Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2011 was good for you, and that 2012 is even better. In all, 2011 wasn't too bad a year for me. But let's review... Update this blog at least once a week. I did really well with this resolution for a long time. Then I started slipping...a lot. That last couple of months got really bad there. Getting a new job.Well, in a sense I have a new job in the sense that

Wow, I have really been slacking. Mostly because no real progress has been made. My weight has pretty much been holding steady. I took a basic shift management course for work for the past two weekends. I also took a first aid course that I also needed for work. This means that my actual work schedule has been thrown off a bit. It also meant that I was able to go to a show last week on a night

Wow, like wow, wow. I can't believe it's Friday and I haven't updated about last week yet. It was a different week last week. I was taking a food safety course two days. I thought it was supposed to be Monday and Tuesday but it was actually Tuesday and Wednesday. I did quite well...95% on the exam, so I now have a food safety certification. Yay!! I didn't actually make it to the gym last week, at

Wow. I am really getting late. I am just going to say what I actually did rather than go through them all. So I updated the blog. I calibrated the scale so it now looks like I lost a crazy amount of weight. I should have weighed myself before hand because I don't know the actual progress. I only made it to the gym once. I also went to dance practice. That's about it. Wow this post was really

Wow this one is crazy late. But here I am. How did I do? Not really all that good. But here goes. Updating the blog. Super duper late but here I am. 42 down, 10 to go. Wow! New job. Yeah, I still haven't really caught up with my Peter's New Jobs emails. I will try again this week.  Room cleaning. Not much happened in this area this week. Lose weight. I am pretty much where I was last week.

Wow, I am doubtful that these posts will ever be on time again. One can dream, I guess. I really just want to sleep but I am going to do this before I do. Anyway, here's how I did this week. Update this blog. 41 down, 11 to go. Holy crap.. Get a new job. No forward momentum on this front. The task for this week will be to actually read the Peter's New Jobs emails I get everyday rather than just

Wow, the last few months have just flown by. It's already October...crazy!! Anyway, let's see what happened this week, shall we? Update the blog. Here I am again. 40 posts. Wow... New job. So last week was my first week as the only manager on the overnight. It went okay. There was one not so good day, but over all it was good. No news about the job I had the the telephone interview for, so

Another week with little to no progress. I pretty much just need to focus at this point and do something. That being said, here's another account of my complete lack of progress. Update the blog. Late as usual, but here I am. Get the new job. Back on overnights again this week. It's been okay, other than the fact that the other overnight manager quit my first night. Nothing else too notable

Wow, I left this one really late. Not much new happened this week. Oh, season premieres, yay!! Anyway, without further ado, here's how it went...spoiler alert: no real progress was made. Update this blog. Almost didn't happen, but here I am. 38 weeks down, 14 to go. New job. Not much to report, just more manager training. I also went to my first manager meeting. Room cleaning. Ok, this is

This week has been a bit of a change. I have been working day shifts all week, which I haven't actually done in a few years. In fact, Tuesday was the first day in two years that I started work before noon. It was pretty busy all week too. Next week, it's back to overnights again. Yippee!! Let's see how I did this week with the whole resolution thing. Updating this blog. Late again, but here I

Happy Labour Day long weekend everyone!! This week was pretty uneventful, in general, apart from me finding a new obsession. I get more into it after I relate my progress. So how did I do? Let's see... Updating this blog. 36 out of 36. Yay!! Get a new job. Well, I got  a promotion at work. I start training to be a manager on Tuesday. I actually have to work during the day, so that will be a

Wow, I am actually getting to this blog relatively on time this week. The first time in a few months, I think. Let's see...on Friday, Colette and I went to a Roller Derby open house. Being that it was the first time on roller skates in years, it took a while to get used to. Halfway through my first lap at the beginning, my legs were begging me to stop. I managed to keep going though. My

