when i was a little man, playdogh came in a little can...

black, pinstriped pants, grey t-shirt, red socks with bags and pussies, hair in pigtails.

well i just want to say this first to get it out of the way: pepper was diagnosed with cancer on tuesday. i found out on the drive back from TO. a great home-welcomer. it's in his spleen, they think it's moved into his liver. he's all terribly skinny. his eyes even look a little sunken in. and his belly's all shaved from the ultrasound. but still he's wagging all the time. happy as ever. and now to change the subject cuz i dont' wanna start crying....

can't you spend a dime or two? here but for the grace of god go you. you'll be merry, i'll be merry but merry ain't in our vocabulary.

toronto was quite fun. now i'll say everythign we did.

thursday

-->when i woke from my nap, it was to the sounds of erica and her mom gettin home. greetings were had. then i don't remember what the crap we did...

friday

-->i dont' remember what i did during the day, but that nite we went to the rom cuz it was free. then we wandered down younge street. me and erin, that is. we wanted dairy queen. so we walked along younge for 45 minutes (at top speed) and came across 6 or 7 mc. donlad'ses but no DQ. we passed the edge indie nite. that was cool. then it started raining. then it was pouring. then we went inside the eaton centre to find a bathroom. lo and behold! a DQ still open. it was the best tasting blizzard ever. cuz it took so long to get it.

saturday

-->erin worked 6am-7.30pm, and erica also had a long working day, so i took erica's mom to yorkdale. we wandered around the whole place. she bought me lunch, which was nice. she's quite a nice lady. and we met a creepy guy who touched her hand to his lips. he was smelling her hand cream (we just used the tester at his store) but it was creepy all the same.

-->erin went to sleep almost as soon as she got home cuz she had to work at 6 the next morning too. so me, erica and her mom watched remember the titans and the recruit. and ate a lot of chips and fudgee-o's. too many chips and fudgee-o's. you guys know how i am with snack food. so we hurt our bellies and went to sleep.

sunday

-->when erin got back from work (10 ish am) we went downtown. we went to the art festival dealie in nathan phillips square. it was so cool, there were just tons upon tons of artists showing and selling their art. but it was way too much to absorb. then we ate some ice cream. then we went through the eaton centre to toys r us to buy meg's b-day present. then we went to payless, but they didn't have my cherry shoes in my size. i almost bought a 9 1/2 but then realised it was too small. then we went down queen street. ahhhh, i love the city when i'm on that street. we went back and forth down it for a while. there was the samba squad, but i dont think it was the samba squad from york. anyways, they're this awesome drummer troupe type thinger that were marchign down the street. it was the coolest. then on the way back, they were in a circle. we watched them for like 45 minutes or something. they were so cool. the leader guy was really hairy, though. like beast-man hairy. like pubic hair on the upper arms, hairy. lol. the crowd was moving, though. it was so great.

-->then we came back and i guess we watched a movie or something. or maybe we just went to sleep. i guess i dditn' really pay attention.

monday

-->slept in.

-->went to york. to check the go bus thinger.

-->went to the rex with meg, erin, erica, meg's friend amanda and dave for meg's birthday. the rex is this neat little jaz bar with a live band. it was fun. then we came home on the last subway and went to sleep.

tuesday i went home. but erin came with me to the town centre and we bought ice cream (all i ate this weekend was ice cream, i swear) and went to wal-mart and junk. wal-mart scares me a little.


so that's what i did. now i'm home. i bought oreos in wal-mart and now i think i shoulndt have. cookies are dangerously yummy. i can't stop eating them. they're like chips. but worse. i think i'm done now.

love, hugs and long weekends.
