As I was browsing a web site today I saw an advertisement for Valentines Day. Wow, Is that really the next Holiday slash marketing blowout? I started to think to myself how I am excited for this holiday. Valentines Day is great because it’s totally all about the girl. Which I loveJ, but not only that it’s another day to eat chocolate and not feel guilty. PLUS the chocolate comes in a heart shape container and is usually in pink and red wrapping. How amazing is that. Anyways I googled a little further and came across a couple articles stating that Valentines Day, to them, is pretty much the worst day of the year. In fact one lady put it that she would rather “live a lifetime of Mondays” than celebrate another valentines day. Wow. Did you know that approximately Eight million Americans admit they send themselves Valentine's Day gifts? Can you imagine how many people ACTUALLY send them V day Gifts that don’t admit it. But hey… They may feel lonely and unloved but at least they will get something nice! So the month of love is coming sooner than you think. To prepare you for this I will leave you with one of the worst V day stories that I have experienced. (Don’t worry it has not tainted my love for the holy day of the V) I think I was in Grade 7 or 8 I can’t really remember. I really liked this boy (shocking) and I also like another one.(also shocking.) This one boy that I sorta liked asked me out. So naturally I said yes and he gave me some chocolates and I was his g/f. Later that Valentines day Another boy… who I actually like better and didn’t think was going to ask me out did. When he asked me I thought about it in my head how I could get out of the other boyfriend situation before this one knew anything. I thought I could do it so I said Yes. Status Update I had two boyfriends… So I frantically went around trying to find the first one I said yes to and reverse the yes. I did find him eventually… Hanging out with my other boyfriend at lunch. Together… Sadly I had not two boyfriends anymore… not even one boyfriend anymore… I had zero boyfriends… I bet my mom was happy!

Creepy...








This story sounded Much like the fictional Novel I was reading about wearwolfs and vampires. (The fourth Twilight Novel)





Get this... a guy from India "Sanju Bhagat" always had bit larger stomach, but he decided not to worry about it passing it off on different day's as gas or stomach ache. This occurred for 30 Years!! Thirty year old Sanju Bhagat was rushed a hospital In because his stomach was causing him so much pain. When in the hospital the doctors diagnosed as an stomach tumor. Soon after Sanju was brought in for some sort of testing and a new discover was found...To a doctor's surprise it was something extremely different and very unusual. From the birth Sanju had his twin brother living inside of him like a parasite. This phenomenon is extremely rare since parasite twin brother has to survive by leaching on its brother’s blood supply. (hence the vampire story) This bizarre medical conditions is called fetus in fetu and it occurs when a fetus gets trapped inside of its twin. The Doctor who was operating Sanju Bhagat said: "First, one limb came out, then another limb came out. Then some part of genitalia, then some part of hair, some limbs, jaws, limbs, hair." I guess what happened is that some times (1 in 5 00 000) when twin are born, the more dominant twin in the fetus takes over the other and envelopes it into its body and teh fetus starts living off of it as a parasite.... leeching its bloodto live. CRAZY





Here is a You Tube Video Link to see the short 4 min CBC Report on this Man...

What makes this sooo crazy is that no one suspected that he had a twin!


Is that not insane?











IS THAT NOT THE CREEPIEST THING YOU HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

New Years

New Years Resolutions – Back to Basics

I have been contemplating what I should make my New Years Resolution to be this year. I want to make a new resolution rather than the same one I have every year. “To loose twenty pounds”, that is getting old, and usually doesn’t happen (Actually has never happened). I have been thinking of other things like being nicer, taking life slower, knitting, making eye contact with people who avoid eye contact, making myself more uncomfortable when reaching out and interacting with people. But then I thought about it, Yes those are all good things to do, however it just doesn’t seem like a resolution. I want to make more of a goal. So in my search to make a resolution I decided to look up the history of New Years.

Did you know?