Blah blah late again blah.I really need to get my motivation back. Without further ado, here's how I did last week. Updating the blog. Here I am again, later than ever. 34 post down, 18 to go. Get a new job. This week I talked to my boss about getting a promotion at work. I am still looking at other options though. Room cleaning. Well I don't know if 'cleaning is the correct word for it, but

Well, after the busy, busy week last week, this week has been rather mellow. Partly because I haven't been feeling all that great. I was also dealing with a crazy bad sunburn. It has finished peeling but one part of it is still bright red. Not fun. I had to leave work a bit early on Wednesday night because I just couldn't stand it anymore. I no longer squirm around like a crazy person, so that is

Bella and Mom are on their way back home so I finally decided to update this here blog. I had a really good week with them. They arrived last Wednesday. On Friday, we took the train to Montreal and saw the Biodome and Old Montreal. On Saturday, we visited some cousins. On Sunday, we saw the Lion King at the National Arts Centre. Yesterday, we spent the day at the Calypso Waterpark and I got very

Not a whole is new this week in Wandaland. I am pretty excited that my mom and my niece are coming to visit from Wednesday to Tuesday. We have lots of stuff planned to do while they are here, including taking the train to Montreal for the day and going to see the Lion King at the NAC. Until they get here, I do have a bunch of stuff to do to get ready. So are my resolutions going? Let's see...

So, yeah. Apparently I have given up on titles. Lately, they have all just been lamenting the fact that the blog is late again and were getting a bit redundant. So how did I do this week? Updating this blog. 30 out of 30. Not bad. Get a new job. I applied for one job this week. In other news, I now have more of a definitive end date for my temporary government job. It may end sooner than that

It's getting harder and harder to motivate myself to update this blog. I need to get back to a regular schedule for updating. At least I remembered though. Lets see how I did this week. Updating the blog. 29 out of 29. I am doing well despite the whole forgetting until it's a bit late thing. Get a new job. Well, I applied for a job but not much else happened on that front this week. Room cleaning

Ok, I know, I know. I am late again. Really late this time. But really, who's actually paying attention? I am just happy that I remembered to do it all. So how'd I do this week? Let's see: Updating the blog. 28 for 28. Better late than never I guess. Get a new job. Not much news on that front. I am thinking of calling different placement agencies to see what I need to do to get on their list.

I don't really have a lot to say today so I am just going to go right to it. Updating the blog. 27 for 27. Get a new job. I applied for a job this week. Nothing much. I didn't work as much as I should have, I guess. Room cleaning. Yeah, not much progress there. Lose weight. I am still about 5 pounds down from where I was at the beginning of the year. Going to the gym. I went to the gym twice last

So apparently, Mondays are my updating days now. I am just happy I remembered I did eventually remember to do it. So, how'd I do? Let's see: Updating. Yay! I am half way there! 26 down, 26 to go! Get a new job. I am getting about 20 hours a week at the new job. I am getting paid every week from there but it really doesn't seem like that much. I worked two shifts last week and three the week

So, I am getting later and later with the updating thing. I just have to make a point to do it. Anyway, let's see how I did... Updating the blog. Here I am - 25 for 25. Almost at the halfway mark. Getting a new job. The new job is going okay. Still not getting too many hours. When I am not working on it though, I feel like I should be. I have been working more at my other job, which is good

I guess the new job is kinda messing with my updating schedule. Or I should remember to update before I go into my older job at 10pm. I really don't feel like updating when I get in at 2am. The new job is going okay though. I like that it's something I can mostly do at my own pace. Hopefully I can get more hours with it, than I am currently. Updating this blog. It almost didn't happen this week

So, yes, I am late again. I really have no excuse other than sheer laziness. The good news is I got my new computer on Tuesday so I now have a computer in my room again. It is much more relaxing than upstairs. Anyway, on with how I did this week. Updating this blog. Yup, finally. 23 for 23. Get a new job. So I started training on Monday. I started the actual job on Wednesday. It's not bad but

