You want to throw my pin in the GARBAGE?!
Jon picked me up this morning, and immediately asked if Chinese Eric was still all gung-ho about his wedding. Of course he is! "It's my day off, so I'm looking at airfares! I can't wait to chill with the new groom and Nate and everyone else!" is certainly a good indicator of that! Discussed Steph being in Calgary, his teaching on Saturday (it sucks that he can't attend the open house!), Jonathan, Mom not mentioning my being at Steph's birthday dinner (sigh...), the tux place across the street from the church, no Sunday School, snow in Toronto, whether he'll have to attend the child protection seminar himself, Mom's confusing EGOTISTICAL for something else, and some other things. The Open House should be interesting, at any rate. It was funny when we saw Mike / Ivan / Sam on the corner where our old church was: they must have been at Bon's since it's still relatively close to the new building!
Got to church late, and I could feel Randal looking at us when we walked in - yeah, it happens! Phil recreated the experience of a dissection room for us - dead bodies and formaldehyde do not a good combination make! Daniel said it had been a while since we had an Offering in Song: Margaret had her own song, yay! (there were technical difficulties with the computer and the mike!) Afterwards, I said hi to Joey / Julie / Sheena / Helen and her baby Cory. It's good that Danny's taken Nicholas to swimming lessons, since she wouldn't be able to handle both kids at once! Cory's a smiling baby most of the time, anyhow! Congregated outside the fellowship hall, where Jeremy verbalized what I was thinking: nobody was inside because there was no food! Calla and Johnny were at the David Fellowship retreat (my brother was surprised I wasn't there), so we joked that Phil should do a pastoral duty and delegate it to someone else next time there was a retreat, haha. Talked to Dianne for a bit about getting the seminar over and done with NOW, which is a good strategy.
Talked to Jeremy about his jasmine rice and my rice blend, and to Lily about the Valentine's Day card I gave her daughter Hannah. Baby Gavin was awake, and liked holding my finger! Phil, Lily, and I talked about how the first kid was more introverted while the second kid seemed to be more social: it's true with Phil and Melia, and true with me and Jon! I went upstairs, where Joshua told me that he didn't like my flower pin and wanted to throw it in the garbage! His brother Keenan just wasn't in a good mood, and cried when I said hi to him. At Sunday School, I talked to Auntie Fonda about rice cookers / Chinese opera / my brother's wedding / felts / markers / dollar store tambourines / crayons. She apparently knows just where to get one, so now all I have to do is buy a pencil sharpener for the pencil crayons unless I can find one around here! (should have done that last Monday - oh well...) Said hi to Auntie Bessy (refreshed her on Jon / Alan / Megan's wedding dates) and Rachel's grandma, who treated us to homemade Chinese dessert from this morning. It's interesting how Holly got married on 8/8/08, and Harmony will get married on 6/6/09 - NUMBERS! (I discussed this with Uncle Andre later on - "another niece getting married... you should see this video of Harmony and Holly when they were three or four, playing in Oppenheimer Park!")
Afterwards, I went downstairs to at least say hi to my mom, who told me that Grandma's birthday dinner will probably be on Tuesday. On my way out to the fellowship hall, I refreshed Auntie Kwai on my brother's wedding date since my grandma was fuzzy on the exact date. She has to plan out how to dress since she's going on a cruise in August. Went to the fellowship hall, got a ride home from Ada, and talked to Angus / Vanessa / Melia / Maxine about selling Mary Kay (Maxine's sister got into it, and she herself has used it for about a year - yay, mascara?), low-cut tops, Costco pizza / tossed salad (not THAT kind, you perverts! :P) / drinks, Joshua and Keenan loving Hawaii, and more.
Accidentally dirtied my booklet with salad dressing, so got another one from the back table - that turned out to be the Youth Worker one and not the Children's Worker one, so I got the correct one later on. Interesting seminar - we wondered why Richmond and Burnaby offered free criminal record checks, while Vancouver didn't. Maybe it has to do with the RCMP / Vancouver police divide? I can always ask my sister about that, as well as how to get one started in the first place - my guess is we have to go down to the station in person, but I really wouldn't know. Baby Mattias is so cute, too - saw him later on. Talked about nursing bibs and such with Karen before Ada and I left. Discussed pizza, sushi, fried chicken, Ian, Sean, yellow lights, and more on the way home: yay for good people! Eric sent me an interesting email, too - hmm!
