happy birthday to me

Sooooo, yesterday was my birthday and I'm old now. I still get confused when I think about people who are like 23/24 because my automatic reaction is still wow, they are so much older than me. It still takes me a second to remember that I'm in my early 20's too. I swear in my head I am still 17.

So uh yeah, my weather widget says, its -6 right now. With the windchill it feels like -11. Unbelievably cold. I am wearing leggings under my jeans, super thick socks, boots, a turtle neck and a sweater and tomorrow its supposed to be even colder. I guess if you dress properly its bearable to be outside for short amounts of time. The horrifying thing is that Toronto has a homeless population around the size of NYC. I saw a man this morning sleeping in a sleeping bag over a steam vent on the sidewalk. I hope he was okay. Mike says they city tries to round them up when it gets this bad but a lot of them resist. One of my best friends from home is going skiing in Montreal this week. He's nuts. The forecast is -17 there.

So yesterday was kinda uneventful during work. It was snowing again all morning. Cara brought me a balloon for my birthday. :) On my first day they said something about the department having cake for my bday. Yesterday most people were busy so maybe Friday. We had a brainstorming session on Crystal Light for most of the the morning and then in the afternoon I did a lot image searching for Motorola.

After work I went out for dinner with Cara and her friend Jen. We went to Little Korea and had Korean food which I've never had before. It was good and different. Toronto has one of the largest Asian populations any where in North America. There's a "little" everything here of pretty much any nationality you can think of. After dinner we went and browsed around in a used book store. They had a lot of good deals but I didn't get anything. When I got home my relatives gave me and card and some money so that was really nice of them. And there were flowers and a teddy from Tom <3.
