10:40 am	The big 3-0! This is it, people! The Big 3-0! =) Today I am celebrating by having lunch with my mother, and then a Batman theme party with go-carts with many friends! (and husband, of course! haha) I'm pretty excited! I love birthdays. I already opened gifts from the siblings. I love getting mail, and e-cards, well-wishes! It's so fun! =) At work they gave me cake and a batman bag full of random cool gifts. Now I have a 4-day weekend! Yay! PS. The turtles send their love! =) Current Mood: chipper (Comment on this)

1:17 am	I've decided to start submitting things to reader's digest. I figured I know enough jokes and amusing stories to make a few bucks doing that. However, I also read that they actually accept random joe's writing for articles...so now I'm working on a personal short story. But don't get too excited. I've started stories before... We'll see how this one goes... Current Mood: ambitious (Comment on this)

5:31 am	2 years and counting... Today is our 2nd anniversary. It's weird that we've been married for 2 years already..and yet, I can't really remember what it was like to not be married. Some days, though, I still feel like I'm playing house. It's pretty cool this marriage thing. I'm often surprised at how "normal" it feels. We share our lives, our space, our thoughts, our vacations. Sometimes it's overwhelmingly wonderful, but most times it's just peacefully pleasant. We won't actually see each other much today, but will be spending lunch and dinner together, which is a rare pleasure, and tomorrow we were thinking of checking out the Harrison Hot Springs. We'll see. He bought me much flowers..the first batch he brought to work, and the second batch was waiting at home. I was very surprised. Getting them a day early was due to having a cranky day yesterday, which made it even better...unexpected and great for cheering up! Current Mood: loved (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:55 pm	the whole confusing thing about guy friends So here's the weird thing about having best guy buds, as has always been my struggle. One day, they get a girlfriend, and leave you behind. I figured I would stop being bothered by this once I found my own true love, cuz hey, no matter what guy I lose, I've got the greatest man in the world with me forever! But, surprisingly, this is not the case. When I was single, I figured I missed my guy friends cuz I missed being their "someone special" until someone more special came along...thus I started to convince myself to have crushes on these guy friends, attempting to keep them, but that always followed in confusion and weirdness once I realized I never did see them in a romantic way...I just didn't want to lose them. Of course, getting married solved that dilemma, but as I stated earlier, it doesn't stop me from missing them now. Sure, relationships changed after marriage, and I quite happily let them drift away from the close buds we once were to average everyday friendships which come and go. So why do I still mourn when the "average everyday" goes to "polite catch-up email once a year"? Well, I guess I finally realized that it's the same now when I'm married as when I was single: to put it simply, male or female, I've lost a good friend with whom I have great memories. It just so happens that the female ones are much easier to keep. Regardless, I am known to celebrate small things, and mourn small things. On and on it goes, and life is good. So many good memories. And now it's time to move on. Good-bye old friend. Current Mood: nostalgic (4 Comments |Comment on this)

7:26 pm	First Poetry Slam So I did it! I finally read a poem, out in the open, to group of strangers (and my husband). I feel confused by the results. It seems a lot of people liked it (Although I did not advance to 2nd round b/c I went on too long). I delivered it well, without a fumble, and almost completely memorized. I guess, maybe, I just figure I could have done better. I would have liked to have been more comfortable with myself, more free-flowing, more attitude. But that's me being too hard on myself again. I just expected that I would be "a natural". That statistic about most people's #1 fear being speaking in public? I'm the exception! I love the attention! Growing up, however, has seemed to dampen the courage and outright confidence I had just 5 years ago. *sigh* But it's a start. And I finally took that first step to doing something with my writings. And I am encouraged to write more, and practice more, and speak in public more. And I guess that was the purpose in the beginning anyway. Current Mood: confused (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:15 pm	short update I haven't written on this for a few months, so I thought I'd say a line or two. Things are going really well. In the last week and a half, we moved into a nicer apartment, and then bought a 2007 car (Pontiac G5). I am very excited! I also got a raise at work a few weeks back, so that helped pay for the car! God continues to surprise me with how well he takes care of us. Anyway, I know I haven't many friends left on livejournal. (I passed over to facebook a long time ago.) So that is all for me now. Catch ya later! Suzanne Current Mood: grateful (Comment on this)

8:12 pm	Today we used a wedding gift certificate to buy a printer/ scanner / copier and I am so excited! Now I can make more copies of my 'zine (which I've been putting off for over a year) and scan old pictures and even finally print some digital pics & get them into a photo album! I'm having much fun with this little toy. (thanks Dan) =) Current Mood: happy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:10 am	a poem (it's been a while) Somedays I'm still 3 years old running though a field of overgrown grass in a foreign country. The grass is too short for me now. No matter how I crouch and squat, still it's not sufficient to hide this world from me. I pray for rain enough to grow a world of daisies tall enough to cover us all but still I pray in vain as we take our sickles and cut paths to misery and self-worship and hate.

8:49 pm	yay for our turtle! Today, for the first time, I saw my Tucker eat a fish! I'm so excited and proud of him! I know he's eaten 2 fish before beacuse they've disappeared from the tank when we were gone, but we're bought him a bunch of feeder fish and he just didn't seem to know what to do with them most of the time. But, yay! he has figured out how to hunt & eat! =) And I got to witness it! Yay! Good little Tucker... awww.. tee hee My turtle provides me with far too much amusement!

8:58 am	My birthday is on Tuesday! If you're in town, stop by and celebrate! =P My new husband is arranging all the plans for me, and it's great! Quite the refreshing change from planning my own party and making my own cake...man, that sounds so pathetic now that I think about it...but I do enjoy making cake! (and I did make a sweet plaid cake with a friend's help one year...*wink *wink) mmm...cake....my most favorite food in the world. Last night I dreamed about creme pie....mmm...creme pie!

10:31 pm	planning ahead... So, as the plans stand for now, Ryan and I have decided to move to Edmonton, Alberta in the summer of 2008 (a year and a half).... that will give us plently of time to settle in before starting to have babies in 2009 or 2010. Weird. I can't believe I'm actually planning something long-term like this! =) We'll be closer to family there, and, well, lately I've been thinking that it'll be really nice to live in a place where the whole city doesn't close down because of snow! And another random note.... my brother, the science genius, got a chapter in a book published through a friend in India. That is all I know about it, but I am so proud of him! =D His first publication! I hope I will follow-suit with my poetry...one day... That's all for now.

10:07 pm	Christmas!!! Today, as per European tradition, we celebrated Xmas. I made my very first Swedish Smorgasborg, although it was a mini-one. My mom makes it every year, but since my new hubby and I are celebrating solo, I made it for us. It was great! We went to the traditonal Xmas Eve service after that, but we were 20 minutes late, and the service only went for about 40 mintues! But it was good to celebrate anyway. On the way home, I remembered that I wanted to rent movies for Xmas. We don't get any channels here for Xmas specials, so we rented a couple. Then we opened gifts, and we got spoiled! We opened my gifts from my mom while talking to her on speaker phone so she would feel included. It was great! Tomorrow we shall play Nintendo Wii together (since we got a second controller) and watch movies and eat chocolate! I'm very excited. So, I must say, our first Christmas as a married couple has been awesome! I'm excited about starting new traditions together as our own little family. Merry Christmas everyone! God Jul! (that's Swedish) =) Current Mood: excited (1 Comment |Comment on this)
