Back in Business

I'm one exams, back home, and very excited for the up-coming week. This past weekend was fun-filled as usual. Jen, mom, and I took off to Toronto (my new 2nd home) to attend a conference. It was the "I Can Do It!" conference hosted by hayhouse. For anyone who hasn't had the enjoyment of reading or seeing one of their authors, they sponsor spiritual writers and some pretty amazing people.
For example Sylvia Browne (as seen on Montel Williams every wendsday) and many many more!
It was a great day. Especially because we opted to go for the entire day and see several speakers before attending the main part (sylvia). The first keynote speaker was great. She was basically a comedian that had a lot of advice for how to appreciate your life. I feel my family is full of appreciation, but reminders are always a great thing. This fact is likely the fuel for my self-help reading fire :)
The second speaker was a psychic medium (very similar to John Edwards on tv). It was neat to see people connecting with lost loved ones. I'm not sorry that we were not read, because we are well aware that our loved ones are still around. We don't need validation.
The third speaker was a past life regressionist. She was interesting, and we all got a very different experience from it. The whole thing was a little surreal, but not a waste of time. If nothing else, it allowed you to relax deeply and meet some other interesting people. Interaction is normally a big fear of mine, but it's a little more comforatable when people have something in common, and are less judgemental then normal. Our mini-group consisted of Jen and I, as well as a principle, a psychologist, a nurse, and another women (I forget her proffession but she was very friendly).
Sylvia Browne's presentation was very similar to the last time we saw her, but enjoyable just the same. I think she'll retire from the big picture soon cause she ws crankier then usual. Very short with people who asked silly questions. All in all, the day was worthwhile, and Long!

Besides that, I have spent the last few days figuring out how to fit two house-fulls of stuff into one tinsy tiny bedroom. Unfortunatly, my current bed is gigantic and takes up about 3/4 of the space in my room. I have solved a bit of the space issue by purchasing a futon (folding couch-bed) and putting my dresser into my closet. I'm hoping by the time I ave it all set up, I might have some room to breath, and possibly fit a desk if required. This breathing room seems necessary if I will be spending a disproportionate amount of time in my room (studying) starting in september. It will be a new experience trying to handle university (Masters!) work load while living at home.

Thanks to everyone for being patient with my non-blogging. Hopefully I can get back into the groove now that summer is almost here (besides the bit of snow-hail that fell this morning!).

Looking forward to Brianne visiting (fellow blogger--if I knew how to link I would!) in a couple weeks :)
Hoping they don't do anything too exciting that I will feel left out all week, as I start my new job on Monday! and will be working that week.

I'm Back! (tee hee)

1--I think you need to explain to your employer that I'm visiting and that I'm probably going to be the most exciting thing that Toronto's ever seen

2--if that doesn't work, I promise not to do anything exciting if you aren't there

3--when I get there...I'll show you how to link ppl :)

4--I need to email you people so that I know who I'm looking for at the airport

5--If I have to...I will discuss my appearance in the north country, how it's limited to a week, and if that doesn't do anything...well...I might have to call in a few favors :P
