What is up?!

These days – everything. That’s why I’ve been MIA. Too much to do!


Here is a little sneak peak at the nursery:

I could show you the rest but it is currently a disaster area and will be until after my showers are over and everything gets sorted and put away… hopefully in some ‘nesting’ phase everyone keeps talking about.

I’m attempting to get all, that’s right ALL of my Christmas shopping done before December 1. I had about 70% of it done before November 1, but I’ve started slacking as when work is done and I get home I hit a wall of exhaustion and nothing gets done. So daytime online shopping it will have to be…

Only.. I don’t have a lot of time anymore to online daytime shop as I’m attempting to put together some kind of organized training binder for my mat leave coverage as up until this point I’ve only had jotted notes in my ‘If I get hit by a bus’ folder. I officially have 34 days of work left to do all my work, plus quarterly end work, plus training of a new person who hasn’t been interviewed/hired yet, AND on top of that miss work for a million upcoming appointments….

Speaking of the million appointments – it was discovered at my last appointment (3 weeks ago) that my blood pressure is on the high side, too high to finish out those 34 days, so I’m monitoring it, but I can’t say it’s getting much better. Oh how I used to love stress as I worked and performed much better under it, but now if it’s going to cause medical issues with the baby it has to go. I’m thinking I’ll hit the couch and import my hottie waiter from last Christmas’ trip to Mexico.

But before I give up any kind of social/fun/on the go lifestyle I’m going to a book signing event for Jann Arden tonight. Now for those of you Americans who don’t know who Jann Arden is…

You can find her website/blog HERE.
And you may recognize this song (my 14 year old broken heart sang it repeatedly and it's still a classic when I play sad song dj):



And for shits & giggles she actually sings a song called ‘Janeen’ – which is definitely NOT about me :)

Jann is probably my favourite Canadian female artist, and I’m all about Canadian music. Maybe an upcoming blog entry will focus on it? I’ll add that to my list of things that need to get done!
