Matchmaker, Matchmaker.....

Ok as I sit back and reflect on my life I realized something....I'm one hell of a matchmaker. LOL Yep that's right, just call me Cupid. It started back last summer (Jan correct me if I'm wrong...lol) where my first match made in heaven began. My dear cousin Janet was single...my dear friend Adam was single. I tried to match the 2 up before but had no such luck. I invited them to my place for a bbq hoping I would see love in the air. Instead I seen dead silence....nothing...not a spark. lol Ok so maybe I played it wrong and put them both in an awkward situation but I tried :( So as a second attempt I thought maybe booze would help...ya know, a lil liquid courage for the shy type. lol So one night Jan was having a lil party at her place and by fluke Adam decided to visit me that very day. I mentioned the party to him and said he should come....he was hesitant and said maybe. So I'm up Jan's not thinking twice about Adam and bleep bleep...(that's an msn messenger chime btw lol) Jan's computer monitor turns orange. It's Adam. "Weird" Jan says, "he never talks to me". lol He asked her for her address and said he was on his way down. OMG I almost died....I didn't think he would ever do something so daring. lol Few minutes later there he is. Needless to say it's been bliss for the two of them ever since that night. They are both great people who are perfect for each other (and I knew it all along!!! lol) So my second attempt at love was for my very own little sister Kim. She dated some boys in the past that didn't live up to my standards as an older sis so I was on the search!!! lol On one of my many trips to Edmonton, my other sister Aimee had introduced me to her boyfriend's friend Charles...aka Chuckie. lol He was a nice boy, well grounded with good morals. (ok Chuckie you can pay me now for the words you just made me say...hahhaah kidding) In all honesty...he was a great catch! So as I got to know him better I knew he would be great for Kim. They are a alot alike and both single!! Score! lol So I fly home and tell Kim all about him. She is intrigued. So I plan a trip back to E-Town but this time I bring Blue (aka Kim lol) As soon as they seen each other I knew it was a match!!!! I did it again!! God I AM GOOD! LOL So now I have to listen to the multiple texting and lovey dovey chats they have together....gag me! lol How many days till he arrives Blue??? lol Yes, she has a countdown to when Chuckie visits Nova Scotia....and no Chuckie...you don't need a passport. lol So as I sit and think about the wonderful matches I've made in the past year I ponder.....Why can't I put my skills to good use on myself?? lol Darn it...I guess it doesn't work that way!!! Who wrote that dreaded Book of Love anyways??? lol Well I guess I'll just sit back and wait for cupid to shoot me in the butt.....lol Until next time...

A Glimpse at 2007...wow where did the year go???

Ok so I haven't been on this site since my last post which scary enough was exactly one year to the date....all by mere coincidence. 2007 came and went as fast as the seasons change and as everything else in life, my life has of course evolved as well. It was a good year, interesting to say the least. The highlight of the year was definitely my new job. After long weary months of waiting to get called back to Citizenship my career path suddenly made a turn...for the better! I applied for a job with Air Canada Jazz here in Sydney. Always loving the airline industry from working with United I thought I would take a stab at it. After another long wait thinking I blew my chances, I get a call. I have to go for an interview. Super...I'll do it. Well I get there and am interviews by 2 lovely ladies (as if I'm not intimidated enough with the presence of 1 lol) So the interview goes well (I studied up on Air Canada let me tell you lol) Then they decide to give me an over-the-phone interview with a french lady from Montreal....and yes I have to speak French. lol So the interview is over and I leave frustrated thinking I blew it and continued my life as it was. Few weeks later I get a call and have to go for a drug test and medical exam.....yahoooo!!! So they fly me and my now partner in crime Wendy off to Halifax for the tests. Again, we wait and we wait and we wait...thinking Oh my God...did we not pass the tests??? lol Then the call comes in....we both get the jobs! Soooo excited at this point especially hearing of our sweet sweet flight discounts. lol So I quit my current job directing traffic for NSPower and head back to Sydney. They sent us both away for 2 weeks training in London, Ontario and what a blast that was! We made great friends, had an amazing instructor, ate great food, drank great alcohol, all while learning how to work for the airline...lol. So we started work back in July and things are insanely overwhelming...sooo much to know!! I'm still spinning around trying to get a grasp on things...lol Then they send me away AGAIN for 2 more weeks in London but this time my partner is not coming :( So I went and pass with flying colors and had another great time in YXU lol. The weekend I was there I decided to be daring and use one of my flight passes and take off to Edmonton for 2 days. Glad I did, it was the best weekend I had in a long time! We partied and laughed and had a blast! I made it back just in time for class on Monday...lol Thank GOD!! lol So as the days go by things are good...no big news to share..nobody got married or had babies...that I know of that is! lol Some heart breaking news was that my best friend lost her baby at 7 months pregnant :( It was devastating news, she was having a girl...I was going to be an "auntie" again. But we live by the saying that everything happens for a reason and thankfully we cope. RIP baby Kira. So the summer flies by and I decide to take another jaunt to Edmonton but this time with my sis. We go and have another great time and during our stay she meets the love of her life...Chuckie :) So the summer comes to an end and sadly enough I never stepped foot into the ocean.... :( Always next year I guess. So the fall comes and Jean Guy and I drive down to Massachusetts for a wedding. We shopped till we dropped, went to the most enchanted wedding (and I say this because it took place in a castle...lol lucky shits) and just had a wonderful time. So Air Canada decides to send me all by my lonesome to Vancouver for some Cargo training! So I obliged. I went and stayed at a kick ass hotel with the sweetest room I've ever been in. Met some more great friends, one of which took me downtown Van to see the sites....wow what a beautiful city, I was breath taken. Anyone who has never visited should do so at least once before they leave this world. It's totally worth it! I also manage to slip another 2 weeks in Edmonton where I helped Aimes decorate for Christmas and Winter plan her trip home. So it's now Winter (ughhh I shiver as I say it lol) and Winter is coming home...lol Wow that sounded weird. lol So I fly her home on one of my passes (well she almost made it all the way) but has to make some changes in her itinerary...needless to say she made it!! :) So Christmas comes and goes as it always does...and at least Wint is here for a little while. It's now January....I'm still loving my job especially the "easy on the eyes" pilots I get to see everyday...hahahaha....let's not go there! lol I managed to get in another trip away to Ontario to see my friend Robin last weekend and boy did we have fun! I'll skip the juicy details for another day. lol Hmmm I seemed to omit my love life from this post...another year another confusing head on my shoulders. Boys Boys Boys....what are we going to do with them??? Sometimes I wish I could just hop on a plane and take off for a few days and not have to think or worry about anything.......oh wait.....I can do that! hahaha Kidding. Those who know me know how confusing my love life is so I won't bore those who might actually be reading this. What I have learned from 2007 is not to be scared to try new things, meet new people and see new sites. I'm no longer afraid to try "out of the ordinary foods", travel alone, make new friends, even if they live across the country and what a beautiful country it is. Be spontaneous....it's fun! Live life to the fullest and travel as much as you can! Well ladies and gents this is a final boarding call for me....hope you enjoyed the flight.....until next time :)

PS. Throughout the year of 2007 I partied with Janet and we had fun!! LOL ;)
