Breaking Back & Scary Dreams

So my back is KILLING me. I feel like I have to constantly move in a vertical position...which means, no leaning forward, no bending over, it hurts so incredibly bad. I can't even get in for a massage until tomorrow....I have to keep taking deep breaths...ugh.

So I had a SUPER scary dream last night. I drempt that I woke up, and thought I heard someone coming into my apartment...then silence....Then he ran very fast, into my bedroom and I think he kidnapped me...(I'm not a kid...) but anyway, then I remember trying so hard to scream, but I was so terrified that I couldn't... Finally, I think I must have escaped, and fled, and my brother Jon, was living in the same apartment building as me, and I fled to his apartment, but I kept running into this man who kidnapped me...And I was terrified because the doors weren't locked in the apartment where I was & stuff...it was sorta scary...no VERY scary....I hate those kind of dreams.

This weekend Troy & I are going to visit his parents in Kelona. (I think I've mentioned this before). I'm SO excited about being cooped up in a car with Troy for 7 hours straight there, and back. With his job, and the hours he works, its not too often that we get to spend a lot of concentrated time together, enjoying one another, so I'm so excited to have him all to myself on our road trip. **IF anyone has any fun road-trip games to play, let me know, I'm SUPER interested in hearing about them. We love playing games.*

What else....my Piano Exam on Saturday went well. I won't know for a couple weeks how I did, but I think I did well. The only thing I"m sure I messed up on (after the fact) was putting "rests" into a piece of music. I sort of got confused on what you can combined...S-w-m-w & s-w-w and such...(if you're a music geek you probably know what I'm talking about). BUt I think I probably got everything else right...I really hope I did about 90%, not necessarily for my sake, but for that of my teacher, she's pretty awesome.

Anyway, I should get back to the ol' grind, but wanted to post my painful morning for all. :)

Have a great day...the mountains look amazing today in Calgary from my mountain view office. :)

Cold & Bothered

I'm happy today. Welcome to Saturday May 14, 2005 (Bonnie Fahnestock's Birthday if I remember correctly). its beautiful outside. I get to spend the majority of my day with my boy, who HOPEFULLY ins't too sleepy because its the lovely weekend. I have an exam in an hour & a half which I feel prepared for (which is pretty much a first for me, cause I'm a cramer). I've had fun clients in my office all morning and have been kept busy and challenged, so that's fun.

I'm looking for some innovative idea's to flag some business for my office. If anyone has any neat marketing tips for me, I'm son interested in hearing them. In my new position as Manager of the North Office, I'm looking for ways to really increase our revenue here and build this office like crazy. I need all the help I can get! :)

So I got emails from a few people who read my blog...THANK YOU!

Has anyone seen the British TV Series called "The Office"? Its HILARIOUS, and would definitely reccomend buying it...or at very least, renting it from Blockbuster or the like. I'll li nk it in here, when I have time. Hold on...Kyle is here and wants to see my blog...so I'm posting this now...

Going Public

So I've just sent off notification of my BLOG to everyone in my email list...so if you got that email and are here because of it...WELCOME! I hope to keep you entertained as you come back...so...please keep coming back! And leave me a comment to let me know you've been here!

Its nearly the weekend, and I'm so excited...oh, I've also decided to put my Mom's website onto my blog too...if you want to buy or sell a house, she's a selling MACHINE! So call her. :)

Enjoy Friday...

Why Is The Air Conditioner On?

So the temperature in my office is a schizophrenic…cold when we say hot, hot when we say cold. Hmmm…BURRRRRR…I’m cold. So one of the ladies in my office dropped her keys down the elevator shaft in her apartment building last night…isn’t that a hoot. Not funny. Just comical…I’ll keep you posted as to the events in the office…usually there’s some big event on a daily basis. So Troy’s friend Darin comes into town today. Darin is a production manager for the show “Corner Gas”. Troy and I have become quite addicted to Corner Gas...we watched nearly the entire first season in about 3 sittings (Troy bought the DVD's). As groupies, we want to go to SK to visit Darin…and MAYBE be extra’s on the show...*cross fingers*…wouldn’t that be fun! Check out the LINK to Corner Gas, and check out the show, Monday nights at 8 on CTV, it’s a hoot.
That’s all for now…

This is my cute boy...Troy. He ditched me for his other girlfriend tonight. (His cappuccino maker) and his bed. (He starts work at 4am)...so I'm here to work on this silly obsession of mine for a while. Lets see if this pictue works...

One More Thing...

So I've fallen...am falling...in love. Soon, I'll let all my friends & family know about my BLOG so they can read and see what's going on in my life too...I want to try to figure out how to actually put pictures on to this page, rather than just adding them as a blog, but anyway,...I've fallen in love. His name is TROY Bierman (said BEER-MAN) and he's an incredible man. He's far surpassed any expectation I've ever had for a man for myself, and continues to wow me with different ways he's perfect for me. He's the sophisticated, neat, responsible version of myself, which I think is hilarious. Anyway, keep checking back for more postings on this wonderful man. I've got to get back to work now, but I'll fill you in as time allows...

The Sushi Boat

I had a dentist appointment this morning, and forgot to bring a lunch to work with me. Well, not entirely forgot I suppose, more like, I was rushing and thought, "forget it" and ran out the door. Anyway, I decided to go to the Sushi Boat (one of my most favorite places) for some lunch. The food, is always a pleasant experience, however I don't think the one server likes me. She wasn't very nice to me throughout my "experience" at the sushi boat...In fact I didn't ever get asked if I'd like a drink. About 3/4 of the way into my meal, I asked her if I could please get some tea.

Anyway, my stomach is satisfied, but I wonder if I've done something to offend this Japanese server...huhh

So talk of Rob & Amber not willing is still in the air. I talked to my Hygenist this morning about it, and she's not terribly thrilled that they didn't win either. Has it ever happened in REAL LIFE where a airplane has opened its gate after closing it already, to let a passenger on? Honestly.

Work today is kind of slow, and I don't know how I'll occupy my time this afternoon...I'm writing my Piano Theory Grad 5 exam on Saturday so maybe I'll look at my "terms".

Another BORING blog. Sorry...(not sure if anyone is reading this, or not...)

Testing Testing...1-2-3

First Blog...lets see if this time really works. I thought it'd be fun to post a blog on here to let everyone know what's going on in my life. They are kinda fun if you use them. Tonight I went to the Lido in Kensingon with Troy for dinner...I don't necessarily reccomend it...well not for dinner, the breakfast special is super, but not the dinner. Then we went for a walk through Kensington. It was nice. I love watching the water in the Bow river...(we walked along the Bow). This will be short and boring, but there's more to come. I'm working on getting this blog looking nice, and ready for business!
