The craziness that is my life continues!
As some of you may know already, I'm an auntie!
That is baby Lilly my wonderful new niece. I had the pleasure of watching her wriggle her way out of my sister until 3:30 am on Thursday. It was super intense. I had about an hour of sleep the night before, and sat in the delivery room for 20 hours with no entertainment (dumb dumb poor planning). Around 2:30 I called my grandpa to come pick me up because I needed to drive back to Guelph for work the next day. I'm all ready to go out and meet him in front of the hospital for 3:15, and all of a sudden the baby is arriving! She wouldn't let me go home without meeting her first.
When my sister asked me to be in the delivery room I said yes, but joked a lot about Alien and my need for a plasma gun, and expected that watching a live childbirth would scar me for life but it actually turned out to be the most magical wonderful thing I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly in no hurry (nor have any desire) to have children. I still remember all the rest of the reasons.
Anyway, before all that fun was probably the best roller derby practice yet. I even got my first bruise! I'd post a picture, but its like the size of a nickel and starting to fade.
We did a lot of hitting, but the best part?

yeah.... that's right.
anyway...blog out.
I'll leave you with this.
So cruel a world where i've tried my whole life to grow a moustache like that, and it took a day after being born for my niece to grow one.
