welcome to the world, baby girl!

Sending love and congrats out to my dear friends Brent and Michelle on the birth of Miss Claire Julianna MacArthur last night.

I worked with Michelle at camp and enjoyed three months of a terrific summer with her… not to mention all the delicious hours I’ve spent since then at her house in Kelowna receiving the best hospitality this side of the universe.

Brent? I watched him weep like a little girl at his first U2 concert. Seriously. Weeping.

Love you guys!

And welcome sweet Claire!

News to the minute:

1. I’m not buying Uggs. What kind of moron, after slagging a brand of shoes for years — and refusing to wear ANY shoes herself PERIOD because they make her feet too hot — goes and spends more than $200 of her hard-earned money on footwear designed for optimal warmth?

I live in a WET city, not a cold one. I like my feet fresh and COOL, not swathed in suede-y, wooly hell. I still don’t know what I was thinking. It was like a small trend virus captured my brain. But I’m healthy now. And have no idea what type of shoes to buy for the upcoming more-wet, less-warm season. Back to square (puddle) one.

2. My sore throat from earlier has officially blossomed into a sort of burr-in-throat sensation accompanied by achy ears. I could be having an allergic reaction to something (maybe it was all that eye contact with the new laundry spider?), but if that’s the case, it should pass soon.

I DON’T HAVE TIME TO GET SICK. Just so you know. There will be no tolerance.

3. GO CANUCKS GO! With two decent wins over the Oilers in a Home-Home series this weekend, I think our boys are almost officially “back” from the Philly fiasco. We face the SJ Sharks tonight, and I think we need that victory to seal the deal and get us focused back on the big, long season ahead, and not just a blowout fluke of a contest.

Luongo is still whoa. No other way to say it. And I was pleased to see Brendan Morrison stepping up this weekend… and even a bit of fire (and a smile?!) out of Naslund! Could Vigneault have finally found his number?

And no, Darren… Trev is most certainly NOT done yet. You don’t ride out the crap he went through before the pre-season just to hang up your skates.

I think he’s just warming up and getting his legs under him for a great final period of leadership. That team needs his steadiness right now.

4. Has anyone ever actually taken that Cold fX stuff? It sure didn’t help me make a positive buying decision when my own most-loathed former NHL player was the front page spokesman! Gah!

GEE, THANKS FOR HELPING HIM STAY IN THE GAME.

Ack. The idea of this wedding sends me into total cognitive dissonance.

My two least favourite TV genres, the sanctimonious family hour and the reality mudslinger, together at last.

In human form. With Della officiating.

And butterflies being released.

I hate butterflies.

The grin seems so ironic now.
