my new shoes

so i decided today that i would need a new pair of walking shoes for all the walking around London that i am going to do. So off i go to find a sports store in Georgetown, like a SportsChek or Athletes World - - - well blast me, there are none in Georgetown, didnt feel like driving to Milton or Brampton so ended up at Winners. Who knew you could buy Nike Walking Shoes for under $60 at Winners!

So i am making my poor hubby look at all sorts of pictures on the internet of where i will be going - imagine how he is going to feel when i come back with 2000 or more pictures. Dont even know if my computer could hold them all - hmmmm, may have to buy a new computer to load the photos on!

So tried to cancel Deans ticket today cos he cant go due to work layoff - holy crap the runaround you get - we paid for the insurance, it cost $100, so why can we just not cancel! No, we have to fill out paperwork, get a letter from his work, prove that he is laid off, holy shit, I feel like we are buying a bloody house just to get OUR MONEY BACK.

I have to work the Friday that I am leaving, so hopefully i can get real tired at the staff retreat so that i can sleep on the plane. I am claustraphobic and am only good for about 4 hours on a plane before i get antsy. God forbid the person sitting next to me if i start to get the fidgets. Never mind that I also smoke - gotta find myself some good drugs (legal ones of course) that will let me sleep for 6 hours of the 7 hour flight. Cos I have a hard time sleeping on a plane or in a car - that is why I will never get to Australia, you would have to drug me and keep me under for the whole trip.

So my 2 boys were away all weekend, Brady at Linzis and Kyle in PA at a race. Brady is so great with his littlie cousins that they hate it when he leaves, but i think Linzi is relieved cos she doesnt have to feed him anymore! The boy eats non stop. Kyle came home a bit battered and bruised, and has def torn something in his shoulder, but this was really the last big race of the season and he has lots of time to heal.

So this weekend is very important, it si the Tim DaSilva Celebration of Life Race. Timmy was one awesome kid. He was my bmxson and I loved him like my own, would have done anything for him - and he would have done anything for me as well. We lost him on July 15, 2006 and this is the third annual event. We all come together and celebrate the man he was.

Then I have to start seriously thinking abot packing and what I am going to take to UK with me - it is very expensive over there, so want to make sure i take everything i need with me! Debs has decorated the room for me, and got the vodka in already so will be a good time for sure! lots of vodka, fun, laughing and stories.

The countdown is on . . . . . 11 more sleeps!
