Saturday morning starbucks

Well I suppose it isn't much of a morning given that it's 12:20pm.

Right now there is half of me that is completely in love with the current situation I'm in. There is however another half of me that wants to punch me in the face. What situation is that you ask?

Well currently, I'm on my macbook pro sitting in the starbucks at king and uni drinking a $5 coffee. That isn't all, the music playing in the background is very hipster is, I'm wearing a button down sweater and a tanktop with a large necklace. My hair is up in with a ribbon, I'm contemplating life, people watching, just finished registering for an impact/innovation conference and the thing that's worst... I'm writing a blog post.

This isn't something completely out of the ordinary. I do all of these things quite regularly with the exception of the conference. Why am I so torn then? I've never done all of them together. I really want an iPhone now. It would be even better if I pulled an iPad out of my backpack... oh wait hold on, make that a messenger bag. So while I'm partially wanting to kick myself in the face, I think I enjoy this even more. It reminds me of Ottawa... which, I definitely miss dearly. I wish it wasn't such an expensive city to live in. I'd move back in an instant. Though as much as I love it, Waterloo will always be my home.

All this talk about conferences makes me think I should explain them more. I've two on the docket for the next month and a half. The first is TEDxWaterloo which I'll find out if I get approved to go to on the 12th of February (which also happens to be BUGS fudge friday). Don't know what TED is, well no biggie. Check out http://www.tedxwaterloo.com and all the details are there. It's being held in Kitchener at the Gig music hall. I've never been there but I've been told its an amazing building.

The second I already have my tickets for. It's called ignite Waterloo. It's a huge geek conference in the sense that it incorporates all things geeky and fantastic. Here's the website http://www.ignitewaterloo.ca/. It is being held at the Kitchener Children's museum which I have been to. I love it there, it's cute and fantastic. I wonder if they'll have another cupcake decorating contest this time.

Today I have my date with Adrian which I'm so excited about. It's been too long since I've seen him. However, it isn't under after I'm done work and that in itself sucks huge balls. Luckily I'm only there for 4 hours and the store is only open until 6:00.

As I sit in here I keep looking at this one mug and I really, really! want to buy it. I won't however because I'm sure it's $15 and I can get mugs at work for cheaper than normal. Boo starbucks, boo. Why do you make cute things.

Tomorrow then?
