Woo hoo! It's an update!

Okay, so what have I been up to? Lalalalalalalala! That was for Moody. Okay, I've been working away on this web project, trying to get it all finished up so I can not work on it anymore because I'm really starting to hate the very sight of it. It's been fun but I'm spending too much time with it and all of the design flaws are becoming very harsh and glaring and it's too late to change!!! Moving on. I've also been filling in for sick people at the restaurant (my momma's) the past couple of Sundays and it's been surpisingly fun. The people who work there are hilarious. And this is a good thing because some of the customers really pick my ass. Have I mentioned how much I hate having to be nice to random dickheads for hours on end? Yeah.

I've been doing a lot of driving. I'm trying to control myself because my car is a leased car which means limited mileage but... I just love to drive. I took the doglet to Tofino yesterday and it was fantastic. We stopped in Coombs (they have a market with lots of cool import stuff and goats on the roof - but the goats weren't out yet which if you ask me - and who wouldn't - is false advertising. I may sue. Or break some kneecaps at the very least.) and I did some shopping and then we stopped at Cathedral Grove (which is this amazing old growth foresty bit with ginormous trees that I'm sure they'll eventually log the shit out of) and Lilo sniffed around and became acquainted with the forest. We hugged some trees. It was good. Then we went on to Tofino (LOVE the drive to Tofino! So much mountainy goodness with the twisty roads and the whatnot) where we investigated the wharf (I love the wharf), several little shops (where Lilo received much petting and random love - which is always the best kind!) and then Long Beach where we squished our toes in the sand (okay that was me), chased crows (Lilo), checked out the hot surfers (both of us for surprisingly similar reasons - we both like the petting by hot boys. And we seem to have similar tastes too!), and played in the waves. Lilo actually was almost knocked completely off her feet by a whopping 3 inch high wave. I laughed mightily until I realised that while I was paying so much attention to her (I didn't want her to be swept out to sea) I had forgotten to roll up the cuffs of my jeans and ended up with soaked legs. Nothing better than wet denim. Mmm. Yay. Luckily I had a change of clothes in the car. Yay Coombs shopping! I wanted to stay to see the sunset but sadly had to head home. I had to be up at 5 this morning to get ready for work so I wanted to get to bed by 12 at the latest. I'm such an old lady. But that didn't stop me from making a slight detour to a friend's house (friend of a friend really but whatever) for a rousing game of...the game of Life. I was sober and they were all drunk-esque which you would think would be a damper on the overall funness of it all but no. Evidently I don't need alcohol to be a total retard. I even came really close to falling out of my chair. Backwards. It was cool. I'm just high on life man.

And that's about it. I've just been working on the web stuff, bonding with the doglet and hanging out with my momma and my friends. It's good. Mellow, but good. The island is a great place to be in the spring and summer.

Ooo! And my friend Tsukasa (from Tokyo) is coming to visit this week! Woo hoo! Yay! I'm all aflutter! It's good to have company and she's fun so we're going to have a good time. I have a plan. Multiple plans actually. Fun will be had! I may even have to send out an online photo album. Even more fun! I'm so cracked out. I blame it on the boogie. Sorry. Okay bye!

If you thought Life was fun, you should have been around for the croquet! Official ruling: beer bottles/cans are part of the course.
