Is that you?


Did you know...
A doppelgänger (About this sound pronunciation ) is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation.

I recently watched a HIMYM episode about doppelgängers and I assumed it was a made up expression. Apparently, I was wrong. I'm not sure if I've ever met or seen my look-a-like, but I am sure that there are people out there who are as bizarre as I am! Anyways, people are posting their famous doppelgängers on facebook so I thought I'd share a pic of mine ;) Amy is way cuter than I am though.

Put these thoughts in order

The Opthamologist checked out my eye and said my problem was most likely linked to sinus trouble. So, I'll wait for my blood work results and then close the case of the hurt eye.

In other news, I'm trying to decide whether or not to drop my HR class. I've already miss one class due to health reasons and I'm about to miss another one due to a work commitment. I don't like being a quitter, but I'm not really sure if I can continue doing this if I'm busy with work stuff. Shouldn't my job come first? I do have to complete this certificate program before 2013 though. I guess I could always do a spring class.

I'm hating my upstairs neighbors more and more these days. They make it almost impossible for me to sleep in on the weekends and their stamping drives me CRAZY! Our lease ends on April 1st, so we might move out at that time. I've been looking at condos downtown and they are pretty amazing (and reasonable!). I guess I'll have to see what is available closer April.

Only a couple more weeks until Family Day. God, I love Canada!

Burping lavender!

I love taking it easy on the weekends.
I also love seeing family on the weekends. The only reason I insisted on moving back here was because of my family. I just feel so connected to them (even if I don't see them for weeks on end). I was lucky to be so close to so many people early in my life. I definitely value family because of this.

Things I hate: Reading boring HR books. I really want to finish my HR Management Certificate, but I really am not a school person. What to do...what to do...??

So, I have a medical predicament: My right eye has been hurting for the past 2-3 days and I'm not sure if it's just an ache or if it needs to be checked out. I'm sure people will recommend that I visit a Dr., but I hate waiting in line (i.e. 2-3 hours) to hear "you are fine. just take an Advil." Thoughts?

Cleverbot is my new best friend!

My friend Naomi introduced me to cleverbot and I must say that this program is truly amazing! It's not perfect, but it's definitely on the right track. My latest conversation has included a marriage proposal and life suggestions (including getting a dog to cure depression). I am seriously addicted and encourage everyone to try it. You'll definitely get a laugh out of her answers (yes, the program is a girl!).

In other news...I start school tomorrow night. I'm hoping to complete my HR Management Certificate in 2011. I'm hoping I can sit through a 3 hour course after an 8 hour day.

10...9...8...7...3...2...1?


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's always nice to kiss Myke when the clock strikes 12! We've spent way too many New Years apart over the years :(

New Years meant hanging out with Naomi, Adam, Becky and Tim. We spent the time chatting about family and watched a little "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Family Guy" (which we've decided is overly sexist!).

On January 1st, Myke and I headed to St. Anne's spa for some much needed R&R. It was relaxing and nice to get away for the day. We had so much tea we had to pee every 10 minutes (or so it seemed). If I had a million dollars, I'd visit St. Anne's every week (and Myke would apparently get the hot stone wrap every visit...he loved it!).

All in all, 2010 is looking good. Of course, I am a sucker for even numbers!
