Grocery Shopping for what?

What kind of cheese will I eat today? I'm unbelievable... ;)
Johnathan: "We need to go grocery shopping."
GDC: "For what?"
Johnathan: "For groceries."
GDC: "I thought you went last night?"
Johnathan: "I did go last night." *yanks GDC's chair out from breakfast table, and leans down towards her ear "You, me, car, now."
GDC: "Apparently I'm 'wanted'. 
No suprise. Whatever. I'll see you guys later."
So Johnathan 'escaped' the cold, clammy hands of Bianca this morning. Actually, like I had said if I could just put aside her annoying remarks, she was good at keeping up so it wasn't all that bad.
But she mostly insisted on asking for his help when it came to everything. "Johnathan where's my bedroom? Johnathan I can't undo my zipper (she arrived in a rather nice, but inapropriate for the occassion navy cocktail dress yesterday) Johnny will you watch a movie with me, how about we go for a walk?" Quite frankly the questions never stopped... But whatever.
So this morning we took off at about 7:30am as soon as Chris came down for breakfast saying 'Hey John, the love bug has awoken'.
And we went 'grocery shopping'. 
But instead we went for morning coffee. Which was rather nice. And since he's been doing a lot of paper work over this trip and I've been at his side, I have been doing a whole lot of nothing. So much for the snow, but this is almost equally as fun.
I think we might end up going 'grocery shopping' again tonight and I might steal Naomi to go with us because she's been run a little ragged with some of the kids. We have one self obsessed 15 yr old which by the way I haven't seen this much love in the room since narcisuss discovered himself. I think she could use a break.
Till the next grocery shop. Nothing interesting has really happened.

So you wanna be a SuperHero?

What kind of cheese will I eat today? I'm unbelievable... ;)
Well, I have chanters, you know, like the one's from Final Fantasy Advent Children. Yeah, they chant in latin, I can lend them out to you if you want.
But what about that outfit? Are tights really necessary? So far, I've got combat skater shoes, (which by the way are in suede), and the *evil black suit* (it's black and shiny and ultimatly full of villain-ness* Then the black suede gloves which are full of complete awesome-ness. To top it off, the hair is always perfect. But must I disclose whether I'm a good guy or a bad guy? I'd rather not check that box.
So what are you?-and your super hero outfit?
Do you have any "special powers"?
My powers consist of good fashion sense, pink cupcake hunting (I can detect one within a 10.8 mile radious) and the extra super powers of being able to tell the difference between cheap, expensive and high quality chocolate and coffee. 
So? What's your theme song?
(my theme song is "your unbelievable" by EMF) (and yeah, my other power is being caught in the 90's)

"Viewer Discretion is Advised" voice, you're so suggestive!
-I was watching Bravo (yes, the channel) and that guy was saying the whole "this program contains scenes of violence and of suggestive nature. Viewer discretion is advised"
And when I was listening to his voice I ws thinking, "My my Bravo Man, aren't you a little too suggestive to be making this comment?" 
That's what I thought.

