It has been quite a while since I've checked in with my blog.  I've been so caught up in the Facebook craze! 

 

I was home for the Easter holiday, and while it was my full intention to spend time with friends I hadn't seen in a while, I managed to dislocate my shoulder on Good Friday following a night out with the girls.  My parents' front step was slick with ice, and down I went, shoulder first, and I heard the crack as my body made contact with the cement.  Cousin Jaclyn drove me back to Halifax and helped to take care of me while I tried to regain my mobility - I couldn't even dress myself!  I must make another trip to the doctor soon as I'm not healing properly and I have a feeling I'll be making a date with a physiotherapist. 

 

However, things are looking up for ole Colleen.  I was finally offered permanent at the Agency.  It took me by complete surprise and of course I accepted, despite putting out my resume to the north.  Not that the north is out of the question, but at least now if I'm offered something, I can make that decision based purely on what I want for myself, and not out of pressure to keep the paychecks rolling in. 

 

And I have come to love this city.  I have my family close and good friends even closer.  My dear friend Christine said it best when she heard the news of my permanent job: "You're finally home baby girl."  And I am.
