February was a mess
Didn't write at all last month. I just didn't realize where last month went, when did it start and when did it finish. I almost forgot the birthday of my friend and I did forget the birthday of my nephew. All because I had lots to do at home, at work, on the phone, on my brain, on emails.
Lots of people lost their job at my work. We, left behind, were dumped all the work they were doing. Also we needed a re-org. I had to remind some people that I had been asking to change position for a while and now seemed like the perfect time. At the time this position was offered, I was also asked to start a new job at my husbands work. Didn't like it after I found out what I had to do so, I accepted the position at my current job. The trick is that I had to close my current position and I was loaded with a couple of projects. Had to work a couple of weekends to put things in place. In the middle of all this, I learned that a good friend of mine has no idea how job gets done by a developer and a product manager. We had a fight, things were said, job is being done, friendship had a crack. Week after next I begin my new job. Moving from one pot of hot water to another pot of hot water.
At home I am adding a new bathroom. Needed a plumber, an interior drywall and tile guy. Found them. The plumber nothing to be too impressed about but the other guy is awesome. That is the kind of husband I would have wanted to have. Because he is doing good job, I think I will do some other renos at home. I had to shop around for tiles, tub, vanity and stuff. Drove a pickup truck couple of times. Made me feel like a Southern girl, just had to change the accent.
Watched some good movies, "Revolutionary road", "Slumdog millionaire", "The reader", "Valkyrie". Kate Winslet got the Oscar for best actress on "The reader". After watching the movie, not sure was deserved. "Slumdog millionaire" got more Oscars than other movies and Sean Penn said "You commy, hommo lovers" twice when he got his Oscar for best actor.
Somehow lost my track on exercising and I feel like I am going back on having a saggy belly. Perfect! Right now that the spring is trying to come and girls will start showing off their flat bellies and good skin.
A little girl named Sophia was born.
Obama visited Canada without a hat or gloves.
Played chess with a guy that has been winning for 10 years. He played against me and his son. We won and was a miracle!
The new quote I liked "Your credit card company, knows 2 years ahead about your divorce".
After all, if I go back and think about everything, this was the kind of month I would like to have. Be busy, have things to do and no time to think of stupid things. Was a mess, but sort of colorful.

Friendships, Flowers and Fights in French
A LA CLAIRE FONTAINE Chant traditionnel À la claire fontaine M'en allant promener J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle Que je m'y suis baigné Il y a longtemps que je t'aime Jamais je ne t'oublierai Sous les feuilles d'un chêne Je me suis fait sécher Sur la plus haute branche Un rossignol chantait Il y a longtemps que je t'aime Jamais je ne t'oublierai Chante rossignol chante Toi qui as le cœur gai Tu as le cœur à rire Moi je l'ai à pleurer Il y a longtemps que je t'aime Jamais je ne t'oublierai J'ai perdu mon amie Sans l'avoir mérité Pour un bouton de roses Que je lui refusai Il y a longtemps que je t'aime Jamais je ne t'oublierai Je voudrais que la rose Fut encore au rosier Et que mon douce ami fût encore à m’aimer Il y a longtemps que je t'aime Jamais je ne t'oublierai À la claire fontaine M'en allant promener J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle Que je m'y suis baigné Il y a longtemps que je t'aime Jamais je ne t'oublierai | AT THE CLEAR FOUNTAIN Traditional song At the clear fountain I went for a walk The water was so nice That I took a bathe I've been loving you for so long I will never forget you Under the leaves of an oak I dried myself On the highest branch a nightingale was singing I've been loving you for so long I will never forget you Sing nightingale sing You with a gay heart Your heart feels like laughing Mine feels like crying I've been loving you for so long I will never forget you I lost my fried Without deserving it For a bunch of roses That I refused from him I've been loving you for so long I will never forget you I would love that the rose be still on the bush And that my sweet friend be still loving me I've been loving you for so long I will never forget you At the clear fountain I went for a walk The water was so nice That I took a bathe I've been loving you for so long I will never forget you |
