crazy
the fact is that it is not many days until my 40th birthday. and the crazy true life story is that 3 days after this momentous day, i will be going to egypt. the land of pharaohs, pyramids, sphinxes, deserts, antiquity and much more. aaaarrrrgh!!! i'm so excited!!!!!! 39 more restless and yearning sleeps until i'm in the arms of egypt for 2 glorious and adventure filled weeks. did you know there is such a thing called the egyptian riviera?? well there is, and i will be there--snorkeling the red sea corals to my heart's content. also...climbing mount sinai in the dark for the sunrise! wu-wuuut, yeahhh. those are just 2 things that makes my heart go thumpa thumpa for this trip. cannot believe it is happening. cannot wait until it does.
i want a maxi skirt for the trip. do you think i can find one? no i cannot. it seems like this year it's all about short dresses. not cool, fashion gods, not cool.
in other news i lost my mouse for a week again. i had a sneaking suspicion that it was in the bowels of the couch and sure enough when i tipped the couch over today for a detailed inspection, i found it. first i thought i saw a hulking form of a spider, but it wasn't. then i saw a bulge in the lining of the couch at the back, against the wood border. sure enough it was my little mouse. welcome back to the land of the living mousy.
today was my 2nd time in sunday school and relief society. last week i was there with heather, and this week i was solo. it's kind of nice to have a class or two, and at the same time i miss the constant activity and singing of primary. plus i just miss those precious and pure little souls. but it was nice to sit next to my brother in sunday school and actually have lessons that make me think and want to contribute. that's nice too.
today bishop cook was released. it was an emotional sunday. he was such a great bishop. i think he's pretty special in a totally normal everyday human doing a good work to the best of their ability kind of way. he hugged me in the hall and said he liked serving with me. that was so nice. brother roeder is the new bishop, which seems totally right and special too. i already have a soft spot for him. will i get to keep him as a home teacher? i don't know. will we have to give him up as a choir director? probably. but the choir is in denial. understandable.
yesterday i did some shopping at old navy. they were having a spring break sale and so i got some good deals. also i discovered that not only does richmond center have a pink berry frozen yogurt place in the dining terrace, but a qoola downstairs. and it is not just any qoola--nonono, it is the best one i've ever had the privilege of frequenting. yes. there are so many flavours (i chose pomegranite/raspberry and peanutbutter swirl), so many toppings (such as rainbow mochi and 4 different choices of pearl), aaand they have yummy healthy sandwiches, and salads and brown rice quinoa bowl. hello. i'm going back! i sat by the fire place and ate my yolo froyo, texting to my heart's content, and also noticed another place across the way that needs to be discovered. fun.
