The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Stella

Ok, so...some of you may have heard by now that Stella and I were involved in a little accident last weekend. A hit & run, actually. Basically, I was rear-ended by a 1500 pickup, which pushed Stella into the Honda CR-V in front of us. Then the pickup backed up to make it look like he hadn't hit me, then took off! Thank goodness for good samaritans at the Starbucks on the corner that got his license plate!!

So the good news is that the worst scratch on Stella from when she was keyed a few weeks back will be gone when her hood is replaced. The bad news is that we're a little banged up, but going to the Dr's to get fixed. And the ugly is Stella right now....

Um, yeah it is called sub sauce!

So tonight after work Dan and I decide to go to Subway because we have some coupons and let's face it, who doesn't love a good coupon now and then!? So, of course I order my usual veggie sub, and we get to the part where I need to choose my sauce. So I ask for "sub sauce" which of course clearly means "southwest". Um, no. So I point that out, and the "sandwich artist" asks "do you want me to make you a new one?". Um, yes. So, we start again. And then we get to the sauce part and I point out what one I want. So she tells me it's called "italian". Yeah ok, fine. Maybe it is. But if you weren't sure what I wanted, then you should have asked me which sauce I was asking for.

P.S. From Ontario straight through to BC, it's been called "sub sauce" at every Subway I've been to, so there!

I'm trying!

Ok Lurs, I read your blog and I'm trying to update more. Sadly my days of the work week are pretty much the same, so there's not much to post. I go to work for about 8 hours, then I either come home or go to Dan's. If it's Tuesday or Wednesday I usually watch American Idol. Oh yeah and Thursday night is Apprentice night at our house! Pretty boring I'd say!

Oh yeah there is the search for a part-time job I have going on now. I've been applying to some jobs like Jacob Connexion, IKEA and The Superstore. I know that working too much will probably make me very cranky but it's kinda neccesary to pay off the moving debt. Silly me for spontaneously deciding to move across the country. All I can say is, it was well worth it. And everyone should come join us here. If you haven't personally been given my recruitment speech already, consider this it!

Who doesn't love amazing views, the ocean 30 minutes away and kick ass weather!?!

I miss my dog...

What a week!

It's funny how a week can go by so slow and fast all at the same time! Every day at work is so boring and the hours drag by. But somehow it's already Thursday. Yay for that! I'm 12 days away from being a permanent full-time employee. Woo hoo!!

Been spending more time with the boy. Still going well. Buf of course I'm taking things slow. I have some trust issues leftover from Ontario. I'm working on it, but it's hard. It's like I'm expecting something bad to happen anytime now. That's going to change because I know I shouldn't be dooming things...

We've been here for 4 months now and I still can't believe I'm here! I see the mountains on the way home from work and I'm amazed. Of course I miss everyone back home, but I have to say, I really love it here. I'm happy.
