The melt
The snow is melting so I may even try and go to the store today. FYI I did make it out for Christmas, I got a ride and met them on the main street where they had plowed - it was delicious and worth the effort! Anyways, since then I have not left the house. I didn't even bother shoveling since I was still tired from half the driveway I shoveled on Christmas Day. Boxing Day I spent in a complete groggy state, everything but lying down was tiring. I managed to perk up yesterday and get some cleaning done so I feel pretty good about that at least. If I can just keep that up today I should get alot done...but it's already after 11:00 and I haven't gotten off the computer yet. I'll try and get off my ass soon. Try but no promises.

Christmas Eve
I am stranded, but enjoying the cozy indoors. If I can't make it out tomorrow for Christmas dinner at least I have perogies in the freezer!

Back
So, I am back home and EXHAUSTED! It was a crazy busy week and I got 3 hours of sleep and had to get up 1 a.m. my time to catch my flight today...But, I should really start the recap from the beginning.
Tuesday - Mom's chili, bowling with Todd x2 and I KICKED his ass. Woot!
Wednesday - my Mom & my Christmas gift exchange, steak from Saskatchewan (ask my Mom), and Speed Dating w/ Sharon (don't tell my mother) which was surprisingly okay and made me think I might try it again. Funny enough I had said to Todd the day before that I would never go, but as usual the 'never say never' thing is so true.
Thursday - meatballs at Auntie Mary's for lunch, and she even made shortcake with raspberries! Yum! Dinner at my co-workers, also steak, and my first cat of the week. I forgot what it's like to play fight with a clawed cat...
Friday - Auntie Nettie's for lunch, hottubbing with Brenda (3 cats and the CUTEST humpy dog I ever met) which by the way is crazy to do at - 25ish, our hair froze and I got a cold/wind burn on my forehead, then more cats at Julie & Eric's as well as a yummy refried bean sample.
Saturday - a day with the kids, which was great despite everyone thinking it would go poorly - death, destruction or worse - embarrassment, McDonald's (though I still didn't break my rule because I didn't pay), and then all-you-can-eat Sushi at Miso which was delicious (2 servings of gyoza). I also had an interesting time getting home because Cousin Mikie passed out half way through The Hulk movie and I couldn't wake him up despite 20 minutes of punching, slapping and yanking his arm. He did wake up enough to say 'turn off the light' so I left it on as a petty gesture, said good bye to Elwood and headed out into the cold Winnipeg night. Don't tell my Mom by the by. She would freak. Anyways, some crazy person was walking along the busy road trying to stop cars so I hoofed it across the street and went up a side street to the closest gas station. It took 3 attempts to get through to the cab company and then another 20 minutes for the cab to come. In the meantime the crazy person came to the gas station and proceeded to repeat her life story over and over and say 'I'm so juiced...I don't know where I am...can I get a cab?...I'm so juiced...I'm going to tell you the truth, I'm juiced....' and so on. I have to give credit to the 2 guys there, they were very patient and helpful. As soon as the cab came though I ran and jumped in, and almost burst into tears. He actually played the M.I.A. I know and love so I finally calmed down and got home by 2:30 a.m.
Sunday - brunch at Carol's - eggs benny, 1 more cat named Shit Face, Baked Expectations ( the Thai wrap is good by the by) w/ Christine(s), drinks with Cathy
Today - At the Airport by 4:30 a.m. central time, and I was wide awake until I got onto the plane and then I couldn't stay awake to save my life. I was stuck at the Edmonton Airport for a few extra hours due to all the weather problems and did some last minute Christmas shopping there. I admit I was getting frustrated waiting and envisioned violent acts on strangers. The Christmas spirit really didn't kick in until we were actually landing in Abby and I could relax. I had to dig Little Car out of the parking lot stall and barely made it into my driveway because of the giant pile of plowed snow in front of it but at least I'm home. Hal was a bit traumatized I think because he wouldn't come out from under the bed, but he's back to normal now.
Overall, it was a blast. But, bloody hell am I happy to have 2 weeks to recover.

Catch man
I am finally on holiday - no work for over 3 weeks! THREE WEEKS!!!! Woo hoooooo!!! Ok, so I have to clean up, get ready for Christmas, etc. but it's still such a relief and I look forward to all the free time. I'm heading back to the Peg next week so I can't slack off too much but that didn't stop me from watching 3 hours of Pimp My Ride today, and clearly I'm still on the computer now rather than cleaning. Whatever! I'm on holiday!
My week with Millie was actually fun. I think Clyde really enjoyed the company, or at least it was something interesting. She's the biggest suck I've ever met. And, she got a little bored during the day so my recycling kept getting scattered across the house. All the things Clyde use to do is what she did so it was a bit of a wake up call for me. She also got through my Clyde barrier and ate all of Hal's food. Poor cat, he spent the week running and hiding from her. The first day after she left he still hid in the bedroom but by the next day he was running around the house just because he could. I am also brutally out of shape and the walk around the block really tuckered me out, it's so lame. I really need to get my sh&% together. But, I guess I have 3 weeks to recharge and hopefully get back on track.
