Ok, I'm flipping through the channels and I see my friend Oprah.
Normally I wouldn't stop, but today she's interviewing a Muslim woman. Interesting enough.
This woman is talking about her faith and the similarities to Christianity.
Then Oprah asks,
"Do Muslims believe in God?"
WTF? Are you kidding? Do you believe in God???
What the heck?
Argh.

I GOT THE JOB!
W00T!
So the big news is I got a full time grown up job!
Yes!
Starting February 5th I will be the Project Coordinator of the RISE (Reducing Incidents fo Sexual Exploitation) for Youth, the same project I helped create last year when I was a student at WAYS.
My job will include lots of public education surrounding young people in the sex trade (what people mistakingly call "youth prostitution"). And I'll be travelling all over Western Ontario!
As well, I'll be heading up the team creating new posters (the one on the left was what we created last year) and a video game.
Besides that, I get my own office, and I'm in the process of picking out a new laptop.
Best of all, this means (drum roll please) I'm moving out! I love my parents, but trust me, it's time.
Yea!

Run, Don't Walk.
Ok, so during my hiatus from blogging my fabulous parents gave my sisters and I an equally fabulous gift.
Dinner at Jump, a night at the Intercontinental in T.O. and...TICKETS TO SEE WICKED.
HOLY CRAP.
Now, I'm a fan of musical theatre, I don't find it odd or bizarre when people start bursting out into song, there's something reassuring about it. No matter what's going to happen, you know that someone is going to start singing a catchy tune in a minute or two.
Sigh. It was fantastic.
For those of you who aren't in the know about musical theatre Wicked is a fabulous musical that originally starred Kristen Chenoweth (of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown) and Idina Menzel.
Menzel won the Tony for her performance as the Wicked Witch of the West in Wicked, and she's married to Taye Diggs. Sweet deal.
Anywho, Wicked is freaking amazing. It tells the story of the Witches of Oz. Let's just say that the age old stereotype of the ugly witch being the mean witch is broken. Beautiful!
So, if Wicked makes an appearance in your town, which it will. It's immense popularity means it will start touring North America a la Rent. Run and get tickets.
We were in second row (which I don't recommend for young children or people afraid of flying monkeys, like my mother), and it was FANTABULOUS.
Great music, very funny and an awesome message.
P.S. If you liked Rent you'll recognize Elphaba's voice, it's Maureen.
Back To Work!
Alright, so after some nice time off at home I, as well as Tracy, are back to our regularly scheduled lives.
Happily, Tracy was in London last week and had an angioplasty. It went well, the surgery, that is.
If you don't know this woman and are ever in charge of making sure she stays put long enough to recover, here are some tips:
1. Keep Her Hydrated: This is a helpful tip whenever anyone is in recovery, however, be warned of frequent trips to the bathroom.
2. Sugar Levels: I learned last week that your optimum sugar level should be at a 7. Let's just say she was working her way towards that figure.
3. Bruises: I don't know what it was with this woman, but she likes to show me her bruises. That was a little much. So if you're helping her out, please be warned that she might gross you out.
4. Keep Her Down: This woman has an uncontrollable urge to get up and try and help out. This is annoying. Keep her down. I did this by lacing her tea with a sedative.
5. When She Starts Getting Loud Take This As A Sign: Alright, when she starts talking loudly, making me uncomfortable, bringing up my career aspirations from my childhood I know that she's doing better.
Feel better!!! And stay off your feet!!!
