I am definitely heading up to Edmonton this weekend to see my cousin in the hospital. So, how am I to fit in all the activities of a normal weekend? There's sushi, Raynna time, brunch, excessive drinking, and of course, sleep. I may have to start my weekend early just to accomodate it all.
Who can fit in sushi earlier this week? I am heading to Lethbridge for Wednesday but I could probably make it back in time to do it any day this week. Raynna time, well maybe if I took Friday off from work, and I started really early? brunch? I might have to combine brunch and Edmonton. Would my brunch partners like to come to Edmonton with me? As for the excessive drinking... I may have to postpone that until next weekend. And the sleep... Well I can probably fit that in just about anywhere! OK then, that sounds like a plan.

What is my goal in life? I'm giving this a lot of thought lately, and based on a conversation that I had with Michelle (she may have thought we were talking about something else, mind you) I have decided that life is basically just about living.
We spend all our efforts to live, and when that no longer takes up our every waking hour then we need other things. So we develop a social life, we develop hobbies, we get bored. Then we work, but the only reason we work is so that we can support all these habits that we have. And we find a job, and then we find another job, and another. But basically, we're all out there looking for the job that will pay us to do what we love. That job doesn't have to pay us a lot, just 'enough'. There is obviously a wide gap there, when it comes to enough. Like for example, I need enough so that my loans can be paid off and I can eat sushi once a week and I can read as many books as I want. Of course, now I'm being paid too much, so I now need to make car payments and mortgage payments, and other things because my habits have enlarged to meet my boredom and income. But I need more money because I'm bored pretty much all the time.
So I want to take up some hobbies: golfing in the summer, skiing in the winter, fall and spring: biking/hiking. So now, all I need is a job that will allow me to do those hobbies, maintain my habits and not bore me any more than I already am.
I think my chances of finding that job are near zero, or at least as close to zero as one can get.

Is Scarlett Johannson the hottest woman alive? I think she might be. As far as I'm concerned she is. I will provide one picture as evidence.

It's lonely to be alive in the 21st Century. Modern technology isolates us more, even as it makes it easier to interact with people farther away.
I am so looking forward to sushi tonight. Mother-shit! I think I can already taste it! And a bunch of people will be there and the food will be good and I will have like 15 beers and I will make a fool of myself and I will say stupid shit and people will laugh at me and then I will go home and sleep it off.
Then Tomorrow!!!!! It's Raynna day, or at least Raynna morning!! I will see my friend again for a few hours, have some breakfast, coffee and jawing (that's talking)! Shit! I just remembered I have to make her a CD. I will do that today at work if I have time.
Then it is off to Edmonton to see my cousin Debbie! I am looking forward to seeing her. When I saw her last weekend she looked so good! So fabulous I was just flabbergasted! And I saw her new husband Darryl as well, and he's well, but he actually looks worse than Debbie. I think this is all very hard on him, mentally that is, and Debbie's parents aren't making it any easier. Me, I'm on Debbie's side but there seems to be two camps on Debbie's side and I'm not picking either of them.
For those of you who do not know Debbie, she is my cousin on my Mom's side, my favorite and closest cousin on that side as well. She has a new set of lungs as of two weeks ago and she is now recovering in intensive care. She was very ill before the transplant and I wasn't sure she would make it to March. But Hallelujah (if you believe in all that G-d mumbo jumbo) she got lungs at the last possible moment and now she is recovering and looking good. So that's that. I'm so elated when I think about her new lungs, it's as if they were my new lungs as well!
