Seriously, it's supposed to be shorts weather on Friday! I'm so excited to enjoy my birthday dinner out on a patio somewhere, working on my tan..... I feel like I haven't worked yet this week and tomorrow is already the last workday before the long weekend! You can't beat that feeling!
Tuesday was a busy and quick moving day at work. When I got home that evening I relaxed with Brian and we watched the end of Season 10 of Friends, as well as The Biggest Loser.
Today I took the day off of work to take a government test for a job I got screened into. There were a couple hundred people taking the test, but the test seemed fairly simple and straightforward. Even if I don't get this specific position, I'll still be considered in their job pool for a couple of years. My test ended at 11am and Brian picked me up and we headed around town looking at the areas of some apartments we found online. It's getting stressful because it seems everyone and their dog has an opinion about different areas in Ottawa! It ends up scaring me a bit, until I tell myself that every single place has sketchy people. You never know your neighbors.... it doesn't matter where you live. Yes, that's a sad thought. And yes, this is one of the reasons I am such a homebody. The world is not a good and safe place. Anyways, after we did our little search, we headed to the movies to escape reality and see Alice in Wonderland. While it was entertaining, I had pretty high expectations for it and was left slightly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's good movie, it's just not as amazing as I know it could've been! After the movie, we did some grocery shopping.
Here is what I picked up:
- Raspberries
- Bananas
- Strawberries
- 12-grain bagels
- Lean bologna
- Blue menu chicken meatballs
- McCain's International Deluxe pizza
- McCain's International Multigrain tomato and chicken pizza
- Mini bags of Miss Vickie's plain chips
- Skim milk
- Eggs
- 35% Whipping Cream
- Baker's semi sweet chocolate
I also went for a run with Val before dinner. Our time was about 30 seconds longer than last week, but we also got stopped at two fairly long red lights. It's frustrating because I feel like I ran so much faster today, but I'll just have to pick it up again next time and hope for less red lights cramping my style!
This evening I just did some spring cleaning and vegged. Ahhhh... bring on the weekend please and thank you :)

What area are you looking into? I thought you were thinking of staying in Orleans? People are annoying. Sure there are dangerous places but that's EVERYWHERE! don't let other people freak you out. I don't think I would have ever left Ottawa if I listened to anyone LOL I mean, it's important to know your surroundings but you also have to live a little and be safe. Don't walk alone at night and don't hangout in areas you know aren't safe. But you already know that hahaha Also pepper spray is a SAVIOR. Although I'm not sure if it's illegal in Canada or not?
