poupour

we spent a large part of the afternoon (much larger than we expected) planning our trip to ireland. while it took a while, we're pretty pumped. six weeks today!! we're staying here: isaac's inn, and here global village, and here paddy's palace, and here lagan backpackers. and we're staying with rachel and eric a couple nights too. we're getting pretty excited about our trip! it's gonna be great. i'm really looking forward to it :D after this trip, brendan will be the person i've been to the most countries with, which is kind of neat because it's only over the course of 8 months of marriage! i was talking to my mom today asking her how similar she thinks ireland will be to the UK. she said it will be very similar, which is ok with me because i love the UK. it's my home away from home. i'm planning on buying some chocolate (way better than canadian chocolate) and ribena upon landing in dublin.

having lost 7 pounds, i've gone down 2 pant sizes and the pants i bought in december no longer fit. that's ok because i bought them for really cheap while on sale. i'm really pleased with my new pants. i prefer dark jeans, and in general i find this pair to be quite slimming. i'm less bulky and don't need a belt which is great.

we almost bought a house the other day. it was a short lived dream because within 4 hours of finding it i received an email from the realtor saying there's already a conditional offer on the house. that's ok. we weren't really looking, but just stumbled upon it. funny how different life paths appear and disappear so frequently.

last night i dreamt about a giraffe.

were you born a closed book,
full of secret lines?
