Yesterday officially began Tim Horton's 2007 Roll up the Rim season. Yesterday was a day full of hope and anticipation. I have great expectations for this Roll up the Rim season, as last year was quite dissapointing. I finished the season with a win ratio of 0 for 33. I will do better this year. I anticipate my total coffee count to be much lower this time around, but my wins count will be off the chart. Trust me. The odds of winning are 1 in 9. I have to catch up after last year.
Roll up the Rim count thus far: 0 for 2.

Oh what a week!
Well, what a week I just had! John-Mark and I had friends from CLBI/ Edmonton come and visit for the week. It was a lot of fun! Chris and Lindsay came late Sunday night, and left on Friday morning. We made it out to Vancouver and Harrison, as well as spending time at such grand places as Grab-a-Java, and Sevenoaks mall. We stayed up late, got up early, and I dont know about anyone else, but I was TIRED! (actually, Im pretty sure John-Mark was worn out too, by the end of it all). I went to bed at 9:30 last night, after working all day, and I found it rather difficult to get up this morning when my alarm sounded at 8:45. So, I got up at 9:30 instead. Anyways, I should probably think about getting dressed and ready for church, seeing as though I have to elave in fifteen minutes. Oh what a morning!

I'm Gettin' Hitched...Yeehaw
Okay, but seriously, John-Mark asked me to marry him, and I said yes.
It was Saturday at 2pm. I got off work, and walked to my car, to find that there was man in my car. I was a little bit alarmed, but then, I noticed that it was a familiar man. It was John-Mark. He drove me to a creek that we had been to once before. It is also a place that I used to go to with my dad when I was a little girl. We took a blanket and sat down to do a crossword that he had printed off of the internet. This is fairly normal, as we routinely do crosswords together. As it turns out, he had doctored the crossword to contain certain advantageous words. At the bottom of the page, there was a fill in the blank kind of like, 32A + 12D + 25D... and it spelled out the words "will ewe merry me Cassy" (Cassy was the most suspicious answer in the puzzle). And the rest, well, is history. We are thinking that we will get married in August, likely on the 18th.
So thats my good story of the weekend.

Dead ant tag?
Okay, so, Ive been tagged, and since I really have nothing better to do (except maybe go to bed), I figure Ill give it a shot. Here are 5 random things about me.
1. Im not sure how it all came about, but one day a few years ago, Celia called me creepy, and that idea just kind of snowballed. Since then I have accumulated many simalar nicknames from a variety of people, such as, but not limited to, little creepy, creep, the creepiest, and creepsack. I think creepsack is my favourite. To defend myself, I am not actually creepy.
2. I am afraid of raccoons. To the point where if I see one, I am known to run inside, shut the door, and jump in my bed, conciously aware of every creak, squeak, and noise that could be the raccoon coming to attack me.
3. I love getting my hair cut, but I have never had short hair. I guess I just restrain myself.
4. TVs that have the sound turned all the way down creep me out. I can even tell if there is a TV on with no sound in the next room without even having to see it. The creepiness seeps through the walls. Hey, theres a good new nickname, Her Creepiness. It has a certain royal air to it... feel free to use it as much as you want.
5. When I was a kid, I hated all "kid foods". I didnt like hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries, macaroni, or whipped cream. When we went out to eat, my mom would order me a side of mushrooms. I also enjoyed liver, brussel sprouts, and other such typically yucky things that I now dislike. Go figure.
So there it is, now I am going to tag Troy, and Sarah Walsh.

Retraction
I am writing a retraction upon being informed that my previous post had left out important details. I have been told (and now remember) the actual course of events while in the car wash. First, I drove too far forward with my window open and got sprayed. Then, I reversed, and got sprayed again before finally closing my window and turning off my engine. I apologise for my previous error.
Checkmark!
Today was a big day. A really big day, even. I acomplished a life goal. This one has been on my list for quite a few years. I am going to document the entire event, because it was quite incredible, really. I went through a car wash. The automatic kind. It was exciting. This is how it happened. First, John-Mark and I went to a gas station with a car wash, but it didnt work. So, we went to a different one. I went in to the store and paid $5 for a little token. Then, I drove Wilfred up to the coin slot, opened my window, and put the coin in. The light turned green, so I drove up to the line/bar thingy, and drove right over it. Oops. So I reversed a little. As I was doing this, water came pouring in through my still half-open window, getting my lap rather soggy, and causing my amused co-pilot to laugh at me. So I closed my window, got into position, and the car wash went to work. It was thrilling and invigorating. It feels so good to cross a life goal off of the list. And in the end? Wilfred is clean, waxed, and shiny, and I have since dried.
I have also concluded that, as far as non-fat vanilla lattes go, Grab-a-Java makes much better ones than Starbucks.
