Quick LJ entry:
Went to Radium last weekend for the loop the lake Saturday morning, which was a 10K walk partially around Invermere's lake. If anyone has been there, you will know it's a beautiful place. We had nice weather for the walk, and Berni made it the whole way. I was proud of her. Other people who came with us included my mother, my brother, and my brothers girlfriend Caitlin. At the end, my brother and I raced for the finish line, and I just barely beat him by like a second. I BEAT AN ATHLETE! He claims he had to stop or he would have run into a pole. But I still beat him. and we both did the same 10K hike beforehand. So hah!
And then, my favorite part of loop the lake - the pancake breakfast afterwards! Yay pancakes!
We spent the afternoon swimming, although by the end of the day the weather had turned sour. Also by the end of the day, I was sunburned, unfortunately. I didn't realise until that night when we went to the hot springs after having my moms delicious marinated flank steak for dinner. We came back and had 'barbecued cheese cake', which was tasty, although I don't think I ate a full one. I actually don't remember; by then, we were all rather tired. Throughout the course of the day we also fit in a couple games of Carcassone somewhere.
Sunday was much more relaxed; we mostly just were lazy, played DS / read, and visited my grandparents. Mom, Caitlin, and Chris went minigolfing, but Berni and I didn't feel like it.
This coming weekend isn't going to be quite so full of summer fun and excitement. I'm going to my moms place tonight and staying there. I don't work tomorrow. Instead, my mom and I are going into a truck at 6:00 am and driving all the way to Vancouver. That's about a 12 hour drive. The good news is that we get there early enough Friday that lopi and I may be able to go for the bike ride we missed when I was in town last! The unfortunate news is that the next day we get to spend packing boxes into the truck, and then driving back to Calgary, which we probably won't finish Saturday so we finish it Sunday. So this weekend, except for a small bike ride break, is likely all packing and driving. I definitely owe my mom a bunch for spending 12 hours in a truck two ways to help me get my stuff back to Calgary cheaper.
And then I guess that's it. I'm out of BC. I gotta get my stuff organised here...this place is already a mess because we don't have storage to put anything in, and suddenly we're gonna have about 30 boxes more worth of stuff. It should be interesting. Hopefully I can bring some of my furniture with me though.
Speaking of which, I don't know when berni and I are going to have our next chance to do that. The weekend after we're back out in Radium for some weekend camping, or else in a cabin...I keep forgetting to mention the cabin to her. I should just forward her the e-mail so she can decide. I think Radium will win but who knows.
The weekend after there's talk of camping with a guy from work before the summers out, and in honesty, I was hoping to get to Vancouver to camp with lopi next month...so the idea of when we're going to have a weekend where we can just go to ikea or something seems to be some time off. And by the time that weekend occurs, it may have been 6 weeks since I had a weekend at home, so who knows if I'm even going to want to get off of my lazy behind.
Anyways, I have to get ready for work. We'll see how things go.
