Gather Ye Rosebuds

Had an interesting weekend...spent three days in a row seeing my Glitter! Was at graduation yesterday, and at her party today. and of course, as I mentioned earlier, celebratory sushi dinner Friday evening. We also ran errands this weekend...I picked up a new umbrella and pen at Office Depot, and a new pillow at K-Mart. It doesn't sound like much. I think it is going to work. I have such a hard time finding good pillows. I may decide to get the tempurpedic one at some point, if this one doesn't seem to work out. But I think it will be ok...gonna have to sleep on it to find out.

Fucking hilarious scene on Family Guy where Chris goes to get some milk at the grocery store, and he gets pulled into the A-HA video for "Take On Me" for a short bit. It was great!! And now they're referencing The Neverending Story. :)

My legs hurt so bad. Well, my calves really. I have been gimping off and on all day. I think it was from wearing my heels all day on Friday since we had graduation and a tour with the VP of Broadband. Might have been made worse by walking all over Waterford Lakes to get to the Old Navy yesterday. Anyhow, I know the broken skin on my heels are from the straps of the heels. I never really intended to wear them for too long, because of my foot problem, yet I wore them all day Friday. Stupid stupid me. But I do need to find some more nice dressy shoes for work.

I also got my bus pass for nest week. I admit to being a but nervous. I have pretty much always been able to get a ride or take my own car somewhere. Guess this will be practice for moving to Vancouver. I have also been thinking about martial arts classes of some kind, for self defense or something. It is odd, because I have been thinking about it since Friday afternoon, and tonight I see teajade talking about one form in her bio. I read it before, but did not make the connection to it then (I think the user pics in the gallery gave some clues too), and tonight, well, I think tonight was like a sign, saying I shojuld take a class of something! Maybe just yoga for starters, or pilates, or mayne something more hard core. I also read a post nymphie about her kung fu encounter with an impressive young person. I should research my options more.

Well, guess I should go to bed soon.

I ran into an old friend of mine from high school tonight. Seems to be happening a lot lately. Anyhow, we were having graduation dinner (*) with Glitter and husband-to-be at Fuji, when all of a sudden, there she is. [Ok, so our table was at the front and so we saw everyone who came in!] Anyhow, she used to be my neighbor growing up, and she is the one who invited me into colorguard, which is something that defined my high school experience. She also knew Glitter; they were in the same graduating class. We chatted quite a bit while they were waiting for a table, and we had a good time. We had lots to talk about (it has been over 10 years since I last saw her). Hopefully we will be able to get together again soon. We exchanged contact info, and left feeling very positive about the whole meeting.

(*) I had my final day of classroom training, thus graduating after passing the final and Glitter graduates tomorrow. Her graduation is a bit bigger than mine! :P

Holly is a powerful protective wood that good for use against evil, but it also represents dreams and fertility. Your unicorn's tail hair core means that you are pure of heart and care deeply for your loved ones.

This is different than the one I got on the official site, but that was totally random. Plus I forgot what that was. :P

Today was pretty good. It started out very slow, because I was so sleepy, but after lunch things picked up. Then there was the baby shower cake. So. Yeah. We got so off track and just bullshitted a bit toward the end of the day. We also shadowed for the first time. The guy I sat with was really nice and cool. It is weird shadowing, as I used to be the one that had people shadowing with me. I hope that I will be able to handle it all once it is time for me to go on the floor. I have a week more training, though next Wednesday is my ride along with a PC tech, and after that I have a transition period with mentors.

Well, that is it for now.

Can't keep my eyes open much longer....

I think I ate too many circus peanuts. I feel blah. I think I should go to bed now.

I hate ironing.

I need a personal maid. :)

nini,

My parents are taking us out to Polonia for dinner in a few hours. Yay borscht!!! :)

Oh god I'm craving Cuban food right now. Black beans, Spanish rice, chourizo, and plantains to name a few things. Oh, and Materva (mate beer). Maybe this weekend?

Not a terribly exciting day. Like I said earlier, I spent much of the morning filling out paperwork and stuff for the new job. Loads of fun, eh? We spent a little time with learning about the company and the beginning of cable and such. So far, so good. Only bad thing so far is that there is not going to be a tech ride...something to do with the storm season. Boo. :(

Anyhow, my back seems to be bothering me a bit and I am also very tired now. Will be asleep before I hit the mattress...
