Clutz

So i was walking to dinner last night and tripped over a tree stump. One of my hands was in my pocket, so my right arm got all the force of me hitting the ground. Needless to say that Paula and I never made it to dinner. Instead, we spent the evening in the hospital emergency room. Though I did not break my arm, the doctor feels that I must have fractured my elbow. So for my beautiful week in Thailand, my pictures will include my arm in a full (shoulder down) arm cast. Woohoo! When I hurt myself I do it right! Oh well... it will be just another story to tell the grandkids... lol!
I am getting the hang of using only my left hand, but my writing resembles more of a scribble than anything.
2 days til Thailand! 33 til Canada!
Happy New Year!
Cheers!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I can't believe that christmas is only a few days away! Though the snow is starting to melt, at least this year it will somewhat resemble a christmas that I am used to. Tonight we are going to go out for Kalbi for a work christmas dinner... then on Sunday Paula and I are going to have dinner with Shelley and Peter. Overall though, this christmas is going to be pretty quiet. I am trying to get over the flu as fast as I can, since I really don't want to be sick in Thailand.
Speaking of which, I have 10 days left until I leave. Since I am going to leave on the 1st of Jan, and the busses to the airport will be running on a holiday schedule, I decided to cough up the cash and spend New Years Eve in the airport hotel. The cost was pretty reasonable, and if it will afford me piece of mind... it is worth it.
Anyhoo.... Happy Holidays!
Cheers!

FINALLY.... some good news!

Yesterday I sent an email to the program director of the Early Childhood Education (accelerated)at Seneca, asking when I would find out about my application status for the program. As I am currently overseas, there are some things that I would need to arrange and secure, should I gain acceptance into the program.
I arrived at work this morning with a prompt reply stating: "You have met the admissions requirements for the ECYA Program; however we have not send out offers of admissions as yet. You will be getting your package by January 2007."
YAY!!!! So come May 2007, I will be back to studying. I am pretty elated right now... everything just seems to be falling into place... securing a plane ride back to Canada for February 1, 07... and then being able to return to school for a career path that I am looking forward to and know that I would kick ass in! I know that I would be a kick ass childcare provider!!!!! :)
Things at work are pretty quiet right now... meaning a lot less stressful. I think that once my notice was handed in... a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders... and though I still have craptapulous days... it all seems worth it when you realize you only have 53 more days of this to go! That and I seem to have less stress going on... because I am letting a lot more of everything roll off my back.
23 days til Thailand... 53 til Canada!
Cheers!

I've been converted

I am now the proud owner (or will be when it is delivered) of a brand new Mac.... I have been converted. The price was reasonable... and I can put the Microsoft Office programs on it... so I have been converted to the Mac way of life. I only bought the White 13inch Macbook.... tiny I know,,, but it will have 2 GH and 120 HD.... I am pretty excited. The computer also has an inbuilt webcam, Ilife 06, Intel Core Duo, Front Row (where you can talk to several people at once), and a remote. Did I mention that I am really excited!
30 days til Thailand and 60 til Canada.
Cheers!
