skittish and clumsy:

two new characteristics for me. i jump at anything and everything, especially the guys at work when they're coming through doors or whatever. One time I was in the spray booth and i saw Pete (my boss), and he looked at me and yelled "BOO!" and i jumped. so they laugh at me a lot. on to me being a klutz: whenever i make anything in the kitchen, i manage to do something stupid. here are the top three:

1. I had made a pasta/chicken/broccoli bowl thing and was quickly whipping up some cookies. I scooped out some baking soda...and promptly dumped it into the pasta. the pasta was a little salty that day.

2. We had our small group over for breakfast last saturday and i was making scrambled eggs. i don't know what happened, but one egg managed to jump out of my hand on it's way from the carton to the pan and landed on the floor. waste!

3. Yesterday i was making cupcakes for small groups tomorrow, and i was mixing the batter with a whisk. I was just holding the whisk and i managed to lose grip and it went all the way down my front and onto the floor. so i figured i would just keep the clothes on incase anything else should happen.

I think phil is getting used to the screams of "AAAAAAHHH. I'M AN IDIOT!" coming from the kitchen. pray for me?

quick-read

ok read this really quick-like: "morden's candlewick productions will be having a dessert night, performing Frank Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" set in modern times"....

all i read in that sentance was "frickin dan's christmas". i'm still laughing. and i still can't read it right. i amuse myself.

welcome to my mornings

haha i won the eagle's "name that tune" morning contest again! This time it was "Come Together" by the Beatles. hellooooooooooooooo free sub.

passion or lackthereof

we don't have it. we don't get excited about anything anymore. in high school when i realized that we had no school spirit, i thought "oh well, it's just because we're mennonites". So i was excited when i went to b.c. because i figured with all the non-mennos there it would be different. Ok so i did go to a formostly mennonite college, but most of the students weren't, and still there was little spirit, little passion. Barely anyone came out to school games, only a few people dressed up for the theme days, and i was dissapointed. i wanted it to be like, everyone dressed up/comes to the games so it's wierd if you don't. i think the USA is better at that than us. Anyways, then phil and i got tickets to the grey cup and i was pumped for the crowd and all the cheering and being a part of it. And what happened? Well lets just say that the majority of people around me were more interested in people chugging beer than actually watching the game. And then the one idiot yells that we're jerks for not cheering for the stupid guy wearing a monkey costume. Well helLO i'm at the frickin grey cup and i am going to be cheering for the fooball thank you very much. so overall in life, i am dissapointed with the lack of passion and enthusiasm. I just want to be somewhere where EVERYONE is getting excited and showing it. why is that so impossible?

Best.

weekend tripp AHAHAHAHAHAHA (laughter doesn't really belong here but i HAD to)

this weekend me and phil and christina are goin out to Boissevein (probably not spelled right, but we will get there) to see their/our dad and their/our grandma because she's got cancer and will probably not be leaving the hospital again. I've only met her at our wedding, i think her name is Edith. I'm excited to see Russel/Mr. Tripp/dad but i'm not really looking forward to the awkward "i'm sorry, i don't really know her" part.
