thoughts and afterthoughts.

i got asked to do an exciting thing today. i am very excited about it. i was asked to mc the fundraiser bout in september (roller derby). apparently this also includes doing the music (!!!!), which is probably the best part. i was told i would definitely need an assistant to operate the music, because you can't do it from the floor at the hassen arena. so i asked tyler if he would do that. i also asked trystan if he would help me out with the mc'ing, so i think we are going to do it together. we're going to get fantastic outfits and be the best at it. haha.

i don't know if i mentioned... i love my hair cut. my bangs are awesome. longer than i had originally planned on wanting them... but... i just need to be on top of maintaining them, i think, and they will be awesome. i can't do the rolled up look with them this short, but i might like them this way better? not sure. we'll see. the rest of my hair feels SO MUCH BETTER with the ends trimmed. it was pretty yucky. and erin didn't texturize it very much, but so far it is working for me fabulously. although, i haven't actually styled it down yet. i think i am going to try that tomorrow... i will give you a report on how that goes.

i get to go to the water slides again tomorrow!!!! my friend shelly bought a card with like 50 hours before the slide season opened, and so she has been taking people (because 50 hours is really hard to use yourself...). its really really nice because you don't feel the pressure of needing to stay the ENTIRE day because you paid $20 to be in there. you just go for as long as you can/want and have a good time. i love the water slides.

bethany joined my mom and i in our cooking extravaganza today. in fact, my mom went canvassing this morning and bethany, owen, rhiannon and i did all the shopping for it. we did a farmer's market run, and also went to nature's fare, simply delicious, and safeway (and i had to run out to super store later on - if you don't buy your spices there, you should. so cheap and so awesome!!). upon arriving we were on a mission for the woman with the beesting cake. it's my favourite. its like a spongy cake on the bottom, with custard in the middle, and shaved almonds on top with probably a honey glaze? so delicious. she wasn't there though... it was a bit of a bummer. we had to do about 4 laps of the market before i managed to finally get all the things on our list (except onions). bethany and i got breakfast egg muffins at the fare to try and make up for the lack of beesting cake. the egg muffins at the fare have chipotle salsa on them - they're pretty awesome.

today's menu included marrakesh stew, home made twix, pesto, and a squash soup that we didn't finish... that is to be finished tomorrow. bethany realized she screwed up the caramel for the twix, so they didn't really harden the way they were supposed to. but we put them in the freezer and will eat them frozen. they still taste DELICIOUS. i had the stew for dinner... and am on the fence with it. we left out the spicy... and i think it is just lacking something? and it has eggplant in it... and i really don't like eggplant. i gave it a shot... and i just don't like it. its kinda... weird. pretty colour on the outside though. haha.

i think that's it for now... be back on thursday i suppose.
