Okay, so before I left for work yesterday I did this big long blog post about the current Swine Flu scare - I thought it was this really smart, insightful take on how the media is generating panic about something that might really not be as dangerous as everyone is making it out to be, and how "we" might just be looking for something to panic over and worry ourselves with. Turns out I'm not the smart cookie I thought I was, 'cause I didn't wait to save it before hitting "post" and for some reason instead of posting it, it was completely erased! Now I'm not really in the mood to try and remember everything I originally wrote down, so I thought it was time for a good old dose of randomness instead!! Here goes:
* Saw Hugh Jackman on Oprah yesterday - does he not seem like the nicest, most down-to-earth guy? And sooo funny how Oprah was completely gushing over him the whole time
* I'm getting over a week-long stomach flu - I can't even count the number of people who have said "ohhh, maybe you're pregnant!!" Nope - definitely not pregnant. Not that I wouldn't be excited if we were, but we're going to wait another couple of years before we go down that road
* Our house was without power for a day and a half last weekend. It wasn't too bad as it was warm out and I could go to the store to get some food, but it really made me think about how we're so tied to "the grid" and how much trouble we would all be in if something really terrible happened and we were all without power for a sustained period of time
* I had a big jerky Mc. Jerksters at the store last night. He was upset that we were closing at 10pm and that he and his girlfriend couldn't keep shopping. Umm, we're open for 12 hours a day buddy, it's not my problem you decide to start your shopping at 9:55pm
* I'm a little obsessed with the new Kelly Clarkson CD - 90% of the tracks on it are awesome and single-worthy
* How great is it that Spring is here and everything is blooming? I live for warm weather and am counting down the days 'till I can hit the beach!
* Why is it that the older I get, the less intimidated I get of people and the less I care about what people think of me, but every once and awhile I have an encounter with someone that makes me feel really self-conscious?
* I signed up for Twitter to see what it was, but I still don't really understand what it's purpose is and what the big deal is. I think it's a fad that won't hang around for too long
* Watched "Bride Wars" the other night and loved the wedding dress that Kate Hudson's character wore at the end. I spent the rest of the night looking through all of my wedding pics and reminisceing about how great of a day it was, and how rockin' my dress was! Also totally excited about my sister's wedding at the end of June - I am currently the "guardian" of her dress, and it is stunning!!
* I miss Dave Devall doing the weather on CTV - it's just not the same without him!
* Why is it that "going green" always seems so much more expensive? I really want Chris and I to be more eco-friendly, I just don't know if we can afford it!
* I'm really enjoying being 29. I think it suits me well (although I admit I think I'll always be a perpetual 24 year old)
Alright - that's it for now. My next post will probably be another Uganda trip update, so stay tuned!
