Dear Colin,

Next time I try and convince you to keep a puppy and name in Piper (which is the best name ever) please don't trail off and eventually inform me that me being allergic to animals and having asthma is my own fault. You are right colin, it is my fault that I have to worry everyday if I have an inhaler, and that after even holding a pet I might have to use a nebulizer, or the fact that I have to wash my hands promptly after to insure that the hives don't spread further than they already have. Yes, this is all my fault. And sorry for the inconvenience it put on you to make the effort to drive the ten minutes to my house after you get off work. I know that had to be 'ruff' for you (yes the pun what intended), and yes I know it is all my fault thanks for trying to get that point across.. Sincerely, Your REALLY REALLY pissed off girlfriend.

DLTA Rotary Conference

Just got home from Victoria BC and have decided that:

• I am happy to be part of Rotary! What a great group of people doing such a great thing!


• I want to attend UVIC (University of Victoria)


• I want to be Canadian


• I still do not like alcohol


• I plan on start using words like about (aboat) out (oUt) not (nOt) and eh!


• I want to travel with the rotary friendship program


• I still love tea


• I love the empress


• I dislike ferry rides


• Italian restaurants are so much better in Canada


• Merchies is the breakfast place to be


• Canadians are Hot stuff (especially the young rotary members)

Overall I believe all of our fellow rotary members had a grand time! =)))

Pacific Science Center

One thing I can mark of my list of things to do before the hear is done!

Heather and I semi-successfully went to the pacific science center and the Harry Potter exhibit.

I left the house at about twelve! Can you say excited! However, ol' blue decided to give me a hard time two miles away from my exit and all the way up until I got parked behind Ihop. Stupid truck!

On the way from Olympia to Seattle we did manage to get lost and end up in the UW district, but luckily we found our way back to I-5 and on our way to Harry.

Even though we were late for our tickets they still let us in thank goodness, which was good
news because we were is such a hurry we did manage to hit a parked car...woops!

When we got the the entrance (very hard to find by the way) a kind lady gave us a free listening thign so we could play special facts about the things we were seeing (like Daniel Ratcliff was allergic to the stuff his glasses were made out of so they had to solve that problem).

Then we exercised our minds at the science center, looking at reptiles, naked mole rats, playing in tide pools, taking shadow photos, sitting in an enlarged chair, we did so much while completely avoiding the butterflies (upon heathers request which I gladly agreed).

We cut our visit a tad bit short because sometimes (and by that I mean all the time) food just comes first!

We went to the Bahama Breeze and had a to die for meal! With the best Pina Colada I have ever had! It was amazing!Overall I say great trip! Well worth it! Can't wait til my next visit, and of course until the final movie comes out of dear ol' Harry Potter.

CHRISTMAS EVE
I worked from noon to three. Drove home. Then left with my family and Willy to the Christmas eve Marbut party. Where the food was great the company was fun and I went home with a golf package and Willy left with a Peir One gift card. He kindly traded =))). Scotty later came over in an attempt for games.. that failed but his company was all we needed in the end.

CHRISTMAS DAY
Gifts, Gifts, Gifts. And dad luckily got to drive home and join us! How exciting! I got lots of good things from SANTA! I got the coat and jacket I wanted, a bracelet made out of a piano, boom boom cards (to be talked about more later), a Juicy belly ring, glee clothes, a glee cd, the glee game (so much glee stuff), glee bracelets, tom shoes, Disney trivia, and an ordement that counts down the amount of time til Christmas.

Then we had breakfast at grandmas which is always a blast. Me with my regular pancakes and everyone else with the plain.

DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS tio's birthday =)
Ridgway Christmas. Unfortunately I was sick and had to miss work and had no appetite to eat the good food, or hold the amazing babies! But everyone I loved joined =)). Colin was there and he brought Ryan whom is a sweetheart and my mom loved him! I left with a man gift and Colin got a world market gift card. We traded. Good man! Then we played Disney trivia and in a pickle and Catch Phrase! I could lived without Amanda telling me Levi and I annoyed everyone, and without her shaving creaming the sleeping guests =((( Ryan will probably never come back which is sad because he is a asset to the group as is Colin.
