im in a strange mood so bear with me....if this is slightly fragmented and spontaneous just embrace it. its -11 outside right now and snow is forecast again for tomorrow and the next day, i really love the snow....but i might have to get my thermals out pretty soon ! As you may have seen from Alice's blog we got our festive cheer in the form of a christmas tree. she always pips me to the post with her reporting, if we worked for rival newspapers id be getting the sack. Talking of which, i now have a job...a real job thats decent. I work in lombardos (http://www.lombardos.ca/) on commercial drive. started today and the people seem pretty cool. working again on monday and tues and fri, will be working the evening shift which is 5-11 and im signed up for at least 3 shifts a week. i had the interview on thurs, went pretty well. i had arrived there early so i went to the booze shop and treated myself to a bottle of sailor jerry rum (as you do at 10am..right?) to pass the time and make me smile. so anyway after the interview i was in town buying wrapping paper and pottering around when i thought i would have a seat. so i slung my bag down and just as i took a seat my phone rang....as i answered it i realized the loud crack when i put my bag down had been the rum smashing in my bag. the $30, month long booze investment rum. my first bottle of rum in canada rum. so as she told me i had the job, im in the team, work mcworkson an all that jazz...all i could think was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY RUM !!!! i made arrangements to start work today at 11am and hung up. then i took the plastic bag full of rum out my bag, held it up over the bin and for a split second....no scrap that for about 5 minutes if not 10 i contemplated drinking it through the filter of the bag right there and then. but then rationality took over and i through it out.... bad times.
im not over it.
Ate some gingerbread cookies today which alice baked, delish.
im all tucked up in bed so i don't think im gonna manage and put any pictures with this post but they will come.
we are having a bit of a mulled wine event tomorrow....just us and our zero friends......................well....we shall see.
my plan is to get up at 8am tomorrow and head over to a place on main to buy a canvas which im then going to paint and enter to this gallery thing. basically you buy the canvas for $10 make it look good and then try and sell it for $100 and you get $50 and the rest goes to charity and everyone is happy :) i also signed up to volunteer at an art event in january. need some arty people around me, fun fun. so i suppose i better get some sleep for that plan to work out...
