Pro-crast-i-nation <—- It’s a place, not a state of being.

I have opened live writer a few times over the past week to do an update but I kept closing it. I have spent much of the time actually writing some fiction. Just didn’t feel like writing about real life I guess. So since I last updated we went to see the Buskers on the Boardwalk. Chris took alot of pics and has them posted for your viewing pleasure. It was a nice day, the rain held off and we had a great time! The week that followed was filled with job interviews. It is funny how there is this dead silence for weeks, or at least that’s how it felt, and boom call after call after call.
I went out for my interviews and hoped I had finally landed myself a job. Ironically I did, however the dream job called and wants me to go for a second interview. For a few days I was all "What to do? What to do?" then I decided I would take the offer I was made, but still meet with the GM for the dream job….but the more I think of this I wonder if I want the temptation of changing my mind. I do wonder if the money is competitive to the offer I am going to accept, I wonder if it would be worth NOT working uptown and having to drive west every day. So I’m still in debate with myself on if I should call the other company and tell them something else came along… Thoughts anyone?
So outside of that happy news (that I will be starting work on August 11th!) I reconnected with a very old friend. Norman was a good friend I had met though what was once called the Quispamsis Teen Committee. We were a committee comprised of local teens in place to keep the teens off the street and active in community centres and various other events throughout the valley. Anyhow we met there and remained close friends for a few years. He even took me to my Jr. Prom in the ugliest dress I had ever seen! I believe my mother also told me that night that I walked like and Ox in heels. Love ya Mom! Anyhow we managed to find each other on Facebook and have been talking since. It has been easily 10 years since we spoke and it’s very nice to just pick up where we left off. Very rare you can do that with someone. It’s a simple pleasure.
This past week Jared was up for a few days, we went to see Hellboy II which was visually stunning. The sub plot was a bit cheesy but overall it was an enjoyable flick. Thanks again Jared for takin this broad on a date! We also went to the Boardwalk on Wednesday night to check out Kassy Eatmon a friend of Dale’s from Sobey’s. She is performing in SJ Idol. She has made it through to another week and will be performing again tomorrow night. Unsure if a group is going to check it out or not. The weekend quickly approached. Friday night Barry, Gerry, Chris, Mel, Kyle, Robert, Tara and I all went to O’Leary’s and checked out Signal Hill. I go see them in Hali every chance I get an this was their first visit to the port city. They had a great turn out and put on excellent sets. I also enjoyed having drinks with my cousin and his girlfriend. Good times!
Sunday we went to see The Dark Knight. Again, great movie. NOT WORTH THE OSCAR HYPE! Heath Ledger was awesome as the Joker. Awesome enough to join the ranks of Kevin Spacey for Usual Suspects, Robin Williams for Good Will Hunting or even Christopher Walken for Deer Hunter? I am not so convinced. But we’ll see what happens come Oscar time. Personally I this is performance in Brokeback Mountain was much more worthy than his turn as the Joker. Lynch me if you will, just my opinion.
That brings us to this week. Prepping for the Yard Sale on August 16th, going to do some baking, have coffee with a few friends.
Lastly, last night I made Mayan Hot Chocolate. I had found a few recipes on the net for it and then took the best of what I found and added some of my own touches. Well…I think I’m onto something here. It was so rich and no other word but divine that I must get the chance to make this sampling for friends sooner than later! It was just plain awesome. It is said to help digestive functions, and heat up the libido! Anyhow, I plan on making some for friends sometime soon. If you are interested let me know, and we’ll do it when a group of us are together.
So for now, I’m done with the update. As soon as I get the proper cable for find a card reader I’ll have some new pics to post.
X’s and O’s

I’m not going to forget all that I have lost. Fresh start in my mind would be if I gained tremendously and wanted to start over… there is no starting over, I’ve lost over 40 pounds and that counts!
