The Cutest Thing Since Sliced Bread

On Friday I went out with some friends from trivia night, which was super fun (despite the fact that, apparently, they are all lawyers). I learned, to my intense delight that the pub we go to for trivia, isn’t the only pub in Stellies that has a trivia night. This means that I could potentially go answer random questions with strangers for 3 nights of the week!!! I honestly don’t think life could get much better than this (yes I do, if they had Tim Horton’s and I had friends to play Trivial Pursuit with in it) and I most certainly don’t know how I lived before this. I could legitimately move to SA for this reason alone.

As fun as Friday night was I had to be in bed by 10 (which ended up being closer to 11:30) to get my much needed somehow never successful beauty rest due to the fact that I had to get up at 6 Saturday morning. Yes, morning. Supervisor’s son and a friend were going diving for crayfish, so my officemate (OM) and I tagged along thinking we could chill on a sandy beach while they dove. However, getting to the specific diving spot they wanted required an hour long hike on a rocky beach (which was fantastic since I had initially wanted to go on a hike) and then sitting and waiting for them on more rocks. The latter was less fantastic. When we gave up and decided to lug all of their stuff to the sandy area so we could sit comfortably, all we received were complaints because now they’d have to rinse their equipment ‘cause it got all sandy. I know, how could we be so inconsiderate...I did have a lot of fun though :)

Saturday evening I participated in Earth Hour and I hope all of you did, too or we can’t be friends anymore. Then I spent a good three hours talking with OM’s boyfriend and best friend over skype and came to the following conclusion: Belgians are a wonderful people who like pigs and are almost as pretentious about their beer as Canadians.

Then today I spent cooking various things involving rice as outlined below in a sample menu:

Breakfast: vegetable fried rice
Lunch: tuna and rice casserole
Dinner: tomato and balsamic vinegar rice salad with leftover tuna and rice casserole
Tomorrow’s Breakfast: more vegetable fried rice
Tomorrow’s Lunch: still more tomato and balsamic vinegar rice salad
Tomorrow’s Dinner: I think you get the idea.

In between this rice cooking I spent the day lying on the grass drinking coffee and reading...aren’t I just the cutest thing since sliced bread. I finally finished As I Lay Dying, so yay!!!! Took me long enough...
