Back @ it...
I was back at the gym tonight after nearly a week off due to flu like symptoms...yuck! I ran three miles so I wouldn't over do it. I will probably feel the effects of it anyway. I'm kind of bummed b/c there is this thing going on tomorrow at the CN tower. They are doing a benefit to raise money for the WWF of Canada and no it's not the World Wrestling Federation it is a group that helps fight global warning I guess....but they are doing this thing where you climb to the top of the tower. It is 1776 steps to the top. It would be cool to do but you have to raise $50 to do it and I didn't find out about it until tonight. Oh, well at least we know about it and can probably do it next year. Wish Jordan was here to do it with me. He left for NYC this morning and is probably currently waiting for players in the locker room to get quotes before he heads back upstairs to write the rest of his story. He is at Yankee Stadium for the first time today which is pretty cool. Anyhoo, Barkley and I are hanging out at home. Sent off a bunch more resumes today some at a law office and other office assistant positions.
I found out that if I want to work in a dental office in any aspect, even if I want to wash their floors I have to get a physical by an immigration doctor. So that's my next step... We'll see where this all leads me.
Tomorrow I might go explore the area around our house a little more if it is nice. That was so hard to do b4 b/c it was so cold, but now it has been warming up. I have a gift certificate for Pier One that one of my favorite sister - in - laws gave me for my birthday so I might head over there. Good luck on the triatholon training melissa! You can do it! I'm so proud of y0u!
Well, I think it's time for some on demand movies!

Paddle Ball
My mom has this crazy tradition of buying us each a paddle ball for Easter. We usually play with them for 1/2 the day until we break them or knock something over. We got them this year as well but haven't had time to play with them until today. Jordan got home from work today and started telling me about how awesome his Mom was at paddle ball. Here is Jordan 3 minutes before he broke my paddle ball loose from it's string!
Job hunt is still going on. I have located quite a few prospects so tomorrow I will be sending out my resumes. Wish me luck. Jordan leaves friday for a week long road trip. YUCK!

I just kept on running...
Well, running day 3 went well. I'm a little sore this evening. I thought I'd start it off slow and only do 3 miles. My time has gotten a little better everyday. Poor Jordan had to take the day off today b/c he was too sore. Hopefully tomorrow he will get back at it.
Blue Jays lost today, Boo!!
Busy day tomorrow! Tehe! Groceries are being delivered between 7:30-9:30 and then we will finally have TV when the guys comes to hook it up between 11-2!! Yeah on demand! I love it. I'm a movie freak so it's nice to get to pick one when you wanna watch it and not have to go to the video store. I got hooked at my parents house b/c they have it but when I was in Florida we had it in the condo.
No job yet. . . Still looking.

Opening Day!!!
Today I went to the opening day of the Toronto Blue Jays. Blue Man Group did the national anthems on pipes in the outfield which was by far the best version I have ever heard. I got stuck between two huge guys and for 1/2 an inning it felt like my plane ride back to Toronto, smooshed. Then some people were in the wrong section and after they moved we had a little breathing room. I got stuck in a rowdy section, which was a lot of fun. People got thrown out!
Jays won it 6-3. Good start!

Oh, Canada....
Yes, we are back in Canada. After struggling as always to get into Canada, we are finally here. The day I left Tampa started off with a bang. The luggage guy placed me in the wrong, long line to get my ticket at the counter and as I was almost up to the lady she shouts all international tickets must be obtained at the next counter. GRR! I moved down to another long line and struggled to keep Barkley away from everyone while we waited in line. Poor guy looked at me through the wholes in his crate with sad eyes that seemed to scream not this again.
Next came security which was about a 45 minute wait of winding through lines like at Great America except that the ride at the end of the wait wasn't nearly as fun. The first plane ride was fine, but the second one was awful. It was a small plane and the ride was very bumpy and I of course couldn't get the seat by myself. I waited for the person to show up to sit next to me and I cringed as I saw his massive body heading towards me. "Looks like this is my seat," he said as he sat down pretty much on top of me. Luckily it was only an hour flight. Once we arrived at Customs the lady seemed pretty nice, but then she sent me to immigration. They asked if I knew why I was there and I said I don't know why they sent me here. When Jordan and I were denied entrance back in June it stayed on our record and therefore everytime we enter Canada from now on we have to go to Immigration.
Poor Barkley! He was waiting for me by the baggage claim all of this time. I get to him and people are standing all around him and he's barking like craaaazy! He sees me and stops. I try to take him out of his cage and people swarm me and say you can not take that dog out here. GRR! more frustration. As I'm leaving they want to see Barkley's rabies records. He is such a little pupster but after carrying him in his crate, my suitcase, a duffle bag and my carryon I was beat. I finally make it outside to find the shuttle and the lady sells me a ticket, but when the bus arrives they won't take me b/c of Barkley. I try to get a cab and no body will take me b/c of Barkley. Finally, a cab says he'll take me for 10.00 extra for the dog. I was so beat that I said fine, I didn't care how much it cost. I just wanted to be at home.
We walked in the front door of our apt. and we crashed onto the bed for a few hours. What a fiasco. I never want to travel by plane with a dog anymore...Not fun. I have a huge bruise on my leg from his cage.
After spending two nights by myself Jordan returned. We have restarted our work out routine and have successfully completed day 2. We did 3 miles each day. We don't want to overdo it.
2 nights ago we had a visitor. Jordan's friend Kelly who is the Twinns writer and used to go to MSU with him was here and we went out to one of Jordan's favorite places in Toronto, Milestones.
Today is opening day and guess who has a ticket! yeah me. Jordan got it for me as an Anniversay present. Yes he knows our wedding anniversary isn't until may, but as of April 2 we have been together for 7 years! Nuts. I'm out in the outfield and I have never sat there before. There are supposed to be a lot of people there tonight. I am excited to see all of the rennovations to the Park. Also, Blue Man Group is doing the National Anthems which should be pretty cool! Well, that's all for now...Catch ya later!
