sad lappy

my laptop is no longer accepting a charge. the new macbook is on it's way, still. it's been over a month now and it's not like i'll be able to use it when it gets here. uggggh. i need to upload photos from postsecret. it was wonderful. my favourite postcard was there. it made me cry, like it always does. adam and i both connected with a few. some made me just beam with happiness, other made me feel crushed. a few were "mine" and i couldn't have written them better myself.

before we (hubby, Rachel & myself) left i placed a secret i've carried in my bag for months now (between my passport and my father's obituary) in between the pages of my favourite postsecret book, on my favourite secrets page. felt nice to let it go. felt silly, slightly embarrassed, but most of all -- lighter.

before the exhibition opened Rachel, Adam and I watched the skateboarders. they would do really well till i whipped out my camera. it was like shell-shock for them. i did grab a couple decent shots. nothing of notoriety.

after postsecret, we took Rachel to BC in Armory because i had been raving about it to Adam since Sam and i went to lunch there. (Alyssa, have you guys been back there? Dinner was just as, if not more amazing than lunch!) had good conversation over Rachel spilling water ;) and how horrible bubble dresses make EVERYONE (yes, even you) look. thought i didn't like maxi dresses. then i saw them in solids in a boutique. between Rachel telling me over and over about their comfort and the cuteness of the solids, i think i'm sold and now must have 5.

the remainder of the weekend was spent AWAY from all things internet, selling all of our crap (including Maddox's baby stuff -- NO MORE BABIES!!!!) at a garage sale. we made $275 over the weekend. not bad for the fact that it STORMED (we're talking hail people) on Saturday and was 50 degrees on Sunday.

met baby Ronan Alexander Leonard this weekend. he is perfection times one million. he was born on 1 May. he's so precious, a champion nurser and a big big boy. 9lbs 10oz at birth! :)

sunday night was spent spending said garage sale funds. bought a new dish set, maddox got pjs and jeans, both of which he really needed. adam and i got groceries and a 6 pack of Swallow Wit. Caleb came over after work and we shared in beers, pillows and M:tG. i got belligerent and i'm pretty sure i referred to everyone and everything as "gay". went to bed around 1am only to have maddox to wake up at 4am, then again at 5am. brought him to bed at 5am, snuggled with him till he passed out and i did laundry and dishes while trying not to wake the boys. (Hubby, Maddox, Caleb).

i've spend most of today inside my own head, staring at a blank computer screen. waiting for some brilliant idea to pop into my head so i can finish a very very very large project that is due Wednesday. forgot my ipod so today has been unusually silent, making escape from my own thoughts nay impossible.

i meant for this post to be brief but as always, brevity and andrea do not mesh well.