I am back in Ottawa again. I got home on Tuesday afternoon. It was an interesting flight. I finally figured out that the flights from Ottawa to Toronto and back offer free beer and wine all the time (probably to compete with Porter). When we landed in Ottawa everyone got up and started gathering their items to get off when there was an announcement from the pilot saying that there was no power at

So I've been in Regina since Wednesday. I had a good flight. On the leg from Ottawa to Toronto, the crew was giving out free beer and wine for some reason, so I had a beer (because really, when does that ever happen?). My mom and niece were waiting for me at the airport. Thursday night we had a barbecue with my uncle's family. It was nice seeing everyone. Friday, I went to the candy store to get

My ankle and knees are getting better but I didn't want to tax them too much so I took it easy this week. This coming week, I am only working tonight and tomorrow night, then I am going back home to Saskatchewan for a few days. I am really looking forward to that. But first, how did I do this week? Updating this blog. Well, here I am. 20 for 20. Getting a new job. Well, I did a temporary job

Not a really eventful week. Other than me falling down another set of stairs. This time there were two of them. I did manage to hurt myself this time though. I was walking out of the house to go to work on Thursday night, carrying my work backpack, my gym bag and the recycling to put at the curb when I stumbled and fell down the two steps leading to the driveway. Pretty sure this leaves only two

Not too much of an eventful week this week, but it was a bit more productive than normal for some things (and as unproductive as normal for others). Anyway, I need a nap so I'll get right to it. Updating the blog. Here I am- on time this week too. 18 for 18. Getting a new job. I heard from a job with the government, so that's good. I don't know if I am going to get it - I could choose between two

Happy Easter Everyone! I hope you all had a nice relaxing Easter weekend.  I know I did....apart from the two hours I was trying to get the dessert I was trying to make to cooperate. Grrrr...it was delicious, but grrrrrr. We had some friends over for dinner, sent the kids on an egg treasure hunt, played Wii, ate Turkey and potatoes and various salads, and had my dessert. The dessert I made has

I have to say that my motivation and interest is flagging. I do have a bunch of cleaning to do before next weekend. So, how did I do? Updating. Here I am. 16 for 16. New job. I don't think that other job is going to pan out. I've been checking jobs out online but nothing is really popping out at me.  Room cleaning. Not so much.

Nothing much happened this week with any of my goals. There were a bunch of false starts and almost progress. But actual progress....not so much. So, how did I do? Updating the blog. Here we are - 15 for 15. New job. I haven't heard anything about the job I was hoping for yet. So that's disappointing. I did apply for a job this week.  Room cleaning. Not so much. Losing weight. Holding steady.

Not a bad week. Last night though, I thought I would relax on the couch with a glass of wine and watch my 'Greek' DVDs. The wine was quite good - It was very fruity. It didn't even taste like wine - which explains why by the time the last episode of the disc came on, the bottle was empty. It was sad...but tasty. I also had to deal with Colette mocking me mercilessly when she came home. So,

This week was so much better than last week. I guess it really couldn't get much worse (without something terrible happening). The only thing that sucked was that I still didn't have access to my online accounts since I was waiting for my cards to come in the mail. But really, that is nothing compared to last week. My cards came on Friday so I was happy. How did I do this week? Lets see....

What a week. Actually, it wasn't so much the week as the day. Specifically, the two hours between 7 and 9am on Tuesday. It would have been hard to have a worse two hours without severe bodily harm or death involved.  Luckily, it didn't come to that. So what happened? Well, I worked till 6am, as usual. I went to the gym, as somewhat usual. On the way to the gym, I was listening to the radio, They

I had a busy week involving less sleeping than I would have liked. Mostly, my fault - I really need to schedule appointments better - but it was annoying. As I mentioned last week, I had an interview on Wednesday. The interview was scheduled for 4:30 but I had to be there 20 minutes early. They said that the process would be about 30 minutes but in reality it took an hour and a half because they

