Short Post

Our workout tonight was pretty upper body focused so my arms are a wee bit tired. :P

Class on Tuesday was good. Illustrator will be fun I think. I finished my work early and ended up staying at Shane's because it makes my commute about 20 minutes less.

Wednesday evening my Xerox guy, Gary, was in town, and took myself and a few reps out for dinner. I came home and ended up playing the Sims for a few hours to unwind.

Work is always hectic when Gary's in town - we spend the whole day running around - so I needed the gym to blow off some steam. We could do the following in any order as long as we finished it.

100 pull ups
75 push ups
50 squats
25 dips

My time was 22 minutes and some change. :D Brit and I did 45 sit ups too because we find our abs don't get the same work out as everything else.

I'm making some food now and then taking it easy. So glad it's almost Friday.

I'm Waiting on the Man

By man, I mean, manager. :P I found out on Friday afternoon that my Xerox reps were able to dig up the funds for me to go on the Bahamas cruise that they gave away for their yearly trip! The information was sent off to my manager, and I just need his approval to go ahead and register. I can't see why it wouldn't be okay as I was able to go last year, so I'm pretty excited. :)

Friday, I ended up bailing on the gym (I know, shame on me :P) and went to Peel Pub with Shane and Phil. We had a few pitchers of cheap beer and tasty cheap pasta before parting ways around 10:30. Saturday was a pretty chill day. Shane worked on some of his homework while I did my reading. We headed over to Scott's for a board game night. Vanessa was there, of course, as well as Sam, Janna and Phil. We played 'Betrayal at House on the Hill." I totally got everyone hooked on it. :P

Sunday I was up bright and early to head out to rehearsal. I'm helping out with a production called "Mental Floss." It's going to be an interesting show - I wish I would have been able to audition for it, but unfortunately it goes up the same weekend as my sister's wedding. Oh well, hopefully I'll get in on the next one. :)

Today was a bit of a long day. We had a table top schedule to promote a new deal, so I was running back and forth from my desk to the 2nd floor. Ugh. Seriously, the 1st of the month is the absolutely worst day for a table top. I have so much to do. :S I headed down to the gym, which definitely helped relieve some tension.

It was a short but tough workout. I finished in about 12 and a half minutes. It was 6 rounds of 3 pistols, 6 pull ups and 9 sit ups with a weight on the chest. Afterwards, I did 100 singles and 20 push ups to round out my work out. In all I feel really good, but my legs are going to hurt tomorrow thanks to the pistols. Scott gave me a lift home, and planning on catching up on my Supernatural (oh I love those Wincester boys :P) and possibly playing the Sims.

Wrap it Up

After work last night, I stopped in at the grocery store for stuff to make wraps. I got black olives, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, tomato and chicken. Shane came over and we enjoyed tasty tasty wraps before curling up to watch a movie.

I had the strangest dreams last night. The one that stands out the most is one where I was home but the house was huge. Way bigger than it is in real life, with lots of secret passages and rooms. And my father was played by Jensen Eckles from Supernatural. Except, he was twin. And everyone knew that he was the good twin, and his evil twin had gone off somewhere.

During the dream, the 'evil' twin came back. We were uncovering clues and running around all the hidden areas, only to discover that the evil twin wasn't actually evil! He had actually gone off to chase the evil triplet, whose name was Frank. I learned this shocking fact while facing off against the 'evil' twin when behind him appeared the triplet with a weapon, and I was like 'OMG it's FRANK!!' It was very action adventurey.

I woke up with my heart pounding, and thinking what an interesting movie that would have made. :P

Slow Week

Seriously, the last two weeks have been going so slow! I think it's due to a bit of the winter blahs.

Last night, since I was tired, I opted to skip the gym and went on a date with Shane. :) We went to this bakery we found yesterday in Chinatown and got some giant cupcakes for $1.20 each. I wasn't feeling up to cooking, so we ended up going to Shabu Shabu for chinese fondue. We both ended up getting the beef with the spicy soup. So tasty. :) Afterwards, we went home so Shane could finish his homework, and I geeked out a bit with my Serenity RPG book. :P

Yawn

Wow, it feels like a Monday rather than a Wednesday. Blah! :|

I had a long day yesterday. I made sure I was at work a bit early, and then worked through lunch so I could leave early for my first class. It's a bit of a commute to say the least. I catch the bus at 5 pm at Lionel - Groulx and get to the campus at about 6:10.

I think it will be a good starter class. We're working on new iMacs - mmmm - and I'll be getting an intro to Illustrator, Photoshop and QuarkXPress. Last night was a bit of a waste though. It was a lot of 'this is a Mac,' 'this is how you open applications.' Blah! :P Oh well. I was able to get my student id, and my book for the course. The book actually will be a good thing to have. It includes beginnger info for Dreamweaver, InDesign and a few others as well.

We finished early, and I was able to catch the 8:55 bus. I was back in town by 9:50, and home by 9:30 or so. I couldn't unwind though. I ended up being awake until after 1, so I'm beat this morning. Ugh. I brought my stuff for the gym tonight, but I don't know if I'll be able to muster up the energy to go. :P
