I’m lookin’ for some great websites for doing some Christmas shopping online. Any suggestions? The ones I’ve been to that I love are airmilesshops.ca, crateandbarrel.com, thestockingstufferstore.com, www.thehungersite.com….ya, there’s so many. Still looking for more. Any ideas?

Kelowna has been great. So much relaxation it’s ridiculous. The weird thing here is that it starts getting dark at like 3:30pm (they’re 2 hours behind us), but it starts getting light at like 6:30am. Weird hey? Ya, so I’ve got a couple more days here and they’ll be great, I can just tell. And then it’s back to reality…I much prefer the Kelowna unreality 
Poor Greg…stuck at home looking after reality without me.
Goin’ to Kelowna November 19, 2007
I’m just sitting in the Calgary Airport right now…on my way to Kelowna!! For my 30th birthday Jacqui sacrificed many airmiles and some cash to give me a trip to see her. So here I go! I don’t know why, but it seems like on my way there I always have a 2-3 hour wait at the Calgary Airport, which sucks. Oh well, life could definitely be worse! However, it is somewhat torturous watching all the happy people going to Cuba and Mexico walk around with their fake tans and flip flops. Nothing like a hot holiday.
House Church? November 16, 2007
Every Sunday morning at 10:00 cars start pulling up to a house across the street. The people getting out of the cars are all dressed up. Then, an hour later, people get back into their cars and drive away. The same thing happens on Wednesday evenings. I totally think these people have a house church happening. I wonder if they’d mind if I just showed up one Sunday morning in my church duds and invited myself to their church. This has been going on for the 4 years that we’ve lived in this house, and it’s totally intriguing to me. One time Greg actually thought that some guy in a car was stalking us one Sunday morning, so he knocked on the guy’s window to see what he was doing. The guy was reading his Bible waiting for church! How do these people keep this thing going, and what do they do over there? Maybe this Sunday I’ll spy…
Spiders November 10, 2007
Ok, here’s something that I really would like to know. I’ve got questions people. Has anyone else out there noticed that spiders eventually seem to leave their legs behind? As in – they live in their web for a while…show up every night…and then one night all that’s there is their legs. I don’t understand what happens. Does a bigger spider eat them? Or do they just die and their bodies fall off and leave their legs behind?? You might think I’m crazy, but I’ve observed a LOT of spiders do this over my 30 years of life and I just can’t handle it anymore. Found another set of legs in a web last night….
Book Exchange Reminder November 9, 2007
Just a quick reminder to everyone that I’m having a book exchange tomorrow at about 1:30. Bring all of the books you don’t want anymore, check out other people’s books, and at the end of it I’ll take the remaining books to a charity. If you want to participate just let me know!
Jackie’s Brain is Fried November 5, 2007
Today has been weird. I spent all morning with an accountant going over my work at the place I do the bookkeeping at. Fine…no problem. Then I came home and found out all of my clients for today cancelled, which is a good thing today. So I pulled out some books for this theology class that I was at about a month ago…gotta do the major paper. I just totally snapped because I’ve been reading sentences like this all afternoon: “To the pneumatic deindividualization of Christ there corresponds ecclesiologically a pneumatically mediated constituting of the church by Christ.” HUH??? That sentence was the final straw and I just got ticked. And then I had to laugh because…well just because. I have no fricking clue what that sentence means, and I’m pretty sure that’s ok… Just PLEASE no more sentences like this today!

Tonight I get to look after a kid who is 2.5 years old. I love this age. Why? Because these kids are fun, they love to learn, and you can basically do anything and they’ll be really interested. They love to help cook, clean, do laundry…they don’t care!! Just be excited about it and they’ll be excited about it too. Ok, so this comes from a non-parent, and this is specifically about THIS kid and not necessarily all kids. I just thought I’d try to sound like I know something about kids for a second! Anyway, I love coloring and Playdough, and therefore I gotta go find all of this stuff before the kid gets here. Oh ya – we’re also going to eat chicken nuggets and Smiles. Do I seem too excited about this? Well maybe that’s because I’m 30 now, and if I just did all of this stuff tonight by myself (which I would totally do) I’d seem like a freak. So now I have a great excuse to do what I love and not seem like a freak
