Starting again??

My last post was Oct 29, 2006. It is now May 26, 2010. Ohmygoodness! How is it that I got so used to writing blog posts that I got sick of it? I LOVED my blog...I kind of feel like I have just missed 3.5 years of externally shared journal writing. Ok..I'm going to give this a go again and hopefully not be as slack as I used to be.

I'm away for work this week. I'm in a teensy tiny little town in Cape Breton, and I am not really enjoying it. I have been here for two days and I already feel a migraine coming on. I actually think I'm going to have to scoot next door to the convenience store to get an advil or something. I am going to be so drained by the time I get home on Friday...it's not like this job is bad, or the people are bad, or the office is bad...it's just all together not for me. It's funny because its the same job I do everyday, nothing has changed...I just don't like it here. Actually, I think this is somewhat telling. I have been feeling very under-utilized (is that a hyphenated word?) at my job lately, but I LOVE the people who I work with. I guess it makes sense that when I am no longer with those fantastic people, I wouldn't enjoy the job as much.

Also...fun note: when I get home I will be having a phone date! With my good buddy, Dot! She is, of course, one of the major commentators of my blog 3 years ago, so I believe she deserves a shout out on the revival of 'spinning in circles until your dizzy'. I think you make friends in different stages of your life that you know will be there forever. I met Dot in my first year of University. You know, the funny thing was when we started chatting and hanging out I kind of felt like we didn't have much in common (only at the very beginning!) because she was into sports and basketball and stuff, and I was soooo not but in the years since, she has been one of those people who has always kind of gotten me. We don't talk much because time, life and distance has seriously taken a toll, however when I do speak or see her, it is like no time has passed. She is one of the people who will be there. Do you watch "How I Met Your Mother"? Well...I love that show and there is a storyline were they judge people based on the 'front porch test'; can you see yourself sitting on the front porch with this person in 50 years? I can see myself sitting with Dot...checking out the hotties with the bodies!

Ok...it's time to wrap up this love-fest. I should go get some headache meds and try to get it under control!

lots of love!
