Hello-
Yes, it's me. And yes, it has been a while.
Where have I been?
I don't have to justify myself to you people.
I'm a busy woman. Or just lazy.
Yes, it has been quite some time since I've ragged on anyone, but what can you do? It's not that I haven't had people annoy me.
No, no.
I've just been busy.
Sooooooooo....
Work's been crazy...between next week and the first week in February I will be speaking with over 2,400 kids in grade 6, 7 and 8. Yeah, I've been a little crazy lately.
What else?
Annie and I went to go see Dane Cook at the ACC. Interesting evening, lots of fun. Lots of popped collars, backwards baseball caps and smug reflections.
The videos are popping up on YouTube.com, so I'll upload a few.
What else?
I went to the Royal Winter Fair last week with my Dad and my grandparents. Fun times, that mostly had me in the middle. Literally. Most of the day had my dad going in one direction with his camera positioned at any thing that moo'ed, nay'ed or clucked. And then Papa went off in another direction. And grandma would follow Papa, so she wouldn't lose him.
About the Royal Winter Fair. I have some suggestions.
1. Lower prices. Come on. It was way too expensive, and when my dad pays my ticket I feel a slight indignity is being done to him. Slight.
2. Get rid of the stupid booths. Do you need a rhinestone pantsuit? Perhaps a crappy oil painting of a sheep dog? Or maybe you want the newest booklet on a Ford truck? No? Then maybe some figurines? No? Ok, some coupons? No? Just take the coupon. Seriously, it's good for a year. I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN COUPONS I JUST WANT TO SEE A FREAKING HORSE.
3. Ban strollers, except if there's a child in it. And if you have a kid put them in the damn stroller. That's why you have a stroller. To confine your kid. Not walk slowly in front of me. That makes me want to punch you in the back of the head.
4. Maps. Could you make those available? Please. It was ridiculous.
5. Stop selling food by the piles of cow dung. The only thing that was more disgusting than that is the thought of eating fast food next to a pile of crap. Although I did chuckle when I saw the little girl petting the pig with one hand and eating the hotdog with the other. Hahahaha.
6. Move to damn butter sculptures to an easier location to find and put up signs. You people know that one of the only reasons I go. So I can see a dairy creation. When we asked 'Information' where there were they said we were '...like the 19th customer to ask'. Well, if there are so many people who don't know where it is...MAYBE THAT'S A CLUE, DUMB ASS.
All in all lots of fun.
Yea Royal!
