have yourself a ceiledh

yeah sorry about the spelling folks, i've got a short time on the computer and not enough time to do things. so here's the word. i went to the royal yacht britannia on saturday, oooohh-ahhhh! yes the queens boat, somewhat interesting, but i couldn't tell you anything factual except that she had like 280 crew on her ship. and that they used to fly the royal mail to the ship no matter where it was every day. talk about ozone depletion! so just blame the queen the next time something comes up about greenhouse emissions! no our own govt is to blame as well just a joke peeps, but still so wasteful.

on sunday was the sushi party! yes we made vegetarian sushi with seaweed, it was fab, and chantel made homemade tofu. so everything was great including the wasabi paste we had to dip our stuff in. and the company was great there was about 5 of us there. which by the way, sushi, very difficult to roll, so don't think it was easy. but the raw fish was no where to be seen. after dinner we watched the corpse bride, oh tim burton:)

on tuesday evening i went to a ceiledh, that's not how you spell it but said k-lee. chantel invited me, and we did some traditional scottish dancing, lots of spinning and folk dancing moves, i definately need to work on my waltz and try not to lead! It can be tough though so after 3 hours of dancing i smelled my hands with all my dance partners and they smelled like bowling shoes:( gross. but it was so fun, and i found out i can do this dancing every tuesday night if i want. so good craic.

the new office building has been a bit stressful, well the project has been stressful because there is some feuding within the team and there is a part of the project that has gone terribly wrong. so hopefully it will be remedied tomorrow. oh well, i don't think about it when i go home, it just can be yucky to be there.

well that's about all for now, i am planning a trip to the highlands for myself and my friend Derrick who is coming for a visit in the next couple of weeks.

so Ta for now.

xoxo,
christie

I'm packing my "umbrella hat" so when I'm indoors, I have protection from the permanent rain-cloud that is "downer dave." So I should be okay? If not, I can appease him with fruit cups, 'twill be a gesture of good will.

I'll have to go dancing with you when we go...and I promise to wash properly so as not to be stinky.

I hope the "something that has gone horribly wrong at work" is not a monster that was set loose in the countryside! Sorry, That line just made me think of frankenstein for some reason :D

Oh my, it's like 2 weeks!!!
