Streaking, sledgehammers, popcorn, sausages, and more
The machine restarted when I was out - sigh...
This morning, my mom gave me a couple of beaded bracelets and a magnetic necklace from Auntie Chu - they're great for things which I'll rarely wear. Of course, I had to cut too much on the black one and lose some beads - sigh. (Hien helped me fix it after Sunday School) She asked me a few weird questions, but I expected that. Got to church and talked to Chuck for a bit about money-saving measures when you plan a wedding; I know Jon and Harmony had their family and friends do photos, decorations, and food! I was going to sit with him, but moved pews when the perfidious blackguard moved into ours. Instead, I sat by Joey and Emily, and talked to Citrus (and a girl named Tina) about traffic, naked people, and more. Not sure why people would streak, but I guess this is the weather for it, haha! Darren's back from Ireland, so it was pretty good seeing him! He asked me later if I was going to make it to his sister Erin's wedding - I can't, but my sister has to since she's a bridesmaid!
Chatted to Emily about going to Tropika last night, then interacted with some of the kids outside. Megan told me and Dianne that she really liked the popcorn, Benjamin / Joshua / Keenan were busy jumping on a metal covering, and I told Nathaniel to let his sister Abby have some popcorn as he was in her way. Recognized little Cori (I refuse to call her Corona, although I did wear my Corona Extra hat today), and asked her if she remembered who I was - she nodded, so that's a good sign. Told Eric what happened with my debit card, and confirmed that he'd be calling me tomorrow for the Committee meeting. One of the doors of the fellowship hall had something wrong with it - later, Benedict and Gabriel's dads used a ladder and sledgehammer to try fixing it. Dylan and Jeremy were quite interested in that, haha. Unfortunately, baby Mattias didn't like the noise, and cried whenever someone tried saying hi to him. Karen said he'd just woken up - fair enough!
Talked to Andrea about next week's bridal shower - of course she can give me a ride home! She was initially confusing it with Tracy's bridal shower today, and said she'd have to be home at 4:30... I was thinking, "4:30 in the morning?!" Her little five-year-old cousin is having a birthday party, and he finally gets his own bed! He outgrew his toddler bed some time ago, but has been sleeping on the floor for about a year due to lack of time and such to get a new bed. Apparently, he loves the cute sheets and everything else on his new one, so that's good! I told Hien that my redrum picture had been removed from Facebook, probably for being "too violent." She laughed at me, and said that somebody (not her!) had probably reported it - I figured as much, yes...
Said hi to Sonya, Sheena, Jen, Tony, Sonny, Karen Lew, and Lincoln - talked about job hunting, Jon and Harmony's honeymoon, exams, school, today's snack of cheese cubes / cocktail sausage / crackers (Jon would like that if he were here), summer plans, and other things. Went back inside and interacted with baby Allison a little, which meant saying hi to Julie / Mike / Joey / Sarah - not too bad! Talked to Chrystal: confirming a hangout date the week we're going to do it will probably work better! She said that she and Melia were looking at my Facebook wedding photo album last night, and she likes the dragon outfit - sweet! Maybe I'll wear it more often, although everyone will know that I wore it for the wedding... oh well.
Got to Sunday School almost in time for Auntie Fonda to get a phone call that left her crying, and which caused her to leave right away after she enlisted Auntie Bessy to help. I asked what had happened: she's been left emotionally and physically drained by her beloved cat's dying. Auntie Bessy guessed that the phone call was from Fonda's daughter Vivian telling her that the cat had died, or was very close to it. The cat was at the stage where it would just have bodily functions anywhere in the house, so of course Auntie Fonda had to clean it up at any time - she had to work and be a mother, too! Poor woman! Watson was crying for his mom, and little Margaret (with her nine-year-old cousin Alan in tow) was back. We managed to calm Watson down, and I talked a bit to the kids - Amanda told me to sit down because she was "making me something to eat" - sure, I can pretend to be enthused about pretend "air" food, haha!
After Sunday School, I gave one coffee wafer to Amanda's sister Hannah - she thought it was chocolate, and said she isn't allowed to drink coffee! I told her not to worry, since it wasn't real coffee! Talked to Stanford for a bit about Oscar's and such, and he actually told me to take care! One of my grandma's friends (Gabriel's grandma) said I should say something in English to my grandma every day - I don't think that'll help her retain anything! The afternoon was spent at Tsui Woo for lunch with Uncle Simon / Auntie Lana (who twisted her back when she picked up her grandchild) / Uncle Ken / Auntie Amy / two random strangers in dup-toi. (the younger one was literate enough in English to be reading THE PROVINCE!) I saw Ivan, Adam, Andrew, Darren's family (including Derek), and Auntie Helen at the restaurant, too. Then the rest of the afternoon was spent in a largely boring visit to Uncle Ken and Auntie Amy's apartment which lasted about an hour and a half too long. At least I heard some stories about her daughter Susan and HER kid Eden (born July 23, 2007), flipped through a bunch of photo albums of the kid, and had some coffee. Now I'm finally home to relax!
