blah

I am officially now navigating the system as someone who has had a vehicle stolen.
Sucks.
I have been asked lots and lots of questions...to the point where I am wondering if I am the criminal? Seriously.
Are you positive the vehicle would not have been re-possesed?
Who else drove the vehicle?
Do you have any suspects?
Are you sure you did not lend it out to someone and forgot? (Wha?)
At one point on the phone with the adjuster yesterday I actually said "Look...I have being paying insurance premiums for 20 years. I have never once made a claim...you have my authorization to look at my records. This is WHY I pay those premiums...for when bad things happen!!"
Get a grip!! I know...I know....they are doing their job...but really...
I have also officially started back into my training regime. I did a bike ride on Monday...a P90X workout Monday night...a solid run Tuesday...before I noticed I HAD NO TRUCK!!! At least I had a good run...
Talked to Coach Justin yesterday and he reminded me I have a half marathon coming up in a few weeks AND a 100km bike ride the weekend after. No problem. He keeps also reminding me we should be building on this fitness and not letting it go so next year is a great one!! Okay...Okay...I am officially back on the training wagon!!

faaaaak

My Subaru was stolen last night.
Out of our locked garage.
The shit heads who stole it broke the window, opened the big garage door, and drove it out into the alley. I am so super annoyed I could spit. I have no vehicle and have to rely on rides from everyone for a bit. Faaaaak....
The postives are these:
--My kids were so excited for the police officer to come to the house. Luke offered up crackers, grapes and juice. They got some super cool police stickers!!
--The police officer was super good looking in his little police uniform.
--The Subaru had less than a quarter tank of gas. Not much to get far.
--The officer said they will likely find it in the next few days, and it will likely be trashed...what the fuck...why??
Today has really sucked so far. And it is not even noon yet. I called my sister in Calgary and of course her great sense of humour made me laugh because she says "Well, at least it wasn't on a Monday, because that would have been REALLY shitty!!!"
On a lighter side of things...I heard a funny word the other day...dohment...One of those slap your forehead moments when you realise that you've just done something incredibly stupid.

Pretend You're....

A Kung Foo Fighter

Underwater

Asleep

Sharing a secret

Driving a Race Car

Falling out of the boat

Trying to fart...not sure about Luke's face in this one...

Trying to get out of something you did that was bad...

the lull before the storm

I'm in a lull.
I don't feel like doing anything.
And I haven't done anything. Every night this week, I have sat my ass down on the couch and watched tv. Gah!
Dude.
I never watch tv.
And I have slept in to 7:30am every day this week.
Been awesome!!
Matthew and I had an intense game of Junior Scrabble the other night...I was even too lazy to read the instructions so we kind of made the game up as we went along. By the way he cheats. He turns the letters over to see which ones he is getting before he picks them. And Luke cheats at Trouble because he can't count quite yet...I am raising cheaters!!
Nothing is new.
Nothing.
The world is swirling around me but I have nothing real exciting going on. That will all come soon enough in September when school and other activities start up again.
On the agenda for the weekend?
Nothing.
It's gonna be awesome!!
