Hello! It's been a while since I last wrote, bum slap to me.
It's been a busy last 2 weeks, and a fun one. Here's what I've been up to:
I went out with Judy for dinner last week. We went to a place near Erin Mills called Axia. It was nice, but we did so much talking that I didn't really pay much attention to the restaurant or food. It was a great time, thanks for coming Judy!
Another exciting thing is that I got a Wii. My very own Wii to play and enjoy. I've been playing the new Zelda, which is pretty great. I've only put a few hours into it so far, but I should have more time next week. I've review it all for you then.
While on the topic of Wii, I have to mention Nintendo's marketing of the machine. I have to hand it to them for how they are promoting it. They're try to reach a very broad audience, you know, the 8-88 year olds type of thing. I have to say though, that so far they have been pretty successful. They had a rep. in Walmart yesterday who was demonstrating the Wii, and you should have seen the demographic of the crowd. A 40ish year old man was teaching a 65+ man how to play bowling. There was young, and old, male and female, all asking when they could buy one.
Another cool thing that happened to me: I got a package in the mail the other day, opened it up and found 4 DVD movies inside! I won the Toronto After Dark prize pack! I can't wait to watch them.
Other than all that, there's been a lot of work. I've made a new training package at work, and I think it's a pretty good start. I've seen the newbie servers using it, and filling it out.
Today is my mom's Bday, and tomorrow is my staff's Christmas party. I hope they have a fun time, although I'm sure they will because it's an open bar!
On the family front, Nonna Connie hasn't been well. She's been very weak since her surgery, and now the doctors said that she's had two mild strokes. She lost some movement in her left hand, but I think it's coming back. She also needed a blood transfusion the other day. I hope she gets bettter from here, I think her body's got another few years in it at least. Today we're also celebrating her 90th Bday, which is exciting. Now, I'm off to get ready for that. Hope all is well, and just so you all know, you're all invited over one week today for Chocolates Making and Wii Playing Day!
