Me (obviously, not serious): "Why are you such an ass*?" =)
Him (three guesses who): "I am not a ass*. I am just being me. The fact that society puts me in that category and labels me as an asshole is beyond my control." =)
These are the kinda serious conversations we have. Seriously. =) It is fun to have this kind of friend ... =) at least he has a good answer for everything!!
asshole
noun
1.
insulting terms of address for people who are stupid or irritating or ridiculous
2.
vulgar slang for anus [syn: arse]

Tofino and a Simpsons movie!
As you know this is my big holiday this year!
Update:
The answer to your question - my wonderful friends with the "hungry for information, enquiring minds want to know attitude" ...
Your big email question of the day yesterday seems to be - "who is the sexy girl???" ...
... I am thrilled you are all so excited about my love life, really I am.
And thanks for asking privately, not via blog ...
... But sorry to disappoint ... and be ever-so-boring ... (did you really think I'd write about it anyways??? )
... but the '"sexy girl" is a friend who happens to be sexy. =)
I am guilty of sensationalizing for the sake of the 'blog'. Geez, do you have to call me on EVERYTHING? =)
Anyways, moving on ... apparently we are going to try surfing! I see stitches in my future! =) Ouch! Good thing there is a plastic surgeon in the family now!
About the third night - last night (actually once before too) I met the woman we are staying with on the third night. She plays hockey on "sexy girl's" hockey team - and - to be completely honest - she scares me a little ... actually the thought of "sexy girl" and her wreaking havoc (sp?) on the shores of Van. Isle. have me MORE than a little nervous, hee hee!
I have a feeling it will be an adventurous couple of days for little old KellyNerd. Yikes! Bring on the healing qualities of gin! =)
AND on a COMPLETELY different subject ... as if camping was not enough ... The Simpson's Movie is coming out this weekend! I am so excited to see it. I am excited for YOU (yes, you) to see it too, I know you've waited a long time for it!
Update:
- We are going to stay an extra night! Yippee!
- Staying in Ucluelet (can't wait to try and say that drunk!) instead of Tofino. Two nights there and one night at a friend of a friend of a friend's house. Here's a lovely pic of the beach in Ucluelet:

say hello to my little friend
say hello to Lucy. Isn't she pretty??
Lucy is my new little friend. I promise not to drown her, throw her or drop her!
*****
Anyways ...
I am escaping the big bad City this weekend. Going to give up the ocean and head out to the boonies.
- I am going to talk as little as possible (the noise in my head is loud enough at the moment).
- I am going to move as slowly as possible.
- I am going to smell a few roses (literally).
- I am going to hug Chico's parents and listen to his mom's amazing stories. He will probably get a hug or two too.
- I am going to get fat(ter) eating yummy homemade Indian food.
- I will read, read and read some more. This is my current read.
- I will go to the gym with Chico Saturday morning. (yes, I realize this contradicts the moving slowly as possible, but it is my blog so whatever).
- Saturday - Chico is going to take me to Harrison Hot Springs for ICECREAM!!!
- I will spend as much time as possible outdoors in my bikini sunning myself.
- I am going to write. Write and write some more. I know I have a short story in this head of mine worth telling!
I hope you all have a great weekend. Thanks for checking in on nerdgirl. Sometimes I need the attention. Right now is one of those times.

... kissing ...
Could you please put your hand on the back of my neck ...
pull me around and close to your face ...
close enough to smell your peppermint gum ...
long enough to look into your kind eyes ...
and to remember just how long it has been since you really kissed me ...

Kelly with too much overtime + no dinner + a view of the ocean + a few too many glasses of wine + good company = kelly spilling all her secrets!

