125. Breakfasts of Years Gone By

Remember yesterday how I said I was a kid at heart? Did I mention that I bought a box of Lucky Charms about a week or so ago? Well I bought Pop Tarts today. Not Toaster Strudels (which I also like) but those pop tarts which you put in the toaster, and then when you take them out you burn your fingers on the “icing” that gets molten hot but never gets soft, and when you bit into them you burn your tongue on the lava that is the “fruit” center. But they’re so good. I like to eat them untoasted as a snack too. Not just for breakfast, which I don’t eat. But even if I do have breakfast it’d never be these. I’d do either a bagel, toast, or a bowl of Cheerios. Or maybe eggs if it were a weekend and I was planning on staying in my jammies for a while. I can’t wait to bring a box into work and put it next to my container of what’s left of my Lucky Charms. I say what’s left of them because my brother at about 80% of them when I wasn’t looking. He has promised me a box to replace them though, so that’s good. We’ll see if he actually follows through. He did give me cookies on the weekend though. Mark your calendars people! My (25) year old brother and I were civil to each other! It’s miraculous. It’s also miraculous that I spelt that right. Go me.

-Cheers folks!

124. Kid at Heart

We had an outdoor meeting with the Brownies tonight, playing soccer on the field and then going over to the playground at one of the local elementary schools. Myself and the Ranger (young leader) were begged by the kids to show them what we could do. While all the girls went easily along the monkey bars, we were apparently too bottom heavy. Neither of us got more than 3 or 4 bars in before we fell off. Not like it was far for us though. I was able to go along the rings by grabbing the tops of the bars not the rings themselves. I don’t know why, must be completely different muscle groups. I had forgotten how much fun it was to just run around a playground, I also had forgotten just how much I miss soccer. Damned injury keeping me down.

-Cheers folks!

123. Dartmouth Lakes Area Leader’s Dinner

Tonight was the Dinner for all the leaders (and Rangers) in the area that I’m a Leader with girl Guides. It was fun, and we were out before 9pm. That was amazing.

Our district is one of the smallest in the Area, but we tend to have the largest turnout to any Area event, either when it comes to taking girls places (like the Dal Women’s Volleyball game in the winter), or leader only events (like conference or the Area Dinner.) We have about 80 girls total, and (I think) about 20 leaders. We had 18 there tonight out of a total leader turnout of about 70 (I think). It’s great to see so many of us who are so young, and we all get along. It’s great to enjoy working with those who you volunteer so much of our time with.

Now allow me to tell you all the tale of the leaders dinner that was lots of fun. I just wish that you could write the descriptions of the pictures on the white space at the bottom of the templates. I think that would be cool. These are some of the leaders that I work with, one of them is even a picture of my mom getting a Silver Merit award! Go Mom! I must admit that my District cleaned up with all the awards. We Rock. That’s all that can explain it.

-Cheers folks!

122. It’s a Fedora, dear Dora

I want to meet someone named Dora who doesn’t know what a Fedora is so that I can say “It’s a Fedora, dear Dora.” Kind of like The Doctor (from Doctor Who) wanted to meet someone named Alonso so that he could say “Alons-y, Alonso.” I’m weird like that I know.

Me and the guys (and Russian’s miss) went to see the new X-Men movie tonight. It was so good. As someone who has very, very limited knowledge about the background of X-Men I followed it all, and did my little girly fan-girl squee at the end when Patrick Stewart showed up. Kind of like what I did earlier today as I watched the latest episode of Dollhouse. Joss Wheadon is amazing. Simply amazing.

-Cheers folks!

121. Pool Night

We had a pool/Wii night at one of the guy’s houses last night. I didn’t get in until well after 2am that’s why there was not post yesterday. One of the many great features of Live Writer is that you can set the publish date to whenever you want, hence why this actually looks like I posted it yesterday. In any case, it was a fun night. Not much drinking going on at all, actually, I was the only person to drink anything and all I had was one drink. I don’t know whether they were making fun of me for not having a reaction to the one drink anymore, or if they were making fun of my past where I was such a lightweight that one drink would put me under the table.

There were some pretty great moments last night.

One of the guys made a shot that landed the other’s last ball alongside the 8 ball and both were right on the edge of the pocket.

There was a rolly chair, so what do you do? Play rolly chair pool where you can’t get up from the chair, but you are allowed to use the Bitch Stick.

A couple people got in on the Rolly Chair Pool. In both cases, the Rolly Chair player won.

No trickery here. He actually did make a bounce shot which I got a picture of. I do believe that the ball ended up on the floor though, so… scratch.

What would the night be without some fancy shots to try and show each other up. Except with this one there was no scratch, only balls in pockets.

All in all, a great night. We then played Wii (Tanks and Mario Cart) until about 1:30. Certain people let the team down, but that’s okay, we’ll only shun them for a little while.

-Cheers folks!
