So I am in love. Truly madly deeply….with a fictional vampire named Edward Cullen.

Thanks to Tara for lending me the first book in the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer I found myself totally wrapped up in this story. I read it on Sunday, and finished the last 40 pages this morning before I got out of bed. It takes a lot for a book to suck me in like that (pardon the pun) and prevent me from putting it down. I am eagerly awaiting some cash flow so I can run right out and get New Moon. I don’t know if I can wait. I sense that my new obsession can only be paralleled to the relentless need to watch everything Buffy and Angel once I discovered their tragic love story. I remember ordering VHS tapes from Amazon to satiate my need to know what happened next. This being before I could scour the net to find episodes. I’ve always been like this….weak in the knees for the dark prince, the dashing and tormented leading man, be him a vampire, a bat man, or the illustriously dashing strong and silent Mark Darcy that Jane Austen made so famous! So my heart is a flutter waiting to see what happens next. If you liked Angel and Buffy’s story, then I am confident you will love with Twilight has to offer. I only hope the novels that follow do not disappoint!

And now back to your regularly scheduled Monday.

One thing I try to live by in my life is my gut feeling. Even when something might look good on paper, if you have a bad gut feeling about it I always try to follow it. This comes from recent experience.

I got a full time, well paying job! Actually I got two. The first job was with a large corporate giant, that I’m certain I would becoming just one of the many numbers that work for them. I’m certain they offer an excellent work environment where I can be a lemming until retirement. If I miss a step, it would likely go by unnoticed by the masses, and it would offer job security. The second job is with a smaller company, only 25 years old. They have an excellent reputation in the Maritimes, lots of incentives for fitness and education, a small work environment where my responsibility and accountability will be important and appreciated. The owner of the company will likely know me by name and meet me once a year if not more.

So I took the second job. It felt right so I made that choice. I do not start til September 2nd, so I’ll keep you posted on my guts actual instinct and let you know if it did in fact guide me in the right direction.

On top of that I did work one week with the other company before offering my resignation. I would not have been fully trained by the time I had to leave so we didn’t bother wasting each others time.

Our Yard Sale is finally a go for tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be nice and warm, lots of sun. I know the Dragon boat festival is going on in Renforth, I’m actually hoping that brings more folks out into the Valley. We’ll see. If we don’t have a good turn out, I am tempted to hit Rhodas for a few weeks and see what I can get rid of there before giving the rest to community living. There are a few clothing items I may post on Kijiji, as I know how well decent plus size clothing sells.

Something happened today that made my day….

I’m sure most would find it quite silly however a few years ago my late friend Rob Loder gave me a native choker he got from a vendor in Aroostook. I used to wear it when I played a Character named Dianas Vengence in the Old World of Darkness. I had thought I had lost it, or it had been ruined in the flood we had in our basement and it was lost forever. Today I found it… for a few brief moments I felt my friend near again. Just oddly gave me a sense of closure finding it. It was one of the few things he ever gave me and I just wanted to know where it had been. Miss him more and more as time goes on. But it was a happy thing, finding that choker. It made my day.

With these ramblings coming to a close I have to go to Mel’s house and prepare for her Birthday/Housewarming tonight. Not even sure who is showing up, just know we have enough food to feed an army! Good times.

p.s.. I’m down 3 pounds!

Just taking a minute to write. Killing some time before work. This commute thing is for the birds. I may try to take the bus next week just to try it out. We’ll see. Started the new job yesterday. It was pretty standard first day stuff, today will be more of the same. Get into the grit tomorrow. I keep sitting there waiting for my phone to ring… but because I am waiting it won’t. We’ll see what today brings. I am hopeful. If it all happens the way I want it to, you’ll get the full scoop. Either way, I am super happy to be working, to soon have somewhat of an income and be able to pay some much overdue debts!

With that being said there are a few things that need done as well once I have some cash that I will take care of as soon as I have enough to do it. Just an over all relief.

Having a yard sale this Saturday. 9 til 2. If you wanna come and need the address just send me a comment or an email at squigzella@gmail.com.

That’s all for now,

Friday night I stayed in, I planned on going to bed earlyish, ended up playing WoW til the wee hours. That being said I did get on the new Guild’s vent server and it was really nice to chat with some of them. They really sound like a great bunch of people.

We attempted to do the Deadmines, but it was late when we got started so we just played until we died. Either way it was fun.

Saturday was Jenn and Woody’s wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony. Her dress was sexy and the boys with their top hats and canes was just too kewl!!

The reception was at the Quispamsis Civic Centre and it was hot as hell! I thought for certain we all sweat off an easy 10 pounds of water. Craziness! It was a good time, the food was awesome, as was the company at our table. We actually had Rev Mercer sitting with us, as well as Adrian and his brother Dave…. what a comedic duo. We had lots of laughs. It was nice….

Here is a quote I am certain I will be told I am misquoting, but what I said WAS the funny part!

Chris: You’d think God would want this church to have air conditioning.

Me: Nah, he wants us to sweat like Jesus did.

I’ll leave ya with that.