It is believed that the Babylonians were the first to make a New Year’s Resolution? Early Christians believe that the fist day of the New Year should be spent looking back on the past year and thinking about past mistakes and resolving to improve on them in the New Year. Also Did you know that fireworks and all those loud noise makers were originally meant to scare off evil spirits and bring good luck.

Interesting hey? This made me think. I’m going to go back to basics and reflect on my past year and think of all the bad things that I did. I started on January 1st last year and remembered that I was at Laura’s house and we were playing a game with another couple. I remember making up answers to make myself more interesting in the game. So I lied and that is bad… so Resolution # 1 Tell the truth. Then I remember going back to Vancouver (1st week of January) and quit my Job at Doggy Day care with no notice. That’s mean… So Resolution # 2 Be nice

THEN I decided that I REALLY REALLY don’t want to dissect last year…

Back to Square one.

After Much thought and contemplation…

I have decided my New Years Resolution…

I am going to loose 20 pounds…

I know your thinking… BORING, But do not fear, I have added onto it this year.
Oh and I’m going to light fire works outside my house to scare off evil spirits.
(I figure what if it does work? Why take any chances in not doing it… Might as well!)

Woolly Mammoths could rise again from their permafrost graves.

Woolly Mammoths could rise again from their permafrost graves.

In the past Scientists have clone Mice that were frozen for 16 years! Most recently scientist cloned “Dolly” the sheep. AND now Scientist have announced another first…

They are cloning the Woolly Mammoth. Scientist in Japan at the “Riken” Research center are opening the door to Resurrecting the extinct species. Yes that is right, If you have ever seen the movie ice age, that big elephant looking thing frozen in the ice, could be coming back to life. Originally the Scientists did not think that this would work because the ice crystals that grow in the ice would cause damage to the cell’s structures inside, however what scientists at the “RIKEN” center have discovered is that it’s POSSIBLE.

Remains of a whooly Mamoth have been uncovered in the Russian permafrost and these may contain intact cells that could be used to create a clone. Perhaps the saber-toothed tiger could also be resurrected as well! CRAZY!
There are still obstacles in the way however, to create the clone you need a surrogate egg for DNA and a mother to carry it…. I know what you are thinking… How will we get a mother from an extinct species? They are going to fertilize it in an ELEPHANT… Oh the poor elephant, what will it think when it pops out a woolly Mammoth? Basically a frozen genome from the woolly Mammoth is going to be planted into the egg from the elephant…

Oh dear, Jurassic park is real People. The extinct shall rise again.

oh and Aaron this blog is dedicated to you, not because you ARE a woolly Mammoth, but because you have the same initals... Wiggly Mort!

A Sad Blog (Readers beware)

I have to honest. Today I am feeling blue. I feel like I try so hard to do my best in every decision that I make. I have actually started to think about my decisions and the consequences of them. I feel as though when I make a decision people are always questioning it or disappointed in me.

Should I really have to justify my decisions and explain myself every time I do something that someone doesn’t approve of? Why do I get anxiety over what I am doing when I know that I am trying to do my best.

Anxiety is eating away at my insides. Its like this murmur in the back or my mind and the bottom of my stomach telling me that something is wrong. I can push it away for a bit then it just comes screaming in the back of mind like a piercing deafening silent tone. This internal conflict is unpredictable. Its hits you when you least expect it. Last night it hit me in the middle of the night which resulted in a sleepless night (or a few hours) for the third night in a row. I also think this sleep deprivation is causing me to think irrationally which in turn will cause me to do something very dangerous… Speak irrationally.

If this make Any sense at all… This is how I feel.

Captivated – I am selfish, I’m wrong, I’m right, I swear I’m right, I swear I knew it all along. I am seeing in myself now what you swore you saw all along. Then denied it.


On a lighter note, Next time someone is judgmental of my actions I’m going to ask them the following questions…
How is the weather in Jerusalem?
Do the palm leaves waving actually keep you cool when riding on a donkey?
and
Can you tell me your name again Cause I could have swore you thought it was Jesus?








