Meteor shower

It's been a good day. Well, at least Wednesday was.

Work was alright. We went out to Acton to do benthic invertebrate sampling but it didn't seem to work that well so it was a very short trip. Then we played with Anne's kitten (detour) and then we made our way back to the lab. Nothing particularly interesting happened in the lab apart from watching Confessions of a Shopaholic and Homeward Bound as we counted our samples. I worked a full day today, the way I used to work last summer. Last summer I worked 40 hour weeks...now I work 20. Today I worked ~8 hours. Heh. It felt productive even though it fried my brain a bit from all that staring. Afterwards, I made my way uptown and got a strawberry and creme frappucino which was delicious! Then, at Juniper I just chit-chatted with Chelsie and bought a brush set and a present for Laura's birthday. both were very good buys...especially the brush set because Chelsie was kind enough to let me in on how they had mispriced those and were then selling them for like a quarter of the price practically. It is amazing...and useful!

Dinner at Rohan with Josh was very yummy of course...lamb is exciting. Actually, meat is exciting in general. I went food crazy half of Wednesday. Snacks throughout the day as I worked...always hungry...wanting to eat more and more. I tell ya, having had my wisdom teeth taken out made me miss food A LOT. I hope I do not ever get fat. Josh said not to say that I will NEVER be fat. I really highly doubt I will be and I generally have a lot of willpower and care a lot about how I present myself so...I guess it is more appropriate to say that I have a very slim chance of getting fat. Although he made a good point of how even though nobody in my family history is fat (apart from those married in MAYBE) they never lived in the United States. Food here is very different (definitely agree) and I eat a lot. Then again, my daddy eats a lot and he's fine. Although my mommy has gained weight, it's mostly due to the timing of Luke's birth. I think I've got the gene pool on my side for this one....suuuure hooope sooo... It'll be good to continue being active though. This is why I should get a doggie when I am fully independent and older because it will keep me active...or that's what I would think. Maybe if I get a clearance puppy like from Marley and Me I will be running around all over the place.

Hung out, and then went to see the Perseids meteor shower and star gaze at Hueston Woods. There was this really annoying boat that would periodically flash its lights around...that was a little distracting. Otherwise, the meteors were beautiful and we managed to use children constellation books to identify a couple stars and constellations. That was pretty fun. Tonight definitely made up for the total fail of seeing Perseids last summer. That was a Total Fail and the circumstances most certainly ticked me off...but I don't want to get into that right now...I doubt I'll forget.

Apart from occassional moments of feeling sorta quiet, it has been a very good day/night. I should sleep soon...I work for a couple hours and then I'm off to the Outlet mall with Lauren! Should be a fun bonding day <3 as it has been forever <3.

Sigh. Goodnight!

EDIT:
The Perseid meteor shower is so named because meteors appear to fall from a point in the constellation Perseus.

Good to know.
