Blog-eminiscing

It's a lazy Sunday afternoon, the weather sucks, and so I was just killing time on my computer and I thought to myself, I would really like to save my blogs so that I don't loose my posts over time. Next thing you know, I am reading blogs I wrote in 2004 out loud to Tom and we are well on our way down memory lane. I actually totally appreciate reading my old random blog posts because they remind me of things I had totally forgotten. Like the time I dreamt I married my friend Jenn instead of Tom---haha! Or the time I went sledding in -40 right when I moved to Saskatchewan and thought Saskatoon was the arctic. Oh, the memories. Not only that, but reading my old blogs brings me back to times that seem long gone (like the time I wrote about having tea with my grandma -- who has been gone for some time now). Or the time that I wrote about our 'new computer' in 2005 when we got our Acer. That computer is ancient now and long gone, but as Tom commented, it cost us about the same as the computer he is looking to buy right now. It made my smile how I commented about us having to put our old computer in the fridge to cool it down. And then there's the comments about baby's born, and how I won the Baby pool! Those kids are like 5-6 now---scary!! Well, not scary actually, because life is good and we should really be thankful for each passing day. It's this weird thing in our society that we fear getting older. But I guess that's because if this life is all there is, then you might want to crap your pants when it's over. Good thing I don't believe that this life is all there is. Nope, not for one moment. And that's why when I think about turning 30 this year, or the fact that living in Saskatoon was 4 years ago, it doesn't freak me out. It just makes me thankful.

Afternoon Tea in London

Last week my friend Stefanie and I went to London for the day. It was a day full of many unexpected funny moments. We did end up having afternoon high tea in a great hotel (2 for 1!) and even though at one point a huge dinosaur drove by on the street, we had a lovely time eating way to many little sandwiches and scones. Good conversation too, the high point being a discussion in which Stefanie said about Jesus, "Umm, I really don't see Him being a Mac guy" (the whole conversation began because apparently the guy across from us looked like Jesus and was on a Mac). We also witnessed a woman asking a police officer to pose with a toy platypus (and he actually complied!). Then we went down to Oxford Circus--which is just a mistake, because it's swarming with people nonstop all the time...insane, not worth trying to shop there in my opinion!!

London is a crazy place, but I love it. Not to live, just to visit. Covent Garden is one of my favorite places in the city...tons of unique stuff and just a great area to wander around. There is so much more to write about London, and especially our day last week, but I have to go make dinner now.
