Oh, I hope I work tomorrow! Please, please please please let me work tomorrow! And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. And the ones after that, and so on and so forth so I can pay the rent next month. Blecccch.

Had a lovely, lovely weekend. Spent most of it with George, hence the loveliness of it. Thursday night, I did the unthinkable – saw George Porter in concert. I always swore I’d never see him again, but George wanted to go, so I went. And had fun, if only because of the company (siiiigh…am I sad or what?) Earlier that night we went to pub quiz night, and lost…again…but played with these four 21 year old girls who made me feel reeeeeally old. I think that we grow up more from our early to late twenties than in any other time of our lives. So far, anyway. So on Friday, I hung out with George (he had taken the day off work) and went home, took a nap, and went to the Quarter with Kristina and John and his new girlfriend, Blair, who we adored. Yay! We drank all sorts of fruity concoctions and got pretty tipsy, but had a great time. Spent Saturday with George, just hanging out, then went home, took a nap (sound familiar?) and went to Anne’s mom’s house for dinner. It was really nice to see her, not least because she was so happy to see us. Always nice. Then Kristina and George and I met up with John and Blair again at the R Bar and just stayed there most of the night. Good people, good fun, great time. Life is wonderful! (Except for the unemployment stress…)

Today Kristina and I saw “Insomnia” which was okay. Not the type of movie I like to see, in general, but it was a good way to pass the afternoon. Then we rented the videotape of the last five episodes of the third season of Sex & the City. Sad to see it end. Wish season four would come out on video right now!!!

Please let me work tomorrow!!!!

Applied for some new jobs today. See, I’m not completely lazy in my unemployment! One of them sounded really cool, as a Mac Artist for some investment firm. I’m sure I’ll never hear from them, but that’s their loss. Hmmph. Also added some new pictures to my photos page, just for fun. Blah, blah, blah. Last night there was a show on the Outdoor Life Network (or the Canadian channel as Kristina and I call it, since their logo features a big maple leaf) about the London Marathon. Curiously enough, Chris and I weren’t in it. Hmmph. But it was cool to watch anyway. Also, we saw “The Importance of Being Earnest” yesterday. It was goooood. Okay, okay, so Colin Firth could pick his nose for an hour and I’d pay to see it, but really, it was very entertaining.

Chris and the BR kids are having a luau in July and they decided to make it a Pam going away party. Aren’t they just swell? That should be fun. Of course, now that I really think about moving, it depresses me terribly. Makes me sad. I can’t not move, it’s something I really need to do, but right now, I just…don’t…wanna!

Month of change

Whew! Who knew your entire life could change in a week or so? I suppose I should say month. April has been a month of change for me, that’s for sure. Run a marathon. Change careers. And that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceburg. So yes, yesterday Sarah and I amicably decided to part ways. Best for everyone. The company, particularly. The wine side of things is taking off more than MardiGrasStore.com ever can (well, it’s not like wine is seasonal) so my job has become a bit less important. Which I’m perfectly fine with. I’m excited about exploring new career possibilities. (wow. how cliche’d can i get?) Anyway, that’s my big news now. Wish I could say I’ve been running since Saturday, but I have not. Yesterday was kind of hectic, and tonight I’m cooking dinner for Ren and Gary and Kristina and George. So maybe tomorrow. Oh yeah, and the tenth is my last day, and since Kristina will be free the following week (the week before graduation) I’m not going to have a mini-vacation that week. Woo! Well, I do have a dentist’s appointment on that Tuesday, so it’s probably for the best that I won’t be going to work all drooly and numb and spitting blood like I did last week. Ew. And I can interview at some temp agencies, which is what I think I’m going to do for the summer. After all, this may be my last summer to do something like this. Wish I had lots of money saved up. Then I’d go back to London. Sigh.

April 25, 2002

Okay, didn’t run yesterday either, but I did spend my afternoon hauling 40 lb boxes of beads around, and I got really sweaty, so we’ll count that as upper body work/a little cardio in there. But I’m definitely going for a few loops of the park this afternoon.

I put more pictures up on my marathon report.
