Dun Dun Dun DUNNNNNNNNN

The search is on once again...

Perhaps I should have been a bit more selective and less quick to the draw...but either way I couldn't have known what I now do...Luckily, I can (and will) get another one that is better then better in the very, VERY near future :P

Either way, I won't be without money (F-that yo)...and I'm so excited to plan dates, picnics, and fun things galore for us to do together, now that the financial side of things is easing in a really great way!

The west end is so romantic, and I guess I am (or can be) too *blush*

P.S - I still fall every day...and no...not from my bike <3

Vita-mine

Health is wealth to me...and I'm finally starting to make some serious investments!

I rode my bike to work for the first time ever this morning and it felt so good coasting alongside that sardine-packed streetcar, that would have normally featured my pale face in one of the grimey windows.

This weekend is shaping up to be a great refresher to another work week start and I'm really looking forward to every moment we get to spend together ;)

*******************************************************************************

Ouuu...random score...I just found a box of Rooibos tea in the storage closet...UNF...off to the kitchen I go, later skater!

To (immediately) Do

Some of these should have been done a while back...but...life happens :)

- Call Visa collector guys
- Plead and win $0 fee for my now cubed car
- Clean up the apartment thoroughly
- Organize and get rid of some of the extra clutter (the Goodwill bag in the closet, computer parts...)
- Heal lip! (almost there)
- Make, and use up, as much of the current fridge stock as possible (to be repopulated this weekend) to create tons of yumminess
- Quit nitpicking Kyle (I always think I'm helping, but I'm not...must...stop)
- Keep on keepin' on

...after I get paid in just over a week from now my 'To-Do's' (especially the extended ones) are going to become much less blah!

The buck stops here...no wait...it's just beginning!

For someone who very rarely gets nervous, there's a whole slew of butterfly wings tickling my insides today...

I really hope everything goes well for both of us with our new positions (both in the workplace, and in life...)...I'm not worried....but at the same time, I am...

If we're on the same page (or at least in the same book)...I'm pretty sure it'll build and lead into an amazing story with a definite 'happily ever after'...though I feel like we're still in the introductory chapter right now...

Oh the suspense!

Water on the brain...

^
...not literally though!

Figuratively speaking it translates into the new position I have accepted, and will be starting this coming Monday morning with City Water International - www.cityh2o.com

:D

I'm quite pleased as the pay rate is pretty decent...and it's only a short jaunt from my now previous commute at King/Bathurst. It's very similar to a position I held with Crystal Springs (now Canadian Springs) years ago. It's eerily exciting to resume the Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm shift...and even though an hour lunch break wouldn't be my personal choice...the fact that we have a little gym in the building to use free of charge is a great benefit, and I look forward to ensuring that my health goals remain well intact...despite sitting on my behind for hours at a time!

...finally ;)

Restart

Sitting here in my dad's apartment, and my old bedroom in particular...past memories, both good and bad spring eternal.
As toxic as he's been throughout my life (as well as for it), I've never had a single friend or family member who's cared even 1/2 as much about me over the past 27 years (Kyle excluded of course).
Kind of sad really...especially after just watching a television show discussing how it truly does take a village to raise a child, and how the amount of love they receive is surely one of the strongest developmental factors in existence.
...pity party aside :P

I kind of feel like I've been given a second chance at life lately...

New life, new love, new job, new me...I hope...

My hormones seem to have the best (aka worst) of me today...but this is to be expected pretty much every 4 weeks, heh.

I've been harping endlessly lately over my need for four legged companionship, and now low and behold...my ancient (now *well* over a decade old), evil kitten has decided to sit directly in my crossed legs, purring away loudly as I write this (something she has never EVER done)...I needed that <3

Cause we are living in a material world....and I'm a capatalistic hippie girl!

If I could give myself a belated house warming present it would be this:


If my dad finally wins the lottery like he keeps telling me he's going to, lol...then this too shall be mine:


*purrrs*

Everything around us will become supersized...

Interviews are on their way (and in your case completed!), and I'm quite excited to earn some decent money soon enough :D

I'm not necessarily a material person, however there are still quite a few dollar oriented goals, projects, and purchases...that are going to become SO much easier for both of us quite soon!

Until then, we've got many dates to plan and enjoy...*daydreams* <3

"Cause I've been dreaming we could be the fire for this night.
Can't stop..."

Digitalism - Pogo

I could relate us to every song I love...*blush*

Hor'oh'scoping

Oh my...

When KG and SG come together in a love affair, the inherent polarity of the Zodiac is invoked. KG and SG are directly opposite one another in the Zodiac -- 180 degrees apart. Each Sign possesses qualities that the other lacks; combined with SG's natural yen for harmony, this can be a relationship that enjoys great balance. KG is the Sign of Self while SG is the Sign of Partnership, and the differences continue: KG is impulsive, excitable and ready to jump right into something new and exciting, while SG is indecisive, peace-loving and prefers a calm, smooth approach. KG can learn from SG that their own way isn't necessarily the best way.

These two share the great sexual attraction common to all that are opposite in polarity. At the same time, though this pair's connection is amazing when it's good, it can be extremely challenging when it's bad. All polarities have energies that tend to tangle or knot if understandings can't be reached. As a combination, KG and SG are well-balanced. Charming, cultured SG can teach brash KG something about style. SG prizes harmony in a relationship and will go to great lengths to maintain it. KG is very decisive and can teach indecisive SG about relying on intuition for answers.

KG is ruled by the Planet Mars and SG is ruled by the Planet Venus. This is a great match, as these are the Planets of Passion and Love, respectively. Venus and Mars go well together as they're the two sides of the love relationship coin. They're universally recognized as male and female and this relationship is a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Venus is about the beauty of romance while Mars is about the passion of romance. What a good combination!

KG is a Fire Sign and SG is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and helps it grow and spread. KG can have a very positive effect on SG's growth, ideas and progress; KG can help SG put their ideas into action. Working together can be challenging at times, however, due to their polarity. KG's fast-paced, impetuous approach to projects may conflict with SG's more balanced, intellectual approach. However, both have wide-ranging interests, and at the end of a long, active day, KG can come home full of interesting stories to tell the more cerebral SG!

KG and SG both have a lot of initiative -- but lack in follow-through. They both tend to start things they're never going to finish, whether it's a job, a project, a relationship ... KG will appear to be the leader because of their energy and forceful nature, but SG leads from an intellectual standpoint. Both want to be in charge, but KG uses force and sometimes intimidation to get what they want while SG uses charm and sometimes manipulation. Compromise is essential to this relationship's health. Diplomatic SG has a much easier time with compromise than does KG, who strongly dislikes yielding to another person, viewing it as submission. SG may have to give in more often to KG's wishes in order to keep the peace that they so cherish.

What's the best aspect of the KG-SG relationship? The harmony resulting from the union of Venus and Mars. The balance between self and other represented by this polarity is a great learning experience for both. Each brings to the relationship what the other is missing, making for a wonderful balance.
