The fun and the not so fun

What kind of a blogger would I be if I didn’t update you as to my adventures during my recent hiatus? In point form (because it’s just easier for everyone), and in chronological order (because let’s face it, I’m like that) here’s what has happened in my life of late:

  • Because I still hadn’t found a new job, I agreed to work a few shifts a week until I find something better (not so fun).
  • I bought tickets to Dave Matthews Band’s concert on June 18 in Toronto (fun).
  • I restored my twitter account, so follow me! (fun)
  • I found out one of my oldest friends is (finally) pregnant after (really) wanting it for so long (fun). Congratulations Ate xMaeyox!
  • I inadvertently irritated xCanuckleheadx when I carelessly read his post listing the reviews he got on xentrecardx (not so fun). (I’m sorry again :( forgive me?)
  • I put away my winter coats (fun).
  • I talked to him on the phone (fun).
  • I cleaned Sierra inside and out (fun).
  • I finally cleaned up Shiobhan (to get her ready for some serious backing up, and then reformatting and reinstalling (fun).
  • I (albeit grudgingly) upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1 (not so fun). (Honestly).
  • I got hit on by a very creepy, very crazy, very drunk, old man… further convincing me that my time in ‘the industry’ is done (not fun at all).
  • I went up to Barrie to meet an old friend (a very dear friend), Ash who I haven’t seen since her wedding last April (fun).
  • I met up with some (very old) friends who live in Mississauga and were in town for the night, had a ball at a questionable nightclub (fun).
  • I cooked and BBQ’d for the family: Tandoori chicken on the barby, Spinach pasta with shrimp & mushrooms in a cream sauce topped with parmesan cheese and a side of Steamed veggies… yum (fun).
  • I went out for drinks with a lovely couple who are also doing the long distance thing between Canada and Ireland (fun).
  • Finally got a phone call from the agency about a job that runs from May 1 to May 16 (fun).
  • Had to tell the Manager at the restaurant that I couldn’t work a shift on May 1 that he had scheduled me for. I didn’t feel very nice about having to do it. But I had no choice :( (not so fun).
  • I realised I simply can’t wait to see him again (fun… and not so fun). 24 days left!

And that pretty much sums up my hiatus…. I’m sure I have a lot more to write. But I’m simply exhausted so I’ll have to continue on tomorrow. Luckily, I’m not working till (my last shift) the evening so I’ll have plenty of time to work on it. I missed you all so very much!

    Erica – Thanks for the welcome and I’m so glad too (re: Twitter)!

    Peri – Same here… I’d much rather be on twitter than drop cards but I’m sure I’ll still be back on dropping soon enough!

    Beeker – Yeah, it’s been pretty crazy busy so it was nice not to have to worry about the blog for a bit. Meant I could relax when I did have any down time.

    Jillian – Thanks so much for the welcome!! Twitter takes a litlte while to get into the groove of things… but since I use a Twitter Sync that posts my tweets as status updates on facebook so I can kill two birds with one stone! :D
