Wow, it's been forever since I've been on here. This blog interface feels foreign it's been so long. I've been really busy lately.
Regina weekend was relaxing and lots of fun. I harassed Pumpkin, visited with friends and family, caught up on some movies all good.
The next week I finally moved all my stuff to the new office. What a gong show! But now I work a block away from home and am all set up there. I have a nice window in my office now and I'm enjoying being downtown. Shannon and I took a walk outside today by the river, way more scenic than walking out by the airport!
Work is pretty hectic right now. I've been there late all this week. I can't wait for Christmas break right now. Hooray for a week off!
Darrell and I went to Calgary for the weekend. We stayed with his sister and brother in law in South Calgary. It felt like a whirlwind but we had lots of fun. I got to see John's new condo! And Jared and Conrad and various other Calgarians. I hurt John's feelings by going to Ikea without him. I seriously thought that Barbara and I tortured him last time by making him carry our stuff. There'll be a next time John. I did find some awesome curtains at Ikea to match my bedroom lamps. I'll have to get Darrell to hang them. I could do it, but he's so much handier and it'll probably be perfectly level and centered if he does it, I tend to get a little frustrated with that stuff sometimes and then it ends up good enough. There wasn't even any fighting or annoyances on the trip, weird. I think that's a road trip first. We saw Darrell's sister's art exhibit downtown, it was very cool, also had supper with Brett and Alnaar. It was so nice to see them. Alnaar is so cute and pregnant, it was nice to see. Darrell and I ended up being 40 mins late for supper though! It was my fault though, I was navigating on the map and didn't see which way Darrell turned on McLeod. We ended up going South instead of North, and I didn't realize which way we were going until we were far south, I was too enthralled in navigating and planning which way to go. And no fight, go figure. Still amazed at that. I took Darrell to his first 'all you can eat sushi' restaurant. All day, out of nowhere, I had to listen to impromptu yellings of "Sushi BBQ!" coming from him. But we found him a new winter coat that day so it was all worth it. He also got some really hot work clothes from Mexx. I didn't do any clothes shopping, I was happy with just doing Ikea. I got to meet Darrell's brother's family. His nieces are cute and sweet. Overall just a fun weekend.
Hopefully I get to do some christmas shopping this week. I have so many good ideas, I need to get on them. I'll share after Christmas, one is totally sweet.

Yeah, I never know where I am in Calgary and didn't even know I had turned the wrong way until it was suddenly getting dimmer outside and I was like, "Hmm, shouldn't there be more lights if we're going downtown?"
Oh well, I'm impressed we didn't get lost more. Calgary is a maze of interchanges!

SUSHI BBQ!!!!
Oh man - rumour has me working from Saskatoon from December 16-18, and again in January from whenever I come back to work (maybe the 31st? maybe the week after?) through to the 11th or so. We could go for walks!
except y'know it's all cold 'n' stuff
oooh, you're using the word "interchange" now. I looked up the work "pull off", it doesn't exist :P ;)
And James, we're going for that walk, maybe multiple. Let me know when you're in town, 'cause your company can see into my company's men's washrooms, and I have some payback to instate.....:)
