Blog Update
Hello Internet.
I’m going to re do my blog.
I’ve recently been inspired by a handful of blogs and I’d really like to copycat.
Except that I’ll add my own twist -and I won’t live in L.A. or NYC.
I’m on Twitter and actually update that. hourly.

Wow I'm Really Tired
This week has been intense.
I started back on site for the City’s Watermain Cleaning & Lining Program. I didn’t realize how much I missed being outside! I might need to reconsider the next few weeks… maybe juggle around my schedule to be on site instead of in the office. Yuck.
Wednesday night, one of Adam’s bands played at A Khord. They were great. It’s been a...

My friend Jill posted a thread on giraffecycle re: BLOGS.
Then I was all “oh yeah. I have one of those”.
Lately:
+ Adam has moved in… save for the rent part. But I haven’t bought groceries for WEEKS. Exhilarating for some reason. If only my power bill would magically pay itself.
+ I started posting on twitter. It’s pretty entertaining to read quickly while...

oh hello, internet!
I just remembered tat I have a blog!
It’s almost Christmas shopping. This is the first time that I have purchased things for my friends and family members - and I’m happy with my choices. I got them things I wanted to… and I didn’t spend $5 per person.
I just hope I can be around when they open them.
Tonight I’m in Montreal. I drove up on Sunday to spend a few...

just in case...
If I ever use my blog to talk bad about my boyfriend… please shoot me in the face.
I might use my blog to talk about my job, or my rent, or the fact that I’m now a mother of 3… but if I have a problem with my boyfriend I’m going to tell him to his face.
I owe Adam more respect than talking shit about him in a blog that anyone can read.
ugh.
My blog updates have been...

Laundry at Mom's
Whew!
I noticed this morning that I had 3 pairs of socks left that fit in my work boots. That usually means I’m in need of some serious laundry time.
I came to my Mom’s right after work (at 5pm! What a treat!) to get started.
Adam and I went to Fredericton last night to pick up a snare drum he bought of kijiji. I haven’t seen him that happy in a long long time. The snare...

This is what I did at work today!!
Tuesday already...
I had the most lovely 4 day weekend a girl could ask for. Last Wednesday around noon I decided that I didn’t think I wanted to come in on Thursday… or Friday for that matter. Luckily, I have a few people at the office that can take over on a whim.
I stayed home with the cats, cleaned a bit, unpacked a lot, made 3 dozen cupcakes from my new Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World cook...

Wow, great weekend!
Friday:
Adam worked the door at the Jimmy Swift Band show. I did not join him. Instead…
I met up with my long lost friends Chris Lavigne and Alex Walsh. Alex had to work until 9pm, so Chris and I shopped a little and then the three of us went to Montana’s for dinner.
Saturday
Nicole moved out
Battle Cat and Gideon moved in.
Abby Cat is pissed.

Friday. Woo Hoo!
(11:17am, 4/10)
Not bad, considering it was 6:00pm yesterday when we hit this monumental milestone.
Plans for the weekend are few.
Adam is working the door for the Jimmy Swift Band show tonight.
Tomorrow Aimee and Cory are coming from PEI to drop off their cats and hang out.
The All of Green CD release show is tomorrow night at A Khord. I’m so excited for their album.
Alex Gamble...
Hump Day!
I started out my day on a good note!
Breakfast of Champions: Strawberries, Soy Cereal and Almond Milk. DELISH.
When I arrived on site this morning I was greeted by the drama llama. I guess the other guy that works with me has been nit-picking over things that don’t really matter and getting most of the guys on site on their bad side. I put the fire out and kind of told “my...

Remember I posted the 10 steps to cleaned and lined pipe?
We’re on step 3 at 11:38am
Sad times.
Back on site...
It’s Tuesday already with not much to speak of.
We tried lining yesterday but a valve on the Bayside Drive line wouldn’t seat. We could have isolated the line, but unfortunately the 15” watermain feeds most of the industrial park.
Brad moves in the Sunday. I’m really pumped. I think he’ll be a good roommate!
Nicole is “moving out” this weekend. I...
Roommate success!
Brad is going to move in just as soon as Nicole moves out! Hooray! My anxiety about finding someone to move in versus forking over an extra $350 next month was not a thing I was into.
In other new: I went to “Harvesting the Arts” today (a get together of the City’s artsy-fartsy people) and picked up a few awesome things…
A pottery mug made by Saint John’s...
Potential Roommate
So I posted an add on kijiji, facebook and giraffecycle for a potential roommate. I have this great apartment on Pitt Street… but only so much money. Nicole “lives” here now, but has recently decided to get a new apartment with her boyfriend, Blair. I guess I can understand not wanting to pay rent at two places.
She told me that she would pay for her bedroom until I found...
Fridays optional.
Oh hi.
It’s Friday… that means I spent 3.5 hours of my day working and the rest doing laundry at my Mom’s house. Awesome!
Adam and I have been trying to figure out our plans for the weekend… but no luck. Not yet.
Our Friend Jason is playing tonight at Thandi’s. He’s writes really heartfelt, sappy songs about past loves and heartache… mostly heartache....
So I'm starting another blog...
I used to have a livejournal… then I thought I would “grow up” to the blog world and get a blogspot. I can’t even remember what the login info for that was.
I live in the uptown of Saint John, New Brunswick. I have a roommate, she spends 90% of her time at her boyfriend’s house or at her job. I have a cat, she spends 100% of her time on my bed. I have a boyfriend,...
Is -1 an option?
I usually rank things I do or things I want to do on a 1-to-10 scale.
I have the option to go see a great band on Friday: 10 out of 10
I think I have a cavity: 0 out of 10
I am so bored of my current job: -1 out of 10.
Ugh. I work for a consulting firm. I’m a Civil Engineer. I watch contractors work all day, cleaning and lining pipe in my hometown. I’ve been doing this now for 10...
