Babysitting Shau Mau

On Friday night Kev and I decided to come to the rescue of a kitten who was hanging out in a bedroom across town. We knew this kitten had lots of energy so we thought we could babysit her and tire her out. This is how the night went...

Shau Mau full of energy, one playful kitty

Shau Mau starting to tire me out

Shau Mau starting to look tired but not really

Kevin attacking Shau Mau's second wind

Shau Mau is all cuddles

Ashley gets a second wind and makes a Shau Mau commercial

Shau Mau attempts to fall asleep in her litter box, but we thwart her plan, silly kitty

Shau Mau became jealous of Ashley on facebook and sat beside her on the chair, and then the leg and then the lap and then finally Shau Mau falls asleep.

My Ode to Taber E-free

Today I went to church. Wow I said it, it's been almost a year since this has occured. I can't believe how long you can go and not realize it. The last time Kev and I attended church was Kevin's baptism... I know, I know what does that say about fire insurance. But anyway today I went to Kensington Road church to hear our friend Mara preach. The sermon was great, music was blah, but I kept thinking about my old church since the church layout was so similar to it. Hard pews with old carpet and a centre aisle down the middle...

Jodie, Jen, Shauna Richelle and I sitting in the front row, all bibles in hand listening intently to the morning anouncements. Hal Reed playing the banjo and Mr. Macculey on a steel guitar, the music didn't sound great but we knew every word by heart. We worshiped with our hands in the air, in our jeans and hoodies and sang along with all the other offkey voices. After worship, it was time for sharing. As each person stood up to tell of some news of cancer, or a miscarriage or answered prayer through extrordinary circumstances or who's inlaws had come into town and had to make the announcement because they were sitting at the end of the pew, we knew each person. In fact each face was familar down to the old man in the back who never stands for worship, the family with now 11 kids who didn't believe in birth control, and the family that had been divorced, remarried and now divorced again.
When Pastor Gartly went to the stand we gave a look of admiration, because we respected him, his honesty, openess and always the same countenance even in the face of shock circumstances. (It wasn't his preaching that we loved) He often went off on a greek tangent or spoke in accedemic language that wasn't grasped by theology majors in attendence, but he loved his flock and got to know them all. Including those outside the congregation. The husbands of believers who won't go to church. (He still visits my dad). He even did a house visit when I was in a pit of depression at 17 and enable to get out. His prayers for me with my family were a life preserver at a dark time.
Pastor Gartly tried to get the church out by twelve o'clock if he didn't he would have a stark reminder by the grain train that whistled by promply at noon, disengaging all particpants in hearing his final point. After the sermon was done Mrs. Reed would play a recessional song on the piano that seemed to last an hour and us girls would sit and chat often that long. We were the last to leave the sanctuary, and having at least half of the old people come and hug us, tell us they were praying for us and wanting to hear our lastest rite of high school passage it often took that long to get out. All of the kids seemed to come by offer hugs and giggles while we silently thanked God we got off the Sunday school teachers train in jr. high.
When we finally left the church to go work on homework or head off to Sev for some post church slurpees we thought church was nothing out of the ordinary, taking our expirence for granted and wanting nothing more than to graduate and blow off the small town, for bible school and other christian opportunities that would bring us closer to God...
hmmmm.
i miss church, I hope i could come back to place like that again

Hey yo,
Tonight is a boring night in the apartment. Right now I am sitting at the computer in my swimsuit blogging while watching the latest gilmore girls on youtube. I'm in a swimsuit cause I'm hoping the pool will be empty later tonight and I can go for a dip rid off some tummy flab but right now some guy with goggles is doing laps. (I like the pool empty) Behind me I can hear the cheering and muffled sounds of NHL 07 for xbox, Kev is "busy" tonight too. I called my peeps but nobody seems home to chat, and I can't go to the mall cause I'm poor. So here I sit going through supplier websites (I'm now a buyer at CP) and looking for something new we could introduce in the way of giftware. I just got back from a convention in Edmonton super fun, getting to spend other peoples money, but now I'm bored. Why is it that reading my bible is so far down on the list it isn't funny. Luckily its just before thankyou notes...
anyway here is the link to the latest gilmore promo LANE'S BABIES!
