So I've been playing with my hula hoop.

I'm not particularly coordinated, so this makes it quite entertaining.

I'm sure I'm going to be pretty sore tomorrow. T.T

The people on the internet say arnica lotion is good for bruises and soreness. Maybe I'll hit up Annie Kay's for some.

I figured out a way to get the hoop from my waist to above my boobs (damn near impossible), so now my back is going to be a bit grumbly tomorrow. According to the internet, endowed people can get it up there, but it's seeming like it's not gonna go up on its own. Ammre has a nice tutorial, but it's not helping.

I also figure that I eventually could use a smaller hoop, mine is at the larger end of the recommended sizes. I figure if I keep with my large-ish noobhoop, then I can make my own variously sized hoops later on.

Hooping isn't for people who like to have nails, i seem to have broken at least three. :/ Probably time to cut them anyway.

I finally got my accounts set up for my job (after almost two weeks, and they came to me about the job!), so tomorrow I plan on finishing up my n00blabs and starting calls on friday

I need to go file my nails.

On a plus, it appears that I've been gifted a nice sum of money, so I don't feel so bad blowing 40 dollars at the street fair with 25 of it on the hoop. I still need to make a phone call, though.

A few weeks ago I went to K-mart, and saw a marble run for sale. They had small kits, then a medium kit, and when I went yesterday to get the medium kit, they had a huuuuge kit for only five dollars more. So I bought the huuuuge kit. Dave and I sat around like little kids, building things and knocking them over. We're such losers. I've got pictures of some of the runs we built, perhaps I'll put them on later. I forgot to mention: It came with bells! :D

Before we went to Kmart, we went to the street fair. I ended up spending a good chunk of money, but that's alright. I got a hula hoop that I'd been wanting, some awesome 3-d stickers, ridiculously tasty nuts, and a sammich. We went back for more nuts, that's how tasty they were.

There's a hooping group that meets at 11a on Sundays and 3p on Fridays. I was going to try to go today, but I couldn't wake up. I feel bad, Dave and I set our alarms for 9.30, and didn't get up, so his snooze kept going off. :/

Oh well, I can always skip out of work early on Friday and go. I'll have to put a picture of the hoop up as well. It's pretty nifty, a fuchsia/magenta color with white camo at different points around it. One day I'll learn myself some tricks.

So Dave's mom and sister came down for the week. I baked his mom a cake, because it was her birthday, and she was saying she wanted a cake.

The cake stuck to the pan, so I had to cut off a third of it. :/ It was still a tasty and awesome cake, just... smaller than I'd wanted it to be. At least it rose and wasn't flat like Dave's.

We went to a drive through safari before she left. Even though there weren't any pets allowed, his sister snuck her yorkie along in the car.

She treats the dog like it's a child and can't take care of itself... I'm pretty sure dogs knew how to stay cool/etc before people came along... oh well.

His sister took pictures of everything, and there were ridiculously cute baby ostriches and rheas. They were so tiny and fluffy! There was a baby pig as well, but I think the baby birds were much cuter.

We couldn't get a bucket of food, because Dave is a killjoy and his mom didn't want the bucket of food either. Oh well, that's ok, I still had fun.

We went to the gift shop afterwards (yes, I'm a kid, I love gift shops) and I bought a stuffed moose. I have a creepy soft spot for stuffed mooses. I also bought Dave a keychain, because I felt kinda bad that I mentioned the drive-through safari and was play-whining about how I wanted to go.

Firstly. Everyone's heard about the "self-proclaimed pedophile" who posts about watching children on the internet, and how everyone wants him arrested because it's creepy, but he's not doing anything illegal.

Has anyone paused to consider the origin of the suffix -phile? It usually implies that someone is fond of something. It's like -phagy, for eating. The prefix pedo- means child.

So he's a guy who likes children. He hasn't said anything about being sexually attracted to them (that I'm aware of), just that he likes to watch them. Yeah, he says he'd bang kids if it were legal. That's rather like me saying I'd do hardcore drugs if it were legal, or kill someone if it were legal. I'd seriously smoke pot if it were legal. Whoa. (not seriously)

If you think about it, pediatricians, teachers, daycare workers, and any other childcare professional is usually a pedophile, they do their work because hrm. They like children. Probably not in a sexual manner, but nonetheless. People seem to fail to realize that way back when, kids were banging and knocked up at younger ages. We've stretched out emotional development, so I'm sure kids of way back when were like adults of now.

Secondly, Dave is watching Dog the bounty hunger.

You'd think, that having a TV show, he'd be able to buy his wife a bra that fits. She looks so ... trashy and unkempt, with her bra being god only knows how many sizes too small. She needs to talk to Oprah.

I made rice krispie treats with peanut butters. I used a bit too much peanutbutters, though, so they're more like crunchy peanutbutter treats. Maybe I can drizzle some melted chocolate over them.

They're still tasty, though.

I bought a lottery ticket, won 10 dollars. :D Makes up for the past few times where I've maybe won a dollar after spending two or three.

I had a coupon for b1g1 @ Ben & Jerry's, I got an oatmeal cookie/chocolate chunk ice cream. It's too tasty for it's own good. It was $3.83 for a "regular" serving of it, which is about half the size of a $2.99 pint that you can buy in a store. I'll stick to buying the 3 dollar pint.

I'm whoring my blog, because I am awesome. Actually, it's because I want to win a 24" monitor.

I have to write a blog post with the words/phrases "make money" and "hosting Canada", and link to the contest post. Which has been done.

Now that I've cheapened my entry by listing the things I have to do... I'll write a sentence using "contest", "hosting Canada", and "make money".

Once upon a time, I entered this awesome contest. After entering this contest, I went for a walk. I met a horned yeti with blue fur, who told me that his job was hosting Canada. He has to make sure that Canadians have a place to stay, as well keep their websites. Such a unique job, I thought, it must be a great way to make money! Indeed, the yeti agreed with me, he said it was the best job in the world. I set out about my way, wishing the blue-furred horned yeti well.
