When we got home Scott played Call of Duty and I watched.
Today is our actual anniversary and Scott doesn't start night shift until 8pm so he's off for the majority of today.
Stand by for late breaking news.

The Sequel
I didn't have to cook something with potatoes for dinner last night. Scott took me to Fuji for sushi (which I'd been craving for days and days). It was really nice, and Vinny, our regular server, gave us the extra special treatment.

Scammed
Tomorrow is our anniversary. Scott has to work nights for the first half of the week so we won't get to spend our day together. I had arranged for us to take a plane ride this afternoon with a pilot-friend of mine but the plane was iced up this morning so the surprise didn't happen. I let Scott know what I'd originally been planning so that he wouldn't think I'd completely forgot about the anniversary and he said "Were you going to tell me? What if I had something planned?" Crisis averted, no plane rides happened today, bring on my surprise. Then he made another comment last night about having something planned for our anniversary. This morning he said "keep your afternoon and evening open."
So far today I have made myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast, rather than my usual Sunday hashbrowns and eggs prepared for me by Scott. Then I took the dog for a walk (Scott was there too so I guess it wasn't too bad) and gave him a bath. I played around on the Internet for awhile waiting for Scott to finish cleaning out his work truck. Then I got to go grocery shopping where I didn't ask what we should do for dinner because I assumed that plan had been taken care of. We are now home, and Scott suggested I cook something with potatoes because we have alot to use up.
I'm still waiting to see if his "plans" involve anything other than chores and football.
Happy Anniversary to me.

The Funnies
After BlackBerry Update so graciously wiped out all of my calendar appointments and the memos in MemoPad I wasn't able to post the few quotes that I'd jotted down in there. Last night I located the backup file on my computer and downloaded some other software program that decodes .ipd files. Calendar appointments and MemoPad recovered!! Thank you to everyone on the CrackBerry Forum for providing me with the solution to both of the issues.
So, without further adieu.....
"Why do they call him Louie? It took me a day and a half to figure out they weren't talking about two different people. They call him Ron & Louie! How was I supposed to know?- Scott, confused.
"Oh thank you. I wanted a Transformer. But a boy will do."- Dylan, after I congratulated him on the upcoming birth of his son.
"I wish this show was an hour."- Robbie, watching The Hills.
"Do I have to have you on my insurance? Really? I may as well throw my money in the garburator."- Scott, to me. I know you were unsure about who he was talking to.
**Post Edit** This next bit of dialogue came from my Mom via e-mail this morning. It just had to get added.
At a typical Lundquist family dinner, Joe, my little cousin, has apparently been attempting to go "Vegan" for the past 3 weeks.....
Bonnie: Joe, do you know what a Vegan is?
Joe: Yup, somebody who has never had sex, YET!
Bonnie: No, no. Not a virgin, a Vegan.
Joe: Hehe OH! Nope.
Bonnie: A Vegan does not ingest food that originates from anything with a face.
Joe: Oh, cool.
Granny: That's much more difficult than just staying away from meat.
Dave: Well technically, virgins don't eat meat either.
(Hunter laughed so hard he choked).
Stay classy, Dad.

