Come Home

So Raisa is away on a business trip. It's been almost a week and it's been one of the MOST boring weeks of my life - with the exception of the times I've been with friends. (shout out to Boo the Ghost, C Brain, and LW) I think when Raisa left I was a little bummed but also kind of excited to have a whole bed to myself (I like to sleep in a "pike position"...aka a 90 degree angle. Hard to do with someone else in the bed) Now I'm just really excited for her to come home.

The Olympics being in town is awesome. Even if I end up moving back to Edmonton tomorrow, the experience of living in the Olympic City during the 2010 winter olympics is unforgettable. Just FYI, I won't be moving back to Edmonton tomorrow. The whole city is buzzing. The free events are awesome - I've gotta get downtown again and see more. If it wasn't for the Olympics and all the events on tv I think I would go crazy.

Also just finished reading the Time Travelers Wife. Cried a bit at the end - not afraid to admit it. That book is amazing.

The Squeakquel

Can I just say that even when I was a kid I knew that Alvin and the Chipmunks were awful? (Answer: yes i can. it's my blog, which means I get to say what I want) This show/franchise/whatever it is is simply awful. BUT I digress.

From my last blog entry lots of things have been going right for me! We had our last regular season game on Tuesday and I achieved a personal goal of mine. I have wanted to be the MVP of a game since the beginning of the season - and came close a couple of times, but this week I finally pulled it off. I scored a hat trick (leading my team to a win!) and notched an assist to finish off the night.

I got a callback from a kids after school care program who pay close to double what I make now (only 20 hours a week, but hey, I can do two jobs!) and had an interview yesterday. It went pretty well and in a week I'll know if I will have the job. My life would be immensely different if I enjoyed my job - which I know I would at this place.

My new years resolution was to not flake and so far it is going well. I think sometimes when I'm tired it's so easy to stay at home and take it easy but I've found I never regret it when I do kick myself in the butt and go out. I think it's easy hanging out with old friends where your comfortable and know what to expect. But with a new city and a bunch of new friends, everything is new and unexpected, which is exciting but also challenging.

And last but not least my phone bill has been paid off! And that allowed me to switch my plan, shaving about 45$ off my bill, meaning money in the bank. And my trip to Edmonton is booked. See you suckas soon!

That's all for today!
