So the date that we have scheduled for the offical opening of our doors at work is fast approaching. May 1st is when we will be open to the public....when I have to have all the programming in place...rehearsed, tested and ready to go. Can we say full plate?!! Needless to say I'm a bit stressed and finding out there's not enough hours in the day. I had hoped to schedule an evening to stay in the office and work, but my next free evening is Saturday....and I am not spending a Saturday in the office....no way, no how.
I've made an official decision that I'm going to start actively looking at apartments instead of just talking about it! HAHA....I know, right now Q you're busting a gut laughing at me. But you probably know me better than most people and know that is so something that I'd totally do. Sure, living at home for free is great....but I so need my own space. When mom starts joking about what I do for extra-curricular activities, it's time to get my own place!
Other than that...life is pretty much the same. I would like to take a mini-vacation before I start in full swing in May. So we gotta start planning Q....ask the roomies if I can come crash! Boozefest 2006...it's been far too long!

Travelling bunny
I've just returned from a business trip in Quebec City on Aboriginal Tourism. So great. It was so cool being at a conference where I was part of the crowd, the discussion....not just there cause one or both of my parents had to attend. LOL I feel like such a grown up now.....networking, handing out business cards. So exciting. I landed safe and sound late Wednesday night and then woke up to the most amazing Thursday.
I had the rare opportunity to spend an hour with Ruth Whitehead going through the artifacts that the Nova Scotia Museum has in storage. For those of you who don't know, Ruth had devoted about 40 years of her life to studying Mi'kmaw History and has been a curator for the NS family of museums and had published many books on the topic. I got to see up close and personal (not behind a glass barrier) Mi'kmaw basketry, quillwork, and birchbark items dating back some 200 years. AMAZING is the only thing I could say. I know, some may think I'm a total geek....but it is an incredible feeling to be standing in the presence of so much history knowing that these things were made by my ancestors and are even more beautiful up close then one would ever imagine.
Other than that....when I'm not emmersed in something tourism related, then I'm apparently living up to my new name as Truro's bar star and I'm partying it up at Chevy's. LOL.....gotta keep life entertaining in this quiet town. And don't you worry your little heart....I've been doing a friggin good job of keeping it entertaining....just ask my friend Christa...she could probably write a novel at this point in the game! LOL.....ciao amigo!

Painting and partying
So this weekend was one of my favorites in a long time. I woke up Sat am and thought....I want to paint today. So I went into town and bought some wall paint and all the other important things. I spent the rest of the day Saturday painting the main bathroom. That evening the girls called me and asked me to hit up Chevy's with them. Of course I said yes...and am I glad I did. I had a blast!! One of my favorite times at Chevron's...no doubt. I barely knew anyone there...and I don't know what made it so over the top great...but it was!
Then on Sunday, I finished off the paint job. Attached is the picture of the finished product. I love it and am so exicted that it turned out as well as it did. When I went into the project Sat am....the walls were white....the entire bathroom was just white. I wanted to try the faux stone wall look...and it turned out better than I could've ever imagined. Ok...enough of a blog for tonight...I'm tired. Good night....
