Interview

Hey Ladies,

How's it going? Everyone getting excited for Christmas? CT and I were thinking that perhaps we could all get together the afternoon of Friday Dec 23. We were thinking maybe we could do lunch then hang out for awhile. Sweet potato fries at the Pilot House might be good...yum. We'll all be home then, I have that afternoon off of work, and I don't think most of us have family plans in the afternoons. It could be the ideal timing.

Also, I had a job interview today with the Chalmers Research Group who does the clinical trials at the Children's Hospital in Ottawa. I think it went well and I'll find out on Friday if I've got it or not. It seems like a good place to get into where I'd have the opportunity to move up within the company as I get more experience. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I should go since I'm at work, but I just wanted to put out that idea for our get together. Let me know what you think. Can't wait to see everyone :) Miss you lots.

Love,
MC

RENT!!

I went to Rent yesterday with Jane and Julie. It was so good!!! Kendra, have you seen it yet??? You will not be disappointed! I hope it's still out at Christmas because I can't wait to go again. I'm now listening to the songs over and over while I write my paper.
Love, Lynds

Hallowe'en - better late than never

I forgot to write about Hallowe'en. We went to the same place as last year but I didn't win any prizes this time. I was Wilma Flintstone, Jane was Glinda (from Wizard of Oz) and Julie was Tinkerbell. Darcy didn't go because he was studying for a midterm. There were some crazy costumes. One girl was a vibrator and she actually vibrated. Then there was a guy dressed as Michealangelo's David. He was only wearing a g-string and had white paint all over himself! You can see some pics on the website. (http://www.pgss.mcgill.ca/PHOTOALBUM/)

Hallowe'en - Wilma and Pebbles

I need a little break from work so thought I'd post a hello. I don't have many blog-worthy stories because I feel like all I do is school work. rrr. I finish classes next week! Yippee!! Yikes...that means I have to write 2 term papers in the next two weeks. :( I even skipped one of my classes this morning to work on two other papers.
What has everyone been up to lately? Do you know what happens tomorrow???? RENT is released! I'm so excited. I'm planning to go Friday night with some friends to celebrate our last clinical day for the semester. I hope it's still out at Christmas because I think I will need to see it multiple times. It might be hard to hold back from singing. I went to see Walk the Line on the weekend with Darcy. It was so good! It even made me cry in a couple of parts.
I'm trying to think of what else is new. I went to a free Black Eyed Peas concert a little while ago. Best Buy had this concert to celebrate the opening of 5 new stores in MTL. There were contests to get tickets. Jane's friend got us tickets. It was a lot of fun but I also felt like I was in a Best Buy cult. There were Best Buy lights, Best Buy banners, and Best Buy employees doing Best Buy chants handing out Best Buy flyers. I guess the brainwashing didn't work because I have yet to step in any of the MTL stores.
Has anyone heard Madonna's new CD? I love it. I had saved part of my itunes gift certificate for it. :)

Miss you,

Lynds xo

Mrs. Robert Ghiz

For all of you who don't get to read the Guardian on a daily basis, just thought I'd let you know that Kate Ellis is engaged to Robert Ghiz. Apparently it was a slow news day, because there was the announcement along with a pic of them and an inset pic of her ring on the front page of the paper this morning. Just thought it was an interesting little tidbit to share.

Michelle and Piaza Joe's finally call a truce

Ok ladies come on. Life must be at least half interesting so you could drop a line from now and then. As for us MC and I went out for our ritual Friday night supper. It was my week to pick and I chose Piaza Joe's. Well to start off our waiter was none other than the UPEI keeper who scored the goal during Sunday's game. He came over to the table to say Good evening and MC went Hello, good day I mean good evening ech I can't talk. I swear my face went red for her she was so embarassing. So then when he came back I was like we just wanted to say how awesome you played last weekend. Luckily MC quickly said she's Tess's brother to take the "why are you stalking me?" look off his face. Then of course she was like i mean sister oh my God I can't talk. I swear her face was like purple. So then we had an absolutely awesome meal that we both loved and came back here. So here it is 7 years later and MC finally like Piaza Joe's. Now here's for a good story. Does everyone remember the time MC took the pen to Peake's and wrote on her leg in the bathroom so she wouldn't forget? Of course we all remember that moment. So MC went to trivia on Wednesday night and was talking to Sean Kidd. In talking Saul said to her "Well you're (looks her up and down) mildly attractive." It gets better. So MC goes to the bathroom at the Wave, goes in the stall, and takes a video of herself repeating what he says into her digital camera. Now MC I'm not laughing at you but we're all definitely laughing with you. Oh good times. Anyway love to hear what the rest of you are up to.

Adventures in grade 2

That's right ladies it's story time. So gather round, sit on your bums so the people behind you can see. That's it. Where to begin, I have had strep throat for a total of 10 days now and it's still not under control. My voice now fades in and out and I'm coughing like crazy. I finishedv parent teacher interviews last week and a lot of the parents asked if I wanted them to send stuff for Halloween. After last years 7 different kinds of cookies I mostly hinted that I didn't want treats coming in. I got 4 different kinds of cookies, cupcakes, candy and microwave popcorn. Now I was able to spread all of those things out not too bad throughout the day. The crisis, you know there's always a crisis when we're talking about me, came right around lunchtime. I put the microwave popcorn in the microwave and just after it started popping the bell rang so I went back to meet the kids. Told them to get their lunches and settle down and headed back to the kitchen. As I'm walking I['m going shit what's that smell. I got to the kitchen and I swear it was smokey, I'm amazed I didn't set off the fire alarm. The bag actually had a black mark that looked like it had been on fire. Obviously we didn't eat it. Went back to class and there was an announcement asking that anyone who did not know how to microwave popcorn should come to the office for a little lesson. My class strongly encouraged me to go. Then the kid who brought it opened his lunch and he had another bag of popcorn. So I went and popped it, we ate it and sent the rest to the office as proof I did know how to make popcorn. All right ladies that's it for me, hope this gives you a little laugh.

Halloween

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to post a few pics from Halloween. CT and I had a great time at the Halloween/Bon Voyage Brendan party at Queen St. Yeah, not much else to say...a picture's worth a thousand words. For some reason after I loaded the pics, the formatting of the blog went all weird. I'm going to try to fix it, but if I can't, I apologize.

The mark left by Granny Nicole...which I was told to leave on my face for the rest of the night. And I did without it smearing all over the place :) 

Help!