P.s. People Dont be worried about me im not sad everyday, I have just had a sad couple of weeks!

October and Chelsea!

October

October is a month that I love very much. It’s a sign that the winter months are coming which right now I am very excited about because I KNOW that this year it is going to snow in Vancouver. Every Year that I have lived here it as snowed, and as the years increase, so does the snow. I also believe that it is going to be a white Christmas because, for the most part it was a fairly cold summer. Gotta love Climate Change… Which I don’t even know if I believe in, but that is for another blog, another time.
October is also an exciting Month because its Jeff’s B day, Mom and Jeff’s anniversary, (which actually is not THAT exciting for me but mom has been talking and planning her anniversary this year as long as I have been planning my wedding. I guess the big One O, is monumental,) JC’s Birthday, and Halloween.
I love Halloween. Its so awesome, OK other than the fact that it’s Satan’s Birthday or something and Witch’s and Demons everywhere are getting all pumped up to celebrate. But really, the Joke is on them. Come on Halloween is the season of giving! People dress up in fun costumes and get candy from people. That is awesome. My favorite part of Halloween is however, the babies more particularly, the babies in costumes. Last week I went Halloween costume shopping with Christina and her 1 month old baby Chelsea. I think it was up there as one of the most fun days of my life. What could be more fun than going around and finding mini penguins, tiny frogs, little mummies, small bad wolf’s, mini pumpkins and The winner, and beautiful bright pink butterfly with antenna’s and everything. It covers Chelsea from head to toe. My heart can not contain the love that I have for that little one dressed up in a full body Butterfly outfit and you can only see her cute chubby face… I love it… I need a picture in her costume, I will post one soon.
Anyways Im posting some pictures for you enjoyment as Chelsea is probably the cutest little baby ever!

Screaming Infidelities

My building manager (Wayne) officially thinks that JC is cheating on me. It all started when Gabe was in town. Wayne saw JC and Gabe hanging out on the Monday that JC had off and he knows I work Monday to Friday. He saw them come out of our suite in the morning. JC told me that they both had the just woken up look on their faces and Wayne game them a funny look. When JC was driving Gabe to the airport later that day, he saw them driving. He walked up to the truck and told JC to be safe, have a good day, and WINKED…..
(Weird, I know. This is also strange because we NEVER run into our building manager this much, Ever!)
During this week, I was bringing in some groceries and there was 3 bags and One milk jug, I Couldn’t carry it all at once and Wayne saw me struggling a bit, He came over to help. When he was helping/ watching me do work, he asked where JC was, I not thinking was like, “Oh He has been super busy with I don’t even know what?” Then fake laughed a bit to myself. I Just said that because I didn’t feel like explaining my life story to the building manager! I realize now that that was just another drop in the bucket for him thinking that JC is having an affair on me. He was probably thinking… “Oh I know what JC is up to.”
The main kicker was this morning. Last night I found out my tire had a nail in it. THANK GOD, for the trusty “help Stephanie in emergency” kit that Jeff made me a few years ago. There was this tire sealant in it, I didn’t even know that existed. (Yes the kit was equip with tire sealant and not only that, a REAL flare, and emergency blanket, an SOS sign, light reflectors, booster cables, candles, a flashlight, and much more!) Anyways the tire is repaired until after work when I go to get a new one. JC gets out of bed early this morning to check on the car and the tire. He sat in the front seat and drove for a min just to make sure it was ok. Then he sleepily in his PJ’s walked back to the house. I guess it looked like he was coming into the building from somewhere else, and who does he run into?… WAYNE!
Wayne: “Long night eh?”
JC: “Yeah, Steph had a popped tire, I was just looking at it.”
Wayne: “yes, listen, you be careful.”

JC just walked away…

Baaaahahahaha that is hilarious!

I cant wait till Laura comes to visit in 2 weeks!
