meet you in the woods.

the holidays have moved past me quickly and i feel like i haven't done an update in ages...not truly but, it feels like that.
yesterday found us at ailsa's place thinking about going out into the woods for a look see and walk...well, you can't have one without the other so - off we went. we packed up ailsa's car and tucked fiona in the back seat and away we went to the north shore - where it looked like rain. and it did. rain. but it was actually ok. afterwards - wet and even a little sweaty, we ate soup like champs and ate cheese in the form of pizza and grilled sandwiches. nice.

last night 'he who can not be named on the blog' came by, as he has a few times over the holidays and watched the hockey game and then, after showing off his new boxing day purchased leather jacket, was gone back to crazydale.
here's some stuff i know...i'll be back to bombing tonight with the boys and happy to be doing so. picking up soon-to-be dad corie along the way. (i think we're down to the last few strokes on this baby making he and katherine have been working on for nearly nine months now...truth be told, as always, his 'work', in the making of the baby wasn't really work. ) start the countdown from ten...starting....now!

i was just looking through the georgia straight and saw an ad for tickets to the walfdorf hotel new year's eve party. the pre-sale tickets are sold out. ok. the 'come early' tickets go on sale at 8 pm. ok. and all tickets will be 20 bucks off after 1 am....huh? i don't now how much the tickets were to begin with but to pay nearly anything after 1 am seems retarded. shit, i'll be deep into freaky dreams by 1 am...
the holidays make me, and i mean, make me, watch more tv and thank god for the gym down the hall...i will say this, i've noticed that all these cooking shows have the same cast of characters on them. or a lot of them do. one chef could be one five shows. one or two as a the 'boss' and the rest as some form of competitor. i should have learned to cook well...maybe i could have made a bunch of money, in a short amount of time making food on tv...or attempting to.
cooking and reno shows rule the holiday viewing.
i have watched some of the world juniors hockey tourney as well, when not off in the woods or looking out at the people boxing day/week shopping from my gym window...but after goal five or six or seven, i get a little bored, if not pissed off, at the players celebrating the same way after goal eight as they did in goal number one. no arm raising after a five goal lead.
ok. have fun today.