Have to say, after last weekend, this weekend was rather anticlimactic. No show, no workshop. It is, however, possible that Colette mentioned playing a certain Wii game and liking it. It is also possible that I went and bought it. And we may have ended up playing it for three hours this afternoon. Not saying it happened, but it is entirely possible. (I actually don't know that it was three hours,

As expected, didn't get much done this week, particularly since most weeks I tend to wait for the weekend to do anything and this weekend wasn't available. The show on Friday night was quite good, and the workshop this weekend was quite informative. Anyway, on with the show... Updating. Still here - 9 out of 9. New job. I haven't heard back from the French exam (with my undoubtedly poor marks)

Okay, this may be the least enthusiastic I've been about doing a post. Mostly because I had an entire post written, nearly ready to publish, and then I went to edit it and POOF! It completely disappeared. So this is take two. So without further preamble, here's what happened this week. Update every week. It may be late, but here it is . 8 for 8. Get a new job. Sigh.

This has been a productive week for me on a couple of different counts. There is still stuff I have to work on but That will come with time. Anyway, here we go..... Update once a week. Well, here I am.... 7 for 7. Get a new job. Earlier this week, I got a call from a recruiter for a company that found my resume on Monster.com. She asked me a bunch of questions that I realize now I should have

I think I am liking updating on Sundays rather than Saturdays. It gives me more time to accomplish things on the weekend than updating on Saturdays did. So how did I fare this week? Let's see.... Update once a week. Here I am updating...so that's 6 for 6. I actually almost forgot this week, so I am extra proud that I managed to get to it. Get a new job. It was a slow week for job stuff.

I am a bit late this weekend. I wanted to get at least one of my goals done before I wrote my post this weekend, and I couldn't do it yesterday because I slept pretty much all day yesterday. I got it done today so we're good to go. So on to the resolutions... Update once a week. Technically it's been 8 days since my last post but I figure as long as I post every weekend, it still counts. So,

Wow, I think updating once a week is working out much better than everyday. So far at least. The hardest part is thinking of a title...which I suck at. Pretty much a work and sleep sort of week again. I did go to the mall yesterday for a bit. I bought myself a scarf and a wallet, which I am happy with. I saw a similar wallet at the Bay last week but it was $70 and I didn't really want to pay that

So, I was actually back at work this week, all five days in fact. My pay cheque wasn't as bad as I thought it would be based on the fact that I only worked one day in that pay period. Luckily, there was a statutory holiday in there. Not a whole lot else happened; as usual, the week pretty much consisted of working and sleeping. But here's how my resolutions went this week: Update blog every week

This week was rather odd. I went to work on Sunday for the first time in a week and a half (because of Christmas) and haven't been back. I've been fighting a chest cold and felt it best to not infect my coworkers more that I had to. In all honesty, I was feeling better by Wednesday but the store was overstaffed so they asked if I minded not coming in. Extra vacation? Sounds good to me. I am, in

Wow, it's been quite awhile since I've even attempted to write anything in this blog. Let's see if this time around goes any better.Being that it's January 1st, New Year's Resolutions are going to be my focus. In this post, I will discuss what resolutions I've made. In subsequent posts, I hope to discuss any progress I've made with them. I won't have the resolution updates more than once a week,

So it's been a year since I started this blog. I did pretty well.....for about 8 months. Then not so much. I am now 27 and still in relatively the same place. What has happened since my last update? Not a whole lot - but lets make a list, shall we?I started going out for breakfast with people I work with. We tend to go the Friday after payday, so about every two weeks. It's been interesting. I

Apparently, this whole blogging thing just isn't happening anymore. I had the best intentions to catch up on the backlog of posts and actually blog everyday but ....no. I think it would have been more likely to happen if I wasn't working overnights and therefore didn't sleep my days away. This post is going to go over something more interesting things that I have happened in the last couple of

Today when I got home from work I was going to watch the season premiere of "Dollhouse". I sat down in front of the TV, pressed "play" and all I got was a bunch of black. I forgot to set the timer on the cable box so it didn't turn on and while the dvr recorded, all that happened was well nothing. So I decided to go downstairs to see if I could watch it online. Couldn't find it. Eventually I

