Top Ten of +45C


Well, I have been complaining a lot about the heat here for the last few days, while friends from Canada, try to convince me it's better than -35... As complaining can get seriously annoying for people - I've decided to tell you the top 10 perks of a sizzling +45C (113F).



1. You get to brag that "we haven't had a heat wave like this since 1903!" I would think most of them would have died back then...I would think...

2. Laundry dries on the line in 15 min. (at night)

3. No one lingers after church to chat - honestly WHO likes that?

4. Cool things happen to stuff in cars... (Did you know...Bank Cards melt...gum melts...lip balm... food, shoes, etc)

5. Your floor and cupboards gets cleaned - (cause when you open a hot pop bottle [soft drink] it explodes everywhere...)

6. You get to go swimming lots - in the lake where they found the dead person 3 years ago.

7. You don't have to do garden work. Because it's dead, and so is your lawn, and your trees - If it's hot, water is the solution - if you have it and it's not a DROUGHT! +45 would NOT feel so bad if I could run thru a sprinkler on the lawn...or lay in one.

8. You're skin is always moisturized - because you LIVE in sunscreen, and you don't have to bring a sweater [jumper] anywhere you go... You just won't need one.

9. Weight loss! You eat less cause you're hot!

10. You BBQ lots cause the oven is too hot! mmmm BBQ!!!! That REALLY IS a perk!!!

Maybe +45 isn't so bad - maybe...

Haha Ange..I don't think I'm convinced that there's perks to that kind of heat. I am not a fan of winter but at least you can bundle up. When it's hot you can only take off so much and even then it doesn't do a whole lot! Way to look for the positive though hehe :)

Okay. So I don't want to be sweltering in that kind of heat, either. But I still can't feel TOO sorry for you guys when we're freezing our butts off here! :P
(Although, I can't even complain today - it's only minus 2!!)

i would hate it. but i would love to be with you. and find melted shoes, and clean up pop, and swim in the dead guy lake, anything just to be with you....

but i'd be really grumpy 'cus when i'm pregnant and it's hot i get mad at lamps, and rocks, and things in my way... so... i'd still rather be with you because you would make me laugh.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
