Roadtrips!

oh my. I'm about to stick a fork in my eye. Work is officially insane and I'm tired of being here. I would love to go home but I can't because I didn't drive myself here today. It was snowy and icey and I got a ride from Darrell instead. I really shoulda ventured out myself, it actually wasn't that bad. Then I wouldn't have to sit here and start tomorrow's work. I really don't want to start tomorrow's work and I don't think Darrell's near done. sigh...but that's what you get when you chicken out on the driving, lesson learned.

This weekend was fun. As you saw, I took out my tree, and started writing Christmas cards already. Saturday we went to the symphony. The guest pianist was absolutely amazing and the Tchaikovsky was as good as I remembered it. We had a nice supper at Chianti's that night too. mmmmm, artichokes and smoked salmon on linguine with dill sauce. Too good. Also watched the Roughriders make it into the Grey Cup! Go Riders! Shannon, Blair and Matt immediately bought plane tickets to Toronto after the game. They also got really good seats in Toronto. I'll be happy watching it on a tv. Although Toronto would be lots of fun. I also got a chance to visit with Enobong on Sun, I haven't seen her for quite a while, it was nice.

This week, like I said, has lots of work to be done. Also I think I ran a PB at the gym on Monday. It's hard to tell, I swear different treadmills have different settings even though they say they are the same. So, yay me! It was soooo nice outside Monday night, I woulda loved to have ran outside but unfortunately it was sheer ice.

This weekend I'm actually looking forward to going to Regina. I know, what's the deal? Maybe I've finally become a little homesick. That's a big maybe. Friday night I'm looking forward to spending the night with Heather and Matt and Wes at BPs. If you're reading this and you're in Regina and want to see me, come to BPs on Friday night! Darrell is helping out with some family things for the bulk of the weekend. I get to hang out with Pumpkin, watch the Rider game, and decorate another tree, only to have it re-decorated by my Mom. I thought I could avoid that last one, but I guess I can't. At least my tree is the way I want it. Maybe I'll just decorate the cat instead. They like that, don't they?

Next weekend is Calgary weekend! Yay Calgary! Yay short week! Also I should be moving into my new office next week. I'm excited to see Brett, Alnaar and John and selected other Calgarians. I'm torn on whether I should hit up Ikea....This is Darrell and mine's first road trip. (Going to Regina doesn't count) Should be interesting, I'm curious how it will go. You can tell alot about a person on a road trip. Previous roadtrips with boyfriends have revealed lots of truths of what they actually think of you. Like whether or not they secretly think you're a moron or if they trust your judgement. Whether or not they have tolerance for you and vice versa. Then the next most fun test, exactly how tolerant are they of you and finding the limit. How many empty cans of tomato juice can you keep in their car until they snap? How many times can you play ABBA Gold until it is threatened to be thrown out the window? Yes you might want to start writing your condolence letters to Darrell now....
