thoughts and afterthoughts.

today was a pretty good day. i went to the beach (very briefly) with doug and delanie and their kids, plus andrew. i had to take off early to go to work. i came in to work early because patrick wanted to show me how the music is chosen. we programmed my sunday morning shift, or some of it before my evening shift started. it was pretty cool. i like choosing the songs that are going to play when i am on air. i think patrick wants me to learn so i can be the back up for music programming. also, he wants to change things a little for the easy listening sunday mornings, because the music that is being played currently on that show has some oddball songs that are NOT easy listening. he told me if i bring him some songs that are slow and canadian, we can test them out and add them for the sunday morning shift. i'm REALLY excited about all this.

not only did all that happen, but he also gave me some big compliments on my two interview features i played on the show tonight (food for thought, and marc the movie guru!). i was really proud of myself, because those are both things that were completely my ideas, and my responsibility. i think they work with the show. and i found two fantastic people to help me out with them. jayme, who some of you might be familiar with through her new food blog. and marc, who is a friend of mine from vancouver who is actually in school for broadcasting right now. he also went to vancouver film school for writing, and worked in a production office for a while. he knows movies!! i thought it would be a cool way to add something to my show, as well as give him a chance to be on air a little. patrick has also been telling me a lot lately that i am sounding really good, that i have nice phrasing and i don't talk too fast or too slow. it makes me feel really good about the extra effort i have been putting in lately. i have just been trying harder. and it shows, i guess! and then, just before he left, patrick told me that my bright blue shirt was a fantastic colour. hahaha.

i paired a bright blue tank top with silver sequined lightning bolts with these awesome feather earrings i ordered. they have long black feathers with little peacock feathers with blue and green shimmery-ness. they are beautiful. and look really cool with the tank top.

i guess all in all i feel really good right now. it's a good night. can't wait for my shift to be over... tyler and i are having the enchiladas that are in the freezer (mmmmmm!) when i get home. i am VERY excited for those.

my mom and i haven't cooked much this week (and i don't really have any food left at home... uh oh!). we were supposed to cook yesterday, but then i had to work for them because they had to do a job for a contractor. it was a BIG job with A LOT of scraping. it sucked. and what sucked worse, is that i twisted my knee at roller derby practice on wednesday night, so it wasn't feeling so good. my mom wrapped it with a tensor bandage, and i popped some advil and it was good for most of the day. at the end, it was throbbing pretty good. i iced it that night, and i took more advil... and it's pretty okay today. so that's good. i made a new friend at derby... and she told me to call her and we'll go skating. i'm REALLY excited about this. i need some help. work on my skills.

tyler is working tomorrow, because we're going camping next weekend, and this way he doesn't miss a day on his paycheque. i'm KIND OF bummed about it because saturday is usually our day to hang out together and do whatever. oh well. at least doug's family is visiting and i will have things to do and keep me busy (of course, i could always do the dishes and finish the laundry... but... that isn't fun). we're going to hang out with his friends tomorrow night, matt and kelsey, which should be fun. we haven't really hung out with them... they came to our engagement party, and my birthday party, and tyler and matt go to school together when they do their 6 weeks in class... i like them. for some reason, we just never hang out with them. they invited us over tomorrow night and i am kind of excited about it. i like hanging out with new people. doing something out of the norm.

and finally... the other thing i am excited about... MAD MEN IS BACK ON TV! season 4. so exciting. haha. i love all the glamourous fashion on that show. love love love love!!!!!

... time to focus on the last hour of my show. one more hour. one more hour... and then enchiladas!!
