I was going to do this really big rant about stupid people, stupid drivers, and stupid messy bedrooms, but I've run out of time and must get 8 hours of sleep, or the anger will get worse!
so instead (for the moment) I'll post some pictures.
Me and Megan (the other bridesmaid) just threw my friend Lindsay's bridal shower, and it went very well - Lindsay was a good sport, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I also got to see Minter Gardens where they'll be getting married. very lovely.
so until I have some more time, the rant will have to wait. all I have to say is EXCUSE ME for stopping quickly to avoid running over some cute wild grouse , if you hadn't been driving so close behind you might not have had to slam on your brakes and honk at me, bitch! grrr!

ah, finally some heat again! Yay sunshine! I only wish that the beach was next to my house and not a car ride away (or bike ride). Summer is going by way too fast - although I have to admit, part of me is looking forward to wearing scarves and mittens and sitting in coffee shops sipping steaming mugs of sweet goodness. mmm... But that will come soon enough.
here's some recent and random pics
i can see a killer whale, can you?

Tara's picnic at Beacon Hill - brrrrr! but it was fun and zany. way too much pita and dips!me and Tara on our Inner Harbour ferry tour. weee! it was neat, we learned lots of things.
my friend Elaine down at Cloverpoint.

sorry...

whoops, that month went by fast!
I've been meaning to post, but time is a funny thing... It's been a pretty crazy month. Crystal is in the valley until september, enjoying the sunshine and not working, Julie finished her summer classes and is now home in PEI for august. Crystal's friend Sarah is staying in her room for august, so I'm not completely alone. She's cool. I finally got the bench swing I've been wanting all summer (I'll take a picture and post it), and I'm loving it. Working lots as usual. um... eating blackberries in the back yard, and having bbq's. Tara finished her bike trip, and is visiting for a couple of days before heading home for august (before moving to Germany!) and her and new stellar legs have been fun. :) We went shopping yesterday and she got 3 pairs of pants for a total of 39 dollars! (One pair was only $5!!!) How do you pass up sweet deals like that??? You don't! ;) We just went to Shine for a delicious breaky with Dave, and are now gonna head downtown. weee...
I went to Abbotsford last week or so, to chill with my friend Lindsay who's pregnant, and getting married! It was ridiculously hot, but we had a good time. I got to play with cats, dogs, adn babies, so I was happy. :) and I think that the bridesmaid dresses are going to look pretty nice!
I can't believe how fast July went by! I must get to the beach more!!!
I will work harder at blogging more, but I make no promises.
