Well, I probably should at least do ONE blog post this weekend!!! I haven't been in to blogging much lately. The only thing I seem to be interested in doing these last few weeks I watch TV :)
Anyway, September is HERE! I have FINALLY have accepted and embraced fall, or as I like to call it, FallTumn! I am still wearing my sandals, and sometimes, my capri pants, but I think those will come to an end soon enough, I'm sure.
As I stated in my last post, Anker made salsa. We will both admit, however, that it isn't his best batch. It seems to be missing something. Anyway, at least it gave him something to do, something to use up our tomatoes, and it will save us from buying salsa for another year.
Last Saturday, my friend Adela and I went for our monthly sushi date. We are trying every sushi place in town. We tried Sushi Royal Tokyo, and it was good! I wouldn't say it was my favourite place in town, but it was good. Their tempura was delicious!!!
Before we met up, I went to our local Farmers' Market (for the first time this season), as I wanted to get some awesome scrunchies! There is a local lady in town who makes scrunchies, and I love them! I was given one by my SIL last Christmas, and I bought two this summer, and I wanted to get some more. If you are local (or semi-local), check out S. Design. I also decided to grab some sausages, and some cheese (soft dairy), which are both delicious!!! Kamloops Farmers' Market is a fun-filled market that goes from early April, to the end of October. I don't know why I didn't go more this year; especially since I wasn't working for most of it. Anyway, it was fun wandering around, and checking out the vendors. I bought some Terroir Cheese, and Kurt's Meats (I can't find their link).
There is pumpkin spice EVERYTHING floating about, and I am not sad about it. I got the first PSL in the form of a frap. YUM! Anker made some pumpkin waffles, and they are really good!!
Of course...I love me some sunflowers!!! There were some beautiful sunsets this year....:) I wish I could have caught them all; and/or done them justice!
...and now, for the surprise!
I have a new job! I am working with our local health authority, and I started after the Labour Day weekend. I had the interview online, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got the call to say that I had the job! H was the first to know, since I was looking after the boys when they called. Ha! It is a mix btwn a desk job, and driving around the community. I am starting my 4th week tomorrow! I have my own (mostly) office, ID/badge, parking pass, email, voicemail, cell phone, I work downtown, I get in a walk every day, plus my job is very interesting. Lots to learn, and VERY different than what I am used to. This is my first real office job (though I have worked at call centres before, so I guess that is kind of like an office job), so that is a new thing as well. It is s temporary position, which will probably be for a few months or so, or it could be longer. It is M-F 830-430, which is great, and kind of a first (at least in ages!). Other than my 12 hours shifts a few years ago, I hadn't worked 8 hours in a long time! It is a lot of getting used to (my evenings are usually me watching tv, and the weekends have me being VERY lazy!). I am finding that I am very tired at the end of the day. I mostly just watch tv, I might run an errand or two, or say to to K and the boys on the way home, and then I am home for the night. I don't even go to the library much anymore! I am also finding that I am giving things that I don't fully enjoy. I have given up on reading some of my less favourite magazines, I don't clean as often as I should (but I do do laundry!), nor do I go out as often to socialize. I am joking that I am just working, eating, sleeping, and watching tv :) It is a union, which is good, and the $ is a blessing as well! My co-workers are nice (we are actually different divisions, but we share a building), but we all kind of do our own thing. I am very thankful for this job, and I am excited to see how the Lord uses me in the new position, and how long He he has and wants me there for!
