Jobs!

So the news of the day is, I have a job interview on Tuesday! About time, I know, but it's great timing as far as I'm concerned. It's for another group home, 20 hours a week, which would still leave me time for that masters should I decide that's the way I want to go. At least I can start getting my life in order this way.

Tuesday was Mike's birthday, and he decided he wanted to celebrate by having a few friends over, and then heading out to do trivia. He had quite a few drinks bought for him, which he was happy about, but I wasn't quite as happy about! I just wanted to go home after trivia, but Mike still had half a pitcher and no one to help him finish it. It was his birthday, though, so he got to stay as long as he wanted to. Mike and Lauren brought over an air mattress beforehand, so that Eryn will have something to sleep on when she gets here.

Tuesday was also my first real workout at Curves (yes, I am menopausal. Very very early menopausal.). It got my heartrate up, I figured out all the machines, and I'm ready to get strengthened up. I'll be going again today. It will be a nice walk over there because, once again, it's sunny and warm out! Last night was rude though, after hockey it got extremely windy and started pouring rain.

Yesterday was Mike's friend Declan's birthday, and at one of the local restaurants, they send free meal coupons to your e-mail on your birthday. So Mike, Declan, and their friend Chris (whose birthday it was last week) all had coupons, and we decided to all go out for supper last night. Turns out Declan never got his coupon, so his fiancee paid for him instead.

The boys won their game again last night, and were pretty pleased with themselves. I was pretty pleased because there were three other girls there to watch with me! We don't usually have that good of a turnout. The guys definitely had fun, Mike of course pretended he was terrible again, but I actually watch the game so I know he's not even close to being the worst. That spot is reserved for number 6, who I don't actually know and I'm sure he's a very nice guy, but he's quite the puck hog! And it costs the team! But it's just a recreational league, so really, it doesn't matter all that much.

I had my photos developed here at Shoppers, and they gave me a CD with them all on it already! Pretty decent, for $10 a roll, I got double prints and a CD of all my shots. So I can share my SLR photos too, which I'm sure is a good thing, right?! I've been having fun figuring it out; took it out a few times on the drive over and a few times while wandering around Dundas, but the best photos are from BC (duh!). Not just for the scenery, but those were summer time pictures so there's much more light and much more going on! Ah well, I had fun, and that's all that matters, right?! Photos this week are all from the SLR: Spencer Creek in Dundas, old buildings at the port of Thunder Bay, a gate in a wall in Dundas, and jetsam at Long Beach. The final shot is just an old one from Whistler, shows what I've been dreaming about lately!!!
