oh i could get used to this. easily.
we are staying in the westin bayshore, which is conveniently located downtown. we ended up getting a junior suite due to some issues with availabilty and promises from MLC that we'd get a room. westin, being the superb chain that it is (i'm a fan), gave us the jr suite for the regular room prices. this means we have two living areas, one of which includes a balcony looking out on the harbour of the populated west end. from here i can see canada place and can watch the sea planes coming in and out. just being able to walk out on to the balcony with an in-room coffee in hand and breathe in the air rejuvanates me immediately. i love vancouver. have i mentioned that before?
so today is a franchisee meeting, which will be four hours of endless go-rounds and complaints. for now i'm "just" the wife, someone most look past. it probably doesnt help that i dont wear business suits either. hey, that's ok with me...i dont need to pretend to be someone or try to fit the mould of what a wife "should" look like. i'm totally ok with that. i kind of laugh, actually, at how some people will dismiss you immediately, but i really appreciate the anonymity of being able to walk into the conference room unmolested.
apparently darren's gf is coming with him, which means that i'm going to automatically be expected to babysit. what's worse is that he will micromanage our time together and "out of kindness" will book us spa treatments. on initial glance, one can not help but be happy about that, but when you realise that he's doing it to "keep an eye" on the gf, then you cant help but be angry. he had spent the last 1/2hr on the phone with chris and was not too happy to hear that i'd be attending today's franchisee meeting...what oh what will the gf do?
in the past i've always been the accommodating wife who takes to these gf's and befriends them. ya know what? i'm getting sick of it. i like these girls but i find it immensely difficult to develop friendships with them and then later discover that he's turfed them in the same manner he's used in the past. and then at the next convention, he'll have a new person to parade around and then be quite upset if i either do or dont take to her. with him, the rules change daily according to his moods. it's freaking annoying.
but that all being said, i vow to not let him and the gf and their endless dramas plague this trip.
i'm in yvr. it's beautiful. enough said.
