random thoughts & things

it's thursday afternoon - late afternoon. i am sitting in my room at the moment with a fan blowing a nice breeze on me. it's been quite hot over here the past 2 days. feels like it came out of nowhere.....not that i'm complaining. it's really nice.

i spent most of this morning in meetings. again, i can't complain because they were meetings with people that i both work with and love being around. there was some sort of sewage backup in our YWAM office so it was ridiculously hot (the heat was on to help dry the carpet?) and smelled pretty awful - so we all congregated at the coffee shop across the street - world cup - where the staff are very well acquainted with us. at one point there were 8 of us in there....

i had a 16 oz. decalf, iced white mocha, with peppermint & made with soy. in case you've found yourself curious ;)

this weekend we have a staff retreat in bellingham, WA. looking forward to spending some solid time with all of us together.

this tuesday i drive to vancouver with some friends and fly home to winnipeg for a 3 week visit. yay!

last night my friend Mel & I skipped our last crew class and went to the olive garden -yummmmmmm- .... crew class has been a lot of fun, by the way. but last week Mel & I had a miserable time. the guy behind me kept hitting me in the back each time he'd row, the girl in front of me was rushing, no one in the entire boat was doing a very good job at setting the boat & the entire time i felt like i was going to fall in the lake! i think i might have given up on my dream of going to the olympics for crew. sad.

speaking of which, i've always had a secret dream of going to the olympics....only originally it was for swimming. when i was young, i was never allowed to pass RED in swimming because i insisted on holding my nose while underwater. i wasn't afraid of water, infact, i even relished each chance to jump in the deep end and tread water. still, i never passed dumb level RED!

i can swim underwater without holding my nose these days....
i still love crew.....
i still like to dream of going to the olympics...
i love iced white mochas w/ peppermint...