So this week seems to be the week where most of fall TV returns. Yesterday was "Bones", tonight was "The Office", tomorrow is "Dollhouse". I have to wait until Monday for three of my shows but this was a pretty good start. I have enjoyed the new episodes so far. We'll see if they keep up at this rate. The return of regularly schedule programming has dulled my pain at the loss of "True Blood" for

Hi there folks. It's been a while. There really is no excuse for me not updating for like five weeks but I am working on catching up, hopefully I will be fully caught up in the next couple weeks. I may update seemingly randomly but that is because I have notes for some days and not others and it's been five freaking weeks. From here on out I am hoping to update daily, not only the post for the

Last night, in what I am presuming was a fit of insanity, I agreed to work from 8am -4pm even though I had worked until 4:30 am when I was there to clean Monday night. I was worried I wouldn't wake up on time but luckily I woke up and was there earlier than I had been anywhere in months. It was interesting doing an 8 to 4 shift because it's very busy with both the breakfast and lunch rushes. I

Today, I had lunch once again with my flamenco teacher from Saskatchewan but this time she brought her husband along. After an enjoyable lunch (amazingly enough, at the same place we ate at last time) we went to this gallery where they were displaying artwork done by animals. They had paintings done by chimps, elephants, turtles, dogs and probably a few more different types of animals. I

Tonight, I was called in to work to help clean. I got in at about 9 and got straight to work. I ended up in the stock room with the moveable shelves. After rearranging it and attempting to make everything fit, I started to mop. Just the mopping would have been easy, unfortunately, over time stuff tends to build up in the tracks that the shelves move and it fell to me to clean them out. Not the

Today I found this music video tie in to the web series "The Guild" that I wrote about a few months ago. Here it is:I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's an amusing song and the video really entertains me. It was directed by Zach Whedon of "Dr. Horrible" fame. SO today's favorite things is the song and video of "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?".

Tonight was, I believe, the first time I had ever worked an entire overnight shift on a Sunday night with the regular overnight manager. It was a nice change from the typical Friday/ Saturday overnight that I normally work. It was a lot slower that I am used to but it allowed me to actually get work done. Everybody I was working with really seemed to know what they were doing and what they needed

I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I go to church regularly. I feel awful and almost sacriligeous but it's always nice when mass gets out early. Growing up, mass was always an hour long service maybe a bit longer - it seemed like forever. We got a priest at my church back home that didn't believe that mass should be longer than 50 minutes. That was pretty cool. The masses here

Two years ago, when I was going to school in Boston, one of the clinical supervisors held a knitting class every Wednesday night which I quite enjoyed. I had tried knitting when I was younger but I never really got the hang of it then. The knitting class really helped me relearn and I even learned how to pearl. Anyway, knitting also got me back interested in crocheting which I have done probably

Last March, I started watching "Dollhouse". While it wasn't my absolute favourite show, I found it quite interesting. When I heard that one episode would only be on the DVD, I was kinda disappointed because I didn't like the show THAT much. When I heard it was on iTunes, I was quite happy and decided to get it. I really enjoyed the episode. It was set in the future and had an apocalyptic air to

Today, I had an appointment with the otolaryngologist or for people who use normal language - the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. Back in January, I had an ultrasound done on my thyroid and this was a follow up appointment. While I was waiting for the appointment in the examination room, I was looking at all the posters of the ears on the wall which completely reminded me of my time at school

So tonight was the actual season finale of "Better off Ted". I have mentioned previously that I love the fake commercials that air during each episode but other than that, it's just a really funny show. It's like "The Office" in a way, but while "The Office" seems to believe that deep down every one is a good person, "Better Off Ted" almost comes from the opposite point of view. Many of the

