Can You Hear Me Now?

I thought I’d make a quick update while Shawna is out seeing Billy! I needed to stay in tonight because a) I knew I wouldn’t have the energy to go out tonight after the busy few days we have had and the fact we are going out tomorrow night, and b) I needed some time to myself to concentrate and work on this business plan.

My friend Shawna arrived from Winnipeg on Wednesday and is staying with me until Tuesday. Good times! She’s great and we get along really well, no shortage of conversation here. We have done a fair bit of mall hopping, including spending the afternoon downtown yesterday where she helped me pick out my new glasses (they’ll be ready next week. Woot!) Shawna arrived with two big stuffed suitcases, (I always tease her about being Ms. High Maintenance ) and has already bought a new pair of pants, a purse, a hat, MAC lipstick… am I missing anything? I hope she has room to take it all home! She’s dangerous in the mall, that girl. We’ve actually eaten a few meals at home this time! Last time she was here we ate out every meal except breakfast, I think. We didn’t want to spend that kind of money (it was really short notice that she decided to come out, no time to save for such an occasion!), so we’re being a little reserved. Last night after a supper of my mom’s homemade chili and Pillsbury breadsticks, she sat through my entire Polyjesters DVD and ENJOYED it!! Today I had to work way across the city, but she actually came with me and spent the day wandering around the strip mall or drinking coffee/reading the paper in the coffee shop or Boston Pizza nearby (where I did take a break and we had lunch). Access Calgary was over half an hour late picking us up and it was a long trip home, so I am very glad I decided to opt out on going out tonight… I am totally wiped!

I finished what I could of the business plan (I’m still waiting for some information from my client) and sent it off for another review. Shawna is hopefully having a grand old time at the Tsunami Benefit concert Billy is performing at, and my bed is calling me!

Tomorrow night we go out again, Sunday will be a good rest day, and Monday night is Lindy!! YAY! Tuesday morning she leaves and then it’s all about the work, work, work for me. Next time I update I’ll hopefully have my pictures developed from both Bluebird North and Lindy, and maybe even an exciting tale to tell.

Good night! *Yawn*
