They won 6-0 to advance to the Cup Final... wow!
Chinese artists with accents are singing Dan Hill's Sometimes When We Touch on AM 1320 - oh my. o_O (we listened to the last bits of the Penguins' 6-0 win against the Flyers to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals, too!)
Had eggs as protein and buns for breakfast, while amusing my sister with Grandma's interpretation of her going to Vivian's last night. ("She MUST be going out with someone, because I know that there are men at White Girl's house!" The only men we know of over there are Vivian's dad and brother Nathan - SO WRONG! Jon agrees with the sentiment that there are men at the house, but not with the rest of it!) Steph even has witnesses in the form of Pastor John and his kids, whom they bumped into at Blockbuster! Then again, that might not help much: there was the time a few months ago after Sunday School when Grandma saw Jeremy talking to Karmie (Pastor John's wife), and assumed that she was his new girlfriend or something! Not to mention the time before Citrus and Danielle got together, and she saw Citrus and Steph hugging: "I *knew* your daughter has a secret boyfriend!" Hahaha, no!
Discussed SWEET CAROLINE, the Neil Diamond concert my sibs attended a few years ago (they saw "old" people dancing around!), country twang, Grandma's contention that people would come to rob us / slit our throats if the door isn't closed, Ultimate, Mike, Stanley, shorts, legs, Chris being sporty, Eric, negativity / frustration / moodiness, Sabrina, Billy, Danny, Nai Chiu, Benedict, Dragon Ball, and more on the way to church. I was momentarily surprised not to see Jeremy, but I remembered he's in Kelowna. (the main reason why we couldn't have tonight's Sunday Dinner at his place!)
Talked to Raymond about Scrabble moves and hot pot / dessert and Lesley being at Pearson Airport (YYZ is the code!), and got a pleasant surprise when I saw both Anthony and Benny! Benny's staying for the summer since he loves BC - it'll be good to see more of him for sure! He remembered my name without prompting, which is cool - he had a bit more trouble with Dianne, but at least he remembered that she is Cindy's sister. I recalled the time we all went to the beach for his farewell - good times! He thought that Friday's program wasn't what he was expecting, after three weeks here - things came up, which I understand. "Welcome back - now start cleaning with this mop!" Haha. I confirmed that Anthony would be at the dinner, and Jon reminded me about hummus in the fridge / the cellphone on top of his loft bed. (we had to enumerate the ingredients of the hummus spread in Chinese for Grandma this morning, oh my!) Said hi to Joshua and Keenan - they're so cute, trying to get up close and personal with the instruments in worship, especially Chris' drums! (also waved to Abigail / Anne / Olivia / Noah)
In the back parking lot, I gave out (mostly late) birthday cards to Sam / Angus / Nathaniel (finally said "thank you" after lots of prompting by his mom!) / Helen / Lee / Lily / Brian / Danielle / Karen Lew / Calla / Andrea / Joey. (I left Daniel's and Michelle's in Steph's care, and sideways-hugged Andrea / Brian / Danielle when they initiated it! Gave Chrystal's card to her when Sunday School was over - Hilary liked the stickers, and says she has some of her very own!) Said hi to Julie, who asked about Korey - things are fine with him! Waved hi to Johnny / Chuck / Karen I. / Tony, greeted Acer (nice to see Calla's brother around!), watched Benjamin / Joshua / Keenan gather rocks and put them by the dumpster, confirmed things with Eric before he left early (email of attendance rocks!), and went off to Sunday School. Quan had a salad roll from Pho for breakfast - you gotta do what you have to in order to avoid being absolutely famished by lunchtime! ;)
Brandon and Terence were back, so it was a full class today! (Watson was misbehaving - I felt like Alexander Graham Bell / Sherlock Holmes every time I had to say "Watson, come here please!") Said hi to Ian and Sean after Sunday School, found out Eric and Arthur's mom's name (Tammy), and went to Mui's with Vania and her parents (their treat) after seeing Lawrence's friend Adrian. (Lawrence's sister Anita gave the kids some cake - wow!) Talked about all-inclusive vacations, Cancun, Jamaica, Phoenix, the library, BCIT studying, weird tans, hangovers / politeness / tequila, Vania's kind cousin Wilfred coming next week, having kids "late" in life, our grandma's way of thinking, and more... interesting company, as usual. Got home, took a shower, and did some laundry before fielding calls for Jon from Harmony and Christon - I'm not sure whether the phone numbers I have for Lesley are accurate, but it'll do! Must remember the hummus later on, for sure! Good thing Steph will leave for Viv's after Grandma goes to sleep, haha. Sleeping over three nights out of four - what Big G doesn't know won't hurt her!
Example of Grandma's weird thinking...
Auntie Tracy: Oh, your granddaughters are so pretty... especially Leslie!
Grandma: That's because she came out first!
*me, Vania, and Steph look at each other.... so the kids get uglier with each successive birth?!*
I just jumped up and down and clapped my hands in order to inject some joy in Grandma's life. She thinks I've gone crazy OR that I've won a prize - no, I'm just being very positive! Hahaha.
