Happy Birthday to ME!

Well yesterday was my bday and I had a blast....thanks to all my Truro friends who came out to party hardy with me...and to all my away friends for the well wishes! I don't have too much to write....but here's a couple of pics...one of the girls at Chevy's and the other is of my birthday present to myself. I'm in love with my new bed!

Old and grey...

I'm old. It's official....I'm days away from my birthday and I've never felt older than I have lately. I'm excited when I can have early morning shifts and I get to go to bed early. I need something in my life to make me feel young again. Maybe my birthday night on the town will do that for me. As long as I don't do the "let's drink like we did in high school" night again....right Q?!?! We've learnt that's never a good idea!! EEEEEKK....I'll never touch Tropikiwi again in life.

Hehe....other than that life is pretty quiet. I been spending my evenings this week quiet at home watching movies....nothing beats curling up on the couch after a long day at the office. It certainly makes me happy.....or at least satisfied....happy would be warm summer weather and actually getting to see some sunlight.

I have scheduled myself a long weekend...and boy am I excited! I think I'm gonna go somewhere fun during the day Saturday. Mom and I are doing a birthday brunch, then maybe I'll take a mini roadtrip somewhere for the afternoon....gotta be back for my bday celebration! I'm sure there will be plenty of entertaining stories after the weekend....I'll blog again then! Toodles :)

New schedule & time off

Well, starting May 1st we opened our doors to the public 7 days a week. So my work schedule for the month is totally messed up. I can't wait for June when I go to a normal two week rotation. Because I had to do the May schedule in March trying to forsee where we'd need the most staffing, it was rough...and I'm bounced all around the week. Ugggh...it's not leaving me enough time to get things done.

Other than that....I attended the huge Saltscapes Expo a couple weekends ago in Halifax. Its the big tourism expo where NS gets to promote itself. It was so much fun....mind you I was so tired of smiling all day...but, I really love the tourism industry. AND I got to meet Michael Smith, (he's a Chef with shows on the Food Network from PEI) one of my two fav chefs!!

I had my first real dinner party in my new place - 6 friends came over and we had lots of food and lots of laughs. It was great. I so love entertaining. Ok....I just love not being alone all the time. hehe! I did however spend some good alone time on my day off, Saturday working on a painting. It was my first time working on a canvas...I was so nervous....and my second time working with acrylic...so I had no idea how it would turn out. I still don't know how I feel about th piece...it's starting to grow on me, I think. Q, you know...I'm just far too critical of my own work. But....here it is....this is my first canvas piece.
