<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Friday, March 04, 2005 :: Today is a very special day. I'm posting from my parents' computer! They are finally online. Please send them every bit of spam and adware so that they know what a bad decision it was to get online (my dad actually believes that this will happen if people know his address). :: Cathy 7:05 PM [+] :: 0 comments Yesterday, before an appointment, I stopped off at a Second Cup for a chai latte. When I went to pay, I discovered that my wallet wasn't in my purse. I panicked. "Oh my gosh, where's my wallet?" I told the woman behind me in line to go ahead as I searched frantically for it. And came up empty-handed. She paid for my latte. And offered me money if I needed it. And a ride home or to work or wherever I might have lost my wallet. I thanked her, but I had tokens in my pocket (BTW: price goes up on Monday so stock up!) so I told her I was OK. But I thought it was the nicest thing that anyone in Toronto had ever done for me. It renewed my faith that there can be good people in the city. I went home and discovered that I'd left my wallet beside my computer the night before when I was paying my bills online. Duh. Thank you to the nice lady at the Mount Pleasant Second Cup. :: Cathy 6:58 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 :: I can't describe how much I like the quiet. I can feel every bone in my body unwind and melt. I can hear the wind whistle around the building. I can hear myself chewing as I enjoy my lamb stew. I can hear the hum of the computer. On my way home, I took refuge in the music on my MP3 player as the traffic honked and roared and several sirens went off around me. Otherwise, it would have been a pretty beautiful night (aside from the blistering wind). I wonder if perhaps I am sick of this location. So many cars all the time. So many people. I want the sound of snow crunching beneath my feet. Of trees creaking. Not the sort of sounds you get on the edge of the Don Valley Parkway. :: Cathy 6:05 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 :: I have finally pulled the trigger on the tickets to Amsterdam! My mom and I are going to the Netherlands from May 27th to June 11th and we're only paying $670 each! Pretty good deal! I had checked the prices only a week ago and the price went up a whole $2! I figured it was time to go for it. Yay AirTransat! Yay WebShoppingGoddessCathy! :: Cathy 7:13 PM [+] :: 0 comments Oh my gosh, I make a mean Lamb Stew! It's snowing outside; slushy and gross. What do you want? Comfort food! So what do I whip up? Lamb and barley stew with apricots and raisins. HEAVEN! It's the first time I've made this stew in, like, 2 years. My memory didn't do it justice! Of course, it helps that I'm in love with lamb. In other news, I am actually home in time to cook myself a regular meal. This is very exciting news. And I had a very good lunch with the prez of the company and it looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You know, it's great when aspects of your job excite you. But it doesn't matter how promising it seems - if you're spending most of your life there, you feel like you're ruining your life. I'm a much happier, productive person when I have some perspective on work. And that's what I get when I go home at a normal time and do things for ME. Like cook yummy stews. :: Cathy 5:32 PM [+] :: 2 comments
