queezy... bummer.
amsterdam never really sleeps, it's kind of like a festival that never ends. so if you're up for it, you'll still get a good idea of the place just from wandering around.