A few days ago, I mentioned the website "Give Me My Remote" and how it had a tendency to hook me on new shows. It struck again. Kath (the girl who runs the site, I guess) was having "Greek week" in honour of the TV show "Greek". One day, she had a post with a bunch of quotes from the show and a video. Here is the video:After watching the video, I have to admit I was intrigued. So I watched one

Today, Colette and I finally went to see the movie "UP". I really enjoyed it. We had originally planned to see it with my niece when she came to visit but events transpired in such a way that it didn't actually work out that way. I loved the opening montage between the old man and his wife. I think that is the only time I have ever cried during a kid's animated movie (that I recall anyway - there

Apparently part of the deal that comes with me living with my sister is doing the yard work. Today I used the motorized hedge trimmer on some of the bushes in my sister's yard. She says that I am better at it than she is, I think its just a ploy to get me to do it all. It is rather fun once you get going and being able to see the difference between what you've done and what it was like before is

I am a bit behind the times when it comes to buying music. Most of the music I have on my MP3 player came from CD's that I have. I don't really buy it online. Until today. I finally went on iTunes to find music. Mostly because it was from some cool routines from "So You Think You Can Dance" and didn't know where else to find it. I have decided that I actually like iTunes and may be more inclined

Tonight was the season finale of "So You Think You Can Dance". To honour the occasion, I thought I would post my favourite dances from this past season (mostly because this is the only season I actually watched). So today's favourite things are the following dances from SYTYCD Season 5:Kayla and Kupono - Addiction: She is an addict, he is the addiction. Choreographed by Mia Michaels.Brandon and

Way back, when I first got into "The Office", I started visiting a website called "Give Me My Remote". I really enjoy it. It has got me into a bunch of shows that I may have never watched without it. The recaps amuse me and the writer has access to a lot of background info that really interests me. One of the things that she does is a podcast with another TV blogger from "Ducky Does TV". I had

Today, my mom and my niece went home. It was nice having them visit but in some ways I was nice to have the house back to myself (oh, with Colette too of course). We dropped Bella and mom off at the airport quite early this morning. On the way home from the airport, I received a phone call from Bella saying that she missed me already. It was very sweet. I miss her already too. So today's

Today, we went downtown. Because it was a holiday, we didn't have to pay for parking so that was nice. The Busker festival was going on so we got to see some street performers. I nearly got a Henna Tattoo but didn't feel like waiting in line. We ended up walking over by the parliament buildings. We didnt' go on a tour because they were mostly sold out for the day but we got to see some of the

Today, at work, I really managed to hurt my hand. I made a bit of a fuss about it when I got home and managed to wake up 2/3 of the house. My mom sat with me while I iced my hand and we had a good talk. It was nice to chat with her one on one while she was here rather than over the phone. So today's favourite thing is talking with my mom.

My niece wanted to have a sleep over in my room before she leaves so we decided to have one tonight. It was quite interesting even though we never got to the sleep part before she decided to go upstairs to sleep with Grandma. I learned that her mommy supposedly has a crush on the guy that sold them their dog (and the Jonas Brothers!). I also learned who Bella has a crush on (Bella calls them her

When we found out when my mom and Bella were coming to visit, Colette got me to book tickets for the Hull-Chelsea-Wakefield Steamtrain. We figured Bella would enjoy a ride on the train so it would be something interesting to do. We were right. Bella bought herself a pink conductors hat and a model Steamtrain engine that she just couldn't get enough of. She was particularly fascinated with how the

Yesterday, my mom and my niece came from Saskatchewan to visit Colette and I. It is really good to see them. They came to drive me to work today because I told Bella she could see where I work. She played at the playplace and seemed to enjoy herself. My coworkers seemed to get a kick out of meeting her. At one point when she was in the room with the play stuff in it, the Macarena started playing

Today my new Crocs arrived!I had to order them online because they didn't have any lime green ones in the store. I don't really see the point in getting a pair of traditional Crocs in a regular colour- they aren't exactly pretty shoes. I have been looking for new crocs for a few months - my old lime green crocs started to lose any grip they may have started with and the soles started getting

My mom and my niece are coming for a visit tomorrow so it is high time for me to be cleaning my room, which I have been doing off and on for a few hours. As I was cleaning, I found the wallet I used when I was living in Boston. When I opened it up, it had a bunch of American money that I didn't realize I had. It made my day because I am actually quite broke right now so it will come in handy.

