Facebook Statuses, ABC style...

Because I feel like making a list and telling you all about life at the SAME time (efficient and impressive, I know), behold, 24 facebook statuses in alphabetical order:

Niki...
...aims for perfection...but usually settles for less. : )
...burrowed under blankets and enjoyed a day inside when she saw the weather today.  Oh wait, that's what she should have done...
...could just jump for joy every time she feels a kick...but only kicks from one certain McCorkindale.  No one else.
...dreads hours 3-31 of the upcoming road trip.
...enjoys Sherlock Holmes as I type...with chicken alfredo pizza (yum!).
...forgets words quite often these days and has to spend forever just sitting and thinking until she remembers them again.
...giggled when the dog farted.
...hints at certain things, like chores and gifts and other such things...it's so much less presumptuous than asking outright.  That is, if you're subtle about it...
...initially thought that Ikea could do no wrong...until they discontinued the exact piece of furniture that she'd been hoping for.
...jokes around daily with her husband...it's just so fun to laugh together.
...kan't think of anything to write for her "k" status because it annoys her when people write "c" words with a "k" just so they'll suit their purposes...
...loves that she'll be able to spell words like neighbour and favourite the RIGHT way again soon!
...modified her sandals today so that they won't hurt her feet anymore AND will accommodate the swelling that is sure to come later this summer.
...notices the little look that her husband gets on his face that gives away exactly what he's thinking!  (Oh, the power I have...it's almost like mind-reading...)
...opened a strange letter from Manitoba Hydro today...would have rather had a taste of home in a more personal, less confusing form.
...packed alot of the apartment with her husband today. *sigh*
...questions their ability to fit everything into the car on Friday.
...randomly sees cars that remind her of old friends, like bright blue Geo Metro convertibles and light blue, old Honda Civics.
...says that she won't miss the sirens...but she might.  Then again, the silence of Saskatchewan WILL be nice...
...turned a 650 square foot apartment into a home over the last 9 months...and now back into an apartment in just a few hours.
...understands that life is tough...but doesn't understand why.
...values each and every thing that her husband does for her.
...watches the sky get darker and and cloudier and more like rain every minute...
...x-rated movies are not my favourite.
...yells in her mind when she drives...but just occasionally.  Usually she just sighs at the misfortune of others not knowing how to drive properly.
...zebras have stripes, not spots. (didn't you know?)

The move is coming quickly.  We're into our last week here.  It is so unreal.  We only have three more full days here.  I did laundry for the last time here today.  We packed alot of our stuff today.  We only have enough food to last until Friday...but not enough to have a balanced diet until then!  That's just how it is right before a move, though.  Eat what you have and try to get rid of most things before you go.  I'm getting more and more excited every day to see our Lennox again and to see the drab prairie brown again and to sleep in my bed again and...to be home.  California has certainly become home over the last 9 months, but it's not like Saskatchewan.  Saskatchewan will always be home like nowhere else.  I guess that's what living there for almost 20 years of your life will do...it's where I grew up.  It's where I met the love of my life.  It's where I got married.  And it's where I'll (hopefully) give birth to our first child.  Manitoba really, really became home more than I ever expected it could be.  But Saskatchewan does hold a special place in my heart. *sniff, sniff* So cheesy, I know.  Deal with it.

Thanks for all your prayers for our upcoming trip.  Please continue to pray.  I've been feeling very well lately and don't anticipate any problems with the drive.  But it is also a long trip and there are many miles between major cities on the route up.  Please remember us in prayer this weekend as we travel.  Thanks!
