The Life of Pi

So another random set of life notes:

• On Biking and Injuries

Biking across Whoop-up Drive is fantastic. The name says it all. Biking with Deanna and Melinda to Safeways makes my day. Biking is a fantastic form of exercise. It makes your thighs work. I realized however, the frightening part about biking down the hill next to on coming traffic without a helmet (don't tell my mother!) has its moments of terror. Thankfully, I am still alive and in good spirits.

I think that I really like getting injured. I cut the back of my leg on my bike pedal and low and behold the blood dripped down and stained my sock. It was fantastic. It was a great war wound.
I wish I had a picture, but I've already washed the sock. I currently have a hello-kitty band-aid on my wound- thanks to Dr. Melinda.

• On Deanna's Recital

I went to Deanna' recital on Sunday. I am not an especially sentimental person- I mean, I might tear up once and a while, but for a tear to actually fall, this must mean a whole heck of a lot. So really, I was just as surprised when a tear (or two!) fell when she and the other two girls sang "Wonderful , Merciful Saviour."

I also have realized that hair extensions are amazing. They are real hair. I think that they should be stored in an ice chest. I think Deanna was the bell of the ball. She is stunning.

• On T-Marie's Visit

Tracy came to visit me this weekend. Just in time. It's like she knew I needed her. She is like one of us. She is also an amazing choreographer. She is so trendy. She is so funny. I love Tracy.

• On Evie's Engagement

Basically, this is one of the most exciting things to happen. I totally respect and admire Kevin and I am so excited to stand up front with Evie on her Wedding day. (!) We have been doing the wedding talk for a week and a half now... it has its moments but really... it's fantastic. Weddings are a lot of work- but hell are they fun. Girls will be girls.

I suggested that we have a couple of drinks before the actual ceremony. Evie isn't convinced yet. I have made it my goal to sing the bridal march to Evie everyday I see her until her wedding. I think this will really help get in the right frame of mind.

Wedding dress shopping has got me thinking however- they are so poofy and white and frilly. I think I will get married in a brown paper bag. I think I will also have a massive BBQ for my own wedding with pineapple chicken skewers. That's all I really want.
