More good news in Strangers camp!!!

Yeah....seems kinda funny...when I was in the Back Forty nothing seemed to go right for me..and now, all these good things have been happening which is super cool. For instance, recently I had received a huge compliment from the bosses at work, saying I'm a asset, and there's already talk of giving me a raise. Then yesterday, I had a job interview at a local coffee house here in town, cause lets face it Blogger family, this Stranger likes to keep herself busy, plus its always nice to make a bit extra coin if I can. I got a job as a baker..starting wage is 11.50/hr and in 3 months renegotiate my wage. AND I get to learn from a chef who has his papers! Those who know me know how much I love to bake, and so this job is just perfect! Anyhoo, now I need to get a apartment downtown as this job starts at 5am, and no busses run before 6am, and I don't see myself taking a bloody cab every day you know? So I called a place the other day...turns out they have an apartment that'll be available for April 1st for 450.00/month, so I'm gonna call them and tell them I'll take it....regardless of how it looks cause its only like 2 blocks from the coffee house. Its run by an older couple, so I know it'll be well maintained. Oh, and the baker job pays weekly..direct deposit, so lucky me will always have coin on her. I figured with my full time job with the Uni, plus baking job(at present will run 20-25 hrs a week..mor in the summer), plus part time catering jobs, I should be clocking in cool 3 g's after taxes. Damn....I'll be laughing! As long as I keep myself healthy, cause the way my schedule will run, I will be working 7 days a week. No matter. Not like I had many days off living at home. Like 10 days off all last year. Wish me luck on all this eh?
In other news...I'm still fasting for Easter...some good friends I work with laugh and say, "Ooh..that looks good eh Stranger? Wouldn't you just go for a steak right now?" A little less than a month to go on the vegan diet, but it's all good. In fact I'm getting to that phase where thinking about eating meat turns my stomach, which is wierd, cause I looooove cow!!!! I'm looking forward to returning to my former carnivorous state. In the meantime I have to make sure I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and lentils to prevent my weight from going into a free fall. But, the weight has stabilized, and has remained the same for nearly a week now. Thank god!
I also got a wedding invite from my friends K and V up in Edmonton, tentatively set for September 2...so looks like I might be whooping it up there for a weekend. I'm pretty stoked.
Kinda wierd to haveall this good news to tell ya..inmy other blog I'd be bitchin about everything...I'm sure after Lent I'll have lots of stuff to gripe about, but right now I have to be positive....which I'm sure for my loyal readers is a nice change of pace.
Since I'm in a good mood..heres my Blogger question.... what put you in a good mood this week? Even the smallest, seeminly insignificant thing to outsiders..doesn't matter...let me know. OOh and another question...whats the weather been like in your neck of the woods this past week? Here it was super warm on the weekend..then yesterday we had snow in the morning, followed by a chinook wind a few hours later, and today it should be warm again. Well, the oft quoted expression in my neck of the woods is this,"If you don't like the weather in Lethbridge........wait a few minutes..it'll change." Have a super week!!!