Slack 'o Lackin'
21 sleeps.
It appears that I've been a bit MIA from the blogger world lately. I typically come into work, log into my Google account and browse through Google Reader to see what I've missed. I guess my life has just been crazy busy and I can't find the time in between work tasks, or maybe eBay has consumed my Internet attention. Either way, I need to smarten up!
21 sleeps.
Scott celebrated his 25th birthday a couple weeks ago, and this past weekend we drove to Didsbury to spend the weekend with my family (Mom, Dad, Aunts, Uncle, Cousins, Ron, and Lanette and Brody briefly) and Scott tried his hand at hunting. He had a great time out in the bush, and even had the opportunity to become a "real hunter." Dad said that he aimed right where he told him too, and he just barely missed his target. I didn't ever think Scott would turn into a hunter, but you can bet that he's fitting in beautifully with the men in our family and my Dad is happy to have some boys to teach gun slingin'. We came home with happy hearts, full bellies, a new TV and a gun. Lucky me! Thanks for that one, Uncle Lenny.
Work has been busy, both jobs, and school is wrapping up over the next 2 weeks. You can imagine that this means final projects, presentations, and exams, but I am ecstatic that it'll all be finished on December 3rd. I get a couple weeks to relax before heading home on the 16th for our 2 week holiday. 21 sleeps.
Friday is Scott's Christmas party, Saturday I have to get together with a couple ladies to work on our presentation for Organizational Behaviour, hopefully meet with Mike, Kristen, and their puppy Juno to see if she'll get along with the Rockstar, and Sunday is Grey Cup. We also have to fit in an Anniversary celebration (3 years, holy toledo!) and a fancy shmancy dinner.
I am almost done my Christmas shopping! The Lundquist clan draws names for the gift exchange, and this year I got Brody. I had a hard time in the beginning coming up with a great gift idea for him, but I think I've hit the nail on the head this time. I hope he likes it! I also had some trouble with presents for Scott, as it was just his birthday (PS3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and all the gear) and our anniversary next week, but I have also managed to sort out that fiasco! Stocking stuffers are covered for my family, as well as his, and aside from a few things I need to get when we get to Vancouver, I'm all done. It feels great!
I have been working on my Christmas Wish List this year (thanks BlackBerry update for wiping out my entire Memo Pad and notes!!!) and I've pretty much figured it out. If anyone wants to get me a TeaCup Piggy, or a Macbook Pro, you know where to find me.
If you could have any one thing for Christmas, completely materialistic and fabulous, what would it be? (I don't want to hear World Peace, feed the hungry, save an Endangered species. We all want those things, so gimme something real good).
21 sleeps. Did I mention?

A Few Little Bits
"Wow, the Internet sure doesn't have anything, when it really comes down to it."- Scott, apparently frustrated with Google.
"I can do so much now. It's like my wings have been unclipped."- Krystle, talking about finally having a vehicle of her own.
"Do you guys gotta work Remembrance Day? I hope not, I won't remember a fucking thing."- Robbie, so patriotic.
(No spelling or grammatical errors are being corrected for these next two quotes):
"Nice. Tell the boss that I'm the bee knees and can dunk on a 14 foot net and am a national badminton champ from the years of 1988-1991 and 1994-1996. And that I may be a little older but I can still smash the shuttlecock."- Kyle, I have no idea.
"Oh, and Scotty said if you have to show the boss alittle upstairs to get me up there. it was ok. but don't conferm that with him."- Kyle, again.
So, 34 sleeps until we're home for the holidays. Only 7 sleeps until we're in Didsbury to visit my family (and so Scott can go hunting. Yes, hunting. I know).
Can't wait to see everyone!

My Lucky Stars *
Yesterday was one for the history books- I had good luck.
Like I previously posted about, my camera was miraculously returned to me yesterday afternoon. I had to wait until 3pm to phone Paddy's for the terrible news that "No, your camera is not here" but to my complete shock and amazement, it was there! I picked it up on my way home from work and then stopped to grab some groceries from Safeway. I bought a slew of veggies for a big pot of soup that I was planning to whip up, and this is where my other bit of luck comes into play.
I put dinner in the oven and decided to start chopping up the vegetables. I was almost done when I thought it could probably use a bit of fresh parsley. I ripped off a handful of the pretty green stuff, rolled it up, and started chopping away. I was moving so quickly that I didn't even see my finger resting directly under my knife blade. SLICE. I thought I'd cut my finger off! but when I looked down I had completely hacked off the end of my finger nail, as well as the very top layer of skin which was sliced clean off the tip with what looked to be total precision. Precision it was not. Luck it was.
Thank you to whoever was watching out for me yesterday. I like it. Care to stick around awhile longer?
