This morning, I overslept (while dreaming about missing the bus), and slipped on the ice in the parking lot on my way to work. I managed to fall on my butt and my knees somehow (without spilling any coffee, heheh); I'm still not sure how I pulled that off! So I was a little grouchy to begin with, but to top it all off, a taxi driver in the parking lot watched the whole thing.
Oh well, if you can't laugh at yourself, other people will anyway, right!
I have a strong feeling that Roll up the rim is a conspiracy hahah...but I'm still a sucker for it because I'm going to win that car! :)
Lately, I've been thinking of writing more seriously (as in, making a point to write, not writing about only serious things:P), not because other people have commented on my writing, because a few friends have mentioned wanting to do this themselves. As someone who enjoys writing, I fully support these friends, and if I had lots of money, I'd invest in their work, however that works:) Alas, that's not my lot in life at the moment, and it's probably better that way!
Anyway, the thought of actually writing a book or even a handful of poems or short stories fills me with something akin to terror, so this might not be on the immediate horizon. Besides that, I have a pretty evident addiction to putting little happy faces at the ends of sentences, which is basically a bad habit I've developed. What can I say, I'm a visual person, and that's how I get around the starkness of type. Maybe one of these days, I'll get around to posting something that I've written, if I ever finish one of my projects!
Don't you working people wish we could get a March break too? (Or spring break, for you out west.) Some friends of mine who are in med school and teacher's college get a March break as well as reading break- must be nice:)
This weekend, my sister is going to Montreal to visit our friend/former roommate Leyla (you may remember her from my first post) who has gotten married to a French man. I have yet to meet this fellow but he must be a gooder if he landed Leyla:) It's a little sad when someone close to you gets married, in my opinion, because you experience a loss of friendship to an extent. At least I'm confident she has a good head on her shoulders and didn't marry someone strange, as far as we know, heheh. Liz is going with Jenny, our other former roommate, and I'm a little jealous, but it will be good for the three of them, they are close and they need this reunion.
I'm hoping to take a trip there myself in April maybe, to visit my friends Diana, Paola and Daniel who were in London before, and Leyla too. We shall see.
What are everyone's weekend plans? I get paid tomorrow, and I think I'll have to bite the bullet and use that money for glasses, once I get my eyes checked. I'm going to go see «Les Ch'tis» on Saturday with my friend Shona- I saw it on the plane coming back from Paris so it might be nostalgic but it's pretty funny. Other than that, our soccer team has to sit out this week, which is a downer, but I'll probably climb some stairs with my team for the CN Tower. Woo hoo!
If I can get over my disappointment at the snow and cold being back, I may take some photos to post. This blog needs some pictures.
Have a great day, my friends!
Well

You know, I think Roll Up THe Rim was the best campaign a store has ever put out. Way to dream big - I play for the hopes i'll win a free donut. Mmmm.... donuts.... :)
Hey chicky
I'm getting frustrated with this whole roll up the rim business too! I did win a free donut but I'm not stopping there, I'll keep trying!! :)
Sorry you had a rough start to your day! Hopefully it's better now!
lol I totally agree on the smiley face habit... It's a habit that annoying but hard to break! And there's also the lol habit... I guess it's this cyberworld generation rubbing off on us.
But you do write very well, btw! (Oops another bad habit, acronyms!)
*grins*
