Julie saves the day?

One of our surveying launches is down in Port Hawksbury supposed to be doing some surveying, but the coxwain called yesterday afternoon in a panic because they're having GPS problems, so today I'm driving down to save the day! I've never been to Cape Breton or out that way at all, I know Port Hawksbery is technically not Cape Breton, but it's as close as I have come.
As, I'm still pretty new at my job I'm also looking forward to the chance to show what I'm made of. Hopefully all goes well and she's up and running later today!

Any KOLers who may read this, I will not be there tonight... I'm leaving to early to catch todays post.

I am a hermit

This is not at all surprising... I didn't need a quiz to figure this one out.

If only I could find a lovely hermit community to settle in. You know, one with lovely moss on the caves and nice hermit neighbors.


You are The Hermit


Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.


The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.


The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.


The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

This weekend was a write off.

I didn't make it to the Gaspereau Valley Open house on Saturday or to the Sarah Slean concert Friday night because I came down with a bad cold. The weekend was pretty much a write-off, I didn't even feel like knitting!

I spend most of the weekend keeping my eye on the Liberal leadership race, as I do not have cable and that's all that was on my two channels. Stephan Dion took it. He wasn't the favourtie going in, but he took it in the end. I can't say I follow politics closely enough to know the candidates well, but from what I have heard of Dion, I like him. Most of his supporters are younger and I think some new blood is much needed. Will he beat Harper? We shall see...

Now for the good news...
my sister and her husband made it down to New Brunswick from Ontario where they will be for the next month. I'll be joining them there in less than two weeks, I can't wait.

And, one of my best friends announced yesterday that her and her beau are tying the knot! Congratulations Dawn and Chris!

Yet another thing to make me feel old... I can hear my biological clock ticking away. tick.tick.tick.
