Hi all!!
Hope all is well in the interwebs!
As the past few days have been completely GORGEOUS, I have spent them outside in the sun working on my tan. Ok, so I’m a little burnt and when naked I look like I’m wearing a white bikini but it’s going to turn into a tan in a few days woohoo! I even planted a little garden yesterday which I am very proud of! I planted some carrots, beans, cucumbers, and spinach. I put them into little rows and am very excited to see them grow. If only I knew a way to keep the cats and raccoons out of picture!
 My little vegetable garden! I’m sure you have noticed the cool little widget on my left sidebar. See it at the top over there? Check it out, it’s really neat! Evidently, I am a “Funster”!
So I received my lovely little Blackberry in the mail a few days ago and have been obsessed with playing with it ever since. There are still lots of things I can’t figure out how to do, but I’m enjoying puttering around the internet finding different applications to download and different instructions on how to make use of it. Very fun stuff!! I downloaded a Final Fantasy theme which looks excellent and I am still on the lookout for a WoW one, cuz I’m a massive geek like that!
Right now, I am looking for some funny songs to download for my ringtones. Anyone have some good ideas for me?
As a side note, I apologize if my spam filter has eaten one of your comments. I have been getting a large number of spam comments recently, most asking me if I’d like to enlarge my penis - although I wasn’t aware that I had one but thanks. Anyway, please don’t think I hate you if your comment does not appear, my spam filter is the one that actually hates you.
 I’m probably the most impatient person on the planet. Seriously. If I want something, I want it NOW! Yesterday I ordered my new phone and apparently it is supposed to take 2-3 business days. Too long!! So it’s either tomorrow or Thursday and I’m going to wait at the window for the mailman until then!!
Here’s a picture of my new baby!! Isn’t she pretty? There’s a pretty flower design on the back of the phone too 
Omigosh I really should have asked for some of these for my birthday. See, gem-studded teeth aren’t a new phenomenon. They’ve actually been around for quite some time. StumbleUpon sent me an email and said I might like this and they were right! Check out this article from National Geographic, interesting stuff!
Thanks to L33tz0r and my family, my birthday this year was wonderful!! If you’re just tuning in, it was my 24th birthday yesterday.
Here’s what happened! On Sunday, I had a great day of shopping with my Mom. I can’t remember the last time we spent the day together doing something, just the two of us. Being the good little Canadian girl that I am, my clothing purchases were made in my local Roots store. We spent the whole afternoon browsing, trying on, drooling and talking and it was so much fun!
We arrived home at around 5 o’clock where my father was busily preparing a yummy dinner of muscles and butter to dip them in! Heaven! My godmother (whom I’ve always affectionately called GaGa) came over to say hello (or so I thought!) and drop off a birthday card. So we were eating and chatting, when all of the sudden I turn around and there are my friends and my uncle standing at the door. It took a few minutes to realize what was happening, but I finally worked it out that my family had planned a surprise party for me since I have not been home for my birthday for the past 3 years! My mother then went to the kitchen and brought out trays of food, dips and drinks … including some very strong Jello shooters haha!! I was very grateful and very surprised that my family had gone to such trouble for my birthday!
On my actual birthday (May 20, mark it on your calendars for next year!) the day started with a delish McDonald’s lunch with L33tz0r … hey I’m easily pleased! Then we moved on to play some mini golf in the warm spring sun. I won, of course, as I always do. Maybe he let me … nahhhh!!! After our 18 holes, he took me to the zoo where we saw a zebra, lions, monkeys, llamas and more! Since I haven’t got that new digital camera yet, L33tz0r bought a disposible camera for me at the gift shop so I could get a few shots of our day with the animals!
We went home to an amazing birthday meal of chicken nachos and caesar salad made by my Dad which just topped off the greatness of the day! After dinner, L33tz0r had to attend try-outs for the soccer team that he will be coaching this season so I dropped him off at the field and took a drive to my best friends apartment and went for a little walk with him so he could get some gorgeous thai food. It was a quick visit because I had to go back to the field to pick up my man and it was off to see the midnight showing of the new Terminator movie … which was very good by the way!
Ok now I am rambling but I just felt as though I had to share my wonderful birthday happenings with you. Now it’s back to work as I am currently in class … oops I may want to start paying attention!!
Just a little poke for L33tz0r and the rest of you, it’s my birthday next week!! So you should start thinking about what you’re going to get me now and go right out there and buy it!!
