The commemorative 5th anniversary coin

I'm not sure if any of you have seen the twin towers rise up in pure silver recovered from ground zero. But wow, is it cool!
The best part of it is that they are advertising this quasi infomercial on CBC. You send the money order to Winnipeg?? For all of you that can do math, 5 year's ago was not 2001! Anything wrong with this picture?
Apparently, it is a scam, a hoax, who would have thought.
CBC... what are you doing? Shouldn't these be sold at Wal-mart?

The Podcast

I have discovered the best thing ever. Downloading podcasts on to my iPod. I guess I'm not really the one that discovered this, but it was a revelation for me.
Last night we got an oil change, when we pulled up they told us it would be a 45 min wait. Which is a fairly long time, but then I remember the podcasts I downloaded the night before. So we entertained ourselves basically watching TV in the car. The time passed by so quickly.
There was also an A&W right beside us, so we had dinner too. It was like we were at the drive in! Very exciting.
Now I can watch podcasts on the way to England, yah!

Icky, Dirty People

So, just lately I've realized that many people I am close with do NOT wash their hands after going to the bathroom! How gross is that.

PEOPLE, WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM.

I also highly reccomend cleaning the toilet, if there is anything visible on the toilet seat, then I think it is time to clean it.

And how do girls drip on the seat????
I'll never understand this, at least not in the comfort of your own home. WIPE! Then stand up.

I'm really tired and grossed out by all this poor toilet etiquette surrounding the holiday season!
Ba hum bug!

The Group Interview

So a couple days ago I had a group interview. I am not very good at interviews, so put me in a group interview situation and I am even worse!! Not my point. My point is that: at this interview were 6 people, 3 of whom already worked for the company that I was interviewing with and therefore already new the 5 person interview panel quite well. I'm thinking this isn't really fair. The other thing I hate about group interviews is BIMBO"s! One of the girls was all like, " Oh my god, I totally love life! I love getting up in the morning and looking outside and seeing the sunshine! I love sunshine! I am such a bimbo! I'm like totally annoying!!" Okay, I may have added a little at the end, but really, does anyone really act like that in real life?
Maybe I should wait to post this until after I know I did not get a second interview, just incase!
I guess I can say what I like, it's been a week and they left a message, I phoned them back and still haven't heard back from them. My assumption, I didn't get the job.
As for the city one, I don't know why I bother. I don't have experience so I can't get a job, I can't get a job because I don't have experience. Blah!!
For some reason this picture came up when I Googled that last statement.

The Percentages

I'm sorry to all my faithful readers, I have definitely been slacking on the blogging. It seems being a fitness instructor takes up 80% of my time, yet only pays me for about 20% of it. Now that extra 20% is taken up by me applying for jobs. How exciting. Anybody looking to hire someone?? No evenings and weekends of course! But seriously, hire me.
This morning I got to drive across the city at 6 am to find out no one else wanted to get out of bed at 6 am, make that 5 am. So I went back to bed. How frustrating.

Great new Beastie Boys Tune!

The whole album is instrumental which is pretty sweet because some of my favorite Beastie Boys songs are just that! Clea, I am slightly jealous, but I know, I had my chance.

The new tattoo

So this is my new tattoo, it's awesome, I love it. No, it is not henna, it is the real thing!
Anyway, the reason I chose a tree. It is the 'Seattle Yoga Tree' studio symbol. I love Seattle. I love yoga. I love nature, which is full of trees and the tree just kind of symbolizes all that . Trees are grounded, growing, and grand. Greg thinks it makes me look cuter! But it is really starting to get itchy! NO SCRATCHING!

To my few faithful readers

I suck. I have really just not had anything happen worth blogging about. That and I didn't have an internet for about a week. Here is a little entertainment for you while you're waiting for my inspiration.
Today I had to teach a fitness class called "variety pump"; before I agreed to teach I asked, " is this a step class, because if it is I don't want to teach it". For those of you who don't know , I have no coordination (oh, wait, everyone I know knows that). I warned the class of this before I started teaching, but it didn't seem to matter what I did, the class would turn it into a super coor. move. They had crazy arm movements and I had no idea what was going on. I had to completely take them off the step. It was pretty funny.
That was a lame storey, the point is I don't like step!!

Yah for the internet!

Have no fear, the internet is here. I can blog and facebook again! Life is good.

Change of Plans

Isn't it ironic how when things finally look like they are going to be settled...they aren't. I was accepted into all 3 of the programs I applied to at the University of Waterloo. Looks like we shouldn't unpack all of our boxes this time (or at least keep the boxes). Anyway the program starts in September so I guess it's good I have the summer off (kind of). I guess I'll put the kids on hold again.
