At Peace

Sorry I haven't updated lately. Everything is so calm and peaceful that there's not too much to write about.

I'm counting the days to Mexico, I'm going to Puerto Vallarta with my Mom and Aunts and Uncles and cousins. I've never been anywhere tropical, I'm looking forward to it.

It's been super cold here, I have a little bit of cabin fever. Today was the first nice day in a long time, I took a walk etc. It was nice to see the sun and get a good stretch.

I messed up my shoulder good. I might have to go to the chiropractor. I thought it might loosen itself but it's not happening. I'm on a "get fit for Mexico" rampage and maybe I overdid it a little. I'm swimming every Tues and Thurs evening. I really look forward to it all day. I love the pool, it doesn't feel like work and my times improve phenomenally every time I go. I'm waiting to hit a plateau but it's not coming. Which is cool, but probably bad for my shoulder :( I'm also running 3 miles 3 times a week. I've found a cool audio book which is entertaining. "Getting Past No and Negotiating in Difficult Situations" I don't know why I get so enthralled with these for runs. It's entertaining and takes my mind off the running part. Treadmills are boring after the first 5 minutes.

Work has some pretty cool projects that I'm excited about. I stayed late almost everyday this week and barely noticed it as work. How many people can say that? I was integrating payment gateways into our e-commerce solutions. They were all fun and man, can I go on a rant about paypal. Paypal is not your pal.

Ryan's got hockey this weekend. I like how we have our separate activities. It's really nice and keeps everything interesting. I dunno what we'd do if we were like those couples that do absolutely everything together. That'd get kinda boring wouldn't it? Don't get me wrong, we do lots together, it's just nice to have some time with friends.

I was thinking about going to Regina, but I have too much to keep me busy this weekend. I started the Twilight Series and I really really need to do laundry. I know, I know, not much of an excuse, but seriously, I'm on my last pair of underwear.

Shannon and I started doing Sat morning coffee which I enjoy, it gets me up and out and about early! Also nice because now that I don't work at Vecima we don't chat as much and I miss that.

I also started Fable 2 for Xbox 360. As much as I have a hate on for RPGs, I really really enjoyed it. It's fun. I had to laugh that my purchases at the mall today were Fable 2 and New Moon, the 2nd book in the twilight series. Once a nerd always a nerd?

I could go on a rant about the Twilight series too. I like vampires and I like teen novels. But this one is a little different. I don't necessary like the characters and I think the premise is quite weak, but I can 't stop reading them, if not just to complain! I guess it's fairly well written and an easy read, and some part of me must enjoy it to continue on in the series. Maybe if I were 12? I dunno, but it's an interesting journey anyways :)

That's all from me, same old same old :)
