1) I have really come to appreciate a good sleep in. Waking up at 6 everyday will do this to anyone, probably.
2) I have time to chill and do whatever I want - which mostly means playing solitaire/snood and watching Office reruns
3) I can base an entire night around watching a movie, smoking a fatty, and eating snacks
4) I have so much time to cook whatever I want. Today: Potato Leek Soup (best) and a greek breaded chicken, and later, homemade pizza. Maybe banana chocolate chip muffins. I dunno. We'll see.

I'm listening to Jessica's lovely radio show, which you can listen to every Thursday at 10 EST!
It's based on Jillian's holiday calendar, and so far I have remembered to listen to it twice but it's very amusing and amateur and they play great music.
Today was very productive! I went for a run on my lunch break (treadmills downstairs, so hot right now) dropped by BP for schedule/paperwork after and basically got Cory a job, went to Superstore and got a pair of sweats, a tshirt, three pairs of underwear AND a sports bra for 40 bucks! And picked up some leeks to make some potato leek chowder this weekend. It's my soup next week :)
Tomorrow is my first special at work, I'm doing fajitas/soft tacos, and it's Friday. This was the fastest week in the universe.
Oh, and I sold 5 cups of soup today so... took home 2 litres.

her name was lola
Our first dance class last night went very well. We learned a basic step and two twirls. It sounds lame but looks awesome. Wayne and Emily decided to join with us which is great, and has great potential to make Tuesdays the best evening of the week.
I have to make lentil soup tomorrow for lunch, but it's phad thai day here at the CM Bistro and apparently we will be slammed with people coming for it. It's famous around here. On my first day I literally heard about it 6 times, from different sources. It's going to be a crazy day.
On a side note I feel very proud of myself because I sent out mail for all of you! Being of course, Lauren and Kate, Jess, my Nanny, and Brandon. And some forms for the Culinary. That's a lot of mail for one weekend

high and dry
There is many exciting things happening!
-First, my job is sweet. This was the best first week at a job I've had. I know I'm going to love it and I don't ever want to leave! But I have to, because
-I am officially registered for the culinary!
-Also Cory and I are starting Swing and Jive lessons on Tuesday.
In other news, the new episode of the Office sucked. I am way disappointed.

first day
Today was my first day at Critical Mass.
It was very long, and very boring. I had to be trained with two other people who are actually techies, and I had to go through all of the computer training with them. Besides that, it was good. Everyone seems really friendly and outgoing, and all of the bistro staff are cool so far. It's very casual and creative, so I think I'll like it a lot.
I'm also working the 7-4 shift, so a) I need to adjust to waking up super early, and b) take the train for 20 minutes each way during the busiest hours. Poopy.
Also, I am addicted to snood. Again.

phhheww,
well, I haven't been posting because I have so much to post about, and therefore I don't want to post any of it because I am way too busy.
In short:
My trip home was so, so awesome.
Even though Holland College lost my application, I am once again 99% sure I will be attending the Culinary in September.
I am pumped to move home in the spring!
Boston Pizza pays the bills but sucks bad,
and I start my new job tomorrow!
Also last Thursday we went to the Palomino to see Dennis Ellsworth play. It was awesome to see him again and he put on a great show. The bartender (who was terrifying) made drop shots for these girls which included a line of fire on the bar, filling her mouth up with liquor, and spitting it all over me and cory (innocent bystanders) which obviously made a blast of fire. Then she got the girls to help her blow out the fire so they could drink their shots.

one sheep for your ore.
a few days into my trip. I am freaking exhausted.
It's been great so far. I have done lots, seen tons of people, and I'm still in the growing position of wanting to move home.
And eaten FOUR turkey dinners so far in the span of a week! Not even including leftovers. I feel great.
Tomorrow: Farmer's Market, pilates at 11, possibly sledding with Cory and Brandon, dinner at Gram's..