In June, my work did a bunch of renovations. After renovations ended, a rather large TV showed up in the breakroom....with satellite. I don't watch the TV often but for the last few days, it has been perpetually tuned to the Discovery Channel. I really enjoy the Discovery channel because it has so many interesting programs. I have watched a lot of MythBusters in the last couples and have really

A couple months ago, my work got four new salads - a new Caesar, a new Garden salad, a Mediterranean, and a Thai. I was planning to try all of them but I actually started off by trying the Thai. I loved it and haven't made it to any of the others. I really enjoy the dressing for it as well as the glaze for the chicken. I don't get it all the time when I work (sometimes we're sold out) but if I

Today, when I woke up, I found that my sister had left me some fresh garden peas to eat. I love peas when they are just out of the garden. They taste so good. I remember being at my grandparents' farm when I was younger and being asked to shell the peas----I think I ate more peas than actually made it into the bowl to use for dinner. The peas we had today were rather small but they still tasted

Today, I went to a BodyPump class at noon at the gym that's most convenient for me to get to. They had just added this class when this current schedule for group exercise classes came into effect so I didn't really have the option before. Previously, the most convenient gym to me didn't have any BodyPump classes on Fridays so that was rather annoying. I would have to go to various other gyms if I

Today, I finally paid my sister rent for July. I used an email money transfer. I had used one before but only to receive money. I like that I can just send it to her and it will be out of my account right away and she can receive it right away. What I don't like is that the bank I normally bank with doesn't do email money transfers so I have to transfer from one account to another before I can

I mentioned in an early post that I have been watching "So You Think You Can Dance" this season. I have been really enjoying it. Tonight, Kayla and Jason did a zombie-esque dance choreographed by Shane Sparks that I just loved. It's rather dark but very well done. You don't have to watch the entire video to see the dance, the last part is mostly the judges comments.Anyway, today's favourite thing

My sister has a whole bunch of cloth bags she uses when she goes grocery shopping so she doesn't have to get plastic bags. Miraculously, she even remembers to bring them when she goes - something I never seem to remember to do. Even if I know that I am go to the mall and plan to buy something, I never remember to bring one of the cloth bags with me or the bag is so bulky that I feel awkward

Today, nothing really special happened. I had a weird dream involving a bunch of people wanting to shoot each other and me freaking out. At the end, everyone made up at the end and decided to go to "the Mon-tan". Apparently, they didn't know how to pronounce "Montana". It was an odd, odd dream. I went to work as well but nothing particularly out of the ordinary happened. When I got home though,

Today, I saw the latest Harry Potter movie. I enjoyed it but once again they made some odd and unnecessary changes. It wasn't an ideal movie going for two additional reasons: A) A couple sat down in front of us that could really have used an introduction to either a shower or deodorant. I felt awkward getting up at the point to move although it was tempting; and B) I really had to pee through the

Tonight for supper (also known as my breakfast), we had bacon and tomato sandwiches. Every time I have them, I remember how much I like them but I never seem to think of them or make them for myself. They are so easy to make or so I hear (Colette made them yesterday). I mean I've made them before but not recently.

