Ok. I can breathe now.

It really seems like the weekend just flew by. They always do, I know. But this one especially.

Friday night began with an unexpected trip to the hospital. Not for me, but to help out and visit my good friend Christine, who was. The good part was being able to help a friend that needed it, and also being able to have an unexpected little visit with both her and Lindsay – who'd just gotten back from holidays hours before. The bad part is being worried about my friend of course, no one likes being in the hospital, or having someone they care about in there.

I'll be having a few words with her about how stubborn she's being, but the good news (again) is that Christine was home the next day.

Saturday was a tad lazy to begin with, but quickly picked up the pace come mid-afternoon. The Boy and I had a 60th birthday party to attend, and I had to make myself pretty :)

It was a fabulous time, and a chance for me to get to know his childhood and close family friends and their wives and girlfriends better. Before I knew it, about 7 of us girls were running up to the bar to quickly grab another drink and jumping back on the dance floor. And did I mention that the dessert table was catered by Dessert Sinsations? Because even if I wasn't in the presence of fantastic company, the two pieces I had of their Berry Torte (my favourite) would have definitely ensured I had a good time anyway. Oh my God that cake is good.

Sunday was BUSY day. Up early, and straight to work on a project I needed to have done for Monday morning. A couple hours later, I was off to volleyball (and winning! Go Ninjas!), and then dashing back home to make dinner for my mom, dad and brother. (Whew!)

My dad is more than a little great. He's come to help me out sooo many times with this new place of mine, I can't even count. I appreciate him so much. Thanks to his quick handywork, I now have lights, a mirror and a brand new towel rack all installed in my freshly-painted bathroom. And I'd be willing to bet a pretty penny that they are all level to an exact if you were to test them. All of that with only a few swears uttered :)

Once The Family had headed home, I was back to the office to finish my project. Aaaaaaand, no wonder I didn't set an alarm this morning. Good thing I had a client to wake me with some changes at 8 this morning.

But I leave you all with some more good news - at least for me...I have a second job interview this week! Wednesday afternoon to be exact, so I really hope the weather cooperates this time.

Wish me luck! I'm pretty excited.

GOOD LUCK with the interview this week and I hope your friend is doing well. That is such scary stuff!

I also hope your weather is better than ours. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it in tomorrow!
