Lunar Eclipse and ngfc new job!

Last night was a very nice show. A lunar eclipse on a full moon. We didn't get to see much of a blood moon though. It must have been cloudy around us. An article I found on NASA's website details what causes a blood moon or Hunter's moon as it's called in some parts of the world.

I found out when the next total solar eclipse is for North America, lol August of 2017. Terence said we could go but it's so long into the future that I'll just put it into the back of my head and forget about it for a little while at least. It would be a neat family trip to take into the states. It's also right around Gencon time so that would be convenient if we're still going to that for our vacations.

I got my job at the NGFC! It's $20 per hour for my probation and $22 after that. I'm very excited about it, I start on Tuesday. It will be good to get away from Candace. I've had enough of her bullshit. I do have to ask Teddy about Gencon in August though. I'd imagine it will be fine. I will offer to work some Fridays to make up for the hours. I think if I ask for Wednesday to Monday off, that's not too much to ask for (only three days when you take into account I get Fridays off)

Baby....

Yes I'll say it one more time so it can sink in real slow.... Baby... My sister is going to have a baby... Not sure if that's a yay or a OMGWTF thing. We'll see, I'm suspecting it will be a good thing but ya never know.

Found a fun little game online about geography. Link for it is:

Fun with world geography

I think my plant from the restaurant might, and that's a huge might, live. It's growing small root tendrils and some of the leaves have a small amount of greenness still. I'm hoping really lots that it survives. It's a nice little plant and I was very glad when the lady said I could have some.

I did my interview today and it went awesome! I'm so very glad it did. The questions were super easy, and I really liked the people. One of them is Terence's second cousin so that might be a good thing. I get my answer on Friday. ::fingers crossed::

weekend fun and ngfc

The weekend was pretty good. We went to Dryden to pick up Mom's T4s and to have a visit. Saturday night, we went to the Queen St. Station to play pool and listen to the karaoke singers. Mom's friend, Charles, won the karaoke contest (could be because she voted for him 10 times lol) Mom, Dad and Terence had a little too much fun (beer) so I drove home. Kailee and I were the only sober ones as Stewart declined to join us. Sometimes that guy drives me nuts. He phoned my cell, Dad's cell and the house repeatedly after she asked him if he wanted to join us. Why not come with us instead of repeatedly phoning a bazillion times trying to get her to come home. Jealousy is a huge relationship killer, I hope he realizes that. What makes me really laugh, is he's worried about her hanging around her family. What happens if she makes some new friends??? Ah well, enough bitching about Stewart.

Dad, Terence and I went for breakfast on Sunday. I got a new plant from the restaurant :) Unfortunately, I think it may have gotten frostbite on the way into the house as the doors were frozen and we were outside for a good 3 or 4 minutes before we got inside :( We'll see though. I hope at least a small piece lives.

The NGFC called me and requested an interview tomorrow YAYAYAY! I'm so excited and hope hope hope that I get the position.

very tired but happy

It's been a bit since my last post, I started my new job and it's kinda eating up my time. I wasn't supposed to start until the 4th of dec, but they called me in on the 28th to start my training early. I figured why not, extra hours are good. The training is very interesting, I've always wanted to know how the inside of a bank works, the only part that creeps me out are the hold up procedures ::shivers:: I pray we never ever have to use them. I think BMO will be a fun place to work, I like both my managers and Trevor is fun. Lol, Terence thinks he's gay, but I'm pretty sure he's got a girlfriend. Not that that confirms it one way or the other though, heh. I hope I can get all my Christmas shopping done next friday, I really don't want to have to be running around the weekend after.

On a kitty note, Mephit has been especially bad this week, Terence attributes it to the full moon. I agree and think some of it might also be the fact that I'm not home during the day now. Poor little buddies are all alone for 6 hours a day now. I'd imagine that's a bit of a shock to them. Usually I'm here to take care of them and keep them entertained. Ah well, such is the way of life, the money will help out in the long run.

I replanted my little rubbery plant, the people at the UBC forums called it a pepromia scandens. I separated it into two pots by division and then took some slips to see if I could get them to root. My ficus benjamina isn't doing very good. I think I gave it a bit of a chill by the window, but hopefully something will recover out of it. I'd like to repot it but don't want to shock it any more than it already has been. Time will tell, maybe if it looks better in the spring.
