fifth business

Yesterday I did an interview in Lunenburg for a company I really want to work for. There are those places that you apply to because they are hiring and then there are the places you spam to death hoping they dont get sick of your letterhead. This would be the latter. They are a ’small’ company, local, creative, and I would probably give my left leg to work for them… but it would then be hard to use their in house gym. Im sure we could work something out.

On the way there I got lost twice. And on the way out I got lost twice and then almost died because I ran a stop sign I didnt even see. Effing lame ass intersections nearly killing me.  Driving stick was so not a good plan.

My friend Kate hooked me up with the UGLIEST knitting basket on the face of the planet. It is so awesome I love it so much. It has a sort of 70’s floral pattern on it. Pictures to come later. When I dye my hair again.

Off to teach greg to make quiche

As promised I have a post full of picturey goodness.

I honestly cant remember when this photo was taken but I am pretty sure it was before
they made me talk about my art work. As you can tell I am giddy and repleat with awesome
in this photo. So it must be prior to the explosion.

Awesome parties are nothing with out awesome friends. This is Stephanie. For some nut
job reason she thinks I am awesome, and I think she is awesome. Therefor we won.

Meet Joan. Joan and Greg both like the same painting. They are going to arm wrestle for it later.

This is the painting. Its obviously arm wrestling material

In this photo you can see the lovely flowers my mommy and dad brought me. Arent they pretty? Yes they are.

The End

Everyday I think about writing in my blog, and every day I put it off just a little more.

Last week was my art show which went very well, until they made me talk about my art work. Amanda + people + Microphone = BAD(!!!) Anyways after that catastrophe was done with I got to hang out with my very awesome friends, listen to some very awesome music, talk to some interesting new people and chill the hell out. Afterwards Greg took me out for yummy sushi.

Two weeks ago my new friend Mida (HIII MIDA!) showed me how to crochet. This becomes important in a moment. Yesterday I was called in to do some work for Fashionably Dead. 5 hours of sitting around helping people try on clothes or find items. Groovy. C’ept on sundays its pretty dead (harhar, you should all go on sundays). Then today I was called in to be an extra in a movie that is being filmed in Halifax, another 12 hours of sitting. So I took my crocheting with me. I now have: 1 penguin, 1 panda, 1 owl, and 1 ninja. I am made of awesome. I have a second panda started, and a robot on the mind for a certain button. I also showed Britta how to knit today which she enjoyed. Her scarf ended up looking like it had survived a neuclear holocost though which was kind of funny.

Now if only I can find enough time to get my eyebrows waxed before my job interview, and to get my shit together for the OCMS I am set.

Images to come soon

I am working on yet another website layout. I am procrastinating like you would not believe. I really dislike building websites, or rather I dont enjoy setting them up for the first few hours. After that I am fine but the initial building of the tables and making sure all the content is in the right place drives me nuts until I remember what each abbreviated code stands for and I can actually remember what it says.

In brighter news ad old friend emailed me last night to do some emergency work. Will post images after it’s been approved.

Did you know that when you write something in yellow text with a black outline and put it on top of an orange heart that has a bright blue square on it, your eyes burn?

really i had no idea. how did you figure this life saving tip out?

Sunday was movie day. Beaky and I went to see Twilight which has to be the worlds worst movie, with the worst acting ever. The plot line was so truncated that anyone who has never been to public school might not understand the complexities of high school [end sarcasm]. And the thing that gives them away as vampires? LAME Greg took me out to see Bolt which was hilarious and cute. It made up for the first movie of the day.

My hours at work have officialy been cut. Im not sure I can count on hours after the next few weeks. Something about this arrangement just doesnt sit right with me. I am hoping that I am dead wrong but I always come prepared in these cases.

Today I am schmoozing, handing out a few resumes, and updating my website/reformatting my craptop. And Perhaps I will make brocolli soup.

If any one knows of a part time job coming open let me know… G, I might be staring you down right now.

It has been forever since Ive sat down and written. The Hotel finally forked my money over, after a week of me complaining.

Friday Evening I took Greg out for dinner at Chives, our favourite fine dining. Super was amazingly good.

Becky and I went out shopping on saturday and I got a sexy new hair cut for 15$. A salon was doing a “Cut for the Cure” breastcancer fund raiser. So i ’splurged’ and got a hair cut. Becky also humoured me and tried on clothes too. I bought 3 sweaters, 1 shirt, a blowdrier, and a pan, and 2 pairs of leg warmers. One for me and one for B.

I know I didnt do a photo post of this weeks groceries but before I got to take a picture I was already baking. So I will do a list:
