Sneaking a little net time on my lunch break to say Hi, so HI! Things in the land of the Queen are pretty boring, I have this stinking cold that won't go away. I actually took a second sick day on Tuesday (oh the guilt! I can't even being to tell you.) I took a lot of pictures from my sick bed, the poor cat had to endure yet another "mummy's bored" photo session. Maybe I will post some of those pics later. Gil, who is also sick with the same cold, is in PEI again and while I do miss him and am feeling bad for him being sick in a place that is not home, I am happy(ish) that I have the bed to myself. We are not meant to be sick at the same time, it is just not good, I WAY too selfish to share my self. I want to hog the bed and be waited on. When both people are sick there are two sets of gross noises, two people tossing in the bed and NO one wants to go to the store and buy OJ and chicken noodle soup. Yesterday I forgot that Gil was heading back to the Island and I did not bring my keys with me to work so I was locked out until I got ahold of the landlords. Thank goodness for James and Theresa who took me in like the stray I am. It was actually a very enjoyable evening with Pizza and good conversation, as is always the case when Theresa, James and Rena are concerned. Speaking of which I had the most amazing night on Monday. I was invited to the Moir home to watch coverage of the election and I have to say it was one of the best evening I have spent in recent memory. Of course I was disappointed with the results but I feel like I learned more sitting in that livingroom then I did in years. These people are SO smart, driven and passionate. Mix that all with kind and down to earth with good taste is wine and they are pretty much perfect. I guess that is why I like them so much.
As for the actual election results I am not going to rant about that now. I don't like Steven Harper but it could be a lot worse, they could have a majority government and they don't. What's done is done, now it is time for the Liberal party to find a leader who can really LEAD, a juggernaught, a force to be reckoned with. Gives us a couple of years to re-group and we will be back. I have faith. Anyway I must get back to work. YAY.

HA! For once one of these things worked!
| You Belong in London |
 A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well. |
Ummmmm I don't think so!
| Your Nail Polish Color is Black |
 How you're unique: There's nothing about you that isn't unique Why your style rocks: You are a total indie chick... and you can pull it off What this color says about you: "I'm a trendsetter and don't care what anyone else is doing!" |

Chocolate Tube Socks and A Newfie on Speed
Sometimes you just hear things wrong! You remember the telephone game from when you were a kid? Well I hear things mixed up like that all the time, I think that there is a bad connection somewhere between my ears and my brain. No wonder people think I am so weird. Anyway the chocolate tube socks almost made me piss my pants last night, which I have to say was the high light of my otherwise crappy headache day yesterday. I actually called in sick for the first time at new job and I feel so bad for doing it but I just was not getting out of bed yesterday. I hope that is my last sick day for a long time. I like this job and don't want to mess it up with sickness or with evil winter blues, but more on that later. For now I better get back to my desk, break time is just about over.

More things I love.
1. This is some of the best stuff on TV. Gil and I own the first 5 seasons on DVD and we could(and have) watched them over and over. I was so sad when I heard John Spencer died, he was a good man and a great actor.
2. More great TV! NUMB3RS is another show Gil and I love to watch together. Although I confess I have been watching it without him this week while he has been away. It is part of my program of unpacking the computer room. What is truly wonderful is that the 'hero' of this show is a total math geek. We love anything that honours the geek for the geek shall inherit the earth.
3. The last time Gil went away for a long time I ate terribly, but this time thanks to these guys I am eating like the Queen I am! I swear I could eat something from there every night, in fact maybe I will.
Hmm that is it for now, but I love LOTS of stuff so stay tuned.

Monday Blues... a compilation by Meghan
I am without a Gilly tonight and the house feels big and quiet. I am not stressed or sad about him being away like I was before Christmas. I just wish he were here to go to bed with. I feel like I got a lot done tonight. The spare room/computer room actually looks something like a room now. I think I can probably finish it tomorrow night. I can't believe how many books we own. It is positivly obscene. No wonder moving was such a pain in the ass! I swear I would be happy to never move again. If only I could tear down the plaster walls and put up ones that were easier to hang things up on. Oh well i will find a way to have my way with these walls. I should post some pictures soon but I am waiting for the house to not look so gross. Can you believe I am still in boxes?? I really bailed on the unpacking process I confess. But I am feeling pretty good now I am on a roll as long as I can keep with it.
Well this is short and sweet, I am exhausted and think that 10:30 is a perfectly respectable bed time (oh how the times have changed)
I swear I will post some christmas/birthday pictures this week.
Night night....

Longest work day ever...
It is a good thing that I do like my job so much because this is one of those days where a person might quit a sucky job. Having been so spoiled by the Christmas (oops I mean Holiday ... wait no I don't I mean Christmas dammit!!) break this week became very long today. It has been weeks since I worked a full day on a Friday abd even being in my omfy jeans could not make this day go by faster. I know that there are good things happening this weekend so it makes waiting so much harder. Tonight we are playing Imperium at our place and I plan on drinking a whole lot of Grasshoppers. Tomorrow I have a few errands to run but Gil and I have declared it West Wing Day and we are going to curl up in our PJ's and watch the West Wing all afternoon. We are also talking about catching a film. And then Sunday is D&D with the T&J Gang and maybe belly dancing with my sister. Maybe.
Anyway my break is almost over, I am just trying to make the time crawl a little faster. Woot!

