August

Bronze statue at Queen Elizabeth Park. I'm no expert but that camera doesn't look digital to me.


August in a nutshell? WORK. I have been work'n for the man almost every day this month. I'm trying to make some cash for some big expenses I foresee in the future (not to mention the big black debt cloud that hangs over my head -stupid student loans). I have also been focusing more on my gluten-free blog (http://www.gluten-freeme.blogspot.com/) feel free to cruise on by. Sorry for neglecting this blog! But at least I have a valid excuse.



I did check out the world famous Gastown Motorcycle Show'n Shine last weekend. Fabulous as ever. Sadly in my haste to catch the bus, I forgot my camera, so there are no pics of that event.


I also had a work dinner at Season's in the Park. It was also my first time eating out since going Gluten-free. I didn't get sick (good), but my meal wasn't exactly gluten-free even though the waiter said it was (bad). The food was very good and the view of the city was amazing. Too bad the pictures don't really capture it. I don't think I've been to Q.E. Park since I was a little kid. I would love to go back.



Random shot of co-workers.
...and Creme Brulee that came with wheat-packed biscotti (definitely not gluten-free) but it was delish!





Me posing with the other bronze statues. I took a bunch of really funny pictures but they didn't turn out very well. I need to figure out how to set the camera for night-time pictures.

As for the other job, I have been working lots, and I'm starting to feel a little bit more comfortable. This week I am at a training course to learn how to de-escalate situations and prevent clients from getting violent. Interesting and useful, plus there have been lots of opportunities for networking with other women working in the field.


Up coming event-day of fun at the PNE! Once again I will convince myself that I will win the prize home only to be disappointed and be forced to live in the ghetto for another year. Stay tuned for pictures.
