I'm Still Here!

I haven’t blogged in a long time and until now I just re-read my last one and it was terrible.  So let’s try this again…

The other week I had a meeting at RIM, which is the coolest building ever! It wasn’t a job interview, it was just a meeting.  So, as I waited for someone to come and meet me (you can’t just walk in that place)  I instinctively pulled out my Blackberry and filled the time with browsing the interweb and BBMing. Then it dawned on me and I realized….they’re probably reading everything I’m writing….Paranoid I turned my phone off immediately, and sat there the rest of the time fidgeting uncomfortably, so badly the security guard probably thought I had ADHD.  I’m pretty sure if someone had tin foil, I would have made a tin foil hat so that they couldn’t read my thoughts. God knows what those tech guys are inventing now an days (in the end the meeting went great)

 Another event that happened was last weekend I asked my friend if she wanted to go on a hike in Musquodoboit. She said yes, and excited about my second hike ever, I packed a small lunch, camera, and put on my new hiking shoes (“new” because I don’t exercise and until now never had an excuse to wear them) So! we started out on our hike on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Well, I was under the impression we were going to be going on a nice leisurely hike, and 10 minutes into the hike I realized my drill sergeant friend had a different idea of what a hike should be. Every time I paused for a break she would turn around and say “DO YOU WANT TO FIT IN A WEDDING DRESS OR NOT? LET’s GO!” Alarmed at this idea that I wouldn’t want to be plump on my wedding day I would start moving double step…..Sweating and gasping un controllably, I soon realized, I’m not even engaged! And no plans on it!


So, of course I would slow down again, she would turn and give me a glare, and the thought of being a bride and overweight on my wedding day came back into my head, freaking me out once again and I’d pick up the pace.  (after re reading that last line I just realized how sad my life is, but I’m not going to change it) I believe at one point I even said “I HATE THIS HIKE, and I know I’m complaining a lot but we are not friends right now!” The moral of this story is we’re still friends but I will never hike with her again.

I’m getting tired just writing about that whole experience, and so I’m going to go eat an ice cream sandwich to make myself feel better.
