5月29日 Info on my latest tripSo I'm back from my trip to Manitoba. I signed six new agents. *sigh* I was hoping for eight. What don't these people understand? It doesn't cost them anything and they don't have to do any work. Really now. What's so hard about that? Come on people! I work on commission here! Oh well, can't do anything once someone has made up their minds now, can you?
I put on approximately 4,000 kms in 4 days and covered all of Manitoba. Well, I covered all 22 towns that I was supposed to go to anyway.It was really pretty driving through the small towns. I was really chicken shit to drive through Winnipeg. It's been ages since I drove through a city and so I left it til the end of my trip. Partly cause I was also waking up there and I would have tried to traverse the city during rush hour. Ah, no thank you. I'm too much of a wimp for that now. Must be old age or something, hey?
I ended up at one of our agents place at the end of my trip (Friday night). Now usually I'm lonely between 5pm and 10am the next morning as the places I visit are closed during that time. I don't know anyone and I'm tired. But knowing that I didn't have to do anything until 3pm the next day, I accepted my agent's invite to the casino (which I've never gone to one before) to watch his band play. It was nice for a change. Thank god he was a complete gentleman and babysat me for the next 24 hours. It made my trip end on a good note.
Of course, while I was there I wanted to try drinks that our local bar doesn't serve. So after the fifth drink, I figured that they might not be putting any booze in the drinks. I should have started to be at least buzzed if nothing else. I think I had seven or eight drinks but I didn't even feel them. Not that I wanted to get drunk in a strange city but buzzed would have been nice. When am I ever going to have the chance to drink and not have to think of getting up in the morning to watch Cole? Ha. That's what I thought; not very likely. Ahhh, c'est ma vie!
So after my plane ride, I was tired and just wanted to go to bed. Well, I should have realized that the horseshoe fell out of my ass because I got my first ever ticket on the way home. I have never, EVER been pulled over before and *thank god* I wasn't going my usual mach 4 or I would have lost my license for sure. The fine is only $113 so it's not like it's a big deal but now I can't say that I have a 10 year + blemish free record. I deserved it tho....
I was so happy to see Cole in the morning. He was soooooo excited! But his appearance has changed slightly since I left. He's been kissed by the sun. He has my freckles! This kid was born without a mark on him. Nothing. And now he's developing freckles on his sweet face. I never would have thought about him getting them before. So cool!
I've realized how much I love my life and everyone that's in it. Guess that's what happens when you spend a week virtually by yourself-you over think things a lot. There's nothing like my family. And when I say family I'm not just talking about my blood relatives. My "family" consists of people I can trust and trust me back. You know the ones...you can call at 3am and know they'll come running no matter what? Just like you'd do for them? I've never had this type of network before and I am greatful everyday for each and everyone of them. I just hope that I can return the favor at some point. What kind of person would I be if I didn't?
Gotta go though, supper's almost done and I'm *gasp* (shock) am STARVED! Catch ya later amios! Ciao.
