October 7/07

It’s been a great month – from September 7th to October 7th:
September 7th – took posession of our house. It’s a condo townhouse in Mississauga and it’s pretty sweet. Four bathroom/3 bedroom place with a patio. Thank God – it’s been 7 years since I was able to barbecue.
When we took posession they gave us the keys, told us that it was ours. Kat and I were really excited – we go in, put the key in the lock, and open the door. We found that there was someone still in the house – attempting to clean it up as it was a freakin mess. They left quite a bit of stuff in the house and the former owner’s mother was there vaccuming. She told us to leave and come back in 20 minutes….we did. I don’t know why we had to leave as it was our place but we did what we were told.
September 17th – we found out that our baby is healthy! Very cool seeing the ultrasound. The place we went was a pretty shady area but they did the job anyway. We found out the sex of the baby but I’ll let you know what it is next week as my parents don’t know yet – they’d be a little pissed if they found out on my blog….meh, who are we kidding. My parents don’t know what a blog is.
September 14th – I did a comedy competition on Q107 and won a Sony Bravia TV and Home Theatre System. It was between 3 comics, and since the first one hadn’t really done stand-up before, and Dave “2nd Place Always” Paterson was on the show, I had a pretty decent shot at it. Dave had a great set but since he ALWAYS finishes second (except for sex, which while I don’t have first-hand knowledge of this, I’m pretty sure he’s first) the judge decided to award me the tv. Not too shabby for telling 3 minutes of dick jokes.
September 21st – got really drunk and somehow found a way to upgrade my TV. I went out with people from my work and it just so happens that my boss’ boyfriend actually knows the people that are delivering my tv. He said that he’d give me a contact number for the guy to see what he can do to upgrade it!
I phoned the guy and he was a huge help. Instead of the 37″ Rear Screen Projection TV, for $200 I got it upgraded to a 40″ Flat Screen Sony Bravia, which is really about a $900 upgrade. Me was happy.
September 28th – tv was delivered. We drank beer while we hung the tv on the wall.
October 3rd – Ottawa/Toronto tickets? REALLY? My buddy called me up – told me that he had an extra ticket on opening night at the ACC. FOR FREE. As I’m a huge Ottawa Senators fan, I had to go. I was originally going to say no as I was having people over to watch the game on the TV to break it in – but I thought about it and it truly was a no-brainer. I phoned everyone to cancel and I went down to the ACC to watch the Sens win.
October 4th – watched Ottawa beat Toronto AGAIN. This time at my buddy’s place, but it was still good to watch.
October 7th – First Year Anniversary.
Okay, so what’s new – quite a bit!
