My name is Naomi.. and this is my blog :)
I'm a directionally challenged 21 year old Canadian with a special love for anything related to words.
I collect memories through photos, journals, and blogs. Because life goes by way too fast to keep up.
Naomi in a nutshell
We like weddings.
Other random highlights from the weekend:
- Taking pictures of West Ed like tourists
- Salivating for Pinkberry, only to realize it was still under construction
- Random Spanish phrases (como estas?)
- Gossip about family drama
- Grandma’s confusion as to which grandson was getting married
Now… back home and back to work. And just when I get complacent and think I’m pretty smart/capable/competent… I do something so face-palm-groan-inducing that it’s pretty unbelievable I actually have a job. Case in point: compiling a bunch of data and splitting the costs into quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, etc.)… only to realize a week later that a quarter is 3 months and not 4. Hahahaha.
My mom recently started using a touch screen phone and is finding it very difficult to text. Here is a sample text from today:
“Dad confirmed training fown here with u. I told him u will leave at 4:30. U guys communicate eith each othet. J font bogher yo correct my mistakes angmor. Just guesd, very ftudtrstinv”
Legit l-o-l-ed.
This is what ICBC practice looks like.
They stick you in a small room for 3 hours with flip chart paper, smelly markers, and a 30 page case. Sometimes the marker smell is good, and sometimes it leads to a migraine of epic proportions. Today was the latter.
Today I had Cheetos for breakfast and instant noodles for lunch. Breakfast/lunch of champions? I think yes!
Anna found my oldest diary today. Funniest, best diary ever. Examples:
- October 15, 1996: “Today i ate punut buter. i got 51/54 in my spelling test.”
- October 17, 1996: “I brought my musical bear for show and tell.”
- October 22, 1996: “Today music teacher taught me ghost songs and I don’t like it.”
- March 25, 1997: “Today I lost my front tooth. I was very happy.”
- July 10, 1997: “Today I lost my incisor teeth”
Not sure how I got 51/54 on a spelling test when I couldn’t even spell peanut butter correctly, hahahaahha. But life was so simple at 6/7 years old - before puberty and boys and drama!
Taking a walk outside during my lunch break was a good idea. Remembering to bring sunscreen = an even better idea. :)
