well into the new year....

yeah, so it's a new year. i made a bunch of resolutions. i think i've broke them ALL! i knew that was going to happen, don't know why i even bother! oh well.

and yeah, so i was in edmonton. and then i was in vancouver. and then i was in SEATTLE! oh what FUN! i was there for some learning (it was a conference) but there was lots of fun to happen. like this:

This is me and laura and dres on a pig at the pike market. i don't get the things with the pigs. but, hey FUN!

and of course i went to a yarn store! YEAH! had to get laura addicted to sock knitting!

We took the train down there (super fun! better to drink in the train then in a car! YEAH!) there was the first night of not being able to find a place for a drink (stupid shopping district...) but it turned out that i was back in the land where i could get drinks at a corner store (SWEET!)

oh! and if you are ever in the seattle area totally go on the tour of the underground. it was really really neat-oh fun. and i guess if you like that coffee drink i could point out where the first starbucks is. rob and i had a little adventure. here's a hint: it's near a cheese shop. oh! ever so hard to resist pulling out the monty python upon entering a cheese shop.

so seattle: there was learning, yarn shopping (and other shopping), eventually there was drinking (the comet has booze, i found this very funny after some beer. i took some posters home with me that said JUST that), and overall it was a great bonding experience with the UBC crew. YEAH! bonding! i even made a new super-best pal. she's my pal whether she likes it or not.. hmmm i wonder if there was a reason she didn't call a couple weekends ago...

then i was back in van once again. back to the schooling and the beer clubbing. oh and starting up a Stitch and bitch. we meet at tea shops. i feel that my tea collection is soon going to take over my entire kitchen as opposed to just the one cupboard that i reserve for tea.

AND i guess my BIG happy NEWS is that i bought plane tickets for montreal!!! YIPPIE! David, remember all those hugs you promised? well, now i'm coming to collect!!
