So... work had been interesting! A couple of weeks ago my boss brought in three little dwarf hamsters. Her son had one, and it had babies... and well we all know how that works. Incest anyone? Anyway. So one or two days after the hamsters come to live at the office, one has a baby! Ya! Little baby hamster, so cute! Pink and furless and squeaky! Two of the hamsters didn't get along to well with one, so they ended up seperated, two in one cage and the third in a seperate cage. They were named: Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather. Anyone recognize the names? Ten points to who ever can guess where they came from! So Flora has one baby... about a week and a half later... Fauna reveals that she has had babies too! Five! (Or six, we really can't tell because they are constantly moving and hiding...)

Back to the story. So the other day, the boss is cleaning out one of the cages and she is carrying a peice of the cage back and it drips on our co-workers desk. We plot the perfect thing... since our co-worker is such a germ-a-phobe... The Boss decides to leave it. CW comes back... and she notices it. "Looks like there is some water on my desk" she says. The Boss, looks at it and says, "Oh, sorry... we had the hamster running round on your desk. I think it may have pee'd on there." CW looks again, "Well, it looks clear, it isn't yellow..." At that very moment the Boss dips her finger in the puddle and licks it. I swear, the look on CW's face was priceless! She was shocked. And of course, I am red trying not to laugh. Really!! : ) It was pretty funny.

**Update! Merriweather just revelead that she has brought children into the world too. Oops. So much for three hamsters. I think the count is closer to 16 or 17. Definately less then twenty still.

I have decided to adopt one, I am keeping him at work though, because I don't have a place for him at home. I have named him Prince Charming (keeping with the Disney theme) but he has already been dubbed PC for short. He is so cute!

I have it... the Black Lung. Okay, not really. But I do have that nasty cough, drippy nose, stuffy head thing that's going around. And it is not cool or fun. But I just downed some sweet relief in the form of NyQuil, and I'm waiting for it to knock me out. Come on... drugs, give it to me! That sleep, the thing that will make me feel better. Sheesh.
Rene and I went to see 27 dresses. Friggin funny stuff man, I loved it. I very rarely ever recommend a movie. Mostly because I tend to block out the crappy parts and just remember the good parts (I wish that I could do that with my life. Okay, just some conversations in which I put my foot in my mouth. And maybe that one time I got really drunked up and called some people. Or... okay we all don't have time for how long this list is getting and I'm totally distracting myself.) Back to the movie. So funny! And good. And WAY better then the movie I saw on Thursday. Not even gonna say what movie I watched, because everyone is going to tell me, "I told you so." But I am going to say that Dane Cook is totally hot. Who can guess which movie it was? Hint two: He wasn't wearing his shirt for most of the movie. Ten points if you can. The main reason I don't recommend movies is because everyone has such a specific tastes, and I don't want say, oh ya! That movie was so witty an there were so many good parts, only for them to go and be completely offended by some part that I forgot was even in the movie. Oops.
Okay.... I just got distracted for like five minutes by the tv... think that NyQuil is hitting me. Funny! A NyQuil commercial was just on tv! Ha! Sleep like before you had a roommate. My roommate isn't even home yet, so not really the issue. More of an issue with my scratchy throat. Yep.
Chill's Hommies! I'm out. Off to bed-a-rama. And in the morning, churchy-poo. Oh, and in the afternoon, Meagan and Lacey time! Ya!

Canada, oh Canada, how lovely are your branches...

Ah... yes. Next door, our good neighbors, Canada. Pending a slightly delayed start, Rachel, Rene and I headed north for the border...looking for, well the same thing we are always looking for. Hot guys, strong drinks, and fabulous shoes at clearance prices. Wait. That was a joke. Just so you know. Okay, not the part about the shoes. Who isn't always on the look out for a good pair of shoes at a decent price? Really. Priority's.
Anyway. So we swung by a small city know as the Ham of Belling and picked up a few more friends. Then, accompanied by Rachel's most glorious of song collections, we began the journey north. Ironically, we had little clue as to how our weekend would end.... da da da dum.... Okay, not really. On with the story.
We traveled past through the border with out any hiccups... thanks to my friend's squeaky clean record now that they have been sealed (juvenile offences). Just kidding! Again! Sheesh. Learn to take a joke!! Really. : )
Ironically enough, even though it was raining most of the time, I really enjoyed the trip! We met the nicest girl, Leslie, and the four of us had the best time shopping. We then enjoyed some chips and fries at an Irish Pub (some of the girls had Poutine, but with the gravy on the side). We spent the evening with some rambunctious young-en's. That is for sure. Once again I am reminded in the wisdom of legal drinking ages being older versus younger. Really. But I can safely say that enough drinks and everyone will end up with the maturity of a 12 year old. Even if you are 35. (Not that I know anyone like that. Pashaw! You know who I'm talking about. Ya, you!) I do also believe that we were called Yanks too. Hmmm...
Rachel and I ended up deserting the hard core partiers and headed out for a little jaunt about town. We were looking for a movie theater, but all we found were peep shows for 25 cents. We decided to pass. You get what you pay for people, and I don't think that what is available for 25 cents is really worth my time. So we continued our wander and managed to end up by a Starbucks. We decided to sit outside and chat while we sipped our beverages, and we were immediately distracted by the massive amount of incredibly hot guys that were walking by... better dressed then us... with nicer shoes... and better hair cuts.... About half an hour into our visit I think that it finally occurred to me that all these guys were in pairs. And they were all definitely with each other.... and when I looked around there were all these banners with rainbows on them. Hmmm... Funny! Just at that moment my friend Jason called me, and I think that is when the light when on. Hello! So we laughed at that and then attempted to find our hotel again. We walked through most of the residential area around downtown and admired the architecture and pretended that we were not lost. After finally located the huge Hyatt Building (can you really loose a building that is over 40 stories high? I can!) We decided to enjoy a frosty blended beverage in the restaurant. We chatted with the bartender there and discovered that the next morning the hotel lobby was going to be the site for a movie! And Jennifer Aniston was going to be in it! I know! So exciting! Unfortunately we didn't see her the next morning when we checked out. We did see several girls that might have possibly been her, but there were alot of people walking around with entourages wearing sunglasses, so it was hard to pinpoint who was who. I mean, even I was walking around with an entourage and wearing sunglasses. But for some reason no one stopped and asked for my autograph. Oh well, their loss.
All in all the weekend was so fun, spending time with my friends and making new ones!
Now the countdown for Cancun is starting... only 23 days! Ya!
