TRAVEL


<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy -->

What wonderful day! Home show, a walk with Theresa, seeing my breath condense in the air as I breathed out (did everyone pretend that they were smoking when they were a kid?), dinner and fantastic VQA wine, great conversation, lovely house, a nice email from David... off to bed a little tipsy.

Tree and I are at the National Home Show. We just got our photos taken at the HP Pavilion on a HARLEY! I, of course, was her bitch!

I cannot stop listening to "My Immortal" by Evanescence. Is that cheesey?

But now I'm home alone and just realized that I can sing "Come What May" at the top of my lungs.

Life is good.

Well, all in all, it's been a good day.

Meteorological Status: The sun is shining; it's about 13 degrees.

Gastronomical Status: I had a lovely lunch with my friend Scott. Although I can still taste the garlic from last night's Greek dinner with Alex.

Employment Status: Finishing my bank temp job today. Picked up a contract writing job for the weekend!

Financial Status: Picking up my cheque after work tonight. Whew!

Habitation Satus: Going to house/cat-sit in Aurora this weekend.

Social Status: Plans just fell through. Anyone wanna do anything? Call me! OK, good... now I'm going to the movies.

I told it to dance.
And then I died.

Bonny, the maintenance guy here (I think) just told me I bare a resemblance to Céline Dion.

Let's compare, shall we?

Here's me at my welcome-home party:


And here's Celine (at MuchMusic, not my welcome-home party):


Perhaps if I pastied up my face, slapped on more makeup, lost a few hundred pounds.... No, I STILL would not look anything like her.

I am a real admin assistant: I just filed my nails at my desk. Next thing you know, I'll be applying lipstick with a mini-mirror.

Thinking of taking a Marketing course this month and going after my OMDP Business Management Certificate. I already have my Leadership certification and I thought it was quite useful. Though perhaps a bit too easy. Any suggestions on a better course/program to take?

If you arrive at Union Station at the right time, it's like you've arrived in New York at rush hour. Wall-to-wall bodies move en masse down the hall to BCE Place. Dressed in suits, most of us, some trying to weave through the crowd, in a hurry to some early-morning meeting. I'm going to let them in on a secret: you're not going anywhere.

In the words of Jack Johnson "Slow down everyone you're moving too fast. Frames can't catch you when you're moving like that."

Ya, I don't think I got up to go for lunch today. I probably should at least go for a walk, even though I bring my lunch and eat it at my desk.

My mom is picking me up from "work" today. She's bringing me a bunch of things that I forgot at home. Like a warm coat. I always feel a bit like a child when I need my mommy to come bring me things.

Last night, I helped Tree make lasagne for our DINE (Divas In New Eateries) meeting tonight (who are we kidding? it's just a dinner party).

Then Alex came over and took me out for a hot apple cider at the Second Cup. Sigh. I've missed the Second Cup. Although I probably should have tried one of the new maple concoctions instead of the cider. I mean, it's not even mulled anymore!

But it was nice to talk to Alex, even though I was pretty tired.

I've been having some trouble sleeping. Clearly, I need to drink more.

And then Jan emails me that he's taking off on a 4-day sailing trip in the Whitsundays aboard the Pegasus. I'm so jealous! Of course, I must look on the bright side... I mean, ya, I'm back in Toronto and he's there sailing in the islands, snorkelling and diving. BUT, he has no money and I... um, have no money. Crap.

Another day, another $100 for doing very little aside from answering a few phone calls and surfing the Web. Sometimes temp jobs are good...

Unfortunately, the lady that I'm covering for showed up in the office this morning, wondering what I was doing there. I guess she's done grieving. Or not, cause she went back home again. So she may or may not be back next week. If I were her, I'd just let me fill in for her for another week.

All in all, it would be a good day except that it's raining and the rain is COLD. And it's been raining since last night, when I walked all the way from work (at Union Station) to Sarah's house (in Little Italy).

Sarah's so good. She made a yummy dinner - I helped - and we had nice red wine and watched a really funny British show that she had on DVD ("Coupling"). We talked about life and work and friends and the past year. And she didn't even tell me to shut up!

She has even prettier hair than I remember and looks really fit after running her big race. I'm feeling quite unfit and really need to do something active! I'm trying to get a bunch of people together to do the Ride n Stride with me later this month. Getting out in the non-rainy fresh air should be good for me. Sadly, I've hurt my hamstring and I probably can't run or do yoga until it's healed, but maybe I'll be OK to roller blade.

Well, I'm happy to report that my grandmother is feeling better. My family and I spent the weekend visiting her in the hospital.

I'm not sure how, but the Easter Bunny managed to find us all the way at her house! And I think the Easter Bunny doesn't like Matt, because he's the only one who didn't get a Kinder Surprise. It's probably because the Easter Bunny is a Sens fan (Ottawa lost on Saturday night, I hear).

Now I'm enjoying my first day at my new temping job at the bank. It's weird to be wearing nice clothes again instead of a bikini/sarong or jeans. I can't even wear any cleavage-bearing tops! Goodness, what WILL I do?!
