adam's recent post about middle names got me thinkin about nicknames... there's nothing i love more than a good nickname. and i'm not talking like a shortened version of someone's name, like chris when their name is christopher, i'm talking a nickname that means something. here's some of the best ones i've heard:
afternoon gary (worked with my dad, never could be found before lunch hahaha) lyin king (kid from george's basketball team in high school that lied alot) bearclaw (guy that my family knows, hunts bears) pickle (my grandfather, i didn't know what his real name was for a long time) ozzer (last name osborne) bleener (last name o'blenes) big sexy (who that one is is anonymous, eh george) chicken wing (big sexy's sidekick) raisin (guy that worked with my dad) meatloaf (friend of ritchies) king tut (guy in our town.. looks just like how you would picture king tut)
i'm sure there's many more, and if i remember them i'll add them later on... what's your favourite nickname?
sorry guys.. haven't posted in almost a week! what a crazy week it's been! people shopping, too many shipments.. no space!! ahhhhh it's all good tho.. it's the most wonderful time of the year! ha! there isn't really much new... still makin wreaths, still planning on LA for january and still travellin to work everyday. i did get a wicked pic of our first snowfall a coupla weeks ago... it's hard to imagine it's winter when the temp was like 17 degrees all day!
had a great weekend in moncton with the girls... kristal, "kw", holly, terri, summer, glenna... it was awesome. drove down friday after work, hung out with holly, kris, sum and "kw" for the evening.. and we just won't mention the uhhhh, incident . (lol) oh gosh..
then saturday we slept in (well, me and summer didn't) and had some visitors, then went to mapleton park with terri where we had a great walk, a few laughs and the funniest old man i've ever met in my life. we went out for supper on saturday nite (eh bada boom bada bing) and then just chilled and watched movies. sunday was church, then home! it was sooooo nice to meet summer and see kris again! ** for more/better pics (until i get some more) check out kristal or holly's blog!! **
back to work tomorrow... i wish i could turn back time and begin vacation again... how does one week fly by so fast?
it seems like i just started, and here i am done! that's ok tho... let the countdown begin till next vacation.... in beautiful, sunny, warm (it better be) Los Angeles, California!! (dates yet to be determined.. then the countdowns will start lol)
It's cold in here feels like everything's upside down I can feel you talkin but i can barely make out the sound And I've been kickin around these parts feels like a year And I'm gonna change this world if I ever get out of here
She wants to dress me in pink paints my bedroom blue And i just laugh to myself cause only I know the truth
This love is my only emotion haven't learned any fear, any shame It's kinda funny with all this commotion Guess they've got me to blame They don't even know my name They don't even know my name
Well, I've never felt so ready Think it's finally time Cause that big ol' world is waitin And it's mine, all mine Just then everything got real quiet And it got real bright And a man took my hand, said don't worry Your Mama's gonna be alright
Then he opened the gate And I followed him in Said you can wait right here 'til it's your turn again
His love is the one true emotion Heaven knows no fear, no shame I never got to set my wheels in motion But they loved me just the same They didn't even know my name They didn't even know my name
You love me just the same And you didn't even know my name
