i'm working at the radio station again. i think after last week when i put in feist instead of miley cyrus, and patrick noticed, he is trying to put in music i actually kind of like. this week the same feist song i added last week was programmed into my time chunk. pretty stoked. apparently its a song our station doesn't normally play. and right at this very moment i am playing yesterday, by the beatles of course. fantastic. i love it.
mostly all i have to talk about tonight is hockey. a local game, and the canucks preseason game of course. luckily tyler keeps me up to date on the canucks... haha... because i actually don't care. if anyone is interested, you can listen to my show here: http://www.1075kiss.com. just click on the listen bubble thing on the right hand side of the screen. i'm normally on saturday nights from about 6:30 till 11. i also take requests occasionally from people i like (winkwink).
things have been a bit better at work; less frustrated. i think it has to do with how well things have been going at the radio station. its looking like i'm going to be getting some wicked opportunities here. i'm hoping i can get enough hours that i can cut back a shift at the fare. which would be WICKED. less sandwich making for me, as patrick would say. he seems to think thats all i do there. which i find quite amusing. i have to say, i much prefer sitting in a room by myself talking about a little bit of this and a little bit of that as opposed to dealing with customers and trying to get a million things done. it suits me much better. a nice fit, if i do say so myself. although, i think i'm far too good looking for radio. HA!
i finally got a foot for my sewing machine! but, for the life of me, i haven't managed to find any time to see if it actually works properly yet. haha. i bought it at a garage sale like 3 years ago, and i haven't ever actually used it. i did try to see if it stitched okay ONCE, but without a foot. the stitches were all loose and gross, but i'm really really really hoping that is just because of the lack of a foot. i might have some tension problems to deal with (mom?). but hopefully i can get sewing pronto. tyler is continuously reminding me that he needs his shorts mended. he ripped them when we were moving. i'm concerned i won't get to them before it is past shorts season. fortunate for him... it looks like it is going to stay pretty warm for a little while longer. it has been beautiful in the okanagan for the last several weeks. gets pretty chilly at night, but the days are wonderful. i love the sun. and it loves me. my freckles are as prominent as ever. it makes for some fantastic bike rides (although, my confession, i've been horribly lazy when it comes to bike riding... but i think my frantic schedule otherwise excuses it).
i really have been wanting to have some kind of exercise for the winter that i know i can make myself do. i really want to learn to swim laps. i can't really swim, at all - i flounder and manage to keep my head above water at best. but there is a woman at work who does triathalons and she knows a guy who teaches people how to swim laps specifically. so i am looking into getting some lessons. any other advice for good winter exercise that isn't snowboarding, skiing, or the gym (i despise the gym - its so boring, and i always feel like everyone is looking at me, which is enough to make me shudder just imagining). i've been working on improving my diet and lifestyle. i'm a rather lazy individual, and i know it isn't healthy. that is ONE good thing about working at the fare - the people there are a wealth of knowledge. and i have developed an interest. before i had nothing.
i'm going to attempt painting in the next couple days. and after there will be pictures. for sure! i'm excited to share how my house is coming along. i spent about an hour cleaning the bathroom on wednesday. scrubbing the walls mostly. i didn't even clean the bathtub or toilet. but the upside to that is it now looks nice and bright instead of dingy and faintly dirty. and is fantastically organized. it makes me happy. my coworker says i'm really obsessive about things. he seems to think it is verging on compulsive. i think its funny. but its true... i have to do everything a certain way, and i have always been like this, for as long as i can remember. having everything cleaned and organized MY way is a big deal. luckily tyler is laid back, and would rather let me do things my way and just go along with it. then he doesn't have to think about it.
mmmmmm... thats about all i got tonight. tune in and listen to me next week! (there might be a hockey game... if there is... sorry!).

1. Bernina's never have tension problems. Its one of their features. Talk to a Singer owner, they are renowned for tension problems.
ReplyDelete2. I could never do lap swimming - the typical over hand stroke - where you breathe under your arm. I had a roommate at BYU teach me how to do the breast stroke which takes less coordination and you don't get water in your mouth when you are breathing.
3. Of course they were all staring at you... have you looked in the mirror? And I hate gyms, too. Why lift up a weight if you are just going to put it down? Why pedal a bike if you aren't actually going any where? And walking is good exercise and you can even do it in the winter.
4. And in case you haven't noticed, having everything organized in just a certain way, is a strong Andrea trait... I used to know exactly how many knives, forks, towels, glasses, etc and where each one went... Then you started taking cutlery to school and I had to give up on the whole thing...
i have a lazy problem too. what about exersize videos? they have funs ones like ones that teach you how to dance. but personally i would swim if i had the chance, over exersize vids.
