I'm in! Any night after work is great for me (other than Friday - I go to the ferry; oh, and Tuesday I watch Amazing Race but I could be convinced to skip that for cupcakes and digsters and anyway it starts at 10).

wait a minute...let me get this straight. You were working/living in Victoria, Mr. Natalie was working in Vancouver. Mr. Natalie finds a job in Victoria, he moves there. Then you start working in Vancouver....?

Almost. I arranged to work in Vancouver so that I could be at home with him. A week before I started my new gig in Van, he gets a job in Victoria. A month later he started the job so we did have a month together in the same house. Of course I couldn't change all the plans 1 week before I was supposed to start, soooo... Anyway I will be back in Victoria in November and there is a very definite possibility of a real job there starting in January when I am called to the bar.

If it wasn't funny I'd cry.

Ok, now for Monday... I am so excited! Beach, you'll know me because I'll be the dork among all the shorts and sandals wearing a freakin' suit in July. Yam will be the one dispensing medical and craft advice on the streetcorner, and Jazz will be the one running up to people and asking if she can redecorate their houses...

I finish work around 5:00ish so do we want to meet around 5:30? Or do people want to go home for dinner first? (I will just go shopping in the meantime if that's what you want to do).

What time are we meeting? I am off in about 1/2 an hour on the ferry and won't be back until Sunday night, so I'll check on Monday...

Actually maybe one of you can email me with the time at:

Yep, there's one in Bellis Fair (at least there was when I last went there >5 years ago).

I'm up for a roadtrip to Target... I'm not particularly anxious to go back to the US so soon but Target and Digsfolk together is _very_ tempting.

Yam, I'm very impressed - staying strong in the face of such cute, tasty cupcakes is not easy!

Yay! Congratulations, jazz!! I hope this takes some stress off you and G... Tell us all about the new job!

And I second yam's suggestion of tarjay, tarjay, tarjay!!!

My new job is as a wedding planner! I'm going to start out assisting and shadowing, but the ultimate goal for me and for the owner of the company is to have me planning weddings on my own in the next 6-12 months. I'm still in complete awe that such a fabulous opportunty could have just fallen into my lap when many people in this industry work their butts off for years before they get a job. In fact, I'll have people working under me (most of who are either in school learning about event planning, or are trying to get a foot in the door - neither of which I did ) and that's never happened before!!! I thought that I was applying for an assistant job or as an event decorator (I will be specializing in decor), but she wants me to eventually be a partner with her and another girl. My gawd. I can't believe this!

As for things with G, if anything, this complicates things. Now unless this job doesn't work out, I won't really have the option of moving to Victoria at all. We had been talking about living together if he gets a summer job outside of Victoria or Vancouver, but now I won't be able to do that. But, I'm still flying on the idea of the job, so I won't worry about all that stuff right now
