Titled/Untitled

I've learned to appreciate water more. Not waste it. On wednesday I was doing dishes and the seal around the tap broke. covered me in water and hit the stove. For the rest of Wednesday, and part of Thursday I didn't have water to ONE tap in the house. I didn't eralize how much I use that tap. for rinsing off dishes, washing pots, making juice, getting water to wipe off random things, when I burn myself... and countless other things.

I've always thought I was pretty mindful with my water consumption. Timed showers, I'll even turn off the shower if i'm doing something that doesn't require a lot of water..when I'm by myself, if it's yellow, let it mellow. even when I do dishes I turn off the tap some of the time.

do I really need to wash my dishes before I wash my dishes? no. worst case scenario I should fill up the sink with water and do them like that rather than let it run. I tend to do that a lot. Especially with pots, because I don't use the dishwasher for that.
that's my mission. Stop using so much damn water!

Nails are green today. I'm starting over NOT biting them. I failed.
It's Friday. why is it the week seems so much longer when Monday's a holiday?

nothing and everything

This morning the sky looked like it was on fire. It was beautiful. That's one thing I like about waking up early. Another thing I like is getting off of work early. Really. that's it. Being here so early is making me crazy. I can't seem to get to sleep before 11:30, and waking up at 5 is SO hard. once I'm here I'm okay, but then when I get home, I have no energy to do anything. So therefore my house is a disaster most of the time.
I think I might switch to afternoons for a bit. just like 2 weeks.

hmm

I love..

Exploring new places
hanging out at heights I'm too scared to look down from
Kissing in public
when I'm right
when I get proven wrong and learn something from it
the smell outside after it rains (dirt and worms, Tim calls it)
encouraging children to misbehave by smiling at them
randomly breaking out into song
dancing
when I completely zone out in my craft room and go on a craft binge
street meat

oopsie!

I conduct the Unit meetings for my area. it's been going pretty smoothly. there's one about every three months, just to update everyone on waht's going on this quater and what happened at the executive meetings. Anyway, I am booked off for tomorrow,(wednesday) and the the hall is booked for tomorrow, as well. However- in the newsletter, the date for the meetings is Monday. (yesterday) The last 2 meetings I've conducted, no one has shown up to the 4pm meeting. this time, i think that no one will show up to the first meeting, either!

Since the last time I posted, Tim and i have pretty much planned our wntire wedding. lol. down payments on; Aeolian Hall, the Almost Hip, the guy who's doing our invitations, we've talked to the caterer, also talked to the DJ, I have the fabric for the skirt of my dress, and Tim has a clear picture of what his costume wants to look like! WOO! we've also talked to the guy that we're going to rent smoke machines from. and also some other stuff that I can't remember right now.. (we have a spreadsheet on our refrigerator)

Tim an I celebrated our 10 year anniversary :) yay! we ordered chinese food and ate it :P and other stuff, too..

We went to Fan expo this past weekend, it was AWESOME! I had a great time nerding it up with the sweetest man in the world. I know, we're lame, but we're lame together :P

that's really it for now, maybe i'll post some pictures of Fan expo in a few days. they're on Tim's parent's camera, so we have to go to their house to retrieve them.

Fireworks, anyone?

yaaaay! day 10! I know, it's lame. but it's a milestone! kind of. I did bite on day 6, so does that mean I have to go back 6 days? maybe when I reach a month, I'll go back the 6 days. It won't seem like as long then. As of right now, it's more than half of the time I've not bitten them. Tim said last night that he's gotten used to me having short nails. It's not the long nails I want. Okay, that's a total lie. I DO want long nails. Not disgustingly long, but long enough to look nice and be able to scratch Tim's back. but the thing I want most is to be able to break the habit. always having my hand in my mouth looks completely disgusting, and all the germs and bacteria that go with it? ew. I also love painting my nails. so that'll give me more space to doodle. lol.

I made some Kanzashi flower hair barrettes for Tim's friend's wife Madeleine. it was her birthday last week and last time she was at our house we were talking about girly accessories and how expensive they are. She mentioned that she was looking at some Kanzashi flower combs and they were like $20-$30. pffft. I'm crafty. a good chance for me to learn a new skill and do a friend a favour. in total they cost me about $1.30 each to make. a lot of time, but like I said, I learned a new skill, so I got something out of it. Fun!

Canada day is coming up next week. not sure if I'm going to go see fireworks or not. we'll see what Tim wants to do.

day Nine

so on day 6 I bit the ring finger on my left hand, and also the thumb on my left hand. For no other reason than I wasn't doing anything else at that moment. Boredom. day 9 is nothing though. I've gone a month before, and I actually had a free edge! (like hanging over the edge of my finger) but I had acrylics on for the first 3 weeks. so it doesn't really count. I find myself bringing my hand up to my mouth a lot, and sometimes I bite the skin around my nail. I actually WANT to stop this time though. the other times I was like "meh, maybe I should stop.." but I want to have nice, natural nails for my wedding. I'm damned determined. hopefully I'll at least make it to my 10th anniversary. that's an easier goal. it's not to say that I CAN bite after that, but it'll be a good feeling of accomplishment if I make it there. it's in a little over a month, on July 27th. they say it takes a month to break a habit, so maybe by then I won't even have the urge! I have been doing it for AT LEAST 22 years.. it's likely going to take more than a month.
I will have nice nails. I will not bite them.

Day 5

NOW I'm starting to feel it. The urge. maybe it's just because I haven't had my coffee yet. just stopped brewing. mmmmm Coffee. I have been without coffee since Friday. I did have coffee yesterday, but it wasn't in the morning, so it didn't count. I don't usually blog on the weekend. I actually don't think I've ever blogged on the weekend. I'm feeling very bloggy though. Maybe just to distract myself.

It's a beautiful day today. like I said, I've been without coffee. so this morning, when Tim left for work, I took my bike and went to the grocery store to get some. took me a half hour. there and back. nice ride.

Yesterday Tim and I went to his parent's place because Tim's mom's cousin and aunt were there. I love Tim's family. they're awesome. so cute :) Auntie Eileen is 89 this week. I'm pretty sure she's the last surviving great aunt. I thought Tim was going to cry when she said that Millie (Tim's grandma who passed about 12 years ago) would be so proud of him. He was really close to his grandma.

it's a lovely Sunday. maybe I'll try to convince Tim to go for a walk after work.
