ooh baby I love your way

So this weekend was good! Here's why:

*On Friday, Rob got officially hired on to RIM away from the placement agency. This means a raise, job security and most importantly: BENEFITS. Can you say dollar for dollar RRSP matching? yes. oh, yes.

* Mom and dad came up this weekend and we hung out, ate and went second hand shopping
* we then all went out to London to visit C&M, and we ate and hung out more!

* The guppies were born! And many of them survived. Poor mama guppy would labour, birth a little tiny baby (they came out bent in two) and they would last an average of 1-6 seconds before one of the males would swoop in and eat it. The ones she birthed while the males were distracted or too full or something lasted longer. If they got more than 10 seconds of life, then they would figure out that they should dart away from everything. Before that and they were little McSnacks for their two dads. It was sad and cool, at at the same time. We thought we had about 8 left but I can now see about 11 that are definitely from the other day. So, we officially have a brood. Anyone want a fish tank starter kit??

My thesis proposal mark came back and the comments said what I thought they would say, and the mark was good. So, now my task is to make it actually happen. *Gasp*

Lastly, R and I are going to see if we like to play squash together, since he scored a graphite racquet for a dollar when we were shopping with mom and dad. Booking the courts are free so as long as we go, it might be a nice activity for us.

So, a good weekend. Gotta keep the good times rolling with academic plans and stuff like that. Ethics clearance, here I come! (gotta get ethics clearance if you are talking to people for your thesis, and boy howdy, will I be talking).

ciao!
