I cant really sleep so I thought I'd come here to give everyone a little update.
It looks like the BBQ is going to be on the 21st - I got a thumbs up by everyone so thank you all for making it really easy to decide a date. I'll send out another email to hit 10 or so people and their significant others that dont read my blog that contain the final details - ie. time, what to bring, etc...
I'm really excited this year. It's really my first year of combining Humber people with Woodlanders... (and a lonely Niagara College girl...) dont worry - I'll be your friend my dear.. I'll make it up to you... two words for you: Midnight Swim ;) lol :P).
The "dear" I speak of is Anna... Good lord, I haven't seen you in a Dog's age!! ok, granted, a really young dog... But you're coming over on Wednesday! *happy dance* I'm gonna show you the Mississauga sites like you've never seen them! Look out - Christmas is coming early!!!!! This is better than Christmas... It's like the first of July!! no.. better than that - it's like having Christmas on the first of July!!! We'll get Santa, bend him over.. jam firecrackers in his arse and light up the summer sky while singing "We're Off to see the Wizard" !!!
...what? the Wizard of Oz is a happy movie.. it's fun... what better than a 2 hour long acid trip filled with a giant talking flaming heads, flying monkeys, melting witches, a "weed field" that makes you sleepy, and horses of different colours?
yea.. it's like all of that - ROLLED INTO ONE! are you ready?
who am I kidding? it's not gonna be like that at all.. but I think I have some Fruit Cake in the freezer and a pack of sparklers out in the car... will that do?
Random: Robbie - say something clever in the comments...
I saw Andrew on saturday... Chrissy, I've told him a countless number of times already but please let him know how appreciative of his talents I am.
For those of you who dont know, we got up Saturday morning... I took him to his mom's place where all his shop tools are, and we fixed the Porsche... I had purchased a new Clutch Master / Slave Cylinder for (to use a pronoun for Jessica's sake - even though I dont ususally refer to my car as it, but....) her, but I didn't have the knowledge or the tools to do the job right (or at all). I could have fumbled around the master but I never would have made the short work of the slave that Andrew did..
The problem with the car was the clutch pedal. I would press it down and.... nothing. There was no pressure on the pedal, and because there was no pressure it didn't lift the gears apart when pressed, which made shifting rather... fun.
To tell you the truth, I was actually starting to get embarrassed whenever I stopped at red lights. Stopping was fine, it was GOING again that was the problem... Because the car didn't shift well, all of you who have ever driven standard know that shifting into 1st with a clutch that works perfectly is hard enough (until you get used to it) but shifting into first with a clutch that is as floppy as a wet noodle is next to impossible without stalling.... and stall I did - many many times...
But I dont have that problem anymore!!!
During the afternoon, Andrew decided to first proclaim that my car was a "he" and not a "she"... but "his" name was Phillis... Not Phil... But Phillis... I cant remember his reasoning behind this, but I thought it was quite comical... I now drive a gender-confused automobile...
I prefer to call it the Millenium Falcon.... Why? because "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."
Hmm... that reminds me of some girls I used to date... no offence to anyone reading! lol... oh god please no offence... it was a JOKE... relax... *picks up a length of pipe for protection*.
Anyway all.. I better boogie. I'm working tomorrow at 3, but I'm heading to NAPA first with the hopes that the can mix me up a can of LY5V paint for Phillis... her front lip has a few rock chips that I'd like to sand, prime, and paint out...
oh, I bought a new performance air filter for the car today too... I'll be retrofitting that as quick as it comes in... I think I'm up to the task - are y'all with me??? w00t!!!
See ya Wednesday ;).
Until next time....... *fade to black*