She makes the most amazing Hot Chocolate...
Record: - Subscribe
What kind of cheese will I eat today? mmm.... chocolate....
Johnathan and I were watching Charlie and the Chocolate factory about a week before we took off here (which is interesting because he's my superior but it's nice because it never quite feels like it, more like a mentor instead) and so I headed on out to Chapters (yay ) and purchased the book. Believe it or not it's the only one out of the collection I have never read. huh. Anyways, back to the story... So I brought the book with me and was reading it and well, what can I say?-It made me crave chocolate. So this morning, after discovering that only a few people like to work out in the morning I headed on down to the gym where I met up with Johnathan and had a pleasant work out. I beat my record from yesterday, biking 7.9miles per 30min and now to 8.1miles per 30min. *whew* I was spent, but relieved because yesterday I was a little miffed that I was only .1miles away from an even 8. So after that and having a quick shower (it was about 7:30am) I came down to the kitchen where everyone else was either just getting up and briefly washed for breakfast or a few like Maddox and Naomi who had already gone for a morning walk. The woman who own the B&B (the couple is Bauer & Fieny), made Johnathan, Maddox, Naomi and myself a home made hot chocolate with cinomon. It was most delightful! It reminded me of my book so right after I was done I tore upstairs to my room to find it and ran back downstairs to read it while among company. It really set the mood ...
I think I actually enjoyed the hot chocolate more since it was so rich and chocolaty (mmmm.... chocolaty...) A traitor to my coffee bean... (
)
But what can I say, definatly worth it.
Tonight we're expecting fresh meat, her name is Bianca and Chris was telling me that she has just the hugest crush on Johnathan. (awwww! *kiss*kiss* *smooch*smooch* Isn't that just cute!!!!) -{So I've been telling him all day } It actually wouldn't be that noticeable but she's called several times today about whatever, each requesting to speak to 'Johnny'. rofl. He's such a serious guy, it's so funny to see some young bubbly thing all over him. (Apparently she's about 19, giddy giddy, and sweet spotless sunshine filled with candy and sugar and honey and everything else worth some money) "So I've heard that..." Her father is good friends with Johnathan's father and so Bianca has of course met him and upon this she has taken a keen interest in the outdoors. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against pretty girls or women who wear makeup, heck, you should see Naomi apply lipstick during turbulance while we're out rafting, she's quite mastered the art... But the one time today (our little buttercup was on speakerphone today while in her 'private car') she began to panic that the house we were in wasn't near a 'suitable coffee shop' and lacked servants. *throws hands up in the air* I think when I heard this, I really started to dislike her here. I mean before, it ws all alright and okay, I'll just have to meet her and I'm sure she's not that bad. But seriously? Naomi told her about the hot chocolate but she still threw a fit.
But that's fine, I mean it's not like I'm always going to be working with her. And I'm sure if I just ignore any annoying remarks she makes, I probably won't notice them any more and it will become nice to have her as company.
You (yes you, sitting in the chair, reading this) and I both know what I just said about 'nice and good company' is as full of crap as the last person who said orange was the new pink. But I think I'll run on it for now. It can't hurt to try...?
Anyways, I'm gonna GTFO to get some hot chocolate. (mmm... chocolaty...) I'll talk to you guys soon, and by the way, I'll try tomorrow to let you know how it goes. It looks as though 'Johnny' has taken a turn to go out for a six hour grocery shop. I'm sure he's not avoiding anything...
Cheers*

Holy Cricket! It's all here!

What kind of cheese will I eat today? smiley
Holy Cricket is right!
I expected this laid back old fahsioned manor, like I had said before, hunting and fishing out in God's Middle of Nowhere... Well this elderly couple who run the B&B are former health nuts and purchased the place way back when. Since then they've taken one of the rooms and converted it into a fittness room, as I was telling Eadwine (sorry the computer is old and only lets you use one window at a time so I don't know if I spelled the name right... ) They have a heavy duty treadmill (sp?) Which I got to do 25 min on, some weights, other equpment, but also a bike that has a preprogrammed CV Workout, yay! (30min, VC Workout). So what can I say? I really enjoyed it. They have a pool, but it's outside and it's not exactly warmest of warm out there, besides I only enjoy swimming when I can do laps and there aren't tons of people around.
This morning went well, I was pleased last night to find out that all trainers could have their own rooms. Everyone else is bunked up in 2's. (which is fine, they're big old fashioned rooms, it's not like theyr'e soffocating or anything... ) But anyways, there's something quite relaxing about it all. Tomorrow we'll be using that weight room for sure to help train some of the kids. The water was particularly cold today so some of the trainers and kids used the pool for some rescure exercises etc etc. Tomorrow should be better, we'll probably go on a hike and what not, do some climbing, whatever.
I made sure to pick up some "Jelly Bellies" Jelly Beans, (you know, the one's that have Pina Colada, Popcorn, and Sherbert falvors?) Just before we left. I also stocked up nice and neat on those alfaghetti's, Scooby-Doo kids pasts stuff and Chef Boyardi ? (wtf? how are you supposed to spell that?)
Anyways. That's that.
I'll try to talk to you guys soon.
Have fun. And there's of course a big 'Hi' and yeah, that's to a few people, you know who you are!
Cheers*