When we clean dishes at work, we have a sprayer that pulls down to spray the dishes off. For the past few weeks, it has been leaking; so when you pull the sprayer down to spray off the dish, you are actually dripped on from the top as well with, usually, scalding hot water. When I got into work tonight, I found that the sprayer had been fixed which made doing dishes not quite the ordeal it had

For the past four days, I have been participating in a workshop series that's supposed to help me figure out what I want to do with my life. It mostly consisted of working on a book that examines different parts of your life to determine what you like to do, how you want your life to go and what skills you have demonstrated. I also took a personality test to help me determine which careers I am

Tonight, I had a doctor's appointment. I left in plenty of time and got to the general area in lots of time but they were doing construction in that area and there were no parking spots anywhere. Well, there were spots but pretty much every potential parking spot had a no parking sign next to it. It was really annoying. I ended up being late to the appointment because of the parking issue. I

Today in my bellydance class, we learned a move that I had seen before, thought was cool but wasn't quite sure how to do it. I thought I was getting better at it but it isn't quite up to par yet. I tried showing it to my sister and it didn't go well. I tried it again and faired better the second time. I likened the first attempt to a spasming jellyfish which my sister said she would have said the

As I mentioned in Saturday's post, I went to the library for the first time in a couple months that day. Part of the reason was that I couldn't find one of my books and partly because I new I had a big overdue fine ($12) that I wasn't quite ready to pay. I paid it while I was there with my credit and signed the receipt without really looking at it. Whoops. Today I got a phone call from the

Usually when I write my blog posts, I tend to write them before I got to sleep for the night. Very rarely, I start them before midnight so I have to change the date and time so that they show up for the day that the events I am writing about transpired. That's why if you look at the time stamp, very often it says 11:59 pm. This weekend I was really bad about updating the blog because after

A couple months ago, I went to the library and got a bunch of books out. I started reading one but when I finished I didn't put it back with the others. I returned the others and didn't remember where I put that one book. I got more out and read those but didn't end up getting back to the library, partly because I didn't have a big need to go and partly because of that one book that I thought I

Tonight, I went to a bellydance workshop put on by my teacher. It was on American Tribal Stylie which is the type I started with back in Regina. It is mostly improvisation with a certain set of moves that the leader cues by specific arm positions or verbal cues. I love it because it really connects you with the other people you are dancing with. It was good to return to that style of dance

I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have a bump on my wrist. It's rather odd but I finally had an xray done for it. I only recently realized that I also need an ultrasound done for it as well. The place I went to for my xray was booking now for ultrasounds in February. That seemed like a rather long wait so I called other places to see if I could get in sooner. Three phone calls later, I

Today was a pretty typical day. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. I woke up, showered, ate, played the Sims, went to the gym, and watched "So you think you can dance". Some days it's nice to have a day that nothing out of the ordinary happens. It helps calm and ground you. So today's favourite thing is days where things go smoothly and nothing unexpected happens.

Some days, this blog is harder to write than others. There are days when nothing spectacular happens and I really have to think hard about my day because otherwise that day won't have a post at all. In some ways, that's good because it really gives me a reason to reflect on my day. Other days, it's hard to write because there are a number of things that could potentially be a "favourite thing".

I did something not at all smart before leaving for work today. I started listening to the musical commentary on the Dr. Horrible DVD and ended up with two songs from it in my head. They lasted the entire night at work. When I got to work, one of my coworkers talked to my about the Sookie Stackhouse books I told her about and how her sister is getting them. Later on, I mentioned to different

Today, we came home from Quebec City. It was a good trip and it was interesting seeing all of the things I remembered from the last time I was there in 2002. That time, I was with a group of people I lived with in Katimavik. We spend the last weekend of our time together in and around Quebec City. We were actually living in Cornwall, Ontario at the time so it was quite a big trip for us. On the

Today, we walked to Old Quebec again and pretty much split up as soon as we got there. I went to the Musée de l`Amérique Francaise. I got there at 11:30 ish and went to find out when the next tour was. It turned out to be at 1:15 and because I was the first person to sign up for that tour, the tour was in English. I went to the actual museum for a while to look at the exhibits until it was time

We arrived in Quebec City early this afternoon and checked into our hotel after some confusion regarding its location. We then went on a little jaunt to Old Quebec. It's quite interesting. The streets are quite narrow and the buildings are quite old. I was quite excited when I began recognizing places from when I was there seven years ago. We looked in some shops, had a bit of a snack and walked
