I've had a really great time on my vacation so far. Despite not being able to leave work really early on Friday, and then having to work when I got to Calgary, I made it before midnight which is all I need.

Today, I get to see my niece and nephew and family. It's going to be great because I got lots of sleep last night. I need lots of energy to have the maximum amount of fun with the kids. They're really great.

Yesterday, we had Thanksgiving dinner at my friends' mom's place. I haven't seen her in much too long. I spent a lot of time at her house when I lived in Calgary the last time so seeing her is always good for me. There was wine, appetizers, fantastic carrot soup, two turkeys (for 8 people), mashed potatoes, cauliflower, roasted potatoes and turnips, carrots, stuffing, and cake for dessert. It was amazing and we were all very, very full. Siochain's brother tried to object to a piece of cake, but he eventually ate it.

There was shopping, and I got some pretty clothes. I think I want the Christina Aguilera CD - Back to Basics. I'm shocked because I thought she ruined "Beautiful" with her vocal gymnastics. But I really like "Candyman" and "No Other Man" off this album. I like what I like. And Siochain made me listen to some opera which made me cry, in the good way.

Funny, I can't seem to recall much of what's happened since my last post. That's probably a good thing. OOooooo... except that some very good people from Edmonton came up to visit last weekend. And got to visit with j-bra more in that weekend than I had in a very long time. I think I'm going to go watch movies with him this week.
