I think it is intersting the dynamic that I have created for myself at work. I am in the kitchen, which is all guys. Mostly I love this fact. But last night after our staff meeting when they all made plans to go to the strippers I felt really alone, and missed like hell working with my girls in Cold Lake at the Harbour house more than I can explain.
I am adicted to facebook and find it absolutely creepy/ hilarious that you can come into contact with people you haven't seen in years.
The weather in Ottawa has gone absolutely bazerk and I never know what to wear anymore! Most days I dress up as an Eskimo.
I have to choose some new salads for our spring menu, any ideas anyone?
Something else I have been thinking about a lot lately. Relationships, and how quickly the dynamic of one can change. Why is it that at the beginning things are so casual. It is so easy to be easygoing, carefree, dependless. Then suddenly you get attached and the littliest things turn into a big deal. How can one keep the carefree approach they did at the beginning? Or is that just the natural progression that relationships take? The more you care the more emotions you can provoke? I dunno.
Anywho, wow its been a coons-age since I last blogeed. Yes, I typed coons-age!

I feel like I am cheating on my corner store. There is this cute old man who works there 24 hours a day; who I try to support as much as possible. I made Craig Fajitas for dinner tonight and went there for tortillas. They didn't have any, so I purchased the sour cream there and guiltily walked over to the much bigger and better corner store down the street. I didn't even feel good eating them, I felt bad. I should have just eaten the sour cream and a rolo.

Here is the situation. I am perplexed. I can't decide what is best for me. I can't decide what to do. I feel like i am torn between 2 guys, and they are forcing me to choose. In this situation however the guys are not in fact guys, they are jobs.
I was offered a full time position at my part time job yesterday. The reasons I would want this job is that the hours are daytime hours, the pay is better, the chef is more experienced and its closer to my house.
The reasons I may not take it.
I have committed to my other job, where I work 6 days a week, they really need me, I am also given a great deal of responisibilty there and may be in the cards for a management postion. I am good friends with the entire staff, and I like the rush of the restaurant.
SO do you I go where the money and experience are. Or do I go where the comofort, responsibility and committment are?
I don't know what to do.

The Other day I was walking down the street with one of my friends in Ottawa. As they said something, I started to sing " Cars Cost Less In Wetaskiwin"
What?? He replied.... I wasBaffled, I said, you know... the commercial " Cars Cost Less In Wetaskiwin"?!!!!
Umm I have no idea what you are talking about he replied.
I then realized, I was not in Alberta and there is no way he would know this. Everyone back home knows this.
At work everytime one of us gets stressed or feeling the pressure now we simply say " Cheer up. Because Cars Cost Less In Wetaskiwin" One of the guys said its unfair that I now have this trump card, I can pull out to make them smile whenever I want.
ps. this pic is super old and I am a traitor for wearing a flames shirt, but I just got new bangs and they look kinda similar to the ones I had in this pic, but better/ I am excited about them and hope to get a picture soon!

A few pictures that remind me of the year past and give me hope for the future
I am lying here in bed at 2 am trying to find the words to post about 2006. I can't find them. At the moment I am finding it hard to organize my thoughts, let alone figure out how to explain them to others. It was a very influential year for me. I met some amazing new people.
Things lately have been extremely fast paced and overwhelming and I am lying here tonight thinking about the things in my life that I have been missing in the past month. I am questioning past decisions, missing people I never get to see and trying to figure out what I am hoping for in 2007.
I have realized a few things to.
I have realized that things actually do happen when you least expect them to, and that you cannot plan how they will work out, they never work out the way you expect them to.
I have learned that no-one can tell you how you are supposed to feel. That if you worry too much about how others want you to feel and how you think you are supposed to feel, you will never feel the right things.
I have learned that things change far too quick and that you should always hold on to the moments you have and fully appreciate them while they are there.
If I have any advice to offer through the new year, it would be to surround yourself with people who make you feel like you are the best you can be. Don't waste your time with those who cannot see the best in you. Love those who make you love who you are when you are around them. Never make too many plans, because life has other plans for you.

SO I am alive, and just realized that my blogging has hit an all time low.
Anywho, Christmas is now come and gone, and I am back into the work week.
My brother and his wife were here visiting, as well as my parents, and we had a blast making cookies, sushi and bowling.
My bowling skills are lacking and I have determined that I no longer have the right to brag about bowling like a trucker whatsoever..
Rev, I got your package in the mail yesterday, and I am SOOOOO regretful to say that the Hot sauce didn't make it here in one piece and I was SOOO sad. But so grateful for the letter and the cd. Thank you so much.
I am in a pretty awesome mood right now, because I thought I worked this morning and I don't!! Its like waking up for school on a snow day. Remember snow days? I miss watching the weather channel in the good ol days praying for a minus 40 degree wind chill so I wouldn't have to go to school.
Things I missed about Cold Lake this Christmas
My friends
Snow
Going to the "Show"
The Camels toe ;)
Harbour House gossip sessions
Driving a car
I got some interesting gifts this Christmas including a Nutcracker dressed up as a chef.
I am also extremely excited about my new cutting board and rolling pin. I normally use the saran wrap roll, which I think was a little too gheto for my brother Darren to witness.
