How is this my life????
Things that are presently making my life GREAT:
[*] Today was the first day of me being an E-Commerce Fulfillment Representative! (isn't that title impressive? ;o) It was so good to be back in that group and learning new things. All my new teammates were happy and welcoming, and my schedule is staying the same as it was for this week (which means I can keep some engagements with friends ;).
[*] I call Primus to get my internet re-connected. After transferring me to 3 different people, I got to one that could help me. Apparently it can take up to a week and a half for them to actually do this, but I'm beyond caring since I'll have my own network again.
[*] The incredible support and appreciation that I've gotten from all my wonderful friends. Their expression of this has ranged from 'Congratulations' cards to tasty brunch to pizza & wine to an upcoming spaghetti dinner to very excited e-mails to actual hugs and, most touching of all, a couple of "I'm proud of you."'s. I'm still a little in shock at this outpouring and am working accepting that you all simply wish me. (note to self: it shouldn't be this hard to accept such positive emotions)
[*] The Vampire Diaries is back!!! Need I say more??? I know, I know, there's lots more to say, but let's just leave it at I simply love that I can look forward to new and exciting storylines for my beloved Damon and Elena <3
[*] I just returned from the grocery store where I made some long-overdue healthier food choices. I got Alpen muesli cereal that has ingredients I can actually pronounce like Whole Oat Flakes, Whole Wheat. Raisins (coated with pressed sunflower oil), Whole Grain Barley, Brown Sugar, Skim Milk Powder, Roasted Hazelnuts, Barley Malt Extract, Sliced Almonds. Then there is the Dempsters Canadian Century Grains bread made from Red Fife Wheat (one of Canada's oldest wheat varieties). It also has flaxseeds, rye meal, barley flakes, and cracked wheat. Also worth mentioning is the yogurt & granola bar & cucumbers & baby carrots snack pack and the muskoka chicken salad with mixed greens, strawberries, blueberries, and chicken breast. I am currently enjoying a bbq chicken breast with scalloped potatoes and downed 2 big glasses of milk (because apparently I'm craving milk these days). I kinda blew my grocery budget, but I'm determined not to let being broke be an excuse for bad food choices.
[*] It is warm and balmy here today. :D
[*] Connecting with my friends whether by chat or e-mail or telephone or Skype and discussing a whole range of topics that have nothing to do with tv shows (shocking, I know ;). You all are such a blessing to me that it bears repeating often, as far as I'm concerned.
In closing, don't expect to see much of me here this week as it's shaping up to be rather full. Tuesday I'm visiting Dad, Wednesday I'll be picking up Janne, Thursday is dinner & TVD with Frances & Brennan, Friday I'm working at the barn, Saturday I'm working at the office, and Sunday I'm back at the barn. I also need to fit in walking and, you know, doing dishes, and sleeping in there ;). I will pop on whenever I can.
I also want to watch TGW and NCIS episodes, as I've only seen the premieres of both of this.
One minor irritant ... I was going to put in a screencap from TVD 4x01 but apparently I don't have permission to see the website I have used for the last 3 seasons .. *pouts*
