Hello Lovelies!
Well today's post comes to you from between half closed eyes as the smoke from various forest fires is temporarily settling on the city. Sunday morning as I opened my front door I smelled smoke and could see the haze and wondered where it was from. After about an hour we had heard that on of the High Schools in Maple Ridge had caught fire and that it was probably the cause...we were wrong. We have such sever water restrictions here right now that even numbered houses can only water on Mondays between 4am and 9am and odd numbered houses can only water on Thursdays.
They said on Sunday that there were about 79 forest fires burning in BC and as of this morning the count was at 182 the closest ones to us being 2 on Burnaby Mountain and Pemberton was on fire as well with the smoke is funneling down to us. We also have smoke coming up from Washington and I truly don't think I've seen it this bad before. Our house topped out at 34 degrees...in the house and I now know what a Vampire feels like when it steps out into the sun and instantly feel the sizzle on the skin. So with that it was a long and hot weekend.
The highlight of the weekend was playing Never Have I Ever...with the girls of the house, oh and Allan the poor guy although in hindsight I think we all agree that that's a game parents should never play with their children no matter how close they are because we find out things about each other that we wish we didn't know but it was fun and we laughed and that kind of time with them is always the best. We had friends come in from Alberta and all they wanted to do was find a Lake...you're in BC now take your pick!
With the talk of rain around the corner and I can't wait! As long as it's not the, let's drizzle for 5 mins and stop for an hour and then do it again type rain. We just need even if it's overnight a nice summer downpour to soak everything and help put out the blazes. So with that said I hope that the people that have been evacuated can go back soon...if they haven't already.
This leads me to a tiny rant I have that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the topic above.
My daughter that I spoke about previously and her interest in Social Media Marketing quit her job at the Matchmaking Office yesterday because her boss was was going to cut her hours to 2 days a week, 2 hrs per day and was yelling at her ( which she normally does ) Bitchface ( sorry for my language I will no doubt be using ) told her that basically she too nice and that a failure in parenting was at fault, that because we don't own a house that was our downfall in her raising.
Fuck...You...
First off she knows nothing of what any of us had to go through just to raise them. It was not an easy ride and the kids took it in stride and we did the best we could at the time with what we had just like millions of other family's. After I calmed down because I wanted to leave work, go to her office and grab her by the throat for the things she said to her I realized that my girl is the bigger person. She doesn't force people into taking something they don't want and actually has compassion for people. Well stop the presses we taught her to CARE! OMG we are horrible people!
Bean can hold her own and says what's on her mind just because she doesn't belittle people all the time, she shouldn't be classified as weak. She loved her job and is devastated that she had to let it go especially after all of the work she did to build up their online image that was non existent until Bean got a hold of it. So Fuck you Pimp Bitch! I'm glad she left your toxic environment and I hope she sees you in the future successful and proud after surviving your relentless verbal torture.
Me on the other hand?... I'm not as nice as my kid, she wouldn't like me when I'm angry...no one else does.
So back to smiles! I am shifting gears and off to do the things that make me happy and smile! Oh wait I'll be working on stuff that doesn't make me smile but that's ok I'll smile despite it because I'm proud of the things my kid accomplished in a short period of time.
Have a great week!
See Ya!

Summer Fun in too Much Sun?
Hi Lovelies!
I hope you had a great week!
Not much happened...at all because it is just too HOT. Days are OK especially when at work because there is air conditioning all day and in the city it's not too bad as I've said before. Although on the Skytrain it was so hot I felt claustrophobic and just wanted to get off. When you get on the WCE there's air con again Woo Hoo! Until you get off of that and get hit by a wall of heat that makes you sweat in 2.3 seconds but still, you get home whether you walk or drive and it's kind of bearable because it's the cooling down part of the day, now if you don't have air con in your home it's the nights that are the worst and if you do have it well then... I just hate you, you lucky bastards.
I'm also one of those people that no matter how hot she is, has to sleep covered up... and why you ask? I HAVE NO IDEA! Probably because as a kid we never had screens on our windows and would sleep with them wide open and you know what... "I hate bugs!" and with an allergy to mosquitoes I would stay covered to avoid being dinner and just can't kick the habit. As soon as the sun goes down they come out like a squadron, flight pattern and all and it's like they know I'm allergic because they attack swiftly and repeatedly. The next thing you know I have welts the size of golf balls and you have a bunch people smacking each other and themselves until they can't take it anymore just because inside is 10 degrees hotter than outside.
Let's not forget there's always that one that while you're trying to fall asleep it buzzes around your head all night trying to eat your face but you don't hear it until it's almost IN your ear or your eye then there you are smacking yourself in the head. Wake up and go to school with bruises on your face and they think your parents beat you.
Oh ya those were the days my friends.
At least if your cold you can layer stuff on and warm up but when your hot you can only go so far. It's not like you can peel your skin off or anything and that would just be gross but so is too much heat.
Enough bitching about the heat! I love that it's so beautiful and dry and bright even through the heatstroke and the possible West Nile.
You might get 2 blogs this week because there are the websites I was talking about last week that I'm going to tell you about and for a young man that has a fascination with Grimm who finally watched the season and LOST HIS MIND. He wrote a letter to the writers and as soon as I get the whole letter I'll show you how much of a fan Fluffy is.
He's a big fan....a big fluffy fan.
Oh Boy...
Have a good one!
See Ya
