Here we go...

Well I said I'd recap my trip to the T-Dot for you, so here we go!

Let's back it up for a bit, shall we? I surprised almost everyone I know in Ontario when I showed up for Easter, but I knew for about a month before hand that I'd be going. How much do I rock for keeping it a secret!?

So I flew in Tuesday the 11th and picked up my car rental (a PT Cruiser. Not too bad, lots of power, but reminded me of a squished mini-van or a '20s mob car). I made it home in record time from the airport ('bout an hour door to door) and freaked out my family (yes dad, I got fired that's why I'm home).

Getting up the next day was sooo hard! (felt like 4am BC time, ouch!) Went to the Markham office for the day, got to chat with some people I work with (nice to have the face time) and left around 4 so I didn't fall asleep on the drive home. Did the same thing on Thursday, but stopped by Markville to meet up with Lesley for a little shopping. Didn't buy anything, but played fashion consultant for Lesley.

Good Friday was fun but tiring. Long day with too much family; I'm used to the quietness of my apartment and the lack of family in BC now.



Saturday I went to the P-dot. Ahh the P-dot, how I miss you at times! Let's see, I had old friends, a new friend, Charlotte Anne's for dinner (I'd fly back for their food alone!), McDonald's hot fudge sundaes, a sleepover, Smitty's for breakfast, surprising an old friend and shopping!



I've been looking for a Timbuk2 bag in Vancouver, but never seemed to find one I liked (right colour and size). Funny how I managed to find a nice one in the P-Dot (go Wild Rock!!). So with only a second thought about the colours (there was one that was black/blue/black) this one was bought and was set to come home with me. Yay!!

Sunday night was dinner out for the family April birthdays. Here's where the week starts its' decent downhill. I'll spare you the gory details, but my driving was criticized yet again and I finally had enough. I got mad and over the next 2 days barely saw and talked to my family. They didn't really even say goodbye to me. Thanks guys.

Monday and Tuesday I had full day training, which was really good. I learned a lot actually; let's hope I can use it at my own office. Monday night I went to Lisa's after work because she wasn't at good friday. It was great to see her and we got to catch up, look at the wedding photos and just chill out. I miss that. It's hard sometimes being away and missing those little things. Ah well, I guess it makes me appreciate them even more when they do happen now.

Tuesday after training I went to Yorkdale so I could get my keyboard swapped out on my laptop (the numbers/letters are rubbing off and it's under warranty so why not?). Traffic was a bitch, the 2 keyboards they had for my laptop were french canadian and Phil left early that day so I didn't get to see him. Complete waste of a trip. And to top it all off I started getting sick that day.

So to make a long story short, work was good, and the rest was hit and miss and I was very happy when we touched down in Vancouver.

Welcome home to me.
