Love Lost

Just about a week ago, I was washing my face. This is a pretty average event, something I do at least once a day. On this sad day, though, I accidentally pulled out my nose ring which proceeded to hop into the sink and RUN down the drain. I tried not to panic while I pulled out some other nose rings and tried to insert them, but my nose-ring-hole rejected them all!! No matter how hard I tried or how much I cried or how loud I swore, I could not get any nose rings back into my nose. I even had kind friends who all got involved, selflessly sticking their fingers up my nose.

No use! The hole has regrown. Please take a look back with me, at a relationship the ended far too soon... Does anybody know of a good piercing place in Calgary? By "good", I mainly mean clean & healthy.

Always learning

The most important lesson of the whole summer: make sure your camera battery is charged before important events like, i dunno, a WEDDING! The event of the summer and here's what I have to show for it:

... a pair of shoes that I coveted. btw, Michelle is the girl-with-great-taste who owns these shoes.

In general, the wedding was a blast with great food, lots of drinks and no major brawls or disasters despite the many hoodlums in attendance:

Best of all, the couple were clearly overflowing with praise to God for bringing them together. Congrats!

Lessons Continued...

7. Do not annoy someone who has your picture, the tendency to hold grudges and access to a photocopier, tape & telephone poles in your area.

This poster, found in Hope, says, "This man claims to be Belgian, a firefighter, single, Rash Free. None of the above is true. He is not to be trusted. If you see this man exercise extreme caution."

8. The Pacific Rim is COOL!

9. The rainforest grows gigantic slugs!

10. My ass has grown to a gigantic size over the last year. Sadly, I cannot blame this on the rainforest.

(I refuse to display the evidence.)

The things I learned this summer

It's been a busy summer with some road trips, visits with family, youth gatherings, visits with friends and some great life lessons.

1. Exercise extreme caution when starting a blog... you may be subjected to A LOT of pressure to update it. (see comments on previous post)

2. Don't always do what your youth leaders tell you to do.

3. It's not a good idea to stare into the sun while taking a self-portrait.

4. Don't get caught with your mouth full.

5. BC has zero tolerance for speeding.

(my sister was the student of this lesson - ha ha)

6. ALWAYS use restroom/outhouse facilities when they are available, especially if you want to do more than glimpse into the Coquihalla tunnels before sprinting back to the parking lot.
