This is almost how I react when Chris steals my pen

May 23, 2007 by Tricia

Ok I just wrote a post about Chris being the biggest pen thief in the world. Is it no wonder, is it, that I get kind of paranoid about my own pens?

Just like this Kids in the Hall video, I will not accept a pen from him that isn’t mine or the one that I specifically want to use. Part of that comes from having my favorite pens stolen by him, and the other part is that I’m a lefty and only certain pens are comfortable for me to use for writing.

I’m not quite as bad as the guy in this video, but to Chris – who immediately went and found this video when I had him read the post I just wrote about him, I must seem this way at times:

My Pennnnnnn!!!!! You’ve got my Pen!!! At least we can laugh at each other.

BTW have you noticed that I’ve really upped the Canadian related content this week? It’s purely by accident. Kids in the Hall is of course an old Canadian program produced by Loren Michaels, a Canadian, the producer of Saturday Night Live.

Chris is a pen-kleptomaniac

May 23, 2007 by Tricia

Well, Chris got off work early today so that he could go to the Q107 radio station again today to talk with Kim Mitchell and hopefully get tickets to the 30 year reunion concert for Max Webster tomorrow night at the docks.

Before he left we had a mad hunt for a pen of all things.

Have I ever told you that as far as pens go, Chris is a kleptomaniac? If I put a pen out he steals it. It’s not like I can ever find where he’s put these lost pens either because he takes them out of the house, perhaps to work, and promptly loses them! It’s worse than the constant lose of socks in the dryer phenomena that I know many of you are familiar with.

After we found a pen, that I know I’ll never see again, I went searching for a place where I could purchase discount pens. I’m totally buying a carton of pens from this place. By carton I mean crate, like 1000 or more pens. I think if I do that we might actually have some pens to write with for a couple of months before they all magically disappear again.

I do keep a pen on my desk. Chris knows that if he uses it he must put it right back or he’ll suffer. All other pens are free game though it seems!

Now, consider yourself warned.

If you ever get a chance to meet Chris and I, HIDE YOUR PENS! Oh and if you use a lighter for any reason keep it in your pocket because the same thing happens with lighters too.

The vehicle has a face!

May 23, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

a-funny-animal-car

How cool would it be to own this vehicle?

>I think it’s a multi-animal van. You could put ears up top to complete the picture – kind of like a Mr. Potato head. Mouse ears, cat ears or even dog ears would work equally fine, I think. I suppose you could even go so far as to put the corresponding tail on the back too.

Hey look close – even the drivers and passengers seat covers have faces!

Another House Rerun?

May 22, 2007 by Tricia

Why is House a rerun this week? All the other shows have either ended or are having their finales this week and House is a rerun? The finale for House is next week?

Darn!

I’m setting up our DVR for taping. Chris isn’t home, so I’ll tape whatever shows we like and we’ll watch them when we have some time. Since House is a rerun it turns out that I’m not taping very much at all tonight.

Oh I don’t know if I ever mentioned this. I’m not writing the Watching House blog anymore.

I wasn’t really getting anything out of it. It was really frustrating to try to write a post that had something to do with the TV show five days a week when it was in reruns for two months through the winter. I just couldn’t see how I’d make it through the summer that way. It was also making me almost hate to watch the show. House went from being one of my favorite shows to something that was truly a “chore” to watch.

Now I’m getting back into it, but I’m still in analyze mode. There are more medical mistakes on that show than any of the other major medical dramas on TV.

My one and only trip to Disney Land

May 22, 2007 by Tricia

I just realized that it’s my youngest nieces birthday this Friday! Ahhh she lives on the other side of the country! I can’t possibly get a gift to her in time! I hate it when I miss a birthday.

I was reminded of her birthday when I got an email from my brother. They’re going to take a little vacation at the end of the month since their girls will be finished school. They’re going to travel to Florida and stay in an Orlando vacation rental. It’s almost right beside Disney Land and they plan to spend some time at Disney land going on the rides and seeing the sites. They haven’t been there since their kids were pretty young, and now that the girls are getting older this might be their last time to go as a family.

The only time I’ve been to Disney Land was about 10 years ago. I went to Florida to see some friends that I’d met through my work with reptiles. It was truly a reptilian vacation. We hit every zoo that had reptiles in all of Florida! Which means the only place I went to at Disney land was Discovery Island! LOL

When I was in Florida that time, much of the northern part of the state was on fire. I was staying in the Tampa area and the air was just full of smoke. It was June too, so it was pretty darn hot. Not the best time of year to visit Florida.

I wonder how my brother and his family are going to like Florida in June!
