Bubbles?!
Yesterday I had to come home via the good old TTC.  The Subway was disgusting because the car I was in had no airconditioning and I was wearing a black blazer which I couldn't take off due to the deoderant I got on the bottom of it in the morning.  As usual I was a goner by the time we hit Castle Frank station.  Things got a little more exciting on the bus ride home though.  Long story short I saw a little girl who could have EASILY pass off as Bubble's daughter!!  She had the same glasses, but her's were sparkly pink :D  It was great, I couldn't stop staring at her, she was like 9 and was wearing all pink, but man...she would've made a great addition to the show b/c she belonged in a Trailer Park annnd she was super cute.  To top it all off I had my favorite bus driver, she's so nice and always talks to me...the best part of it all is that she looks like Blondie, who I love :)  I'm not alone on this either, ask Gina and she'll vouch for me.
 
I took Oliver to meet Rocky, our neighbor.  We were in the backyard and Rocky chased him and he almost fell into the pool, luckily he stopped just in time.  My heart was in my throat!  On a lighter note, Aiya's back from Algonquin!!  Which isn't really earth shattering because I most likely won't see him until Saturday anyways :P
