| A day in the Life |
I don't have anything clever to say right now so I guess I'll just tell you what I did today. Why? because it's my blog and I can do what I want :)
woke up at 10:20am
watched Dogtown and Z-boys (so good!)
did dishes and cleaned counter tops
went to the gym for 1.5 hrs
went to superstore (hell) and got groceries
talked to my dad on the phone (in TX right now)
talked to my mom on the phone (in Ohio)
ate dinner
Watched 1/2 of Mona Lisa Smile while surfing net
And that leads me up to right now, where I think I will finish posting, veg for a bit, pick up the living room, veg some more, and go to bed.
Maybe tomorrow I will post something more interesting, but for now I will leave you with a picture I took at Nancy's wedding shower. I made it all cool-lookin. And what makes it even cooler is the fact that steener is giving the finger without realizing it...hehe
peace. Labels: chaos and order, coffee, jamie |

| facts of life |
Good morning all! (it's 7:30 am) I only have a few minutes but I thought I'd post something as I've been sorta slack this past week. In all honesty, I have been a bit busy, and usually in order to post something I need time to sit and think about what I want to say, which I don't actually have time to do now.. So here's some interesting facts about me in the past week:
1. On Sunday, we went to Maple Ridge to visit Craig's cousins (it's fun having 'family' here, and they do really feel like family)
2. My parents are in Ixtapa, Mexico, at an all-inclusive resort type thing.  This is their first time at something like this, so I hope they are having a blast!!
3. I was torn this weekend while watching the SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) Awards because both Mariska Hargitay and Chandra Wilson (Dr. Bailey from Grey's Anatomy) were up for best actress in a drama series, and Chondra won. I didn't know how to feel... on one hand, I am so happy for her but I mean - it's Mariska - we go way back.. So, I'm still torn.
4. Grey's did win best cast though, which made me happy. They beat the cast of 24 but that's okay because that cast keeps changing year to year and I don't like this year's cast as much.Labels: Chandra Wilson, chaos and order, Grey's Anatomy, mariska hargitay, SAG Awards |

| Party Success! |
Tonight I hosted a welcome back/goodbye Lindsey party, and I think it really went great. Lindsey and I go way back (she was on my DTS) and she is just passing through Vancouver on her way to the Phillipines to be a midwife. It was so great to see her again, and hang out with a bunch of the 'old crowd'. We played catch phrase and ate chocolate fondue with lots of yummy things to dip in it. Henri, who came over to help before the party, and I had a bit of a fiasco with one of the fondues, but a quick trip to the store, a little help from my mom (over the phone), and a half carton of heavy cream, and we were rolling!!! mmmm...so yummy... Here's a bunch of pics. I'll post video clips tomorrow.
Steener, Lindsey, Jacqui, Nancy, Renee
 Jo, Ange, Wade, Randy  A very pregnant Joanna and Wade  The most beautiful thing  mmmm...chocolate....  Pam, Rita, Henri, Steener  Labels: chaos and order, chocolate fondue, craig, jamie, lindsey |

| a night with the cheif |
Hello friends,
So last night I went with my friend Pam, to go see Loren Cunningham speak in Fort Langley, and to help sell books. Now for those of you who don't know, Loren Cunningham is sort of a YWAM celebrity. He is the founder of our mission, and also I believe the only man in the world who's been to every country (I've heard he's in the Guinness book of world records, though I can't confirm this personally).
So anyway, I brought my camera, hoping to snap a few shots of him while he was speaking. And when we walked in, I was amazed to find that the church was soo tiny.. and there weren't even very many people coming. Then Loren walked in, and I felt nervous.... it was weird - like, this guy I've heard about for 5 years, and read his books, here he is standing 3 feet away from me. Then he introduced himself and shook my hand.. crazy :)
He spoke on faith and finances, which was really great to hear, and at the end when we were all selling books, he was sitting behind the book table with us, signing his books for people. After most people were cleared out, I got up the guts to ask him for a picture, which he gladly obliged. So cool...and I thought to myself, 'What a great night...! I'm so glad I came'
THEN... Don asked me and Pam if we'd take Loren to where he was staying! No Way! So while in the car with the big C, I text Craig and said "I'm in a car with Loren Cunningham".... he laughed.
What a great night :) Here's some pics and video clip of him speaking

It snowed again! Actually, it's more like slush.... and although it's a pain and wet and sloppy, I much prefer it to the frozen version, since i have to drive around now and it's not as slippery. All i can say is, yes I know I am from Wisconsin and should be used to it and all, but I just really don't like winter weather. At all. I am ready for it to be done. Here's a pic of our deck to give you a visual...
Anyway, not much has been going on. Just work, watch TV, go grocery shopping, eat, surf the net, sleep. That's pretty much it. Sometimes I get bored though, I miss the days where i hung out with a bunch of my girlfriends and ate and watched our shows and talked. I miss those times a lot actually.
I'm in need of a good book to read. After I finished my last one, "Whitehorn Woods" by Maeve Binchy, I haven't picked anything else up. I need a good fiction.. like can't put it down, pretend you are in it's world all day type fiction. Anyone have any ideas?Labels: chaos and order, craig, jamie, maeve binchy, vancouver, whitehorn woods |

| i love technology |
Last night Craig and I saw Apocalypto.. holy crap... it was a very inten se movie! I went from loving it, to hating it, to loving it throughout the whole show. It's a little gory - but the story is great and the effects/design/filming etc is phenominal! Seriously.. I do recommend it. See the preview here.
And also, for my Grey's fan friends, I am finished with season one, and about 3 episodes into season 2... ahhh i love this show! New episode on January 11th - see the preview here.
AND last but not least, new SVU tonight.. finally! Reviews coming ;)
UPDATE: did anyone happen to see Oprah today? Wow it was powerful and I pretty much cried through the whole thing! Read about it here.Labels: Apocalypto, chaos and order, Grey's Anatomy, Oprah, SVU |

| new year, new template |
 Happy 2007!! I think a good kick off to this new year is a new look to my blog! I am still not done, working out little annoyances and things.. but atleast it's in the works.
Well, Craig and I had a nice evening last night. We didn't do a whole lot, but we did cook a great dinner a nd play a pretty h-core game of scrabble. We even managed to stay up to watch the ball drop! Here's some pics from our wild and crazy new year's eve party.
Also, Craig has updated his blog, with hopes of writing in it again, so check it out here.Labels: chaos and order, craig, jamie, new year |