on happiness
I read an article in the Globe today called 'Are you Happy?'.
Well readers - are you?
When asked, the answer to that question for me is a genuine yes.
I like my life. I have a wonderful family, a beautiful daughter, incredible lifelong friendships, amazing new friends, a job that challenges me, and I am fairly sure I am a good human being (as I've said before - flawed, severly flawed) but a desire to be good, better ...
... indeed I have all the necessary items to be able to say that I am genuinely happy.
Does this mean that I do not have hurt in my life? Of course I do. I have anxiety and stress. I have longings that go unfulfilled. I have days where I am unsure of myself and my place in the world. Some days I do not know my purpose and if I should even have one other than enjoying my life.
And there is pain, plenty of it. These things, I am told, are a part of life.
Something I've learned along the way is that it is the moments, the single snapshots of your day/life that add up to make it a good life. My mom is a great proponent of doing what you need to do in the moment to make yourself happy.
Looking back on those crazy moments when I feel insane with hurt or am so stressed I cannot see a way out and I dont know what to do I recognize that I have the power in those moments to say to myself "What do I need right NOW to make me happy in this moment" and to take the results of that question and proactively seek out that happiness. When I dont do that for myself, I have nobody to blame but myself.
It is hard mantra to follow in certain [most? some? =))]situations and I fail miserably sometimes [often, always, never, sometimes =)))] (nice try Kel, more like OFTEN!) ... But I do recognize that I have the power in my own hands to be happy, to enjoy my life and to be in charge of making the choice to be happy. It is just that, a decision.
One of the lines in the article reads (and hits home with me):
"The state of the world is often annoying. But maybe you've been too busy channelling positive energy to notice. Freud certainly wasn't. The father of modern psychology thought that humans weren't meant to feel consistently happy, since "all the regulations of the universe run counter to it." And yet somewhere along the line we forgot Freud and embraced Tony Robbins."
it goes on to say:
"The problem with the culture of incessant happiness is that it's one of the things that drives social dissatisfaction, you're asked to take yourself as a constant self-improvement, and frankly this never ending quest is exhausting."
I'd be interested to 'hear' your opinions on this subject. Those two paragraphs hit home, then they didn't then I went back around again. Doesn't matter. What do you think??

what classic dame would you be?
So Marf had this fun little test on her blog today.
My results were this:
You scored 16% grit, 19% wit, 52% flair, and 26% class!
You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

aging
I will be 38 years old this year. My beautiful daughter will be 18 next month.
I am getting up there. Aging. Getting older. More mature. Ok, probably not that. I am pretty much who I am ever going to be... did that make sense? Not really, but whatever.
I do not actually worry too much about getting older. My mom tells me that each decade gets better and better. She is having a blast in her fifties!
I am getting 'life lines', a few real wrinkles (that pesky one between my brows!), my body has changed, and quite honestly I am having to pluck more often and in a wider range of areas than before!
I know, not attractive, not what you wanted to hear or know about me, but there it is!
I have been growing the natural colour back out in my hair. Apparently, my hair is a dark auburn. I did not remember that. It is also sprinkled in the crown with a little gray now.
I am ok with all of this. Really.
As long as I'm healthy, I am ok with all of this. And the McGriddles seem to be doing their job for me healthwise ... =)
My problem is this:
If I have to have the laugh lines, wrinkles, extra hair and body changes - why in the heck do I still have to put up with zits. Blemishes. My face breaking out??!?
It just doesn't seem fair.

breathless . . .
What is the point of having a heart if you aren't going to allow it to race once in awhile? =)

Chico bought me these ...

I love them. I really really really love them.
I feel pretty and happy and did I say pretty(?) in them ...
I even named them! =))))))

today's five continued ...
One of my friends, who wishes to remain anonymous, who I will forever call "Spam" now (good story) answered my five questions from Finn...
Number three is the BEST!
1.Worm (because it just sounds cool)
2.Failure to laugh
3“Girlfrind, you look FABULOUS – now sashay-chantez through those gates…mmmhhhhmmmmm You Know It; God is Gay”
Get me out of my office.
Kind, Caring, Compassionate…but still a little dirty (in the best kind of way).

today's five
I have answered five questions today from my friend Finn. See her blog today for an explanation of where these five questions came from.
1. What is your favourite word?
My Answer: Suspect ... as in “I suspect …”
2. What to your mind would be the greatest of misfortunes?
My Answer: A wasted life.
3. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
My Answer: Thanks for playing my game of life, here is the secret to life, and now you are lucky enough to go back, do it again with all the secrets!
4. What is your present state of mind?
My Answer: A little annoyed, very excited about my weekend, and a little frisky!
5. What would you like to be?
My Answer: Useful, needed and an inspiration, if just to one person...
If you want to play, too, type “interview me” in my comment section (don't forget your email address). I will respond by emailing you 5 questions. I get to pick them, and you have to answer them all. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. When others comment asking you to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions and so on and so on and so on.
... FUN... kind of reminds me of my Secret Game!

