Snacks & Sleepiness

Chocolate covered almonds (the ones you buy to donate to parapeligic society)
Chips (Lays BBQ or Jalapeno)
Ice cream (with cake)
Gin & Tonic (when the sun is shining out there, so I pretend it's summer again)
Coconut bun (although I am almost at the point of over dosing)
Grapefruit cider...(reminds me of sitting with my mom in the front patio)

Listed above are some of the things I crave around 3pm everyday while I am at work, trying not to look at the clock. At this point I am in awe at how sleepy I am and how irritating and loud the ringing of the phone is. My head definetly weighs heavier than 8 pounds right now.

Afternoon sleepiness is a hazard to the office community. I know when I get instructions to do anything at this point I feel like that crazy caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland saying "Who....are you...........?" I said "Whooooooooo are you?

Our chubby & cute pomeranion dog Rosie is even experiencing the afternoon lull. Contrary to popular belief, "Afternoon sleepiness does not result from consuming a large meal". In Rosie's case it is.

Anyway...off I go for another cup of Maxwell House office style coffee.

It's not easy being green.

So Brett & Mike treated me to my 1st live football game. I was excited as if I was going to a GAP sale. My pregame concern was what to wear. I wanted to look sporty you know - fit for the stands of a Lions Football game. I wore a bright green jersey top with a pair jeans and my new cream colored hat! I was very happy with it.

When we got to the game I knew it was gonna be as exciting as I anticipated. People were waving around flags, cheering, dressed in football jerseys in our home team colors - black & orange (I wished I had something orange to wear). But I also noticed a lot of people wearing bright green, just like my top, so I was secretly thinking hey...this green color is probably a cool football color until some guy draped in a green flag, with a green face gives me a thumbs up and yells "Go ROUGH RIDERS!!"

What? Who are they? Then like a black cloud coming over me...I realized that I am wearing the color of the opposing team. The Saskatchewan Rough Riders. Not that I have anything against Saskatchewan, my Grandma is from there. But really I am definetly more of a Vancouverite and very proud of it. So as I was sitting there, I see eyes of local fans glaring at me while I keep mouthing - I'm just wearing the wrong color, hehe.

The game was fantastic! Touchdown on the 1st minute. We were on fire!!! We had a few minutes left and Saskatchewan scores 22 points in less then 3 minutes putting them in the lead. Green fans were ectatic! and I was feeling even more green. Enough is enough. I took off my green jersey and decided to just wear the white shirt I had on underneath. I felt better instantly. And apparently so did the Lions cause they scored a 90 yard touchdown with only half a minute left, giving us a thrilling 40-38 victory over the rough riders!
