RANDOM CONVERSATION...

I've been chuckling over this conversation between the mini-me and one of her co-workers for a few days now....
random co-worker:  oh hi, mini, I ran into mr pawprint a few days ago at {insert random big-box    electronics store}

mini-me:  oh ya?

rcw:  ya, it's the first time I met his boy.

m-m:  so, how was that? {smiling nervously)

rcw:  I didn't realize they looked so much alike...

m-m:  {giggling uncontrollably...}

rcw:  what's so funny?  wait~no!  I mean facially!  did you think I meant because they're both...um...pudgy?!!!

PUDGY!!!!  OMG!!  HAHAHAHAHA!!   PUDGY!
I love it!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Sadly missed and remembered with love~My Dad.

This is the last pic I took of him before he died,

13 years ago.

He and the Mini-Me were reading

'The Three Little Pigs'

And he acted the parts for her.

I love this photo!  It captures him so perfectly!

Miss you Dad!

mr pawprint and I had a fairly quiet weekend.

We went for Italian last night~yum!

Organic pasta and leftovers!

And today was the first football game in the new/old stadium.

Even tho we lost, it was a pretty good game.

Luckily, the forcasted rain held off, a very good thing

as we are playing in an outdoor stadium this year while B.C. Place

gets a new retractable roof.

Amid the sea of orange and black t-shirts

(who comes up with these team colors anyway??)

one older couple stood out.

They were both dressed impeccably in white suits.

She wore strappy orange heels and had an orange purse, gloves 

and scarf on her white hat.

He had a large orange feather in his white hat

and an orange scarf around his neck.

They were so dapper!

I hope they're there next time,

'cuz I would love a photo of them!

DEAR MOTHER NATURE....

Um, I know you're busy and all, what with the whole world to look after, but it's June 4th.  Please, please, can you make the rain stop for a few days and let us have some sun?
 So grateful for your consideration,
Me

TESTOSTERONE FREE WEEKEND!

Yep, it's along weekend and we are in the testosterone-free zone!

There will be cupcakes!

Martinis!

Chic-flicks!

And cat-cuddling!

5 MINUTE HAIR!!

I keep going shorter and shorter

in my quest for 5-minute hair.

I've finally got it!

A quick blow-dry, straighten a few strands,

rub in a bit of paste~done!

Love!

PEOPLE SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS!

I've gotten alot of mileage from this conversation I had recently with someone:

RANDOM PERSON: "are you Jewish?"

ME: "now why would you ask me that?"

R/P: "because of your earrings"

ME: "um, they're starfish..."

hahaha, now known as  'Starfish of David' earrings, I'm still chuckling!

FLIPPIN' BANK~

My mortgage came up for renewal at the beginning of the month.  I contacted a Mortgage Broker who found me a GREAT deal, thru a different lender.   Everything was going along smoothly~until my bank decided they wouldn't accept part of the agreement.  Well, that's business, I understand that.  But I don't understand them not getting back to my Notary until 20 minutes or so before the close of the business day, the day before a 4 day long weekend.  Which added all kinds of stress and many $$$ of interest and extra payments for me.

The other day I received a letter from my bank, stating they'd paid out my mortgage.  Apparently I'd overpaid, and they'd refunded the 14 cents to my account!  Flippin' bank.  Their dithering around cost me $2200, but thanks for the 14 cents.  And yes, I'm in the process of changing banks...
