I'm Happy...

I’m happy The Boy has completed all of his college applications. Now the wait begins to see whether or not he gets accepted into his program of choice – Film Production.

I’m happy that with the college applications looming, The Boy has finally applied himself and is actually achieving good grades. I guess all he needed was some motivation and apparently the idea of getting out of my house is all the motivation he needed.

I’m happy I’m having dinner with an old co-worker tomorrow night. She really is as old as the hills…older than dirt actually…LOL!

I’m happy that after dinner tomorrow night, I’m going to see Blue Rodeo in concert. For those of my National friends, Blue Rodeo is an iconic Canadian band that isn’t actually half bad.

I’m happy I’m 75% done my Christmas shopping. I’d be happier if I was completely done and the damn gifts were wrapped.

And, the obvious one – I’m happy it’s Friday! Have a great weekend everyone...

I love Blue Rodeo, seen there several times. Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned.

I too am waiting to see some developments with my kids. One has received a new job offer and the other is searching for a co-op for his college program.

Fingers crossed.

@Respectfully Yours - My fingers are crossed for your kids. It's really hard for kids to get into the workplace, which is now super competitive because of so much unemployment.

I'm happy I'm spending part of the weekend visiting a friend in Luxemburg!

I'm happy I saw a really funny play this evening. A kind of interactive monologue where the actress was a school teacher and we were her (primary school) class. Hilarious!

have fun in the concert!

:o)

I know that feeling. My teenager sometimes is the same. I hope your Boy does well in life and I hope he gets into the course he chose. Best of luck to you both.

I haven't wrapped my presents either. I'm using newspaper this year because (a) its more environmentally conscious in my head and (b) I'm a cheap ass.

I saw Blue Rodeo at the Commodore Ball Room in Vancouver (a great place with a bouncy dance floor)a loooong time ago. They were so good live, I couldn't listen to their recorded music for ages afterwards. I was so close to Jim Cuddy I could almost see his tonsils when he sang! He was real cute back then, too.

I can't believe that story about the George Lucas boss. I would have walked out, too. I know it!

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