I’m not fussy. Ask my mother. I’m very easy to buy for! I like candy, Scooby Doo, World of Warcraft, and lots of internet-y things!
Or you can just send money. Yeah, I like that too!! My PayPal address is kimberley.gaudet {@} gmail.com. Don’t be shy! Any large amount will do!!
Nah, just kidding … I don’t really NEED anything from you (this does not include YOU L33tz0r!!) for my birthday. Comments on my birthday post next week will do just fine 
Once again, another lovely week full of lovely new followers! Thanks guys!
This week’s list is small but mighty! Hopefully I’ll have more written for you this week to keep you interested! Thanks!!
My goodness, it seems like every time I sit down to write, something else begs for my attention! I’m sure it goes the same for all of you as well.
Last week, my grandfather had double bi-pass surgery on his heart … which was a big success! The capabilities of modern medicine continue to amaze me which what can be accomplished today. He was in surgery on Wednesday and they had him up out of bed for a few minutes on Thursday. He wasn’t running, mind you (and still isn’t) but just the thought of him out of bed the next day astounded me! He is home now after spending a week in there and very happy They gave him this crazy gadget that neither he nor my grandmother can work that is a video phone, blood pressure moniter, O2 moniter all in one! He hooks up to it once a day at a specific time and transmits his vitals to the hospital. A nurse also comes on the video phone and has a look at his stitches! Crazy this technology!
Not only that but I started my Spring session courses last week, twice a week every Tues and Thurs so that has kept me good a busy. Since it is only a month long, all of the course work is smooshed into the time we have. Lots of reading and writing for this class I’m taking called Digital Democracy. It’s proving to be quite interesting as we discuss the ongoing role of the internet and technology in today’s democracy. It has come to my attention however, that most of the people in the class don’t actually have alot of experience with technology. Someone was talking about the use of Twitter by some US senators during one of Obama’s speeches. She was saying what a horrible thing it is that they are doing that rather than paying attention. She said she doesn’t want to know what they had for lunch or what they are doing. What she failed to realize is that by doing this, the senators are bringing the democratic process to the people. People feel involved and informed. Of course some people tweet what they had for lunch. But above all, Twitter is a great marketing tool.
Am I rambling? I have a feeling that I’m rambling. I just have so many thought bouncing around my head!
I have been having a bit of a crisis as such in WoW these past few days. You see, I usually feel some sort of bond or affinity with my main character. She tends to be an extension of myself, if you will. But with my druid Neffi, I have not yet felt this connection and I have been raiding at level 80 for a few weeks now. This has been weighing heavily on my desire to play and as a result, I have begun to play my many alts more frequently. Does anyone have any advice for me? I’m sure there are people who have felt this way before.
Well I think that’s my rambling done for now. Since I am feeling in the writey mood, I may just write a few posts and put them up at a later date. Oh look how productive I am!
Here are my new Twitter followers for the week. Thank you all for following!!
Thanks again guys! I received an oddly large number of followers who were looking for dates or who were linking me porn sites. Checked em today and all those accounts were suspended. How strange  Seemed like lovely girls!
I’m not sure if you’re all the same as I am, but there are generally one or two places in my house (or in my area) that when I go there, I get the best ideas. I don’t know what it is about these places but for some reason they get my creative juices flowing.
My main “idea place” is the shower. Yeah, I’m not joking. I get some of my very best ideas while showering. Rather inconvenient isn’t it? Since I can’t write anything down for future reference and all. Well, I suppose I could. But that would just get soggy. What is it about showering that sparks my synapses? I get all kinds of ideas while in the shower. Blogs to create, what to make for dinner, research paper topics, blog posts, things to buy, marketing ideas, etc. That’s not to say that these ideas are all good ones.
You wouldn’t believe the number of blogs that I have created purely based on shower ideas. I may have one or two posts on them, so they aren’t necessarily a big success but the idea came from the shower. I would have thought of something new, jumped out and dried off, then skipped to the computer to create a new blog. The next week, I’ll have forgotten all about it and moved on to something new.
I wonder what it is about the shower. Is it because I love showering so much? That I’m so happy, warm and soapy in there? Do ideas flow better when one is most content? I should really look this stuff up! You know, with my fresh Psychology degree and all. Might as well use it for something.
What do you think? Do you have an idea place?
