Sometimes I connect words, events, etc in such a unique way that when I try to express myself, people just don't get me. It happens all the time!
People don't understand that when I say something, I said it because it doesn't make sense, or it is stupid, or because it is taking it too far. That was the whole point of me saying it and people just don't get that.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone tries to finish my sentence or my thought for me. Most of the time, they are no where close to what I was actually trying to say. A lot of the time, my thought was way more profound than how they finished my thought for me. It is very frustrating. Sometimes it takes me longer to express myself because I am trying to find the words that will help people understand the connection I am making. But most of the time, the connection is so unique that only I understand it anyway.
Sometimes I wonder if I will ever meet someone who completely gets me but I have come to the realization that I don't think anyone will. And I guess I have to get used to the idea that people will continue to just completely misunderstand me.

Don't put off today...
I took the week off work to get some work done around my house. My main goal is to clean and organize my house (going through drawers, closets, etc). Today was my first day off work. I got some cleaning and organizing done but I probably could have gotten more done if I hadn't got my passport renewed, picked up some groceries and towed away my car (sniffle).
Yesterday morning when I went to start my car it would not start. I tried plugging it in but even that did not help it start. Since it still was not starting today, I got it towed away to the dealership. Hopefully it will not cost me all that much....(sigh).

who am I?
I am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I have been taking personality tests to figure that out.
I have figured out I am INFP on Meyers Briggs and Type 4 on Enneagram. Now I just have to figure out what that means.
lol

a sunday drive through the country
On a Wednesday!
We decided that we were going to drive out to the country today and just look around. We were going to go to the one town but ended up not being able to exit (as it was under construction). We ended up at a completely different place. We started randomly turning with not too much thought to direction. We ended up at another town and wondered around for a bit. I ended up getting a new band for my watch (I desperately needed a new band) and it now looks like a completely different watch.
We had lunch in this small town (it was really good too). And then we went to heaven...or at least my idea of heaven. We went to a used book store! I found lots of books....but only bought 4. I had to think about how I would get them home...
After (somehow) doing some more random turns we ended up back in the city.
I wish there was more to say (but alas there is not).
Except...

there's something about...
Ikea!
Today we went shopping first thing in the morning. We grabbed some essentials and then it was off to Ikea (for some fun). Fortunately, (I believe) I have been able to keep my spending habits under control. I did not buy too much at Ikea (but may have bought more if I did not have to pack it to bring back home). Although (I believe) I am practical and probably would have restrained myself anyway. But to just think of everything I would buy if I had a bigger house...(sigh).
My biggest purchases were for a couple of girls who start with the letter A (to celebrate their new rooms). I am hoping I can fit everything in my suitcase. (why did I pack so much?)
The sad (and tragic) news from today is that my purse broke. Alas, I will need to use some crazy glue to repair it. (sigh)
I also did laundry (quite exciting) and watched Up.
What will tomorrow bring? (Probably either stuff in the country or canoeing)

Oh Canada (Day)
Yesterday we went to Fallowfield and picked strawberries. C now has lots (and lots and lots) of strawberries. Then we came home and washed them (and ate some as well). When we were in the patch picking strawberries, the Snowbirds flew by above us. It was very Canadian (and strawberries are even red).
We decided to head over to Parliament Hill after supper to take in some of the entertainment. We stayed for a couple of hours but left before the fireworks. However, we did not miss seeing fireworks as there were tons of fireworks being set off around us. It was quite the sight...
The very first year C was in her house, we went to PEI. We ended up coming back from PEI on July first. We went downtown in the afternoon and took in some of the street performers (etc) that were downtown. Unfortunately it started to rain - not just rain but pour. So we ran into the nearest restaurant for something to eat. It was a 2 hour wait (as it was in the other restaurants in that area). We waited and then ate. Afterwards it was still raining so we decided to skip the Parliament Hill entertainment and go home. Imagine our surprise when the city of Nepean set off their fireworks display right outside our door. It was a beautiful sight!
Unfortunately they no longer set it off right there but...we were still able to see fireworks.

a lasagne day
This morning we had bacon, eggs, and toast around 10:30. We did not have lunch (although snacked a bit in the afternoon).
We also made both chocolate lasagne and normal lasagne for supper. We had a guest this evening for supper and he seemed to enjoy it a lot. (We also had garlic toast and caesar salad.)
After supper (but before dessert), we played a game (Forget the name). It was alright for awhile but I got bored and just wanted someone to win. (Our guest did.) Then we had chocolate lasagne and played another game. (it was much more fun and over quickly.)
We have some leftovers for the week - it is good.
The last few nights we have had fireworks set off around the house. Tonight they were right on the street (and really noisy). We will see what happens tomorrow night.
The car does not have air conditioning. Yesterday was a cooler day and I did not notice too much but today was warmer. Since we were not in the car too long, all was well.