Life Ain't Easy for a Boy Named Sue...
Hanging out at Gil's office! Wooo fun times! I had a great day at work today, I love my job. I am so glad I took this one, it was SO the right choice for me.
Now for those who don't know yesterday was my 31st birthday. "How can that be?" you say. How can I possibly be 31 years old. Well I have been asking myself the same question. I certainly don't FEEL 31. I have been thinking about it all day and I think I know what is going on. 31 just isn't the same age it used to be. I feel great. I feel like life is starting to really come together for me and that I still have SO much to do. I feel like I am right where I should be.
Yesterday was a totally amazing day and I have LOTS of pictures to share but they are at home and I am not. (Oh and I can share pictures because Santa got me an AMAZING new camera for Christmas.)
Gil was supposed to be out of the Province on my Bday but my luck changed and he got to stay home so I got to wake up next to him! YAY! Then I had a great day at work where they got me a cake! A pink cake with NO chocolate, and it had candles. And there were noise makers and a pink/purple unicorn card! It is like in a month they know how silly and girly and fun I am. I felt more apart of team there then I felt in all the time I was at Zellers.
After work Gil took me to get some supplies and then I went home and cleaned up a bit, then Sara, Theresa, Rena, Aimee and my Sister plus Gil and Me ordered Chinese from Frans (THE best Chinese EVER) and we hung out in our living room, ate a TONE of food and just chilled. It was so awsome. It was the birthday ever. No stress at all. SO NICE. Also I got a bunch of good loot including some beautiful candles, 3 new house plants, Lush stuff, slippers that have grippy bottoms so I won't take anymore trips down the stairs on my ass, and a super sweet memory card for my new camera from Gil who SHOULD NOT have brought me such an awsome gift after laying out all that cash for my girls and I to have Chinese, but he is just a giver. I hope he knows how VERY greatful I am that he takes such good care of me and ALWAYS goes above and beyond for me. GOD he is an awsome man. I am the luckiest girl in the world.
Well it must be almost time to go home so i am going to sign off. I will post pictures later.

2006-The Year of the Meg
Well the holidays were interesting. About 30 seconds after completing my last blog entry I headed down to make a pot of tea as planned howeverI slipped and too all 15 hardwood stairs on my ass.
The result was that I could not sit for most of Christmas vacation. This picture was taken one week later when most of the bruise had finally set. Let me just tell you that the 4 hour drive to NB on Christmas day was NOT that much fun. However the stay in NB was awsome. We stayed in our PJ's the whole time. Gil and I both read a book each in one afternoon. Gil's dad fed us like we were royalty. It was wonderful! Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day apart from the massive pain in my bottom were okay but so busy it felt like we didn't really get a chance to enjoy it. We have decided that next year we are going to have a big open house on the 23rd. People can drop by our place and have some food and get their gifties but then on the 24th we are going to drive to NB and spend all of Christmas with Gil's parents. So far we have never woken up with them on Christmas day and I think it is time we do.
The days since Christmas have been ablur of visiting and good food. I did work two days andn by work I mean hang out at the office. Friday I went to the doctor and she told me that the bruise INSIDE was worse then the one I could see and that it went all the way up to my pelvis but the good news is it was going to feel better evenetually. :) Friday Gil and I also hit the boxing day sales and we made out like bandits. We actually bought a artifical tree for a song because I/we decided not to ever go through the Christmas tree song and dance hell ever again. Every year we have a problem with the tree and this year it actually drove me to drink, so we said "NEVER AGAIN!" We also bought new lamps and some organizational help. Not to mention some fun stuff.
Friday night Gil and I exchanged Christmas gifts (we decided to wait a while for that because Christmas was just too busy.) Then we went over and enjoyed a wonderful ham dinner with Tina, Aimee and John. The rest of the weekend has been a blur of visiting, food and gaming.
Speaking of which I should get going because I have both visiting and gaming to do today. it is so hard to believe that tomorow morning I have to get up and go to the office. Oh well it will be a short week, broken up by my birthday. Gil will be away again but I am sure the week will fly by.
Happy 2006 to everyone I love.
The result was that I could not sit for most of Christmas vacation. This picture was taken one week later when most of the bruise had finally set. Let me just tell you that the 4 hour drive to NB on Christmas day was NOT that much fun. However the stay in NB was awsome. We stayed in our PJ's the whole time. Gil and I both read a book each in one afternoon. Gil's dad fed us like we were royalty. It was wonderful! Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day apart from the massive pain in my bottom were okay but so busy it felt like we didn't really get a chance to enjoy it. We have decided that next year we are going to have a big open house on the 23rd. People can drop by our place and have some food and get their gifties but then on the 24th we are going to drive to NB and spend all of Christmas with Gil's parents. So far we have never woken up with them on Christmas day and I think it is time we do.
The days since Christmas have been ablur of visiting and good food. I did work two days andn by work I mean hang out at the office. Friday I went to the doctor and she told me that the bruise INSIDE was worse then the one I could see and that it went all the way up to my pelvis but the good news is it was going to feel better evenetually. :) Friday Gil and I also hit the boxing day sales and we made out like bandits.
