April update

Ok, so it's been forever since I posted. Lack of postage is partly due to a case of the blahs and partly due to evil shifts at work. May and June are looking sweet though. I am available to be social - call me!

Speaking of socialness, I'm back in the dating world. EEP. I've had two dates in the last month. One that was horrid and awkward, mostly awkward, and I ended it quite abruptly because I couldn't take it anymore. The second one was quite nice. It was actually too bad I scheduled it with a valid excuse for leaving because I would have liked to stay longer. So we shall see.....

Trying to think of other events that have happened in the past month. My parents came for a visit and we (and by we, I mean mostly my dad) replaced the doors and window casings. Mostly I pulled off trim, including the baseboards, to prepare for new flooring which we will be getting in May. I love the new doors. They are white four paneled doors and I think they make the place look bigger and brighter. It was great having my parents here for a visit. We went shopping, out for supper, and my mom and I went to the gym three times together. I worked almost everyday they were here though, so I didn't spend as much time with them as I would have liked. My dad's coming back in May though.

We had Rodney and Fancy's going away slash Rodney's 30th birthday party way back at the end of March. It was a great party. Tonight, a few of us are going out for one final supper to the Olive Garden. I really only have one thing left to say on this particular issue - BASTARDS! Don't LEAVE!

The running thing is going really well. This week my goal is to do 10 mins run/2 mins walk/repeat. My run is on May 14 and is for the Stollery Children's Hospital here in Edmonton. On the off chance you have extra cash floating around, you can pledge me!! Email me or call me and I'll give you the info. Odds are, if you reading this, you are probably going to get a PLEDGE ME!!!! email in the new few days anyway. :)

So far, good news in the play off world. Oilers and Wings tied 1-1. I entered my work hockey pool twice. One my "realistic" pool where I have Detroit, Carolina, Ottawa, and Dallas as my four picks and my "wishful thinking" pool where I have the four Canadian teams (heavy on the Edmonton/Montreal guys). We'll see which one does better. I did half decent last time, because I actually picked Tampa and Calgary. I had to listen to one game at work, and watch one game at home. I'm really hoping to get together with people for some of the other games this week as I love watching them with people. I like sports bars too for playoff games. I love hockey, but other people are funnier.

Well, it's my day off and productive-ness would be a good thing. So I'm off to do something that doesn't involve my computer. I do have new pictures to post from Todd's weekend visit (very fun, nice to see him and everyone) and I'll try to post them tonight.
