This and That

So I haven't blogged in a while. That's pretty obvious to those of you who read my blog (thanks!). It's been busy around here lately. Mostly with work. How boring is that? It's actually not boring at all, I'm really starting to love my job. I don't know why...there is so much to do and it's insanely stressful but it's also very challenging and I love seeing the results of improvements that I initiated. However, those improvements are still few and far between. But it's coming. Like my mentor from Houston tells me every week... You can't eat an elephant in one bite.

Speaking of elephants, I've had this crazy urge to take Cassidy to the zoo. Actually, I want to go to the zoo but it's a great way to spend the day with her. And it's an awesome excuse to eat hot dogs and ice cream cones. The snow is finally gone and it looks like spring is here. However, it's pouring rain right now. Blah. This weekend my volunteer council is participating in the Bow River Clean-Up. It's an annual event where tons of people divide into groups and each clean the garbage along their designated section of the pathways in Calgary. It's usually a lot of fun and you see some pretty weird things... Also, Calgary is an eye-sore right now. The paths get so dirty over winter.

I think I finally found a church that I enjoy going to! It's St. Giles Presbyterian and I really enjoyed it last week. We found it through my brother in law's parents. Their old minister left St. Albert b/c his wife had some personal problems and now he's going to be preaching here in Calgary. So we went to check it out and I really like it. Yay. It's so hard to get up and go to church on Sunday when you know you're going to be bored during the service. Looks like the search may have come to an end. A belated thanks to Leah for that advice...

Ball season started again. Finally. We had our first double header on Tuesday. It was tons of fun, but I took a beating. Yes, I know you're all saying "how do you take a beating in slow pitch?" it's possible. In this league, the umpires make you stand so close to the plate, it's freaky. And I was filling in for our regular catcher b/c she was late. I got hit in the head twice. TWICE!!! I have 2 huge bumps on my noggin. And then I was on first and got smoked in the shin by a line drive. I like to say that I lost the ball b/c the sun was going down and I couldn't see, but actually I just wasn't paying attention. I'm such a klutz, it's ridiculous. But I hit a triple, so that was cool.

2 hour Grey's Anatomy tonight! I'm excited. I think I'm more excited because my shows are all ending and I will have no more TV obligations. That means that summer is coming.... My favorite girl got booted from America's Next Top Model last night. Too bad for Brittany. I'm cheering for Renee now. She's got an edge. I like that.

So a couple of months ago, I was blog surfing and I found Gina's blog through Leah's and read one of her posts about teachers. It was so infuriating that I had to leave a long-winded comment. Anyways, the author of the original article somehow found her blog and left comments for all the comments on the post. I'm infuriated all over again. I'd leave a link so you all can read it but I don't know how to do that. So you'll have to search just like I did! If you're reading my blog, you're probably procrasinating anyways, so this is just one more thing that you can do before you get back to work!

K, time to go and make dinner for my little cutie pie. G'night all.
