Started off my weekend with a trip down to the Parkway to watch the Motorcycle Ride for Dad go by (they're a client at work), and that was pretty cool. Then I walked back toward Lebreton, where Fuzzy was setting up for the Children's Festival. It was a very pretty walk, along the parkway bike path, but also very very long. That afternoon, we had ( Read more... )

So somehow, in my writing about the past weekend, I managed to completely forget to mention one of the more notable things that happened ( Read more... )

For the most part, it was good, despite this year's general December funk (I've decided to blame the weather). Had brunch with Alex & Sean on Sunday, then headed over to my parents' with Glenn in tow. Spent the night and the following day there, then came home to crash ( Read more... )

Fuzzy and I have been house-sitting for my parents, and the internet there is highly uncooperative. On the extremely off-chance anyone has been trying desperately to get a hold of me online, good luck with that.

I know there are "normal" people in the States, but you seriously wouldn't know it from watching this show. And I really find it amazing that there are actually people out ( Read more... )

Just listened to a phone message from my dad, and right in the middle of it, he stops and goes "Cat, what are you doing?" and then continues. And I'm sure this is much funnier if you know my dad and can therefore hear his tone of voice and whatnot, but I thought it was hilarious, so I thought I'd share. That is all.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! So I arrive at my parents' for dinner tonight, and who should be there but my favourite cousin and his fiancee. So exciting. I haven't seen him in 5 years, and now he's living here! So very very excited. The circumstances that bring him here from Vancouver aren't the greatest, but they don't involve anyone's death or ( Read more... )
