Woohoo! Its Monday again already!!!
Right, so madly quick recap of weekend events in chronological order
FRIDAY EVENING
Jen & Shannon go for jog, which quickly turns into speedwalk then leisurely jaunt
Shannon & Jen go out on town with Scottish bloke. They begin the night by unknowningly downing shots of Red Hoit CHili Pepper Vodka. Both are unusualy at a loss for words for the next wee while. They move on to The 3 Sisters, where they dance in uncoordinated but completely sexy manner while Steven shows them up with fancuy footwork and actual rhythym. ONwards & UpwardstoFIlthy McNAsty's it is..Jen has a plan to execute.Unfortunately, it does not go accordingly.
SATURDAY DAY
Eating,eating & more eating,witha side dish of eating.
Actually, day begins quite well..with Shannon & Jen visiting Fitness Fair and coming to conclusion that they will soon be FEncing FEmme Fatales.
From there it degenerated into eating fest..free samples at Sainsbury's, candy from the Pound Store and huge meal at the LInks..washed down with Pint of Carlsberg.
Watch Euro 2004 and try to figure out rules.Check outteh hot football playes. Keri & Shannon cheer b/c their team (Holland) winds in sudden-death O/T.
Go to Filthy McNasty's...drink v. little and sing even less.
SUNDAY
Clothes shopping -S hannon discovers she's dropped a size since lastin Europe!!!!!! Buys 2 skirts.ONly realises afterwardsthat she has no footwear to go with them. NIkes just won't do. MOre shopping must be on agenda.
Shannon weighs herself and discovers that lack of exercise, alcohol indulgence, and increased candy consumption = weight loss of 6pounds since leaving Canada. Shannon vows to continue trying to lose weight by strictly adhering to this weight loss plan.
Sunday evening comes much too quickly and SHannon yet again becomes accomplice in Jen's master plan..which, if not guessed by now, involves visit to Filthy's ..
In any case, mission is accomplished! Kudos to Jen, she rules :)
K..c'est tout. Hmm..third-person blogging may not be allits madeout to be (if it was ever made out to be??)

Saturday, June 26, 2004
Not much to report today, but I just wanted to repost a link to Backpackers Express, which is this company ofering numerous services to backpackers including cheap & fun flights (so they say anyway..16+ hours on plane just doesn't seem enticing at all to me) from Manchester to Melbourne..in case anyone wants to go/come from them (ahem..Becky R!!!)
Ke sera sera, whatever will be will be.

Ms Keri Anne Shields has been given fair warning to sleep with one eye open. How Sweet It Is (Is = Revenge) .For a millisecond I was actually flattered when she told me she’d posted a pretty picture of me on her webshots..then I considered the paradox of such a statement and realised she’d chosen (unwisely) to post Picture 138 of the 170 stored on her digital camera. Oh my dear Keri you do not know just how formidable an opponent I can be. When you least expect it….
OK..enough with the threats, will put into action soon enough don’t you worry Keri-Beri. See the prob with other people’s photo albums is that they are only concerned with whether THEY look good in pictures, thus others find rather unappealing pics of themselves posted on the Internet for all to see (with no consent). Sigh.. I can hear Carly Simon singing ‘You’re so Vain’ at this very moment… hmm..maybe that is a good song for next karaoke gig.
OK..I just visited Jen’s blog..her post today is very, well, scientific. The dynamics of our little threesome (don’t get any ideas) are really quite interesting:
2 attention-seekers/keeners (oh, come on Jen..you know its true, no sense denying)
+
1 totally laid back/morbid chick (who should still be sleeping w/ one eye open)
=
Craziness/Hilarity/Happiness
There..that is the extent of my math abilities. Have been flexing numeric abilites (what ltd ones I have) at work, with bond calculations and adding up flexi-hours. 6 years of post-secondary study ..I try not to think about it..I try not to think at all.
Oh, but discovered today that lack of thinking required for job can, in fact, encourage flow of creative juices. Scott, another temp who I am supposed to be replacing but is oddly enough still here 3 weeks later, and I have been discussing (in-depth) possible entrepreneurial ventures…and I’ve actually come up w/some brilliant ideas (lack of humility here..apologies , but chance to use brain is minimal so may be overly excited about my thoughts) . So who knows..maybe this Shanadian will be selling her own wares/services in Edinburgh soon enough..stay tuned !
It is Finally Friday. Plans for weekend are essentially non-existent. We (flat girls) have vague plan to go flat-hunting tomorrow. I am pacifist, but desperate times (lack of hot water and end of lease) call for desperate measures. I’m not sure how successful we’ll be given that we’ve yet to call anyone or arrange any viewings. Tonight we are heading out on town with Scottish guy who fancies himself to be Elvis (this is dude who might replace BC Brad) and, hopefully, some other new acquaintances..like our neighbours or Jen’s workmates (of course..JEN is completely responsible for recruitment drive this evening..so we shall see.In this case, quantity is more important than quality)
I think it advisable that we also start prepping for Canada day and go on our funnel search J BBQs galore next weekend..can’t wait!!!
Oh. and Tuesday is unofficially bake day at work so am now under pressure to create masterful dessert. On sidenote..they call all desserts Pudding over here. This, in my opinion, is just confuzzling. Say you are having pudding for dessert..then essentially you are having pudding forpudding. OR what if you are having cake…then you are having cake for pudding. Egads…. In any case, bake day can not be good for the slim figure (cough * cough) I am trying to develop.
