Playin’ Catch Up

I am woefully over due for a good post. Or quite frankly, any post at all.  Forgive me readers for I have sinned, how many paragraphs must I write?

This last week was hectic in that fervent way that lets you know you have a life to live and that this isn’t just some dress rehearsal. New job (week 2) is getting better in that I am starting to get the ‘big picture’ of what it is I need to be doing, how it should be done and where my work fits into the organization as a whole. This is very important for someone with my personality. I am forever asking “but why?” and to not have an answer is intellectual nails-on-a-chalk-board for me. The knowing helps me situate myself and that feels good.

Some HM highlights from the week are being told that my boss likes my writing style (as this is a huge part if my job this is a source of great relief), seeing my sister after 2 weeks: she puts the love in lovely, ’nuff said. Watching the Habs game at my TO Habs bar with the gang and flirting almost shamelessly with a friend of a friend in from out-of-town. I say ‘almost’ because truth is I dint have to do too much of the work. If I was any less of a lady… but alas, my mama raised me right. Flirting as fun-sport: I like! Other HM include becoming slowly addicted to Flight of the Conchords (watch it now) and picking up the keys to me new pad.

Whioch bring s me to this week-end. I am back in Mtl to load my stuff into a ViaRoute truck and drive it westward. My father is being good enough to drive me out as the truck has to be dropped back in Mtl. Two godo friedns who I consider myslef luck to have helped me shlep couch and table and mattress etc and I owe them BIG TIME. K & M (neither of whom read this mind you but still… ) You guys are awesome and I am so thankful. Oh! And while I need do work on breaking with more finesse, I am pleased to inform you that I drove the 20+ foot cube truck around town today. I like it! Only wish I had one of them nifty trucker horns. Oh, the fun I would have… 

The cap off for this omnibus post must be, without a doubt being invited to watch the 2nd game in the semi-finals at the Bell Centre. This was AMAZING for a number pf reasons. In no particular order:

We won.

The seats were outofthisworld good. (I am so spoiled sometimes I can’t even imagine).

I got to go with someone who makes it impossible for me not to smile. Often times in spite of myself.

Did I mention we won? In overtime?!

Tomorrow I wake early and hop the 401 with papa. I hope the 6 hour drive doesn’t kill us. We love each other but are not the most compatible duo ever and I pray the CBC has solid programming lined up. On the other hand this could be a great opportunity to bond. Stay tuned.

Last but not least; next time I post it will most likely be from my new digs. I can not wait. My nesting nature is excited about making a house into a home. This is the third time I do this but the first time I do it solely for myself. I already know I make a good ‘wife’ and roommate, lets see how I fair on my own. I for one have no hesitations or concerns.

OK, bed time. G’night and GO HABS GO!
