Weekend update

Posted on January 24, 2005 By admin 24 Comments on Weekend update

*yawn*

I enjoyed this weekend. Drove down with my sister on friday afternoon and spent a quiet night with the parents. Saturday was more of the same. I took a walk with my dad to see the cabin he'd built in the woods. It's amusing and weird to see a cat run to follow my dad in deep snow :)

I discovered that our dog can climb up the stairs that lead up to the sleeping loft in the cabin. It's funny to see her jump up those stairs one rung at a time. It's even funnier to see her tumble down them – something like a controlled fall :)

Later that evening, my mother and I drove to Ottawa airport to pick up Katy. Poor thing, apparently she was grilled a bit by customs, moreso than usual. I think it's because been in and out of the country in a brief interval. She's now officially “in the system” and there's an official looking sheet of paper stapled in her passport :) Got her home safe and sound. She was well prepared to the -40 with about a dozen layers of clothing.

It was my mom's birthday on sunday, so we had a big brunch and all of us trekked out to the cabin again. It was a gloriously sunny day, and the snow was crunchy under our feet.

We left on sunday afternoon and mooched a lift with my sister back to Montreal. Nat and I were our usual weird self with songs on the radio – translating as we were singing, car dancing and generally grooving to the oldies. Finally got home 'round 6:30 on sunday, with everybody being generally traveled out. I'm indirectly feeling Katy's jetlag. I can only imagine what it is for her (well, not really, cause I lived it only a few weeks ago, but it's still a pain in the ass). We had a slow night, having some pasta goodness and falling asleep (well, she did) on a movie.

It took me a bit longer than usual to get to the office this morning, as it was hard to get out of bed and leave the warm body that inhabits it. She's here for a month *happy sigh*.

    I think my katy is cute, as is the outdoorsy setting where the pictures were taken. I'll tell my sister you think she's cute – it'll make her day.

    I would have to see him again to do that, and I'm hoping that that won't happen for a long while.

    She should get the thing I sent her any time soon… stupid Poste.

    I really don't know. He was being all sorts of random and weird today… more so than normal. He was complaining because he can't come to my house, not that I want him to, but also because my roommates don't like him. He was kinda whiney because usually I would be seeing Steph tonight, and I think he is jealous of her, and of you, and of Emilie, and of the guys I work with…. He was really freaking me out today.