Gone off Venturing Again...
Record: - Subscribe
What kind of cheese will I eat today? oh man...
I'm going off venturing again... But also for work. I'll be back in a week. Heading up into God's Middle of Nowhere to train some kids survival style. I sincerely hope it snows and I can collect my pay and chill at the B&B we're booked in. I'm looking forward to it. It's an old hunting/fishing manor, yes you may have noticed I help book these places on purpose. Well my colleague Maddox also enjoys them. And since we find these places at great prices our superiors don't seem to care.
This week it's "social skills" and "death management"... Haha. Wow, think those two go well together? I shouldn't be so cruel, it's not 'death management' it's dealing with nature and things that are likely to happen and how to deal with them...
IE::: if you fall in freezing water, what to do. Or if you dislocate something what to do. If you're having disturbing thoughts about smacking your buddy over the head with a paddle what to do... You know, things like that...
But anyways, I should go pack. I'll miss you Aeonity, hopefully I'll find a comp up there and give an update...
Till friday...

Couldn't Sleep

What kind of cheese will I eat today? damned
Couldn't sleep so I went out walking. I spent this time thinking about it but mostly heard us talking. There were so many things I should have said. Those left out words are echoing inside my mind.
It is as though there's blood on my hands and it won't come off. But not all of it's mine.
It is as though something bad is going to happen.
Something bad is going to happen.
Stop. Stop haunting me. These nightmares never go away. They always leave me restless. It is said that when you dream and imagine it is of things you have seen before, shapes and ideas you have seen and heard before. But what happens when all these shapes and ideas are far to foreign for anything you should have seen before?
Then what?

God I'm luckier than I ever thought I'd be...
Record: - Subscribe
What kind of cheese will I eat today? keen
What I have is nothing to my name
No property to speak of
And no trophy for my game
Intangible and worthless
My assets on the page
My coffers are empty
Any offer of safety has faded away
But what I have is
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
And that makes me lucky
God, I'm lucky, so much luckier than I ever thought I'd be
'Because what I have
Means so very little to this world
A promise that I kept and a bridge that I saved before it burned
The sacrifice that I made
Brought me to my knees
A choice that cost me everything and set somebody else free
But what I still have
Is the value that you see in these things
And every time I forget those things you bring them right back to me
With your patience
When I'm blinding mad
And your passion
When I'm really, really bad
And your eyes
Taking in everything I am
And your body and soul and the way that you know how I treasure you
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this

Good Morning World... Let's start the day together...
Record: - Subscribe
What kind of cheese will I eat today? cheery ... however you spell... ?
I don't know how...
I don't know if it's possible...
That is until today...
I believe I woke up on the right side of the bed...
How? You may ask...
When one has a new shiny and exceptionally pretty coffee/espresso maker that has a timer set for 7:45am... Anything is possible... *grins*
And then because of the snow and ice I decided to walk rather than drive down to the shoppers to mail a few things and also grab a sweetie. The bakery had just finished setting out "chocolate fudge caramel brownies" and may I add just how amazing they were. And for the first time in a while I actually bought some safari cartoon stickers from the loony store...
Perhaps I'm coming down with something?
*feels forehead*
It's got to be the coffee. I hear an especially good cup can work wonders for the addict...
On a side note I was discussing with a friend who's thinking of changing her name, if we were to change our names arbitrarily *not necessarily to something serious, but just for fun* what would it be?
I told her I was quite fond of the name "Gustavus Vasa" and she gave me a dirty look so a bit more seriously I told her, "Daphne Hollingbush". She on the other hand chose "Naomi Leighton". I told her that perhaps she should consider the name, Gertrude and that I would call her Gertie for short. Or maybe Winifred. I was once again met with another dirty look. *hah* Anyways...
If you could change your name for fun or otherwise... what would it be?
