Moving day on Wednesday!!! I got the keys from my landlord today and am all good to go now. Well, aside from being finished packing. But that's what tomorrow afternoon and evening are for. Hurrah! It's going to feel SO GOOD to be in there, and finally feel like I have a HOME. The place I'm at right now is fine, but I definitely feel like a renter, ( Read more... )

As much as I am looking forward to my upcoming move this Wednesday [MY VERY OWN PLACE!], I am also dreading it. I still have yet to pack, though I really didn't unpack from the last move so it's more just a matter of taking items from my dresser and putting them in boxes, and packing up some books and dvds. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Right? Right? ( Read more... )

This past week one of my best friends, Trish, finished her one year contract for her job up north. She would work ten days on, four days off, so her time off was always horrendously busy [she admitted she felt like she should always be out doing something, never just sitting at home relaxing] and once I moved to Victoria of course the amount we saw ( Read more... )

Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you’re happyThis is probably one of my top five songs and it always puts a smile on my face. I managed to see U2 two years ago and when the opening notes of this song started up I got the shivers and nearly wept tears of joy. This song holds one of my most beloved lyrics. This is another song that I listened ( Read more... )

Today is indeed a sad day for Canadians. We lost a good man, someone who shared a vision for Canada that included everyone as a human being. Jack Layton worked so hard to get the NDP party to where they are right now and I think the NDP's are on the brink of really showing this country what they can do. The following is a quote from his letter to ( Read more... )

Today was precisely what I needed. Yesterday was filled with friends and two birthday get togethers which were excellent but somewhat exhausting. Today I started out with brunch with Vicky, then continued my hunt for the perfect duvet cover. My treat for the new place is a duvet, as I have had the same comforter for nine years. And I'm hoping that ( Read more... )

No entries for the next two days or so... I'm heading up island and don't plan on taking my laptop with me, and embedding entries from the mobile site on my phone seems a little too much work.

Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hateOk. I'm skipping this one. Or not so much skipping as reversing it. I've already had to post a song I ( Read more... )

I can't believe I have two more days of work to get through still. We had a monstrous day of sales today, but thankfully had three people around for most of the day, so it didn't seem quite so crazy. I have a handful of hours of overtime though so I may just sneak off early one day next week. [We don't get paid for overtime - if only!] Though I ( Read more... )

Whew. Today has been exhausting. This week has been exhausting actually. I worked the entire weekend by myself as we were short staffed, though thankfully it wasn't crazy busy - just enough to help the time pass quick enough. Tomorrow we start our sidewalk sale and so today we received over 85 boxes containing boxes of shoes [so easily over 850 ( Read more... )

Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure

Well geez. You could probably put 25% of my music collection under this heading. Though it depends who I'm telling it to. For some *cough*anastrophe*cough* my pop music collection wouldn't be considered guilty pleasure at all ( Read more... )
