Painting Pictures

That was my night tonight! My friend Doria came over and we painted some ridiculous posters for the Oil Wives play for Convention. Everything is a Hawaiian theme, and the play is something like Hawaii 5-0, mixed in with Elvis' Blue Hawaii (I think that's what it is), and Magnum PI. Basically, anything that was filmed in Hawaii. I wish I would have taken pictures, but I can do that at the rehearsal next week. The obese hula girl, and the parliament building were my projects. They were pretty cool.

And it was nice to hang out with Doria. She's a great chick, and we really do get along well. She's basically moved to Grande Prairie, so she's quite a ways away, but we'll see each other regularly until convention is over (which I might not even be able to make it to) and then whenever I'm in GP she's invited me to stay with her, which saves us a lot of money each time, and I have a feeling we'll be going there quite a bit in the next few months.

Anyways, it was a fun evening!

Another Day Done...

Day 2 of the OGC done. I'm now in HR full time, for now anyways.

And I'm on the 4th floor. I took the elevator all day yesterday, and then after lunch, on my way up on the elevator, I realized that I could be taking the stairs! Silly me! So, now I'm taking the stairs.

That's about all that's interesting today. Lame, yes. Oh well.

Monday, September 12

So, ok. Caught up. I really need to keep up. So hard sometimes though! I've been busy lately, and I hope that it can get a bit slower, but I don't see that happening.

Today was my first day at the Oil & Gas Commission. I think it's going to be more work than I was doing at Grimshaw, but it's very boring work. At least I'm busy, and I'm making good money.

I need to get onto my treadclimber, but I'm exhausted. I will do it tomorrow. For sure. I think I have an Oil Wives meeting to go to, but I'm dreading that too. I'm so over it. I can't wait for damn convention to be over. So over it.

Anyways, now that I am caught up, I should go. Do something more productive.

Sunday, September 11

Sunday, and a long, long drive home. Felt great to get home, that's for sure, even if we did get lost in construction, and it took us an extra hour to get home. I think that the cats appreciated us coming home!

Saturday, September 10

John's hockey day! The whole reason we were going to Calgary was for this. A three-on-three tournament to raise money for the NICUs in Calgary.

He played 3 games, won one and lost two. But he had fun, and I think he played very well. He was done by noon, but so totally pooped that we went back to the hotel for a while, and then went back for the final game. Pretty decent hockey.

Then we met up with my girlfriend, Reetu for dinner. And then a soak in the hot tub for John's sore muscles. Then early to bed, gotta get rested up for the drive home.

Friday, September 9

Calgary! And another hot day.

We got a chance to go visit my sister-in-law (John's step-sister) and her son. He decided that he liked me this time, which he didn't do before. It was super cute.

And we got a chance to relax after a long trip down. A nice, late dinner at Hooters (yes, Hooters. It was mag.).

And our GPS only got us lost twice, and only took us on Deerfoot during the afternoon rush hour. No biggie (NOT! I wish there was a sarcasm font!).

Thursday, September 8

Thursday we left for Edmonton. Fun! So hot. So ridiculously hot. We stayed with my uncle, and went out for dinner with one of my best friends who just moved there.

We also got some good news, but I am not at liberty to discuss it right now. As soon as I can, you will all know!