"oilers fan" probably wont let me anywhere near the car lot after this ...
... but what the heck we need to lighten things up on this blog again ...
Here's my secret. I keep a list of things I want to do before I croak. I thought I would share one of them with you today:
I have ALWAYS wanted to drive a car in a smash up derby.
Just call me Leather Tuscadero!
Seriously.

making out
I love that commercial for (diet?) Pepsi where the wife says all she wants from her youth is for her and her husband to make out like they used to ...
=)
Remember making out????????
Typing this made my eyes close for a second and the sides of my lips curl up into a smile. =)
There is nothing better, at any age, than sitting in a car somewhere (especially when you should be getting out of the car to run an errand or some other mundane task) and suddenly there is a hand on the back of your neck pulling you forward and you find yourself being KISSED.
Unexpectedly, gloriously kissed.
KISSED.
Kissed with intention.
The kind of kiss that makes your knees weak, your eyes water, your insides tumble around.
The kind of kiss that makes you forget that you are in a car in the middle of the street with children walking by.
The kind of kiss that when you look back on it a year later your knees still want to send you crumbling to the ground.
The kind of kiss that makes you wonder why you aren't ALWAYS kissing.
The kind of kiss that make wonder why you would spend any portion of your day doing anything else but making out.
*Sigh*
Forget holding my hand. Can you please KISS me?

and more proof (as if you needed any) that i am a total loser
Me and Meg standing in Chapters:
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MEGAN! I. HAVE. TO. HAVE. THIS."
Dutiful daughter - rushing over... "what mama, what?"
"FINGER PUPPETS!" "Greatest writers of all time, FINGER PUPPETS!"
"Finger puppets?" *See eyeroll combined with pulling hair over her face trying to hide the fact she is with me.*
"Tolstoy, Shakespeare, Virginia Wolfe and Charles Dickens!!!!!!!!!! They are magnetic! It says right here on the box -"You can put them on your fridge when the show's over!!" "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Mama, you're nuts."
"Possibly, but I. WANT. THEM."
*Suddenly the child reels in her laughter and get serious for a second ...* "Mama, maybe you should think about it and wait for payday." "You may not think these are so great tomorrow." *Snicker, snicker*
"Maybe, but how much do you think would be tooooo much for finger puppets. Seriously." *Both of us close to tears now ...*
"Seriously. Like as if I would suddenly have the need for finger puppets .... ok, fine I wouldn't pay more than 25.00 bucks!"
"HA, they are 24.00!"
And that was it ... we started laughing so hard we had to leave the store ...
Minutes later ... sitting at my desk... dreaming of finger puppets ... dammit... I should have bought them!

about the weekend ...
Some of the best laid plans never come to fruition ... and that is always when you have the best weekend ...
Thursday ... Homemade spaghetti dinner for Chico ... damn I'm a good cook! One dinner down, ten to go. (I owe him BIG TIME!)
Friday ... drinks at Ceilis ... blondie, you didn't show up (am I ever going to meet the new man??) ... I love you anyways ... but Chico, Jasmine, her honey Steve and I ended up at LaBodega with a pitcher of Sangria and a heck of a lot of great food! God that waitress had the BEST eyebrows ... sorry Chico for discussing her fabulous eyebrows with her... she didn't seem to mind! Just be glad Jasmine and I didn't drag her into the bathroom for further inspection! =))))
Saturday ... What art show? Who's unreliable now? Sheesh, I suck. Sorry Heidi. Ended up with cramps and decided to hunker in with Chico, t.v. dinner and BORAT! Who knew they made rubber fists... ugh. I am so LAME!
Sunday, McDonalds for breakfast, the remainder of Borat, some Coronation Street... no wonder Chico and I are still single!
I did, however, get outside in the beautiful sunshine for a (short) run. It was a beautiful afternoon.
