Oh The Fun We'll Have!
I fear that I will become one of the world's worst bloggers when I am in canadia more full time. I get so distracted by mundane day-to-day things when I am up at the bf's. Meals to cook, places to go, things to clean, and sleeping in to be done.
Anyway, I am back in the Ol' U. S. of A. I got back earlier today. I am going to go meet the person I am living with for the next two months in about 15 minutes. I am a little nervous. Some late-twenties computer consultant with an extra room in his condo. For those of you who remember, the last time I ended up living with a guy I didn't know it was fine. I called him "bunny-man" because he had one room in his condo just for his three rabbits.
This guy has a girlfriend so at least I am pretty sure he won't be icky. The condo isn't in the best neighborhood ever but it could be worse. We'll see....
The trip was faboo! I saw "A History of Violence" in the theater. It was actually pretty good (I thought). It had gaping holes in the storyline but if you can get past that problem, it is fairly decent. There are a few visually shocking scenes.
I went to a CFL game. That was really fun! I think I definitely prefer the three downs format. Makes for a bit more excitement. I think they need to move the goal posts but that is neither here nor there. Not me that is going to run into them. The different format completely changes the game. Great fun!
Went to a BBQ. Went out to eat at restaurants. Went bowling (and got a score of 100 or better for each of the three games). Played a board game and got my ass kicked.
Tried my hand at baking cookies from a family recipe - the bf's family... They turned out okay. Need to smash them down next time. Tried a few "healthy" recipes from the web. Overall - bland but decent. Definitely a work-able start for some good alterations/additions.
Had some interesting conversations with the bf. He has threatened to write a blog about it. We'll see. I am not going to get into it. In short: Women really are from a different planet than men.
I'm not so happy to be back in the states but I'm holding strong with the plan that I will get to set a defense date for sometime in the next month. An all-together frightening and exhilarating thought!

It should be an exhilarating thought. It is almost over. You have spent your whole life getting to this moment. Do not lose sight of your goal; therein lies a life full of making bland and healthy dinners and shtty cookies from the family recipe box. Can you imagine that? Just close your eyes and imagine it. Thenwake up screaming! With the degree, they can probably be touted as "Dr Amy's Health Cookies" and you can do a fabulous mail order business. I know I would enjoy medicinal brownies and I bet that is a whole large market that you didn't even consider. What a corporate gift that just makes the 'team' feel good. I' getting excited about your entreprenuerial spirit just thinking about it.

Oh.... wow! The looming defence. How wonderful and amazing for you. When I was prepping for my defence the best advice I received was to remember that the job was basically done, and to work on taking care of myself.
So... yeah.
And if you are going to move to Canada, I am sure that we will be very much the better for it.
