So much to write . . .

Happy Birthday to me! Almost.

Last night I went out with my parents, Leah, Matt and Vanessa to a Chinese buffet up by Pacific Mall. I love food. Thanks to Bruce for the recommendation. I usually go to a place at Warden and the 401 for my Chinese buffet needs. Overall I'd say the place we went last night had better food and a better selection. My favourite for the night was of course the salmon sashimi. It was so wonderful and fresh - it was like eating fishy butter. Wait, that sounds gross. . . at any rate the salmon sashimi was delicious. Also liked the 'soup' with sweetened coconut milk and tapioca. And the spring rolls, the noodles, the roast chicken . . . . mmm. Sorry I was having a moment. ;) So it was a good birthday dinner.

When we went home I got my presents from my family. I got an mp3 player and Inuyasha season 3. Yay for both! Now I just have to upload gazillions of songs and I'm good to go.

2 Job Man!

My other news is that I'm now also employed by my tkd club. I only work on Thursday nights from 5:30 to 7:30 but I might also be taking shifts on Monday night and Saturday mornings from time to time. I got the Saturday morning shift yesterday because one of the regular staff was away. So far it seems okay. I don't think I'm the awesomest teacher yet but hopefully I'll improve with experience.

Scrapbooking

I've been putting together a scrapbook of my France stuff. Since the photos are digital I had to crop all of the ones I wanted to print off to a 4x6 format. Originally I had around 140 photos. So far I've narrowed it down to around 115. Hopefully I can reduce that a little more before I print them off. I want to include the best of the best - or things that I really want in there - so that the scrapbook isn't huge. Thanks Michelle for the advice and supplies. :)

  • My Sensei for many many years was a girl... somewhere in her 40s, about 5'4", and built like a toothpick. She could hip throw me without a second thought, and after a shoulder throw me I could easily be about 10ft from where I was standing. She epitomized that martial arts is about technique and finesse, not strength. It wasn't an ego breaker at all, quite the contrary. Seeing (and being on the receiving end of) her doing that to me (6', 160lbs), if I ever got that good, I knew I could defend myself against anyone. It was motivation.

    But Caty seems like the kind who would give out knuckle or finger tip pushups. Or even thumb pushups. HATE thumb pushups.

    :p

    Happy Birthday Caty!

  • Glad you're having fun with the scrapping!:)

    Something else to keep in mind is don't limit yourself to the standard 4x6's pics [well unless you *really* want to], experimenting with different photo sizes and layouts will add to the creativity on a page.

    Have fun with it! :)
