I haven’t been in the posting mood lately.
Maybe it’s the gorgeous weather we’re having, that makes me rather sit in a spot of sun, than spend an unnecessary moment at the computer.
Maybe its all the driving to and from our new office out in the boonies, that’s putting a damper on my spirits. Btw anyone in Toronto seen the beautiful temple off the 427 North? Are curious passer by’s allowed to visit??
Maybe it’s my newly discovered dedication to the gym. “Dancing with the star’s body” here I come.
Maybe it’s my lack of inspiration lately. My single, hot, sex in the city life seems to have slowed down. Past men, are reminding me why they are part of my ‘past.’ The ‘in the moment men’ have slipped into the past. And the future ‘man-en’ isn’t here yet. Also the fun friends in my life are slowly falling to the wayside. I guess its life catching up with us, but I still think that it should be irie to have impromptu bbq’s on a Sunday….without having to book people a month in advance…..
Maybe it’s because I’m on the brink, the brink of a possibly great and interesting summer, the brink of a possible new career, the brink of possibilities in general…. On the brink but not quite there yet……

You know its summer in Toronto when:
~Your will do any kind of indoor work evaporates
~The Catholic Girl kilts come out in full force sans knee length stockings
~Flip Flops!!
~Your entire day at work consists of plotting, scheming and four conference calls with your work gals, to contrive a way for the three of you to ‘innocently’ leave early, to go shopping!
~You eat your first hot dog with fried onions.
~You break out the razor and give your legs the satiny finish they deserve….they are so soft you slip hand down every now and then to ‘cop a feel.’
~You buy shorts in anticipation of the upcoming parties
~Your condo turns on the air-conditioning after an emergency meeting with the board of directors
~All the local grocery flyers break out their 6 page spread of the latest and greatest fare for the BBQ
~You realize its time to give naked girl at the gym some competition
~You begin to dream of salsa boat cruises
~You receive flyers for hot sweaty soca fetes, and you don’t think to yourself…..maybe another time….instead you mentally assess your closet for that perfect skimpy outfit, you know you can’t wear anywhere else
~Your secretly praying for a TTC strike that will go on for a couple of weeks!

Cranky’s Updates:
I started these two weeks ago…..
Bullet Points are the coolest thing out there. Grant, I think you need to do a post on why bullet points are a winner….
There will be Blood is an odd movie.
Friday night went out with Alien Hands on a double date with his broker and girlfriend. Good times, accidentally bumped into his ex, only slow little me, didn’t realize and mistook her for a common friend. I was gregariously saying hi, until I noticed the uncomfortable looks from the other two. Even though she was with her new beau, I couldn’t help feel bad, to meet the new chick (sort of/kind of, but she doesn’t know that) with the old friends. Ekk.
Foodie Review, We ate a place called Foxley’s. We had to put our names on a two hour wait list first, (they don’t take reservations) so we ended up going to a conveniently located tequila bar next door. (Personally I think both are owned by the same owner.) After a few tequila shots, we hazily walked over to Foxley’s, and like drunken loud mouths demanded a few plates of their widely reviewed ribs. The food was amazing, the ribs were delicious, the ducks had an amazing flavour and tender texture, and the wine was marvelous! It was worth the wait.
Been working some crazy hours. I am actually dreaming about work these days. One of our team members, who joined us for a total of two weeks, had gone on stress leave. Apparently my boss Big Foot was too much for her to handle. Let’s see I’ve been doing this for about a year now, that must entitle me to a month of stress leave right??? I have been appointed her unofficial replacement. It’s like a promotion with out a raise, a title change or any recognition of any kind. To quote Ryan Seacreast when asked about how much money he’s made this year so far…. “It’s not about the money” Sigh!
Miami boy’s friend emailed, saying they ‘might’ be back for Caribanna. Must pick up pace at the gym.
My gym is full of characters. Naked girl, is a hot Latina who wears the littlest amount of clothing allowed at a women’s gym. She is gorgeous, and perfect in every way. I find myself ogling at her shamelessly. She is my new aspiration; I must look like her one day!
On Tuesday nights there is a class called Rock Hard Abs and Butts. It’s taught by a petite Ukrainian woman. She makes us sit on an exercise ball, and do all sorts of crazy things. Most resemble acts usually reserved for a bedroom. It’s actually funny to see other woman awkwardly straddling the ball and bouncing around. Felt a little pity for their hubbies, if their ball action is any indication of their abilities in the bedroom, well bwoy, I should teach a class haha!
My culinary skills are improving exponentially. Even though I am working crazy hours, I’ve managed to roast a pot roast and a whole chicken in the last two weeks. I finally realize why roasts are usually Sunday meals. They take forever to cook. Tuesday night I got in at about 7.30 pm(early!) and began to roast the beef. Two hours later in utter desperation there was Cranky with her fork and steak knife slyly cutting out the ends since they were the old parts that were cooked!
Apart from that I am learning a ton about the world of office construction like the politics of seating plans, what are gaylords, swing space, the optimal dimensions of office cubicles, how important supply draws are to group administrators, and other things I could go on about ad naseum.
Is it a low or high point in life when your working at 11.30 on a Saturday night and now even feeling like your missing out on some big party somewhere??

My apologies for the lack of posts.

You know your busy, when write your new blog post directly on blogger, as opposed to playing with it for an hour on Word.
Today I sat in a nine hour meeting, where we painstakingly mapped out our office move.
The other day saw me running down Bay Street flagging down buses.
Things at work are so busy, that i get home pumped, with so many ideas floating in my head, I can't sleep. I'm too energized.
It's great to slack off, but its funny how alive you feel when your actually doing meaningful work.
