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!!

Glad you enjoyed Seattle. Did you watch the fish-flinging at the fish shop (just behind you in the picture)?

When will you descend on Montreal? I'll probably be in la belle province some time in the next couple of weeks.

so excited about you coming to Montreal! Now you can see my sock live in person and not just on my blog! I might have to get you to be my Sweet-Georgia Dealer. I think I might need some more. I'll keep you posted!
