Weekend Update.

So yes it was my birthday weekend. I should clarify some things. The birds I killed...one rebounded off the truck in front of me and then hit me. So technically, I put the poor thing out of it's misery. The second bird...it was horrible!! It decided to take off, just as I was driving by. It flew down just below my hood. I didn't hear a thud..so I thought & was very relieved to think I hadn't killed another bird. Then a second later...the bird flew up over my hood, or rather bits of it and a few loose feathers. I felt sick to my stomach! I'm a bird killer!!! I don't want to be a bird killer!! A spider killer, yes, bird killer no!
It was SOOOO horrible!!!!!!

As for the going the wrong way, down a one way street. In my defense, it was a 2 way to start. Then there was an intersection, and then it apparently went to a one way street. There were no one way signs. Does Quebec not use one way signs?? Thankfully there was a place to turn around.

For the parking lot...I don't have much of a defense on that one. There was construction so they had to reroute everyone. So we're going around and around...and frankly, I was getting dizzy. But the next cement support was somehow in my blindspot. I almost hit it. No excuse on that one...I should have seen it at some point. Maybe I should give the car up and take the bus. Ya think??



Good Things About My Birthday

'Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest' came out on my birthday. That's one heck of a gift. Johnny Depp and a scruffy, long haired Orlando Bloom? Can't really beat that. Unless it's the scene where they rip Orlando's shirt off his back..and they whip him ...so his back is arched and head is back with eyes closed. mmmmmmmmmm...yummy. Now I see why my best friend finds him so attractive.

Italy won the world cup!

I got to spend lots of time with my family..play games and hang out. They all put together a blessings box for me. I was pretty depressed about turning 30. So they put a bunch of comments in a pretty box for me to look at when I get depressed. Then that will cheer me up. Things like... I've never been abducted by aliens, I have the best brother-in-law(gee, I wonder who wrote that one?), I have a car, I've travelled to exotic locations, a family who loves me...etc. I've already thought of a few things to add. I've never had rabies, George W. Bush doesn't run my country, I've never been attacked by cannibals, Italy won the world cup for my birthday. I need to think of some other ones. But at least it's a start. I think the blessings box was a pretty cool idea. There were 30 blessings, for my 30 years of life.

I got to go to the Museum of Civilizations. It was myself, my mom and my best friend. First after my mom peeing 3 times in 7 minutes, (people say I have a small bladder??) we went to the childrens section. That was a lot of fun. I like playing..and apparently so does my mom. I got to be a mummy, and drive a truck in Pakistan...I even got to play with the crane! Crane, as in pick up some parcels with the big crane off the ship and then place them on dry ground. I was the only adult doing it. I had a line up of kids behind me. Those kids sure know how to wheel and deal! I had to make a deal with the kid behind me so I could use the stinkin' crane! But I got to play so that fun. I also got to see the new 'Petra' exhibit. That was amazing. I'd love to go there. Just a tip for people. If you want to take your children to the museum...don't let them run around screaming in the exhibit rooms! In the children's section is one thing...but when adults are trying to watch a movie about the special exhibit..or read the write ups on the exhibits...please keep you kid quiet, or kindly remove them from the exhibit. I just think it's rude to have your child running around screaming while paying adults have come to an exhibit. It just ruins it for everyone. Yes, I am getting old and grumpy.

All in all, it was a great brithday weekend. I'm not too depressed anymore..I figure, I'm 30 and there isn't anything I can do about it. That, totally sucks!

Can I pretend I'm still 29?
