My friend Robyn here at work signed herself up for the DQ Blizzard Fan Club. Yes, they have a fan club. It's about as super lame as it sounds. But she loves blizzards very much, and you get free stuff when you sign up. So now she has two buy one get one free coupons to use before July 28. For 16 oz blizzards. This means we have 64 oz of blizzard between the two of us to eat before Monday.
Barf. I should start skipping lunch.
I am in Ottawa now. I had some teeth work done yesterday and my mouth feels very foreign to me. You run your tongue over the same teeth every day for about 20 years and all of a sudden there's new stuff in there. I feel like I've got someone else's teeth in my mouth. It's very weird.
Last night my sister introduced me to the symphony orchestra in the park (Lebreton Flats). We ran into Sara's mom and Chris Demerse and his wife. I can't believe how many people were there. I think it's a great idea though. The night was really nice too. A good hour and a half (plus encore) of free opera.
I have a new coworker who talks like she is on speed and lots of other drugs. She ambushed Steve and he came to my office all bug-eyed and said he hadn't had coffee yet and it was too early for that kind of introduction.
She could be very useful if she is on speed.
I had a very elaborate dream last night in which Ryan Gosling was my boyfriend. It was very movie-like, complete with score and everything. It had a rather tragic but poignant ending that made me wake up feeling very sad. It would make an excellent drama and I think it could be an Oscar contender, possibly for best picture and/or best actor (Ryan Gosling). It was also beautifully shot and directed. Maybe I will take it to some of my colleagues who work on the film production side of our business. I'm told he gives his plot outlines to a script-flesher-outer who can write it all up properly.
I'm taking the new car to Ottawa Thursday morning. Want to do something this weekend?
Simon says quantity over quality, right?
WORK IS BUSY
I don't deal well with stress. And it's only just begun.
My boss gives me blank cheques so I can pay myself.
I ate a dilly bar today.
Frank's got a sweet internship. Bring home the bacon bits, man!
Bacon is the most delicious of all meats.
Hurray for Sara caving to peer pressure!
Karen gimme a call when you're in town this weekend eh? Got my cell number?
I went to another wedding this weekend. Well, more of an after party. Phil and Hollie "eloped" in May and got married in Malta.
They brought back a video of their ceremony (which was unintentionally hilarious - Phil managed to work in the phrase "well, not in a stalker kind of way" into his vows) and invited friends and family to a community centre in Mississauga. I can tell you there were no pyrotechnics, that's for sure. A much more informal but more personal kind of gathering. And surprisingly, the food was way better than the fancy pants wedding two weeks ago.
Another wedding in September. I guess I'm just at that age now. Demetrius and Nikki (who are getting married next year they say) were grilling me about my wedding. Leave me alone!
