So....after being totally freaked out that I was late (EVERY YEAR that gets me, every year!!) I have now put all my clocks back the requisite one hour. Hopped into the shower while I put the coffee on to brew, out of shower, in my robe feeling luxuriously clean and moisturised, caffeine in hand, open the blinds to see what the day has in store for me
and BAM
Welcome to October in Calgary.....it's a winter wonderland out there! And still snowing. And I don't own a proper snow proof coat. And I don't own a hat. And I've lost my gloves (been talking about getting new ones for months now).
It's making me feel strangely Christmassy though, I've got all those "walking around the Christmas tree...la la la" type songs in my head. And it's not even Halloween!!!
[As an aside, I really miss Halloween in school, drawing witches flying through the moonlight over a darkened row of houses - you know the idea]

so...ummmm.it's been a while
How the devil are you all??
I've been a busy bee in the last month. I went home to Ireland for my cousin's wedding (photos on flickr) which was GREAT. It was lovely to get home to see the parentals and the two kids and it was also great to meet up with the extended family which I don't do too often. We stayed two nights in a hotel in the wesht which was a nice break for us all. The week FLEW by, but I did manage to buy not one but TWO dresses (including a nice blue one, so I'm all set for Fran and Kris's upcoming BIG DAY).
Since I've got back to Calgary I've not actually had a day off work, which sucks but (GEEK) I'm also really enjoying the work. And that's pretty much all I've been doing - just in the door at 11.40pm!!! It's kind of nice for the ego to be working on deals that are getting lots of press coverage though.
I actually don't have much more to add than that really....I'm not sure when my last day here will be, but it's rapidly approaching :-( I'll really miss it here, it has proven to be exactly what I needed and I've made loads of new friends and feel like it's done wonders for my confidence (I know there's some of you out there who probably think I don't need any help in that area at all!!!)
So...hopefully I'll be back to more frequent updates in the life of the moon. Tell me your stories!
