Stupidly Tired

So the last couple days have been more eventful than the last couple months.

I had my group interview at Chapters on Monday, where I found my good friend, Natalia there for the same interview. We spent a good deal of time talking, as I never see her, even though she lives all of three blocks away from me (maybe not even that). The interviewer was nice, though I got the impression that he was nervous about speaking to so many at one time. He just kept talking...Mostly about how he'd just moved from Toronto and how beautiful Victoria was. It was a little odd, that's all. We're supposed to get a call on Monday to let us know if we're invited back for a second interview or not, which is nice. Though I'll be in a car for most of Monday, on my way back from Prince George.

Bonnie came over after work yesterday, and offered up her opinion on some of the clothes I bought on Sunday. I ended up returning one of my skirts, but then promptly buying several shirts and a pair of shorts in its place. I spent way too much money on stuff. I know I needed some new things, but I might have gone a little overboard. All that shopping really wore me down though. I got home and just about fell over.

I really love the fact that Old Navy has come to Victoria. So many nice things that fit me, while not pricey like Addition-Elle. For some reason, Addition-Elle (as well as many "specially sized" stores) assume that because you're overweight, you're rich. Old Navy has firgured out that that's not always the case. It's nice to know that I don't have to spend all of my savings to buy some shirts and a pair of pants (though I still like Addition-Elle for some things).

So I think I'm ready for my trip this weekend. Dan's mom is picking up our kitty tonight, so that he's not too lonely, and tomorrow, we're all (me, Bonnie and Dan) taking the bus up to Nanaimo in the evening, crashing for the night, and taking off for Prince George first thing in the morning.

I can't wait!
