Eggs & Toast usually do the trick for Saturday morning.

Well, I'm about halfway through the weekend at this point - it's Saturday afternoon and I'm wondering how I'm going to go out and do those pesky errands without getting pelted with rain. ARRRRGHGHGHGHGHHHH!!!!!!! Rain really gets my goat. It makes my hair frizzy and my apartment humid, and I also get a headache and sneeze a lot.

Last night I was out for dinner at a vegan restaurant. Normally I wouldn't do this, but I'll try anything once. Generally I enjoy meat and think it's an integral part of a dinner out. But I actually really liked the meal and only remembered afterwards that there had been ZERO meat involved. This restaurant was tapas-style which meant you ordered about 3 or 4 things to share between 2 people. We had some chickpea/avocado/other stuff salad, a mushroom phyllo pastry thing, some flax fettuccine, and some asparagus on quinoa. Plus wine, OF COURSE. I'm not going to "go vegan" or anything, but I can survive it now and then.

This aft I'm hoping to hit up "The Proposal" and then head to a friend's bday bash. Keep me posted on your weekend stylings.

Here I am.

Hey guys. It's finally summer! These are the days of sitting on patios and new adventures, in that order. Soon I'll be hammering out some birthday plan details, but before that, I need to figure out a day to go to Canada's Wonderland. I actually liked it a lot better when it was PARAMOUNT Canada's Wonderland and they had the rights to the Hanna-Barbera characters. Oh well. I believe there are still some Scooby-Doo icons floating around in the deserted areas of the kids' section.

Has anyone had any customer service debacles lately? I was pretty mad at Rogers last week. That company just really gets my goat. The story is, I decided to downgrade my cable to "basic plus combo", meaning that I wouldn't get as many channels, or pay as much per month. I called them, and they told me I had to return the satellite box that I had been "renting" from them. I never even wanted that satellite box in the first place and it turns out it hadn't even been necessary for the channels I was getting before. ARGH! So I was paying around $5 per month just to rent this stupid box that I didn't even need. Anyways, I was on the phone for quite awhile with this Rogers guy, figuring out exactly which channels I'd have on the new service, and what my new bill would look like. He said he'd put everything into the system that we'd talked about, and I just had to bring the satellite box thing into any Rogers store.

So later that afternoon, I brought the satellite box into a Rogers store... and guess what... there was NO RECORD of my conversation with dude #1. I repeated everything to the Rogers store people, who were incredibly lame, and then they couldn't take the satellite box thing back from me because there was no indication on my account that my services were changing at all. So essentially, that entire conversation I'd had earlier just didn't exist. The Rogers store people aren't allowed to change things on people's accounts, so they had to call another Rogers person and I had to stand there in the Rogers store and re-explain the whole thing on the phone. SO ANNOYING. Finally the person on the phone changed my account, so the in-store people were permitted to take the satellite box back. It wouldn't have been so annoying if someone would've been even a little bit nice, but they were all really mad at the world and it was super unpleasant.

So, now I'll resume eating berries. Let's take a day off and hang out in the sun!!!!!

THINGS.

Things I did on Wednesday:

- made peanut butter cookies.
- ate quite a few.
- considered slashing my cable. (eg. un-signing up for cable. it's too expensive.)
- had freezing cold toes.
- dropped my green sharpie on my foot, where it left a green mark.
- thought about money, got depressed, thought about money more, concluded that I will never be able to buy a house, ever.
- took the stairs down after work. odd. never done that before.
- didn't go for a run!
- looked at my bike helmet and its ugliness.
- stalked people on facebook.
- talked to one client on the phone like WAY too many times and confirmed the exact same information every time, leading me to believe that she had short-term amnesia.
- listened to "Like a Prayer" while on hold.
-a lot of other items.
